"You got enough ammo, Frank?" Oliver asked.
"We're about to find out, Queen." Frank said dryly. "What do you need an RPG for, anyway?"
"Chase has Talia, an army of her students, Maki Matsumoto, Lady Deathstrike, Lonnie Machin, Carrie Cutter, Jade Nguyen, Liza Warner, Mary Walker, Yelena Belova, the Longbow Hunters, Slade's son and the Jackals, Bullseye and who knows who else. I have no interest in this being a fair fight." Oliver said.
Suddenly, Matt heard something. "Incoming!"
They saw an RPG sail through the air as it blew up the plane on which they landed on Lian Yu.
"Well, it looks like Chase isn't interested in this being a fair fight either." Steve noted.
"Assholes are always gonna fight dirty." Jessica said.
"Language." Logan cracked and Steve rolled his eyes.
"One time. Just one time…" Steve muttered as everyone chuckled.
They went down the forest after searching the RPG site.
"The metahuman's name is Dinah Drake." Oliver read the profile sent by Flag. "She was a former CCPD cop but went underground after the particle accelerator explosion. She went undercover into a criminal organization led by one Sean Sonus until her partner got killed. From what Rick pieced together, she has an ability to unleash a sonic cry and killed several of Sonus's men before ending him."
"Nothing more dangerous than a pissed off meta out for blood." Logan said as they nodded before he and Matt sniffed something.
"I smell explosives." Matt said. "All over the island."
"Well, someone's been busy." Roy drawled.
"Why hasn't Chase set them off?" Sara wondered.
"He said he wanted me to kill him." Oliver said as it hit him. "Chase must have linked the bombs to a dead man's switch."
"He dies, everyone on the island dies." Frank realized. "That little shit is crazier than I thought."
Matt then sensed something else. "I think I sense… Tommy. Laurel. Moira, Thea and Lian and Alex. And someone else."
They went down the forest and neared the cages, which used to be Fyers's as the prisoners shit up and looked at Oliver and Sara.
"Ollie!" Tommy and Thea exclaimed, with Thea holding Lian in her arms.
"Roy!" Thea cried out, holding Lian in her arms.
"Sara…" Laurel whispered.
"Quiet!" Matt cautioned as Oliver neared Samantha.
"Where's William?" Oliver asked.
"I don't know. We were separated. Oliver, what is going on?" Samantha demanded, confused.
"This seems too easy." Steve noted.
And on cue, Ward, Mary and Talia appeared, with Ward and Mary aiming guns, while Talia aimed an arrow at Samantha.
"Don't even think it, Oliver… or your son loses his mother." Talia said, aiming at Samantha.
"I think we can agree that the odds aren't working in your favor, Queen." Ward smirked. "Drop your weapons. All of you. Now."
They considered but the next thing anyone else knew, Steve picked his shield and threw it, ricocheting it off Ward, who was knocked down. Talia fired at Samantha but Oliver threw a fletchette as both projectiles bounced off. Mary attacked with her machetes but Sara held her own, using her batons before knocking Mary down. Ward had gotten up in the meantime as he was about to shoot them.
"Sister!"
Talia, Ward and Mary turned around to see Nyssa, Steele and Frank aiming at them. Talia considered briefly before she dropped a smoke bomb as her and Ward disappeared in the explosion.
Oliver let Tommy, Laurel, Moira and Thea out, while Mary was locked up in the cage. "You chose the wrong side this time, Walker. Or is it 'Mary'? Who am I talking to now?"
"It was a job, Queen. Nothing personal." Mary said indifferently.
"Where is the rest?" Matt asked as Thea hugged Roy tightly.
"I don't know. They split us up." Tommy said as Oliver turned to Mary.
"Where are they?" Oliver demanded.
"I have no idea." Mary said. "I did a job, I got paid, I followed orders, I didn't ask. I can't tell you what I don't know."
"She's not lying." Matt said.
"But for all you know, he wanted you to catch me. Hook, line and sinker for every little stinker. How do you know you're not doing what Chase wants, again?" Mary smirked.
Oliver sighed before turning to the rest. "How did Chase get you here?"
"By a plane." Moira said.
"I can fly it. I'll accompany them and get them out of here." Steele offered.
"John, get them to safety. Fly them to the mainland, then get back to us." Steve ordered.
"On it, Cap." Steele nodded.
"I'm coming with them." Roy said as he left with Tommy, Laurel, Moira, Thea, Lian, Alex and Samantha.
