Oliver and Nyssa's safe house
Afternoon
"Are you going to get my dad?" Conner asked as Nyssa prepared her weapons.
"That's the first time you've called him that." Nyssa noted as she turned around and he shrugged.
"Just trying it out. So are you?" Conner asked a hint of worry in his voice.
"Yes. We will get him out, I promise Conner." Nyssa said as she knelt down and hugged the boy to her.

"No I'm telling you Warden Strange, if Oliver Queen is killed while in Iron Heights, I will personally see to it that you are brought up on charges of reckless endangerment and gross criminal negligence," Quentin snapped into the phone as Pike walked in to his office, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to."
"I heard about Queen. How is he?" Pike asked as he closed the door.
"He aggravated his injuries but he'll be okay. He's a survivor. But you're not here to talk to me about Oliver, are you?" Quentin asked.
"Actually, I am. Can we talk?" Pike asked.
Iron Heights

In the east entrance to the prison, five guards stood at their post, looking out for trouble. Feeling a gust of wind on his back, one of the guards turned around to see nothing. However, he did notice, to his great surprise, that all of his fellow guards were knocked unconscious. Before he could even reach for his radio, it all went black as someone hit him from behind.
"East entrance is secure." Flash said over the comms.
"West is good to go." Arsenal said as he looked at the unconscious guards in front of him.
"North entrance is mine." Black Canary said as she threw her baton over her shoulder and walked away from the unconscious guards.
I have secured the south entrance." Nyssa said as she placed her sword back in its sheath.
"Dig, how is everything on your end?" Arsenal asked over the comms.
"Everything's good." Diggle said in the security room, the guards unconscious, bound, and gagged, the room locked.
"Okay, the infirmary is in the center of the prison, we'll need to get their quick before anyone realizes that we're in." Flash said over the comms.
"Too little too late for that. You all have guards coming up on you." Diggle said alarmed as he looked at the security cameras.
"We've got it handled." Arsenal said as he notched an arrow.

"I've had calls from the Chief Quentin. He is…greatly concerned about your advocating for Queen." Pike told Quentin as they sat down at his desk.
"If the chief has a problem with me, he can come down here and we can hash it out. Otherwise, I have work to do." Quentin said stiffly.
"Why do you keep supporting him? I mean, I agree that he's done a lot of good, but the law is the law. You used to believe that to. So…why?" Pike asked.
"When I found out about The Undertaking, you didn't believe me, no one would. Afterwards, I walked through The Glades and I saw the crime and chaos that had spread. The city went to crap when Oliver left after The Undertaking, then it got better again once he came back. It was then I realized the truth." Quentin told him.
"What truth?" Pike asked curiously.
"That Oliver Queen is the hero that Star City deserves. Just not the one it always needs. When he's needed, he'll come; he'll save the day, and then disappear, to watch over us silently until he's needed again. To call him anything less than a hero is nothing less than an insult to everything he's done for this city." Quentin said firmly.

Oliver grimaced in pain as he sat up in his bed, hearing the sound of gunshots medical wing. There was a sound of someone being knocked back and then Flash walked into the room.
"About time, I expected you here last night." Oliver said dryly.
"Sorry, we had to plan." Flash told him as he walked over.
Flash helped Oliver out of bed and Oliver growled in pain. With an apologetic look, Flash sped them out of the room. However, they came upon a road block. Nyssa, Black Canary, Arsenal, and Spartan were fighting off what seemed like all of the guards in Iron Heights.
"So good to see you husband." Nyssa said as she fired an arrow, hitting one of the guards in the shoulder.
"Well Dear, I would've hated to miss the party," Oliver said hoarsely as he winced in pain, "so how do we get out of this one? Tell me you have a plan."
"Of course we do," Black Canary said insulted, "we just need to get past these guys."
"Alright then. Could someone get me a gun?" Oliver grunted.
Wordless, Spartan took out a spare and tossed it to Oliver. With his free hand, Oliver expertly caught it and fire twice, hitting two guards in the shoulder. At everyone's surprised looks, he smirked.
"Arrows may be my specialty, but I know my way around a pistol." Oliver quipped.

"Quentin, there have been talks of impeachment. You need to understand how serious this is." Pike tried to reason with his friend.
"What I understand is that our police department has been corrupted by greed and self-interest. And we are persecuting the man and his followers who are doing the job we should be doing because we won't," Quentin said before his phone rang and he had to answer it, "Captain Lance speaking. What? Okay, thanks for notifying me."
"What is it?" Pike asked as Quentin hung up.
"Oliver's team and the Flash have broken into Iron Heights and are currently attempting to make their way out with Oliver." Quentin explained.
Iron Heights

Team Arrow and Flash exited the prison to see their path blocked by what seemed like an entire police force.
"Now would be a good time for that plan guys." Oliver said dryly.
No sooner had Oliver spoken then an arrow landed on the road in front of the police. Within a second, it exploded, sending them back. More arrows landed and exploded, distracting them all. While this was going on, Flash sped off with Oliver. Meanwhile, an unmarked plane flew over the prison. A rope ladder fell from the plane and the remaining four vigilantes began climbing the ladder as the plane took off. Some of the cops fired at them but none of the bullets met their mark as the plane disappeared from view.
