"Oliver?" Diggle asked.
"Are you OK, Ollie?" Sara held his hand as they looked at Roy's unconscious form.
"The cure's not working." Oliver sighed, frustrated.
"Wait, he still has the Tibetan pit viper venom in his system." Sin pointed out.
Then, they heard Chloe's tablet bleep. "What's that?" Oliver asked.
"We planted sensors in the tower just in case Slade's men are coming." Chloe looked at her tablet as they all saw the thermal image of men in the lower level of the clock tower.
"Oh, no." Jack paled.
"Right beneath us. There's too many of them." Sara panicked.
Roy gasped, getting up on his feet. "Where am I?"
The trap door burst open as one of Slade's men popped his head and on instinct Roy slugged him, then stepped back, shaking his hand in pain. The soldier hit Roy's legs, causing for him to fall down as Jack kicked the soldier in his face, causing for him to fall down the ladder. Jack shut the door but then, another soldier jumped through the hole Roy had made as he caught Chloe's leg as she yelped before she pulled out a gun and shot the soldier, causing for him to let her go.
"We gotta get out of here!" Chloe ordered.
Oliver fired an arrow, to which was attached a cable as everyone slid down to the ground before they saw an A.R.G.U.S. chopper fly around the clock tower, firing a missile and blowing it up.
"Damn." Sin grumbled. "I left my stash of beer in there."
Later, the Lair
Oliver, Sara, Sin, Roy, Jack, Chloe, Lyla and Diggle entered the lair as they saw the equipment trashed. "Damn it."
"What the hell happened?" Roy asked, shocked.
"Slade's army." Diggle explained before turning to Oliver. "You were right about this place being compromised."
Oliver turned to Lyla. "Lyla, your boss is going to bomb the city at dawn."
"Yeah, Waller's never seen a problem she didn't think couldn't be solved with a drone strike." Diggle deadpanned.
"Why do you think I'm here?" Lyla quipped.
"You knew Waller was going to level the city and you came here anyway?" Diggle asked, surprised.
"You're here." Lyla pointed out.
"You need to go back to A.R.G.U.S. You need to stop Waller or buy us enough time to stop Slade." Oliver pleaded.
"Not without me." Diggle volunteered. "Until death do us apart, right?" He smiled at her.
"This time it might." Lyla pointed out.
"I'm coming too." Jack stepped up. "I have some words I'd like to say to Waller, myself."
"Guys." Oliver turned to Sara, Sin, Chloe and Roy. "I need you to scrounge as many weapons as you can find, especially injection arrows. We're going to fill them with the cure…" He glanced at Roy. "Which clearly works and this ends tonight, without killing. There's been enough death already." Then, Oliver's phone rang. "Yeah, Henry?"
SCPD
"You guys OK?" Henry asked.
"Yeah, we're in the lair, trying to come up with a plan to stop Slade's men." Oliver said. "What about you?"
"I'm with my family and Laurel at the precinct. We're safe here, for now." Henry assured them.
"Good, stay put, until one of us comes for you and don't go anywhere." Oliver ordered.
"That won't be a problem." Henry said before he hung up.
"Are they gonna be OK?" Laurel asked.
"Let's hope." Henry shrugged before he, Laurel, Nicole and Riley were hit in their necks with darts before they saw Richard approaching a woman in black cape and a white-haired woman as everything went black. "Nyssa…" Henry murmured before he passed out.
Later, the Lair
"Well, it seems like I missed a lot." Roy quipped as he, Sin, Sara and Chloe were filling the injection arrows with the cure at the table.
"What do you remember?" Chloe asked.
"Leaving town and heading to Bludhaven." Roy looked at everyone. "Was I out cold the whole time?" No one answered as he insisted. "Sin. Guys."
"Yeah, you were out the whole time." Sin said quickly.
"Slade has at least fifty men or so of those human weapons." Diggle said. "We'll need a whole army if we plan on hitting them with the cure."
"I know." Everyone whirled around to see Nyssa al Ghul, Richard, six more members of the League of Assassins and Sara widened her eyes to see a young girl with long white hair.
