"You can't live in fear." - Nicolas Cage, Ghost Rider

Team Flash and Team Supergirl both had a rough February. Team Arrow seems to have it as rough as they have.

First, they had to help John get out of jail. Oliver asked Adrian Chase to find a way to keep Diggle in Star City and away from General Walker's hands. Chase goads Diggles into hitting him. Assaulting a city official meant Diggle brought himself down to Chase's jurisdiction, which is what the latter wanted. Meanwhile, Felicity meets a hacktivist codenamed Kojo Sledgehammer (her actual name is Alena) who gives her a file to use against Walker, along with a cache of secret information. Felicity sends the information to Chase under the guise of an anonymous source. Chase manages to get John released on bail.

After that, they traveled to Russia to track down General Walker and stop him from selling a nuke. Prometheus' message to Oliver was beginning to come to light ("You will the lives of everyone around you."). Felicity blackmails a Russian analyst. The threat involved the death of his family if he doesn't cooperate. When the team captured one of Walker's men, Diggle tortured him by using him as a punching bag. John found Walker and wanted to kill him, but in the end, he spares him so the corrupt general can live with the consequences of his actions. Ragman and Overwatch found the nuke, but it was on a countdown that couldn't be hacked to shut down. Rory uses his rags to absorb the blast, rendering them useless. Rory leaves the team.

Next, Eliza Werner escapes along with China White and Cupid to collect the late Tobias Church's protection money to control the city. Oliver continues to struggle out on the field as the Green Arrow due to Prometheus revealing the true killer of Billy Malone. Oliver confronts Lieutenant Pike and reveals the cover-up of Malone's death, explaining that Prometheus manipulated the Green Arrow. When the three ladies found the cash, they got into another fight with Team Arrow. The police arrive and, surprisingly, arrest the girls instead of the Green Arrow. It seemed that Pike listened to Oliver and forgave the Green Arrow.

However, Prometheus ups the ante by revealing to the entire city about mayor Oliver Queen covering up the truth about Malone's death, which could lead to Oliver's impeachment.


Black Arrow, meanwhile, was following a lead on Slade Wilson. She headed to an abandoned warehouse all by herself, knowing the Oliver would try to stop her from killing Slade. She walked through the shadows with her bow up, ready to shoot at anyone who might jump out of the shadows.

Suddenly, a voice echoes in the shadows, and it's not Slade's.

"Well, well, you made it."

Coming out of the shadows is Black Siren, a.k.a. Laurel Lance of Earth-2.

"Take one more step and you're dead," threatened Black Arrow.

"I don't have to take another step," said Black Siren.

Four more figures come out of the shadows. They were Helena Bertinelli, Lisa Snart, Linda Park, and Caitlin Snow. Black Arrow kept aiming her arrow back and forth between the five girls.

"Hard to pick, huh?" teased Black Siren.

"This was a set-up. That lead was a fake," guessed Black Arrow.

"Smart girl," replied Killer Frost. "Prometheus sends his greetings."

"Why would he send you girls to do his dirty work?" asked Black Arrow.

"Because he's busy. Even the guy under the mask needs to take a break from all the chaos," said Killer Frost.

"If you're gonna kill me, then don't waste time talking," said Black Arrow.

"Oh we're not gonna kill you," said Black Siren.

"Now, come quietly and we'll only knock you out," said Killer Frost.

"Not a chance," said Black Arrow.

"Girls, you may want to cover your ears," said Black Siren.

"You know that won't work, right?" said Doctor Light.

"I know," said Black Siren.

Black Siren unleashes her sonic scream, knocking back Black Arrow and slamming her to a wall, knocking her out. Earth-2 Laurel's fellow comrades had to recover from bleeding eardrums again.

"Did we have to surround her? You could've taken her out on your own," said Golden Glider to Black Siren.

"Hey, I couldn't risk it," said Black Siren.

Police sirens are heard, heading their way.

"And that's why," said Black Siren.

"We gotta give Prometheus the package now," said Killer Frost.

"But first, I wanna see who she is under that mask," said Black Siren.

"Make it quick. The cops'll be here in 30 seconds," said Golden Glider, looking out the window.

Black Siren looks down at Black Arrow and takes off the mask and hood. She, along with Caitlin and Helena, was shocked at what she found. The Black Arrow was none other than Laurel Lance, the real Laurel Lance.


The next morning, at the Arrow Cave, Team Arrow was crafting a plan on how to save Oliver from being impeached.

