Hello everyone. Thank you for your reviews and suggestions for the story. They are all very much appreciated and I will be working to include those that I can in the story.
Without further ado, here is the next chapter!
Chapter 5:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Davis High School
The first few days of school for Evelyn were trying to say the least. Evelyn had been out of school for almost a year and she was having some trouble early on with her classes. However she was working hard to ensure that she didn't fall behind. On a more positive note, Evelyn had already made quite a few friends including the girl named Ruby. Oliver in turn had befriended Ruby's mother, Samantha or Sam to her friends. The girls had also begun hanging out together and today they would be able to come over to Oliver's place now since the place was finally furnished.
As Oliver waited out front for Evelyn and Ruby, he went over in his head what he had learned about the young mother. She was CFO at a place called L-Corp and a single mother. Unlike Evelyn, Ruby was her biological child. Oliver guessed her age was early thirties meaning that Ruby was probably born when Sam was in college or high school. Oliver admired her for that. It took a certain kind of strength to raise a child and go to school.
One thing that Oliver was starting to notice was that Sam was incredibly busy with work since everything Sam ask him to pick up Ruby, she wanted her dropped off at L-Corp.
As the students piled out of the school gates, Oliver noticed Evelyn and Ruby laughing as they approached his car. "Hey girls. Good day at school?" Oliver asked.
"Ugh! Annoying!" Evelyn groaned.
"Yeah same here!" Ruby agreed as the two girls got into the back seat.
"What about you Dad?" Evelyn asked. Over the past few days she'd gotten better at saying that and it seemed that she was getting more comfortable with it.
"All the house furnishings are done so you can finally have guests over." Oliver answered.
"Mr. Sharp…" Ruby began.
"Queen." Oliver corrected. "Oliver Queen."
"My last name is Sharp." Evelyn explained. "When Ollie took custody of me I kept my last name the same."
"Ollie?" Ruby asked with a smirk.
Oliver shook his head in mild annoyance. "An old nickname of mine from my childhood. A few of my old friends still call me that."
"I call him that when I want to annoy him." Evelyn snickered.
Ruby laughed as well. Oliver meanwhile continued silently listening to their conversation as he drove them to their new house.
"Here we are girls." Oliver said as he pulled in.
The house wasn't anything compared to the Queen Mansion but despite it Oliver was pleased with the space he had available especially since it was in the suburbs. The house nice tan paint scheme and inside contained several nice amenities including a spacious kitchen and dining room, his and Evelyn's rooms as well as two guest rooms since with his luck there was good probability that they would need the space.
As everyone entered the house, Oliver went about preparing dinner for the girls on the good chance that Sam got off work late. Meanwhile the girls went about working on homework. Though it was more like they started their homework, then they pulled out their phones and started giggling about whatever gossip, text or snapchat they got before Oliver had to remind them to get their work done.
Eventually both girls finished their homework and went to Evelyn's room to continue whatever it was teenage girls did when they had free time, Oliver didn't know.
Around 5 pm Oliver finished his work on the dinner and called the girls to come out just as someone knocked on the door. Wiping his hands, Oliver went to the door and opened it to see Sam outside. To most people she looked fine but Oliver's years of reading people told him that Sam was exhausted and needed a minute to take a load off.
"Sam, come on in." Oliver offered.
"Thanks." Sam replied as she came in to see Ruby and Evelyn eating at the table. "I really appreciate you taking care of Ruby for the afternoon. I promise I will try not to make a habit of this."
"It's no problem Sam." Oliver replied. "Ruby was a pleasure to host."
Ruby interjected. "Yeah plus Oliver's cooking is awesome!"
"Would you like to stay for a minute?" Oliver offered. "I have plenty of food for all of us."
"I don't want to impose." Sam declined.
"It's not an imposition at all." Oliver countered. "I just finished setting up the place and I'd love the chance to have a guest over."
Sam surrendered. "Well alright." Sam took her seat as Oliver served her a plate of the chicken he had been cooking. Sam took one bite of it before agreeing to Ruby's assessment of Oliver's cooking skills.
