So finally, the sequel to 'The Devil of Star City.' This is going to be a bit of a slow burn in the first few chapters but it will get better later.

Now I have turned this into a series which I call- 'The Devil and The Archer.'

You will get spoilers for 'Daredevil Season 3' after Chapter 3.

Chapter 1- Old threat and new threat

Star City, Earth-1

It was silent at the docks. Though the silence was not going to last much longer due to what was about to happen there.

Some men were standing guard, holding guns in their hands. They were there on a job. And they were going to leave only when the job was finished. Or thwarted.

Suddenly, an arrow burst out from the water and hit one of them, sending him down. The others ran up to the edge and fired into the water.

But one by one, they were all hit by arrows and were out. A line shot out of the water and a figure leapt out, gripping it with his left hand. He landed on the ground in a crouching position. The Green Arrow had arrived.

A man aimed at him but he fired first, putting him down. He then quickly fired at a man who was trying to shoot him from above, taking him down too. Another man, who was standing right in front of him, aimed but he took him down too with an arrow.

"I'm on site", he said to his team via earpiece, "No sign of Faust."

On another corner of the docks, an armed thug was gunned down by a man wearing a helmet. He was none other than Spartan.

"He's not at his last known either", Spartan said to Green Arrow via earpiece.

"Well, his ordnance is", Green Arrow said, making Spartan comment, "If Faust is moving from bombs to missiles, it makes you wonder what else he's changed up."

"Exactly. Stay sharp", Green Arrow said as he moved further in.

As Spartan prepared to move, a thug aimed at him from behind. But before he could fire, someone fired at him and he was thrown away by a few feet before falling down unconscious.

"Boss says stay sharp, Hoss", said a man wearing a black suit with a red chest-plate on it along with some yellow flares. His face was covered by a metallic hockey mask. He reloaded his shotgun. He was Wild Dog, with an upgraded suit.

Another man aimed at Wild Dog but he was taken down by a red arrow. It was Arsenal.

"I guess you should be a little sharper", Arsenal said to Wild Dog with a smirk as he flexed his metal arm.

Green Arrow ducked to avoid a man's punch and smacked his legs with his bow, making him fall. He then smacked his face with it, knocking him out.

He then turned around and fired at another man, putting him down. That moment, he heard a loud sound of fuel being ignited in a missile. He turned around and looked at the ballistic missile being fired.

The leader of the terrorists- Alex Faust, looked down on him with a smirk and said, "That's an MGM-140. It's fire and forget. You can't stop it. You can't disarm it."

At that moment, another man tried to sneak up on Green Arrow but before he could do a thing, he was hit by sonic waves and thrown into the water.

Green Arrow turned around to look at the one who had helped him- Black Siren. She was wearing the same suit she had worn when she had first arrived on this Earth, with the addition of a domino mask that resembled the one worn by her deceased doppelganger.

Green Arrow nodded at her in thanks and she nodded back. He then turned around and fired two arrows. They hit Faust's arms and pinned him to the pillar.

"I can't do anything about it", Green Arrow said to Faust, "But I have a very smart friend who can."

On a rooftop, Mister Terrific looked at the missile and threw his T-Sphere at it. The sphere followed the missile.

"My T-Sphere's spoofed the missile's guided system", Mister Terrific said to the others via earpiece, "I'm drawing it back to the water."

A moment later, the missile returned to where it was fired from and exploded above the water as Green Arrow, Black Siren and Faust watched.

Green Arrow stared at it even after the sparks had died down.

"You look unpleasant", Faust taunted him, "As if the detonation stirred unpleasant memories."

Many months ago

Oliver and Matt stood on a boat. Oliver was hugging his son tightly, having saved him from the madman who was sitting in front of them- Adrian Chase.

"You won", Chase said with a smirk, "Your son has his father back, and he learned exactly who his father was just like you learned who your father was right here on these very same waters."

"What?" asked Oliver.

"William's younger than you were so he's gonna be fine", said Adrian as he looked at them, "And you have each other."

"What are you saying?" asked Matt.

"Which is good, Oliver", said Adrian, "It's good."

Adrian then took out a gun and said, "Because it's gonna be lonely-"

Matt quickly pulled out his club and threw it at Adrian's hand, disarming him of his gun. Before Adrian could react, Matt kicked the gun away into the water.

Adrian looked at Matt hatefully and said, "Amazing. A 4-year old plan undone because a blind vigilante from another Earth happened to be thrown over here and now here you are, victorious."

Before Adrian could say another word, Oliver walked over to him and with a hard punch that broke his nose, knocked him out.

Now

Green Arrow sighed in relief, reminding himself that the explosion hadn't happened, though he was haunted by nightmares about that possibility every single night.