"My sister and Mr. Ward fled into the forest but I can track them." Nyssa said.
"Why are you doing this, Dinah?" Quentin asked as Dinah turned to him, smirking as she was with the Jackals dragging him and Diggle in chains. "Yeah, I've read about you from CCPD. You're Dinah Drake. Former undercover cop. I'm guessing you got powers from the particle accelerator explosion. Don't you have any regrets?"
"None. I feel more myself now than I ever did as a cop. Chase gave me that. And I don't owe you or Oliver Queen anything, certainly not an explanation." Dinah said coldly as she turned and led them down a flight of stairs.
Dinah led them into a room where Lyla, Rene, Ray, Anna, Rory, Danny, Colleen and Natasha were chained to the floor, trying to get out of the chains. When they saw them, the group jumped to their feet.
"Johnny!" Lyla exclaimed.
"Lyla, thank God." Diggle said as part of the pit in his stomach loosened.
"OK, calm down." Dinah said and they all glared at her. "You all are gonna have plenty of time to catch up. See you later."
With a smirk, Dinah turned and walked up the stairs.
"Have you seen Alex?" Lyla asked desperately and was hit with despair when Diggle and Quentin shook their heads.
"No, haven't seen him." Quentin said regretfully.
"Don't worry, Oliver will find us, get us all out of this." Diggle said with faith and Quentin scoffed.
"Yeah? What makes you think he even knows where we are?" Quentin asked and Diggle couldn't answer.
"They'll figure something out." Natasha said.
"Would you mind filling me in?" Steve asked as he and Oliver and the rest walked down the island. "Why does Chase have it out for you, Oliver?"
Oliver sighed. "My past is coming back to haunt me."
"Something that happens quite often with you, from what I gather." Steve pointed out.
"I don't know why." Oliver admitted.
"Well, as a fellow soldier, I think I can answer that question. It's survivor's guilt. You can't get over your father's suicide." Steve said.
"Adrian Chase has nothing to do with my father." Oliver protested.
"Oliver, if there's something I know for certain about you, everything has to do with your father. Just like with me and mine." Matt said. "You and I both know I'm right. You're blaming yourself for your father's suicide and everything wrong that has gone since then. Just like I did. But you… Nat… you made me realize that I need to forgive myself and let it go. And that's exactly what you need to do. You need to forgive yourself for your sins."
"You say it like it's easy." Oliver scoffed.
"No. It's not. It's actually the hardest thing you'll ever have to do in your life." Matt said and Oliver considered. Deep down he knew that Matt and Steve had a point but right now wasn't the time to think about it.
Steele and Roy were accompanying Tommy, Laurel, Moira, Thea, Lian, Alex and Samantha to the plane as Samantha turned to Steele curiously. "Why aren't you up with them?"
"Why, so that you could make a run for it and look for your kid?" Steele drawled and Samantha tensed and he snorted, shaking his head at how foolish she was. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Queen figured you might try something stupid like looking for your son."
"I can't abandon him." Samantha said.
"I understand how you feel, Samantha but you need to trust that Oliver is going to find him. It's dangerous to go out there." Moira said.
"And besides, I'd like to see you get past me, if you try to run. I doubt you'd make it very far." Steele said and Samantha could feel herself deflate, knowing that she would not win the argument before they heard 'click' as they all froze.
"Thea? Are you alright?" Moira asked.
"No, she's not." Roy said, horrified as he looked at Thea's feet.
"She just activated a landmine." Steele said. "Give her the kid." He glanced at Moira as Thea handed Alex to her. "Everyone get back and you don't move." They did as ordered as Steele examined the landmine. "It's rusted over, I can't disarm it. Thea, on count of 'three', take your foot off the mine. I'm gonna take your place."
"Can't we just find a boulder—" Tommy tried to protest.
"We don't have time for that! Just trust me, OK? I can survive this! Do you trust me?" Steele turned to Thea, who nodded hesitantly. "One 'three'. One. Two. Three."
Steele pushed Thea off the mine, taking her place as everyone tensed.
"Uh, we've got company." Roy said, spotting Warner and a small group of Talia's students and the Jackals.
"Run. All of you! Get out of here!" Steele ordered as they ran off before Warner, Talia's students and the Jackals neared him.
"Why did they leave you behind?" Warner wondered.
"Let me show you." Steele smirked. The others were making a run for it before they heard an explosion behind them. A few moments later, Steele caught up with them with burned clothes but relatively fine. "That hurt."
