The Glades

Roy was slapping the water out of a large bowl on the table in an abandoned warehouse as the Arrow and Canary observed him.

"You know, I slapped water out of a bowl yesterday." Roy said, annoyed. "And I slapped water out of a bowl the day before."

"You must be getting pretty good at it." The Arrow said sarcastically as the Canary sighed and dragged the Arrow away.

"This is getting nowhere." Sara whispered as Oliver sighed. "He's getting impatient and it's gonna blow up in our faces."

"He's not gonna end up like Slade, we won't let him." Oliver reasoned. "This is different—"

"I know but…" Sara turned to Roy, worried. "That anger and impatience… it may not be the same like with Slade but I can't help but wonder, what if this is going to be worse this time?"

Then, Roy hit the water so hard that the bowl broke as he punched right through the table and when he pulled his hand out, there was no scratch on it as both vigilantes turned to him, worried.

"And this is how you put a guy in the hospital last week." The Arrow said.

"How'd you know about that?" Roy demanded as he was looking at his trembling hand before putting it into his pocket. "It's none of your business."

"It became our business when you accepted our help." The Canary pointed out. "We knew someone like you. He was injected with the same thing."

"He was my friend." The Arrow added. "But the Mirakuru warped his mind to the point, where I didn't even recognize him anymore."

"Who was this guy?" Roy asked. "How come I've never heard of him? Or that Mirakuru? Is there anything you can tell me about him?"

"Yeah. I had to put an arrow through his eye." The Arrow replied as the Canary tensed.

Three years ago

"We need to find Ben quickly." Richard said as he, Sara, Ducra and some monks were going out from the caverns into the desert before Sara and Richard entered a car and headed towards a small town, where was waiting for them someone Sara had not seen in a while in the car in an opposite direction as they went out.

"Richard?" Nicole whispered, widening her eyes.

"Nicky…" Richard gasped as Henry, Jack and Chloe were glaring at him but Nicole rushed to him and hugged him.

"My God, I thought you were dead—"

"Nicky, I'm glad to see you but we need to hurry, something's going on. It's bad." Richard explained.

Present, the Lair

"How's it going with Roy?" Diggle asked.

"Not well." Oliver grunted as he was working out on a salmon ladder.

"I can't help but worry, you know." Sara sighed.

"You're not considering killing a kid, are you?" Henry asked, worried.

Sara sighed again, this time deeper. "I know that this is different and Roy's nothing like Slade. And we're not exactly lying to him but I'm worried what might happen if he lost control. Besides, Sin would never forgive me if I put him down. But, I just think we need to be ready for the worst."

Oliver reluctantly nodded as he sighed before the computer beeped.

"What's that?" Diggle asked as Oliver walked over.

"We thought it might be a good idea to keep tabs on Iron Heights network and their internal communication after the earthquake." Chloe explained before she took a look and sneered. "You've got to be kidding me."

"What?" Henry asked before looking too and banging the table, seething. "Son of a bitch."

"OK, both of you are pissed, now you're worrying me." Oliver said warily.

"Ben Turner. He got out and killed ten guards during the escape." Chloe explained as Sara seethed and threw a mannequin down from the glass case, roaring.

"Bastard!"

"What's her problem with Turner?" Oliver asked in a low tone.

"It's a long story." Henry grumbled, glaring.

"You think that would have made the news." Diggle noted.

"Unfortunately, just like with Mathis, the brass decided to keep it quiet." Chloe sighed.

"Any idea where he's headed?" Oliver asked.

"To the morgue, if I find him." Henry hissed.

"OK, what's your beef with Turner?" Diggle asked before noticing the looks in Sara's, Chloe's and Henry's eyes and decided not to push further as he raised his hands in surrender. "Never mind, forget I asked."

"Guys, we'll let you know, once we have a lead on him." Chloe promised. "You should keep an eye on Roy."

The Glades

Back in the warehouse, the Arrow was throwing rapid punches at the Wing Chun dummy as Roy and the Canary were watching.

"Now you." The Arrow ordered as Roy approached the dummy. "Go slowly." Roy started punching the dummy before the Arrow interrupted him. "Stop. This isn't about learning how to throw a punch. This is about learning to control your strength."

"First water slapping, now this." Roy said, annoyed. "When are you gonna run out of ways to make me look stupid?!" He punched the head clean off the dummy as the Canary was reaching for a knife in her belt as the Arrow stopped her with a glare. "All I'm learning is new ways to get pissed off and in case neither of you have noticed, I'm already pretty good at that."

The Canary seethed as the Arrow turned to Roy. "There's nothing wrong with anger, Roy. Anger is energy. But you need to learn to channel it in a positive way."