Thea started. "Okay, the political front, the plan should be either to deny, deflect, obfuscate..."

"That's just gonna confuse people," said Curtis.

"That's the point," said Thea.

"What if we tell them the truth?" suggested Oliver.

Everyone looks at the mayor.

"A version of the truth," clarified Oliver. "'The Green Arrow is a good guy and I gave him the benefit of the doubt.'"

"Like it worked on Pike?" questioned Roy, thinking it's a bad idea.

Oliver sighs. He takes out his phone and dials a number.

"Who're you calling?" asked Felicity.

"Black Arrow," answered Oliver.

"We're trying to help you not get impeached and you're thinking about going on a date?" questioned Thea.

"Another thing about the woman under the hood is that she's good with politics," said Oliver. "Maybe she can help."

Oliver waits for Laurel to pick up, but she didn't.

"Nothing," said Oliver.

Suddenly, the computers receive a video message. Felicity plays it.

On the screen, everyone can see Black Arrow sitting on a chair, tied up with a piece of cloth keeping her mouth shut. Prometheus appears behind her.

"Hello, Mr. Queen," said Prometheus. "I'm sorry to heard about the impeachment."

"I doubt you feel sorry at all, you son of a gun," said Diggle angrily.

"But I thought it's time for you to come clean about the identity of the Black Arrow," continued Prometheus.

Oliver's muscles tensed with anger. "You lay one finger one her..."

"Please, Mr. Queen, let me finish," interrupted Prometheus.

Prometheus removes the hood and reveals the face of Black Arrow. Everyone (who is not Oliver) who knew her was shocked.

"And in case you think this is a trick..." said Prometheus, giving a signal.

Black Siren shows up on screen. Everyone (who is not Oliver) was more shocked than before.

"Hi, Ollie. It's been a while," greeted Black Siren.

Black Siren looks at her doppleganger in the eye before smacking her across the face, which angers Oliver more.

Black Siren leaves the scene to allow Prometheus to continue.

"See you soon," said Prometheus before ending the call.

Oliver turns to Felicity.

"Tell me you can find the source of the call." His tone tells Felicity that he's the opposite of happy right now.

"Sorry, no luck," said Felicity.

Oliver sighs angrily.

"Laurel is the Black Arrow?!" asked Thea loudly. "The real Laurel? Our Laurel?"

"Yes," answered Oliver.

"And you didn't tell us, why?" asked Thea.

"It wasn't my secret to tell, Thea. It was hers. She didn't want to reveal herself until she's ready to come home," said Oliver.

"Uh, isn't she technically home?" questioned Rene.

"Actually, what I think what he meant by 'home' is coming back to the family," said Curtis.

"I don't get it. How is she alive?" Felicity asked Oliver.

"Talia. She has a Lazarus Pit," answered Oliver.

"That would explain the need to kill," said Thea.

"No, Thea, that was Talia," said Oliver. "I'll explain everything later. Right now, we have more than my impeachment to worry about. Felicity, Curtis, find Laurel. Diggle, stay here just in case there's a crime that needs stopping. Thea, Roy, we need to head to City Hall."

"Uh, but I'm dead," reminded Roy.

"Actually, not anymore," said Oliver. "I had Lyla and A.R.G.U.S. construct a cover story regarding your death in prison. Roy Harper is alive once again."

"But people think I'm the Arrow," said Roy. "Won't Prometheus use me to reveal that you're both the Arrow and the Green Arrow?"

"He won't," said Oliver.

"In that case, I'm gonna have to call Jade," said Roy, taking out his phone.

"Tell her I said hi," said Thea.


Meanwhile, back in Central City, Iris was standing on the roof of a building, looking down at the city with a pair of binoculars.

"Iris, what do we got?" asked Wally, speaking through the comm-link.

"Two vans. Eight low-lives," answered Iris.

"Want me to engage?" asked Wally.

"Not yet," said Iris.

"What exactly are you waiting for?" asked Wally.

Iris looks into her new iPad, which was upgraded with S.T.A.R. Labs tech, which enabled her to access S.T.A.R. Labs satellite to view the map of all of Central City.

"Five seconds," said Iris. "Three... two... one... go!"

All of a sudden, all the thugs underneath are unconscious. Fifteen seconds later, the CCPD shows up.

"Good job, Wally," said Iris.

The two suddenly get calls on their comm-links. It was Cisco.

