Oliver was currently practicing his sword technique in the bunker when he heard Thea enter.
"Now this is a strange sight. I thought you preferred a bow and arrow?" Thea asked.
"And normally I do, but right now, my biggest problem is that Slade Wilson is once again roaming free and Slade fights with swords. If I'm finally going to end him, I have to be able to beat him at his own game." Oliver said.
"What are you talking about? I've seen you use a sword. You killed Ra's Al Ghul with a sword and you cut off Merlyn's hand. I'd say you're more than proficient with a blade." Thea said.
"Proficient isn't enough to beat Slade. Merlyn, yes, Evelyn, definitely, Vigilante, maybe, but not Slade. I have to be as good as him if I'm going to beat him." Oliver said as he continued training.
"You want a partner. Someone who'll actually hit back?" Thea asked.
"I thought you wanted nothing to with this anymore." Oliver said.
"It's just training. It's not like I'm going to be suiting up again. Especially since you gave Roy my suit." Thea said.
"Well technically it was his suit first." Oliver said.
"Whatever, just toss me sword." Thea said, referring to the wooden practice swords in they kept in the bunker as she removed her jacket.
Oliver tossed her a sword and they went at it.
"I see you're technique is rusty." Oliver said.
"Well in my defense I haven't done anything like this since last Christmas." Thea said as they dueled.
"Maybe you should do this more often. Not be a vigilante, but at least train down here, keep your mind focused." Oliver suggested.
"Maybe." Thea agreed, right as the computers beeped.
"What's going on?" Thea asked.
"Felicity's back in the system." Oliver said as he ran towards the computers.
"Oliver what are you doing, you can't out hack Felicity." Thea said.
"But I can keep her out by doing this." Oliver said as he literally pulled the plug on the whole system, causing it to fry.
"Curtis is going to kill you." Thea said.
"Hey, it's not my fault Felicity got past our firewalls again. I swear, we need to do something to end her threat, since we can't fully focus on stopping Merlyn's Rogues if we're also dodging attacks from Helix." Oliver said, right as Curtis came in.
"What happened here?" Curtis asked.
"Felicity got in the system again and I had to literally pull the plug to get her out." Oliver said.
"That's what she wanted you to do. She uploaded a virus that overloaded our entire network." Curtis said.
"Is there anyway you can reverse the hack and find out where she's operating from?" Thea asked.
"I can try." Curtis said.
"Good, get on that. We need to take Helix down now, or else we'll never be able to deal with the Rogues." Oliver said and Curtis nodded as he got to work on repairs.
Suddenly Oliver's phone buzzed and he saw a news update that showed Deathstroke in Orchid Bay.
"Looks like we all have work to do." Oliver said as he sent out a text the rest of the team telling them to suit up.
"Have fun." Thea said as Oliver headed to suit up.
"Slade, stand down." Green Arrow said in his filtered voice.
"Well if it isn't Green Arrow. I thought you'd lost your nerve again." Deathstroke said.
"This is between you and me. No one else." Green Arrow said.
"Why don't you tell that to your teammates. After all, I'm sure they have more pressing things to deal with such as each of my associates planting a bomb in different parts of this city." Deathstroke said.
"You heard him. Mr. Terrific. Locate those bombs and dispatch the rest of the team to deal with them. I've got a score to settle." Green Arrow said.
"Copy that." Mr. Terrific said.
"Remember kid, I taught you everything you know." Deathstroke said.
"I've picked up a few lessons since then." Green Arrow said as he held out his bow like a sword.
"Let's get this over with kid." Deathstroke as they began to fight, sword on bow.
"Okay, I'm reading 4 different bombs scattered throughout the city. Spartan take the one on 6th and Oak, Wilddog, the one at Starling General, Arsenal, go to 8th and Kreller and Siren get the one at City Hall, I've already the ACU to the situation and they'll meet you at the locations." Mr. Terrific said.
"Copy that." Spartan said.
"Copy." Wilddog said.
"Copy." Arsenal said.
"Copy." Siren said.