"Elian?" Sara whispered.
"It's been a long time, Sara." Elian smiled as Sara approached her, hugging her tightly.
"I thought you were dead. The sanctuary—"
"It fell, yes. But I survived and rebuilt it." Elian nodded.
"What are you doing with them?" Sara demanded as she turned to the members of the League.
"We have come here to help." Richard offered.
"That's where you went?" Sara demanded. "To Nanda Parbat? The League of Assassins?"
"I had to." Richard said. "I had to also explain to seek out Elian and let her explain to Ra's what happened with the sanctuary after you abandoned the All-Caste."
"I know that my sister returned to the sanctuary to restore it." Nyssa nodded. "The Untitled were freed and Elian sent a messenger to seek sister's help."
"However, it wasn't enough." Elian murmured.
Sara sighed. "This is all my fault. If I hadn't helped the Longbow Hunters find you—"
"You have settled the blood debt by eliminating Mr. Cain for spoiling the Well." Nyssa assured her. "As far as you and Mr. Queen are concerned, all debts have been settled."
"But coming to the League of Assassins for help?" Oliver snarled. "These people are mercenaries, Richard. Whatever they promised you, it comes at a price!"
"I've already paid it." Richard said as it hit both Oliver and Sara.
"You agreed to go back." Sara realized.
"I'm not going to let Slade Wilson hurt you, or Henry, or Nicole or anyone else I care about. I'll do whatever it takes to protect them." Richard said.
Oliver took a breath. "I am willing to do whatever it takes but that doesn't mean that cold-blooded killing is the answer. We have the cure now."
"To fight the unthinkable, you have to be willing to do the unthinkable." Nyssa said.
"First we need to find Slade's base of operations." Richard pointed out.
"Slade Wilson and Isabel Rochev are using your former office building as their base of operations." Nyssa said.
Oliver approached a small box as he handed Roy a domino mask as Sara dragged Elian aside. "I thought you were dead. The sanctuary…"
"You may have seen it fall but everything can be rebuilt." Elian said. "Lady Talia helped us but it came at a price. No one was safe."
"I wish I had been there. I'm sorry I left you." Sara said.
"No. Not everyone is able to let go of the guilt and anger." Elian assured her. "What happened, wasn't your fault."
"We do this my way." They heard Oliver say as they turned to him and Nyssa.
"The League does not take prisoners." Nyssa pointed out.
"It does tonight." Oliver said firmly.
Queen Consolidated
The Canary went out from the elevator as she jammed a cure arrow in the leg of one of Slade's men, while Elian hit another one in his chest with another arrow.
In the conference room, the Arrow shot an injection arrow into another Mirakuru soldier as Chloe rushed in with tranquilizer gun, shooting down the rest of Slade's men. "Conference room's clear." The Arrow said as they went into an office, where was Deathstroke, Isabel and seven more of the soldiers.
"You must have quite a bit of faith in this cure if you've come alone." Deathstroke said smugly.
"We didn't come alone." The Arrow shot back.
Suddenly, the assassins burst in through the window with Nyssa in charge as they started to shoot the cure arrows at Slade's men as the Arrow fired at Deathstroke but none of his shots were able to penetrate his armor. Isabel pulled out her swords and engaged Elian, who blocked with her own sword and kicked her back as Deathstroke jumped through the window and ziplined down the line to the opposite roof.
Elian kicked Isabel back as Richard kicked her in the knee, causing for her to kneel down as she was about to execute her as she raised her hand with the sword.
"Elian, no!" The Canary yelled, causing for her friend to stop.
"Kill me. Don't kill me." Isabel gloated as she looked at the Arrow and Canary. "It doesn't matter. I beat you. I took away the one—"
Nyssa suddenly snapped Isabel's neck as the Arrow aimed at her, while the assassins were readying themselves to kill him. "Your reticence to do what is necessary is why your city burns." She sneered at Oliver.
