Again, I couldn't get this out of my head until I did it but honestly, couldn't bring myself to stretch it out into a multichapter story due to my issues with 'Black Widow' film, this story uses some loose inspirations but leaving some things out that I disliked and I shall explain why in the bottom AN. Now, consider this a sequel to 'The Hood and the Widow' but with loose inspirations from the BW film and for the sake of the story, ignore Yelena involved before in 'The Hood and the Widow' and Taskmaster as well.

'Just another routine mission.' Natasha thought to herself. She sat at the café in a coat, with Oliver reading newspapers across the street, while Clint was on a stakeout in his car as they were observing a grey-haired man in his early 60s carrying a briefcase.
"Anything out of the ordinary?" Clint asked.
"Nothing. Should be an easy mark. Corner him, trap him, bust him." Natasha said.
"He's got some bodyguards around but we can easily dispose of them." Bobbi said.
"Let's hope so." Oliver said before he and Natasha noticed something was… off. Their target seemed to be on edge and nervous. "Does he know about us?"
"Not likely, unless…" Natasha's eyes narrowed. The tactics seemed familiar to her. Some cars were driving around in circles and the walking patterns of some people… old KGB tactics. "Someone else is after him too."
"Who?" Clint asked.
Oliver looked in confusion. "Why are they going around like that, they must know he'll—"
"They're not there to grab him, they're there to distract him and rile him up, it's an old Soviet tactic." Natasha realized. "We gotta get him before he—"
The man looked around nervously and started to run.
"Damn it!" Natasha swore. Oliver was about to get up but Natasha grabbed him by his arm. "No! Don't follow him, it's a trap! Trust me. We have to circle around."
The man entered his car and drove off, panicking before some men on motorbikes started to give chase. The man rammed some of them as they fell down before they opened fire from their guns and the man panicked as the windows shattered.
Few streets away, some men were ready with a truck with a container which was obviously to grab the man's car. Some of them were shot down by arrows, while Natasha fired her Widow's Bite from her bracelets, knocking the men out.
Oliver and Natasha approached one of the men as Oliver grabbed him by his jacket. "Who are you working for? Tell me!"
The man smirked before a gunshot went off and a hole appeared in his head.
Both Oliver and Natasha turned to see a blonde woman in white suit on the rafters as she started to run off, while Natasha climbed up and started to give chase, while Oliver entered his car, following them.
Natasha and the woman were jumping from one rooftop to another, sliding under the vent before the woman jumped onto the driveway and Natasha followed, dodging the cars or sliding on the hoods before the woman jumped down and Natasha followed, with Oliver driving down the road.
The woman slid under the garage door as it was about to close, with Natasha behind her and she continued following until they were in a dead end.
"Freeze!" Natasha ordered as the woman stopped.
"Hello, Natalia."
Natasha's blood ran cold as she recognized the voice. The woman turned around to reveal her face and Natasha stared as if she was seeing a ghost as she lowered her gun. They both circled each other as Natasha, asides from encountering the Hulk for the first time, felt dread she had not felt in years.
"Don't move, Yelena." Natasha said, aiming at her again.
"What are you waiting for, Natalia? Shoot me." Yelena taunted as they circled each other before Yelena drew her gun, aiming at Natasha. "Maybe this will help."
They both circled each other as Natasha's hands shook, trying to keep her aim steady. "Drop your weapons or I'll shoot you." She ordered in Russian.
"If you're so sure about that, what are you waiting for? I think we both know you won't do it." Yelena taunted in English.
Before Natasha could make a move, they heard an engine and they turned to see Oliver drive in in a car and Yelena reached for her belt and threw a small disc that embedded itself onto the hood of the car and a jolt of electricity went off, causing for Oliver to lose control as Natasha jumped on the hood, while Yelena climbed up and ran off and she gave Natasha one last nasty smirk before running off.
Oliver recovered as she got out from the car, looking at Natasha. He had never seen her this shaken up before, as if she had seen a ghost. "Nat, are you OK? Natasha?"
Back in S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Natasha was being debriefed by Melinda May as Oliver was talking with Clint.
"I've seen Natasha this shaken up only when she faced the Hulk. What happened back there? Who was that woman?" Oliver asked.
"That's… a long story. It's best if she tells you herself." Clint said.