"Guys, I know you're busy with your brother-sister crime-fighting thing, but Barry and Jesse are gonna need some help. Burning building. 8th Avenue," said Cisco.

Kid Flash runs up the building to get Iris and then runs straight for 8th Avenue.

...

Kid Flash drops Iris off among the crowd before entering the burning building. Inside, Flash and Jesse Quick are extinguishing the fires by creating a wind funnels using their rapidly rotating arms. Kid Flash did the same.

"Help!"

Kid Flash looked at the next room and saw Detective Patterson trapped under flaming rubble.

"Guys, we have a police detective here," called Kid Flash.

Flash and Jesse Quick rescue a couple more citizens before turning their attention to Patterson.

"Open the door. I'll get him," said Jesse Quick.

"No," said Flash. "The structure above the door is on fire. We open it, we risk causing more fire.

"What do we do?" asked Kid Flash.

"Open the door and I'll put out the fires," said Flash. "But we have to time this perfectly."

Kid Flash puts his hand on the door knob.

"Okay, one... two... three..." Barry counted. "Now!"

Kid Flash opens the door very fast. Flash immediately started creating wind funnels to put out the fires inside.

Flash and Jesse Quick help lift the rubble off of Patterson. Kid Flash, meanwhile, saw something in the room. The fire on the floor was forming a shape.

"Thank you, Flash," said Patterson.

"Hey, these guys helped," said Flash, gesturing to his two fellow speedsters.

"I gotta ask. Why the sidekicks? You work fine on your own," questioned Patterson.

"Everyone needs help. Everyone," said Flash.

"And don't call us sidekicks," said Jesse Quick.

The three speedsters leave the scene. Kid Flash scooped up Iris West from the crowd without anyone noticing.

...

Back at S.T.A.R. Labs...

"A star? Are you serious?" Cisco asked Wally.

"I know what I saw," said Wally. "Something tells someone committed arson just to send us a message, and I think I know what it means."

"Star City," said Iris. "It's Caitlin."

"She's just probably just trying to get us out of the city so she can do some damage here without us to stop her," guessed Jesse.

"I don't know. Her plans are more elaborate than that," said Barry.

"Cisco, bring us Star City's latest headlines," said Joe.

"On it," said Cisco.

On the monitors, the team heard about Oliver Queen's impeachment.

"Looks like he's got his hands full," commented Cisco.

"Okay, so Caitlin wants to create some trouble in Star City," recapped HR. "Is there any harm with letting just one of us go there just to check things out?"

"No," said Barry. "No one is leaving for Star City, not if that's what Caitlin wants. We have to wait until Oliver gives us a call."

"Shouldn't we at least warn him?" asked Cisco.

"He already knows Caitlin and Prometheus are working together," said Barry. "Besides, like you said, he's got his hands full."


Back in Star City...

In an abandoned warehouse, Slade Wilson and Jonathan Crane are still discussing on re-creating the Mirakuru.

"I'm telling you, Slade, everything we've stolen, it's not enough," said Crane.

"I know the formula. I know we have everything we need," said Slade.

"It's not about the right ingredients. It's about how to use them," said Crane.

"He's right, you know."

The two men turned their heads and saw someone sitting on a ledge on the ceiling. It was Killer Frost.

"What do you want?" asked Slade. "I thought we agreed never to interfere with each other's plans."

"True, until I heard about your latest dilemma," said Killer Frost, jumping down to the floor. "It just so happens that I'm a former bio-engineer. I can help you with the Mirakuru."

"And even I accept your help, what do you propose?" asked Slade.

"You got the right ingredients, but since they're not consistent with the chemical bond that is needed to make the Mirakuru, you're gonna need something extra," said Caitlin.

"What is that?" asked Slade.

"Cooling," answered Killer Frost.

"She's right," said Crane. "If we can lower the temperature of the serum during processing, it might just help us form a bond that will keep the Mirakuru stable."

Slade smirked.

"Although, I have a question, Mr. Wilson. Why the Mirakuru? Planning on building another army?" asked Killer Frost.

"No," answered Slade. "The Mirakuru is for myself. I have other plans."

"Well, you better speed up those plans because Oliver Queen is still stuck in Prometheus' chess board," said Killer Frost.

"Don't worry. I was trained by ASIS. I can handle Prometheus without the Mirakuru," said Slade.

"Well, good luck, gentleman," said Killer Frost.