The Arrow lowered his bow, frustrated as the Canary approached him. "This isn't working. I can't get close enough to Slade to hit him with the cure."
"So, what do we do?" The Canary asked.
SCPD
One of Slade's men neared Quentin, Henry and Laurel as he threw Quentin and Henry across the room as Nicole and Riley went to hide. "Slade Wilson wants to see you." The soldier said as he grabbed Laurel and dragged her out of the station.
Nicole covered her son's mouth as he was about to scream.
As Quentin and Henry came to, Nicole approached them. "Are you OK?"
"Been worse." Henry assured his sister as they saw Nyssa and Richard as Henry pulled out his gun as Riley hid behind his frightened mother. "You!"
"Stay away from my son." Nicole glared.
"No need for this." Richard assured them as Nicole hugged him tightly.
"Slade's men, they took Laurel." Henry said as the Arrow, Canary, Jack and Chloe approached him.
"We have another problem. I tapped into the satellite for thermographic imaging and all of Slade's men are at Giordano Tunnel." Chloe said as she showed him his tablet.
"I thought these guys were trying to destroy the city, not escape it." Quentin noted.
"A.R.G.U.S. is going to level the city to stop them from getting out." Oliver realized. "That's what Slade's planning on. He knows Waller's tactics."
"Fortunately, with Slade's men attempting to leave via the tunnel, all our targets will be grouped in a single place." Nyssa pointed out.
"We need to take it, gather your men." Oliver instructed.
"What about Laurel?" Quentin asked.
"Wilson took her for a reason." Oliver told him. "I know what it is but the city comes first."
"This is my daughter." Quentin begged before turning to Sara. "This is your sister! You can't just leave her like this! Look, I know you said you were trying another way and I respect that. But Slade Wilson? His men? They're monsters. And monsters, they need to be destroyed. You've killed before." He reminded. "Tonight, I suggest you get back in the habit."
Oliver sighed. "I can't do it."
"You have to." Henry insisted. "This is how it started and it's how it has to end."
"But… how? I mean, we can't cure him, we can't capture him, we can't even outthink him!" Sara snapped.
"Then don't." Elian suggested. "Make him out-think you." She then turned to Sara. "I know that look."
"I don't want to be that person anymore, Elian." Sara said, turning away from the daughter of her mentor. "I've had enough blood on my hands already."
"You said it yourself, Slade is a monster."
"If I kill him, what does that make me?" Sara asked. "I don't… I don't want to be that person anymore. I almost killed another friend."
"You keep blaming yourself for what happened." Elian realized. "With Shado and with the sanctuary."
"This has nothing to do with the sanctuary." Sara scoffed.
"I've seen that look in your eyes before, Sara." Elian pointed out. "You're haunted by your past, Lian Yu, Shanghai, the sanctuary… you don't know how to escape that ghost. You need to forgive yourself to let go."
"Forgive myself?" Sara scoffed. "For what?"
"You blame yourself for Shado's death and everything bad that has gone wrong since then. Every bad thing that you've done since then. You keep punishing yourself for what happened. You need to forgive yourself for your sins." Elian pointed out as Sara reluctantly turned to her.
"You make it sound so easy." Sara scoffed.
"It is the hardest thing in this world." Elian said with a pointed look.
Queen Manor
"Sara, what are we doing here?" Sin asked as her best friend dragged her into the house.
"You need to stay here and be safe." Sara pleaded as she handed Sin the comms. "He took Laurel because both Ollie and I care about her the most. But he wants to hurt us more by taking away another person we care about and to be it's you." She told Sin. "You're the most important thing to me, Sin. You're my best friend."
"Oh." Sin gapped.
"Do you understand?" Sara asked as Sin nodded slowly. They hugged each other tightly before Sara left the manor.
Later, Starling City
The Arrow, the Canary, Roy in red hoodie and a red domino mask, Elian, Henry, Chloe, Richard and seven members of the League of Assassins walked down the tunnel, facing Slade's army at the end.