"Wow this is incredible!" She said. "How did you learn to cook like this?"
Oliver shrugged. "When I grew up I had a caretaker named Raisa who let me help her cook from time to time. Guess you could say I learned from her."
"What about your mother?" Sam asked.
Oliver shook his head. "She was always really busy with some social event to always be there for me or my sister when we were growing up. She was there for me if I needed her but anything I didn't get from her I got from Raisa."
Oliver and Sam both stood up to take their plates to the sink. "What about your mother Sam?"
Sam's smiled dropped and her voice got quiet. "My mom… my adoptive mom, when I got pregnant with Ruby I was still in high school. She gave me choice. Give up the child or leave. As you can tell I took Ruby and left."
Oliver worked to hide the shock on his face. "Wow… That's not an easy thing to live through."
"Yeah…" Sam replied.
"I take it Ruby doesn't know the story." Oliver asked.
"She knows my mom and I don't talk. She doesn't know why. She doesn't even know what my mom looks like." Sam answered.
Ruby then came into the room and tried to stifle a yawn. Both Oliver and Sam chucked at this. "Alright sweetie I think it's time we go home now."
"Ok mom…" Ruby replied trying to stay awake.
Oliver led the two to the front door and said his goodbyes to them before turning and returning to the kitchen. Seeing the mess that he would need to clean up, Oliver pulled out his new computer and turned it onto a local news channel while he cleaned.
As he was putting away the food and cleaning the dishes, a report drew his attention fully to the computer.
"National City is in shock today as it appears that Dr Psycho, the deranged serial killer stalking our city' women has struck again. Today police found a body of a young woman named Dr Monica Chambers in the industrial district. While police would not share the details of the murder, they have confirmed that they believe it to be the work of the same killer who took the lives of ADA Laura Stewart and Army Sgt. Savannah Rankin earlier this month. Monica Chambers was a doctor at the Luthor Children's hospital in National City. A hospital spokesman says that they are saddened by her death and hope that her killer is brought to justice. However with this being the third murder in one month and the police nor Supergirl being no closer to finding the perpetrator, a cloud of fear now hangs over our city."

DEO Headquarters
Kara was getting irritated. She had into the DEO to see Winn hard at work at his desk looking for leads to identify the other world killers. However despite days of searching, the info they got from Fort Rozz hadn't gotten them any reliable leads. Kara had been just about ready to lash out at Winn when she saw the scared expression on his face. Backing off, Kara apologized and went to the balcony to cool down.
It didn't surprise Kara one bit when Alex wanted over to her less than a minute later to check up on her. "You doing ok sis?"
"I'm fine Alex. I'm just getting irritated." Kara answered.
"I know what you mean." Alex replied "But without a lead there is nothing we can do. For now just take minute and relax. If it helps go find someway to blow off steam."
"Does it help?" Kara asked jokingly.
Alex shrugged. "Kinda. After what happened between Maggie and me, sometimes it felt good to hit something hard for a while."
"Did it last?" Kara asked already knowing the answer.
"It's not a permanent solution but it can help for the moment if you feel overwhelmed. Trust me on this." Alex countered just as her phone began to ring. Looking at the number she recognized it immediately. "Speak of the devil. It's Maggie's partner. Hey Jim what's up?"
"Alex, is Maggie with you?" Jim asked sounding worried.
"No she's not. Jim I haven't seen or spoken to her since we broke up. I thought she told you this." Alex replied.
"She did tell me but that's not why I'm calling you. She hasn't shown up for work for almost three days now and no one can get a hold of her." Jim answered.
"Have you tried tracing her cell?" Alex asked worry still in her voice.
"First thing we tried." Jim answered. "Her phone is dead and her apartment is vacant."
Kara spoke. "What's happened?"
Alex turned to her sister. "Maggie's missing." Alex then returned to speaking with the detective. "Do we have any leads?"
