Darhk
The Inmate, Michael Amar AKA Murmur was passing out books with knives in them.
Oliver
"Hey." Laurel called, getting my attention.
"Are you okay?"
"John and I had a difference of opinion."
"About Andy?"
"I confronted Andy, and Dig walked in."
"Mmm."
"Yeah. Probably should have taken your advice, District Attorney Lance."
"I'm still just an ADA. I'm turning down the promotion."
"Because it's being offered by Ruvé Darhk?"
"No, because taking the job means giving up my place here. With you and the team."
"The team's falling apart. John's furious with me, Thea's consumed with a rage for Malcolm, and... Well, Felicity's gone. Becoming District Attorney's something that you've worked the better part of three years for."
"I might have wanted to be DA, but that was a lifetime ago."
"Sara's lifetime?"
She lowered her gaze.
"You channeled your grief and became The Black Canary, but Sara's not dead anymore. Maybe you owe it to yourself to pursue the path you were on."
"You're serious?"
"This City has enough Heroes with masks on. With Ruvé Darhk was Mayor, it needs a Hero without a mask. It needs Laurel Lance."
Darhk
"Rec time. 20 minutes." A guard on the PA told us.
The buzzer sounded as the cells opened.
"Ahh. Uh, are you in touch with the land, spend much time in Mother Nature?" I asked Murmur.
He shook his head.
"No? Well, your ancestors did. They knew that life is a series of phases. "A time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, a time to uproot, a time to kill." Master the paradox of change with inconstantly, and the primordial force of nature itself will be at your beck and call."
Murmur moved a book, revealing The Idol.
"Ah. My Idol- Julius Caesar." "Cry havoc! And lets slip the dogs of war."
An Inmate stabbed a guard.
We took the guards hostage.
Oliver
We heard a Prison alarm sounding.
"What happened?" I asked Thea.
"It was rec hour. The Prisoners were out of their cells. He's holding the guards hostage." She explained.
"How many?" I inquired.
"Doesn't matter how many. We have to put Darhk back in his cage." Dig replied.
"Let's gear up!"
"Oliver, I can't prosecute him without getting him into Custody first."
Laurel had her black mask in her hand.
"One last time."
I nodded my head.
Thea
I slid on my red kevlar archer suit.
I put my red mask on my face.
I put my black quiver with my red arrows in it on my back.
I put my sword on my back.
I grabbed my red recurve bow out of the rack.
I put red eyeshadow on my eyelids.
Oliver
I slid on my black kevlar archer suit.
I put my green mask on my face.
I put my black quiver with my black arrows that have green arrowheads in it on my back.
I grabbed my black bow out of the rack.
Laurel
I slid my turtleneck bodysuit shirt on, black pants, leg holsters, and thigh high boots on.
I slid my black leather jacket on.
I put my black mask on my face.
I grabbed my black tactical tonfas out of the rack.
I put gold eyeshadow on my eyelids.
Dig
I got suited up.
I grabbed my gun out of the rack.
Oliver
"For two Vigilantes, I must say we look good." Thea commented.
Laurel laughed.
"I love her."
Lance
I pulled up in front of Iron Heights.
I got out of my car.
"What the hell's going on around here? Can't just stand around here waiting for something to happen. Who's in charge?" I asked a ESU Officer.
"Not you, Captain. You've been suspended."
I chuckled.
"Heh heh heh. Pike, right? Well, that figures. Wait it out till we've got a stack of dead bodies on our hands." I expressed my thoughts.
"I'm sorry, sir. You need to get back to your vehicle."
"No. I want to speak with him."
The ESU Officer wasn't moving.
"I need to speak with him now!"
"I can't do that."
"Yes, you can do that. You can do that. Go get-"
I saw Pike talking with a different Officer.
"Never mind. I see him."
"Sir!" He called, trying to block me from getting to Pike.
"Pike! Hey! I see you over there! What are you doing here, huh?!"
Oliver
Cops were everywhere.
"How are we gonna get through all those Cops?" Dig questioned.
"Looks like Lance has it covered."
"By laying into Lieutenant Pike apparently." Thea pointed out.
