Dawn watched over her sister as Diggle kept suturing up her back. "So what's the word doc, any internal damage?"

Diggle shook his head. "She's lost some blood depends on if she's a fighter."

"She'll be fine." Dawn got out before heading back out and seeing Liz talking with Sara. "So squirt, I want to say I'm sorry for losing track of you."

"It's fine." Liz replied. "Is mom going to be OK?"

Dawn nodded. "Yeah but we're going to let her sleep before we go home."

Diggle looked at the girl in the red duster uneasy. According to Oliver she apparently ripped open a portal and threw Slade and Isabel in whom they've been struggling with for weeks into it. "You want to explain this again."

Dawn pointed to herself. She was too concerned in the car about Buffy to make proper introductions. Same as the operating table. She thinks Moira and Thea know enough. She told them to wait until Buffy is awake for the explanation about Elizabeth seeking out Oliver. She calms down and starts. "I'm Dawn Summers the girl you stitched up is my sister Buffy. Buffy's daughter is Elizabeth."

Sara got the younger girl's attention. Now that they know her mommy is going to be fine maybe they can get her away from this scene. "See, you don't have to be here your mom is fine."

Liz let out a gigawatt Summers smile. "Yeah, but wait what about Joy?"

Dawn shook her head in disbelief. Buffy told her to look out for her cousin and sure enough she is. "Joy's fine squirt, don't worry. She's with her dad."

Sara looked at her concerned. "Well what happens if whoever attacked Liz's mother goes after her?"

Dawn let out an innocent laugh getting the visual of what would happen. She imagines her husband just picking up the dark archer by his leg and slamming him into the ground Bamm Bamm Rubble style. "Sorry, just if anything happens I feel a great deal of pity for anyone who picks a fight with Joy's father." Dawn removed her mask and took off her duster finally resting next to Buffy as she closed her eyes having finally found Liz and having time to rest after spending so much time looking for Liz.

Sara looked at Dawn who just ripped open a portal and threw Slade and Isabel through it. If Dawn is that powerful on her own she's kind of wondering who fathered this Joy. Seeing Dawn's out cold and exhausted she turned to Liz. "So do you want to go see your dad?"

"Yeah" Liz replied in a smile.

Thea sat down feeling gut punched after the long story just wrapped up by her brother. After what the Queen family almost went through tonight Moira decided there can not be any more secrets between them... mostly. Now that Moira knows about her son's double life she might or might not tell him about William in the fall. He seems to be doing much better emotionally then when he first came back.

Thea looked at her brother as all the pieces seemed to fit into place now. "So, ever since you came back from the island, you've been…"

"Yes" Oliver finished before she even could.

Thea felt a thousand emotions all going through her head. This actually explains a lot. "So Roy?"

Oliver sighed. "He got dosed with something called Mirakuru. We're working on a cure but until we can find one he has to stay sedated. Are you OK?"

Thea looked at him. "I'm just thinking… all those times… all those lies you've told me that just couldn't be true. Ends up you were out there. Helping people… saving people… I just want to say thank you." Thea hugged her brother and Oliver just held her close seeing the facade crumble. He thought this would go so much worse.

Oliver stayed as he was until suddenly and unexpectedly to Moira and Thea he grabbed a kitchen knife from the set and threw it into the next room.

Thea and Moira each rose in surprise at Oliver's actions until a middle aged man in a black archer get up came into the room holding the knife.

Thea's eyes widen in a bit of fear and curiosity as Moira just scowled at the man. Oliver looked at him in just quiet acceptance seeing the man that leveled the glades alive and well as Malcolm Merlyn entered the room. At this point he's waiting for Shado pop up and say 'I'm OK. I just want to see how far Slade will go.'

Oliver glared at the dark archer. "What are you doing here Malcolm?"

"I heard about last night. I just wanted to make sure Thea is OK." Malcolm assured them he still remembers Moira's warning but that doesn't mean he's going to abandon his daughter to someone like Slade. "And assure your brother I had nothing to do with last night. I'm not the one that shot the yellow archer."

The door opened as Sara walked out with Elizabeth. Liz looked up and saw Malcolm. "You're not old anymore."

Malcolm looked at the girl not really sure what to say to that... or who she is for that matter to not be freaked out by his League armor. "…Thank you?"