She turns around and leaves. Her lips curve into a sinister smirk as she left.


Team Arrow is now fighting a war on two fronts once again. They have to handle Oliver's impeachment and find Laurel. Felicity secretly went to Helix to ask for their help, but they refused unless she does them a favor. They needed her to hack a homeland security drone.

At the impeachment hearing, things look bleak for Oliver. First, the woman who filed a fake autopsy report about Malone confessed that Adrian Chase ordered her to cover-up the truth because the mayor approved it. Pike was beginning to once again doubt the Green Arrow's good intentions due to Oliver's secrets.

After the hearing, Oliver, Thea, and Roy had to go through a sea of cameras and reporters to get to their limo.

"Okay, that was the fourth scariest moment of my life," said Roy.

"A presumed-dead vigilante showing himself to the public is the fourth scariest moment of your life?" questioned Thea.

"Trust me. There are scarier things than this," said Roy.

"Okay, I have a very political idea," said Thea.

"What's that?" asked Oliver.

Thea answers. "Like Adrian said, the council needs someone's meat thrown to the wolves, and I think it should be Malone's."

"Thea," scolded Oliver.

"Half the SCPD is corrupt so it's not hard to believe," said Thea. "And he's no longer with us so he wouldn't really mind. That way, the cover-up is no longer about the Green Arrow. It becomes about protecting Malone's reputation for the sake of his family."

"You're gonna destroy his reputation. No," said Oliver.

Thea tried to argue. "Look, Ollie..."

"It's not even a question," interrupted Oliver, dismissing his sister's suggestion.

"I don't know about you, but something about that councilman creeps me out," said Roy.

"Roy," scolded Oliver.

"We've spent these past few years hiding in masks. I think I can tell when a guy is wearing one," said Roy.

"Are you saying that Councilman Collins is deliberately trying to have me impeached?" asked Oliver.

"Maybe," said Roy. "Wouldn't surprise me if he was."

The limo heads into a tunnel. Inside the tunnel is Vigilante, holding up an assault rifle. The second he saw the limo coming, he started firing. The driver tried driving faster, but the bullets kept on coming. The engines of the limo explode, flipping the limo in the air and causing it to crash.

"My target is the mayor and his corruption! He surrenders, I let the rest of you live," said Vigilante.

Oliver, Thea, and Roy get out through the door that is not facing Vigilante.

"Roy, get the driver," said Oliver.

While Roy checks on the driver, Thea comes out from behind the limo and engages Vigilante. She unleashes a series of high kicks. Vigilante blocks almost all of them, but gets a hard one to the face. His head collides with a car window, causing a piece of his visor to fall off. Thea puts the arm around Vigilante and tried to choke him to unconsciousness, but Vigilante flips her and throws her down. Roy comes out and unleashes some big hits, but Vigilante manages to kick him. Just as Roy was about to get up, Vigilante throws a projectile, tangling Roy's arms and legs in ropes.

Oliver decides to finally come out.

"You want me! Come on!" dared Oliver.

Vigilante takes out his gun and fires, but Oliver dodges every bullet and hides behind the limo again. Before the fight can go on, police cars show up.

"Lucky you. You get one more day," said Vigilante before leaving the scene.

...

Policemen and paramedics arrive at the scene. A paramedic was treating Oliver's head wound, but he refused. After telling the paramedic to leave, Roy approaches Oliver.

"The driver took a hit on the shoulder and a bump on the head, but he's fine," said Roy. "And before you ask, he didn't see you go all Bruce Lee on that guy."

"Where's Thea?" asked Oliver.

"Looking for something on the ground, something that can give us a lead on Vigilante," said Roy.

"Isn't that the police's job?" questioned Oliver.

"Well, we don't have exactly have an officer with us, especially since Quentin is still in rehab," said Roy.

Oliver started to feel the effects of his head wound catch up.

"You know there's a concussion protocol, right?" said Adrian, approaching the mayor.

"Yup, so I've heard," said Oliver sarcastically.

"This was Vigilante?" asked Adrian.

"Yeah, apparently, because of the impeachment hearing, I am now a criminal," said Oliver.

Adrian looks at the young man next to him. "Mr. Harper."

"Hey," greeted Roy.

"Got to say. Everyone in Star City's surprised to see you," said Adrian. "Especially since they know that you're the one who put an arrow in the mayor two years ago."

"Adrian," scolded Oliver.

"That's okay. I deserve it," said Roy, pretending that he was responsible even though he's not.