Lance punched Pike in the face, knocking him out.
"And he just knocked him out." She announced.
"As a distraction to give us an opening. Let's move." I ordered.
We dropped in through the roof.
"Thought I told you to come alone." I told Dig when I saw Andy.
"You did. And I didn't."
"Look. I know you don't trust me, but that's why I'm here- To prove you can."
"Darhk has hostages in the Mess Hall. Let's fan out and hit them from all sides." I ordered.
Dig cocked his gun.
Dig and Andy ran off in the left direction.
Laurel and Thea ran off in the right direction.
I ran off in the middle direction.
Laurel
We encountered three Inmates.
"I remember this guy." I told Thea when I saw Murmur.
"Those lips." Thea pointed out.
"Gross." I commented.
We took them down.
Dig
Andy and me were shooting Inmates.
Laurel
"Not a bad warm-up. It seems like you're ready for a rematch." It was Merlyn from behind Thea.
She turned around.
"Go get the others. I've got this."
"No. Let me take him."
"Go!"
I ran off to meet up with Ollie, Dig, and Andy.
Thea
"Let's see how well I taught you." Malcolm told me.
I took my sword off my back.
I ran at him.
Darhk
There was gunfire and shouting.
"Huh. You know, the Police took me seriously when I said I would start killing hostages if they moved upon the Prison. It's too bad our masked Vigilante friends didn't get the memo."
I was standing in front of a guard.
"Well, too bad for you really. Kill them." I ordered the Inmates to kill the guards.
Oliver
I shot an arrow into one of the Inmate's backs that tried to kill a guard.
Dig shot a bullet at one of the Inmates that tried to kill a guard.
Andy shot a bullet at one of the Inmates that tried to kill a guard.
Laurel hopped over one of the Mess Hall tables.
She was hitting Inmates with her black tactical tonfa.
I kept fighting with Inmates.
Dig kept fighting with Inmates.
Laurel kept fighting with Inmates.
Andy was having a hard time fighting with Inmates.
Thea
Malcolm and me were sword fighting.
I caused him to roll backwards on the floor.
Malcolm got back up.
We continued sword fighting.
I punched him in the face, surprising him.
Malcolm stumbled backwards.
He knocked my sword out of my hand.
Malcolm pinned me against cell bars.
"Unh!"
He had his sword across my neck.
I was gagging.
"You no longer have the drive to kill, and it shows. You lost part of yourself when they cured you of that bloodlust, and that is why you will never beat me."
Malcolm removed his sword from across my neck.
He ran off.
Oliver
Dig was fighting Inmates.
One of the Inmates had Andy in a headlock.
He kicked Andy's gun to Darhk.
I flipped an Inmate on his back.
Darhk picked up Andy's gun.
Laurel threw an Inmates through the air.
We all stopped fighting when we saw he had a gun.
Darhk aimed it at Andy.
"Andrew Diggle, it's been awhile."
"Let him go!" Dig ordered.
"Drop your weapons."
"Don't do it." Andy told him.
"Suit yourself. But on the count of three, I'm gonna turn that wall into a Jackson Pollock painting with his brains."
The three of us weren't standing down.
"1...
2..."
Dig and me glanced at each other.
"Okay." He told him, holding his hands up in surrender.
I put my arrow back into my quiver of arrows.
Dig slid his gun across the room.
Laurel put her black tactical tonfa on the floor.
I put my black bow on the floor.
"Now was that so hard?"
An Inmate put Dig in a headlock with a knife to his throat.
Two Inmates grabbed me.
An Inmate put Laurel in a headlock with a knife to her throat.
"I believe you have something for me." He told Andy, walking towards him.
The Inmate let go of Andy.
He put the last piece of The Idol into Darhk's hand.
"An- Andy."
"I'm sorry, man."
"Heh heh heh."
Darhk gave Andy's gun back to him.
"Andy."
I tried to get out of the Inmates' grasp.
It didn't work.
He aimed his gun at me.
"I've been tracking your movements for months. I know everywhere you been. All I needed to hear was that it was you that hid the stone." Andy told Dig, looking over at him whilst having his gun trained on me.
