From 2.01 "City of Heroes", in the conference room, Oliver stood in front of the board.

Oliver: (voice over) "My name is Oliver Queen."

From 2.01 "City of Heroes", in the cemetery, Jill was sitting at Tommy's grave in guilt.

Jill: (voice over) "I'm Jill Wright."

From 1.06 "Legacies", in flashback to the cave on Lian Yu, Oliver was aiding Jill after they saved her from the soldiers.

Oliver lifted the back of her shirt to reveal carved tally marks in her back that were bleeding and scarred. They were all over her back, the tally marks small to include all of the number of the days. There were a few in her shoulders, as the skin of her back couldn't hold it all.

Jill: (voice over) "After five years on a hellish island..."

From 1.23 "Sacrifice", in flashback to the soldier camp, Jill jumped down from the missile launcher, taking cover.

The missile hit the ground at the soldier camp, setting it ablaze.

Jill sat back tiredly on the ground, watching the flames.

From 1.06 "Legacies", in the hideout, Oliver and Jill were training at the hideout with two metal short staffs. Oliver and shirtless. Jill was in workout clothes, including a sports bra. Oliver swung both of his up over their heads, trying to come down on her. Jill raised both of hers in an X shape to block both of his.

Jill: (voice over) "We have come to Starling City with only one goal."

From 1.08 "Vendetta", in the hideout, Jill was getting suited up.

Oliver was watching from nearby, getting suited up.

John and Justin walked closer.

From 1.23 "Sacrifice", in Merlyn Global Group, Tommy and Oliver/Arrow helped Jill/Sapphire inside to get them to the ground outside.

The building was falling apart around them.

Tommy saw rubble falling toward them, pushing them out of the way.

The debris fell onto Tommy, making him fall, pinning him down.

Jill started to pull the debris away.

A pipe had been stabbed into Tommy's chest.

Oliver and Jill were horrified.

Oliver: (voice over) "To honor my friend's memory, I must be someone else."

From 2.01 "City of Heroes", in the cemetery, Oliver and Jill stood at Tommy's grave.

From 2.01 "City of Heroes", in the foundry, Oliver and Jill walked in to join John, Justin and Felicity.

Jill: (voice over) "I must be..."

Jill looked at the knife in her hand. She morphed into Sapphire.

Jill: (voice over) "Something else."

Oliver looked at the arrow in his hand. He morphed into Arrow.

➣ ➣

From 1.13 "Betrayal", in the fuselage, Oliver and Jill were meeting Slade.

Oliver: (voice over) "Previously on Sapphire Arrow."

They shook hands.

"Slade Wilson," Slade told them.

From 1.14 "The Odyssey", in flashback, there were flashes of Slade training Oliver and Jill how to fight.

Slade: (voice over from 1.14 The Odyssey) "Let me show you how not to die."

From 2.09 "Three Ghosts", in flashback, Oliver, Jill, Sara, Slade and Shado were on the submarine.

Slade looked at Shado. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Shado asked.

"For not telling you how I really feel," Slade answered.

Jill injected Slade with the Mirakuru.

From 2.09 "Three Ghosts", in flashback on the island, Ivo's men still had Sara, Jill and Shado on their knees on the ground, keeping Oliver back.

Ivo stood behind Sara, Jill and Shado, aiming his gun at Sara. "Time to choose, Oliver." He aimed his gun at Jill. "Who lives." He aimed his gun at Shado. "And who dies. Because in thirty seconds, I will shoot them all." Oliver looked between Sara, Jill and Shado in guilt and denial. "Time's up."

Ivo aimed his gun at Jill.

Oliver ran toward Ivo, kneeling in front of him. "No, no!"

"I guess you made your choice," Ivo told him, shooting Shado in the head.

Jill screamed in denial. "No!"

Later, Slade was holding Shado's body. "Whoever did this to her is going to suffer."

From 2.15 "The Promise", on the freighter, Slade had the ship's men aiming guns at Oliver and Jill, walking closer. "You cannot die until you have known complete despair." Oliver stood between Jill and Slade. "And you will. I promise."

From 2.16 "Suicide Squad", on the rooftop, Jill/Sapphire saw a Deathstroke mask with an arrow and a knife through either of his eyes.

Amanda: (voice over from 2.16 Suicide Squad) "A new player we've been tracking."

From 2.18 "Deathstroke", in the unknown location, Slade was getting suited up.

