The next day the team showed up at the lair to train. Oliver looked at Sara and asked "So, what do we have to look out for next?"

"Well the last time around, I went back to the league because we needed the help stopping Slade and his army. That was my payment for their help. I came back to the city on a mission and I ended up being killed. Nyssa came and found out about me being dead and she went back to her father telling him that you were protecting my killer. That made Ras keep an eye on you. You had only so long to find the real killer. Once you found out who it was, you challenged Ras to a duel to protect that person and you were nearly killed. There is a prophecy in the league that pretty much says if Ras does not kill you, you become the next Ras. That paraphrasing it. Anyways, you went undercover in the league and were trained by Ras himself. You both fought again, and you kill him that time." Sara said.

"Ok, that is a lot of information to take in. So, you died? How were you back alive in 2020 then?" Oliver asked as he and the rest of the team listened.

"A year later Laurel took me to the leader of the league, and they put me in the Lazarus Pit, which has magically water that Ras uses to heal himself. It can also bring a person back to life." Sara said.

"That is interesting. So, who killed you?" Laurel asked.

"That is harder to explain. The person who really killed me was under the power of a drug that pretty much leaves you doing whatever the other person tells you to do and then you don't remember anything afterwards." Sara said.

"So, this person didn't even know that they killed you?" Thea asked.

"No, they didn't, and when they didn't take it well." Sara said.

"Ok, so who was the person that drugged the killer?" Oliver asked.

"It was Malcolm Merlyn." Sara said.

Oliver had a bad feeling when he heard that. "Who killed you Sara?"

"I don't want to say, because it can't happen anymore." Sara said.

"We need to know though. So, we can make sure it doesn't happen." Oliver said.

"Ok, but this is going to be hard to hear." Sara said as she looked at Thea and that was all that he had to know.

"Why are you looking at me?" Thea said.

"Because it was you Speedy." Oliver said.

"What? I could never kill a friend of mine." Thea said.

"You didn't even know you did it. You took it very hard when you found out though." Sara said.

"Why would I do anything with Malcolm that would allow him close enough to me to let him drug me?" Thea asked.

"It happened right after we defeated Slade and his army. You were upset because Oliver had lied to you about knowing Slade on the island and also because he didn't tell you about Malcolm being your father. You were also mad at Roy because you found out he was working with the Arrow. You had no place to go, so you went with Malcolm and he trained you into the warrior that I remember you being in the future." Sara said.

"Why wouldn't I have just stayed with mom?" Thea asked.

"Your mom lied to you about Malcolm being your father as well, and she was killed by Slade before Oliver finally stopped him." Sara said.

"But if I knew that Oliver was the Arrow, why didn't I just stay with him and let him train me?" Thea asked.

"Oliver hadn't told you about him being a vigilante yet." Sara said.

"Ok, that makes sense then." Thea said.

"So, when did I become the Black Canary?" Laurel asked.

"Midway through Oliver's third year back. You did it to honor me." Sara said.

"Sounds like something I would do. So, do we not have to worry about the league since we know you are not dying this time?" Laurel asked.

"Unfortunately, I think we will have to worry about it. Ras has most likely been keeping an eye on me, which mean he has been keeping an eye on Ollie as well. He will be looking for an heir being that he will never give that power to Nyssa. Plus, at the end of the year Ras's nemesis will be in the city so he will come after him if nothing else." Sara said.

"So, what do we need to do to be prepared for this?" Oliver asked.

"I am going to train you in sword fighting. It's the only way that you can beat Ras." Sara said and Oliver nodded.

"So, what will happen if we do not here from Ras until he comes for his nemesis?" Laurel asked.

"He will have a toxin that he will release that will kill everyone in the city. We will have to hope that we get a message from him before that. We will need a person on the inside so that we will know that he is coming." Sara said.

"How will we get the inside man?" Laurel asked.

"We Ras makes Oliver the offer he will except. He will be our inside man." Sara said.

"We will also need some of your blood Oliver." Sara said.

"Why is that?" Oliver asked.

"You have the cure for the toxin." Sara said.

"I only have one cure in my body and that is for the Alpha/Omega bioweapon." Oliver said.

"Exactly, we will all need it so that it will not affect us." Sara said.

"How did Ras get that kind of weapon?" Oliver asked.

"An old friend of yours." Sara said.

"So that is where Maseo went? I always wondered." Oliver said.

"Yeah so we need to start preparing for all of this. I know it is a lot to take in, but if we have a plan everything will workout fine." Sara said.

"I hope so. What is this bioweapon anyways, and how does Ollie have a cure?" Laurel asked.

"My third year away I was in Hong Kong. The Triad was trying to get their hands on the bioweapon. We ended up stopping them and giving the weapon to a General that ended up being corrupt and he let the weapon out in the city. Anyways, Maseo, Tatsu, Akio, and I got the cure so that we were immune. It didn't end up working for Akio though and he ended up dying. I tortured the General because of this. Anyways, once we stopped the weapon, Maseo left and obviously joined the league, while Tatsu went her own way. I guess losing a child will do that to you." Oliver said.

"I remember hearing about some kind of problem in Hong Kong a few years back." Laurel said.

"That was where I was trying to stop it. They did a good job of covering it up though." Oliver said.

"Ok, that enough about this. Let's train and then we can go home for the night." Oliver said and everyone nodded.
