Lorum ipsum - flashback


Oliver and Shado walked down the stairs to leave the Queen mansion. They were stopped by Moira who had Sara Lance standing next to her. Sara saw Oliver and went to give him a hug. She then turned to Shado to greet her. "Hello, my name is Sara Lance. I work for the starling city police department as a bodyguard. I'm here to be your bodyguard that Moira hired for you." Sara told them explaining why she was there.

"My name is Shado Gulong. It is a pleasure to meet a close friend of Oliver's." Shado said. While pleasantries were exchanged, Oliver was observing the changes to Sara. He could tell that she was now a warrior by how tense she stood as if waiting for any attack on her person. He wondered what she went through in her three years away to be trained like at as he knew that the police department didn't have the kind of training she seemed to have. He decided to ask her when they were in the car. Oliver was broken out of his thoughts when Moira spoke up.

"As Sara already told you, she is here for your protection. I'm not going to lose you again. Please accept this for me." Moira said, wanting her son protected and to have a friendly face to help him recover. Oliver just hugged his mom back not wanting to fight her on this.

"Don't worry. We will stay with Sara." Oliver said, comforting his mother in the process.


The three of them were in the car on the way to lunch. Oliver and Shado were planning on ditching Sara to go see what China had set up for their base of operations. Oliver was about to speak up to begin the distraction when Sara beat him to the punch.

"Do you have something to tell me Ollie?" Sara asked. Oliver wondered what she meant.

"What do you mean Sara?" Oliver asked.

"What are you doing with the daughter of the leader of the Triad in Beijing?" Sara asked him. Oliver was shocked that she knew who Shado was. He looked at Shado and saw that she was just as shocked as he was.

"What do you mean? I'm not part of the Triad Sara." Shado spoke up trying to dissuade Sara.

"Sure you don't. You totally don't look like his daughter and you come from China. Whatever it is you have planned, I want in." Sara told them. Oliver looked at Shado to see what she was thinking. Shado looked at him and just shrugged indicating the decision was up to him.

"We will let you in, but you have to us how you knew who Shado was and promise not to kill ou third partner. If you're in, take us to my father's old factory. That is where we are set up." Oliver told Sara accepting her help. Sara gave her acknowledgement and drove them to the factory.


Oliver and Shado walked into the basement with Sara waiting outside. Oliver wanted her to stay outside not knowing how China would react. When China saw the two come in, she walked over to them and kissed both of them. She saw the two look at each other, "Is there already a problem?" she asked them.

"Yes," Oliver spoke up as China looked at him with some concern, "our mother hired Sara Lance as our bodyguard." Oliver started as China interrupted him.

"That shouldn't be a problem, she's just a cop who disappeared before coming back." China said, wondering why that was a problem.

"I know that China. The problem is that she knew who Shado is and wants to join our crusade." Oliver finished his statement as China looked at Shado and asked if she agreed with Sara joining. Shado told China she did as they called Sara into the room. When Sara walked into the room she got a look at China and let out a laugh.

"Oh this is great. Two high ranking Triad members in a relationship with Oliver. I'm guessing that since you're here Oliver is the Jade Dragon of the Triad." Sara said deducing just who Oliver was. China raised an eyebrow at Sara's statement.

"I like her Oliver. She's good. Now how did you know who Shado was and who the Jade Dragon is?" China asked Sara already, taking a liking to her.

"Allow me to properly introduce myself." Sara started as the three looked at her. "My true identity is Taer Al-Safer. I am Nyssa Al-Ghul's personal assassin and spy. She tells me where to go and what I have to do. She is also my companion." Sara said, shocking the three of them. Oliver knew who the league of assassins were. They were the only group the Triad didn't target as they were afraid of Ra's Al-Ghul and him bringing all his forces down on them. Oliver wondered how Sara came across them and why she joined them. China looked at Shado and Oliver and said, "I'm up for her joining us. Welcome to our team. Our goal is to eradicate the other gangs and let the Triad take over." Oliver said, telling Sara the goal. "If the league ever needs you to do anything here we will help out if you help us."

