Tommy and Laurel were standing in the corner of the room talking when Tommy felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a man standing there. "Are you Tommy Merlyn" the man asked.
Tommy looked at Laurel who just shrugged her shoulders. "Yea. Who wants to know" he said.
"My name is Hamza Abdullah and it is very important I talk to your father" Hamza said.
Tommy shook his head. "I don't talk to my father but you can call his office I'm sure they'll be able to set up a meeting" he said.
"I already tried his office but they said he was out of the city. I figured his son could get me into contact with him" Hamza said.
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but I don't know where he is" Tommy said.
"Why do you want him" Laurel asked.
Hamza took out a scroll and unrolled it. "This is the shadow record and his name is on it so I just wanted to talk to him" Hamza said.
Tommy and Laurel looked at the scroll. "There's nothing there" Laurel said. Hamza took out a lighter.
Hamza held the lighter under the scroll and lighting appeared on the scroll. "See your father's name is clearly on the scroll and I need to talk to him" Hamza said.
Tommy and Laurel looked at the scroll confused. "I don't see his name" Tommy said.
Hamza pointed to a name on the paper. "That's your father's name" he said pointing to the name. Tommy and Laurel both looked at the name Hamza was pointing to. Al Sa-her.
"That's not my father's name. My father's name is Malcolm Merlyn" Tommy said.
Hamza looked at Tommy shocked. "You don't know what your father's been up to do you" he asked.
Tommy looked at Hamza confused. "I cut ties with my father a couple years ago" Tommy said.
Hamza shut the lighter put it away and rolled up the scroll and put that away also. "If I were you I would be careful of your father" Hamza said.
"Why" Laurel asked.
"Let's just say that his father is involved with some very dangerous people and if he's not careful he could get hurt" Hamza said.
"I knew it. Listen my father in law is a cop and he's here. Would you mind telling him what you just told me" Tommy asked.
"Tommy what are you doing" Laurel asked.
"Getting my father out of our lives for good" he said to Laurel.
At the building across the street Deadshot still had his gun pointed at Oliver. Oliver walked over to Moira and Thea and Deadshot moved his gun from aiming at Oliver to aiming at Walter. "Hi" Oliver said as he reached his mother and sister.
"Oliver, what a wonderful surprise" Moira said. Oliver motioned for Diggle to come over. Diggle walked over.
"I need you to get them out of here right now" Oliver said to Diggle. Deadshot turned his red laser on and Quentin noticed it pointed at Walter who was busy reading a pamphlet. Deadshot got ready to fire as Quentin ran over toward Walter. Deadshot fired as Quentin ran to Walter pushing him out of the way. Everybody screamed as a waiter was shot down. Another bullet was fired and Hamza was shot down.
"Oh my god" Laurel screamed.
"Down" someone screamed.
"Get down" another man screamed.
Tommy and Laurel ducked down. "Where's my father" Laurel asked.
"I'll go find him. Get outside" Tommy said kissing Laurel. She ran out of the room.
Oliver, Moira, Diggle and Thea were all ducking. Deadshot shot again and another man was gunned down. Oliver got Thea out of the room. "Are you OK" he asked checking her over.
"Yea" Thea answered as Diggle and Moira walked up to them.
Oliver looked at his mother. "Are you hurt" he asked.
"No I'm fine. Where's Walter" Moira asked as Oliver saw Quentin rushing Walter out of the room.
"Walter's fine" Oliver said.
"Sir, I have to get you out of here" Diggle said.
"No them" Oliver said pointing at Diggle letting him know he was serious. "Them" Oliver said again before running off. Tommy saw Oliver run away. Where was he going? He had to get out of the building. Tommy ran after his friend.
Diggle pulled Moira and Thea out of the building. "Go, I'll find him, I'll find him" Diggle said to Moira who was worried about Oliver.
"Please, get my son" Moira cried.
Diggle nodded. "I'll bring him back. Don't worry" Diggle said running back into the building.
Oliver ran up the stairs as fast as he could. He got to the garbage can where he stored the suit and took out the duffle bag that held it. He pulled it out and ran up the stairs. Tommy reached the garbage can and saw the top was off. He looked inside it. Nothing. What did Oliver want out of the garbage can. "Mr. Merlyn" Tommy heard his name called as Diggle ran up the stairs with his gun drawn.
"Diggle what are you doing here" Tommy asked.
"I'm looking for Mr. Queen. What about you" Diggle asked.
"Apparently the same thing. I followed Oliver up these stairs and noticed he took something out of the garbage can. He ran up those stairs and I was going to follow him and try to get him to leave" Tommy said as Diggle looked in the garbage can. He also didn't see anything.
