The Green Arrow held his bow at the ready, as did Speedy. Both are ready to kill if necessary. "Rip Hunter, leave" the Green Arrow growled. "Laurel, is off-limits"
"I would listen to him mate," John Constantine chimed in. "I went through a lot of trouble bringing her back, I'm not going to let you put her back in the grave"
Rip Hunter didn't hesitate "I'm really sorry it has to be this way, Laurel an anomaly it has to be dealt with" Heatwave, the Atom, and Firestorm stood waiting for the signal.
"Don't" the Green Arrow order looking at the Atom. "And where's Sara, if you hurt her" the Green Arrow added.
"She's fine. She's indisposed at the moment" Rip answered. The Atom added "She threatened to slit Rip's throat if he did this" Heatwave coming impatient "Can we get on with this already?"
Green Arrow whispered into his comms "John please tell me Felicity is as good as I think she is" John responded "We're at the Waverider, Felicity is attempting to hack it now"
Felicity shook her head "John I don't know if I can do this. This technology is beyond anything I've seen before from hundreds of years in the future" John put his hand on the blonde's shoulder "You can do this Felicity if we're going to take down the legends we're going to need Sara's help"
" I'm sorry Mr. Queen this has to be done" Rip then ordered the team to move in. The battle began, when Heatwave fired his flamethrower at the two archers, those archers dodged it and returned fire with a series of arrows.
While Firestorm targeted John. Constantine conjures up a shield to defend himself. "You're out of your league kid, I just returned from hell. There's nothing you can throw at me then I can't match"
The Green Arrow was like dealing with the Atom. Firing a series of explosive arrows attempting to disable his suit. Only to find the suit far more resilient then the first time they met. "Oliver, this is foolish. I'm sorry about Laurel but the timeline has to be preserved"
Back at the Waverider, John was pacing back and forth " Felicity, I don't mean to rush you but Oliver and Thea are going up against a man in a suit of armor, a metahuman, and and a highly unstable criminal of a flamethrower" Felicity turn to John giving him I know look before going back to work.
Firestorm soon found himself outmatched by the Warlock. John countering his every move with one spell or another. Despite the combined minds of Jax and Martin, they were no match for John Constantine's experience.
Speedy on her hands full with Heatwave. She's been on the defensive the entire time, dodging fireblast after fireblast. "Green Arrow, I could use some help here" she yelled ducking behind a wall.
With all this going on Laurel set back at the bunker. Watching the battle on the monitors. They were literally fighting for her life. She felt so helpless her father had his hands on his shoulders tempting to comfort her.
She had been dead a month until Constantine arrived only hours ago. Apparently somehow her soul was absorbed into Oliver's tattoo instead of crossing over into the next realm.
John had said this type of thing shouldn't have been possible, that Darhk's Idol should have absorbed her soul. That revelation caused everyone in the room to pale. "Ollie!" She screamed.
Seeing Oliver blasted backward by the Atom into a dumpster. He was slow to get up; he clearly got his bell rung. Quentin squeezed his eldest daughter's shoulders. "Dad I'm afraid, Ollie and Thea really good but what chance did they stand against people with powers"
The Atom landed in front of Oliver "Oliver please stand down it's over" smirk came over Green Arrow's face. Pulling on a flechette, throwing it, catching the Atom on the neck in a small space between the helmet and the rest of the suit.
Now standing over the Atom "Be grateful Ray, this one was only a tranquilizer" the Green Arrow now turns towards his sister still struggling with Heatwave. Rory wasn't one to mess with a hardened Criminal, a dangerous man Oliver never understood why the Time Master recruited him.
Jumping into the fray Green Arrow got close, taking on Rory hand-to-hand. His flame gun wasn't much use this close-up. Not to mention Oliver had the advantage here, Rory was physically strong but wasn't more than a street fighter standing no chance against Oliver's training.
"Speedy, help John Firestorm needs to be separated, it's the only way to beat him" Speedy nodded, firing a series of explosive arrows. Each hit the mark causing Firestorm to spiral out of control landing in a tree.