Liz looked around but saw nothing. "Where's my dad?"

Sara pointed to Oliver like it should have been obvious. "He's right there."

Liz shook her head. "That's not him."

Sara pointed to him. "You said your father is Oliver Queen right?" Liz nodded. "Well that's him."

"No it's not." Liz replied and shouted nervously. "He's not my daddy!"

At her scream every glass in the room tipped over. Thea backed up leave it to a Lance bluntness to scare the Mini-Carrie.

Sara grabbed her by the arm "Hey it's…" She quickly backtracked seeing a green and silver arrow in the wall by her arm. She looked up and saw… Oliver in the hood get up? Or something close to it his has more green on it, it's sleeveless and his domino mask is replaced by… sunglasses?

Green Arrow grabbed another arrow and aimed. "The first shot was a warning. Step away from my kid and tell me where my wife is."

Oliver looked at the new archer. "Might be a good idea to put the bow down." Green Arrow followed Oliver's line of sight to Merlyn with his bow ready to let loose an arrow. The Dark Archer knowing Oliver might kill him if he shoots first.

Moira got between the two and looked at them each. "OK, this is my house, no one is shooting anyone."

Green Arrow looked at the woman in awe Dawn warned them all of the fun of the multiverse but he never took it seriously. "Mom?" Green Arrow put the bow down jumped down and Elizabeth bolted free from Sara and ran to her father.

Oliver watched the bow Green Arrow had compact as he easily put it behind his back. When they get a moment he's going to ask about tech seems much more advance then theirs.

Green Arrow took off his glasses showing a much calmer and happier face then the arrow they know as he caught his daughter with a smile of bliss and relief that she's OK. "Are you OK? He didn't hurt you did he?"

Liz shook her head. "No, they protected me to take me to you."

Green Arrow turned to Oliver. "Then I guess I owe you thanks?" He put his hand out. "Oliver Queen"

Oliver looked at him in disbelief but shook his hand. "The real Oliver Queen"

Green Arrow looked at him and laughed. "Yeah, well we're both Oliver Queen. Though my friends call me Ollie." He turned to his mother and… some young woman he doesn't recognize. "I'm sorry it's just…"

Moira looked at him somberly with the way he's acting it's not hard to figure out. "I'm dead in your world aren't I?"

Ollie looked at her uneasily he was hoping to avoid that. "Yes."

"How?" Moira asked.

Ollie looked at her. Some days like this he really wishes he had got there faster then the bomb that had killed Quentin Travers. He wanted to do it. "Honestly, you died for being a good mother."

Moira smiled looking at Oliver and Thea. She'll be the last person to ever be nominated for sainthood but at the end of the day there's very little she wouldn't do for her kids.

Oliver looked at his double a more pressing concern on his mind. "Do you know who attacked your wife?"

Ollie nodded sadly. He never wanted Buffy to be caught paying for his mistakes. "Yeah, his name is Vordigan. He… was my mentor in an ancient Celtic group known as the League of Assassins." Malcolm and Sara share an unspoken look.

Thea looked at her alternate brother confused. "Why is he hurting your family if he's your mentor?"

Ollie shook his head. "All Vordigan ever sees is the code. No one but your self and the cult, he doesn't see Buffy and Elizabeth as my family he sees them as abominations that have to be removed."

Malcolm shook his head for all his shortcomings Tommy was still his son. He'd never hurt him like that... intentionally. As much of a bigot as Ras is he never called a hit on Sara. This Vordigan has to be killed.

Sara looked at the elder assassin seeing his delusions that he's better then Vordigan. Hyprocrite. "So how are there two different Oliver Queens, and how are you here?"

Ollie put Liz on his lap and continued. "Well it was a busy night. Me and Buffy were dealing with this sick woman known as Cupid while Dawn's husband Clark was dealing with a combination of Parasite and Livewire wearing very unique clothes." He looks down at Liz and no can't make the joke right now. "That left Dawn babysitting Liz and her cousin Joy. Vordigan decided what better time to strike then right there. He shot Dawn to the wall with two arrows but before he could do anything to Liz Dawn opened a portal in a desperation that led her here. But Vordigan went through too. Thankfully he uses wooden arrows so they ended up on different sides of the state."

Sara looked at the little girl curious. "How come she can move things with her mind?"

