As Oliver flew the plane Argus had provided, Nyssa joined him and Laurel up front.
"I still don't know why you insisted on coming with us when you can barely walk." Laurel asked her.
"I have an old grudge to settle with my sister and I intend to finally do so." Nyssa said.
"No one kills Talia but me." Oliver said.
"Oliver, how exactly do you plan on accomplishing this, I mean the 3 of us aren't exactly a match against Talia al Ghul, whatever league army she's commanding, a mind controlled Tommy Merlyn and an evil meta version of me." Laurel said.
"Like I said, tactical advantage isn't the only reason Lian Yu is the worst possible location Talia could've chosen to bring this battle, since we can also find allies that Talia may have overlooked." Oliver said.
"I still can't believe you're considering going to him for help after all he's done." Laurel said.
"He wasn't always an enemy Laurel." Oliver reminded her.
"Doesn't mean we should consider him an ally. For we know, Talia's already recruited him to her ranks to." Laurel said as the island came into view.
"It's a bit ironic. The last time I was here was 8 years ago. When I found Sara." Nyssa said.
"Always wondered how she found her way to the league." Oliver said as they prepared to land.
After the plane landed, Oliver and Laurel changed into their suits before Oliver headed to a place he had not been to in 2 years. The Argus prison.
"Hey kid. I knew you'd come back sooner or later." Slade said as Oliver approached his cell.
"I need your help." Oliver said.
"What brought you back to the island?" Slade asked as Oliver unlocked his cell and let him.
"I'd like to talk to about you for a moment. You seem different than the last time I saw you. You seem." Oliver said, remembering that little mission.
"What, in possession of all my marbles?" Slade asked and Oliver nodded.
"The mirakuru wore off a while ago. I mean, I can still remember everything that I've done, but it all feels like some sort of bad dream. But regardless of my sanity, what would make you want to help me after everything I've done? After all, I killed your mother." Slade reminded him.
"Yeah, well maybe I'm willing to give you another chance to redeem yourself, so I can see if the Slade Wilson I once knew is still in there." Oliver said.
"What has made you so desperate that you'd turn to me of all people for help after everything I've done?" Slade asked curiously.
"There's a woman here on the island named Talia al Ghul who blames me for the death of her father. She's already turned one of my closest friends against me and she's kidnapped nearly everyone else I hold dearly. Including Thea and my son." Oliver said.
"Since when do you have a son?" Slade asked.
"Slade, are you going to help me or not?" Oliver asked, tired of the games.
"Not to restate the obvious, but like I said before, I killed your mother and for that, you should've killed me." Slade said.
"Maybe what's happening now is the reason I didn't." Oliver said as he held out drive to Slade.
"What is this?" Slade asked as he took it.
"It's all the intel I've been able to gather on your son, Joe. Including his present whereabouts." Oliver said, much to Slade's surprise.
"Are you offering to help me find my son?" Slade asked.
"I want us to find both of our sons." Oliver said as he pulled something out of the bag he'd brought with him and presented it to Slade to reveal that it was his Deathstroke mask.
"You and me, kid, like old times." Slade said as he took the mask.
"You betray me again and I'll put an arrow through your other eye." Oliver promised, only to have Slade grin at him.
"Where do we begin?" he asked and Oliver actually smiled at his former friend before going to retrieve Digger Harkness.
As Laurel and Nyssa continued offloading supplies, Laurel was concerned for Nyssa's wellbeing.
"Laurel, I assure you, I'm fine." Nyssa assured her.
"That would be more convincing if you could take a step without wincing in pain." Laurel pointed out as Oliver approached them with Digger Harkness and Deathstroke with him.
"Have you finished unloading the supplies?" Oliver asked.
"Most, guns and ammo are still on the ship, but why exactly did you bring an RPG?" Laurel asked.
"You said it yourself, Talia's forces are much larger than our own and I have no intentions of this being a fair fight." Oliver said.
"Is that why you released the animals from their cages?" Nyssa asked.
"Oh, come on, luv. That is no way to start a new friendship." Harkness said.
"Look at me like that again and I will feed you your own eyes." Nyssa threatened.
"You're not her type anyway." Laurel said.
"Alright that's enough, let's offload the rest of the gear." Oliver said as a rocket came soaring through the sky and destroyed the plane they came on.
"There goes our ride home kid." Slade said.
"Let's get moving." Oliver said.