"You sure you aren't the man behind the hood again?" questioned Adrian.

"I've seen the Green Arrow. He sports facial hair, and as you can see, I'm not," said Roy.

Roy leaves to check on Thea, leaving Adrian with Oliver.

"Hey, make sure to keep this matter out of the court," said Adrian. "Trust me, you don't want them snapping shots of you in an ambulance."

"Look, you don't know this, but I'm tougher than I look," said Oliver. "I'm gonna head back to the office."

"Yeah, I've heard that before," replied Adrian. "Hey, look, while under the threat of impeachment, you can't exactly amend by law, so that concussion protocol, yeah, it's a thing."

Thea approaches Oliver and Chase. "That's okay, Ollie. I'm gonna call the office and tell them that we're working overtime. Plus, I'm never getting into a limo with you again."


Thea stayed at the crime scene to look for something, while Spartan and Wild Dog track down Vigilante. The latter two returned to Arrow Cave after a few hours of interrogating low-lives in the Glades.

"Found anything?" asked Felicity.

"Nadda," replied Rene. "Peeps on the street are more afraid of Vigilante than us."

"What about you?" Diggle asked Felicity.

"Vigilante changes artillery every week. Every lead goes cold," said Felicity. "We could use a break right about now."

An incoming call comes in. It was Thea.

"I think I got something," said Thea.

"I totally manifested that," muttered Felicity sarcastically. "What do you got?"

"When I slammed Vigilante to a car window, I knocked off a small piece of his visor," said Thea. "It looks like it's lined with some kind of circuitry."

"That means it's totally manufactured," said Felicity. "Maybe I can link it back to wherever it came from."

"I think I can do better," interrupted Curtis. "My T-Spheres can actually track the tech to the individual user."

"Except they won't be ready until the iPhone 16 is released," said Rene skeptically, doubting Curtis' inventions.

"Have little faith," said Curtis.

"What's a T-Sphere?" asked Thea.

"Curtis' balls," answered Rene bluntly.

Felicity and Diggle didn't know the correct reaction to Rene, whether he's being serious or if it's a joke.

"They're my personal inventions," said Curtis. "I realize that quantum computation can be used..."

"Forget I asked," said Thea. "I'll bring you guys the visor, okay?"

"Copy that. We'll be here." Felicity hangs up and looks at Curtis. "Curtis, this is on you now."

...

At the scene of the crime, Adrian approaches Thea.

"Personal call?" asked Adrian.

"Yeah, it's an emergency, involving a friend," said Thea.

"Hey, uh, why don't I log that in for you, so you can handle your emergency?" suggested Adrian, noticing the shard in Thea's hand. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of it."

Adrian gently takes the piece away from Thea before leaving.


Back at the abandoned building where Laurel is being held, Prometheus pays her a visit.

"You son of a gun," insulted Laurel. "When I get out of these restraints, I'm gonna kill you."

"You can't. Even if you can get out of those ropes, your need a key to open the cuffs. The chains are made of light steel." said Prometheus. "Let me ask you a question. Why did Talia al Ghul bring you back? I may not know the reason, but she despises Oliver Queen."

"To pay her final debt to Oliver," answered Laurel. "That way, she owes him nothing."

"How does it feel?" asked Prometheus. "The Black Canary is no murderer. But the Black Arrow kills without hesitation."

"I'm not the same Laurel Lance he knew," said Laurel.

"You haven't answered my question. How does it feel to take a life?" asked Prometheus.

Laurel hesitated to answer.

"Be that way if you wish. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to," said Prometheus.


Meanwhile, Vigilante was out on his usual nightly patrols to hunt down criminals. He was currently on top of a building with his assault rifle ready to fire. He felt someone watching him. He turns around and catches a throwing star before it hits his face. It came from Prometheus.

"Oliver Queen is mine," said Prometheus.

"Not if I kill him first," said Vigilante.

Vigilante started firing. Prometheus dodges the bullets and hid in the shadows. Vigilante searched for him.

"You have good marksmanship. I can appreciate that."

Vigilante turns around at the sound of the voice. It belonged to Slade Wilson, dressed in Deathstroke suit.

"Heard you were back in town," said Vigilante.

Prometheus sneaks up behind Vigilante, but the latter reacted quickly. The archer and the hitman traded punches and kicks. They were evenly matched. Prometheus grabs Vigilante's arm, but Vigilante flips Prometheus to the ground.