The little girl looked at them and replied. "Because my mom and dad had sex in Vegas."

Ollie pinched the bridge of his nose. That couldn't have gone worse.

With the exception of Moira, and Malcolm most of the adults try not to laugh, even Oliver has to fight it.

Once she had the ability to speak again Moira turned to the other world version of her son. "You taught her that!"

Ollie looked at her blankly before looking down. Aunt Faith just had to make that joke in front of her. "No, that was Aunt Faith running her mouth. And for the record... what's sex Lizzie?"

"Something I don't get till I'm as old as Angel." The little girl replied.

"Who is pushing 260." Ollie finished as everyone let out a laugh even Moira and Malcolm. Speaking of Merlyn. Ollie looked at him. "So who's the dark archer in your world?"

Oliver glared at the man that took his father and his best friend from him. "Malcolm Merlyn and he was just leaving."

Malcolm shook his head. "No, I'm not."

Moira glared at him. If he was the person she slept with at the time she would have gladly told him about Thea. But, to say he changed would be an understatement. "Should I make a phone call Malcolm?"

Malcolm looked at her. "Go ahead, I wouldn't mind having the cavalry here."

Sara just quietly headed upstairs the kid is in good hands and she's not in the mood to deal with this pandering between Malcolm and Oliver. The two green arrows will save the day. They don't need her here. She'll hop out the window and that will be it.

Oliver looked at the Dark archer. "What has you so nervous?"

"Slade Wilson won't take defeat that easily. He's going to send his mirakuru army crashing right through your front door." Malcolm informed him.

Oliver looked gut punched from the announcement. They can barely beat one Mirakuru soldier on their own."

Sara walked into the room and saw the young blond Buffy asleep. Her sister asleep next to her. She quietly walked to the window and pried it open quietly looking down.

"A fall like that won't kill you. It will hurt like hell when you're older though."

Sara backed away from the window. She looked to the girl and Buffy's eyes widened as she involuntarily backed into the bed.

Sara walked slowly to her to show she's not a threat. "Hey, it's OK you're safe here."

Buffy shook her head. "No, I just, I can break out this anytime… it's just… oh god how long was I out?"

"Just a couple hours" Sara assured her.

Buffy smiled and looked at her. "Well things must be real bad if you're here huh?"

Sara looked at her she's leaving what the hell does this woman want from her? "What's that supposed to mean?"

Buffy shook her head. "Come here."

Sara did as asked when to her surprise the woman in an impressive feat of strength hugged her in a vice as the Canary tried to break free but Buffy wasn't budging. "OK… it's nice to see you awake… I think."

Buffy kept Sara where she was and hugged her tighter a bit before letting up a bit. She hugged again and the difference became clear. Future Liz took after her and to be blunt this woman was too busty to be her. "You're not my daughter at twenty five are you?"

"No?"

Buffy nodded mid hug. "So this is awkward huh?"

"A little bit." Sara replied. "Still nice though."

Buffy broke up the hug seeing the look in the girl's eyes. "And you're me mixed with Willow. So can you take me to my daughter?"

"Sure"

Thea walked the hall she should have known there was a reason her brother would keep things from her. Her father and her brother are currently playing sentry duty to make sure Slade didn't leave any surprises. She walked up to her room to find Liz sitting on her bed Indian style and Ollie painting on her face.

Thea looked at her… she's going with niece. "What are you two doing?"

Liz smiled. "Daddy's making me pretty."

Thea turned to her brother from another planet, the billionaire could only shrug it's his daughter. "What? She's a kitty cat."

Thea turned to him. "Why don't you relieve my other brother of sentry duty? I'll stay with her." Ollie gave a quiet nod thankful for it Buffy usually plays stuff like this with her. She focused on her… still niece. "So it must be weird having Oliver Queen as your daddy huh?"

Liz shook her head. "No, he's a good daddy. He always does what he can to protect me. Even when he does things that make me mad."

Thea nodded in agreement with her Oliver. "My Ollie's like that too. What do you say we use some of my make up tricks and get you looking classy?" She puts her hand up and Liz gladly takes it as they walk for the bathroom.

They made it to the mirror in Thea's room until Liz looks in the mirror and screamed in blood curdling fear and cried in tears. "I was wrong he's a bad daddy! He made me look like Solomon Grundy!"

