Laurel and Layton were going down the park with Aracely as they watched her playing with a dog.

"Layton, I don't know about this."

"Honestly, me neither." He admitted. "But I think that you spent so much time in the dark that you need to find your way back to light. Let me help you."

"I'm not sure if I deserve it." Laurel admitted. "I shouldn't be worth helping."

"Come on." Layton laughed. "If that were true, why are you still with us?"

"I… I don't know." Laurel hesitated. "But all I can think of is Aracely. Where's she from? Where's her family?"

"We'll figure it out." Layton promised. "I think going to Mexico is a good place to start as any."

Then, the next thing they both knew, they were hit in the necks with darts as everything cut to black before Laurel saw a silhouette of a woman in black suit with a sword and bow and quiver.

"Talia…" Laurel whispered before everything cut to the black.


Laurel woke up as she was in some warehouse as she looked around and then looked down to see that she was in her Black Siren suit and groaned as she held her head. "Where the hell…"

"You can't escape your past, Laurel, no matter how hard you try."

Laurel didn't recognize the voice echoing in the room but it was apparently a man. "Where am I? Where are my friends?!"

"Safe. For now. But I'm here to remind you."

"I'm not going to play your games, Chase!" Laurel yelled. "When I find you, I'm going to kill you!"

"I'm not Adrian Chase. I'm here for the girl."

"Aracely…" Laurel realized. "Why are you after her?! Who are you?!" Then, the door in front of her opened as Laurel went out, seeing the photo of Robert Queen in Green Arrow suit as she remembered exposing him, on a wall, being shown by the projector. Then, her posing as her doppelganger and photo on Lian Yu with Chase.

"I'm not some kind of your puppet, I'm not going to play your games!"

"Oh, but you will, if you want to make sure your friends make it out alive. I know everything about you, Laurel. What you've done on Earth-2 to Robert and here to Oliver, Laurel, Diggle, Thea… your father…"

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?!" Laurel demanded as she walked down the corridor before from above jumped down Talia as Laurel dodged.

"We have an unfinished business, Siren." Talia sneered.

"Where are my friends?" Laurel demanded.

Talia attacked Laurel with a knife as Laurel blocked and kicked her back and Talia kicked Laurel, aiming at her legs as Laurel fell down and as Talia was about to kill her with her knife, Laurel unleashed her Siren Cry, knocking Talia on the ground as Laurel got up and used another Siren Cry on the ceiling as from above fell down some debris as Talia was buried under the rubble, subdued.

"Where are they?!" Laurel demanded as Talia laughed.

"They're all dead. The cop, the doctor, the bartender… all of them. And guess what? That sweet little Mexican girl is next!"

"No!" Laurel snarled, grabbing Talia and taking a deep breath, about to finish her off with her Siren Cry before she remembered what had happened, when Oliver faced off Adrian Chase on Lian Yu and he told him that he had killed William. "I don't believe you. Because you're a psychotic bitch, trying to manipulate me into doing what you want. Just like Chase was trying to play Oliver. Well, guess what? I'm done playing any games!" Laurel instead used her Siren Cry on Talia's leg, shattering it as Talia screamed in pain before she knocked Talia out. "I won't kill you… but I'll make sure you can't hurt anyone I care about."


Laurel went down the room before she saw Layton, Meland, Annabelle and Aracely in restraints, chained to pillars.

"Laurel!"

"What the hell…" Laurel whispered before an explosion followed, knocking her on the ground.

Laurel groaned as she got up, coughing out.

"It's time to be what you're supposed to be, Laurel. A killer." The bearded man in brown suit said, appearing in front of her.

"Who are you?!" Laurel demanded.

"You can call me, the Coyote." The elder man said as Laurel tensed. The coyote from Aracely's dreams…

"Let my friends go!" Laurel snarled.

"Only if you kill me." The Coyote said.

"What? Why?" Laurel snapped.

The man snapped his fingers as Meland suddenly started to bleed from his gut.

"No!" Laurel exclaimed. "I'm gonna kill you."

"Then, do it." The Coyote challenged. "The protector of the Hummingbird."

"The hummingbird…" Laurel whispered before remembering Aracely telling her that she had dreamt about hummingbirds… "What do you want from her?"

The man waved his hand as Laurel was flying in the air.

Having had enough of being messed with by powerful beings, Laurel unleashed a powerful Siren Cry, knocking the man away as she rushed at him and started to pummel him relentlessly as suddenly...

"Laurel, stop!"

Laurel turned around, facing her friends, who were looking at her in horror at her ruthlessness as Annabelle and Aracely looked horrified, Meland was shocked and bleeding and Layton was imploring.

"That's not who you are anymore." Layton tried to plead. "You're not a monster."

"Yes. You are." The Coyote said. "Do it. Kill me."

"No." Laurel shook her head. "I'm done. I'm not that person anymore."

Suddenly, the Coyote snapped his fingers and Meland tilted his head with a 'crack', staring without seeing as his neck was snapped.

"No!" Laurel exclaimed before the Coyote vanished.

Laurel undid the restraints on Aracely, Annabelle, Layton and Meland as they measured Meland's pulse. "Is he…"

"He's still breathing. Barely." Layton nodded.

Laurel looked at her bloodied hands as she felt like if she wasn't even recognizing herself anymore.


Few days later

"It's luck that Meland is still alive." Layton assured Laurel in the hospital as some people were looking at her a little frightened.

"They're all afraid of me." Laurel whispered.

"No. They're just confused… you let your emotions get the best of you. It sometimes happens." Layton assured her. "You can prove to them that you can be better than…"

"I'm not a hero, Layton. They have every right to be afraid of me." Laurel said. "I… I never should have stayed here."

"Wait." Layton held her as she was about to leave. "What about Annabelle? Me? And Meland?"

"I'm sorry… but I never should have let you into my life." Laurel said.

"Laurel, just because you made a mistake, it doesn't mean that…"

"You don't understand." Laurel said. "Everyone around me suffers as price for my sins. And that's why I can't afford to be around you."

"Laurel, you can't honestly believe that." Layton tried to reason.

"Would this have happened, if I hadn't come here?" Laurel snapped as she pointed at Meland in the hospital room, who was in a coma.

"Laurel…" Layton paused, not sure what to say.

"I'm sorry. But I should go. You see that they're afraid of me. As they should be." Laurel said as some people were recognizing her and being a little freaked out.

She walked out of the hospital, sad and with tears in her eyes. "Why won't you stay here?"

"Because I'm not a hero. I'm a killer."