"Like putting the hurt on guys going after the city. Let me try hitting something that'll actually hit back." Roy implored.

"Too soon." The Canary said. "You're not ready."

"Get me out there with you, guys." Roy begged. "One night. All this, it would be a lot easier to take."

The Arrow stared, considering, while the Canary shot him a glare full of disapproval before their comms buzzed.

"Go ahead." The Canary called out.

"SCPD's network just lit up with a fresh homicide, multiple stab wounds." Diggle informed them through the comms.

"Claw marks, definitely Turner's M.O." Henry added. "The victim was an architect, Turner stole blueprints of his designs, including Malcolm Merlyn's house."

"What would Turner want with Merlyn's house?" The Arrow wondered.

"Good question. All we know is that all of Malcolm's holdings, the house included, are in receivership." Chloe explained.

"Who's that you're talking to? Oh, wait, let me guess, you can't tell me that, either." Roy said sarcastically.

The Arrow sighed before turning to Roy. "A guy that we put in prison got out and we have an idea, where he's headed." He stared at Roy before sighing deeply. "Do you have one of your hoodies?"

"Do you seriously have to ask?" Roy replied sarcastically, while the Canary glared at the Arrow incredulously.

Merlyn Manor

The Arrow, the Canary and Roy were walking down the hall as the nostalgia took over both vigilantes. "Whatever happens, whoever you run into, do not engage." The Arrow ordered.

"And don't touch anything." The Canary added as Roy was lifting the sheet over the table and saw the framed photo of Tommy.

"This is his kid, right?" Roy asked. "The guy that died?"

"Yes." The Arrow said quietly.

"You two know your way around this place." Roy pointed out. "You guys been here before?" Then they heard a new sound. "What was that?"

"It came from underneath." The Canary realized. "There's a large garage down there."

"Let's go." The Arrow ordered as they faced Turner and his men as they were putting in the van a large device as the Arrow's and the Canary's blood ran cold.

"You son of a bitch." The Canary hissed.

"Well, well, well, small world, is it, birdie?" Turner smirked.

"You're not taking that thing with you." The Canary sneered. "You have no idea, what are you playing with." She said as a dreadful memory resurfaced.

"Big machine, makes earthquakes?" Turner asked sarcastically.

"You're playing with forces you don't understand!" The Canary snapped. "You have no idea what happens if this gets into the wrong hands!" She reminded.

"Yeah. I get paid." Turner said indifferently as the Canary glared. "Close it up!" The Canary rushed at him and pulled out her batons, engaging Turner, who blocked with his claws and retaliated, trying to scratch the Canary as she dodged. "Just like old times, is it, Sara?"

"This won't end up like the last time." The Canary snarled as Roy walked to the van, smashing the window and pulling the driver out from the van as he kicked his gun away.

"That thing killed eight of my friends." Roy snarled as he flipped the man over and started to pummel him as the Canary kept on fighting Turner as her batons locked with Turner's claws but he kicked her on the floor as the Arrow was focused on stopping Roy as Turner rushed to the van and drove away.

"Hey, that's enough!" The Arrow yelled as he grabbed Roy, while the Canary got up on her feet, screaming in frustration and kicking the box with tools and glaring at Roy.

Later, the Lair

Sara punched the dummy relentlessly as she screamed, frustrated.

"That's never a good sign." Henry muttered.

"What happened?" Diggle asked.

"Roy Harper." Oliver growled.

"You two took him out in the field…" Diggle asked, angered.

"He wasn't listening to us, Diggle!" Oliver snapped. "We're trying to reach him but he lost control! Then, he nearly killed somebody, which we obviously couldn't let happen and in the process…"

"Turner got away." Chloe realized. "This guy's tough."

"What was he looking for in the mansion anyway?" Henry asked.

"A prototype earthquake machine." Oliver said grimly as Chloe, Diggle and Henry stared.

"Holy God…" Diggle whispered.

"Why would Turner want that thing?" Henry asked. "Unless… someone hired him to steal it."

Sara nodded as she handed him a watch. "This was on one of the guys that were with him."

"Fingerprints. We can get a lead." Chloe nodded as Sara was looking at a knife in her hand.

"What is it, Sara?" Oliver asked as he turned to her.

"I'm just worried that Roy will end up like Slade." Sara said. "Maybe you were right. If we had been honest with him from the start, all of this could have been avoided."

"Well, we'll never know now." Oliver sighed. "But I'm not gonna let what happened with Slade happen to Roy too." He promised.