Thea quickly lifted the girl up and put her on her bed. She was hoping she would miss the mirror. "It's OK we can fix this."

Moira came running into the room. "Are you two alright?"

Thea nodded. "We're fine; we just kind of had a mishap with the makeup."

Liz looked at her nervously. "Please don't tell Helena about this."

Moira smiled at the child. "Not one word I promise you."

Thea looked at her mother. "And that's from a woman whom is the greatest secret keeper you'll ever know."

Moira looked at her daughter whom is still throwing some punches apparently. "I did what I thought was best at the time."

"Don't you think I had a right to know Malcolm was my dad?" Thea asked.

Moira sighed knowing this would take time. "Malcolm is your father by DNA. Robert was your dad and everything else."

Thea looked at her as she tried to wash Liz's face. "And how is that different?"

Moira sighed wishing Thea would just accept this. "Thea if I knew how strong your feelings were for Tommy I would have told you then and there. I was going to tell Malcolm when he first came back when you you were little and before he became a psychopath but…"

Thea looked at her for a moment. "What stopped you?"

"We went to a little league game for Oliver and Tommy. I was going to tell him after the game because I remembered what he was like with Tommy. He was everything you would want for a father and I figured having a daughter would help with the pain of losing Rebecca. But during the game Tommy clobbered the ball. Me and Robert we were cheering so loud and you were even clapping without knowing what was going on so you could be involved."

Thea smiled wishing she could remember this as Moira continued. "But Malcolm did nothing. He just watched with cold nothing eyes. Later on in the game at the bottom of the 9th Tommy was on third with two outs. The pitcher's arm just went horribly wrong and it went all the way to the left. Tommy saw a chance to win the game so he ran, he ran as fast as he could for home. But the pitcher got to home base in time for the catcher to throw him the ball and tag Tommy out. All Malcolm did, he didn't get angry, or happy for his son's gutsy move,,, all he said was you made a bad call and your team lost because of you."

Moira let out a sigh not believing how cruel Mlacolm was that day and how worse he got. "That was the last game of Tommy's his father went to. Throughout the year it became the last movie, the last dance, the last fishing trip, the last everything. Malcolm might have been Tommy's father but Robert was his dad as much as he was yours and Oliver's."

Thea looked at her. "So why didn't you tell Tommy when he was older?"

"Same reason I didn't tell Malcolm after the gambit went down when I knew you needed something. I saw how dangerous Malcolm was and I didn't know if he'd have Tommy constantly monitored. Although I should have found a way. I should have let you have a brother after you lost Oliver." Tears started coursing down her eyes. "I didn't know how much you cared for him. I didn't know how little time he would have left. Thea I'm so sorry."

Thea looked at her and after almost losing each other she understands it. And seeing that Malcolm is still alive she understands why she kept quiet. She doesn't appreciate it. She can understand it but she doesn't appreciate it. Thea hugged her mother as Moira just happily took it as she calmed down a bit.

Before long Moira was smiling at Liz as she took a cotton swab with a bit of remover and dabbed at her granddaughter's closed eyes as the makeup instantly vanished to the smile of the little girl.

Thea looked at her amused. "You're loving this aren't you?"

Moira nodded after what she did in the past. It's a complicated mess. "Well I don't exactly see our Oliver having kids anytime soon."

Thea looked at her mother who knew she'd want grandkids. "What about his girlfriend in the black? Whom I'm now realizing is Sara."

Moira smiled as Liz got to her feet. "I don't even think they know where they stand right now." The queen Matriarch turned to Liz. "You want to go to where I hide the good cookies."

The little girl smiled. "Yeah!"

Sara and Buffy were walking the hall only to be cut off by this world's Oliver whom looked at the Canary sadly.

Buffy looked to the archer. "OK, you are?"

Oliver held up his hand. "Oliver Queen and you are?"

"Buffy Queen Summers, your wife from another world." The two heroes shook hands.

"It's nice to see you awake and alert for Liz's sake, she's with my mother and my sister." Oliver turned to Sara. "So, why was the window open?"

Sara looked at him, they had this discussion her soul was lost in the darkness. He knows it better then she does. She nearly blew a friend and a partner's head off the other night. "You know why Ollie."

Oliver looked at the damaged woman in front of him. She reminds him so much of himself when he first came home. "Sara, please stay."

