Connor Queen arrived just in time hearing his mother's words. Nora's timing was off. He would have to work quickly. "What the hell?" his father cried at his sudden appearance.
"Please, trust me. Laurel Lance will suffer a fatal embolism within minutes if I don't do this" Connor pleaded with his father. Oliver's eyes went to Laurel then quickly back to the man dressed in Green Arrow costume.
"I'm dying?"
"Yes, M…Laurel, the timeline has been charged. Meddling with the timeline has changed things for the worst. But the timeline hasn't solidified yet. It can still be repaired" Connor said, holding a syringe.
Laurel didn't know why she trusted him but she did. "Ollie, let him. I trust" she said as she coughed and seized up. "Laurel!" Oliver cried moving aside letting the stranger do his work.
Connor worked quickly injecting the syringe directly into Laurel's heart. "Please Mom Olivia and I need you. Please Mom" he whispered. Within seconds the seizure stopped. Connor breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning to his father "It's over she should be all right now" at least he hoped. This wasn't over yet the timeline was still in flux. Oliver put his hands on the man's shoulders "Thank you" he.
"Trust me it was nothing. I only ask the two of you to be more honest with your feelings" Connor turned back to his mother and smiled. It was now up to Olivia to keep her safe. Mia was still out there. With the timeline corrected his half-sisters' very existence was at its end.
Mia stares down her sister from another timeline. She didn't have the luxury of a speedster friend. "Olivia, this is foolish. Let me pass" Olivia shook her head "The survival of the whole Multiverse is at stake Mia. You know very well our timeline holds the best chance of reverting it"
Mia snarled "You don't know that. Now let me pass. I have to stop your foolish brother" Olivia took a step forward aiming her bow. Knowing she was at disadvantage Mia was the better archer as well as a more skilled fighter.
They both fired. As their battle commenced in the heart of the Time Bureau. Both Olivia and Mia's very existence remains in the balance. Until Oliver made his choice or Laurel died the timeline would remain fluid.
"You can't win, Olivia I'm more skilled. With the meta-human dampeners your Canary cry is useless" Olivia frowned knowing she was right now. Please Connor hurry, she thought. As her bow was sent flying. A second later she was on the floor bloody and beaten.
"Olivia, I'm sorry Dinah Laurel Lance has to die," Mia said as she opened the time portal. "No!" Olivia screams, tackling Mia as they both tumbled through the time portal. Only to appear in the hall just outside Laurel's room.
"You bitch" Mia hollered. Olivia smiled once she realized Connor had done it she had done it. Laurel hadn't died. She had held off Mia long enough for her brother to do his work.
Mia drew her bow. Not noticing her father standing next to Connor with a stunned look on his face "No!" Oliver cried moving towards his unknown daughter disarming her with one quick motion.
Using so much force it left her slump against the wall on the floor unconscious. By this time the whole Team Arrow had arrived taking in the commotion.
Felicity, what's the first to speak, looking confused at the unconscious blonde dressed as the Green Arrow "What the hell happened?" Oliver looking at his ex-fiance. "Connor here just saved Laurel's life. That's all I know I that all that matters right now"
He placed his hand on the young man's shoulder. "Thank you" he whispered. Meanwhile, Olivia just stared at her older brother silently thanking him. They had completed their mission, mama was still alive. The only worry Mia still laid unconscious on the hospital floor.
Felicity now on her knees pulled the unconscious woman's mask off. Only to fall backward and scramble away. "It's not possible, it's not possible" she kept repeating. The young woman had an unmistakable combination of hers and Oliver's features.
Olivia recognizing this drew her bow. Pointing it at Felicity. And snarled "Make any sudden movements and you're dead" At this Oliver moved to defend his ex. Only to be stopped by the young man. "Don't worry we won't hurt her and let's try this thing stupid. Even though she deserves it"
Oliver, moving quickly, grabbed the blonde's bow and quiver. Drawing an arrow ordered the young couple to move against the wall. "Alright, someone tell me what the hell is going on?"
"Connor, don't think I didn't hear you whisper mom. Who are you really?" It was Olivia who answered. "isn't it obvious Dad we're your children from the future yours and Laurels"
Felicity stepped forward by Oliver. " I don't understand, the three of you are Oliver and Laurel's children. Why are you fighting and why does she have a mix of mine and Oliver features?"
Connor answered. "The timeline is influx thanks for the interference of speedsters the time Masters and to a lesser extent the legends"
Oliva took over "Aunt Sara was never meant to exist; she didn't in the original timeline. The time Masters changed history Dinah Laurel Lance was always meant to be a single child. The great love of Laurel Lance and all Oliver Queen is known throughout time the two of you were meant to get back together not long after the undertaking"
Oliver stood there trembling, lowering his bow. Olivia continued. "The Time Masters manipulated Felicity's life for the two of you would cross paths. In this instance Felicity is innocent. However, she's guilty of a great many things"
Oliver looked to Felicity then to Laurel then back to the young duo. "Who's she?" Looking at Mia. "She is our half-sister your child with Felicity"
Thea now spoke "You mean Ollie, must choose between Laurel or Felicity that's why the three of you still exist. The timeline hasn't been sent yet my brother hasn't made his choice" Thea took several steps placing herself closer to Laurel her choice was easy.
John pulled Felicity from the floor. "Oliver, from what I see here these two are the ones trying to change time. They prevented Laurel's death."
Oliver stepping back closes his eyes. Remembering Laurel's words. Despite all he had done sleeping with Sara, treating her horribly after Tommy's death, refusing to train her, getting engaged to Felicity despite it all, she still loved him, what type of love that must be.
Then looking towards Felicity seen her standing there with John's hand on her shoulder. She had left him when he most needed support when he sent William away. She criticized him for keeping William secret but he had no choice the only way he would be a part of his life. How could you not understand that?
Laurel did and she was the real victim in this. He had cheated on her and got another woman pregnant. Yet Laurel understood despite her own hurt and feelings of betrayal. This wasn't really a choice.
"Laurel"
"I chose Laurel"
