"Any signs of White or Jade?" Oliver asked Natasha as they were in the Verdant lounge, talking.

"Bobbi is looking for them. China White and Jade have been laying low." Natasha said as they drank as she saw the look on Oliver's face before Tommy entered with boxes of beverage, stocking them at the bar.

"Are you OK, Tommy?" Oliver asked.

"Just concussed but I'll be fine. Dad's gonna recover soon." Tommy said. "I appreciate the concern."

"You're lucky the vigilante saved your life." Natasha said.

"I am. Maybe I should've listened to him." Tommy said. "It just… put some things about my Dad into a perspective."

"So, you two are back to speaking terms after twenty years?" Oliver asked.

"We're trying." Tommy explained as Oliver nodded.


The Glades

A young girl ran down the Glades, as if she was running for her life until a karambit knife hit her in the leg. The girl crawled back before China White approached her and slit her throat.


Verdant

"Oliver." Natasha said as Oliver turned to the TV, seeing the footage of the girl murdered by China White.

"The CCTV camera ID'd the woman as Emily Nocenti, daughter of Victor Nocenti, who was about to testify against Martin Sommers, who had been apprehended by the Starling City's vigilante few months ago." Bethany Snow announced on the news as Oliver and Natasha glared.

"Tommy, can you take care of the club tonight? I just remembered something." Oliver said.

Tommy nodded, confused though as Oliver left and Natasha followed him a moment later.


The Glades

"China White's back and she's finishing up her business." The Hood said.

"Oliver, don't you think she's trying to draw you out? Targeting Nocenti's daughter was most likely a message to you." Natasha pointed out as they were on the rooftop.

"Either way, I need to find her." Oliver said.

"We should be careful though." Natasha said.

"She's trying to target all the people I have helped." Oliver said. "Who's most likely the next person she would target?"

"We've been keeping an eye on your family and Laurel and Tommy. I doubt she would go after them." Natasha said. "So, who have you helped recently?"

Oliver considered before remembering.


Peter Declan was in his apartment but gasped upon seeing an Asian woman in green kimono.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Declan asked.

"I'm just here to send a message." Jade said as she stabbed Declan in the abdomen. Declan gasped in pain as he fell down, poison entering his system as he was struggling for breath.

Jade went out and rushed on the rooftop before the Hood tackled her to the ground.

"What did you do?" Oliver demanded as Jade laughed.

"I knew you wouldn't resist, if I went after those you have helped in the past, Oliver." Jade said. "Nothing but a good old-fashioned payback."

"I'll make sure you'll pay for what you did." Oliver snarled.

"Not likely." Jade said before she pushed him back as Chen Wu and his men appeared. "Kill him."

Chen Wu pulled out a baton as Oliver blocked it with his bow. They exchanged strikes before Oliver jumped back as Jade attacked with her claws and Chen Wu's men attacked with their knives, axes and swords. Oliver fired arrows, shooting down the thugs but jumped back as Jade scratched his hood but did not touch the flesh as Oliver tried to avoid the poison-laced claws.


"Hang on, you'll be fine." Natasha said, dragging Declan out before she faced China White in an alley.

"The Black Widow. I should've known." White said, pulling out her knives. "I came here to take out the vigilante but you'll be a nice bonus."

"Just try." Natasha taunted.

White attacked with her knives but Natasha managed to block them as they exchanged blows. White aimed at Natasha's head but Natasha dodged and delivered a right hook to White's face before kicking her back. White scratched Natasha's wrist before Natasha disarmed her of one of the knives and elbowed her in the face.


Oliver took cover at the stairwell as he kicked down more of White's men as Chen Wu pulled out a gun and fired. Oliver fired at the chandelier above as Chen Wu dodged and it crushed more of White's men.

Jade and Chen Wu jumped down as they attacked Oliver from both sides. Oliver blocked Jade's claws with his bow and kicked Wu back. Oliver dodged Wu's punch and hit Jade in the stomach as she staggered. Oliver hit Wu in the face but Wu grabbed Oliver by his arm and kicked him in the leg as Oliver fell down. Before Jade could deliver the final blow, Oliver blocked her claws with his bow before hitting her in the legs. Wu grabbed Oliver from behind but Oliver kicked the wall as he and Wu fell off the railing to the lobby as they crashed, the combined weight crushing Wu and breaking his back as he groaned and let Oliver go and Oliver got up.

More of the Triad's men appeared but Oliver fired an explosive arrow, knocking them down.


Natasha dodged as White scratched her across her cheek before Natasha jumped and kicked her in the face as White was knocked down.

"Who hired you? Tell me!" Natasha demanded as she neared White's blade to her neck.

They heard sirens blare as White smirked.

"Not today." White said as Natasha was forced to let her go as they both ran off, while Oliver fired a flashbang arrow, blinding the policemen, who had entered as Oliver escaped.


Later, the Foundry

"White and Jade are trying to settle old scores." Oliver said.

"And they're targeting the people you helped." Bobbi nodded. "I called Fury, to see if he can arrange a protective custody for them."

"Thanks." Oliver said.

"We'll see if there are any contacts with the Triad, maybe we'll find out who hired the men who were supposed to kill Malcolm." Natasha promised.


Chinatown

"Now S.H.I.E.L.D. is protecting them." Jade said as she met White in an alley. "What next?"

"We'll have our revenge, Jade." White promised, twirling her knife. "Until next time, Oliver."


Verdant

Natasha was with Oliver at the bar, talking before she saw the photo of a young man at the bar as she turned to Tommy.

"Tommy." Natasha asked as Tommy turned to her. "Who is that kid?"

"Oh. That's a friend of Thea's. She asked me to help him get a job here but the kid hasn't shown up. His name is Roy Harper." Tommy said and Natasha's eyes narrowed as she looked at the photo.


Five years ago

Bobbi, Natasha and Clint were sparring in the training facility of S.H.I.E.L.D. before they saw a man around 30 years old at the shooting range, shooting targets with quite good precision.

"He's got as good score as Ward and you." Natasha told Bobbi. "Who is he?"

"A new recruit. Former U.S. Special Forces. Roy Harper Sr." Bobbi said as Natasha narrowed her eyes.


Didn't expect that, did you? I have something planned for Roy here.

So, what do you guys think?