"Seems like a lifetime ago." Sara said as they saw the monastery.
"For Slade and Shado it sure was." Oliver nodded.
"No time for nostalgia. I know where they're going." Nyssa said as she handed Oliver the binoculars and he eyed the monastery.
Soon enough they entered the monastery and looked around.
"Do either of you know anything about this place that would give us a tactical advantage?" Nyssa inquired.
"I've seen it only one time and that was from a distance." Oliver said.
"I think we should split up. That way we can find our enemies and friends faster." Nyssa said.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea." Steve protested.
"Go, Cap, we'll be fine." Oliver assured.
Steve, Logan, Jessica, Luke and Frank walked off.
"I don't like this." Sara said.
"Me neither." Oliver admitted, sighing.
"Let's do this?" Nyssa asked.
"Let's." Oliver said before Nyssa punched him, Sara and Matt, knocking them out as Dinah, Ward and Joe entered with Talia's students and Nyssa smirked at them.
"I'd like to make a trade with Mr. Chase. Oliver Queen for meeting your teacher. Does that sound fair?" Nyssa asked. A few moments later, Talia entered. "We have an unfinished business… sister."
Talia stared and considered. "I heard you gave up the ring of the Demon's Head. What a foolish woman you've grown into."
"I'm done being father's prisoner." Nyssa said. "It was you leaving us that made me realize that."
"Our father never would have passed his mantle onto a woman. I had to forge my own path." Talia said.
"So did I." Nyssa said. "Our paths diverged long ago, sister. Perhaps it's time they intertwined again."
Talia considered.
Few moments later, Oliver, Sara and Matt were in chains brought to Diggle, Quentin, Lyla, Rene, Ray, Anna, Rory, Danny, Colleen and Natasha.
"Matt…" Natasha breathed out.
"Oliver…" Diggle whispered.
"Baby girl…" Quentin whispered.
"Nothing personal, beloved." Nyssa said unrepentantly.
"Why?" Sara demanded.
Nyssa was silent as she walked away with Talia.
"Master. Someone wishes to speak with you." One of the students said as Talia faced Nyssa.
"You've sided with our father's murderer and now you wish to talk?" Talia asked skeptically.
"It was the only way I could get close to you again, sister. You left me, remember? When I heard you were back, I realized that the only way to get close to you, was through Oliver Queen." Nyssa said.
"If I wanted a family reunion, I would have given you an invite." Talia sneered, reaching for a sword.
"Perhaps you have. You just don't know it yet." Nyssa neared her. "I've traveled halfway across the world to find you and I won't let anyone get in my way because I have nothing left to lose, only you. What happens next is entirely up to you."
There was a tense moment, when even Nyssa was uncertain what would Talia do. After a moment of consideration, she gave in. "You've made some good points… but how can I trust you?"
"Trust is built upon honesty. We have a lot of catching up to do. What do you say?" Nyssa asked.
After a moment, Talia nodded. "I suppose we have some catching up to do."
"Oliver, where's our daughter?" Lyla demanded.
"She's safe. Don't worry. Have you seen my son?" Oliver demanded.
"William? Chase took him too?" Diggle demanded.
Oliver nodded. "He's somewhere on this island and we need to find him!"
"That's it." Tommy said as they neared the plane.
"Yeah, I think I can fly us out of here in that thing." Steele said.
"No." Thea said.
"Gee, thanks." Steele drawled.
"No, it's not that." Thea said as Roy dug out some device.
"Are those antennas?" Samantha asked.
"Yup and that's C4." Thea nodded.
"This whole island is rigged with explosives. There's no way we can defuse all of them." Steele said.
"What kind of a maniac rigs a whole island with bombs?" Tommy demanded, realizing how insane Adrian was.
"All right, let's get out of here." Oliver said as he got up and freed himself from the shackles. "No electricity this time." He then lockpicked the restraints of the rest before handing Ray the miniaturized Atom suit and Rory his Ragman suit.
"Oh, yes!" Ray exclaimed in excitement as Rory smirked.
Talia and Nyssa suddenly heard a blast as Talia glared at Nyssa. "Traitor!"
"I stand with my friends." Nyssa said.
"You ally yourself with our father's murderer? He would be ashamed of you." Talia glared.
"Father was always ashamed of me." Nyssa countered as Talia's students pulled out their weapons.
"No." Talia ordered. "Do not interfere."