"Oliver Queen is my kill!" yelled Deathstroke. "And you two are not getting in my way!"

"Well, this should be fun," said Vigilante, ready. "What's say we settle this like men? No guns. No swords. No throwing stars."

"I like it," said Deathstroke.

"Nothing wrong with testing your mettle," said Prometheus.

And so, a three-way battle begins. Deathstroke, Prometheus, and Vigilante fought using their fists and pure skills. Deathstroke fought with tenacity and brute strength, Prometheus relied on his quickness and skill, and Vigilante used all his ferocity on his punches and kicks. Deathstroke kicks Vigilante down and then unleashes a combo attack on Prometheus, kicking him to a wall.

"Isn't it funny how the District Attorneys in this city all wear masks," commented Deathstroke.

"And isn't it funny that everyone from Oliver Queen's past comes back to haunt him," replied Prometheus.

Vigilante get back up and rushes towards Deathstroke. Deathstroke spins and then kicks Vigilante towards Prometheus, who punches Vigilante before they collided. Vigilante fought Deathstroke and Prometheus simultaneously. Vigilante knocks down Deathstroke with a roundhouse kick and then follows it by blocking Prometheus' punch.

Prometheus and Vigilante exchanged blows, until Prometheus overpowers Vigilante with swift strike. He puts his hand around Vigilante's neck and pushes him off the roof. He looks down, but Vigilante wasn't on the ground lying dead. He got away.

"Didn't hear the crash," said Deathstroke. "For a common street thug, he's got skill and persistence."

"Agreed," said Prometheus.

"Let's finish this," said Deathstroke, taking out his sword.

"Before we do, there is something you may wish to know," said Prometheus. "A meta-human named Killer Frost came to you this morning, am I correct?"

"How did you know that?" asked Deathstroke.

"Because she told me," said Prometheus. "She mocked your stupidity. Don't you see it? We're both just pawns in her game."

"If I'm just a pawn on her chessboard, then why would she help me with the Mirakuru?" asked Deathstroke.

"Her intentions are mysterious, indeed," said Prometheus. "But this fight between us will resolve nothing."

Deathstroke puts his sword back in his scabbard.

"Very well," said Deathstroke. "You live today, but once I'm done with Dr. Snow, I'm coming for you."

"And I look forward to it," said Prometheus.

As soon as Deathstroke left, Prometheus takes off his mask and makes a phone call.

"I'd like to report a sighting of Vigilante," he said. "This is District Attorney Adrian Chase."


The following day, Oliver plans to gives a speech to the public. Thea was planning on blackmailing Councilman Collins since he's in charge of the impeachment vote. Oliver decides against this and lectures Thea. Chase has been offering to take the fall for the cover-up, but Oliver decided against it as well. Felicity finishes the hacking for Helix and they help her look for Laurel. Thea manages to steal back the piece of Vigilante's visor from Chase and let Curtis use his T-Spheres to locate Vigilante. To everyone's surprise, they work.

At the night of Oliver's speech, he disavows the Green Arrow as a "cop killer" and confesses that the reason he covered this up is because he didn't want the people to lose hope. Across the building from City Hall, Vigilante prepared to shoot Oliver, but Spartan, Arsenal, Wild Dog, and Mr. Terrific intervened. Curtis proves the effectiveness of his T-Spheres by humiliating Vigilante twice, blowing him up non-lethally, twice. Vigilante escapes, but Oliver was still alive.

Afterwards, Felicity tells everyone where Laurel is being held.


Later that same evening, Green Arrow, Speedy, Arsenal, Spartan, Wild Dog, and Mr. Terrific arrive at an abandoned building outside Star City.

"This is where Prometheus is holding Laurel Lance?" asked Wild Dog.

"At least he was when he shot that video," replied Overwatch. "I'm reading a few dozen heat signatures inside."

"Prometheus brought back-up?" wondered Arsenal.

"He's always using decoys," replied Speedy.

"Prometheus works alone," said Green Arrow.

"Problem is Laurel could be any one of those heat signatures," said Overwatch.

"We split up. Canvas floor by floor," suggested Spartan.

"Agreed," approved Green Arrow.

Oliver and his comrades heat inside.

...

Team Arrow splits into two teams. Speedy and Mr. Terrific go along with Green Arrow, while Spartan and Wild Dog back up Arsenal.

Arsenal, Spartan and Wild Dog stop at a door. Arsenal kicks the door open.

