Arsenal had just gotten on sight of his bomb and just as he predicted a member of the Rogues was waiting for him, Malcolm Merlyn to be specific.
"I heard you were back in town. And I see you're wearing my daughter's suit." Dark Archer said.
"Well, technically, it was my suit first." Arsenal said.
"Whatever. You can't possibly think you can beat me in enough time to both find and defuse the bomb." Dark Archer said.
"Who said I had to?" Arsenal asked with a smug grin as he activated the T-Sphere that now came standard issue with all of their suits since Mr. Terrific was now mostly staying in the bunker. The sphere went flying past Dark Archer as it began scanning for the bomb.
"And now that we're done with that, I'll take care of you." Arsenal said.
"Oh please, you really think you stand a chance against Ra's al Ghul?" Dark Archer asked.
"No, except you're not Ra's al Ghul anymore. Hell, you're literally half the man you used to be." Arsenal quipped as he began sparring with Dark Archer.
"This looks important." Arsenal said, jamming an arrow into Dark Archer's robotic hand, causing him to drop his sword and removing his ability to use his bow.
"Very clever. I see the Green Arrow has taught you well." Dark Archer said as Arsenal kicked him to the ground before his T-sphere returned, signaling that the bomb had been disarmed.
Arsenal then turned around and began to walk away.
"So what, you're just going to leave me here?" Dark Archer asked.
"Not out of pity or sympathy. I'm only sparing your life so that you can live just long enough for someone who hates you even more than the Green Arrow does to kill you." Arsenal said.
"Who?" Dark Archer asked.
"Speedy." was all Arsenal said as he then pinned Dark Archer's other hand to the wall with an arrow.
Spartan had just arrived at the location of his bomb when suddenly bullets were heard being fired.
"Vigilante's on site." Spartan said.
"My bomb's disarmed. Surprised that there was no one guarding it. I'm on my way." Siren said over the comms.
"Copy. I'll try and buy time." Spartan said.
"You don't have time." Vigilante said.
"Well then, I guess I'll have to make some." Spartan said, firing at the source of Vigilante's shots and voice.
"You don't really think you can beat me and stop the bomb do you?" Vigilante asked.
"Nope. Just stalling until my backup arrived." Spartan said.
As if on cue, a sonic scream pierced the air and Vigilante was sent flying backwards.
"Defuse the bomb. I'll deal with him." Siren said as she entered the room.
Spartan nodded as he ran towards the bomb and left Siren to deal with Vigilante.
"Where is Oliver, he was supposed to be at City Hall an hour ago." Laurel asked as she entered the bunker.
"Right now he's engaging in combat with Slade Wilson." Curtis said.
"Wait what?" Laurel asked.
"Have you been watching the news? They're covering the latest throwdown between Green Arrow and Deathstroke all day. Roy is currently dealing with Malcolm Merlyn, John and Dinah are dealing with Vigilante and Rene has Evelyn." Curtis said.
"Something tells me that Oliver will need all the help he can get against Deathstroke." Laurel said.
"Maybe, but Laurel, the whole team is currently preoccupied at the moment." Curtis said.
Laurel looked over at the mannequins, at the only one that still had a suit on it.
"Not the whole team." Laurel said.
"I thought you weren't ready to get back in the game yet?" Curtis asked.
"That was before I found out the love of my life is fighting his most dangerous enemy." Laurel said as she walked over to the mannequin and placed her hand on the Black Canary suit.
"It's time for me to finally become you again. Old friend." Laurel said as she looked up at her mask.
"Are you sure you're ready? Once you put that mask on again, I doubt there'll be any going back." Curtis said.
"It's been months since I came back to life. I think I'm finally ready to be the Black Canary again." Laurel said as she grabbed her suit and went to change.
"I must admit kid, your skills have improved since the last time we fought. Still though, you can't beat me alone." Deathstroke said to Green Arrow.
"Good thing he's not alone then." a new voice shouted.
Deathstroke looked up just in time to be hit in the face by a sonic wave.
Green Arrow looked up to see the Black Canary standing down the street, her batons out.
"What happened to a fair fight?" Deathstroke said, only to get hit by one of Green Arrow's arrows.
"You scared now that it's two on one?" Green Arrow asked.
"You wish, considering that this city is still in one piece, I know a lost cause when I see one. See you around kid." Deathstroke said as he set off a smoke bomb and suddenly he was gone.
"I never thought I'd see you in that suit again." Oliver said to Laurel with a smile as the team began to converge back at the bunker.
"Where's Rene?" Roy asked.
"Please don't tell me he got captured again." Curtis said.
"Nope and thanks for the vote of confidence hoss. In fact, this time I was the one who took a prisoner." Rene said as he walked into the bunker with Evelyn in cuffs and a gun to her back.
"Put her in the cell and we'll interrogate her later." Oliver said and Rene nodded as Quentin entered the bunker.
"I heard there was a Black Canary sighting today. I thought you weren't ready to put that mask on yet and I thought that you would've stopped her from putting it on." Quentin said to Laurel and Oliver.
"Well to be fair, I didn't even realize she was putting on the suit again until she saved my ass." Oliver defended.
"Dad, I'm ready to wear this suit again. It's been months since I came back and I'm finally ready to move forward and be the Black Canary again. And when I was out there today, I felt more like myself than I have in a long time." Laurel said.
"I'm sorry sweetheart. It's just, the last time I saw you in that suit, well, you died. And I don't want to tempt fate and lose you again." Quentin said, just to have Laurel cup his cheek with her hand.
"Don't worry dad, you won't. I asked Cisco to make some protective upgrades to my suit. It'll withstand a lot more damage now and protect me from a lot more harm." Laurel assured him.
"I hope you're right. Because if I lost you again, I'm pretty sure that I'd end it all." Quentin said.
"But you won't. Because you're not the only one who loves Laurel." Oliver assured him.
