Elseworlds has happened, but Joe didn't get caught, if you're confused. Not sure about this chapter but I hope you will enjoy it.

"So, what brought you here, Slade?" Oliver asked, when he and Sara met with Slade in the bunker.

"I've been tracking Joe for a year and I'm certain he's coming here, if he hasn't already." Slade explained.

"What makes you think that?" Sara asked as Slade handed them a file.

"After that incident in Kasnia and when we brought the Jackals to the authorities, I've kept trying to reach him, but he knew how to keep staying one step ahead of me and whenever I got too close, he managed to slip away, so I've been trying to track him at the very least. And what I do know for certain that he's coming here with an army." Slade explained.

"An army of mercenaries." Oliver realized as he read the file.

"Worse than the Jackals. Ruthless. And he's been amassing a fortune and heavy weaponry. I'm certain he's coming here to finish what I started six years ago, as a revenge for Kasnia." Slade explained.

"Wait, you're telling us we might have another Siege on our hands?" Felicity demanded, horrified.

"Why is your son doing this?" Sara asked, not ungently as they saw the haunted look in his eyes.

"He saw me kill. Before the Mirakuru and it pushed him down a dark path." Slade said painfully as they felt a lot of sympathy for him.

"Well, I'll see if facial recognition can get anything on Kane Wolfman or the Jackals." Felicity said as she approached the computer.

Starling General

Dr. Schwartz was going out from the exam room, when an elderly man on a wheelchair, accompanied by a middle-aged man and a woman.

"Excuse, my husband needs help." The woman said.

Dr. Schwartz glanced at the man on the wheelchair. "Uh, did you check in at the desk?"

"We're donors here." The woman said.

Dr. Schwartz sighed as she handed her board to the orderly. "Hold this." She opened the shirt of the elderly man. "I'm just gonna have a look." She gasped in shock, when she saw something protruding from his stomach and a blinking red light as she widened her eyes in horror. "Run! Bomb!"

Star City

A man wearing a Deathstroke mask observed to see an explosion coming out from Starling General.

Later, the Lair

"Starling General was attacked last night after a bomb was found inside Archroyal Capital CEO MacMillan Fairfield. Authorities believe the infamous terrorist Deathstroke orchestrated the attack." The news anchor announced on TV.

"This was Joe." Slade said.

"And he's apparently imitating you to the T. Check this out." Felicity said as she pulled out the CCTV footage to see a group of armed men in an alley wearing Deathstroke masks.

"Why would your son kill him?" Sara wondered.

"It's an A.S.I.S. tactic. He's targeting the city's elite in an attempt to destabilize the city's infrastructure and cause chaos and fear. Politicians, one-percenters, anyone who runs the city." Slade said.

"Well, I have to give Deathstroke Jr. one thing, he's really good. Guess it runs in the family." Felicity said, glancing to Slade uncomfortably as the memory of him trying to kill her resurfaced. "He's been staying off-the-grid, I got nothing on CCTV cameras, asides from sighting of a Deathstroke at Starling General, then he vanished like a ghost.

"I'll check in with Dinah, see if the SCPD has something useful. John, see if Lyla and A.R.G.U.S. has something." Oliver ordered.

Diggle nodded as they went out.

"Curtis, I need you to take a look at this fabric." Oliver said as he turned to Curtis and handed him a plastic bag with a piece of fabric. "It was clipped by antimatter wave, when Earth-2 was destroyed. See if there's some technology here that has enough juice to do something like this."

"I can track down some equipment, it might… take a bit. So… you're basically asking me to find a weapon that can stop a god." Curtis said dryly.

"Pretty much." Oliver nodded as he turned to the rest. "The rest of you, hit the streets, you find something, don't engage, we'll do this together."

Later, SCPD

"Anything useful?" Oliver asked.

"Found this on the vic. What was left of him." Dinah said as she handed Oliver a plastic bag with a black piece of paper.

"I've seen this before. Slade told me it's an A.S.I.S. method of communication. Dinah, I need some black light." Oliver said as he approached the water dispenser and wetted the paper.

"We ran the inks on it already. No inks turned up." Dinah said.

"You checked it dry." Oliver explained as he showed Dinah the paper and she shone black light on it.

"WE WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED" Dinah read as she looked at Oliver worriedly. "How much do you want to bet that Kane is trying to recreate the Siege?"

"If that is true, we need to stop him before things get out of hand." Oliver said as he picked the paper. "You won't mind if I keep this? Felicity might be able to find something useful on it."

"Sure." Dinah nodded as Oliver left.

Later, Star City

"Felicity, are you sure this is the place?" Green Arrow asked as he and Team Arrow each entered the building from different entrances.

