AN: Just because a lot of the stuff towards the end of the episode Monument Point is kind of Olicity heavy and also, I can't really think much of how to alter those events, since that was one of the few things that was actually pretty well thought out, despite not having Laurel there during the end of season 4, I'm just going to skip ahead to the Nexus chamber scene at City Hall.


Green Arrow, Spartan and Black Canary were all standing in front of Darhk, watching in horror as he took in the deaths of all the people who died in Havenrock.

"Hello, Oliver. Nice timing. I think you're going to need much bigger arrows." Darhk said, though his voice seemed to be a bit distorted from absorbing so much death.

Green Arrow responded by firing 3 arrows at him, only to have them turn to dust before they could even make contact with Darhk.

"Cool. You know, I didn't even mean to do that." Darhk said, his voice back to normal as Spartan fired at him, only to have his bullets meet the same effect as the arrows.

"I turn steel arrows into dust, and you thought lead would do the trick?" Darhk asked him.

"What about this?" Black Canary asked as she unleashed her Canary Cry on Darhk, who simply looked a bit discomforted.

"He's not human anymore." Black Canary said.

"Oh, I'm still human. Just better." Darhk said as he sent them all flying back with his magic.

"Doesn't give you the right to remake the world." Green Arrow said as he got to his feet, wondering why he wasn't able to resist Darhk's magic like before.

"Why not? It's been done before. Noah and the flood. People even worship the responsible party." Darhk pointed out before he raised his hands again.

"This might smart a little. I'm pulling the oxygen out of your bodies, molecule by molecule, but here's the good news. I'm not going to kill you. Well, not right now, at least. Instead, I'm going to regain control of Rubicon. That way, when the whole world goes all "Dr. Strangelove," you can feel your skin melt from Armageddon." Darhk said as he attacked them again, but this time, Black Canary was able to resist as the chamber began to come collapse as Darhk left it.

"Oliver, let's go! Come on! We got to go now!" Black Canary said when suddenly a huge rock collapsed in front of the exit.

"We're trapped." Spartan said.

Black Canary, acting on pure instinct, reached out her hands and blasted pure sonic energy out of them, reducing the rock to pebbles.

"How did you do that?" Spartan asked.

"I have no idea." Black Canary said.

"Figure it out later, we need to move now before his whole place collapses on us." Green Arrow said as they rushed out.


"A long-range ballistic KN-08 missile was responsible for the nuclear blast at Havenrock. The Pentagon has not further commented. FEMA and city emergency services personnel continue their quarantine." the news reporter said on the TV monitor that Quentin was watching as Oliver, John and Laurel reentered the bunker.

"What's going on? What the hell happened in Havenrock?" Quentin asked as he hugged his daughter.

"Darhk happened." Oliver said simply.

"This city is starting to panic. Are they right to?" Quentin asked.

"Felicity's got it under control, but my wife and her top secret government agency's looking for a more permanent solution." John said.

"I cannot get in touch with Thea!" Oliver said angrily as he checked his phone again.

"It's ok. She got ahold of me." Felicity said as she and Roy entered the bunker.

"Thanks for not being dead." Felicity then said to Oliver.

"Um, aren't we all going to be if you're away from your computer?" Quentin asked.

"Curtis and Kuttler are dealing with Rubicon and Nyssa is there with them as our insurance policy." Felicity said.

"What did Thea say? Do you know where she is?" Oliver asked.

"It's not good news. HIVE has her." Felicity said and Oliver cursed under his breath.

"Do you have a location?" Laurel asked.

"I'm tracing a signal. I should have taken more processors from Palmer Tech on my way out." Felicity said.

"They made a mistake letting you go. They'll see it." John said.

"And if they don't, I'm taking revenge plan suggestions." Felicity said, much to both Oliver and Laurel's annoyance.

"Got it. Thea's message came from the intersection of Berkeley and Childress, right in the heart of the Glades." Felicity said.

"I thought you said Thea and her boyfriend went out of town." Quentin asked Oliver.

"I thought they did. Let's go." Oliver said to John, Laurel and Roy, who nodded.

"I-I'm coming with you." Quentin said.

"I want you to stay here. If this gets worse, the city is going to need someone to listen to that they can trust." Oliver said and Quentin nodded.


The team was now at the location, but were surprised by the lack of Hive and lack of Thea in the area.

"Overwatch, are you sure this is the spot? There's nothing here." Green Arrow said over the comms.

"That's impossible. Ok, not impossible, but my backtrace on Thea's message has a 99.9999% accuracy rate, so unless this is part of the .0001 percentile." Overwatch said.

"It's just an empty street." Spartan said.

"Just look for anything out of place, all right? Whatever HIVE has built is probably recent, you know, new." Quentin pointed out.

"Well Roy, you're our resident Glades expert, anything here look out of the ordinary to you?" Green Arrow asked Arsenal, who after looking around, noticed a sewer entrance not that had not been there a year ago.

"Is there supposed to be sewer access on the street?" Arsenal asked.

"Not according to city plans." Overwatch said and Green Arrow understood.

"Stand by." Green Arrow said as he fired an arrow at the grate, which dropped revealing a tunnel, which the 4 of them all dropped into.


"How did HIVE build all this without anyone knowing?" Arsenal asked as they walked through the tunnel.

"Well, doesn't hurt having someone controlling the city's infrastructure." Green Arrow said.

"Can't find any public blueprints on file for an underground lair with a creepy sewer entrance." Overwatch said as the 4 of them entered a door and could not believe what they were seeing.

"Believe me There are no public blueprints for this." Black Canary said as they realized that comm signal was lost.

"Unbelievable. Just like Mount Weather," Spartan said and then at the looks he got from the others, he elaborated, " Continuity of government facility built by FEMA during the cold war, in case of a nuclear attack."

"I think that we found the ark that HIVE's been building." Green Arrow said.

"It's crazy. Take away the psychos in the smocks And it might as well be Ivy Town." Green Arrow said as they walked through the city.

"Everyone looks so happy." Arsenal said.

"Happy's easy when you're mindless on some little yellow pill. Let's just assume we weren't invited over for casserole." Spartan said.

"What's our play?" Black Canary asked.

"We split up and find Thea. John, scope the houses on the north, Laurel, take the east side, Roy head west and I'll head south." Green Arrow said and they all nodded as they split up.
