Oliver was approaching the Bratva garage as Sara grabbed him by his arm. "Ollie, what are you doing? You're enlisting Bratva to help us?"

"What choice do we have, Sara?" Oliver snapped. "Slade knows everything about us. We need to do whatever it takes to stop him."

"You know how dangerous Slade is." Sara protested. "Have you forgotten what he's done the last time five years ago? Bratva stands no chance against him and how do you think Anatoly will react?"

Oliver sighed. "I just… I don't know what else am I supposed to do."

"I know someone who can help." Sara promised. "I hope."


Later, the Lair

As they entered the lair, Sara widened her eyes and rushed to an old friend of hers, hugging him tightly. "Jack!"

"Hey, Sara." Jack laughed. "It's good to see you too." He kissed her on her forehead. "I came here to visit Henry and Chloe." He turned to Chloe.

"What's going on?" Sara asked.

"I told Jack about Slade." Chloe explained.

"I'll tell you what I know so far from my contacts at A.S.I.S." Jack said. "After the Amazo, Slade was rescued near the Philippine coasts and treated back to health and for the following three years was training new recruits into the agency.

But, according to my contacts, over the time he showed signs of brutality, loss of restraint and possible psychosis. Then, the day they discovered Oliver, Slade slaughtered dozens of agents and stole a prototype body armor. After that, he became a ghost. Until now, apparently."

"And what are we gonna do?" Oliver asked.

"We've tried tracking Slade down, once Henry and Chloe told me but we have nothing solid. A lot of offshore accounts etc." Jack explained. "We're trying to find out how he's moving."

"Slade's former A.S.I.S. He knows how to be a ghost." Oliver said.

"But that's not the only reason I came here." Jack added. "I've been keeping tabs on our old friend Benjamin Turner." Sara scowled. "Lyla's our contact at A.R.G.U.S. and they're using him, alongside with Floyd Lawton and God-knows-whatever-scumbags in their Task Force X. The Suicide Squad."

Oliver clenched his fists, glaring as Sara noticed the look in his eyes. "You know what it is, Ollie?"

"Basically, a black ops team of scumbags she uses in exchange for reducing their sentences and she plants a micro-explosive in their spines as an insurance policy." Oliver said simply.

"So, something like the Dodger." Sara realized.

"Sort of." Oliver nodded. "The nerve of her—"

"Turner, Lawton… I don't like it." Chloe growled. "After what those two psychos have done—"

"Yeah…" Jack looked down sadly.


Three years ago, Africa

"You don't know what have you gotten yourself into, do you, Sara?" Jade smirked.

"What do you want?" Sara glared at her as she pulled out her batons and Richard held a knife and Elian held onto her daggers.

"Have you ever heard of the Lazarus Pit?" Jade asked.

"What?" Sara scowled.

"It's a myth." Richard explained. "There's a well, that can heal people and prolong their lives, but at a terrible cost. There's a group of deadly assassins that possess one of these wells, calling themselves the League of Assassins and they're lead by Ra's al Ghul. The Demon's Head."

"I've heard of them." Sara nodded.

"The Lazarus Pit is a remnant of the Well of Sins." Jade explained. "The Untitled that Mr. Turner has unleashed are as old as humanity itself. For years, the Well was left untouched but the Essence that Mr. Turner stole, disturbed the balance, awakening them. The Well of Sins has sat untouched under the protection of All-Caste and they had a pact between the League of Assassins as well to ensure that the Untitled would not be unleashed. But by releasing the Essence, they've gone loose and now, they'll endanger everything you know. We have a mutual enemy, Sara."

"Why should I trust you?" Sara demanded.

"Because no ordinary human can stop them but you are more than ordinary, aren't you?" Jade challenged.


Present, Laurel's Apartment

"And there we go." Laurel flipped the pancake on the frypan as Henry laughed.

"You're getting a hang of this." Henry smiled.

"Is everything OK?" Laurel asked as she noticed the worried look on his face.

"Look, Laurel, it's… no but… it's a long story." Henry said simply. "I just want to be sure everyone's alright."

"What's going on?"

"Don't worry about it right now."


Starling City

The Arrow and Canary were beating up some gangsters on a rooftop before they saw an old black an orange eye mask on a steam pipe with an arrow sticking out of its left eye hole. "He's taunting us. Don't let him get into your head." Sara assured him.