Natasha had gone out from the interrogation room as she glanced at Oliver and nodded towards a nearby empty office. Oliver nodded as he followed her and they sat down.
"Would you like to explain to me what happened back there? Who was she? Why did you hesitate?" Oliver asked.
Natasha took a breath. "Her name is Yelena. Yelena Belova."
Oliver's eyes narrowed, the name ringing a bell. "Wait… wasn't she another Black Widow who trained with you?"
Natasha nodded. "It's a long story. We grew up together and looked out for each other in the Red Room. But then they forced us to fight each other. We didn't want to but eventually, she gave in. Then it became a contest of wits. And when I defected to S.H.I.E.L.D., my mission was to dismantle the Red Room. Yelena helped me out but when former Soviet forces were down on us, I left her behind. She blames me for abandoning her. What she's doing, it's my responsibility, Oliver. I have to find her."
"Not just you." Oliver said.
"It's my burden to bear, not yours, Ollie." Natasha said.
"You're right. I can't carry that burden… but I can carry you. You don't have to do this alone." Oliver said as he held her hand.
"'Lord of the Rings'? Seriously?" Natasha asked with a chuckle as Oliver shrugged before they kissed.
They travelled to Russia, where Oliver approached a tall bald muscular man and said something in Russian and the man eyed Natasha in suspicion.
"She's with me. She has helped us before. It's alright." Oliver assured as the man considered before nodding.
They entered the office as a bearded man stared in disbelief as he eyed them.
"Oliver Queen and Natalia Romanova, it's been a long time!" Anatoly laughed as he hugged them both and kissed them on their cheeks.
"It's good to see you too, Anatoly." Natasha hugged him as she kissed him on his cheek too.
"Did you find him?" Oliver asked as Anatoly pulled out a photo of a man with ginger hair and a moustache.
"If I were you, I'd be careful. He's spent good amount of years making bad people angry and when they come after him, it ends badly for them." Anatoly said.
"Do you know him?" Natasha asked.
"Only rumors from KGB. If I were you, I'd be careful. He doesn't like uninvited guests." Anatoly said.
"I'm pretty sure he will be expecting us." Natasha assured.
Men were cheering around a cage as a red-haired muscular man with a beard was exchanging blows with another man, who was younger and also strong but the red-haired man seemed more experienced and faster and stronger as the man grabbed the younger one by his wrist, broke it and then took him down with few punches.
The bearded man was counting money in his office as Natasha and Oliver entered.
"You know it is unfair to have people bet on yourself, when you have the clear edge?" Natasha asked.
"They weren't betting on me." The man corrected, speaking with a Russian accent. "They were betting on how long will that poor boy last. Most of them not even two minutes. This one went down in seven. I'm impressed. But I'm sure you didn't come here to reminisce about the old days, or did you miss me, Natalia?"
"In your dreams." Natasha said. "I need your help. With Yelena."
Alexei's face immediately hardened upon hearing that name. "It has taken you this long to find out she's alive and trying to bury her past, like you?"
"The Red Room is long gone. Dreykov's dead." Natasha said.
"We both know some people can be resilient and their stubbornness and iron will can be a pain in the ass." Alexei said.
"So she's looking for Dreykov? He's alive?" Oliver asked.
"In coma. Woke up few months ago. He's trying to restart it again." Alexei said. "One of my old contacts told me. It's a matter of time before he finds us all."
"Then help me stop him. Red Guardian used to stand for something. And we both know Dreykov was far from honorable. Kidnapping young girls and using them. " Natasha said.
"You ask me to take a mantle for a country that has long ago lost its meaning." Alexei said indifferently as he picked up his glass of vodka. "And why would I help you? You turned your back on us to fight for a man carrying a flag as his costume, a man in an armor and a Legolas and a handsome boy who uses a hammer and parlor tricks with lightning."
Having enough of it, Oliver grabbed Alexei by his jacket and pinned him to the wall. "You wanna wallow in self-pity and seclusion while the world around you burns? I've been there and trust me, one day, you're gonna get a brutal reality check when you look at yourself in the mirror and see the world behind you, burning, with everything and everyone you know and love, gone and you will hate yourself for standing by, knowing that you could've done something to prevent it."
"And we both know we don't want Yelena to walk down a path she can't come back from. You used to have honor. Principles. Where has that gone?" Natasha pleaded as Alexei considered before he got up and punched a code into his safe and opened it, handing them some files.