"It didn't stir unpleasant memories", Green Arrow said to Faust, "Just made me relieved that something terrible did not come to pass."

He then knocked Faust out with a punch.

Later, Oliver stood in the lair, looking over at the suits, while he himself was wearing a formal suit.

Rene walked over to him and gave him a file. Oliver took it and asked, "What's this?"

"Remarks for the Police Academy Graduation Ceremony", Rene said before commenting, "Seems my promotion came with speech-writing duties."

Some months ago, Thea had left the job at the council to help Roy take care of his daughter- Liam, whom she loved like her own. Roy himself had left his job under Oliver and didn't go out much in the field.

"You can write?" Curtis asked.

"You can read?" Laurel asked with a smirk.

"I can kick both of y'all asses is what I can do", Rene said to them.

"Oooh!" Laurel smirked, "Let's see how much you can kick."

"No need for much of a fight", John said to them, though he knew it was just some playful banter.

"This is uh- this is really good, Rene", Oliver said as he looked over at the file.

"It's like I keep telling you, Hoss", Rene said to him, "I've got the soul of a poet."

"And Matt can see with his eyes", Roy said with a smirk.

"When did he start seeing?" Felicity asked as she walked in, carrying bags of Big Belly Burgers.

"You totally missed me redirecting a ballistic missile". Curtis said to her.

"Well, I've already seen you do that once", Felicity said as she handed everyone their Big Belly Burgers before picking up the one she planned to eat herself.

"Sorry I've been MIA", she said to Oliver, "I pretty much had to knock my mother out to get her on a plane back to Vegas. She did not want to go."

"That's fine", Oliver said, "We had it handled."

"Yeah", Rene agreed, "Even without Dinah on the field."

"Come a long way in a year", John said.

"It almost makes me grateful for all the times Matt and Oliver kicked our asses", Curtis said, "Almost."

"I'm gonna go home", said Roy, "Thea and Liam are waiting."

"I'm gonna go too", Rene said, "Zoey is waiting."

John, Curtis and Felicity followed the two out, holding their bags of Big Belly Burgers.

"So", Oliver said to Laurel, "You were good out there."

"Well", said Laurel, "I am that way only because you allowed me to turn over a new leaf."

"And I hope I made the right choice", Oliver said.

"I will do everything to prove to you that you did", Laurel said to him sincerely.

"You don't need to", Oliver said, "You have done enough in the last few months."

Oliver gave her a smile to assure her he meant what he said.

Laurel nodded with a smile of her own.

"Well", Oliver said as he gestured to his bag of Big Belly Burger, "I'm gonna go share this with Samantha and William."

He then walked out while she decided to go too, to eat the snack with Quentin, with whom she had a decent relationship by now.

"That food is junk", Samantha said as she looked at the bag Oliver was holding.

"That's why kids like it, Samantha", Oliver quipped before asking, "How's he doing?"

"He's fine", Samantha said, "New school's a bit hard but he's fine."

"Good to know", Oliver said. As he walked in, William ran up to him and hugged him. With a smile, he said, "Hi, dad."

"Hey buddy", Oliver said with an affectionate smile, "Want some Big Belly Burger?"

William's eyes lit up at the name of his favorite snack, "Of course."

Later, the three ate and Oliver asked William, "How's school?"

"It's fine, dad", William said.

"Making friends?" Oliver asked.

"Trying to", William replied.

"Just make sure none of them are like your dad", Samantha said with a chuckle.

"Dad, can you teach me archery?" William asked.

"No!" Oliver and Samantha said simultaneously.

"I guess that means no archery", William muttered as he took another bite.

"This weekend, let's go see a rocket game", Oliver said, "You know, as Mayor, I get pretty good seats."

"I would love that, dad", William said with a smile.

Later, Oliver reached home and walked inside. He sensed someone in the living room and was immediately on guard.

But then the intruder turned on the light, revealing himself to be a tall man with an eyepatch.

"Hey, kid", he said to Oliver, his hands inside the pockets of his coat.

"Hello, Slade", Oliver said to him as he relaxed, "What are you doing here?"

"I popped by to say that the Intel you gave me on my son, Joe, it panned out", Slade told him, "So I'm heading to Calgary."

"Well, that's great", Oliver said sincerely with a smile, "I'm very, uh- I'm happy for you, and I hope you find what you're looking for."

"I hope that too", said Slade, "How are things between you and your son?"

"Good", Oliver said.

"I just want to tell you kid", Slade said, "Be patient but prepared."

"For what?" Oliver asked.

"Choosing between the man that the people need you to be or the father that your son needs to be", Slade advised him.

"What do you mean by that?" Oliver asked.