"No kill shots, let the cure do it's work." The Arrow ordered as he and Roy readied their bows, while Slade's army rushed at them. "Ready? Ready? Ready? Fire!"
The Arrow, Roy, Nyssa and the assassins fired at Slade's men as Chloe and Henry fired their guns filled with darts full of Mirakuru cure as Richard and Elian engaged them in close combat, stabbing them with the injection arrows full of the cure. Roy and the Arrow dodged the punches, stabbing Slade's men with the arrows as Chloe and Henry were pinning their backs, shooting Slade's men down. One of the soldiers threw a punch at Roy but he dodged and stabbed him in the back with the injection arrow before firing another at the next soldier.
A.R.G.U.S.
Lyla, Jack and Diggle entered the cell block with Task Force X as a guard approached them. "Agent Michaels, this area's restricted to all unauthorized—"
Diggle grabbed the man in a chokehold, knocking him out before taking his keys as he, Jack and Lyla were unlocking the cells.
"What the hell's this? Early parole?" Lawton smirked.
"Waller's looking to bomb Starling City. We need your help to stop her." Diggle told him.
"As much as I'd love to show the Wall what we think of her, there's just that little matter of tick, tick, boom, OK? We've all got that miniature bomb in our spines." Lawton reminded.
"You have to trust me." Diggle said as he handed him his wrist gun. "And Lawton, no dropping bodies."
"Yeah, sure, take the fun out of it." Lawton grumbled.
Starling City
The Arrow and Roy kept on shooting down Slade's men, together with Henry and Chloe as the assassins, Richard, Sara and Elian managed to take the rest of them down.
A.R.G.U.S.
Waller was watching the screen with the drone as Jack, Diggle, Lyla and Lawton burst in, incapacitating the agents before Waller pulled out her guns.
"Down, now! Everybody get down!" Lawton ordered.
"Waller, call that drone off!" Diggle snarled.
"This is treason, Agent Michaels." Waller told Lyla, ignoring Diggle. "Treason that risks hundreds of thousands of lives. Have you thought about that? Have you thought about how you're going to explain that to your son?" She asked, stunning both Lyla and Diggle. "Or is it your daughter? Did doctors specify, or did you want to keep it a surprise?" She turned to Diggle. "Congratulations, Mr. Diggle, you're going to be a father."
Starling City
As they took down the last of Slade's forces, the Arrow tapped his comms. "Go."
"You've been busy, kid." Slade said.
"It's over, Slade! Your army is broken!" The Arrow yelled.
"And I pity them. But once again, you two have missed the point. I have the ones you two care about the most. You're both going to meet me where I say. Otherwise, I'm going to kill them both."
"No, we're done playing your games, Slade!" The Canary snarled.
"You're done, when I say you're done!" Slade roared. "You will meet me where I say, or I will kill both your best friends." He sneered as his men had both Laurel and Sin on their knees.
The Arrow and Canary snuck into old factory as they were lurking in the dark.
"Twitch and I will open your throat." Slade's voice echoed throughout the factory as the Arrow notched an arrow. "My first words to you, do you remember? I do. I remember the exact moment. My blade against your neck. Just like my blade is against the neck of those most dear to you. If only I'd killed you then, everything would be different."
They neared Slade as he had the sword against Sin's throat. "Drop your weapons." He ordered. "Do it."
They both reluctantly complied as they heard Laurel's screams as another one of Slade's lackeys dragged her to the scene. "Yes, countless nights dreaming of taking from you all that you took from me."
"By killing those we care about the most? The ones we love?" The Canary asked.
"Yes." Slade said.
"Like you love Shado." The Arrow murmured.
"Yes." Slade replied.
"You see her, don't you?" The Arrow realized. "Well, what does she look like in your madness, Slade?" Slade put Sin on her knees as the Canary glared at him. "What does she say to you? I remember her being beautiful. Young. Kind. She would be horrified by what you've done in her name."
"What have I done?" Slade growled, putting the sword away from Sin for a moment as she sobbed. "What I have done is what you lack the courage to do! To fight for her! So, when their bodies lie at your feet, their blood wet against your skin, then you will know how I feel!" He roared, glaring at both vigilantes.