"At the moment we aren't ruling anything out." Jim replied. "It could be an old case that's come back to haunt her, a current one she's working on or it could be personal. Either way, we're in the dark here. You've got government resources. Any help you can provide would be appreciated."
"You've got it Jim." Alex answered.
Alex then spent the next hour barking orders at DEO agents to drop everything and join the search for Maggie Sawyer. Because of her previous aid to them, the agents quickly obliged and got to work. After about an hour of work, Winn believed that he had a breakthrough.
"Hey Alex, Kara take a look. I might have a lead." Winn called them over. "So I went through all of Maggie's contacts for the last few days, her previous cases, any convicts with a score to settle and it seems as if they're nothing there."
"I thought you said you had a lead." Kara wondered.
"I do. I thought that instead of looking at old cases maybe I should look at current ones instead. Turns out the only case she's working on that might get her kidnapped is one we're all familiar with, that is if you still watch the news."
"Which case is that? Some crossover case between DEO and NCPD?" Alex asked.
"Nope. Maggie was assigned to lead the investigation into the Doctor Psycho killer." Winn answered.
"That crazy serial killer in the city?" Kara asked. "Mon-el mentioned him a few days ago. What makes you think it's him?"
"I did a look around the case. I know it's not much but take a look at the victims of the case so far. All women, all single, no children, no family, all working long hours. According to the NCPD, she was last seen late at night leaving the precinct like the other victims. Not to mention, the killers M.O. He only takes one woman at a time and he dumped the last one a few days ago. He had to be searching for another victim." Win explained.
"But why target a cop?" Alex asked her voice starting to flutter in fear. "That just seems stupid for a man like him."
J'onn entered the room. "You'd be right but his first victim was military. Clearly he's either skilled enough to take down martially trained women or it's something else. What do the police know about him so far?"
Winn tapped his tablet a few times and a series of new pictures and documents appeared on the main screen. "Police believe he's white, 20-50, medically trained but they don't have a pathology for him yet nor a motivation for the killings. The victims are across every race and profession imaginable."
"Why do they assume he's medically trained?" Kara asked starting to notice Alex's increased panic.
Winn noticed this as well and tried to avoid answering until Kara's expression told him to answer. "The victim's cause of death. They were all administered some kind of psychotropic drug that affected their brain in some way. When he was… done with them, all of the women were killed the same way, All of the women were tortured badly but they were killed with a blade to the neck. Police believe the blade was a scalpel. All those skills would require someone with medical training to execute properly."
Alex couldn't take any more of this so she fast walked out of the main room and back to the balcony take very deep and audible breaths along the way. Kara was on her heels and caught up to her at the balcony.
"Alex it's ok." Kara soothed. "We'll find her.
"How Kara?!" Alex screamed. "You listened to the whole city and not a peep from Maggie. For all we know she's dead already!"
Kara didn't have words. She just pulled her sister in for a hug as she cried her eyes out. Kara held onto hope that Maggie would be found but even she knew that the longer this search went on, the better chance was that it ended badly. It would take a miracle to save her.

National City Mall
Evelyn was enjoying one thing about National City better than Star City. The mall was much bigger and better than her old home's and one she intended to make full use of. Having a driver's license and some experience behind a wheel Evelyn and Ruby had been planning for weeks to begin shopping for dresses for their upcoming dance in a few weeks. The hard part had been convincing Oliver to let her borrow the car. Oliver was notoriously stubborn and since he hadn't seen her drive much, he was hesitant to let her take the car and Ruby down to the mall. Evelyn had tried logic with him. He's still have the bike if he needed to drive and Evelyn had been driving for several months before she had even met him. Eventually she won him over with the threat that he would have to stay with them all afternoon and judge dress after dress after dress along with the shoes to go with them. Having suffered through the same thing with Laurel and later Felicity, Oliver relented.
Evelyn and Ruby had spent hours searching for dresses. Both of their parents had put price restrictions on them and with the money cut off as well as trying to find something they liked, both girls did indeed spend hours hunting for the perfect dress. However their trip did eventually yield results. Evelyn settled with a short red dress with lacy sleeves while Ruby settled with a classic pink prom dress.
