"So, how are you 2 dealing with your new accomodations?" Oliver asked as he entered the truck that Laurel and Jasmine were calling home until Slade was off the table.
"I'm fine, but I think that Jasmine is getting a little cabin fever. She wants to go outside and play." Laurel said as he looked at their sleeping daughter.
"I know, this is for her safety. I promise, once Slade is off the table, you can go home, but for right now, this is the safest option." Oliver said and Laurel nodded.
"I know that, but she's too young to understand that. But I have some good news." Oliver said.
"And that is?" Laurel asked.
"The cure's done. We're going hunting for Slade as soon as we get it." Oliver said.
"Oliver, we need to have a talk." Laurel said.
"About what?" Oliver asked.
"When the twins are born, I'm going to need you here, as in, not running around in a green hoodie every night, at least until we get the kids to sleep through the night. You promised that you were going to be there this time and you can't do that if you're also being the Green Arrow. I'm not asking you to give up being the Green Arrow forever, but I need you to cut back on it for awhile after the twins arrive." Laurel said.
"I know and I already have a plan for that. I've asked John to fill in for me before, like when William first came to stay with me after Diaz outed me as the Green Arrow. John's always wanted to be the Green Arrow, so I think he'll be happy to fill in for me." Oliver said and Laurel smiled.
"John's always been the most loyal friend to you. He'll make a great godfather for the twins." Laurel said and Oliver nodded without second thought.
"I also asked him if he'd be the one to marry us, since he is an ordained wedding minister." Oliver said.
"I can think of no one better." Laurel said, right as Oliver's phone went off.
"Hello?" Oliver asked.
"The cure just arrived, along with a location on Slade. He's holed up in the location of the bunker underneath Sebastian Blood's campaign office." John said.
"I'm on my way." Oliver said.
"What's going on?" Laurel asked.
"The cure has been delivered to the bunker and we have a location on Slade. It's time to move out." Oliver said.
"Just be careful." Laurel said as she kissed him.
"Why would I start now?" Oliver asked with a grin as he left.
"How much of the cure do we have?" Oliver asked as he arrived at the lair.
"Enough to take down an army and then some." Roy said and Oliver nodded.
"Start filling injection arrows with the cure and then suit up. We're taking Slade down before he has a chance to mass produce the serum." Oliver said and they all nodded and Felicity and Thea went to begin filling the arrows while Oliver pulled John aside for something.
"What's up?" John asked.
"I need you to start practicing your archery." Oliver said.
"Why?" John asked.
"Because once the twins are born John, I need you to be the Green Arrow again." Oliver said.
"Wait, what?" John asked.
"I promised Laurel I'd be there more often for the twins, which means that at least until they can sleep through the night, I'm gonna have to cut back on my hours of being the Green Arrow. And since you already have experience in covering for me in that regard and this time, you're not physically compromised, I want you to cover for me." Oliver said.
"Are you sure?" John asked.
"Positive. So, you in?" Oliver asked.
"Absolutely man." John said as they shook hands.
"Good, because you're the only one with the talent and the skills needed for the job, since you've proven you can handle this already." Oliver said and John nodded.
"Laurel also signed off on you officiating our wedding." Oliver said and John nodded.
"When is that going to be anyways?" John asked.
"Probably after the twins are born." Oliver said, right as Thea approached them.
"We're ready if you are." Thea said.
"Let's move out." Oliver said as they all moved to suit up.
