Thank you so much for all the follows, favs and reviews! I love hearing from you all about this, so I decided to finish the Arrow perspective in this one and make her leave at the end. So this will probably be: One Arrow episode (ep23) and then a bit of Flash at the end… as this is actually a Flash fic *covers face in embarrassment* enjoy :)
Around 4 months later…
"Ollie? Oliver you with us?" Maya checked, glancing over at Felicity and Dig concerned.
"Oliver, man, you okay?" Diggle asked.
Oliver seemed to snap out of his daze, turning round to look at Roy who lay on a makeshift table, unconscious.
"The cure's not working," Oliver stated, watching Roy.
"We don't know that," Felicity instantly countered, "he still has a lot of Tibetan pit viper venom in his system."
Suddenly the clock tower was filled with the sound of an alarm and Dig immediately whipped his head around, "What's that?"
Felicity headed towards the noise, "Proximity alarm."
Felicity headed to her tablet and continued talking, "I rigged the tower with alarms just in case Slade's goons came here to kill us."
Maya glanced at the screen, quickly counting the thermal signatures, "Slade's goons are here to kill us."
"Talk to me, Felicity," Oliver demanded as he broke into action.
"They're inside they are right underneath us," Felicity hurried.
Oliver headed to the broken window, and Maya turned at the sound of a groan- Roy was awake, looks like the alarms woke him…
"Where am I?" Roy asked groggily, he didn't seem to notice Oliver and Maya as the hatch flew up and one of Slade's goon's poked their head through. Roy turned and punched one, only to pull his hand back in pain and for the soldier to flip him over.
Maya slipped her mask on again along with her mask, Oliver doing the same and she shot at one of them, catching their hand. Ollie kicked them back down and slammed the hatch shut.
"Ahh!" Felicity screamed as a man grabbed onto her ankle through the floor boards.
"Felicity!" Dig yelled, shooting the man and pulling her away.
Oliver shot a cable from the tower, "Down the cable!"
Roy didn't hesitate, grabbing a hook and leaping off, Dig grabbed the S.T.A.R. Labs case and did the same, Maya jumped off, and Felicity soon followed with Oliver.
A helicopter flew next to the tower, a spotlight shone on the soldiers and was soon followed by a missile, and Dig smirked as he saw Lyla holding the launcher.
The six of them walked into the base, Maya carefully stepping over the rubble, she heard Dig and Felicity asking what happened.
"Lyla, your boss is gonna bomb the city at dawn," Oliver stated, turning to Dig and Lyla.
"Yeah, Waller's never seen a problem she didn't think couldn't be solved with a drone strike," Dig spat.
"Why do you think I'm here?" Lyla suddenly revealed.
"You knew Waller was looking to level the city and you came here anyway?" Dig inquired, confused.
"You're here," Lyla answered simply.
"You need to go back to A.R.G.U.S.," Oliver cut in, "you need to stop Waller or buy us enough time to stop Slade."
"Not without me," Dig shook his head, turning to his love, "till death do us apart, right?"
Lyla sighed, "This time it might."
"Let's not think like that," Maya interjected.
"Guys," Ollie called out, "I need to scrounge out as many weapons as you can find, especially injection arrows. We're going to fill them with the cure."
"Which obviously works," Maya pointed out, looking at Roy in his red hoodie.
"This ends tonight," Oliver finished, "without killing… there's been enough death already."
Maya watched from the next to Ollie as Felicity measured the cure into injection arrows as Roy spoke to her. Maya listened to Diggle saying about an army, she spun round hastily when she heard footsteps.
"I know," Nyssa al Ghul smirked, "which is why an army is what I've brought."
Maya glared at Nyssa, whose eyes showed slight surprise to see her there, behind Nyssa was around 7 assassins… not including Sara and herself.
"Gee, Sara, you could have called before you invited…" Felicity quickly counted, "five, six, seven assassins into our top secret lair."
"Why is she here?" Oliver demanded.
"I asked her too," Sara whispered.
"I am Nyssa al Ghul, daughter of Ra's al Ghul. Heir to the demon," Nyssa introduced herself intimidatingly.
"Felicity Smoak, MIT class of '09," Felicity mocked.
"And you know me," Maya hissed to Nyssa as Ollie and Sara strode off.
She vaguely heard her name preceded by 'these are the mercenaries' and followed by 'trained with' and something about a price.
"You and Maya may not want my help, Mr Queen," Nyssa interrupted calmly, walking over with Maya glaring at her behind, "but there is little question you are in need of it."
"First we need to find Slade's base of operations," Sara decided.
"Slade Wilson and Isabel Rochev are using your former office building as their base of operations," Nyssa informed perfectly.
Oliver was instantly gone, over to Ro, with Nyssa retreating back to her small army.
"This isn't safe, you know what they can do," Maya hissed to Sara.
"And so do you," Sara bit back, "they have a deal, they'll keep their side if I keep mine."
"But what happens if they drag me back with them?" Maya pointed out, "you said it yourself. You don't leave the League."
Maya was told by Oliver to go with Roy, to keep both him and Thea safe. So she was standing next to Roy in her black suit, weapons on her back, watching the TV.
As Roy turned the news of, Thea walked through the door. Maya decided to give the two a moment, phasing back through the wall to the alley. She felt her phone buzz and pulled it out, reading the text quickly.
It was Oliver.
Meet me outside my house with Roy in 10.