"Actually, the only reason I came back was for a mission. There is a former league member gone rogue somewhere in the city. Nyssa sent me here to see if I could find them. Once I do, she will come help me take them out." Sara said, stating what she was doing. They now had two missions, but first they had to go to the courthouse.


"Welcome to your training room. This is where I and one other will train you to become one of the best fighters in the world." Oliver looked around the room China led him into. There was already someone inside the room. She was a petite Asian woman with dark hair. She was sitting at a grinding wheel sharpening some arrows. She looked up as China walked him into the room. {You have a new play toy I see.} The woman said while looking at him. {Why is he in our training area?} She asked China in mandarin. Oliver had no idea what they were saying, but from the look on the woman's face it wasn't kind about him.

{Your father sees as much potential in him as he did me. I didn't question and decided that we would train him. Who knows, he may become just as good as us.} China said, answering Shado's question. Shado decided to introduce herself to Oliver.

"My name is Shado Gulong. China and I will help you train. You will live with us until you have completed your training. You will learn long range weapons from me and close combat from China." We start your training in half an hour. Warm up and get ready for hell.


Oliver, Shado, and Sara were walking out of the courthouse after getting Oliver's death in abstentia ruling removed. They were talking about random things with Shado trying to get to know Sara when they ran into Laurel. Laurel looked at Oliver in shock before moving to hug him. "I'm sorry Oliver. I'm so sorry. It's my fault you got on the plane." Laurel said while sobbing into his shoulder. Oliver pushed her away before looking her in the eyes.

"It's not your fault Laurel. Yes we broke and I got on the plane, but it was my decision to get on the plane. I was already going on the trip anyways. You had no idea what was going to happen." Oliver said while pulling Laurel back into a quick hug. Laurel pulled back and saw that Sara and another woman were with Oliver.

"Why don't you come over to my apartment later this week. We can catch up then. In the meantime, I have to help here with her case against Martin Summers. I'll see you later." Laurel before walking off with following her.


Oliver and China were in a dark area in a car park looking over Martin Summers' car. They look at each other and smirk at the easy target. Martin Summers had become defiant to the Triad. He had gotten lax in delivering his payments and they decided to take him out and replace him. "Ready to reveal that the vigilante has a partner now, love?" China asked Oliver with a smirk. Oliver just smiled at her before shooting one of his guards. Oliver was wearing a hood that matched Shado's except it was black. He had Kevlar armor underneath and a quiver strapped to his back filled with custom arrows. China had taken Shado's hood as Shado rarely went out with them. She mainly stayed behind for support and any healing needed if they got hit.

When the arrow hit the guard, killing him, he jumped down with China following behind him. Martin Summers had his car window broken and he was pulled out of it. He looked up scared to see someone with a black hood similar to that of the vigilante. He saw something move behind the cloak character and saw the vigilante himself. He was scared shitless now. "You have failed the Triad ." The vigilante spoke up as the other figure pressed a knife against his neck. "This is my new partner." the vigilante continued, "He will be helping me from now on. The man that had the knife pressed to his knife spoke up. "You will transfer $70 million to Starling city bank account 1411 by tomorrow night."

"What are you going to do?" Martin said in a snarky tone, gaining some confidence. That confidence was immediately replaced with fear as the man pushed the knife harder against his throat drawing some blood.

"We're going to take it and you're not going to like how." The man said before knocking him out. As Summers lost consciousness, he saw the two vigilantes kiss before heading off into the darkness.


A/N: Another chapter is done. So Sara reveals her place as a league of assassin member. She has also joined the team to help out every now and then. Laurel doesn't hate Oliver and will meet Shado in the next chapter. Any reviews are appreciated and I'm thankful for the support I have gotten from you guys.