Amanda: (voice over from 2.16 Suicide Squad) "We've been calling him Deathstroke."

From 2.09 "Three Ghosts", in the warehouse, Skylar and Roy were tied to chairs.

Sebastian/Brother Blood walked toward them with the Mirakuru.

Sebastian gripped Skylar by her throat, turning her head aside, injecting Skylar with Mirakuru. He injected Roy with Mirakuru.

Skylar: (voice over from 2.15 The Promise) "Why did you have the guy in the skull mask give me the Mirakuru?"

From 2.15 "The Promise", outside of the Queen Mansion, Slade was in his car, talking to Oliver, Jill, Skylar, Amy and Sara.

"Because I wanted to do to you what was done to me, a form of revenge," Slade answered.

From 2.20 "Seeing Red", in the woods, Slade had the Queens wounded enough to where they couldn't fight back, facing each other. Oliver was facing Moira, Skylar and Thea, just like what had happened when Ivo had made him choose between Shado, Jill and supposedly Sara five years ago on the island.

"I swear to God, I am going to kill you!" Skylar told him furiously. 

Slade drew his sword from his jacket, turning to face Moira, driving it through her chest. He pulled the sword out of Moira's heart, letting her fall dead to the ground. "There is still one person who has to die... before this can end."

From 2.21 "City of Blood", in the warehouse, Oliver, Jill, Skylar, Justin, John and Felicity were talking.

Oliver looked at Jill. "He meant you. This ends for Slade when he kills you. I refuse to let him."

From 2.20 "Seeing Red", in the woods, Skylar, Thea and Oliver continued to lay on the ground with their dead mother, completely and utterly broken down in devastation.

Skylar: (voice over from 2.21 City of Blood) "Slade wanted me to lose control."

From 2.21 "City of Blood", outside the Queen Mansion, Skylar and Justin were talking.

"And I think he's about to get his wish," Skylar told him. "The only way to stop him is to become him."

"And if you do that, you may never come back," Justin told her.

From 2.19 "The Face Beneath the Mask", in the foundry, Roy was laying on the table, unconscious. Oliver, Jill, Skylar, Justin, Felicity, John, Amy, Sara, Aurora and Logan were standing around him.

"Slade's got 20 guys just like him, and we have no way to stop him," Amy told them.

"Yes, we do," Jill told them, taking a vial of Mirakuru out of her pocket. "Mirakuru. We're going to use it to make a cure."

From 2.21 "City of Blood", in the van, Felicity was on the phone. "Aurora, now is really not a good time."

Aurora was on the road, driving with Logan in the passenger seat. "I got the cure."

From 2.21 "City of Blood" and 2.22 "Streets of Fire", there were flashes of Mirakuru men terrorizing the city, with Team Sapphire Arrow, Aurora, Logan, Kira and Karma fighting them.

Jessica: (voice over from 2.22 Streets of Fire) "We got masks tearing our city to pieces, and we're going to need masks to stop them."

From 2.22 "Streets of Fire", outside the train station, Malcolm and Thea were facing each other.

Malcolm walked closer. "You have no idea, Thea, how dangerous it is out there. The city is falling."

From 2.22 "Streets of Fire", in the police precinct hallway, Sara/Canary and Laurel were talking.

"Where is Amy?" Laurel asked. "You said that she's getting help. From who?"

"Doesn't matter," Sara told her. 

From 2.13 "Heir to the Demon", in the alley, Raven, in her League uniform, was fighting with Sara/Canary, Amy/Ruby, Oliver/Arrow and Skylar.

Sara: (voice over from 2.22 Streets of Fire) "All you need to know is that the help that she's getting..."

From 2.13 "Heir to the Demon", in the warehouse, Jill/Sapphire and Nyssa (in her League uniform) were fighting.

Sara: (voice over from 2.22 Streets of Fire) "It's the only kind that we really have that know what they're doing."

From 2.22 "Streets of Fire", in the ARGUS facility, Kira and Karma walked in toward Amanda.

"Slade's followers are a clear and present danger, Karma," Amanda told her. "I cannot allow them to escape the city. They need to be contained by any means necessary."

Kira shook her head. "You can't."

"Carrying six GBU/43-B bombs, enough fire power to level the city," Amanda told them.

"Amanda, we can help them stop Slade and his men, but we just need more time," Karma told her.

"You have until dawn," Amanda told them. "And then Starling City is a crater."

