Part 2

Disclaimer: Thought it was finally time to add on to this idea. Which the first part can be found in chapter 214.

Summary: Its a few years on and a few old friends make a startling discovery.


"Are you sure this is the real deal?" Asked a dead serious Tommy 'Green Arrow' Merlyn to Barry 'The Flash' Allen in the Bunker of the Arrow Team.

Barry, whom had been asked to do some reconnaisance where Nanda Parbat was concerned, had brought back quite a few photos and video recordings of the place. The location being one that the Batman had helpfully provided after an attack on the Arrow Team had taken place earlier in the week. Around Barry, he could see the others on the team all looking rather shocked and was confused by it all. "Yeah, why?" He asked confusedly as this had been what his friend had wanted after all!

"Because that man, the one you labeled as Ra's Al Ghul is supposed to be dead. Has been for years." Laurel told him somberly.

"The fact that Emiko never told us he's alive…" Murmured Thea while glaring angrily at one of the photos that showed Emiko standing next to Oliver while Roy placed a hand of comfort on her shoulder.

"You… You guys know him?"

Thea looked at the Speedster with watery eyes. "Yeah, he's my older brother. He died of Cancer, or… At least what's what we've believed for years."

The Speedster was shocked and even a little appalled by that as he wondered why this guy would make his friends and family believe he's been dead for years. Could this League have threatened to kill them, and thusly, making him do something he had no choice but to do? Laurel walked away in silence, not able to handle the shocking sight anymore as memories came back to her of how Oliver had been something of a jerk until he got diagnosed with Cancer. And seeing what Barry had brought back had made the Seeker of Justice have some fairly unkind thoughts where her ex was concerned. "So what now? We go after this guy?" Wondered Roy a bit unsurely.

Nothing was said at first until Tommy nodded his head. "Yeah, that's exactly what we're gonna do because we need some answers."


Author's Notes: Well, wonder how well that's gonna work out? This went through a few re-writes as well.
