Chapter 3: The Enemy of my Enemy
Oliver was with the others inside the Arrow base as he said to Felicity, "Felicity, I need you to find any information on our mystery League woman. Contact me if you find anything."
Felicity smiled at Oliver and replied,
"Sure, I'll see what I can find on our mystery League woman."
Oliver then looked at the others as he said to them, "As for the rest of us, we need to be ready for if we encounter the League or Prometheus again. That means training."
John looked at Oliver as he said, "Ok, but while we're doing that Oliver, what are you supposed to do." Oliver looked at John and replied,
"I'm going to try and give our city hope and reassure them that it will be safe to walk our streets. I have to do something as the Mayor."
After Oliver walked into his office, his District Attorney Miranda smiled at Oliver as she said, "Are you ready to give your speech Mr. Queen?"
Oliver smiled and nodded his head at Miranda and replied,
"Ready as ever to give our people hope and unite them."
Oliver then made his way towards the podium and cleared his throat as he said to the crowd, "Our City streets are getting dangerous, and I want my people to be able to walk the streets at night without fear of their lives. Which is why I will do everything within my power to bring Prometheus to justice! Our streets will be safe once again!"
The crowd cheered Oliver as he walked away from the podium and Captain Lance smiled at Oliver and said,
"I have to say Oliver, that was one hell of a speech you gave up there. I just hope you actually believe what you said about making our streets safe again."
Oliver smiled at Captain Lance as he nodded his head and replied,
"I do. I wouldn't have said what I said if I didn't believe in myself that we could keep our city streets safe."
Later…
Miriam was pacing back and forth in front of her fellow League members as she said, "Tonight my brothers and sisters, is the night we take down Prometheus once and for all! and if Mr. Queen gets in our way then we shall take him out as well. For the League!"
The other League members raised their swords in the air as they shouted in unison,
"For the League!"
Before Miriam and rest of the League members spread out in search of Prometheus and Felicity contacted Oliver over the comms as she said, "Oliver, the League is on the move. Oh and I found out the name of our mystery League woman who had been kicking our ass the past two nights. Her name is Miriam."
Oliver then replied,
"Just Miriam? She doesn't have a last name?"
Felicity shook her head as she said, "Nope. Not that I could find anyway."
Oliver nodded his head and replied,
"Okay, tell the others to suit up."
A few minutes later, Prometheus locked eyes with Miriam on top of a rooftop as they stared at each other before Prometheus said,
"The Green Arrow is mine!"
Miriam looked back at Prometheus as she pointed her sword at him as she shot back,
"I'm not interested in Mr. Queen, because you are my prey. Adrian Chase, your deeds will not go unpunished by the League!"
Oliver then landed on a nearby fan and pointed his bow at Prometheus as he said, "Adrian Chase, you have failed this city!"
Miriam glanced at Oliver as she said, "Step aside Mr. Queen, Adrian Chase is mine!"
Oliver shook his head at Miriam and replied,
"Miriam, what your doing isn't justice. You are taking the lives of people that you don't have the right to take. I can bring Adrian to justice, true justice. and make him pay for his crimes."
Miriam then pointed her sword at Oliver and scowled as she said, "You dare question the League Mr. Queen? You have your way of delivering justice and I have mine. The League's will shall be done!"
Prometheus took the open opportunity and swung his sword at Miriam but Miriam noticed it out of the corner of her eye and countered Prometheus's incoming strike and disarmed him. Oliver fired an arrow at Miriam but Miriam deflected it with her sword, before Oliver then ran at Miriam and all three of them traded kicks with each other.
Meanwhile, Felicity said to the others over the comms, "Guys, you gotta move, Oliver needs back up. He's fighting both Prometheus and Miriam on a rooftop. Speedy, he should be close to your location as your the closest."
Thea nodded her head as she said, "Got it Felicity, I have eyes on Ollie. Making my way over to him now." before she then started jumping from rooftop to rooftop as she made her way over towards where her brother was fighting.
Miriam then tried swinging her sword at Oliver but Oliver blocked it with his bow and countered with a kick to her ribs knocking her back a little before Oliver then ducked under Prometheus's punch but was knocked onto his back by Prometheus's leg sweep, before Prometheus then rolled under Miriam's punch as he picked up his sword.
Thea then soon joined the fight as she fired an arrow at Miriam, but Miriam deflected it before she kicked Thea in her ribs knocking her back a little as she coughed. Prometheus threw some shurikens towards Thea but Miriam deflected them, leaving Thea stunned before Miriam looked at Thea and said,
"This is not your fight little one, you should leave before you get hurt."
Meanwhile Oliver and Prometheus were busy fighting each other before Prometheus knocked Oliver onto his back with a leg sweep and pointed his sword at him as he said, "I'm going to expose you for who you really are. I'm going to show you that everything you touch dies!"
Miriam charged at Prometheus as the two began clashing swords against each other as Miriam looked at Prometheus as she said to him,
"Tonight, you die for your crimes!"
Oliver then looked at his sister Thea as he asked, "You ok speedy?" Thea looked back at her brother and nodded her head and replied,
"Yeah, I'm ok Ollie. But...I probably wouldn't have been if it wasn't for Miriam."
Prometheus and Miriam continued to clash swords and trade kicks with each other before Oliver then screamed at Miriam as she prepared to thrust her sword into Prometheus's chest,
"Miriam, wait!"
But Miriam stabbed Prometheus in his chest causing him to drop to his knees before she removed his mask as she said in Arabic, "Forgive and have mercy upon him... Excuse him and pardon him... Make honorable his reception... Protect him from the punishment of the grave... And the torment of fire."
Thea gasped in shock and Miriam looked at both Oliver and Thea as she said, "An innocent man's blood was spilled tonight. but it will not happen again. I will get my hands on Prometheus and he will pay for his crimes!"
Oliver then looked at Miriam as he scolded, "This is not justice! The League kill because they choose to, not because they need to. Prometheus will be stopped." Miriam scowled at Oliver as she replied,
"You have your way of Justice Mr. Queen and I have mine! I live to serve the League and the League's will shall be done! Prometheus will die by my blade, and if you get in my way again I will cut you down as well! Do not interfere with League business."
Before Miriam then disappeared after throwing a smoke bomb and Thea looked at her brother as she said to him, "Maybe...maybe Miriam isn't as bad as we first thought." Oliver looked back at Thea and replied,
"You were careless! When you are in the field I need your head in the game Thea. You could have been killed!"
Thea then shot back at her brother,
"But I wasn't because of Miriam! She saved me! Why can't you see that there may be something good in Miriam, Ollie."
Oliver scowled at his sister as he scolded,
"Miriam, unintentionally protected you! If she knew you were Prometheus's target, she wouldn't have protected you!"
Thea scowled back at her brother as she shot back,
"You just don't want to admit that Miriam might not be as bad as we first thought she was! People can change Ollie, you just don't want to admit to yourself that I might have a point!"
Before Thea then stormed away from her brother, leaving him standing alone on the rooftop looking stunned from his sister's comment, before he then slowly followed after her as he made his way back to his base.