From 2.22 "Streets of Fire", in the clock tower, Oliver/Arrow, Jill/Sapphire, Skylar/Athena, Aurora/Glacia and Logan/Guardian were still suited up, but without their masks, and Oliver, Skylar and Logan's hoods. They stood with Justin, Felicity and John around the unconscious Roy.

Aurora hesitantly prepared to inject Roy with the Mirakuru cure. She injected the needle with the cure into Roy's shoulder, pushing the plunger and pushing the liquid into his veins.

Everyone looked at each other, hoping that the cure would work.

Logan / Guardian: 

Same Night - Day One 

Night - Clock Tower  

Oliver/Arrow, Jill/Sapphire, Skylar/Athena, Aurora/Glacia, Logan/Guardian, Justin, John and Felicity were in the clock tower, waiting to see if the cure for the Mirakuru had worked on Roy.

Oliver, Jill, Skylar, Aurora and Logan were not wearing their masks or hood.

Skylar was looking away. She saw a hallucination of Moira, an effect on her mind caused by the Mirakuru messing with her head. She was saddened by the sight of her, but she looked as if she was trying not to lose herself to the anger that was overwhelming her.

Justin looked at Skylar in concern, noticing that her hand was shaking. "Skylar? Sky, you okay?"

Skylar looked at Justin. She looked toward where Moira had been, but the hallucination was gone. She sighed, looking down at Roy. "The cure's not working."

"We don't know that," Logan told them. "He still has a lot of Tibetan pit viper venom in his system."

An alarm started to beep from Felicity's tablet.

"What's that?" John asked.

"Proximity alarm," Felicity answered, picking up her tablet. "I rigged the tower with sensors just in case Slade's goons came here to kill us." She brought up thermal readings to show a group of men walking up to the tower. "Slade's goons came here to kill us."

"Talk to me, Felicity," Oliver told her.

"They're inside," Felicity told them. "They're right underneath us."

Aurora walked toward the window of the clock tower, putting her hands over the window to freeze it at contact to the point where it shattered. She held her hands down toward the ground outside, starting to form a hill of ice.

Roy woke up, groaning in pain. "Where am I?"

Roy stood.

Aurora continued to create the hill of ice to get it to right below the window.

One of Slade's men came up through the trapdoor.

Roy punched him in the face, having little to no affect, holding his fist in pain. The man slammed him to the ground.

Oliver shot the man with an arrow.

"They're inside," Felicity told them frantically. "There's too many of them."

A man broke up through the floor, grabbing Felicity by her ankle, making her scream.

Skylar kicked the man repeatedly with super strength to make him let go. Logan pulled her back.

Aurora turned to the others. "Down the ice! Go, go, go, go."

All of them climbed out of the broken window, sliding down the hill of ice.

Aurora was the only one left in the tower, grabbing the briefcase with the cure.

A man burst up through the floor.

Aurora held her hand toward the man, shooting ice into his mask, making him fall to the ground below. She climbed out of the broken window, sliding down the hill of ice, running down toward the others.

➣

Outside 

The group looked up at the Mirakuru men that were trying to climb out of the clock tower.

An ARGUS helicopter was flying closer to the window, shooting out the men in the window with a missile, killing them.

Lyla, Kira and Karma were in the helicopter, looking down at the group on the ground.

John saw Lyla, smiling a small smile.

➣ Sapphire Arrow  ➣

Streets 

The Mirakuru men were still terrorizing the streets.

➣

Verdant - Foundry 

Oliver, Jill, Skylar, Justin, John, Felicity, Roy, Lyla, Kira, Karma, Logan and Aurora walked into the foundry, seeing that it was completely trashed.

Jill looked around. "What the hell happened?"

"Slade's army," Logan answered. "You were right about this place being compromised."

"Team Sapphire Arrow, our boss is going to bomb the city at dawn," Kira told them.

"Yeah, Waller's never seen a problem she didn't think couldn't be solved with a drone strike," Karma told them.

"Why do you think we're here?" Lyla asked.

John looked at them in surprise. "You knew Waller was looking to level the city and you came here anyway?"

"You're here," Lyla told him.

"And we came to help in whatever way we can," Kira told them. She looked at Lyla. "Karma and I will stay with them where they need us. You need to go back to ARGUS. You need to stop Waller or buy us enough time to stop Slade."

"Not without me," John told her. "Till death do us part, right?"

"This time it might," Lyla told him.