"Oh my god your dad is going to freak when he sees what you got." Ruby said feeling somewhat impressed with her friend's bold choice.
"Not the most revealing dress I've bought." Evelyn joked remembering her red dress and her last mission with Ragman.
"You not worried he's gonna make you send it back?" Ruby asked.
"My dad may be stubborn." Evelyn countered. "But I knew his last girlfriend. He spent enough time with her helping her pick out new outfits that he will activity avoid it at all cost. Besides it's not that revealing. Anyway we have more important things to worry about."
The two girls took a seat at the food court. "What's that?" Ruby asked.
Evelyn smiled. "Dates."
Ruby tried to show her enthusiasm but her face portrayed her anxiety. "What's wrong Ruby?"
"Nothing…" Ruby said.
"Come on don't make me beg. Just tell me what's up." Evelyn asked.
Ruby gave her an unreadable look. "Come one Evelyn. You're beautiful and attractive. Guys are probably lining up to ask you out. Me, I'm nowhere near you in that arena."
"Give yourself more credit." Evelyn countered. "At least you know people here. Me, I'm the new awkward student who doesn't know anyone and no one's heard of."
"I guess…" Ruby replied.
"What brought this one?" Evelyn asked as the answer came into her head. "Is this about Erika Morrison? What she said about you online?"
Ruby didn't replay. She just dejectedly rubbed her arm. "Ruby, Erika's a grade a bitch." This got Ruby's attention. "What does she know?"
"Maybe you're right." Ruby answered, sounding happier. "You sound like Alex actually."
"Alex who?" Evelyn asked not remembering that name from school.
"Alex Danvers. She's an FBI agent my mom's friends with. She watched me a few days ago. She even got Erika to back off the online attacks."
"See, there you go." Evelyn smiled.
The girls continued on their conversation for several more minutes before Ruby's phone went off again. "Oh that's my mom. She said she's done with her work with Alex and she's here to take me home."
"My driving wasn't that bad." Evelyn joked as the girls walked out the main door.
"No…" Ruby replied. "You're just kinda fast."
The girls shared that last laugh before splitting in opposite directions. Evelyn had parked near the end of the loft by the bridge over the river. As she made her way to the car as night came over the city, Evelyn's attention was brought to a strange sight. A woman was leaning on a column, panting heavily with sweat dripping down her body. It took one look for Evelyn to tell she was in trouble and her training took over.
"Miss, are you ok? What's your name?" Evelyn asked.
"Maggie." She said while listing. "Maggie Sawyer, NCPD."
"Hey stay with me." Evelyn said. "What happened?"
Maggie wasn't so sure of that herself. Somehow she had managed to get free of her restraints but not before her captor had injected her with some kind of drug. Her adrenaline took over and had allowed her to overpower her captor momentarily and escape but now that it was wearing down, the drug combined with the adrenaline crash was making her very drowsy. She was thankful she had managed to find help so quickly. She knew where she had been kept was close. Right now they both needed to escape. "No time. We have to get away. Do you have a car?"
"Yeah I do. Come with me." Evelyn replied. "My name's Evelyn by the way."
Maggie was about to speak again when a very loud scream pierced her ears. The voice was sounded like someone she knew, but it didn't matter if she didn't know his name, she knew who he was, her captor. "Where are you beautiful?! I wasn't done with you!"
Before either of them could react, the figure in the distance saw them and broke into a full run. Both Evelyn and Maggie hobbled along but the man had cut them off from her car so Evelyn led the two of them over the river hoping to get to the patrol car Evelyn had seen earlier.
But by then the man had caught up to them. Maggie tried to stand her ground and fight him off but the drugs in her system weakened her ability to fight. Before she even knew what was happening, the two of them were in a struggle and Maggie was shoved off the railing and into the river.
