Making sure to be as quiet as possible as he slowly stalks his way through the darkness through a large empty floor with nothing but a couple of stacks of wooden pallets neatly stacked just before him with his grip on his bow only tightening just as he is about to round the pallets the sight of a fresh spot of blood leaking off the end of the pallet causes him to come to a drastic halt.
Readying his bow as he gets down into a crouch and listens in to hear nothing but pure silence all around him other than the sound of the blood dripping down from the pallet just as he slowly rises up to his feet as he hears the sound of a bow being reared back in a sudden motion Oliver rolls off to the side nearly avoiding an arrow intended for his arrow that strikes hard against the wooden pallets leaving the arrow sticking straight out.
Snapping his head towards the direction of where he had seen the arrow being shot from with his aim firm as he sees a figure slowly making their way through the shadows with his grip on his arrow only tightening within moments as he sees the figure emerge out of the shadows and into the light just as he is about to rear back and release the arrow intending to hit his target in the chest suddenly Oliver's eyes briefly go wide before his grip on his bow tightens when he sees the hooded figure throwing back their hood revealing a wave of short dark brown hair.
To reveal a face that he never thought he would ever see again. Especially now. The face of once his mentor. One of the daughters of the demon and the late Raus al Ghul. One of what could be considered the deadliest women on the planet.
Keeping her stone cold glare focused on Oliver as she sees him ready to unleash the arrow from his bow just as she rears back and grabs a hold of an arrow instantly Talia's eyes go as wide as saucers when she feels the arrow being shot immediately out of her hand.
With her glare only intensifying retracting her hand as she sees Oliver slowly rise up to his feet with his bow firmly at his side just as she locks eyes with him sudden movement coming from her side causes her to look up.
In a flash as she feels a red blur whizzing past her causing her to feel a gash instantly open up on her cheek to only hear the object striking the far ground of the room with a loud clang snapping her head towards where the shot had come from as she sees a red hooded archer staring directly at her with an intense glare of her own with her glare only intensifying reaching up Talia grazes her cheek with her fingertips.
Glancing down towards her hand as she sees blood dripping down her fingers to the ground below with her eyes going as wide as saucers in a sudden motion Talia snaps her head to look over towards the archer to see her throwing back her hood revealing her face by Oliver's side
Keeping her eyes focused on Talia as she sees the daughter of the demon's glare only intensifying by the second suppressing a grin for a brief second Thea glances over towards Oliver to see him doing the same before slowly as she moves forward to stand in front of Oliver instantly Thea locks eyes with Talia as she returns the glare.
" Go. Finish what you started. I'll take care of her."
Staring at her stone cold face as he sees her facial features not wavering nodding his head with his eyes glancing over towards Talia slowly Oliver makes his way around Thea and across the room before for a split second as he glances over his shoulder to see them in stare off without any hesitation Oliver charges forward into the darkness until seconds later he disappears out of the room leaving the ladies all alone.
Keeping her eyes focused forward as she listens to the sound of her brother's footsteps echoing through the empty room until they suddenly vanish with her grip on her bow only tightening without taking her eyes away from Talia slowly Thea starts to circle around her as she sees her doing the same.
Suddenly as she bursts from her spot to charge forward at Talia with a raised fist just as she sends the fist down to only feel her fist being caught easily just as she sees a brief smirk come across Talia's face in a sudden move rearing back Thea sweeps Talia's right leg from underneath her to only back peddle a couple of feet when she feels Talia landing a clean kick to her chest as she twists in the air to land in a kneel.
Snapping her head to look back at her opponent as she sees Talia quickly reaching back to cock a bow just as she sees Talia releasing the bow leaping out Thea rolls out of the way nearly avoiding the arrow as she grabs an arrow of her own before in a sudden move as she unleashes the arrow to only see Talia shooting the arrow out of the air with an arrow of her own Thea's eyes slightly widen.
Rearing back as she grabs another arrow without any hesitation as she unleashes the arrow to only see Thea roll out of the way towards a pillar in the corner rearing back Talia grabs a hold of another arrow.
Without breaking her stride as she rolls across the ground nearly avoiding every arrow that is being sent her way just as she nears the pillar suddenly as she rolls behind the pillar to hear nothing but an incoming arrow deflecting off the structure with ease rearing back Thea grabs a hold of a few arrows from her quiver.
In an instant move as she rolls out from the pillar to send a series of arrows out in the direction of Talia just as she sees her avoiding the arrows in a series of flips with her grip on her bow only tightening Thea bursts from her spot.
Landing into a kneel hearing the sound of loud footsteps quickly approaching snapping her head up as she sees Thea leaping up at her with a raised knee reaching up Talia blocks the incoming strike with her bow before just as she hears the sound of a crunch signaling the end of her bow without any hesitation rearing back Talia snaps her bow in half to send a well placed strike with half of the bow across Thea's face causing her to roll a couple of feet away.
Feeling a gash instantly starting to open up across her cheek snapping her head up to look at Talia as she sees her discarding the remains of the bow in her hand into the darkness with an intense glare coming across her face slowly Thea rises up to her feet.
