Chapter 10: Back From The Dead

Riggs looked behind Roger and saw a man that he somewhat knew. The man was dressed like a man that he had met once back in Star City. The man that was dressed like Malcolm Merlyn. Riggs know very quickly that the man was from the League of Assassins. The man moved and drawn back his bow and with three arrows in place. Riggs saw that the arrows were going to hit Roger in the back. Riggs saw the man let go of the bowstring and the arrows flow through the air. Riggs moved and turned Roger around. The arrows hit Riggs in the back. Roger saw this and was shocked that Riggs was still standing. Riggs looked up at Roger and said.

"Rog, run." Roger didn't move but then did move when Riggs yelled at him.

"ROG RUN!" Riggs turned just in time to catch an arrow that was going to hit him in the back. Riggs looked at the man and broke the arrow in half.

"What do you want Almot?!" He asked him.

"What do you think? To see if you have gotten better." He told him. Almot started to run toward Riggs. Riggs moved to the half stone wall. He moved his back against the wall and broke the arrows. He then ran toward Almot. Roger moved from where he was and watched to the two fight. He saw Riggs duck down as Almot went to punch him in the face. He then saw Riggs move and with his elbow he hit Almot in the knee and this made Almot fall to the ground. Almot rolled over and kicked Riggs in the head with his boot. Riggs fell to the ground. Roger got worried when Riggs didn't get up. Roger watched as Almot moved and knelt down over Riggs. Roger grabbed his gun and ran over to Almot.

"Don't move!" He told him.

"I have to close this wound before he bleeds to death." Almot told Roger. Almot moved and got out a pair of needlepoint pliers. He moved and pushed them into the wound. As he did that Riggs screamed as the pliers moved deeper into the wound. Almot pulled out the bullet out, Riggs passed out from the pain. Once out the wound started to pour the blood. Roger moved and placed his hands over the wound. Almot moved to his belt again and got out a vial out. He opened the vial and poured the paste on the wound. Roger looked at him.

"What is that?" He asked him.

"It's a mix of Witch Hazel and sugar." Roger watch as the bleeding stopped. He looked up and saw Almot pick Riggs up and dragged him over to a van that was parked not to far away. Roger watched Almot place Riggs in the van and started to undress him.

"Hey?!" Roger asked him and grabbed Almot's hand. Almot looked over at Roger.

"What?" He asked him. "We have to get these clothes off and place street clothes on him." Roger gave him an odd look.

"Why do we have to do that?" He asked him.

"So that he can go to the hospital and get help. He can't go to the hospital in these clothes. They will know who he is." Roger then understood why Almot was doing this. They took off Riggs's suit and then place street clothes on him. The one thing that Roger noticed that the street clothes were in Riggs's size. Then Roger noticed in a shock that the clothes were Riggs's own clothes. After that was done Almot helped Roger place the unconscious Riggs into Roger's car. Roger turned to look at Almot and saw that the man was gone. He then moved and got into the car and drove to the hospital.

-At Almot's Base-

Almot walked into his base and took off his suit. He walked upstairs to his office. He was dressed in a office attire. He walked over to his desk and then looked up at the woman that walked in. She smiled at him as she spoke as he sat down.

"Mr. Ashwood the blood find on your arrow is a matches to a Martin Riggs." She told him. He smiled to himself and then stood up. He walked around his desk. He looked down at the picture of a five year old Martin Riggs. He smiled to himself and then looked back at her.

"Thank you LeeAnne." He thanked her.

"You are welcome Mr. Martin Ashwood." She said and went to walk out. She was half way to the door when she stopped and looked at him.

"Oh yes." He looked at her again.

"What is it?" He asked her.

"Martin Riggs has been admitted to the LA Royal Hospital an hour ago." She told him.

"Thank you." He smiled and watched the young woman leave. He walked over to the window and looked out. He smiled to himself but then it fell.

"Please let him be alright." He said in a worried voice.

-With Riggs-

Martin Riggs came too and looked over to his left and saw Cahill sitting beside him. He smiled at her. Cahill looked up and smiled at him.

"Your awake." She said this and got Roger's addition. Roger moved from his seat that was by the window and walked over to the bed.

"Hey." He said and this in return made Riggs look over at him. Martin smiled at his friend.

"Hey, did you miss me?" He asked him with a wide smile.

"Yes I did, you ass." Riggs smiled at his friend.

"How are you alive?" Cahill asked him. Martin looked over at the woman that he loved.

"Well that is along story." He told her.

"We have all night Riggs." Roger told him and moved next to Cahill. He sat down and they both waited for Riggs to start telling them what had happened five months ago.

"Well, after I got shot, I was brought to the hospital. They did save me but the actions that I have done over the years had gotten the addition of a group called A.R.G.U.S." Roger looked at him. "Advanced Research Group United Support. I'm not going to tell you all about it, but they did find me and paid off the doctor to say that I was dead. Then afterwards I was to go around LA and help y'all out as well as LAPD."

"Why?" Roger asked him.

"Well, Amanda Waller thought that it was be good for me to suit up again." He was about to go on but this time Cahill stopped him.

"Again?"

"Yeah, see I was only in the Navel Seals for about three years, and then my commanding officer told Waller about me and she took me into A.R.G.U.S. I did do some jobs for The Navel Seals but most of the time I was working for Waller. She thought that I need to suit up again and take a break from being Martin Riggs for awhile." He told them.

"So this Almot guy ,you know him?" Roger asked.

"Yeah, I have fought him in the past. He isn't that bad…at times." He laughed lightly at the last part. He stopped when he saw that Roger and Cahill were not laughing. "But anyway, I just know him as Almot, not by his name name. I just know that in Arabic Almot means Death." He told them.

"So why did he fight you then?" Roger asked again.

"Well, see for some odd reason he likes to see if I have gotten better then him. I don't know why but he does." Martin told them. Just then Anne and Landon ran into the room.

"DAD!" They both yelled out. Martin looked over at his kids. They both ran over to him and hugged him.

"I'm okay." He told them.

"Are you sure?" Anne asked him.

"Yeah I am." He smiled at her.

"Wait." They all looked over at Roger as he spoke. "Is Anne really you daughter?" He asked his friend.

"Yes she is. Her mother and I were in A.R.G.U.S together 14 years ago and we." He looked over at Anne who looked at him with a face.

"We made Anne." He said. "Better." He added.

"Much thank you." She smiled at him. Which in return made him smile at her.

"What about Landon?" Cahill asked.

"Well, I have a lot of people that made the adoption go through very fast." He smiled at them. Riggs then looked at the wall. They all saw this.

"Dad you okay?" Anne asked him. She watched as her father looked over at Cahill.

"I love you." He told her. Cahill looked at him with a shocked look. "I have loved you for along time." He added. Cahill smiled at him.

"And I have loved you for along time too." She told him.

"I want to be with you." He told her. Cahill smiled again.

"And I want to be with you." Cahill told him and leaned down and kissed Riggs on the lips. Martin kissed her back. The kiss broke and Cahill leaned back and laid her head on Riggs's forehead.

"I love you too." She told him.