The cold winter river was a shock that woke her body up like a shot of adrenaline. Feeling herself start to sink, she thrashed her arms about swimming for the surface. When she finally broke the surface, Maggie took several deep breaths of air before making her back to the nearest ladder connected to the river wall. She climbed up as fast as she could but by the time she reach the sidewalk, the girl who helped her was no where to be found and her attacker was gone as well.
"No no no no no…" Maggie panicked as she tried to think of her next move. She couldn't just hunt him down. She was too weak and needed rest. Maggie continued on the path until she saw a squad car down the road. Flagging it down, she rushed over to the cops.
"My name is Sgt Maggie Sawyer, NCPD. A child has just been abducted."

Queen Residence
Oliver was enjoying the silence that an empty house had. Having always had someone hanging around his residence for the past several years, he learned to enjoy the brief moments of silence as they came around especially since he would be getting back to work soon.
Using his league contacts, Oliver had made a work history for himself that spelled out a history as a combat soldier and warrior. This experience as well as some well-placed calls got him quickly hired by Morgan Edge himself, one of the City's major business company's aside from L-Corp. His new job was that of a security consultant. He would start his work next week.
For Oliver this worked out nicely. Being in security meant he could use the skills Lian Yu taught him and he would be making enough money to explain the nice house and the other expenses required to live in National City.
However Oliver was broken out of his though about his new job when he got a call from Evelyn. Given the late hour Oliver assumed that she was done shopping and was now on her way home.
"Hey sweetie are you…" Oliver stopped when he heard a struggle and screaming coming from the other side of the line.
"DADDY! HELP ME!" Evelyn screamed into the phone before her voice went silent and the line fell dead.
Oliver tried calling her two more times as panic set in with each call that went unanswered. When she still didn't answer Oliver's worry turned into fear. Had she been kidnapped? Who took her? Was it an old enemy who chased them across dimensions? Oliver just didn't have the answers and he needed them before full-blown panic took over.
Deciding that he couldn't wait any longer, Oliver ran into his room and pulled out a large military supply case from under his bead. Inputting his code, the case unlocked revealing it's contents, Oliver's Hood outfit, his recursive bow and series of arrows, trick arrows and other supplies. Oliver shut the case and attached the case to his bike before turning on the engine and bursting out towards his daughter's last known location.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
National City Mall
When Oliver arrived on seen he was met with a group of cops who stopped him before he breached the perimeter.
"I'm sorry sire but you can't pass." The cop spoke.
"My daughter called me from this spoke a few minutes ago screaming at me to save her. She hasn't responded since."
A woman's voice interjected. "You're daughter's name is Evelyn?"
Oliver turned to see a Hispanic woman clearly soaked speaking to him. Oliver went over to her and spoke. "You know my daughter?"
"I do. She helped me after I escaped from my captor." She explained.
"Your captor?" Oliver asked his voice rising.
"The killer stalking our city. Doctor Psycho." Maggie explained.
And that was it. Oliver went into full-blown panic mode now. "A serial killer?! My daughter is in the hands of a serial killer?!"
"Sir I need you to calm down!" The cop from before said. "Look I can't imagine what you're feeling now. I have a daughter and if she was in danger I'd feel just like you do."
Oliver took a few deep breaths and calmed himself. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Do you have a photo of her?" Maggie asked. "That could help us find her."
Oliver nodded and pulled up a dozen photos of her before airdropping them to the sergeant.
"Is there anything else?" Oliver asked still as worried as ever.
"You've told us the whole story. The best thing you can do is go home." Maggie said standing up and putting her hand on his shoulder. "Go home and rest. Once we know more, we'll contact you. And have faith. Every cop in the city is looking for her. We know his lair is close. Her chances are very good."
"Ok, ok…" Oliver said as silently mounted his bike and sped off home.
The second he left, a series of SUVs flashing sirens arrived on scene and Supergirl landed out of the sky. Out of the lead car cam Alex and a team of agents as they worked to secure the area and aid the police.
"Supergirl?" Maggie asked. "What's going on?"
"We heard about you getting kidnapped. "We've been trying to find you for days. Once we heard the news over the radio, we rushed here." Kara explained.