Keeping her eyes focused on Talia as she sees a smirk forming across the older woman's face with her glare only intensifying reaching out slowly Thea extends her bow out to her side before without any hesitation she tosses the bow off to the side with a loud clang.
Releasing a breathe as she feels her anger slowly residing with her eyes locked on Talia slowly Thea starts to circle around Talia as she sees her doing the same before mere seconds later as she sees Talia charging forward without any hesitation Thea does the same.
Rearing back as she sends a right hook to only feel her fist colliding with Talia's own just as she rears back and sends a high kick in Talia's direction suddenly Thea's eyes widen slightly when she feels her kick being easily blocked before suddenly as she sees Talia rearing back to kick her foot out from under her without any hesitation Thea leaps up intending to knee Talia in the face.
Seeing the attack coming reaching up as she quickly catches Thea's knee in her hand rearing back with all of her might Talia throws Thea off to the side to watch her land down in a kneel before just as she is about to charge forward Talia snaps her head to the side just in time to avoid an incoming fist.
Without any hesitation rearing back just as she turns intending to deliver a spinning kick to Thea's lower back suddenly Talia feels her head snapping to the side when she feels a well placed high spinning kick being delivered across her cheek causing her to roll a couple of feet away.
Snapping her head up as she sees Thea staring down at her with what she thought to be a brief grin across her face with her eyes slightly widening slowly Talia rises up to her feet.
" Impressive. You have lasted longer than most."
Letting out a sigh as she keeps her eyes locked with Thea's own rearing back Talia grabs a hold of a familiar piece of metal stored away on her back.
" It was not my intention to kill you. But i suppose it will be better this way then having to live with the pain. The very same pain that your brother has brought to me."
In a sudden motion as she unsheaths her sword from her back to see Thea's eyes widen slightly with her facial features hardening slowly Talia gets into a fighting stance.
Suddenly as she sees Talia charging forward with her brief shock quickly wearing off just as she sees Talia sending a slash her way instantly Thea moves out of the way nearly avoiding the downward strike before a mere second later she jumps back a few feet nearly avoiding a slash intended to open up her stomach.
Keeping herself moving as she keeps her eyes focused on Talia nearly avoiding every sword slash that is being delivered her way just as she rears back her foot intending to deliver a high kick to Talia's head suddenly Thea's eyes widen as she rolls quickly off to the side when she feels a clean sword slash landing directly across her thigh instantly causing her to feel blood trickling down her leg to the ground below.
Holding her cut snapping her head up just as she sees Talia rearing back to send a sword slash down intended for her head suddenly Thea's eyes widen when she sees a black blur instantly appear in front of her before the sound of metal striking metal echoes throughout the room.
Staring directly into Talia's eyes with her facial features hardening by the second rearing back Siren pushes Talia away a couple of feet to the woman's shock before slowly as she watches Talia rising up to her feet her grip around the staff in her hand tightens.
Glancing over her shoulder as she sees Thea staring up at her with a mixture of emotions coming from her eyes as a noticeable trail of blood leaks from her leg to the ground below with an intense glare coming across her face instantly Siren snaps her head to look back at Talia.
" Go help Oliver. Leave the bitch to me."
Taking her eyes off Talia for a brief second to glance over her shoulder as she sees Thea frozen to her spot on the ground with her facial features hardening Siren's eyes go wide.
" Now Thea!"
Jumping up in surprise snapping out of her shock gritting her teeth as she nods her head slowly Thea rises up to her feet before slowly as she favors her leg quietly Thea makes her way through the shadows and towards the other end of the room.
Snapping her head to look back forward with her grip on her staff only tightening causing her knuckles to go white slowly as she stares directly into Talia's eyes to see her staring back with equal hatred slowly Siren starts to circle around her as she sees her doing the same.
Keeping focused on her face instantly as she sees Talia charging forward bursting from her spot Siren does the same before mere seconds later as Siren blocks Talia sword strike causing a loud clang to echo through their surroundings.
Rearing back as she sends another sword slash down to only feel Siren blocking the attack with ease with the staff in her hands keeping her eyes focused on her opponent rearing back in a series of moves Talia sends slash after slash in Siren's direction to only feel her slashes be instantly blocked each time causing her hands to rattle from the impact of metal striking metal.

With an intense glare forming across her face as she snaps up to her feet and quickly gets into a fighting stance just as she is about to charge forward Talia quickly has to snap her head to the side when she sees Siren ramming the staff head forward intended for her face.
Rearing back as she sends a low spinning staff strike that is instantly dodged by a leaping Talia seeing an opening being presented to her just as she feels Talia landing down in an effort to snatch the staff out of her hands with her hold on the staff loosening rearing back with all of her might Siren sends a well placed heel to Talia's chest sending her flying into a wooden crate instantly shattering it to pieces as the staff goes flying into the shadows with a clang.

Feeling intense pain all across her back gritting her teeth as she pushes herself up to her feet to the sound of heels slowly clanging in her direction just as she looks up suddenly Talia feels herself being sent once again flying into the pillar with a sickening thud.