Three years ago

They were heading to the town, where they entered three hotel rooms, in one was Richard, Nicole and Riley and in the other were Henry and Chloe and Sara entered the last one, where was waiting…

"Jack!" Sara hugged him tightly as he smiled.

"Hey, Sara." Jack smiled as next to him was a young girl, around his age, with brunette hair. "Sara, this is Naomi Singh, my girlfriend. Naomi, this is Sara."

"Nice to meet you." Naomi smiled. "Jack talks a lot about you. I've heard you were in trouble, so we came to help."

"What happens now?" Sara asked.

"We'll get Nicky, Riley and Henry to safety." Jack explained. "As for Richard, we'll see, once we stop Turner and whoever hired him to dig into that place you were at."

"We need to find him first."

"What's going on out there?" Naomi asked as she looked outside the window to see Turner and behind him some people, with pale white eyes, as if they were in some sort of trance.

Present, the Glades

"You're late." The Arrow said as Roy entered the warehouse.

"I tried to get my girlfriend to leave town. But she won't." Roy explained.

"You cannot bring her into this." The Arrow growled.

"But how am I supposed to lie to her and protect her at the same time?" Roy asked. "How do you do it?" How do you keep secrets from people in your life?"

"By remembering it's the only way to keep them safe." The Arrow explained.

"No, keeping them safe is what keeps them safe." Roy protested. "Telling people the truth, but you, you won't tell me anything. Not about the Mirakuru, and this other guy. And you got me slapping water and hitting dummies instead."

"Roy, you're spiraling and you need to calm down." The Arrow reasoned.

"No, I need to save Thea." Roy argued and was about to walk away before the Arrow grabbed him by his arm.

"That thing is out in the open because of you. I think you've done enough." The Arrow said coldly.

"Let go of me." Roy snapped.

"Roy—"

"I said, let go of me!"

"Get control." The Arrow ordered. "If not for me or yourself, then do it for Thea."

Roy freed himself of the Arrow's hold. "What the hell do you know about Thea?" He demanded. "Don't you dare talk about her!" He threw a punch as the Arrow sidestepped and got Roy back on his feet as he was falling and then he was throwing punches before the Arrow grabbed him by his hoodie and got behind him, restraining him.

"Are you done?" The Arrow asked as Roy deflated, before he spun around, hitting the Arrow in the chest as he flied across the room and fell on the table as it broke in two.

"No, I'm not done." Roy snapped as he walked to the vigilante. "I'm gonna stop this thing and if you want to stop me, try putting another arrow in me. Go ahead. Because I heal fast now. But get in my way, then I'll give you a good look at that anger you're so worried about me losing control of." He warned before leaving.

Later, the Lair

As Sara handed Oliver an ice pack, she seethed. "He's lost it. Just like Slade."

"No." Oliver interrupted her. "We don't know it yet. And I'm not gonna give up on him yet. He's nothing like Slade, he just needs help."

Sara glared. "I know you want to believe it but considering what he's doing—"

"Are you really gonna kill Roy, just because he's been injected with Mirakuru? He's Sin's best friend." Oliver reminded.

"So was Slade to you back on the island." Sara shot back.

"Sara, you said you wanted to be better than that." Oliver countered.

"This is the Mirakuru we're talking about!" Sara snapped.

"Hey, guys!" Chloe intervened. "Calm down, OK? Both of you. We don't know if Roy becomes like Slade. He's just a kid full of anger, who needs guidance. Slade was… vengeful. You can't write him off, just because of Mirakuru. Give him a chance."

Sara was about to open her mouth before Henry intervened. "Guys, I think I have something. The fingerprints match Interpol's database, our man worked for Milo Armitage. Black market arms dealer."

"Turner's selling the device to him." Sara realized.

"And he's in Starling Docks." Henry added.

Three years ago

Richard, Sara, Henry, Chloe, Jack and Naomi approached Turner and the small group of people behind him.

"Ben. Stop." Richard pleaded. "You can't do this. Come back."

The people behind Turner were groaning and holding their heads as they collapsed on the floor. "No!" Turner screamed as he ran down the town.

"Ben!" Richard yelled as he and Sara and Naomi followed him, while Chloe, Henry and Jack were tending to the people.

Present, Starling Docks

Turner and Armitage were talking, when the Arrow and the Canary slid down the zipline as the Arrow shot Armitage in the shoulder and in the leg as they looked around. "Looks like your partner abandoned you." The Arrow said.

"He's not my partner, he's just someone I hired to do a job." Armitage replied as Turner jumped down on them from above and knocked the Canary on the ground as she blocked his claws with her batons. "And it turns out it was money well spent."

The Canary forced Turner back as she got up on her feet. "He's mine." She growled.