Three years ago, Africa

"Where are the Untitled?" Elian asked as she, Sara and Richard followed Jade.

"They're gaining strength." Jade explained.

As they went into a small village, they saw burned corpses and ruined houses. "My God…" Sara whispered. Suddenly, some ghosts showed up as they tossed Sara, Elian and Richard into the air before Jack and Naomi entered, firing their guns but nothing happened before Elian used her daggers, causing for the ghosts to dissipate.

"Talia told me these are dangerous creatures." Elian said.

"You know Talia?" Sara asked, surprised.

"She helped store the Essence here to keep the Untitled in check." Elian said. "My mother and her vowed to protect the sanctuary and seal them away and we found All-Caste centuries ago."

"Centuries?" Sara looked confused. "But… you're—"

"Have you not been listening to the stories we've told you about the League of Assassins?" Elian asked as Sara reluctantly admitted that some things are beyond explanation.


Present, Starling City

The Arrow was frustrated as he pinned his back to the wall as the Canary neared him. "Ollie, you can't let Slade get into your head."

"I need this to stop." Oliver snapped. "And for it to stop, I need to find him."

"You're not eating, you're barely sleeping and when you do, you have nightmares." Sara pointed out before it hit her. "They're about her, aren't they? Hey, look at me." Oliver turned around instead. "You did what you had to, OK? Ivo was going to shoot Shado or me or both of us, it was an impossible choice." She told him.

"I made it, anyway." Oliver said.

"But if you had chosen differently, then it would be me haunting you at night." Sara argued.

"It still could be, Sara." Oliver said sadly. "That's why we have to stop."

"What are you saying?" Sara asked warily.

"He's going to use you to hurt me." Oliver said. "Or he's going to hurt you." He kissed her on the forehead. "Stay away from me." He was about to walk away as Sara held his hand.

"Ollie, don't brush me off. Please." She pleaded. "Don't push me away again. I love you."

Oliver looked at her sadly. "I love you too… which is why I have to let you go."

"Ollie, we can face this. Together." Sara insisted. "We're not the same people we were five years ago."

After a moment of stare, Oliver nodded as he hugged her. "Together."


Three years ago, Africa

"You cannot stop us." A reanimated corpse said as Sara and Richard faced it.

Sara rushed at it and fought it as the corpse kept fighting her before around her was a corpse of Ivo, Shado, Slade as she tensed.

"No, I'm not afraid of you anymore. I'm not!" Sara snapped as she attacked the corpses before a black cloud of smoke in form of a human appeared in front of her.

"You may have beaten me but the sanctuary has been condemned because of you." The apparition said before disappearing.

"We need to get back." Richard ordered as they were heading back but at the gateway, they were encountered by the mercenaries, who held at the gunpoint Nicole, Riley, Henry, Chloe and Naomi.


Present, the Lair

"Any luck with Slade?" Chloe asked.

"Nothing yet." Oliver said as Laurel went downstairs.

"No." Sara shook her head.

"Hey, guys. I thought we could all go out for a dinner tonight." Laurel offered.

"I'd love to but I need to go see an old friend." Oliver said cryptically as he walked away.


A.R.G.U.S. HQ

Amanda Waller was entering the office with gun drawn upon seeing incapacitated guards on the floor with tranq darts and smirked upon seeing the Arrow. "Hello, Oliver."

Oliver turned around, lowering his hood. "Hello, Amanda."

"Still mad at me?" Waller taunted.

"Lucky for you, you've been pushed down that list." Oliver growled.

"Really?" Waller smirked. "Who do you want to kill more than me?"

"Slade Wilson is alive." Oliver said, to Waller's shock.

"You killed him. It's not possible."

"Everything is possible, where Slade is concerned." Oliver said. "And I need your help to find him."

Waller paused, thinking. "I might have something."

"What?" Oliver inquired.

"There's a new player we've been tracking. A mercenary." Waller moved to the computer and showed up a file with a picture of a man in a body armor, head to toe. "He's left a trail of bodies from Macau to Istanbul to Lisbon. A trail that leads right here to Starling. We've been calling him 'Deathstroke'."