Maya clicked the phone off, glancing at Roy as he walked out, "Where is she?"
Roy hesitated, "She's waiting for me to get back."
Maya nodded and the two walked to her bike, she got on kick starting it and Roy climbed on behind, "You ready for this?"
"As I'll ever be," Roy replied shakily.
They were walking through the tunnel, Maya to Oliver's right with Roy behind her and Sra to his left followed by Nyssa.
"No kill shots," Oliver instructed, "let the cure do its work."
A whole horde of masked men turned from the front in the tunnel, grunting before running at them, Maya knew there were more than a lot of League members behind her, but she was still slightly worried.
Then one thought in particular hit her, what if she didn't make it? What if she died? She'd never see Barry or Iris or Joe again, if Barry woke up from his coma she'd be dead. No, she'd make it back to Central City.
Maya wasn't going to be a ghost anymore, leaving memories everywhere she went after she left. She wasn't a ghost, not any more.
"Ready?" Oliver shouted, "Ready! Ready, fire!"
Maya pulled out her bow, yanking an injection arrow from her quiver and firing at the first masked one she saw, watching him slump to the ground and the blue liquid slowly drained.
More and more of Slade's men dropped as Nyssa, Roy, Oliver, Maya, Sara and the League fired more and more arrows, hitting almost every time.
Maya was surrounded by four of the orange and black men, she took down two with arrows, and she then kicked one in the leg, bringing him to one knee and grabbed an arrow from her quiver then stabbed it into his shoulder.
She reached back to grab another, but a gloved hand grabbed her arm and flipped her onto the floor, the last goon brought his hand down towards her face, only to fall down next to her with an arrow in his back.
Oliver held out his hand for her as he put down his bow, she took it, then quickly grabbed another arrow and shot it past his shoulder into another masked man.
Oliver nodded to her before they carried on shooting. After the last one dropped, Ollie stood on a car, pressing answer to a call, "Go."
"It's over Slade! Your army is broken," the Arrow shouted into the phone, Maya only heard snippets, but the last bit she heard clearly. Slade had Felicity.
Maya stood silently in the shadows, keeping her and Sara invisible until needed, when Slade fell from the cure, Sara quickly shot the man holding Laurel with a vial too.
"Get them out of here!" Oliver yelled, gesturing to the two women.
Maya gave Ollie a stern look through her mask, "Be careful, Ollie. Please."
Maya then grabbed Felicity and ran for it, Sara and Laurel behind her, she left just as Oliver picked up his green bow from the floor.
After she left Felicity with Sara and Laurel, she went to the docks, she knew Nyssa would be there. As she stood by crates, she heard Nyssa come up behind her.
"I take it you still won't be joining Sara and I?" Nyssa asked, crossing her arms.
"I'm not ready to yet. I'm still needed by my family, and my friends, I can be a murderer, and I was a murderer in the League. But I can also be a hero, like I am here in Starling, I may be known as vigilante, but what I do is good," Maya smiled, taking a deep breath, "and that's all I ever wanted to be."
"So be it," Nyssa sighed, "but you will need a favour one day, and you will know the price."
Maya watched as Nyssa walked away.
The next day…
Maya stood next to Felicity and John as Oliver climbed out 10 minutes later of the holding cell Slade was in. They started walking along the beach, and Maya watched as the waves lapped against the pebbles and sand.
"Last time I didn't notice," Felicity clarified, "it's actually kind of beautiful here. Don't get me wrong, I'm counting the seconds until we shove of Minefield Island."
"Do you think it will be enough to hold him, A.R.G.U.S. super Max?" John asked.
"Him and anyone else we send here," Oliver nodded.
"In that case we might need a bigger cell," Maya grinned.
"Maya's right, this battle may be over, but there will be others," Oliver agreed, "starting with getting my family's company back."
"That's not going to be easy, since you're poor now," Felicity said out loud, "you're going to have to get a job."
"That'll be funny," Maya smirked, "Ollie getting a job, does he know how to do that?"
"If Slade doesn't scare him then that has to," Felicity added.
"Do you guys know anyone hiring ex-billionaires with superior archery skills?" Oliver inquired.
"Hey, uh, why don't Maya and I give you two a second?" Dig suggested, half dragging Maya off.
"But I was enjoying teasing him!" Maya protested, the two sat in the sand and waited.
"Dig, what was the news about you and Lyla?" Oliver asked as they walked over.
"It can wait," Dig shrugged it off, the two of them standing up.
"I'm flying," Ollie stated as they walked towards the plane.
"Be my guest," Dig replied.
"I got one more question!" Felicity suddenly exclaimed.
"Wouldn't be you if you didn't," Oliver smiled.
"If you spent five years on this island, when did you learn how to fly a plane?" Felicity questioned.
When they got back, Maya walked into Verdant with the other three and her phone started buzzing like crazy, she sighed and pulled it out. It was Caitlin, she had switched numbers after meeting them when they were attacked by Slade in the warehouse.
"He-," Maya didn't even get a word out.
"Maya! Maya it's Barry!" Caitlin yelled.
Maya stopped, causing curious looks from the other three, "What happened, is he okay?"
"That's the thing," Caitlin said, turning around to look at the man behind her, "he's awake."
The next chapter should be up on Thursday since I got a day off then. Sorry these last two chapters have been about Arrow but I wasn't sure what else to do with Maya 'cause I didn't want her out for 9 months… the next chapter will be Flash though- I promise!
