"We really did it Oli, we really managed to stop that awful drone before it destroyed our city", Sara said in awe while leaning on her fiancé's shoulder, overwhelmed by the fact that they actually succeeded despite the obstacles that kept coming towards them.
"Yes we did my love, and we did it together", agreed Oliver, reveling in the facts that he not only had the woman he truly loved by his side, but also that his city was still living. When Sara had nearly slipped and fallen off the drone's side, she wasn't the only one who was frightened during that moment. Oliver himself was feeling terrified when it happened, afraid he was going to lose Sara yet again. But this time, he saved her.
Taking a moment to reflect on the other times that he had failed, he realized that no matter what, she had always managed to survive and return to him. When he first lost her on the Gambit, they had reunited on the Amazo, then when he thought he lost her for real on that boat during his first battle with Slade, they were reunited yet again in Star City, and then when it really looked like she was gone for good last year after being stabbed in the abdomen due to Malcolm's machinations, she was miraculously resurrected by the Lazarus Pit and once more returned to him. It was as though no matter what, they always found their way back to each other. For Oliver, it was their destiny, a sentiment that Sara shared.
As they continued their flight, Lyla began filling them in on what had happened on the ground. She revealed that after Oliver and Sara jumped onto the drone, Roy and Thea went over to help the rest of Team Arrow who were still battling the ghosts on the ground, and, with the help of ARGUS Special Forces who joined the fight, the ghosts were subdued, rounded up, and arrested. That was the good news. The bad news was that Darhk had escaped yet again and seemingly vanished into thin air with the rest of his associates, information that caused Oliver to curse and slam his fist onto the floor of the aircraft.
"I can't believe that man got away again", he exclaimed with fury. "And after what he tried to do to my city and what he's planning to do. I swear that when we meet again, I'm going to kill him. In this case, I'm making an exception to my 'no kill' vow just for him. I may have brought this darkness upon my city, but I can fix it which means that it's my responsibility to end it."
"And I will be there with you, standing at your side and helping you when the time comes", Sara responded determinedly, clutching the hand of the man she loved as she gave him her full support in his planned endeavor to end Darhk's reign of terror once and for all, not just for their city's sake but for the sake of the entire world. Oliver squeezed her hand in return and then pulled her to him for a deep, passionate kiss which she returned. Lyla happened to turn her head towards them at that moment while still flying the aircraft and smiled at her friends expression of love for each other, felling grateful to have that same love and passion with her husband. They all continued on towards their destination where they'd rendezvous with the rest of Team Arrow and the ARGUS Special Forces who helped them in order to figure out their next move, each of them knowing that while they had won tonight's battle, they still had to win the war against Darhk and HIVE. And the war wouldn't be won until complete victory was accomplished.
The End
A/N Oliver's quote about his responsibility to end the darkness came from the grave scene when he spoke to Barry. Also, the reason I used gas as Darhk's weapon of choice is because the conversation between him and Oliver about gas chambers on "Blood Debts" seems to imply that his plan involves gassing everyone. I also included those other cities he plans to attack in my story because it's clear his plans are global on canon. Finally, Metropolis and National City were mentioned because it's possible "Supergirl" is in the same universe as the Flarrowverse and because the Flash newspaper from the future mentions the Waynes name. And if the Wayne family exist in the Flaarrowverse, then Gotham must also exist. And Rip Hunter did say he saw men of steel die and dark knights fall.
The reason I've written this story along with my other Canarrow (Oliver/Sara) and Assassin Canarrow (Nyssa/Oliver/Sara) fics is because while I ship Olicity, I also ship Canarrow and want to draw attention to them. I also want to see what an Oliver/Nyssa pairing would be like on canon. And there's more than enough Olicity on this site anyway (over 1,000). My main goal is to create a large, popular Canarrow and Assassin Cannarrow fandom that rivals Olicity in size while providing the "Arrow" writers with these alternative pairings in order to show them which pairings those of us who ship Canarrow and Assassin Canarrow want to replace Olicity if it ends on canon. And I don't Oliver to be with Laurel. Another goal of mine is to have 1,000 Canarrow and Assassin Canarrow stories on this site. But I REALLY need help from all of you who support me, this project, feel that there's enough Olicity, and don't want Oliver/Laurel to be endgame on canon and urge you to PLEASE join me in filling up this site with Canarrow and Assassin Canarrow. A few other authors have agreed to join me and two of them have posted a few of their own fics, but I would like to ask for more people to join us. PLEASE help me reach the 1,000th mark since I can't do it alone. And your fics can be whatever length you want.
If anyone wants to write a prequel or sequel to this fic, PLEASE go right ahead. You have my permission!
Here's a new Canarrow story challenge for anybody who wants it: In it, Team Arrow join forces with the Legends Of Tomorrow in order to stop Darhk and Savage who've joined forces. And while Oliver is with Felicity, Sara is involved with Ray, which the writers strongly implied would happen on canon in "Legends". It's ironic since with Olicity and Rasara (my name for Ray/Sara), the writers have switched the couples around. Back to my challenge, even though Oliver is with Felicity and Sara is with Ray, the two of them end up back together while Felicity and Ray rekindle their romance. Basically, the fic starts Olicity and Rasara but ends with Canarrow and Raylicity. But no infidelity involved please!
Happy New Year to everybody.