"Satellite imaging shows that the building has the highest concentration of the chemicals from the ink in that message." Felicity said.

Green Arrow, White Canary and Deathstroke entered a room, when suddenly, the doors slammed shut behind them and they noticed laser gunsights aiming at them from above.

"Well, well, well, isn't this a lovely reunion?" Joe taunted as he looked down upon them from the upper walkway, now wearing his own Deathstroke armor, accompanied by a group of men wearing Deathstroke masks and armed to the teeth and it was obvious to Oliver and Slade that it was another group of Jackals, considering their tactics.

"Kid, it ends here." Slade said.

"You're right. I will finish what you started. Oliver Queen turned his back on you and made you turn your back on me." Joe said with feigned hurt. "But it's not too late, father. The promise you made, I will fulfill. It's up to you, whether you're with me or against me."

"I've told you once, kid, I am not Deathstroke anymore and I'll be damned to hell before I let you go down the same path I did!" Slade snarled.

"So be it." Joe said as the Jackals opened fire and Oliver, Sara and Slade took cover. "I'll be more than happy to bury you here!"

Joe pulled out a detonator and pressed the trigger as they noticed a bomb beeping and Joe and the Jackals retreated.

"We have to get out of here!" Sara ordered.

"This'll buy us few seconds! On my mark!" Oliver said as he fired an arrow at the bomb and some freezing substance then slowed down the countdown and he picked a hard drive from a nearby desk. "Go!"

Oliver, Slade and Sara ran off and a moment after they went out, the room exploded.

"Like old times, right, kid?" Slade drawled.

"Maybe too much." Oliver grumbled.

Later, the Lair

"Six years ago, my father rained down terror on this city. He was shortsighted, foolish. Unlike him, I am focusing on the bigger picture and tear this city down, piece by piece, top to bottom and make no mistake, none of you will have anywhere to hide or anyone to hide behind." Joe said on the TV before the live feed ended.

"This is another A.S.I.S. tactic, instigating fear, hoping that his target will cower into a hiding spot and force it to waste its resources to reinforce its safety as they scatter around and then, he'll go after his target, while the rest is distracted." Slade said.

"The questions is, what is the target?" Oliver wondered as he handed Felicity the hard drive they had recovered. "Felicity, see if this hard drive might give us a clue about what is Kane planning."

Felicity nodded as she took the hard drive.

Slade was just staring at a wall as he sat down, considering as Oliver approached him. "It's not your fault, Slade."

"I pushed him down this path, kid. Every choice he has made since Milford Sound and Amazo is on me." Slade murmured. "I tried to reach him. I tried to help him. But—"

"Look, it may have been your fault but at this point, it doesn't matter anymore. I'm not saying you should kill your son but… deep down, that boy that you knew, might still be in there. All you can do is hope that one day he's going to wake up and come back to himself but whatever he's doing now, that's on him. It's not on you." Oliver took a breath. "There was a time I would have thought it was my fault that I brought this darkness upon my family and my friends. And after I lost Laurel, I realized that it wasn't my fault… but my responsibility."

"Responsibility to do what?" Slade wondered.

"To end it. And I'm trying my best to save my friends, who could die and if I can't do that, then I can make their deaths worth something. If we can't reach Kane, we can make sure he can't hurt anyone again and then, you can hope that one day, you can reach him." Oliver said. "But remember you don't have to do this alone. You remember what you used to tell me?"

"There is no giving up to these guys." Slade remembered.

"And you can't give up to your boy. Joe is still in there somewhere. And maybe you'll be able to get to him. But right now, this is bigger than you and your son." Oliver said and Slade nodded with a reassuring smile as he picked his helmet.

"Let's end this, kid." Slade said.

"Felicity, you got something?" Oliver asked.

"Well, it looks like Kane is trying to make Slade's siege look like a child's play. No Mirakuru but well-placed coordinated bombs." Felicity said.

"How many are we talking about?" Sara asked.

"A lot and it looks like Kane has them all linked to a remote detonator." Tommy said.

"Could be a cellphone, like Diaz or maybe a trigger." Diggle realized.

"But, I have one piece of good news. There's a relay somewhere underneath downtown." Felicity said as she showed the schematics on the screen.

"So we disable the relay device, we turn off the bomb." Dinah realized and Felicity nodded.

"And I think I know where is my son holed up, if he's following my footsteps." Slade realized.

"So we're going to make the same play we did six years ago?" Diggle asked and Oliver nodded.

"Suit up." Oliver ordered.

Later, Star City

Team Arrow walked down the service tunnels underneath the city.