"You would do better to hope you can find her sooner before she finds you." Alexei said.
"Thank you." Natasha said. "And I'm sorry." She added in Russian.
"Why did you apologize to him?" Oliver asked.
"It's a long story. We were married once." Natasha said as Oliver looked at her in surprise. "An arranged marriage. We cared about each other, yes, but… let's just say we had different views. When I defected to S.H.I.E.L.D., he remained loyal to the Soviet Union, until the Red Room decided to kill hundreds of innocent civilians they wanted to use as lab rats. That was a limit Alexei wasn't going to cross, so he helped me escape. But the Soviet Union burned him, he had nothing left. No cover, no money, so he went into hiding. And I wanted to leave that part of my life behind for good. Did I love him? Honestly, if what you and I have is love, that wasn't what I felt with him but we cared about each other but we had different views."
Oliver considered before nodding.
"So, who else was behind Red Room?" Oliver wondered.
"Few Soviet and KGB officials. High-ranking. As far as I know, most of them are dead or in gulag." Natasha mused as Oliver was going through the files but then paled as he noticed one of the photos.
"Nat…" Oliver whispered.
"Bozhe moi." Natasha whispered.
In a Bratva hideout, Anatoly paled as he heard gunshots, slamming and sounds of punches and groans.
Yelena wrapped her legs around a Bratva thug, slamming him to the ground before she threw electric discs on the floor, incapacitating two more thugs and she rushed at them and kicked them, knocking them on the ground. Few thugs attacked her with knives and brass knuckles but Yelena dodged and blocked with ease before retaliating with swift series of punches and kicks and she then pulled out her knife, stabbing some of them or slitting their throats.
Anatoly reached for his gun as Yelena burst in, kicking down a thug as she twirled a knife.
"Anatoly Knyazev. Former KGB. And a smuggler." Yelena said.
"I didn't know those were young girls. I swear, I was just following orders." Anatoly begged.
"Doesn't change the fact that you helped ruin my life and hundreds of other innocent girls." Yelena sneered, about to throw her knife but an arrow knocked it off her hand.
"Yelena, enough!" Natasha said. "Killing him is not going to change what happened."
Yelena glared and pulled out her gun but Natasha tackled her as they both crashed through the window.
Oliver grabbed Anatoly and dragged him out.
Yelena and Natasha were falling until they crashed through the roof window onto rafters. Yelena grabbed a rope and swung around, with the rope hanging on a girder, knocking down some tools as Natasha jumped away before the tools would fall on her as she grabbed another rope and swung at Yelena, kicking her away as Yelena fell onto the upper level and Natasha jumped and tackled her down. Yelena pulled out her gun but Natasha disarmed her and they began exchanging blows.
"Get out of here!" Oliver ordered as he accompanied Anatoly to a garage and he drove off but Oliver then felt an arrow in his back and felt dizzy before he passed out, while a woman in a hood lowered her bow.
Yelena threw Natasha to the wall and began pummeling her but Natasha elbowed her in the face and kicked her in the chest as Yelena stumbled back and Natasha recovered. They were quickly exchanging blows before Natasha grabbed Yelena by her wrist but Yelena flipped to free herself from Natasha's grip and kicked her in the legs as Natasha fell down.
"I'm not letting myself get grabbed so easily anymore." Yelena said.
Natasha kicked Yelena in the midsection as Yelena staggered back but Yelena dodged Natasha's following punch and slammed her to a closet as it crashed. Natasha grabbed a curtain from the window and they both wrapped it around each other, choking each other until their faces started to go red.
"Truce?" Natasha whispered in Russian.
"Truce." Yelena nodded, as both of them loosened their grip and took deep breaths to let sweet fresh air fill their lungs. "Though we should probably help your American friend too."
When Oliver came to, he noticed he was in some hotel room as he looked around. This wasn't one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hideouts, more like Natasha's.
He went out to face a woman with dark brunette hair.
"You're awake. Good." The woman said with a foreign accent that Oliver couldn't place. Eastern… Arabian…
"Who are you?" Oliver asked as he noticed Natasha approaching him.
"Are you alright?" Natasha asked.
"Nat, what's going on?" Oliver asked as he noticed Yelena in another corner. "Few hours ago, she tried to kill us."