"Get out of here. I'll get Mr. Queen" Diggle said.
"I'm coming with you" Tommy said.
Diggle shook his head. "Leave now Mr. Merlyn" Diggle said running up the stairs. Tommy shook his head and ran up the stairs after Diggle.
Oliver got dressed in his suit and shot an arrow to the building across the street. Deadshot heard something hit the wall outside. Oliver ziplined over to the building and crashed through the window. Deadshot looked over and saw the vigilante roll over on the floor across the room. He started shooting at the vigilante. Oliver ran behind a beam and shot an arrow which missed. He went back behind the beam as Deadshot continued shooting at him. Oliver shot another arrow which missed again. Oliver got back behind the beam as Deadshot stopped shooting. Deadshot slowly came out from his hiding place and started walking to where the vigilante was hiding. He reached the beam and walked around it and was surprised to see the vigilante was gone. He started walking looking around for where the vigilante was hiding. All of a sudden he was kicked from behind. He grunted as he fell to the floor. Deadshot quickly got up.
Oliver kicked him again through some scaffolding that was in the building. Oliver climbed over it as Deadshot started shooting again. Oliver grabbed Deadshot and flipped off the scaffolding sending him flying into a table. Deadshot gets up and tries to punch Oliver but he stops the punch with his bow. Oliver punches him in the face pushes his fist away. Deadshot tries to punch him again but Oliver grabs his fist and holds it. Oliver punches him in the face, the side and the leg. He lets go of his wrist. Deadshot tries to punch him again but misses. Oliver grabs him and pins him against a beam. He uses his bow to start choking him. Deadshot punches his arm where he shot Oliver and Oliver yells out in pain. Deadshot kicks Oliver which makes him loosen his grip on him. Deadshot pushes down on Oliver's arm and grabs Oliver's bow throwing across the room. Oliver grabs Deadshot and throws him back. He runs and grabs his bow and gets behind a beam. Deadshot points his gun looking around the room for the vigilante.
"Drop your gun" Oliver said from his hiding spot.
"I admire your work. Guess you won't be extending me any professional courtesy" Deadshot said.
"We're not in the same line of work. Your profession is murder" Oliver said.
"You've taken lives" Deadshot said.
"For the good of others. You're out for yourself" Oliver said. Deadshot started shooting his gun. Oliver loaded and arrow and quickly came out from behind the beam and shot the arrow at Deadshot. Oliver went back behind the beam and heard Deadshot fall to the floor. Oliver stood behind the beam for a moment. He slowly came out and saw Deadshot laying on the floor. He slowly walked over to him. Oliver looked down at him and saw that the arrow was sticking out of Deadshot's eyepatch. Oliver heard two groans behind him and loaded an arrow turning around. He saw Tommy and Diggle leaning against the wall both barely able to stand. Oliver ran over to them. He grabbed them and got them out of the building.
Lian Yu
Oliver was trapped in the net unconscious. The man who shot him was standing in front of the net with a knife. Oliver woke up and gasped when he saw the man with the knife in front of him. "Fool. This place is too dangerous for one man to be alone" he said in Chinese. Oliver looked around still trying to fully wake up. He walked over to the tree and cut Oliver down. Oliver grunted as he fell to the ground still in the net. "They'll kill you" the man said in Chinese. Oliver looked at the man as he walked away. Oliver tried to untangle himself from the net. Oliver heard a branch break as he got up and looked over to where he heard it. He rolled out of the net and walked away.
Present
Oliver brought Tommy and Diggle to the lair. He laid them down on two tables. He opened his trunk and took out the small pouch. He poured the herb into a bowl. He poured some water into the bowl and started mixing it. He poured the cure into two cups. He ran over and had Tommy drink from the first cup, then Diggle. They both started coughing after they were done and then they fell unconscious. Oliver walked away and waited until the cure worked it's way through their system and they woke up. He took off his mask and pulled down his hood down. He also took out the bullets and patched up their wounds. About an hour later both Tommy and Diggle woke up. They looked at their chests and saw that their wounds were patched up. Tommy slowly sat up. He was still in pain from the gunshots. Diggle tried to sit up but coughed and laid back down. Diggle rolled over his vision was still a little foggy. Tommy rubbed his eyes to try to get his vision straight. Oliver sat up from his chair and walked over to the two of them. Diggle's vision finally came back into focus and Tommy stopped rubbing his eyes and stared in shock not believing what he was seeing. "Hey" Oliver said. Tommy and Diggle stared at him in disbelief. This couldn't be real could it? Oliver Queen was the masked vigilante.
