"Now I see why you didn't want the boys to come." Thea said as she and Nyssa entered a dive bar.
"That is Tigressa." Nyssa said, pointing out a woman sitting alone at a table.
"Looks like the only thing she knows how to kill is vodka." Thea said.
"She has over 200 confirmed kills, one of them being her own brother because he matched her quote." Nyssa said as they approached her.
"Al ghul, I should take your hand for what you did to Al Sa-Her." Tigressa said as soon as she saw them.
"I never understood your affection for Merlyn, Tigressa, but I always respected it. - This is his." Nyssa said.
"Spawn," Tigressa interrupted, "You think I wouldn't recognize Malcolm's own blood? Your father had much faith in you." she added to Thea.
"Yeah. Well, with that new League he created running around, I can't say the same for him." Thea said.
"So you've met Athena. She's not the leader your father desired. You are." Tigressa said.
"Yeah. Well, I'm sure death has cured him of his disappointment. Look. The only reason why we're here is because Athena thinks I can open some map for her." Thea said.
"With good reason. Your father made sure you were the only one that could actually unlock its secrets." Tigressa said.
"Of course he did." The said.
"And that is why Athena needs you. Your father secreted the map here." Tigressa said as she handed her a map.
"And why didn't you just take it?" Thea asked.
"Heh. I rejected the path of the League of Assassins a long time ago." Tigressa said.
"One day, you're gonna have to tell me how you did that. Thank you for this." Thea said as she and Nyssa began to walk away.
"Well, when you find it, you may not be so grateful." Tigressa warned.
"I was being polite." Thea said as she and Nyssa walked away.
"We should contact your brother. There's safety in numbers." Nyssa said and Thea nodded in agreement.
"Sledgehammer, we're on site." Green Arrow said as he, Spartan, Speedy, Arsenal, Nyssa and Black Canary entered the warehouse the map had led them to.
"Copy that." Sledgehammer said.
"You sure we're alone?" Black Canary asked.
"The 6 of you are the only souls I'm picking up for miles." Sledgehammer said.
"Be cautious. Merlyn would have laid traps to protect this place." Nyssa warned.
"Yeah. What kind of traps are we talking here? We talking "Raiders" or "Temple of Doom" kind of traps?" Arsenal asked before turning to Speedy.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Yeah. I will be once this is all over with." Speedy answered.
"Yeah, me, too." Arsenal agreed as they triggered a trap.
"Get down! - A trap. Excellent." Nyssa said.
"Excellent? Ok, I know it's been a while for me, but last time I checked, triggering a trap was not only a great way to die, but also a good way of tipping off the enemy you're there." Black Canary said.
"We must be close." Nyssa explained.
"Thermal imaging is showing that what we're looking at is what we've got. No hallways, no doors." Spartan said.
"Malcolm had a secret chamber in his office. Maybe he has something here." Green Arrow said, remembering that battle well."
"Clever," Nyssa said as she fired an arrow at the ground and everyone was surprised what they found in the hole, "Iodine dixonium, a component magnetically attracted to the same type of steel my father used to encase relics." she explained as she pulled the rubble away to reveal some sort of box.
"That's not a map." Black Canary said.
"The map is inside. It's an ancient League cipher." Nyssa said.
"Does it need a code?" Arsenal asked.
"Try my birthday." Speedy suggested.
"There are 18 digits across 3 alphabets." Nyssa said.
"Ok. So it's not my birthday." Speedy said, right as Sledgehammer came back on the comms.
"Guys, about you being the only souls for two blocks, funny thing about those ninjas." Sledgehammer said as Athena dropped from the ceiling.
"I want Al Sa-Her's daughter and the map. I'm always merciful when I get what I want." Athena said.
"I know you better than that." Nyssa said as they all took fighting stances.
"Stand down. Not gonna ask twice." Green Arrow demanded.
"Come with us, and we will let your friends continue to draw breath. Stay where you are, and blood will be shed." Athea said.
"I'll go with shedding blood, except it will be yours." Nyssa said as she handed the box to Speedy.
"Get that someplace safe. Go." she said as Speedy nodded and ran.
"Hey. The exit is kind of blocked right now." Speedy said as more assassins appeared.
"We can help with that." Green Arrow said as he and the others engaged in battle.
"Black Canary, do it." Green Arrow said.
"Cover your ears." Black Canary said as she used her canary cry and send their enemies flying back.
"I have seriously missed this." she then said as she pulled out her tonfas and got to work.
A few minutes later, Arsenal came over the comms.
"I've got Thea and the map." he said.
"Let's move out." Green Arrow ordered as they took their leave.
