Green Arrow shot down the Ghosts and fired an arrow with a zipline as the Canary used her staff to descend down, while Spartan and Daredevil on the ground beat up the Ghosts.

"Rising Tide, can you find the bomb?" Green Arrow called out.

"I'm trying, just give me a few… it's on the ground level." Klein said. "And I'm starting to reconsider my codename based on a hacktivist group."

"It was your idea." Green Arrow reminded as he jumped down and shot down two Ghosts.

"If that bomb explodes, it will blow the treatment plant from Central City." Klein said and Green Arrow pulled out some spray and sprayed the bomb as it turned off.

"It's done. Get Spartan down here to handle the dismantling." Oliver said.

Later, the Lair

"Can you find where the Ghosts are from?" Oliver asked.

"I've tried everything, DNA analysis, face analysis, nothing worked." Klein said. "These Ghosts are… ghosts."

"That's why Darhk was able to avoid Ra's for centuries and why was he chosen as a successor." Sara nodded.

"Speaking of which, we should be ready for Jessica and Madison coming." Oliver reminded as Sara nodded.

Later, Queen Manor

"Madison, how is school going?" Moira asked as they were talking over brunch.

"It's good. I graduate in May, with a degree in ancient philosophy." Madison said.

"Ancient philosophy?" Oliver inquired. "I remember you once said you wanted to be a dancer."

"Oh, that's still plan B, obviously." Madison said.

"It's so lovely to see you." Jessica said. "Where's Thea anyway?"

"She left with her boyfriend, trying to settle down." Tommy explained. "She got pregnant few months ago but she told us to say "hello"."

"It's been far too long. Hope we'll get to see them both again." Jessica said. "And besides, since your mother is opening the new school, I thought it might be a good idea for Madison to enroll."

"I'm not so sure about that." Sara said.

"I'm certain we can count on that the Green Arrow will help is." Jessica said optimistically.

The following day

Oliver, Sara, Matt, Tommy and Laurel attended the ceremony as Moira was using the scissors to cut the ribbon and announce opening of the Star College before Matt heard something.

"Get down!" Matt ordered as gunshots rang out, causing for people to scream in panic and scatter, while Oliver and Matt were chasing one of the men, who had been posing as security.

The man ran to the fire escape and jumped onto the truck as Oliver and Matt followed him but stopped as a car drove by, causing for them both to stop.

Later, the Lair

"Is it just me or does it seem that this attack seemed a bit… ghosty?" Klein said.

"Well, the perp wasn't wearing a mask and there was something else strange about him." Matt said.

"Like what?" Sara asked.

"He left behind evidence." Oliver said as he showed them the windshield with the attacker's fingerprints.

"Fingerprints." Diggle realized.

"I bought his truck." Oliver explained.

"I'm not sure it was a good investment though." Klein said as he sat at the computer. "The fingerprints are like some kind of a jigsaw puzzle. But this M.O. might narrow it down, though."

"Yeah, Mom?" Oliver said as his phone rang.

Later, SCPD

Jessica was sitting down and sobbing as Moira and Quentin were comforting her.

"What happened?" Oliver asked.

"Someone took Madison during her finals." Quentin explained. "Her guard were killed, electrocuted and throats slit for good measure. Tell me you have something."

"Not exactly. All we know is that he cut off his fingerprints and mixed them up, to make sure we couldn't ID him." Oliver said and Quentin nodded.

"I know who it is. That M.O.. His name is Lonnie Machin, he's a hitman. He's done this before. I'll see if I can find out where he's holding Madison." Quentin said. Oliver nodded and turned around as Quentin spoke up again. "Oliver. Be careful."

Later, Heavy Heavy Club

The Green Arrow, the Canary, Spartan and Daredevil descended from above as Machin neared restrained Madison.

"Something wrong with the front door?" Machin teased.

"Get away from the girl!" Green Arrow ordered as he notched an arrow.

"Could you come back in an hour? We were just getting started." Machin teased.

Green Arrow fired an arrow, freeing Madison as Spartan fired. Machin took cover behind a barrel and pulled out a flamethrower as Green Arrow, Spartan, the Canary and Daredevil scattered before Machin ran.

"Let's get her down." Spartan said, freeing Madison.

"We have Madison but he split, Rising Tide." Green Arrow said.

"He's not outside." Klein said.

"He's still here." Daredevil said.

"She needs medical attention." Spartan said, holding Madison in his arms.

"Get her to safety, we've got this." Green Arrow said as the Canary and Spartan left with Madison.

Green Arrow and Daredevil scoured the club before Machin tried to attack Daredevil from behind. Daredevil turned around and blocked as Machin pulled out his baton but didn't expect that Machin's baton was electric as it shocked him as he fell down. Green Arrow fired an arrow but Machin blocked with his baton. Green Arrow blocked with his bow as Machin attacked. Green Arrow parried Machin's strikes as Machin cornered him into the stockroom, not giving him an opening to fight back before Machin connected his batons.

Green Arrow threw a fletchette that Machin deflected with his baton before Green Arrow engaged him as Machin blocked Green Arrow's attacks but Daredevil, who had managed to recover, threw a billy club, hitting Machin in the head, making him stagger before Green Arrow whacked Machin in the face with his bow, knocking him out.

H.I.V.E.

"I understand you've become a freelancer?" Darhk asked as a man with short hair and beige leather jacket approached him.

"Hydra is being dismantled. S.H.I.E.L.D. decided to fight back. If I want to fight back, I need resources. Money." The man said. "I've lost everything."

"I've read your file. Interesting past." Darhk nodded. "I look forward to working with you, Mr. Ward." Darhk shook his hand with Grant Ward, who smiled.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Black site

John Steele was freed from his shackles as Steve approached him. "Are you ready to fight back?"

"I'm ready. Let's make Darhk pay." Steele said.

What I hated about 4x02 was how ridiculously was Oliver nerfed and got beaten by a lowlife thug like Machin, although I can understand that his fighting skills got rusty in five months but still...

Steve and Steele are not going to appear in the next chapter but they will sometime later down the line and to fit in the timeline, the beginning of Age of Ultron has happened, Strucker has been captured and the Avengers have Loki's sceptre but Ultron hasn't been activated yet and the fight between Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Jiaying and Inhumans has not happened yet but Ward did escape. It may be inconsistent but just go with it.

Klein's codename "Rising Tide" is a name of Skye's hacking group fron Season 1 of AoS

And the next chapter, two of my favorite AoS geeks are going to make a cameo, care to guess who? * chuckles *