"You and I walk between two worlds", Slade said, "But as your sister has proven, we can only do that for so long."

The two shook hands and Slade said, sincerely "Good luck, Mr. Queen."

"Good luck, Slade", Oliver said sincerely. He then watched as Slade walked out of the house.

At that moment, his cell phone vibrated. He picked it up and Felicity said from the other end, "Turn on Channel 52 right now."

"Okay", Oliver said and turned the channel on. The headline made his head spin in shock and horror.

"Green Arrow Identified."

The reporter said, "With the discovery of a shocking photograph which finally seems to solve the mystery haunting Star City for the past 2 years- who is the Green Arrow? This photo, which was obtained exclusively by Channel 52 provides unequivocal proof of the identity of the Green Arrow."

And then a photo of Green Arrow appeared on the screen, without the mask or hood on him. The face was crystal clear- Oliver Queen.

"Oliver", Felicity said from the other end in a shaky voice, "What are we gonna do?"

"I- I don't know."

Hell's Kitchen, Earth-199999

A man was jumping around Hell's Kitchen, wearing a red suit that had protrusions on the top, resembling the Devil's horns. He was Daredevil, or as he was sometimes called- The Devil of Hell's Kitchen.

His sightless eyes caught nothing, so he did not see the mugging in progress short yards below, rather he heard it with his enhanced senses.

"Look, I don't got no cash in the store", the shopkeeper said as a young man held him by the collar inside his shop, "I'm closing up, sent a boy down to the bank."

"Pops, you're not playing nice with Willie boy", the young man said before angrily slamming the shopkeeper against the wall, making him fall down, "And Willie boy is no man's fool. The bank closes early on Tuesdays, buster, and besides, you don't have a boy working here."

As his two friends stood guard, Willie walked up to the shopkeeper and said, "We know all about you, pops, how you got yourself a gun behind that cash register of yours, and how you shot yourself a thief with your fancy little colt, and how the punk died, spitting up his guts in a cop ambulance. Know something else, pops?"

Willie then stood over him and yelled, "THE PUNK WAS MY BROTHER!"

"And you're going to avenge him, Willie?" asked a voice behind him as he heard two crashes.

He turned around to see both his friends had been kicked away to opposite corners and were lying there, unconscious. In their place, stood a figure clad in red.

"Daredevil!" he said in fear as he took out his gun. He then angrily fired at him but he flipped to avoid the shots. Willie tried to justify himself, "My brother was a good kid, never tried anything on anyone, he made one little mistake- just one- and it cost him all!"

"It only takes one mistake", Daredevil said as he smacked Willie's hand, disarming him of the gun, "And maybe that mistake was yours, maybe you should have been teaching him to cope, instead of showing him how to lose!"

He then leapt in the air and gave Willie a flip kick, throwing him into a corner and knocking him out.

Turning to the shopkeeper he growled, "In a way, you're as bad as Willie. And next time, you may not be so lucky."

The shopkeeper gulped nervously as Daredevil disappeared into the night.

Later, Matt Murdock entered his apartment and sat on his couch peacefully. He felt better now than he ever had in the last three years. His life was good now. He was Daredevil. He had his friends, and he had his job. Elektra also visited him once a month and she would make it permanent once the remnants of the Hand were dealt with.

Matt also missed the friends he had made on another Earth- especially Oliver Queen. That man was just like him. Maybe he would pay them a visit someday.

Lian Yu, Earth-1

Adrian Chase was pacing around in his cell. All this time, he kept thinking about the time his plan had almost succeeded. Almost.

He fumed in anger at the man who had caused it to fail- Matt Murdock. His only goal now was to get out and make his life a living hell now.

He then heard some gunshots and screams of pain. The door to his cell opened and a man walked in. He sported dragon tattoos on both sides of his neck.

"Mr. Diaz", Chase said to him with a smirk.

"Mr. Chase", Ricardo Diaz said to him with a matching smirk, "I got your message. And your money."

"I guess you liked my offer", Adrian said.

"I did", Ricardo told him, "I have already done the first thing you asked me to do and now, I'm getting you out of here."

And then Ricardo and his men lead Adrian to a chopper which was piloted by one of Ricardo's men.

"So what's the rest of the plan?" Ricardo asked once they were in the air.

With a deeply disturbing smirk, Chase said, "The plan is… very interesting."

So the first chapter is done. Like I said, a bit of a slow burn. But I hope it was good.

Earth-2 Laurel has the same cover story she had in 6x15 so everyone knows about her.

By the way, I wrote an anti-WestAllen one-shot called 'Are you serious?' which is set in this universe. If you hate WestAllen and Iris in the show, feel free to check it out.