"We already know how you feel." The Canary said.
"We know what it's like to hate, to want revenge." The Arrow continued. "And now we know how it feels to see our enemy so distracted… he doesn't see the real danger is right in front of him."
For a moment, Slade lowered his guard, looking confused as Sin got up on her feet and jammed the syringe with the cure in Slade's neck before running away as Slade knelt down. "Kill them!" He ordered to his soldier but then from behind Henry shot him with an injection dart as Laurel whirled around and slugged the soldier in his face.
"Get them out of here!" The Arrow ordered as Henry dragged Laurel and Sin away.
Oliver and Sara rushed at Slade, who was forced to use his sword to block the strikes of their bow and baton, respectively. They backed him up against the wall and the Arrow kicked him in the abdomen as Slade went flying through a glass door and onto the roof.
Slade landed on his back but quickly stood up as they jumped out at him. Slade sidestepped them before whirling around with his sword. Blade met bow and baton in a stalemate before Slade pushed them back and he struck Sara in the face with the hilt of his sword before punching Oliver in the chest.
"The Mirakuru isn't what made me hate you!" Slade roared as he swung his sword at Oliver, who dodged as Sara moved in, striking Slade across the face. Slade staggered back but quickly recovered, wielding his sword. Oliver attacked but Slade dodged before he grabbed Oliver by his throat as they saw above them fly the drone with the bombs. "The end is near. But maybe I'll be merciful enough to let you both live and see your city burn!" He roared as he lifted Oliver in the air.
Sara rushed at Slade from behind and tackled him, causing for him to let Oliver go. Oliver blocked Slade's sword with his bow as Sara struck Slade across the face with her baton.
As Slade stumbled back, Oliver hit him in the gut before he attacked with his bow but Slade blocked it with his sword. Both men then exchanged blows for a moment before Oliver blocked Slade's sword with his bow again and kicked him down on the ground as he, Sara and Slade were lying down in exhaustion and getting up.
"We all know that there's only one way that this can end." Slade snarled. "To beat me, one of you is gonna have to kill me. But in the moment of my death, you'll prove one thing. That both of you are murderers."
Slade got up on his feet and roared as he rushed at Oliver and Sara as they rushed at him and Sara kicked him in the chest, sending him off the roof onto the ground.
As Slade landed on his back, Oliver and Sara jumped after him. Slade stood up and the fight resumed. Oliver lunged for him but Slade sidestepped him. Sara lunged for him with her baton but Slade ducked before punching her and cutting her in the knee as she screamed and fell down.
As he was about to finish her off, Oliver kicked Slade back and threw a punch but Slade dodged and hit Oliver in the face, then he punched Oliver again before rushing at him with his sword, aiming at his heart but Oliver blocked the sword and knocked Slade against a concrete pillar before firing two bola arrows, restraining Slade as Oliver staggered, trying to help Sara on her feet as she limped.
"You two can kill me, or not." Slade said tiredly. "Either way, I win."
A.R.G.U.S.
Waller was in stalemate with Lyla, Diggle, Lawton and Jack before Oliver called out. "Amanda, it's over. Slade's down, his army's been taken out. Call back the drone." When Waller didn't respond, Oliver snapped. "Amanda, it's over!"
"Do it, or I'll put you down." Jack sneered.
Waller slowly lowered her gun before typing in the order to abort the drone strike.
Starling City
"So, what now, kid?" Slade asked, defeated.
"You called us both murderers but that's who we were before." Sara hissed, nearing Slade, glaring as she limped. "But that's not who we are anymore. You can blame us for Shado's death for the rest of your life. But I am done blaming myself."
Oliver looked at Sara, surprised, considering her attitude.
Starling Docks
Richard was nearing Henry, Nicole and Riley as they hugged each other. "Do you really have to go?" Riley asked.
"I need to." Richard said. "It's the only way I can protect you."