"Next time, I get to kick the door," said Wild Dog.

"Whatever floats your root beer, Wild-y," replied Arsenal sarcastically.

The three check the closet inside the room. There was an explosive. It goes off.

...

"What was that?" asked Green Arrow, having heard the explosion.

"Some kind of explosion," answered Overwatch. "Roy, Rene, Dig, you copy?"

...

"We copy," said Wild Dog.

"Guys, we're trapped," said Arsenal.

The explosion caused the rubble to block the door.

...

Green Arrow looks at Speedy and Mr. Terrific. "You two, find Roy, Diggle, and Rene and get them out of here before this whole place comes down. I'm gonna find Laurel."

"Assuming that she's here," said Mr. Terrific.

Green Arrow glares at Mr. Terrific. Speedy hit the latter in the arm.

"Now, that was just mean," said Mr. Terrific.

Speedy and Mr. Terrific head off to find the others.

...

Green Arrow kept on walking through the halls. The elevator doors open. He looks inside. Laurel was still tied to a chair.

"Hey," greeted Laurel casually.

"Hey," greeted Oliver.

"Wondering why I'm haven't escapes?" questioned Laurel.

"With Talia's training, I'm pretty sure you get out of those ropes,"

Oliver unties Laurel. He saw her cuffs.

"Steel chains," he realized. "Would be nice to have Supergirl here."

"But you have a metal arm," reminded Laurel.

Oliver uses his cybernetic arm to rip the chains off, freeing Laurel.

"Go find the others," said Oliver.

"What about you?" asked Laurel.

"I'm going to end this once and for all," said Oliver.

"Not without me, you're not," said Laurel.

"But you don't have your arrows," said Oliver.

"No, but I have something else special," said Laurel, putting her mask and hood back on.

...

Meanwhile, Curtis uses his T-spheres to free Arsenal, Spartan, and Wild Dog.

...

Green Arrow and Black Arrow reach the last door on the top floor. It was locked.

"Stand back," said Black Arrow.

Green Arrow did as she said. Black Arrow opens her mouth and, to Oliver's surprise, unleashes a sonic scream that rips the door off its hinges.

"How?" asked Green Arrow.

"Amnesia wasn't the only side effect of Talia's Lazarus Pit," explained Black Arrow.

"And you never used it before because it would attract suspicion," guessed Green Arrow.

The two head inside, but Prometheus wasn't inside. Instead, it was Killer Frost, digging blood out of her ear due to Laurel's cry.

"Hello, Laurel," said Killer Frost.

"Caitlin," muttered Black Arrow angrily.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but Prometheus isn't here," said Killer Frost.

"Where is he?" demanded Green Arrow.

"It doesn't matter where he is," said Killer Frost.

"Why, Caitlin? Why would you side with him?" asked Black Arrow.

"I'm not," said Killer Frost. "He's just a pawn on my board, and he knows it, but he doesn't know that I know."

"And why tell us this when you know we can rat you out?" questioned Green Arrow.

"Because I don't care if he knows or not," said Killer Frost.

"What game are you playing, Caitlin?" asked Black Arrow.

"That's a need-to-know," said Killer Frost. "I'm impressed you've come this far, so as a reward, I will provide you with some helpful information. Prometheus' identity."

"You know?" asked Green Arrow.

Killer Frost nods.

"He calls himself Adrian Chase," said Killer Frost.

The look on Green Arrow's face tells him that he's shocked.

"Shocking, isn't it?" said Killer Frost. "The man who helped free your best friend from custody is the same man who kills people with throwing stars."

"You do realize that the bombs all over this place will blow us all to hell?" pointed out Black Arrow.

"That's why I have this," said Killer Frost, holding up a switch.

She pushes the button and deactivates all the bombs in the building.

Green Arrow aims an arrow at Killer Frost and says, "You're coming with us."

"Go ahead. Fire that arrow," dared Killer Frost. "Or better yet, don't. I'm sure Barry will be upset that a friend of his killed another friend of his."

While Green Arrow struggles with the decision on whether to fire or not, Killer Frost immediately covers the room with freezing smoke, blinding both archers, allowing her to escape.

That's it for now. This is like a combination of Arrow episodes 5x15 and 5x16. If you've been following Arrow, I'd like to point out that I'm moving the plot of Arrow 5x17 to another chapter. I hope this was a nice new spin. Leave a review and tell me what you think.
