Nyssa watched as her father and Oliver fought. There was something wrong about this whole situation. She knew that Sara had been happier once she realised that she couldn't go back. Life had taught her to be a certain way, an assassin. The other huge problem was Oliver; he wouldn't have killed his ex-girlfriend. She remembered his face when Sara was dying after she took the poison. She had to make sure that he lived. If it was the last thing, she did Nyssa had to find out what actually happened. Whoever murdered Sara would pay for it.
She watched as Oliver finally lost the battle. Nyssa walked over and congratulated her father. Once he was surrounded by others Nyssa made her escape. She headed back down the mountain through secret passages. She knew exactly where Oliver would have landed. Her father did like to fight here a lot. It wouldn't be far from the Lazarus Pit. That was something she was thankful for. She still had to get him there quickly/
The assassin reached Oliver's body. She was the only one who had worked out that the pit could be used more than once. That was something her father still didn't know. This was something that she kept in case it was needed as a bargaining chip. Nyssa had checked he was barely breathing and grunted as she tried to move him. It wouldn't be long before he was dead. She tried once again to move him. Oliver really was solid muscle.
'Do you need some help?' A male voice spoke from behind her.
Nyssa turned and smiled at him. Her hand already on her knife. 'Why do you want to help me?'
'Just like you I do not believe that Oliver killed Sara. I would like to find out who the real culprit is. I also want to make sure that the league gets its due.' Maseo looked down at Oliver. 'He's a good man.'
'I agree with you. You may help me.' She took his legs, while he took his arms and they slowly made their way into a cave towards the Lazarus Pit.

It took them a little while, but they finally managed to get Oliver to the hidden cave.
'A Lazarus Pit.' Maseo whispered he had heard about them, but had never seen one. He actually never knew anyone who had until now. 'You do realise what will happen to him when he comes back?'
'I do. I need to keep him unconscious until I get to Starling City. I then need to lock him up until the insanity leaves him.' Nyssa knew what the problems were, but she would do anything to find out who killed her lover and get her revenge.
'I will help as much as I can. I will not lie to your father if he asks me though.'
She turned and laughed at him. 'Do you think he doesn't already know that I am gone, and what I plan on doing?'
Maseo nodded, he knew that Ra's would know by now. 'I will help you get him into the water, and then I must leave. There will be others that will notice my absence.' He knew that Nyssa had a lot more freedom then he did. There were not many that would question the heir to the demon. The two of them then managed to slide Oliver into the pool of coloured liquid.
'Once he awakens I will use a drug that will confuse his mind. I will keep the insanity away for a little while. I have made arrangements for a ship; his belonging and passport have already been collected.'
'If I can I will be back to help you get him on the vessel.' Maseo nodded and then disappeared into the darkness.
Nyssa just sat there and waited then slowly a groan came from the pool. She reached out and managed to help him out of the pool. Once he collapsed next to her she grabbed a flask, and dosed him up. Not only would he have insanity, but also increased strength. Oliver was dangerous enough generally. There was no way to know what the insanity would bring out in him. He was a dangerous man with a lot of anger, pain and betrayal. She didn't want to have to kill him before she founded out what she needed.

Ra's al Ghul knew that his beloved daughter Nyssa was up to something. He would let her carry on while it benefited him and the league. He too had his doubts that Oliver Queen killed Sara Lance. He wanted to know so that he could make sure that there wasn't someone else coming for them. He did have a feeling that this will lead him back to Malcolm Merlyn. That traitor's fingerprints were all over this, but he couldn't, no he wouldn't do anything until he knew for sure, and that is where Nyssa came in. If Oliver Queen somehow managed to survive and if the real culprit is found then he would live.

'Thea don't listen to her. She's only trying to cause problems.'
Felicity stared at him. I have caused you problems. I don't care about you. I would've been more than happy to leave you alone. You are the one that caused this because of you selfish need to make sure you protected Oliver might be dead.' She sobbed.
'Oliver came to see me. He was acting strangely. He told me not to trust you.' Thea turned and looked at Malcolm. She didn't want to believe it, but the heartbreak on Felicity's face was real. Deep down, she knew it was true. Oliver had come to speak to her. She couldn't believe how she had reacted to the things that he had said. Then the rest of the conversation hit her. 'You brainwashed me and you used me to kill Sara?'
'Sara's dead?' Quentin Lance asked from the doorway.