"We can figure this out." Riley pleaded. "Can we?" He turned to his mother and Uncle.
"Daddy needs to do what he does best." Nicole assured her son before kissing Richard. "No matter where we are…"
"…we're always there for each other." Richard finished. Then, he offered his hand to Henry. "Goodbye, Henry."
"See you around, Richard." Henry smiled.
"Are you ever coming back?" Riley asked.
"I will." Richard said. "You're my family." He went on the boat with Nyssa. "I will accept whatever punishment will be needed for what happened with the sanctuary and with your sister. But leave Oliver and Sara out of this."
"About that…" Nyssa turned to him. "Your friend Elian showed us my sister's grave at the sanctuary but it was empty."
"What does that mean? Elian said she watched her die. She wouldn't lie to me or Sara." Richard pleaded.
"Then, perhaps, someone… or something brought her back among the living." Nyssa said.
"The Untitled?" Richard asked.
"Unlikely." Nyssa said.
"Then, where is she?" Richard asked.
"I wish I knew." Nyssa murmured.
Roy's House
Roy entered the house to find a letter on the bed as he read it with tears forming in his eyes.
"Roy… I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I thought I could still be with you. I thought I could still be Thea Queen. But Thea Queen was trusting. And I don't trust you. Or anyone. Not anymore. Thea Queen was also weak. And no matter what it takes, I will be strong. Don't try to find me. You won't. Even I don't know where I'm going. I only know one thing - I am never coming back."
United States Department of Defense Court
Amanda Waller was at the tribunal, standing in front of the jury. "Amanda Waller, a director of an agency should have a regard for human life, yet you were willing to sacrifice hundreds, thousands of innocent lives to eliminate fifty human weapons that may well have already left the city and we have also proof that you have run at least dozens of black ops and war crime operations without the Intelligence Committee's approval."
"Everything I've done, I did to protect us." Waller said coldly.
"That may be so but you have used criminals, terrorists and mercenaries to accomplish these goals and disregarded innocent lives countless of times." The juror said.
Starling General
"How's Dad doing?" Sara asked as Quentin was in the ER after he collapsed from the injuries he had endured during the siege.
"He's in a coma. It's his heart, it's bad." Laurel said as Sara wiped her eyes, holding her bandaged leg.
Then, a doctor approached Sara. "Miss Lance, I'm afraid the injury you sustained tore your tendon. And it's going to take weeks, maybe even months to fully recover."
"What does that mean?" Laurel asked.
"Your sister will have to go through physical therapy. But either way, I'm afraid, the injury will not allow her to walk the way she used to." The doctor explained as both Laurel and Sara looked down in defeat.
"It's not like I haven't gone through it before." Sara smiled optimistically as Laurel chuckled. The doctor left both Lance sisters alone as Laurel sighed.
"I guess the Arrow will have to go on with the Canary." Laurel muttered.
"Not necessarily." Sara said, turning to Laurel, smiling. "You did good out there. And I think you have purer heart than I do. This city will always need the Arrow and the Canary. But I can't do it anymore."
"You're saying I should take up your mantle?" Laurel asked, surprised.
"I've heard you've been training with Henry at Wildcat Gym. Maybe Ollie can train you." Sara offered. "I'll convince him to teach you what we do."
Laurel smiled. "Looks like the Arrow and Canary are not done yet."
"Actually…" Sara smiled. "I'd appreciate if you came up with your own name."
"Like what?" Laurel asked before Sara turned to her black leather jacket, an idea forming in her mind.
Tech Village, elsewhere in Starling City
Felicity Smoak was at the counter, giving a customer his money before she saw a tall handsome man approaching her with a product. "Thank you for waiting."
"No problem, I just want to buy this."
"This is a satellite frequency communicator TX-40." Felicity said.
"Yeah, I'm trying to breach to a Tor-secured firewall and I need some help to piggyback off a keyhole hexagon satellite, so…" The man trailed off.
"I did that once." Felicity said as the man smiled.
"You're Felicity Smoak. You used to work at Queen Consolidated, didn't you?" The man said.