"If I wanted you both dead, you wouldn't see me coming so easily and we wouldn't be talking right now." Yelena sneered.
"Perhaps we should all calm down. After all, our interests are aligned." The woman introduced herself. "My name is Talia."
"Who are you and why did you attack us?" Oliver asked.
"Because you have been meddling in our business. Yelena was one of my students."
"Students?" Oliver asked, confused.
"This is Talia al Ghul. She searches for worthy warriors and helps… guide them." Natasha said.
"Al Ghul…" Oliver whispered before he widened his eyes. "As in…"
"…the daughter of Ra's al Ghul but I have forged my own path, Mr. Queen. And as Yelena said, if we wanted you dead, we wouldn't be talking." Talia said.
"Why do you want Dreykov dead?" Oliver asked.
"Let's just say I've faced my share of monsters like him." Talia said.
"And you want us to work with you? Why should we?" Natasha questioned.
"Because General Dreykov is smart and he knows how to avoid your Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. friends. And we can't take him down on our own." Yelena said.
"So we need a plan." Oliver realized.
A plane flew into the skies, with Yelena piloting and Talia disguised as a mercenary and Oliver and Natasha in restraints high into the clouds to reveal a flying base.
"I'm sorry." Natasha said to Yelena, who looked at her in surprise. "I didn't want to abandon you. I didn't even know where you were. I looked. I tried."
"Dwelling on it won't help." Yelena said.
"But we don't have to fight each other for something that has happened long ago. I think we need to bury the past." Natasha said.
"I suppose. Maybe then, we can start over." Yelena said, knowing Natasha was right. Perhaps it was time to move on.
Oliver was dragged into a prison cell, while Natasha was dragged into Dreykov's office in restraints by Yelena.
"Look at you, Natalia." Dreykov said as he got up. "Finally a day Yelena bests you."
"When I heard you were alive, I knew I had to go back. I never turned my back on you, unlike her." Yelena sneered in disgust at Natasha, who was unfazed.
"You turned your back on your family. Your blood." Dreykov said.
"We were never family, Dreykov. You've kidnapped and used young girls as your slaves and soldiers and puppets, indoctrinated them into following your beliefs and now you want to start again." Natasha said.
Oliver was about to be locked up, when Talia pulled out a knife and slit the throat of one of the mercenaries while Oliver disarmed another mercenary and shot the rest of them down.
"Good reflexes. I'm impressed." Talia said and Oliver shrugged.
"At least we believe in something. What do your Avengers friends believe in?" Yelena asked mockingly.
"We fight to make the world a better place." Natasha said.
"'Better place'? The world will keep destroying itself unless we put things in motion. People cannot be trusted with their free will. They need to submit to fear, death, chaos, so that we can help make it better." Dreykov said.
"At the price of innocent lives? If that's the world you're building, I want no part in it." Natasha said.
"A small price to pay for a new world order. And there are other ways we can make you cooperate." Dreykov said. "You will witness a rebirth of the Earth, with new leaders soon enough."
"But you won't." Natasha said with a smirk as Dreykov looked confused as he heard beeping.
Yelena pulled out a small device that beeped. "Transponder. In few minutes, the location of the base will be known to every intelligence agency on the planet."
"Traitors!" Dreykov spat.
"It's over, Dreykov." Natasha said.
Suddenly, from above fell down a man in white cape and a skull mask and an armor, with a bow and quiver of arrows, a sword and a shield on his back.
"Kill them!" Dreykov ordered.
"With pleasure." Taskmaster said as Natasha and Yelena pulled out their batons, while Taskmaster engaged them with his sword and shield.
Explosions went off in the entire base as S.H.I.E.L.D. and STRIKE operatives led by Clint and Steve engaged Dreykov's men.
From another plane went out Alexei Shostakov in his Red Guardian suit as he fought side-by-side with Steve, Clint and Bobbi.
"Never thought we'd work together instead of against each other but here we are!" Alexei said enthusiastically as he and Steve engaged the mercenaries, who were unable to penetrate Alexei's suit or Steve's shield and were knocked down due to the Super Soldiers' enhanced strength and Bobbi engaged some of them with her battle staves.