"Despite everything it's good to see you." Maggie smiled. Just as she said that, she laid eyes on her former fiancée Alex, the two froze for what seemed like an eternity byt what was only a few seconds. Neither of them knew what to do or say. Instead they both ran into each other's arms and gave each other a bone-crushing hug.
"Maggie, I can't believe it!" Alex said tears flowing down her face.
"Me neither." Maggie said crying as well. "I didn't think you'd come."
"Why in God's name would you think that?" Alex asked incredulously.
"You made it clear how things stood when we ended it." Maggie said.
"But that doesn't mean I stopped caring for you." Alex replied. "I still care about you and I still missed you."
Alex's words stuck a cord with Maggie as momentary shock took over. "Clearly we have some things to discuss, but not now. We have a missing kid. She was taken trying to save me and I'm gonna save her."

National City Roadside
Oliver tried to go home. He did. But his fear took over and he couldn't concentrate any more. He had planned to go out there and find Evelyn but he had no leads and the police were there. Now all he felt was useless. He took Evelyn with him to protect her and instead he might have gotten her killed. The emotions threatened to break down the calm and collected image Oliver had tried so hard to cultivate but he knew it was pointless as tears fell down his face.
Oliver was pulled from his depressed state by his phone ringing. He didn't recognize the number so he assumed it was that cop lady. Instead the voice on the other line shocked him. "Daddy?"
"Evelyn!?" Oliver cried. "Are you ok?"
"Not for long." She said trying to keep her composure. "I stole his phone. It wont be long before he notices that it's gone. Please tell me you can trace it."
Pulling up a tap and trace app Felicity had insisted he install, Oliver began the trace and within seconds he had her location. The lady cop had instead been right. They were nearby. Based on the signal, the phone was in a penthouse of a currently under construction apartment complex near the mall.
"Hang up and hide Evelyn!" Oliver ordered. "I'm gonna get you out of there."
Oliver didn't wait. He punched the engine on his bike and burst towards the building where his daughter was being help. Once he was close enough, Oliver disembarked his bike and found a covert spoke to become the Hood once more. Donning his iconic gear, Oliver slipped into a nearby apartment building that was also under construction, one that was right next to his target. As Oliver ascended the stairs at a break-neck pace, he mentally prepared himself for the battle he was about ready to enter.
Once Oliver reached the roof, he notched a router arrow and fired it off at the building. Once it landed, Oliver was into the security feed. Oliver counted about ten armed guards and he caught a glimpse of Evelyn hiding in the storage closet that she was kept in. Based on his view of the room Oliver guessed that it was lined with lead, which explained why Supergirl hadn't been able to hear the girls. They were hidden where she couldn't hear or see them.
Taking mental locations of the guards, Oliver notched his grappling arrow and flew himself over to his target. As he got close, Oliver smashed through the window and landed on his feet.
The guards were on alert but they quickly found themselves outmatched. Oliver stuck to the shadows firing arrows that's pierced the Kevlar of the first two guards before they even saw him. Oliver didn't waste a second as he charged through the penthouse slamming himself into a guard in the hallway jabbing a dagger into his abdomen.
When Oliver reached the main lobby of the penthouse, two guards on the next floor above him started firing at him with machine guns. Oliver slid into cover behind a table while shooting a flashbang arrow at the two. The men became disoriented and were unable to see Oliver rise and fire two arrows at the name time right at them taking them down hard.
When they fell, the last five guards charged the main room guns blazing. Oliver jumped into the shadows avoiding the hail of bullets. From his spot, he sent arrows into the first two men. By then the last three saw him and tried to fire but Oliver was able to get close enough before they could. He jabbed one with an arrow he held in his hand while he engaged in close combat with the last two. Oliver used one the goons as leverage to give a very hard kick to the other guard before flipping the last one over his shoulder and jamming an arrow into his shoulder.