"John, Firestorms two people in one. Separated there helpless" John smiled. "Two people in one you say," John said to himself. Getting ready for a spell that could just maybe separate them. "Stand back lass, here goes nothing"
Thea could only watch as John conjured up his most impressive spell yet. His eyes glowed this time as well as his hands. "Almost ready" Firestorm, still in the tree disoriented, didn't know what hit him.
Next thing they knew they were falling from the tree separated. Speedy was on them in seconds hitting them both with tranquilizer darts. While hand-to-hand Oliver made short work of Rory, dislocating his shoulder and knee.
Back at the Waverider "Dammit, dammit, dammit" Felicity yelled and kicked at the ground. " This isn't working John" tears were running down her face. Her entire world is falling apart around her the way Oliver looked at Laurel Constantine brought her back to life.
She was going to lose him permanently. God, why did she break things off over William? Why didn't she stop to think? Now she couldn't even do what she was good at, she couldn't begin to figure out how to hack this ship. " John, I can't do this. I'm sorry it's too advanced" with that she sank to the ground sobbing.
Back at the site of the battle elections had been tied up and contained. Only for them to realize Rip Hunter had disappeared. " damn it, where's Rip?" Speedy's hand went to her mouth. "Laurel!"
The pair ran to Oliver's motorcycle. "Quickly on Speedy," Oliver said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, I have a quick away blokes," Constantine stepped in front of the bike. " I have a fast way to get you the bunker"
With that, John conjured up a spell opening a portal. "Let's go mates" they step through. Finding Quentin engaged in a firefight with Rip. " there's no way in hell you're going to get my daughter you son of a b****"
Rip's futuristic gun gave him the advantage. The table Quentin and Laurel are hiding behind couldn't sustain much more of a pounding. Oliver immediately opened fire; his first shot pierced Hunter's hand; he dropped his weapon and against the bunker's wall.
Oliver stomp over to the time traveler grabbing him by the collar "Get the hell out of my city, I'm giving you this one chance if you ever come back how to slit your throat as Sara promised"
Rip looked the man in his eyes knowing he was beaten. His team shattered, defeated by two archers and a warlock. Quite a strange combination. "And one more thing they're going to release Sara" he added before ripping an arrow from his hand.
With everything over Laurel slowly stood. She couldn't take her eyes off Oliver. The next thing either of them knew they were in each other's arms kissing passionately forgetting anybody else was in the room with them.
Quentin looked away. Speedy called Dig and Felicity on comms calling them back to base. While Constantine watched the free show with amusement.
Within 30 minutes Dig, Felicity, and Sara arrived back on the base. Sara immediately ran to her sister collapsing into her arms crying openly. Felicity just sunk into a chair away from the others. Full of mixed emotions. While Diggle stood there with his arms crossed wondering what the future held.
Once broken apart from her sister Sara made her way over to her former captain. She pulled the man up from the floor "I should kill you, Rip you trying to take my sister away from me again. I'm leaving the Legends, get the hell out of Star City and never come back" Sara slammed the man against the wall before letting him drop to the floor.
Laurel fell into a chair letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding. " Is it over?" She asked, exhausted from everything being resurrected, then fighting for her very existence. Oliver made his way over to her placing a hand on the shoulder "It's over" he said with confidence.
Laurel looked up at the man she loved "Now what?" She asked. With hope In her eyes. Oliver smiled, reaching down, taking her hand without saying the word, pulling her up, and leading her to the elevator.
Next morning
Laurel awoke her body was tangled with Oliver's. Two people literally could not get closer than they were now. They had made love that night multiple times. Rediscovering each other's bodies, bodies that fit together perfectly in every sense of the word.
She wasn't sure what the future held for the two of them. Perhaps they were taking things too fast jumping right into a relationship. But it felt right she had waited years for these wasted years pushing him away after Tommy's death right into Felicity's arms.
She smiled, feeling Oliver starting to stir. Oliver now propping himself up on one elbow "Morning beautiful" he said leaning in for a kiss. She accepted the kiss, running her hands down his chest. It wasn't long before she climbed back on top of him and they proceeded to make love once again.