Oliver and Talia engaged some mercenaries in another corridor, shooting them down with arrows and took cover around the corner before Oliver fired an explosive arrow, taking them out. Oliver and Talia ran down the corridor before they faced more guards, engaging them with their bows and trading blows. Oliver slammed one of them to the wall and blocked the attacks of the rest before he spun around, delivering several punches and kicks, knocking them down, while Talia pulled out a knife and swiftly dispatched of them and Talia looked at Oliver, impressed by his fighting skills, with Oliver impressed by hers.
Yelena flipped back as Taskmaster aimed at her legs with his sword. Natasha disarmed him of it and wrapped her legs around him, trying to knock him down but Taskmaster anticipated that move and recovered, wrapping his legs around her and knocking her down instead, copying her moves. Natasha got up as Taskmaster jumped and spun around, kicking her in the chest and sending her flying through the window out.
Talia saw Dreykov run into a hangar, while Oliver saw Natasha outside.
"Go." Talia ordered as Oliver ran to help Natasha.
Taskmaster jumped down and looked up as Oliver jumped down and fired an arrow but Taskmaster caught it and quickly drew his bow and fired, cutting the strap on Oliver's quiver, cutting it as Oliver's arrows fell. He was good, Oliver had to give him that.
Oliver jumped on a line and swung around, kicking Taskmaster off the bridge but Taskmaster pulled out a grapnel and fired, swinging on the line just like Oliver and kicking him instead as Oliver fell over the railing.
"Oliver!" Natasha grabbed Oliver's hand and pulled him up before Taskmaster got between them.
Both Oliver and Natasha attacked in tandem but Taskmaster blocked and countered with his arms and legs, mimicking their moves and anticipating their attacks and knocking them back. Oliver jumped and flipped as Talia taught him, kicking Taskmaster but Taskmaster recovered and did the same flip, knocking Natasha down as they both recovered.
Dreykov's helicopter was about to take off but an explosive arrow embedded itself on the rotor as it exploded, causing for the helicopter to swerve.
Realizing that Taskmaster would replicate every move they could make and anticipate them, Oliver and Natasha realized that they had to try something risky that Taskmaster wouldn't see coming. Oliver nodded and Natasha nodded back as Natasha ran at Taskmaster and did a Hurricanrana but Taskmaster freed himself from her grip and did a Hurricanrana on her instead, slamming her down but that gave Oliver an opening to fire an explosive arrow as Natasha rolled away and the explosion caused for the bridge to collapse as Taskmaster screamed, falling down as his screams echoed.
"Is he dead?" Oliver asked.
"Unless he can fly or has a parachute, let's hope so." Natasha said.
The bridge suddenly collapsed as Oliver and Natasha were about to fall but they grabbed a line as Yelena used a grapnel on her bracelet and pulled them both up as both her and Natasha smiled at each other.
Dreykov coughed as he crawled out from the wreckage of the helicopter and calling on the phone. "Help me. S.H.I.E.L.D. is—"
"You disappointed us, Dreykov. Perhaps we overestimated your value. And you shouldn't have been so callous and you should've stayed hidden instead of resuming your ambition. Our partnership is dissolved." The man on the phone said before hanging up.
"Wait. Wait!" Dreykov shouted before Clint and Steve approached him, apprehending him.
In an office in a building, an elderly man in his late 60s turned off the computer as he seethed.
"Sir, aren't you worried Dreykov will expose us?" A hispanic man in a suit asked, wearing glasses.
"Dreykov was expendable. There are other plans in motions and other means of pushing the world into the right direction." The man said, while on the screen was shown a brown-haired man in a black mask and a metal left arm in some cryochamber. "Cut off one head, two more shall take its place."
"Hail Hydra." The hispanic man nodded.
"It's over. I can't believe it's finally over." Yelena said as they saw Dreykov and other Red Room operatives being apprehended by S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Like old times. Isn't that right?" Alexei said.
"Hopefully not too much. What will you do now?" Natasha asked.
Yelena considered. "Honestly, I've been on the run for so long, I don't know anymore."
"You could work for us." Clint offered.
"Oh, no. Me and S.H.I.E.L.D., bad combo. How about 'You need me, I'll be there.'?" Yelena shrugged.
"Fair enough." Steve said.
"I think I might set up a dog shelter. I always wanted one." Yelena said.
"And you?" Natasha asked.