Talia and Nyssa put down their bows and pulled out their swords before rushing at each other. Nyssa blocked Talia's attack, while Talia dodged Nyssa's strike. They both appeared to be evenly matched as they exchanged strikes. Talia dodged Nyssa's kick and blocked Nyssa's strike again before Nyssa landed a punch at her face and kicked her in the leg as Talia fell down.
Talia's students drew their swords before Frank entered, shooting down the students, while Steve, Logan, Jessica and Luke took out the Jackals.
Nyssa neared the blade to Talia's throat.
"Do it." Talia urged. "Father would've wanted you too."
Nyssa considered before knocking Talia out.
"Where's Chase?" Frank demanded as he stepped onto the chest of the surviving Jackal.
"Even if I did know, I'd die before telling you." The Jackal sneered.
"Fair enough." Frank shot the Jackal in the head.
"You're late." Nyssa noted.
"But they're not." Steve said as Oliver, Sara and Matt were in chains brought to Diggle, Quentin, Lyla, Rene, Rory, Danny, Colleen and Natasha entered, while Ray decided to accompany Anna to safety.
"She was only pretending to screw with you?" Diggle realized.
"We needed a way to get them to lower their guard. Have you seen my son?" Oliver asked.
"Wherever he is, Mr. Chase kept it on need-to-know basis." Nyssa said as Frank turned to knocked out Talia.
"You didn't kill her?" Frank asked as he turned to Nyssa.
"I wanted to… but I couldn't bring myself to. Perhaps that makes me weak." Nyssa murmured.
"No. You'd be doing what Ra's wants from you and you said you didn't want to be your father's prisoner anymore." Sara said and Nyssa nodded.
"You shouldn't have to have family on your hands." Frank noted. "Good thing I'm not family." He aimed at Talia's head, her skull bursting open as blood spattered on the ground and everyone groaned at the sight.
"Have you seen my son?" Oliver asked.
Nyssa shook her head. "I've looked. He's not in the monastery. And if she knew, Talia wouldn't tell me."
After recovering their weapons, they went deeper into the monastery, looking around.
"We find Chase, we find my son." Oliver said.
"Not so sure about that, Hoss." Rene said as Adrian entered with Dinah, Ward, Bullseye, Joe, Taskmaster, Maki, Machin, Lady Deathstrike, Cupid, Jade, Davos, Yelena, the Longbow Hunters, the Jackals and Talia's students.
"You again?" Natasha demanded, glaring at Taskmaster.
"Have to even the odds." Taskmaster smirked.
"Hello, Oliver. Welcome back to Purgatory." Adrian said as Oliver glared at him.
"Where's my son?" Oliver demanded.
"I love this. Even now, at the end, you're still ten steps behind." Adrian smirked.
"Where… is my son?" Oliver repeated, losing his patience.
"William? Good name. Sort of a sweet kid, actually." Adrian glanced at Dinah before turning to Oliver again. "You sure he's yours?"
"Adrian! Where is my son?!" Oliver exploded.
"If you want to get your son back, you know what you have to do." Adrian taunted.
"I know what you want me to do. And I won't do it. I'm not gonna kill you. No matter what you do, that is never going to happen." Oliver sneered.
"Never say never." Adrian said as both groups engaged each other.
Oliver blocked with his bow as Adrian attacked with his sword.
Bullseye and Maki threw knives but Matt blocked them with his billy clubs before engaging them both.
Roy blocked with his batons as Jade attacked with her sais.
Logan and Deathstrike lunged at each other as they crashed into the corner of the room.
Rory wrapped his rags around some of the Jackals, throwing them away.
Natasha and Yelena exchanged blows, while Danny attacked Davos and Colleen used her sword to block Machin's Kamas.
Frank handed Diggle, Quentin, Rene and Lyla guns, as they and Steele, who had returned, opened fire, while Ward took cover as the Jackals and Talia's students were shot down.
Steve dodged as Bear cut him across the chest before their shields clashed but Bear's was smashed into pieces since it wasn't from vibranium. Steve punched Bear, making him stagger back before they exchanged blows. Steve slammed Bear to a pillar before Bear threw him away but he was distracted and didn't see Steele, who opened fire with his machine gun, shooting Bear down.
Nyssa cut down some students but dodged as Red fired some darts. Silencer turned on her muter and all sounds were drowned out as Silencer and Sara exchanged blows with Sara dodging as Silencer almost cut her with her knife until Ray flew in in miniaturized size, shooting Silencer as she went down, dead.