"Guys?" Jill asked. "I need you to scrounge as many weapons as you can find, especially injection arrows. We're going to fill them with the cure..." She looked at Roy. "Which clearly works. And this ends tonight, without killing. There's been enough death already."

Skylar looked away, seeing her hallucination of Moira, triggered by what Jill had said about there being enough death already, flashing back to when Slade had killed Moira in front of her, Oliver and Thea.

Justin looked at Skylar knowingly, worriedly, knowing that she was hanging on by a thread.

➣

Train Station - Outside 

Thea fired the gun twice, looking shocked and terrified

Malcolm fell to the ground.

Thea dropped her gun, starting to cry and walk away.

Malcolm stood. "Thea." He walked around her to stand in front of her, showing her the bullets. "It's called Kevlar."

Thea scoffed defeatedly. "If you're going to kill me, just... get it over with."

"Kill you?" Malcolm repeated. "Why? Because you shot me? I'm glad you did."

"You're sick," Thea told him incredulously. 

"Perhaps," Malcolm told her. "How else to explain the fact that not a year ago, your brother held a gun to my face as well."

"Tommy?" Thea asked.

Malcolm nodded. "He lacked conviction, the strength to pull the trigger, but not you, Thea. You are made of iron. You are truly my daughter, and I could not be more proud."

Thea scoffed, walking away.

Starling City Police Department

Jessica and Lance were giving orders and handing shotguns to all the offices.

"Remember your training," Lance told them. "You be smart, you take clean shots, and you don't miss the--"

They heard a man on radio. "Fall back to Meltzer Avenue. We need SWAT at Union Plaza. City Hall's a crater. They're--they're everywhere. Fall back, fall back. I'm hit!"

Jessica and Lance exchanged a sad, worried look.

"Okay, listen, I know you're scared," Jessica told them. "You wouldn't be human if you weren't. But tonight, this city, our city, it's counting on each and every one of you. So we go out there, and be the heroes we all can be. Go."

Everyone dispersed.

Laurel walked toward Lance and Jessica worriedly.

"Where's Sara?" Lance asked.

"I don't know," Laurel told them.

"Detectives, I've got one-p-p on the line with Lt. Pike in the field," an officer told them. "Quentin, you're the ranking officer."

Jessica looked at Quentin. "You should go. I'll be out in the field. Laurel can find Sara."

"Laurel, I don't want you stepping foot outside this precinct," Lance told her. "You hear me?"

"I won't," Laurel told them. "I promise."

Laurel walked away.

Lance looked at Jessica. "All right, Jessie, be careful, sweetheart."

"I will," Jessica told him. "I promise."

Jessica walked away.

Lance walked toward the officer. "What do we got?"

➣

Amy / Ruby: 

Hallway 

Sara/Canary, Amy/Ruby and two figures were talking in the back of the police precinct, without their masks.

"My sisters can't be apart of this," Sara told them. "I don't want them getting hurt."

Laurel walked closer. "Sara. Amy, where have you been?" 

 Sara and Amy turned to face her. 

"Hello, Laurel," Amy told her.

A tranq dart was shot into Laurel's neck, making her fall unconscious.

➣

Karma / Cobra:

Kira / Viper:

Raven Evangeline:

Verdant - Foundry 

Everyone else was still here. 

Aurora and Logan were transferring the cure in the vials into the injection arrows.

Roy and Felicity were helping them.

"Well, it seems like I missed a lot," Roy told them. He looked at Aurora and Logan. "Like you. I don't remember you."

"My name's Aurora," Aurora told her. "But when I'm wearing this, I'm Glacia." 

Aurora held up her hand, twining her fingers, showing him the ice that was twinkling along her skin, letting it fade. 

"I'm Logan," Logan told him. "People like to call me Guardian." 

Logan used his fist to slam through a broken piece of computer to tear it in half with super strength.

Roy was impressed. 

"We helped Jill and Amy save your life," Aurora told him.

"Roy, what do you remember?" Felicity asked.

"Leaving town and heading to Bludhaven," Roy answered. "Was I out cold the whole time?" Aurora and Logan looked at Felicity. "Felicity?"

Felicity looked at Roy, nodding. "You were out. The whole time."

Lyla and John were sitting nearby, talking.

"Slade has at least 50 or so of those human weapons," John told her. They stood. "We'll need a whole army if we plan on hitting them with the cure."