"Yeah before the new boss kicked me out and then, she was accused of terrorism but I have no intention of going back there, since, first it was Moira Queen, now Isabel, then…" She shuddered.
"What if you could help me change Queen Consolidated for the better?" The man asked.
Felicity looked at him in consideration. "Who are you?"
"Ray Palmer." He offered his hand.
Lian Yu
Slade woke up on a bed, noticing he was in a cell, in a prisoner uniform as across him was sitting Oliver as they were separated with the bars in between them. "Where am I?" Slade gasped.
"As far away from the world as I could get you." Oliver said. "Where you can't hurt anyone ever again."
"That's your weakness, kid." Slade murmured as he got up on his feet. "You don't have the guts to kill me."
"No, I have the strength to let you live." Oliver argued.
"Oh, you're a killer." Slade said as he paced down his cell. "I know, I created you. You've killed plenty."
"Yes, I have." Oliver agreed. "You helped turn me into a killer, when I needed to be one. And I'm alive today because of you. I made it home because of you. And I got to see my family again. But over the past year, I've needed to be more… and I faltered. But, then I stopped you. Without killing." Oliver neared the bars. "You helped me become a hero, Slade. Thank you."
"You think I won't get out of here?" Slade snarled as Oliver was approaching the door. "You think I won't kill those you care for?"
"No, I don't." Oliver turned to Slade one last time. "Because you're in purgatory." He closed the door as Slade kept on ranting.
"I keep my promises, kid! I keep my promises!" Slade yelled as Oliver was climbing up and closed the hatch of the bunker as he was on the beach of Lian Yu with Diggle, Henry, Jack, Chloe and Sara with a cane.
"Do you think it holds him?" Henry asked.
"Him and anyone else we send here." Oliver said as Sara leaned onto him. "Lyla will take care of that after replacing Waller."
"I'm gonna miss jumping off the rooftops, you know?" Sara said sadly.
"The physiotherapy starts next week, Sara." Chloe promised her.
"I hope Laurel's gonna do fine." Henry pointed out.
"I'll look after her." Oliver promised. "And after Roy."
"Where's Elian anyway?" Chloe asked.
"I don't know." Sara said. "I'm not sure I want to know."
"I thought you were friends." Oliver said, confused.
Sara sighed. "Let's just say we didn't part on the best of terms the last time I saw her."
Nanda Parbat
Elian and Richard knelt in front of Ra's as Nyssa knelt next to them. "I've heard of what you did with the Well of Sins. Another Lazarus pit that I could have used—"
"It was too dangerous to use." Elian knelt. "The Untitled were corrupted by its power. And Talia helped us defend the sanctuary."
"My scouts sought to retrieve the body from the grave, according to your information but it was empty." Ra's explained.
"That's not possible. The Well was destroyed." Elian protested. "I saw it happen."
"Yet, if there is no body…" Ra's paused.
Elsewhere in Africa
In the mountains, a small group of nomads were making a camp and roasting their food before from the shadows, a naked young woman approached them slowly, covered in blood and dirt as one of them got up. "My God, what happened to you?"
"I… I don't know. I remember… blackness and…"
"What's your name?" Another man asked as he took off his coat and put in on the woman's shoulders but to his surprise, she lunged at him and snapped his neck before grabbing a knife and killing the next one, staring in shock at what she had just done.
"I… I don't remember."
So, what do you guys think about it?
Before you ask, yes I do plan a sequel and yes, Sara stops being the Canary and Laurel will replace her as B.C. in the sequel. It might take a while before I get to it because I'm trying to plan out Sara's storyline in her final year and the things regarding Talia and I have some things from college I need to do. And unfortunately, to my dismay, Felicity will be involved in the sequel, since she helped Ray build his ATOM suit but I'll try not to turn the sequel into Felicity's arena of ranting and protesting and bitching around.
Originally, I planned to kill Slade off but considering he showed himself to be redeemable in the show, I followed the canon.
Please review and let me know if you have enjoyed this story until it's end.