Nyssa blocked Red's darts with her sword before Taskmaster and Cupid attacked, firing with their own arrows as Nyssa rolled away to dodge. Nyssa caught one of the arrows and fired at Cupid, who had little time to react and she went down, dead. Red grazed Nyssa but Nyssa dodged the darts before she cut Red down.
Jessica and Luke grabbed Talia's students and threw them away and slammed them to the ground. Lacroix fired but he was unable to penetrate Luke's skin. Joe managed to graze Jessica before Luke shielded her. Lacroix fired another arrow but realized it was no use. Joe threw in a grenade as Jessica and Luke scattered.
Logan and Deathstrike continued their fight before Steele grabbed Deathstrike, slamming her to the ground. Deathstrike got up and kicked him back but she was too distracted to notice Logan, who swung his claws as Deathstrike's head toppled on the ground.
Dinah appeared and unleashed her Canary Cry at them both but to her shock, Logan and Steele held their own, with a lot of effort. Steele grabbed Logan and threw him at Dinah. Logan roared as he impaled his claws onto Dinah's chest, pinning her to the wall as Dinah gagged, blood filling her mouth before Logan pulled away and Dinah slumped to the wall, bleeding out and glaring before she tilted her head as light left her eyes.
Matt jumped off a wall, dodging Bullseye's knives and kicking him in the face. Bullseye flipped back and threw playing cards but Matt deflected them with his billy clubs before they exchanged blows. Bullseye kicked Matt in the stomach but Matt headbutted him and hit him in the face as Bullseye spat out blood, causing for him to stagger back. Matt blocked as Maki attacked with her sword and dodged Bullseye's needles.
Danny and Davos exchanged blows as Danny glared at him. "You're working with Chase? Lei Kung would've been ashamed of you."
"You don't get to talk about shame! You abandoned us, Danny!" Davos exploded, kicking Danny back and roaring as he charged his Iron Fist. Danny did the same as their Iron Fists impacted and the shockwave knocked them both down, alongside with Colleen and Machin. Davos got up on his feet, glaring. "I promised you that you would suffer, Danny and you—"
A gunshot shot Davos from behind as he stilled. Quentin fired several more times as Davos fell down.
"You didn't have to do that." Danny said.
"From what I gather, he had it coming." Quentin shrugged as Danny mourned for his former brother.
Machin had recovered and attempted to attack but Colleen dodged and cut Machin across his chest as he fell down, dead.
Frank and Joe exchanged blows, Frank using his knife to block Joe's sword before dodging as Joe aimed at his head. Joe pinned Frank to the wall before Logan jumped in, kicking him back.
"Not so fast, bub." Logan sneered.
Joe dodged as Logan attacked with his claws before Joe impaled him but much to his shock, Logan was still on his feet as he kicked Joe, knocking him down. Joe dodged as Logan attacked and Joe again swung his sword. Logan blocked with his claws before Joe cut him in the shoulder and across the abdomen but Logan was still on his feet. Joe roared and attempted to impale Logan again and stabbed him in the heart but stilled as he felt the claws in his own chest as Joe stared at Logan in horror.
"What kind of monster are you?" Joe asked hoarsely.
"The Wolverine." Logan growled, cutting Joe across his throat and Joe gagged before falling down.
Ward pulled out both guns, opening fire as Frank took cover. Ward scoured around but then Frank grabbed him by his head, exposing Ward's throat and Ward gagged as blood filled his mouth as Frank let him go, while cleaning up his knife.
Steve and Taskmaster exchanged blows. While Taskmaster was able to copy every move within few moments, Steve was faster and stronger. He grabbed Taskmaster in chokehold and snapped his neck.
Lacroix fired arrows but Lyla and Diggle dodged before Rory used his rags to disarm him. Before Lacroix could pull out another weapon, Lyla and Diggle used the opening and shot him down.
Yelena blocked Natasha's punch and hit her in the face before elbowing her, making Natasha stagger back. Yelena knocked Natasha down and kicked her in the face, sending her flying back.
"Familiar. Don't you have anything better?" Yelena smirked.
"How about this?" Natasha jumped at Yelena, doing a Hurricanrana, wrapping her legs around Yelena and slamming her to the ground. Yelena pushed Natasha back and got up on her feet but Natasha kicked her in the face, knocking her out.