"Guys, status report." Felicity said.

"We're at the east end." Spartan said, followed by Laurel, Tommy and Roy.

"And looks like someone beat us here." Tommy said.

"Does any of this look familiar?" Felicity asked as she observed through the camera on Oliver's suit.

"Yeah, all too well." Oliver grumbled as he sensed someone sneaking up on him and he, Sara and Slade whirled around to engage a group of Deathstrokes, with Oliver shooting down one of them, while Slade fencing with them.

SCPD

Rene and Dinah were in the SCPD, talking, when Dinah noticed a man placing a bomb underneath his chair and putting on a Deathstroke mask as he got up and started to fight the officers and Dinah pushed the chair with the bomb away. "Bomb! Everyone out! Now!"

Star City

"The relay is somewhere right in front of you." Felicity said.

Oliver, Slade and Sara engaged the Deathstrokes, Oliver knocking one of them down, while Slade blocked with his sword as others attacked him and Sara, who used her batons and hit one of them in the leg and knocked another one down.

"Felicity, we got one of the bombs." Roy said as they saw a bomb on a table.

"Oh, let's see, maybe there's a way to disarm it." Felicity said as she took a look through Roy's camera.

Sara exchanged blows with one of the Deathstrokes before she hit him in the head and knocked him down. Oliver slammed another one to the wall and fired an explosive arrow as it hit the nearby wall and sent some Deathstrokes flying back. Slade fenced with two Deathstrokes but they were no match for him as he cut them both across their chests.

Slade then saw Joe wearing his own Deathstroke suit and engaged him.

Slade dodged as Joe tried to strike him. "This anger needs to end, Joe!"

"Yes, it will end, with your death!" Joe snarled.

Slade blocked as Joe tried to stab him in the eyehole and pushed him back before they exchanged sword strikes, equally matched but Slade didn't seem to relent as he fought furiously, which seemed to satisfy Joe, who had a sadistic smirk on his face.

"That's it! Don't hold back!" Joe goaded as their swords crossed.

"I don't want to kill you, kid, but I can't let you kill more innocents." Slade sneered and dodged, when Joe attempted to cut his head off. Slade kneed Joe in the gut as Joe grunted and then swung his sword as Joe stumbled back, almost losing his balance as the tip of Slade's sword made a cut on his chest plate.

Joe roared as he charged at Slade with his sword held high but as the blades clashed, they knocked their swords off their hands as they engaged in hand-to-hand combat but Joe expected Slade to hold back, which made him lower his guard due to his arrogance. They exchanged blows briefly but Slade then slammed his fist onto Joe's jaw as he spat out blood. Joe threw a right hook but Slade caught him by his arm and flipped him over his back and slammed him to the ground before punching him in the face thrice, knocking him out.

"It's over, kid!" Slade roared, panting out before he found a trigger on Joe's belt and pressed a disarm button.

"Felicity, the bombs have been disarmed." Oliver said over the comms.

Later, the Lair

"So, your son is now safe and sound locked up in A.R.G.U.S. black site." Oliver said and Slade nodded gratefully.

"Maybe you have now all the time you need with your son." Sara said.

"I'm grateful, kid, but if this crisis is as terrible as you say it is, I think you need all the help you can get." Slade said and Oliver and Sara nodded, with the rest of the Team Arrow being somewhat wary, save for Roy.

"I appreciate it." Oliver said as they shook hands.

"Look, I don't wanna be the party pooper and as much as I like happy moments, there's one other thing we need to discuss." Felicity said.

"The energy that wiped out Earth-2 can be replicated but we can't replicate it because it requires plutonium, you know, the bomb-making kind. Luckily, there's a guy, a military general." Curtis explained.

"And where is he?" Sara asked.

"In Russia." Felicity explained as Oliver and Sara looked at each other.

"Looks like we're gonna visit an old friend." Oliver noted.

Star City

Laurel and Tommy were walking down the street before facing Mar Novu.

"What do you want?" Laurel demanded.

"You're the Monitor?" Tommy demanded.

Novu nodded. "You ache for the world you lost, and I possess the power to restore it."

"You can bring our Earth back?" Tommy asked, skeptical.

"The recovery of your universe will require a single task." Novu said.

"What task?" Laurel asked.

"You must betray Oliver Queen." Novu revealed.

Not proud of this chapter but hope you liked it.

Just a note, as much as I was intrigued by Mia as Oliver's daughter at first, while I did understand her reactions, her blaming Oliver for abandoning her as a baby because he was preparing for the Crisis and her arrogant attitude about that she didn't need him anymore after he left her, made me dislike her.

So, what do you guys think?
