"So, Barry and Iris are speedsters now?" John asked when Oliver brought the whole team up to speed on what happened during his and Laurel's trip to Central City.
"Yep." Oliver said simply.
"Man, wait til Jasmine finds out her dad knows the Flash." Thea said.
"Yeah, I'd rather not, just because it'll give me a headache. Speaking of Jasmine, how was she?" Oliver asked.
"She was perfect." Thea assured him.
"Uh huh." Oliver said, unconvinced.
"Really, she was." Thea said.
"Whatever you say. But anyways, anything to report on the Malcolm front?" Oliver asked.
"Actually yes, but it involves breaking into Merlyn Global's R&D lab." Felicity said.
"Good call waiting. See if you get us the plans of the building and where we need to go. Once that's done, we can devise a means of attack." Oliver said and Felicity nodded as she got to work.
"So, how'd Laurel do with a week away from her baby?" Thea asked.
"Hopefully, it'll help her stop thinking of Jasmine as her baby, since she's 5 now and she's going be starting elementary school soon." Oliver said.
"Yeah, but remember, after you died, she was all Laurel had for 5 years." Thea said.
"Still." Oliver said as Felicity grinned.
"Got something." She said as she pulled up the plans to the facility.
"Call Roy and tell him to suit up and meet us there." Oliver said as he pressed a button in their new lair, which was formerly Helix HQ and a wall popped out, revealing all 4 suits.
"Speedy on site." Speedy said as she reached her position.
"Spartan ready." Spartan said.
"Arsenal in position." Arsenal.
"Overwatch on the comms, Green Arrow, you're cleared to proceed." Overwatch said.
"Copy that. So what exactly am I looking for again?" Green Arrow asked as he infiltrated the facility.
"Optic scrambler tech, 6th floor, experimental media tech." Overwatch said.
"Copy that." Green Arrow said as he stealthily made his way into the facility.
"Okay, I'm in and I've secured the package." Green Arrow said as he grabbed a scrambler.
"Great, get out of there before you're busted." Overwatch said.
"Yeah, about that." Speedy said as she saw her father jump in.
"What is it?" Green Arrow asked.
"We've been made. I've got sights on Dark Archer and I don't think I have a choice about engaging." Speedy said as she and Dark Archer exchanged arrows.
"Spartan, Arsenal, converge on her position, I'm on my way, Overwatch, tap into the security footage so we can kill two birds with one stone." Green Arrow said.
"How so?" Overwatch asked.
"Get me unmasking Malcolm on surveillance and then you can use the scrambler I grabbed to reveal him and then we can justify killing him." Green Arrow said.
"Copy that." they all said as they all moved out.
Speedy was getting her ass kicked by Dark Archer when suddenly, a green arrow was fired into his shoulder.
"Let's see how well you fare against me." Green Arrow said.
"With pleasure." Dark Archer said as he unsheathed his sword and the 2 began fighting, blade on bow, but to Dark Archer's surprise, Green Arrow matched him, blow for blow.
"How are you able to match me?" Dark Archer asked as Green Arrow used a flying spin kick to send him flying back.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Green Arrow said as Spartan and Arsenal arrived.
"Get Speedy out of here now." Green Arrow ordered, since his sister was pretty beaten up.
"We're not leaving you." Spartan said.
"I can handle myself against him, but she needs medical attention now." Green Arrow shouted and both members of the team nodded as they helped Speedy up.
"Overwatch, get the medbay prepped in the lair now. Speedy's going to need the whole treatment." Spartan said.
"On it and I'll prepare to contact Dr. Schwartz at the Star City General if need be." Overwatch said.
Green Arrow and Dark Archer were continuing their battle, with Green Arrow gaining the upper hand and he was enjoying putting Malcolm through every bit of a ringer that Malcolm had put him through back when they did this dance back on Earth One.
"Overwatch, are you ready?" Green Arrow asked.
"Rolling." Overwatch confirmed.
"Then time for Malcolm to star on camera." Green Arrow said as he put Dark Archer in choke hold and removed his hood.
"Say cheese." Green Arrow said to Malcolm.
"Got it." Overwatch said.
"See ya idiot." Green Arrow said as he slammed Malcolm into the ground.
When he came to, Green Arrow was gone.
"Here you go." Oliver said as he tossed the scrambler to Felicity.
"I will get to work on that immediately." Felicity said as Oliver walked over to the med area, where Thea was lying on a bed.
"Is she okay?" Oliver asked.
"I patched her up, but Oliver, the extent of her injuries is the same state yours were after your first run-in with Malcolm. She needs to be examined by a real doctor. We've already worked up a cover story." John said.
"Good, let's get her to Star City General, Felicity, let us know when you crack something." Oliver said as he went to change.