Roy and Jade continued their fight, Roy blocking with his batons as Jade attacked with her sais until their weapons crossed. Roy flipped away, disarming Jade as they exchanged blows before Jade held Roy in chokehold. But then Sara got behind Jade and grabbed her by her head as they heard 'crack', as Jade's lifeless body fell down, letting Roy go.
Matt dodged as Bullseye and Maki attacked in sync, throwing at Matt needles, knives, shurikens and pieces of wood and shards of glass. But Steele then fired from his grenade launcher as Bullseye dodged but Maki was unable to escape the explosion as it burned her to death. Bullseye picked some rock and threw it as it bounced off the wall, hitting Matt in the chest, making him cough blood. Matt retaliated by throwing a billy club as it bounced off the ground, making Bullseye stagger back and dazing him before Matt rushed at him and kicked him in the face, knocking him out.
In the upper level, Oliver blocked Adrian's sword before punching him. Adrian pinned Oliver to the wall as their weapons crossed before Oliver pushed him back and kicked him back as Adrian stumbled against a pillar. Adrian dodged, when Oliver swung his bow and they both exchanged blows before Oliver slammed him to the railing.
"There's the killer that I know and love." Adrian smirked.
Oliver punched Adrian as Adrian fell over the railing before Oliver jumped down, grabbing Adrian in chokehold.
"Do it, Oliver. You know you want to." Adrian choked out as his face was going red.
"Yeah, Adrian, tell me. Tell me where my son is!" Oliver yelled.
"Never." Adrian grunted as Oliver's friends and allies had finished off the last of Adrian's men. "It's all over but only if you do it. Do it, Oliver and show everyone, show yourself who you really are."
Everyone stared at Oliver, wondering if he would kill Adrian.
"No!" Oliver said after few tense moments, letting Adrian go, who took deep breaths. He disarmed Adrian of his gun and dismantled it as he got up before turning to Adrian as he took a breath. "That's who I was… that's who I was before! It's not who I am now. You can blame me for your father's death for the rest of your life. I am done blaming myself for mine." He felt like if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders as he breathed out.
"I knew it would come to this." Adrian said, getting up as Oliver turned to him again. "Your son is dead, Oliver."
"He's lying." Matt said as he and Logan neared Oliver.
"I can smell it on him. The kid is still alive." Logan said.
Oliver neared Adrian and lifted his head. "I don't believe you because you're a liar. You're lying to me to manipulate me into doing what you want. But, Adrian, here's the thing. If you are telling the truth. If you killed my son, I am never going to be the person you want me to be. Not ever."
"If William is dead, I'll make sure you're gonna beg for something as sweet as death." Frank growled, nearing Adrian.
Adrian seethed as Oliver let go before knocking him out and handing Lyla a satphone. "Call out for help. We need to clean up this mess."
Oliver walked off as Sara looked at him in surprise. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find William. Make sure no one gets off the island." Oliver ordered as he ran off.
Some bits are inspired by Stand's stories "A love of two earths" and "A new age for the League of Assassins", so thank you to him and I couldn't resist the parallels with Slade's arc in Season 6.
Sorry if the fight scenes were difficult to follow but hope you liked it, since I had to deal with a fight between a large amount of characters. And frankly, for three assassins feared even by the League, in the show the Longbow Hunters were pathetic in the show. I did try to make them more threatening here but let's face it, against Team Arrow, plus the Avengers and Defenders they stand no chance.
In case you don't know, Steele has durable skin, similarly to Luke Cage and has fast healing, not to the same extent as Logan though but he doesn't age, so it figures he would survive the landmine.
And Nyssa being "the traitor" is something I've discussed with Aragorn II Elessar, as in Nyssa wanting to get to know her sister. And as much as I do believe that Nyssa deserves to kill Talia, it would only make her Ra's prisoner again, since she would be doing what Ra's and Talia want and Nyssa wouldn't give them the satisfaction.
As for Yelena not dead, I did consider her dying but we don't know what's the deal with her MCU version and from what I know, Yelena does care about Natasha to an extent and they were both willing on occasions to let go of each other's grudges.
I didn't do the final confrontation on Chase's boat due to how cliché and stupid it in the end was and my issue with the cliffhanger and Chase killing himself I already explained in my other story "Paths realinged", so that's why I cut this a bit short, so the next chapter is the aftermath of the battle on Lian Yu and ending of the story.
I am going to write one more story after this but I'd like to focus on other stories first.
So, what do you guys think?
Please review and let me know if you have been enjoying this and want for me to continue.