Sara shook her head. "I told you Oliver I love you too much to be with you. I looked the devil in the eyes and gave him my soul. Nothing can change that."

Buffy watched the two with curiosity. She wonders if this is what it was like with her and Angel all those years back.

Oliver frowned seeing she won't budge. He honestly can't figure out why she's doing this now. "Fine, but Slade will be back here tonight, with an army of Mirakuru soldiers, maybe even Buffy's friend that shot her. So please stay for tonight."

Buffy's eyes widened at that. "Vortigan on the Mirakuru… bad thoughts." She turned to Oliver. "Go wake up my sister." She sees Oliver's blank face. "The girl in the red duster, wake her up. We're going to need her help." Oliver left the room leaving her and the person she wants to talk to. "Oliver your boyfriend?"

"Ex" Sara answered.

Buffy gave her a knowing look from her Oliver's past. "Shado, Isabel, or Samantha?"

Sara shook her head. "It's not Oliver, it's me."

Buffy eyed her up and down. "Why, you don't seem as crazy as Isabel?"

Sara looked sadly at what she's fallen to. "Yeah it's just me, I looked the devil in the eyes and I gave him my soul."

Buffy rolled her eyes in disbelief subtract a couple years and this is her. "Oh my god, how did Xander, Willow, and Giles put up with me all theses years, is this how bad I sounded?"

Oliver and Dawn came to a stop seeing the two talking.

Sara shook her head. "We're different, you're fine. Me I'm just there's nothing left in me but darkness. I gave the devil my soul and I became his killer, and that's all I am."

Buffy leaned forward listening to Sara's tirade of self hatred as the two blonds leaned against a railing. "Well you're not all wrong, you are right about one thing. You've been in the darkness for so long you've lost your light."

Sara nodded her head in agreement. She knows what she is. It's why she never should have come home. "Which is why I have to go, I'm not taking Ollie down with me."

Buffy pointed at her in full out mom mode. Maybe it's the resemblance to the future Liz that's pulling it out of her. "No, that's why you have to stay. You have to borrow the light from others until you get your own back."

Sara shook her head sitting back up from the railing. "That's easy for you to say. You have a nice happy life with a wonderful daughter and a sister and husband whom were more then happy to jump through to another world to help you."

Buffy let out a small laugh. "I'm sorry but… do you honestly think I started this way? My life was hell from 15-22 abd it still gets very complicated at times. My life was so messed up I actually went catatonic from it one and a half times."

Sara looked at her. "How do you go half catatonic?"

Buffy rolled her eyes. "Bad future, we fixed it, stop changing the subject."

Sara took a breath. "I'm a killer can you say that? I killed just because I was told to. I gave up my soul and did horrible things I gave…"

Buffy slammed her hands on the railing causing Oliver, Sara, and even Dawn to jump as she started. "God will you stop saying that! You still have a soul! You wouldn't be this conflicted if you didn't. And I've done just as much to earn an audience with the devil that you have. Have you ever tried to fatally wound a girl just to feed her to a vampire? I've done that! Did you ever bang a soulless demon in a nightclub?" Off Sara's shake of her head she replied. "I've done that."

Sara's face contorted she doesn't want to know what that demon looked like. Dear god she's not going to be able to repress that. She never would have guessed seeing how good this woman's life is now. "You're not giving up on me staying are you?"

Buffy shook head. "No. I saw you fight Deathstroke to try to keep him away from your Oliver's family. You're still a good person. Just because we stumble we lose our way it doesn't mean we're lost forever. Sometimes we just need help to pull ourselves back from the dark."

"What makes you so sure I can?" Sara asked.

Buffy stood up and looked up for a face to face. "Because the girl I stabbed. She was in a bad place. She became someone else's killer, like you. With help from a mutual friend he was able to pull her out of the abyss. And we can honestly call each other friends, I am her daughter's godmother and if I ever have a third kid she'll likely be her godmother. We're also two words I never thought we would be old enough to see much less possible…" Sara leaned closer wanting to know as Buffy whispered. "Soccer Moms."

Sara couldn't help but laugh.

Buffy gently touched her on the shoulder. "Just think about what I said OK."

Dawn cleared her throat getting everyone's attention. "Buffy, this Oliver says we're staying here a bit longer then we thought."