Amy walked in. "I know." Justin, Lyla and John jumped, drawing their guns, aiming at the door. Skylar, Kira, Karma, Oliver and Jill walked closer. Amy led Sara, Nyssa, Raven and a few men from the League inside. "Which is why an army is what I've brought."

Oliver and Jill looked at Amy in guarded surprise.

➣➣

Justin, Lyla and John were still aiming their guns at Nyssa, Raven and the men.

"Gee, Amy, you could have called before you invited 5, 6, 7, 8 assassins down into our top secret lair," Justin told her.

"What are they doing here?" Skylar asked.

"I asked them to come," Amy answered.

"I'm Nyssa, daughter of Ra's Al Ghul," Nyssa told them. "Heir to the Demon."

"Kira and Karma Mahageni, Viper and Cobra," Kira told them.

"AKA, the Snakes," Karma told them.

Felicity looked at Raven. "Let me guess. Raven Evangeline?"

"You're perceptive," Raven told her.

Jill took Amy by the arm, pulling her aside to talk to her alone. "This is where you went? Nanda Parbat? The League of Assassins? These people are mercenaries, Amy. Whatever they promised you, it comes at a price. It doesn't matter that they're family."

Amy turned to face her. "You don't have to worry about it, because I've already paid it."

Jill looked at her in confusion until she realized. "You agreed to go back."

"Look, I'm not going to let Slade Wilson hurt you, or anyone else that I care about," Amy told her. Jill rolled her eyes, turning away. "And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep the ones that I love safe, and I hope you're ready to do the same. Especially after what happened." Jill turned to face her. Amy looked at her sadly. "Jill, I'm sorry about Moira."

Jill sighed. "I am willing to do whatever it takes, but that doesn't mean cold-blooded killing is the answer, Amy. We have the cure now."

"To fight the unthinkable, you have to be willing to do the unthinkable," Amy told her.

Nyssa walked closer. "You may not want our help, Alyanna..." Jill sighed in annoyance, turning to look at her. "But there's little question you are in desperate need of it."

"My name's Jill," Jill told her.

Nyssa smirked in amusement. "It wasn't when you were born."

Sara rolled her eyes. "First, we need to find Slade's base of operations."

"Slade Wilson and Isabel Rochev are using your former office building as their base of operations," Raven told them.

Oliver walked toward Roy. "How are you feeling?"

"Ready to serve up some payback," Roy answered.

Oliver held up a box. "Then remember your training. Remember everything that you've learned."

Roy took the box in confusion, nodding. He opened the box to reveal a red mask inside. "Are--are you for real?"

"If you survive a crucible, you grow the stronger for it," Oliver told him. "This is to remind you of that."

Roy nodded. "What happened to Thea? Is she... okay?"

Skylar sighed, nodding. "She's fine. She was headed out of the city before this started."

Jill walked closer to Nyssa, Raven and the men from the League. "We do this my way."

"The League does not take prisoners," Nyssa told her.

Jill was not being gentle like she usually was, but commanding, because she was not playing around with the League. "You want me to have anything to do with you, your father, the League? If you want me to have anything to do with my family from Nanda Parbat, you will tonight."

Kira, Karma, Justin, Skylar, John, Roy, Lyla, Aurora and Logan were stunned with her approach to them.

Sara, Skylar, Oliver, Amy, Raven and Nyssa were only a little surprised, looking impressed.

➣

Train Station - Outside 

Thea was walking quickly away from Malcolm.

Malcolm followed her. "Thea, it's dangerous out there."

"Better than here with my psycho-villain dad, who's happy I tried to kill him," Thea told him. Her phone started to ring. She pulled it out, seeing who was calling, coming to a stop, answering. "Roy?"

"Thea, it's--it's me," Roy told her. He was in the foundry, getting ready to leave with everyone else. "I just wanted to make sure you were all right."

"I'm fine," Thea told him. "I'm at the train station."

"Thea, listen to me," Roy told her. "You're not safe there. Can you please meet me at my place?"

Thea nodded. "I'll be there. Soon as I can."

"Okay, be safe," Roy told her.

Thea hung up.

Malcolm walked closer. "Who was that? Roy?" Thea gave him a look. "You're my daughter. There's not much I don't know about you. Interesting how you run back to him after resolving to run away to escape all the lies and half-truths. He's no different, Thea. No different from your mother, or Skylar, or Oliver. If you don't believe me, then you should go to him."

"I will," Thea told him. "And if you try to follow me, I'll shoot you again."

Thea walked away.

