"Hey, you okay?" Barry asked Laurel when he got back.
"Yeah, I just had a conversation with Black Siren and unintentionally got some relationship advice." Laurel said.
"Really. A crazed killer version of you gave good dating advice? Now I've heard everything." Barry said.
"Look, I was curious about how exactly my doppelganger turned into such a bitch and it turns out, it was because she was lost the man she loved." Laurel said.
"That's deep, but how does that give you relationship advice?" Barry asked.
"Because Black Siren and I don't just have the same powers, we have the same taste in men. She was in love with the Oliver Queen of her earth until he died." Laurel said.
"And she told you not to let your Oliver go." Barry said.
Laurel nodded and said "And no matter how many times I try and convince myself otherwise, I realize that she's right about this. I am still hopelessly in love with Oliver Queen."
"Than maybe you should tell him that. After all, if memory serves, things aren't exactly going great between him and Felicity. And besides, given the state of the city, you don't know if you'll get another chance." Barry said.
Laurel nodded and said "Good idea, but Barry, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what is it?" Barry asked.
"Can you go and check on Oliver's son and his mother. Make sure they're okay." Laurel said.
"I got them out of the city as soon as the metapocalypse started." Barry assured her.
"Great, now I have some good news to tell Oliver." Laurel said.
"You better call him now before the next wave starts, because I get the feeling we'll have a long night again." Barry said.
Laurel nodded as she pulled out her phone and dialed Oliver's number.
"Hello." Oliver's voice said on the other side of the line.
"Hey Ollie." Laurel said as she leaned against a wall.
"Laurel, didn't expect to hear from you. I hear that things in Central City have kind of gone to hell right now." Oliver said.
"Yeah, that's why I'm calling, I just needed to hear your voice." Laurel said.
Back in Star City
Oliver put a towel around his neck as he took a deep breath.
"That doesn't sound good. How bad are things over there?" Oliver asked.
"There's no way things will end well. Barry and I are barely holding down the city as it is." Laurel said.
"Huh, so you found new inspiration for being the Black Canary?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, and it came from me being turned into a metahuman." Laurel said.
"You're a metahuman, how did that happen?" Oliver asked as he sat down.
"It's a long story, but the reason I'm calling is just in case I don't make it, I wanted to make sure I said some things I needed to say." Laurel said.
"Laurel, don't talk like that." Oliver said as Thea, Dig and Felicity entered the bunker.
"I'm being realistic. Things get worse here everyday. Earlier tonight I actually met my earth 2 counterpart and trust me, if you thought I was a bitch when I was in a bad mood, it's nothing compared to her, since she's evil." Laurel said.
"Something tells me that's what's behind this call." Oliver said.
"Yeah, it is. I had a chat with her about what turned her into a bitch and it turns that she has the same weakness as I do. A man named Oliver Queen. The only difference is that her Oliver is dead. But that's why I'm calling. I feel like just in case I die defending this city, I needed to put all the cards on the table." Laurel said.
"Sounds like there's a confession coming. What is it?" Oliver asked.
"There is, but before I tell you, I feel like I should also tell you that Samantha and William are safe. Barry got them out of Central City before this mess began." Laurel said.
Oliver sighed in relief and said "Thank god, thank him for me will you."
"Sure, but, the real reason I'm calling you is to tell you that I was wrong about something." Laurel said.
"And that is?" Oliver asked.
"That we can't be together due to Tommy. Ollie, I don't know if I'll survive this, but if I do, I'm coming home and I want to give us another chance if you do. I'm still in love with you Oliver Queen and I always will be." Laurel said.
Before Oliver could respond, Laurel heard the alarms sound and the connection started to cut out.
"They're taking out the cell tower. I gotta go. Stay safe Ollie." Laurel said as the call ended.
"Laurel, Laurel wait." Oliver said as the line went dead.
"Oliver, what's up?" Dig asked.
"Things in Central City are worse than we thought. Things are getting out of hand, even with both the Flash and a metahuman Black Canary." Oliver said.
"Wait, Laurel's a metahuman now." Thea asked.
"Yeah, but she wouldn't really give me the details on how that happened." Oliver said.
"How are Samantha and William?" Dig asked.
"Laurel said that Barry got them out of the city before things got too bad out there." Oliver said.
"Well that's a relief." Felicity said and Oliver glared at her.
"I'm going to help them." Oliver said.
"Oliver, we need you here to deal with Darhk. Besides, no one gets in or out of Central City these days, the army has it courted off until things are resolved there." Thea said.
Oliver pounded his fist against the table.
"Ollie, you of all people should know how tough Laurel is. I mean, she's dated you and that has got to be the toughest thing she's ever done." Thea said, gently placing her hand on her brother's shoulder.
"I know, it's just, before the line went dead, Laurel confessed something to me that threw me off guard." Oliver said.
"What did she tell you?" Felicity asked.
"She told me she was still in love with me." Oliver said.
"That's deep. No wonder you want to go and help her." John said.
"Yeah, but, like you said, I can't go to Central City when I'm still needed here." Oliver said.