"Was there ever a chance for you?"
"Your brother's way beyond reach, Mr. Diggle."
Darhk put the last piece of the Idol into the Idol.
"It's all over now."
A bow string was drawn.
I knew it was Thea.
She fired two red arrows into Darhk.
"Unh!" He yelled, falling against the wall.
"Took the words right out of my mouth!"
Dig knocked the Inmate off him.
Laurel knocked the Inmate off her.
I knocked the Inmates off me.
We went back to fighting Inmates.
Darhk pulled both of the arrows out.
I punched one in the stomach five times before knocking him out.
One had Laurel in the headlock and one was coming at her.
She kicked him backwards.
Laurel knocked the one out that had her in a headlock.
"I need to sacrifice."
Darhk put his hands on the Idol.
"Not enough. You know what to do." He told Andy.
Andy shot two Inmates we had taken down, killing them.
Darhk put his hand on one of the deceased Inmate's leg.
"Ohh. Kanjigar septum vohnostrum."
"Ha ha ha!" Darhk said, standing up.
Laurel, Thea, Dig, and me went to go after him.
He put us in a frozen state.
"Ohh! Oh, I feel so much better." He addressed the four of us.
"Hey. I am sorry about your buddies, but omelets and eggs and all of that, but I know how to make it up to you, though."
The Inmates on the floor got up.
"Who wants to go for a walk outside?"
"Heh heh heh." He said when the Inmates walked out of the Mess Hall.
"Andy here might have mentioned that his brother, John, worked for The Green Arrow, or should I say Oliver Queen?"
Malcolm joined Andy and Darhk.
"Oh, oh, oh, see, I know what you're all thinking, but, no, he didn't tell me." He pointed back at Malcolm.
"It was really just a hop, skip, and a jump from the whole Diggle connection to you to your little Sister to your ex-girlfriend. But when you came to rescue that boy, William, that look on your face. That was a father's look. I should have recognized it there and then."
Malcolm
Thea and Laurel were the only ones Damien didn't put in a frozen State.
"Sexism at its finest." Andy commented.
"We need to get out of here now." I told him.
"Patience."
Damien sent her backwards into a wall.
Thea grunted as she landed on one of the tables.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
I looked over at her.
Thea was fine.
"Miss. Lance, nine months ago, I made your Daddy a promise."
I picked the idol up.
"I told him what I would do if he betrayed me."
"Unh!" Oliver commented, breaking out of the frozen State.
He fired an arrow at him.
Damien caught it.
He put him back in the frozen State.
"Impressive." Damien complimented Oliver's archery skills.
"Now, where was I?" He questioned.
"Oh, yeah. I want you to give your father a message from me."
Damien walked closer to Laurel.
She was running across the hall.
Andy was firing bullets at Thea.
She was ducking to miss them.
Thea shot an arrow at Andy.
It landed in his gut.
Andy doubled over in pain.
"I want you to tell him-"
She stepped in front of her at the last second.
"Unh!"
Thea gagged on her blood as Damien stabbed the arrow in her gut.
She gasped.
"I'm a man of my word. I told him I'd take one of his daughters. Not which one."
Thea's blue eyes rolled to the back of her head.
He let go of the arrow.
Damien took Oliver and Diggle out of the frozen State.
"Ohh."
Thea sank to her knees.
She was gasping as she held the arrow.
Oliver
I ran over to Thea.
"Hey, hey."
She laid out on the floor.
"It's alright. It's okay."
Thea stared.
"Hey, hey. Look at me. Look at me."
Her eyes drifted over to me.
Blood was running down Thea's chin.
"You're gonna be alright. You're gonna be alright."
She stared.
"Come on."
I easily lifted Thea up into my arms.
She wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
Laurel cried.
"This is my fault."
"We don't have time to play the blame game right now."
I hurried out of Iron Heights with Thea.
Laurel
"Thea is gonna be fine. She survived getting stabbed in the chest with a sword."
"That's not funny."
"She's stronger than she looks. That's why she did it, Laurel."
We were trying to locate Darhk or any of the Inmates.
We didn't have any luck.