Malcolm smirked in amusement, proud. "When you need me, I'll be there."

Queen Consolidated - Elevator Bank 

Several Mirakuru men were in the Queen Consolidated building.

The elevator dinged.

Man 1 walked toward the elevator.

There were two Mirakuru men in there who had been injected with the cure.

Sara/Canary jumped down from the ceiling, stabbing Man 1 in the leg with a knife, and then with an injection arrow to inject him with the cure, making him fall. She stood, walking out of the elevator. "Elevator bank's clear."

➣

Conference Room 

Oliver/Arrow, Jill/Sapphire, Skylar/Athena and Amy/Ruby were in the conference room.

Amy stabbed Man 3 in the back with an injection arrow, pushing him to the floor.

Skylar shot Man 4 with an injection arrow, making him fall.

"Conference room's clear," Oliver told them.

Amy looked at Skylar. "By the way, I forgot to tell you earlier. Nice suit."

Skylar smirked a little.

➣

CEO Office

Oliver, Jill, Skylar, Amy and Sara walked into the office where several Mirakuru men were waiting.

Jill drew her swords from the sheaths on her back.

Amy drew her Sai knives, twirling them in her hands.

Sara drew her staff, resting it behind her head.

Slade/Deathstroke was among the men in the room, with Isabel by his side. "You must have quite a bit of faith in this cure if you've come alone."

"We didn't come alone," Jill told him.

Aurora/Glacia walked in, kneeling down to touch the floor, creating an ice buildup so fast that it made all of the men fall to the floor.

Logan/Guardian ran in to tackle many men to the floor, punching Man 5, turning to throw Man 6 into a group of men, making them fall.

Kira/Viper spun into the room with her staff that was detachable into two, using them in a blur of motion to hit man of the men and inject them with the cure.

Karma/Cobra jumped down from the ceiling to land on a man's back, stabbing him in the neck with the cure, leaping from him toward another man to inject him with the cure.

Justin walked in to fire neverending shots from his gun to distract the men so that he and the others could inject them with the cure.

Nyssa, Raven and the men from the League jumped in from the windows, shattering them, firing the injection arrows into many of the Mirakuru men.

Isabel tried to stab Aurora with her sword.

Aurora ducked.

"You nearly paralyzed me when you froze me," Isabel told her. "Let me return the favor."

Isabel slashed the sword toward Aurora's hand. Aurora coated her wrist with ice so that when the sword hit her, it wouldn't harm her. Isabel looked at Aurora in shock. Aurora smirked, shooting ice against Isabel's chest, making her fall to the floor.

Oliver and Skylar both tried to shoot Slade with an injection arrow, though his armor wouldn't allow it to pass through.

Isabel stood, slashing her swords toward Jill. Jill raised her swords to block the move. Isabel slashed toward her. Jill spun out of the way, slashing toward her.

Logan stabbed another man with an injection arrow, making him fall.

Slade jumped out of the window.

Justin ran up to the window, watching Slade slide down a wire into the next building, turning to draw his gun and fire at several men, stabbing them with the cure.

Amy slashed her Sai knives against another man, making him fall to his knees, picking up the missed injection arrow, stabbing the man in the shoulder with it, spinning to kick him in the head, making him fall.

Sara and Kira used their staffs to slam into the heads of two men, stabbing injection arrows into both of their shoulders, making them fall.

Isabel slashed her swords toward Jill. Jill raised her swords to block the moves, slashing the swords across her arms to make her drop the swords. Isabel spun to try and kick her. Jill ducked.

Skylar stabbed Isabel in the back with an injection arrow to make her fall to her knees, raising the arrow over her head to stab Isabel furiously in the head.

Oliver walked closer. "Skylar, don't!"

Skylar hesitated, lowering her arrow.

"Kill me," Isabel told them. "Don't kill me. It doesn't matter. I beat you. I took away the one--"

Raven snapped Isabel's neck, letting her body fall to the floor.

Oliver and Skylar aimed their bows and arrows at Raven.

Justin aimed his gun at Raven.

The men of the League aimed their bows and arrows at Justin, Kira, Karma, Logan, Skylar, Aurora, Sara, Jill, Amy and Oliver.

Justin drew another gun to aim at the men.

Aurora formed ice in her hands, aiming to shoot at the men of the League if they fired off a shot. Logan prepared to use his super strength if needed.

"Your reticence to do what is necessary is why your city burns," Raven told them.

The members of the League, Nyssa and Raven included, walked out, leaving.