With security down, Oliver made his way to the panic room where Evelyn was being held only to find it open and empty. Looking around the room for her, he narrowly avoided a bullet that was fired at him. Taking cover, Oliver saw his last target must have been the man they called Dr Psycho. From what Oliver saw he was barely taller than Evelyn at a bit over five feet but his grip was strong and Evelyn couldn't escape.
Oliver went back to the shadows and began stalking his prey waiting of the chance to strike and save his daughter. The man holding her had made his way to the living room that neared the balcony. Then Oliver took his opening. Pulling back on his notched arrow, Evelyn heard the sharp notch and kicked the man hard in the shin, the pain gave Oliver the shot to the shoulder that released Evelyn from his grip.
But it was short lived. The man recovered quick and yanked the arrow out as Oliver was charging him. Oliver slammed a kick into the man and as he moved to strike Psycho used Oliver's weight to throw him over his back and launch his own attack. Oliver recovered quickly and countered blocking Psycho's attacks. Oliver charged him and launched and aerial punch that send the man down but he got back up and attacked again charging Oliver like a bull until he slammed into the wall.
Oliver brought his knees up clocking him in the jaw and landing a hard kick that sent him through the window and onto the balcony. Oliver didn't let up and re-engaged him. While Psycho was starting to get tired, Oliver was still getting warmed up it showed. Psycho's punches were slower and Oliver blocked each an every one of them. "Who the hell are you?" Doctor Psycho asked.
"You're about to find out." Oliver growled as he threw him hard into the balcony's glass railing. The railing dented at the impact but was still intact. By this time, the fight was over and Psycho was barely conscious. Evelyn took the chance to run from her hiding spot to Oliver and envelop him in a tight hug one Oliver reciprocated. "Hey, hey, you're ok now Evelyn. You're safe."
"She'll never be safe. No bitch will be safe in this city." Psycho said sounding close to raving. "Not so long as I'm alive. And I know you heroes. You won't kill me."
It was true. So long as this monster was alive, he would be a threat to everyone. Oliver had tried to be better over the years, tried to walk away from killing, finding other ways to save his city, tried to be a hero like Barry… or Kara. But Oliver knew this. He wasn't a hero. He wasn't Supergirl, Flash or even the Green Arrow anymore. He was something else now.
Oliver looked once more at Evelyn and saw the expression on her face. She knew the same truth that Oliver knew. This man was a killer, a rapist and a sadistic monster. She knew what had to be done and she knew Oliver was the only one who could do it. She gave him a nod. Oliver returned it in kind.
"You're right. A hero would just arrest you… But I'm no hero." Oliver said his voice filled with conviction as he notched his arrow. "Doctor Psycho, you have failed this city!"
And with that last word, Oliver let loose the arrow and it impacted the main straight in the heart killing him instantly. His body fell backwards breaking through the railing and plummeting straight to the ground.
Down on the ground, the NCPD finally had a lead to Doctor Psycho's location. They were stacking up with Supergirl close behind them when out of the blue the car beside them caved in as if a brick had fallen out of the sky and smashed it. The team looked to see a man Maggie recognized immediately, Doctor Edgar Cizko aka Doctor Psycho dead with an arrow sticking out of his heart.

And once again another chapter is complete and Oliver is back in the Hood again. I hope you all appreciate this chapter I worked hard to get it exactly as I wanted it to go hence the slight delay.
My plan is to cultivate a Sam/Oliver friendship so that he can provide a different perspective once Reign is revealed.
I'm also planning on keeping Oliver's presence on Earth 38 a secret from Team Supergirl for now unless someone give me a good idea to work for revealing him.
Also I am planning on slowly introducing the heroes of Earh 1 into this story slowly but I have to decide with who I'm starting with.
Also I'm sure a lot of you will wonder why Oliver would work for a man like Morgan Edge but I've got a very good reason for that and it will tie into my idea for how Oliver will eventually be revealed to his friends on Earth 38.
Once again if you have any suggestions or ideas for the story, feel free to PM me or Review. Both are appreciated and I hope you enjoy this latest chapter.