"You haven't changed, too stubborn to give up." Turner smirked as he engaged the Canary and swung his claws.

Three years ago

Sara and Richard cornered Turner, who glared at them before lunging at them with his claws as Sara and Richard jumped back and Sara fought Turner with her batons as he blocked and kicked her in the stomach with his knee, headbutting her as he swished his claws and she blocked again and kicked him back.

Present

The Canary blocked with her batons as she spun around, hitting Turner in the head with her elbow and swiftly hitting him in the knee and in his chin.

Three years ago

Turner quickly swung his claws as Sara jumped back but she fell down as Richard stepped up, grabbing Turner by his arm before he could finish Sara off and grabbed him in chokehold until Turner passed out.

Present

The Canary was about to deliver a final blow but Turner blocked with his claws. "Not this time!"

Suddenly, Roy punched Turner, sending him flying and started to pummel him, just as Armitage set off the device and smashed the trigger.

"No!" The Arrow exclaimed before knocking Armitage out and trying to destroy the container door with an explosive arrow before turning to Roy. "Roy, I need your help!"

"Roy, stop!" The Canary yelled as she saw him pummeling Turner relentlessly.

"Roy, I need you to stop!" Oliver said as he grabbed Roy by his arm and put his hood down, revealing his face as Roy stared in shock. "The earthquake device is in there." Oliver explained as he pointed to the container. "The steel is military grade; it's built to withstand a bomb, but not you. Think about Thea." He insisted.

"And Sin." Sara added. "Because both of them could die without your help. We know you love Thea and Sin is your best friend. We've seen it. You can save them. Focus, Roy. Focus on both of them, or they die. We all die." She told him as Roy stood before the crate, clenching his fist and punching a small hole in the door as Oliver threw in an explosive arrow and he, Sara and Roy ran away from the crate as the earthquake device was destroyed in the explosion.

For a moment, they looked at the flaming wreckage as Roy then stared at both Oliver and Sara in stunned amazement. "You're—"

"Yeah." Oliver nodded.

"Last year, you guys saved my life." Roy said. "And I don't mean from the guy, who kidnapped me. I mean… you saved me. You two gave me purpose." He held out his hand as Oliver turned to Sara, who nodded.

"We're not giving up on you yet, Roy." Sara promised as she and Oliver shook hands with him before Sara approached Turner, to Oliver's and Roy's worry as she neared him, whispering to his ear as he was half-conscious.

"This was for Africa… and for Naomi. I will not kill you…" Sara hissed. "Out of respect and because of a promise I've made. But if we ever meet again, I'll finish what I started back then." She promised.

Three years ago, Africa

"Turner's in lockup." Jack promised as the armored van was leaving.

"And the All-Caste? The monastery?" Sara asked.

"We'll need to tell Ducra what happened." Richard said.

"Are you coming with us, Dad?" Riley asked.

"I will, I promise." Richard nodded. "But we need to finish something first."

"Lead the way." Naomi said as she, Sara, Richard and Jack entered the car and as Naomi looked into the mirror, for a moment, her eyes turned pale white before regaining normal color.

Present, the Lair

Oliver and Sara led Roy inside as he turned to them. "Is this the part, where you kill me because I know your secret?"

"You really think we'd kill you?" Sara asked.

"My sister's boyfriend and Sin's best friend?" Oliver added.

"Well, you did shoot me in the leg." Roy pointed out. "Forgiven, by the way."

"Sin does know, who we are…" Sara sighed.

"But Thea, she can never know." Oliver added sharply.

"I get that feeling if I did tell her, that would be, when you guys kill me." Roy nodded quickly.

"Trust that instinct." Oliver agreed as Roy nodded nervously.

"OK, alright, how many guys know what… who you are?"

"Too many." Sara said. "Asides from Sin, the people, who matter are here." She introduced Roy to their partners.

"John Diggle, Chloe Sullivan and Henry Fyff."

"Welcome aboard, Roy." Diggle shook his hand with Roy as Chloe and Henry followed him.

"Wait, I know you." Roy recognized him. "You're Nicole's brother, right? That woman, at which Sin's been staying at for a while, who cooks nice roast beef?"

"Yeah." Henry chuckled. "Speaking of, I should go check in on her."

Later

Henry was driving his car down the road, when suddenly, the tire cracked and his car skidded and he hit the lamp as he whipped forward, face first on the airbag and was slowly passing out, when suddenly, someone pulled him out from the car as his vision blurred and he wasn't sure but the face of the person seemed familiar.

"Richard…" Henry whispered as he passed out.

So, what do you guys think about it?