"Come with me." Alexei said as he and Natasha walked down the area. "You and Queen, you care about him?" Natasha tried to mask her feelings but he could see it in her eyes. "We both know you and I never would have worked out together. You had your beliefs, I had mine. And Soviet Union is long dead. Red Guardian doesn't have a country to fight for anymore. And those that would, they're monsters, like Dreykov." He kissed Natasha, who was touched but she didn't feel the spark with him, unlike with Oliver before he pulled away. "Take care, Natalia."
"Take care, Alexei." Natasha said as Alexei walked away, while she wiped a tear from her cheek as Yelena approached Natasha.
"What's past should stay in the past, right?" Yelena said.
"Guess so." Natasha said. "I know it won't change anything but I'm sorry I abandoned you."
"I don't blame you anymore." Yelena said as Natasha turned to her in surprise. "Like I said, what's past should stay in the past. And at least I have my friend back." They shook hands and seemingly made amends.
Few weeks later, Oliver and Natasha were on a beach, with Oliver tanning on a beach chair, while Natasha had gone out from the water, her hair wet and drops dripping.
"So, how are you going to explain the vacation to your Mom and Thea?" Natasha asked as she laid on Oliver's chest.
"Uh, a storm got us stuck on the island?" Oliver asked.
"I'll take that." Natasha said as they kissed, while Oliver reached for the strings on the back of the top of Natasha's bikini, exposing her breasts as they kissed and Natasha moaned softly as they started to give in.
I used loosely some events in the film, since while action-wise it was good, outside of inaccuracies with comics, I disliked how Natasha had a family before the Avengers with Alexei, Melina and Yelena, which cheapens her relationship with Clint and his family and her friendship with her Avengers friends, and the pheromone mind control was also stupid as hell, with Natasha breaking her nose to break through it. With Dreykov, I'm leaving out his daughter Antonia as Taskmaster, since half the time she used a computer to anticipate her opponents' moves. Don't get me started on the MCU version, instead Taskmaster is the comic book version, a mercenary out for himself and for the sake of the story, Loki's mention about Dreykov's daughter didn't happen either. Honestly, the whole film felt like a cheap version of Mission: Impossible and James Bond films. Plus, the Widows undercover, nothing but cheap Hydra or Project Insight. Would've been more interesting if Dreykov was a part of another faction of Hydra, like with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where were also multiple factions of Hydra before they were taken down for good. So, no more Black Widow but an army of mercenaries instead. In this Taskmaster would've survived to cause trouble later but I'm honestly done with writing Arrow outside of crossovers and other love interests for Oliver outside of Laurel or Sara.
And anyone want to guess who Dreykov was ditched by here and who those two men were? *winks*
Alexi Shostakov would be played here by Jake Abel, which I got from Stand with Ward and Queen's 'Two earths' series.
Now, would Oliver training with Natasha equal to training with Talia? That depends but I think that after training with SHIELD and Nat and Clint, Talia would help Oliver at least sharpen some of his skills in few weeks.
In comics, Yelena and Natasha were occasionally both allies and enemies and Alexei Shostakov (Red Guardian) wasn't deliberately a villain but basically a Soviet version of Captain America and Natasha's husband instead of a father figure. Alexei was loyal to Soviets and thus became an enemy of the Avengers and he wanted also to best Steve but he also showed himself to be an honorable man when the Soviets wanted to kill unconscious Steve and Alexei sacrificed himself to save Steve and Nat but in the film, while amusing comic relief, the father figure thing didn't sit with me, alongside his embellished stories about his fights with Steve. Here, I wanted to portray him as more honorable, if a little broken and disillusioned, character. I considered adding Melina but ultimately, I decided not to add her, since, putting aside how stupid it was to have Nat have parental figures, what role would she have here? And hope that how I included Talia makes sense and Oliver also learned some tricks from Talia but he had already been trained by SHIELD and Nat instead of her in Russia.
So, hope this was much better than the clusterfuck the Black Widow film was. Honestly, MCU is dead after Endgame, outside of Season 7 of Agents of SHIELD, at this point it's just cash grab at the expense of ruining characters or making super weird plots, then again, it's Disney.
And the events I've already covered in 'The Archer's and the Widow's Journey' are also canon to this but honestly, I'm done writing stories covering canon of Arrow, since I'm tired of it and I don't really have the willpower to write MCU version of Avengers films like Age of Ultron, Civil War, Infinity War, Endgame etc. anymore.
Please review and let me know if you have enjoyed this one-shot.