Buffy nodded. "Their world's Deathstroke is about to attack with a Mirakuru army. Since they protected Liz from Vordigan this is the least we could do."

Dawn nodded. She still doesn't see how that involves her. "OK"

The two Summers women left leaving the two Lian You castaways where they are.

Sara looked to Oliver. "Were you lost like I was when you came back."

Oliver nodded. "Yeah. But I got lucky. I had Felicity and Diggle."

They both went to catch up with Buffy and Dawn.

Ollie walked into the room finishing his patrol and saw Buffy with her eyes open. "So thank you for telling me my wife is finally awake guys."

Buffy looked at him. "We both knew it would take more then a few arrows to put me down. So where's my baby girl?"

Ollie just shouted. "Lizzie!"

Liz ran up the stairs and smiled seeing Buffy finally awake. "Mommy!" She ran right into her arms and Buffy easily caught the girl the arrow wounds not even bothering her. Liz looked at her father and simply punched him in the arm as Thea and Moira came up with a smile.

Buffy looked at her. "Liz that wasn't very nice."

"He did my make up." Liz replied never taking her eyes off her father."

Buffy smiled. "Which probably means you looked like the walking dead, sorry honey."

Thea smirked. It was an accurate description. "So what happens now?"

Buffy turned to Dawn. "Well we take a pint of her blood, load up injection arrows with it and then you take Slade to wherever he goes and we take Vordigan to where he goes."

Dawn looked at them confused. "And how does that involve me?"

Ollie quietly gulped. "Oh no, the boyscout never told her."

Dawn glared at him. "Told me what?"

Buffy let out a sigh, well he's sleeping on the couch for the foreseeable future. "About a year ago you were abducted by Lex's goons."

"I'm killing my husband when we get home." Dawn firmly decided. Her husband's overprotective streak, Sometimes Clark needs a swift kick. "What I do?"

Buffy looked at her well it wasn't that bad. "Lex deliberately gave you an overdose of Mirakuru. Hoping you'd kill him in a violent rage."

Dawn's eyes changed to green orbs as she seethed in rage. "If it wasn't for the fall out he'd already be dead."

"Who's Lex?" Thea asked.

Dawn calmed down as her eyes went back to normal. "He's a smug jerk that refuses to ever admit it's his fault. He also looks a walking pe…" She looked at Liz and took a calming breath. "Mr. Clean ad. So how do I fit into this again?"

Buffy looked at her. "With help from Dr. Hamilton Clark was able to synthesize a cure and inject it into your blood stream. Your blood is the cure to the Mirakuru in our world and unless you have crazy blood types here the cure should work fine here too. Emil does crazy good work."

Oliver looked at the young woman. "What's your blood type?"

"O negative" Dawn answered.

Oliver nodded. "I'm going to get Diggle to find Felicity and have them bring Roy and all the injection arrows they can here."

Dawn turned to her older sister. "As opposed to I don't know use my magic to bring Clark over then sit down and have cocoa while he beats down Slade's army in all of twenty seconds."

Buffy nodded seeing that plan too, a much easier plan, but. "Two things, it's been a day since we lost contact with Clark. He could be fighting someone like the Atomic Skull right now and how many people would die if he just disappeared in the middle of that. Two, we don't know if there's a Clark in this world. If he still doesn't wear glasses we could really screw up his life."

Dawn put her hand up knowing when she's beat. "OK you guys win. I'll go give some blood."

Dawn pouted and walked for the infirmary she hates needles but they likely have a fight on their hands.

Slade walked in his base in a blind rage. This close, this close, then yellow bitch shows up and knocks him on his ass. Then the one in red dumped him just outside of Central City. "How! How did she do it?"

"Magigirl's portals, they're quite frustrating aren't t they?"

Slade looked up and saw another archer in black. "Another of the kid's flunkees?"

Vortigan shook his head. "You have a grudge against Oliver Queen."

"I have a promise to keep."Slade replied in regards to his brother. "I intend to give him complete despair. Taking away his family one by one."

Vortigan let out a calm and sadistic smile. "Sounds like we have a common enemy."

Isabel looked at the man. "What do you want?"

"To help." Vordigan replied.

Author Notes

It's an Arrow/Buffy/Smallville crossover. I really wish there were 3 way crossovers like twisting the Hellmouth.

Thanks to everyone who followed and favorited this.
