From Killer to Hero
Oliver already had a lot on his plate being Star City mayor, but as Oliver walked towards his office that day, he didn't expect to see Captain Lance waiting for him and as they were walking towards his office together, Oliver looked at Captain Lance and smiled as he said, "Captain, what can I do you for this morning? I wasn't expecting to see you on my way to the office."
Captain Lance looked back at Oliver as he replied,"Yeah, well Oliver I wouldn't have bothered you if this wasn't something that was more of your….specialty. I've had reports come in about a string of homicides done by a person wearing all black, do you think your pal Malcom could have something behind this?"
Oliver looked at Captain Lance as he said, "Malcom wouldn't kill without a reason. I'll look into this and I'll let you know if I find something."
They eventually reached Oliver's office and Captain Lance smiled at Oliver as he replied,"Cheers Oliver, I'll do some digging as well at the precinct and see what I can find on this person, the last thing we need is another crazed wackjob on the loose."
When Oliver entered his office, he was greeted by his sister Thea as she smiled at him and said, "Well, that sounded like a fun conversation with Captain Lance. Anything I need to know about?"
Oliver smiled at his sister as he replied, "Captain Lance has had reports of homicides caused by someone wearing all black and he thought your father might have something to do with them. I told him we would look into it for him."
Thea then looked at her brother as she said, "My dad and you may not be friends or whatever, but even I know he wouldn't do something like this without a reason, we heading out on patrol tonight?"
Oliver sat down at his desk as he looked at Thea and replied,
"Yeah, we are going on patrol tonight. But let's just get through today first, we still don't have any information on who Prometheus could be."
Meanwhile in Nada Parbat…
Nyssa Al gul was busy sparring with one of her League members by the Lazarus pit. The woman she was sparring with wore an all black leather studded outfit, and when the woman was knocked to the floor, Nyssa held out her hand and smiled as she said, "You've shown great promise Miriam, and your skills have improved greatly these past weeks. but they aren't good enough to topple me yet."
Miriam knelt before Nyssa and bowed her head as she replied, "Thank you, I live to serve the League my liege." before she then took Nyssa's hand as she pulled her up to her feet. Nyssa smiled at Miriam as she recalled, "When you first came to the league, you were but a little girl. but now weeks and years of training has turned you into a stone cold killer. No longer are you the scared little girl I once knew, you are now a killer who kills without hesitation." before Nyssa then said, "But enough of the past, I have something for you."
Miriam kneeled before Nyssa once more and bowed her head as she asked, "What is it you ask of me, my liege."
Nyssa smirked as she looked at Miriam as she replied, "You are to head to Star City, there you are to eliminate your target who goes by the name of Prometheus. his deeds cannot go unpunished by the League."
Miriam then looked up at Nyssa as she said, "Of course my liege, the League's will shall be done." before she then asked, "But what of Oliver queen?"
Nyssa smiled as she replied, "If Oliver wishes to interfere in League business, then you have orders to eliminate him as well. Do I make myself clear?"
Miriam nodded her head as she said, "Yes my liege, I shall leave at once." before she then stood up and made her way towards her chambers to prepare for her mission.
Back in Star City...
Inside the Arrow base, Oliver and the others were gearing up and getting ready to go on patrol, Felicity sat at the computer as she smiled and said, "You better have each's backs out there, I don't want any of you coming back here and telling me that one of you is dead because you couldn't look out for each other, got it?"
John smiled as he replied,
"Loud and clear Felicity, alright people let's move."
While Oliver and the others checking out a warehouse, Felicity was checking the security cameras as well as the layout of the warehouse on the computer, everything seemed to be fine so far until Felicity saw some red dots pop up on her screen and she said to the others over the comms, Guys, you've got company, looks like they're headed your way from the second floor."
John replied,
"Got it, we'll keep our eyes out."
Soon Oliver and the others found themselves fighting some street thugs, once the thugs were dealt with, Oliver and the others looked like they were ready to head back when they suddenly began coughing as smoke began filling the room and Oliver looked up to see a figure of woman dressed in all black, before the woman looked at Oliver as a few more women appeared next to her.
Oliver then looked at the woman as he said, "Who are you?" he could tell from looking at the woman she was wearing a mask to conceal her face,
the woman looked back at Oliver as she replied,"Who I am isn't important, but I ask you to drop your pursuit of Prometheus."
Thea aimed her bow at the woman ready to fire an arrow, but Oliver looked at Thea as he said to her calmly, "Thea, stand down. we don't know what their intentions are yet." before he then looked back at the woman dressed in black as he said to her, "Why? Why do you not want us to go after Prometheus?"
The woman then looked at Oliver as she said, "It's not your concern, but Prometheus will be dealt with."
Thea scowled at the woman, "Not our concern? Like hell it isn't our concern! We're gonna stop Prometheus! It's not up for people like you to tell us otherwise!"
Oliver looked at Thea as he said with a slightly firm tone, "Thea, that's enough!"
Thea looked back at Oliver as she answered back,
"No Ollie, these weirdos just showed up outta nowhere and are trying to tell us to stop going after Prometheus. It's obvious they are working with Prometheus!"
Before Thea then fired an arrow at the woman, and the woman sliced the incoming arrow in half with her sword, which shocked Thea and the others before they then ended up fighting with the masked women as Oliver began throwing punches and kicks, but the woman he was fighting blocked and dodged most of his strikes before she threw a few punches and kicks of her own.
Oliver tried his best to defend against the incoming strikes, but most of them managed to find a home against his jaw and his ribs, before his leg was kicked out from under him forcing him to a knee before he then caught a boot across his jaw knocking him to the floor before the woman placed her foot on Oliver's chest as she looked down at him as she warned, "I will warn you once and once only, continue your pursuit of Prometheus and you will become my enemy and I will not hesitate to strike you down."
The rest of Oliver's team quickly joined him on the ground before the woman disappeared after throwing a smoke bomb, Felicity said to Oliver and the others over the comms in a slightly panicked tone, "Are guys ok? what happened?"
Oliver groaned a little as he sat up and looked at Thea as he replied, "We'll fill you in when we get back."
Later…
When Oliver and the others returned, Felicity looked at all of them as she said, "So...anyone wanna explain to me what the hell just happened out there tonight?"
Oliver looked at Felicity as he replied, "Things...didn't go exactly according to plan out there, we encountered a group that were highly trained in hand to hand combat but, I had the situation under control until Thea let her emotions get the better of her."
John Diggle then looked at Oliver as he said, "Yeah, whoever this group was. they clearly didn't want us going after Prometheus. But I did recognize the fact they were wearing similar uniforms to the League of assassins. Wanna explain to us why the league is after Prometheus, Oliver?"
Oliver looked at the others as he replied, "I was just as shocked as you guys were that the league is here in Star City. I don't know why the League is targeting Prometheus. Laurel, maybe you could ask your sister Sara if she knows anything about why the league is after Prometheus."
Laurel then looked at Oliver as she replied, "Oh sure Ollie, I'll ask my sister why her former lover decided to send her friends to kick our asses tonight." the sarcasm in her voice was obvious.
Oliver looked at the others as he said, "Clearly we need to go back to training so that we are ready for when we next encounter the League."
After Laurel and John had left, Oliver walked over to Thea as he looked at her and said, "Can we talk about what happened out there tonight? Those League members weren't hostile towards us until you made them hostile. Is this kinda thing gonna keep happening?"
Thea rolled her eyes at her brother, "What is there to talk about Ollie? You said it yourself earlier, I let my emotions get the better of me and I'm not going to let that happen again while we are out there, ok? Are you done lecturing me now?"
