For future references in this story, Black Siren/Laurel Lance Earth 2, has not been seen in this story or at the beginning of this version of season 7 and you will figure out why in this chapter. Also after this story, I may or may not do an Arrow Season 7 rewrite to fit this story in there, just something to keep in mind.
Central City, S.T.A.R. Labs
After spreading the news about Cisco's Vibe, those closest to Laurel Lance or close to those who knew her arrived at S.T.A.R. Labs; the likes included Barry Allen, Iris West-Allen, Dr. Caitlin Snow, Ralph Dibny, Oliver Queen, John Diggle, Felicity Smoak, Dinah Drake, Sara Lance, Ava Sharpe, and Sherloque Wells. They were all staring intently at Cisco Ramon.
"So you're only telling me, that you only think that my sister's alive?" Sara asked angrily.
"Uh yeah, I believe that I left out any definites," Cisco said nervously and a little scared of Sara.
"But, Gary said, uh dammit Gary," Sara said out loud as she realized Gary got carried away in his message.
"I'll reprimand him later babe," Ava told Sara.
"Cisco, what exactly did you see again?" Oliver asked.
"It's better if I just show everyone. Gather around." Cisco said as everyone gathered around placed a hand on Cisco; some of them did it reluctantly and awkwardly. Using his powers, Cisco showed everyone his vibe of Laurel; of her shooting, two people point-blank in the face in an alleyway. As everyone exited the vibe, some of them stood back in shock of what they saw.
"Laurel," Sara said.
"Okay, so I'll think I need to state the obvious, but that wasn't Laurel," Felicity said.
"Yeah, if anything that was Black Siren," Dinah said.
"I'm sorry, who or what is a Black Siren?" Ralph asked.
"Laurel's doppelganger from Earth-Two, very sultry and very evil," Cisco replied. "I thought about that, but the item that I touched that first triggered my vibe was something that Laurel, our Laurel gave to me personally." He explained.
"Well, our Laurel would have never flat out shoot someone in the head like that!" Oliver spoke out loud.
"But, Black Siren would," Dinah stated plainly.
"Again, it ain't Black Siren," Cisco stated plainly.
"Can you be so certain?" Dinah replied.
"Dinah might have a point, I mean no one's seen Black Siren since Quentin died." John reminded everyone.
"If I may interject." Sherloque interrupted as everyone looked to him, the detective began walking explaining his reasons. "Capitaine Drake's assertation is not unreasonable. Logically, everyone here knows that Mademoiselle Lance is deceased. Again, logically, given the nature of by which her doppelganger is known for and it fits the act that Cisco's vision showed; the most probable answer is that Cisco saw Black Siren execute these victims for reasons that currently escape us." He said.
"See," Dinah said.
"However," Sherloque interrupted the Star City Police Captain. "Given the nature of Cisco's powers were tied to this object that Mademoiselle Lance left to him and not the Siren herself, and given my own experience in dealing with cases of resurrections. There is also a strong probability that the woman was the Laurel Lance most people in this room are familiar with." He explained.
"Except the part where we take it that my sister killed two people in cold blood!" Sara yelled.
"Forgive my accusations, Capitaine Lance. But in my experience, if this was indeed your sister, once the dead return to the living they are never quite the same as they were before." Sherloque told Sara, who couldn't argue knowing her experiences with coming back from the dead.
"So we're either dealing with Black Siren or the original Laurel Lance, who is now apparently capable of first-degree murder; neither which is good news," Caitlin said.
"Whether this is really Laurel, Black Siren, or maybe some other version of her, I think we can all agree that we need to find out for sure and we need to find out before this person hurts Laurel's reputation and legacy even further," Oliver said passionately.
"Damn straight," Sara said.
"Cisco, you once told me that your vibes could see not only recent events but past events what if what you saw happened years ago?" Iris asked him.
"Not unlikely, which means that the trail would be very cold by now," Cisco stated.
"I've solved my fair share of cold cases," Ralph said.
"As have I, Monsieur Giraffe," Sherloque told him.
"Well do we even know where to start, I mean that place could be anywhere in the world," Ava said,
"Cisco can you bring me into your Vibe again?" Oliver asked. "I think I saw something that looked familiar to me." He said. Cisco walked to Oliver and once again brought him into his vibe, for a brief moment Oliver stared at Laurel or whoever it was that had the face of the woman he deeply loved. Looking at his surroundings, Oliver then walked up to the steps of the warehouse and found a building with Giant "W" on it that was in the background that he recognized. Oliver then exited the vibe.
"Well I don't know when this happened but I know where," Oliver said.
"So where are we going?" Barry asked.
"Gotham City," Oliver said.
"Gotham City, really Gotham?" John asked.
"What's so bad about Gotham? Sara asked.
"It's even more difficult to live there than in Star City, Sara, on top of being overridden with crime, the one-percenters basically take what little good is there and keep it all to themselves and that's just the start of its problems; Gotham is basically considered a dead city by the US government that nobody talks about," Oliver explained.
"No city no matter how hopeless it is going stop me from figuring out whether or not my sister is actually alive." Sara proclaimed.
"I know it wouldn't," Oliver said. Turning to everyone else. "Alright let's get going." He shouted.
Felicity walked over to her husband. "Oliver, hey can we talk?" She asked.
"Sure," Oliver said as he went somewhere a little more private. "What's up?" He asked
"Listen, you probably shouldn't go," Felicity said.
"What?" Oliver asked his wife.
"Oliver Queen is a public figure and an infamous vigilante. If you are in Gotham City, you're attracting the type of attention that we don't want." Felicity explained.
"Felicity this concerns Laurel you can't expect me to just sit this one out, cause I won't," Oliver argued.
"Of course not, I mean why would you not listen to me now when you haven't before." Felicity countered.
"Felicity," Oliver said as Felicity walked away and Barry passed her to talk to Oliver. "Something going on with you two?" Barry asked.
"Yes, but right now she thinks I shouldn't go to Gotham, thinks I'll draw too much attention and she might be right," Oliver explained.
"Well she should know by now you don't sit around when someone you care about is in trouble, especially when that someone might be Laurel Lance. Besides if Gotham can handle the Batman, it can handle the Green Arrow." Barry replied.
"The Batman's an urban legend," Oliver told Barry.
"Wait you don't believe Batman's real?" Barry surprisingly asked.
"He's not real. He's an urban legend concocted by the Gotham police department to scare criminals. And I'm the original masked vigilante, Barry." Oliver said defensively.
"Well, I guess we're going find out for sure now, huh," Barry said.
In Gotham City, a shadowy silhouette was standing on the top of a building as their hair and cape blowing in the wind.