Aurora let the ice melt in her hands, lowering her arms. Logan relaxed. Oliver and Skylar lowered their bows while Justin lowered his guns.

"This isn't working," Oliver told them. "I can't get close enough to Slade to hit him with the cure."

"So what do we do?" Kira asked.

Jill and Oliver exchanged a look, sighing.

Flashback

Night - Freighter 

Slade's men were restraining Sara, Jill and Oliver on the freighter.

Slade had injected a fourth man with the Mirakuru, only to find him to die. "Another disappointment." He looked at a fifth man. "Bring me another."

The fifth man dragged the body away.

"Come on, Slade," Oliver told him. "What are you doing?"

Slade held up the Mirakuru. "Advancing the cause of science."

Another man brought forward a struggling man.

Slade prepared to inject him with the Mirakuru.

"Wait!" Jill told him. "No, no, wait! I know you blame us for Shado's death. I blame myself."

Slade's hallucination of Shado appeared. "She should. It's her fault we aren't together. Oliver chose her over me. I would still be alive if it wasn't for Jill."

Slade looked around, but he didn't see Shado.

"You said once that we were family," Oliver told him. "And right now, I am begging you, just listen to me!"

"Don't listen to him!" Shado told him. "All his words are lies."

"Oliver and I wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for you," Jill told him.

"I would be alive if it wasn't for her," Shado told him.

"Think about Shado," Oliver told him. "She--she cared about all of us. She wouldn't want this. She wanted us off Lian Yu. She'd want all of this to end."

Slade held his head in pain from all of the voices and all of the things that they were saying.

"He's right," Shado told him. "This needs to end. You need to kill them." 

Slade suddenly became very calm, lowering the Mirakuru to the floor, pacing.

Anatoly and Thomas were preparing to do what Oliver had told them to do.

"Two hours now," Thomas told him.

"Oliver said to sink the 'Amazo' if they were not back in one," Anatoly told him.

"Maybe they need just a little more time," Thomas told him.

"Time is not on our side," Anatoly told him. He walked toward the controls of the torpedo. "Prosti menya, moy drug. [Forgive me, my friends.] I'm sorry."

Anatoly hit the button to release the torpedo.

Freighter 

Slade's men were restraining Oliver, Jill and Sara.

Slade was facing his hallucination of Shado, reaching into his jacket pocket to pull out his mask, putting it on. 

The men restraining Oliver and Jill pushed them to their knees.

 "Do it," Shado told him. "Make Oliver watch the girl he loves die before you kill him yourself."

Slade drew his gun, turning to face them.

Sara struggled against the man retraining her. "Slade, no!"

Slade aimed his gun at Jill.

Oliver struggled against the man restraining him to the floor.

Jill was also being held still, struggling.

Shado looked at Slade. "Pull the trigger."

"Slade!" Oliver told him.

The torpedo hit the bottom of the freighter, causing a small explosion that threw everyone to the floor.

Night - Starling City Police Department

Jessica and Lance found where Laurel was unconscious on the floor.

"Laurel?" Jessica asked worriedly. "Laurel!"

They knelt next to her in concern.

"Sweetheart?" Lance asked. "Sweetheart!"

They woke Laurel up, helping her sit up.

"What--what happened?" Jessica asked.

Laurel looked around. "Sara?"

"She's gone, sweetie," Lance told her. "You okay?"

They heard gunshots from further in the precinct.

Main Room 

Jessica and Lance ran inside to see a Mirakuru man attacking the officers, drawing their guns, aiming at the man.

"Stop right there," Lance told him. "Don't take one more step. One more step!"

The man walked toward Jessica and Lance, so they fired shots into his chest. The man slammed his hand into Lance's chest, throwing him into a desk, making him tumble to the floor.

Jessica continued to shoot the man. The man tried to punch her.

Jessica ducked, spinning to stab the man in the neck with a knife from the desk, backing away toward the weapons ordinance bucket on the desk, taking out four bombs, tossing them to the man without him realizing what they were. "Catch." She ran toward Laurel and Lance to get them away from the blast. "Get down!"

The bombs went off behind Laurel, Jessica and Lance, taking the man with it. They looked behind them, breathing heavily.

Queen Consolidated - Elevator Bank 

Justin and Felicity brought Laurel, Lance and Jessica to the building.

"Why does this Wilson guy have such a man-on for the Queens and Jill Wright?" Lance asked.

"I don't know," Felicity told them. "It's a good thing Thea, Skylar, Oliver and Jill got out of town in time."

CEO Office 

Justin, Felicity, Laurel, Lance and Jessica walked into the office where Oliver/Arrow, Jill/Sapphire, Skylar/Athena, Amy/Ruby, Sara/Canary, Aurora/Glacia, Logan/Guardian, Kira/Viper, Karma/Cobra, Nyssa and Raven were waiting.

Jessica looked at Aurora and Logan. "Who the hell is this?"

"All you need to know is that we're here to help," Aurora told them.

Lance gestured to Nyssa and Raven. "And the two women in the Halloween costumes who aren't afraid to show their faces?"

"The League doesn't free normal men," Nyssa told them.

Lance looked at Sara. "The League? As in..."

Sara nodded. "Yeah."

"I'm Nyssa Al Ghul," Nyssa told him. Karma was mocking her words as she spoke. "Heir to the Demon."

Lance looked at Raven.

"Raven Evangeline," Raven told him.

Jessica looked at Kira and Karma. "Wait, I know you two. You're the twins that abandoned the Triad to help the vigilantes last year. Helped us save a lot of people in this city."

"And it looks like we're helping you save it again this year," Karma told them.

"Nice to see you again, Detectives," Kira told them.

"I guess today I can work with anybody to save my city," Lance told them.

"Oh, we have a new, big problem," Felicity told them. "Which, considering our other ones, is really saying something. I hacked a satellite and tasked it for thermographic imaging. All of Slades men are gathering at the Giordano tunnel."

"I thought these guys were trying to destroy the city, not escape it," Jessica told them.

"ARGUS is going to level the city to stop them from getting out," Karma told them. "That's what Slade's been planning on. He knows Waller's tactics."

"Fortunately, with Slade's men attempting to leave via the tunnel, all our targets will be grouped in a single place," Raven told them.

"We need to take it," Nyssa told them. "We'll gather our men."

Nyssa and Raven walked out, leaving.

Lance looked at Oliver and Jill. "Look, I know you said you were trying another way, and I respect that. But Slade Wilson? His men? They're monsters. And monsters, they need to be destroyed. You've killed before. Tonight, I suggest you get back in the habit."

Laurel, Lance and Jessica walked out, leaving.

Amy looked at Jill. "You know it's what you might have to do when it comes from the mouth of a cop."

"Not tonight, Amy," Jill told her. 

Oliver, Jill, Sara and Amy walked out, leaving with Felicity, Kira and Karma.

Skylar was hesitating.

Justin looked at her in concern. "He's wrong."

Skylar shook her head. "He's right. I've lost everything because I'm fighting Slade Wilson with one hand tied behind my back. The man murdered my mother. I have to kill him."

"You have a choice," Justin told her. "Five years ago, Oliver could have cured Slade, but he chose to kill him instead. This isn't happening because your family's not willing to be killers. It's happening because they were."

"You're right," Skylar told him. "That's how this started. It's how it has to end. Oliver couldn't finish the job, so I have to. The only move that he has left for me is to kill him. We can't cure him, we can't capture him, we can't even outthink him."

"Then don't," Justin told her. "Don't. Just make him outthink you."

Skylar looked at him in confusion.

Roy's House - Living Room 

Roy was already here, watching the news.

Woman: (on TV) "Residents are being urged to stay in their homes amidst unconfirmed rumors that Mayor Blood is among the casualties as masked men terrorize the city."

Thea walked in, closing the door behind her.

Roy turned the TV off, turning to face her. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I..." He took a step closer. Thea instinctively took a step back. "No, it's okay. I know--I know that I haven't exactly been myself for the past few months. I was injected with..."

"With some drug," Thea finished. "I know."

"Did Skylar tell you?" Roy asked.

"No, Sin," Thea answered. "Sky didn't want me to know because she was trying to protect me. Which is the only reason I can think of that you didn't tell me. But are you okay now?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Roy answered. "I woke up here. I lost a lot of time, but..."

"And what about the vigilantes?" Thea asked. "Sapphire said she was going to take care of you."

Roy shook his head. "I don't know anything about the vigilantes. I'm done with all of that, but I..." He stepped closer to Thea. "You're the only person that I've ever cared about." Thea instantly stepped closer to embrace him for a long moment. They pulled away. "Are you okay? Did something happen to you?"

"It doesn't matter," Thea told him. "Look, let's just--let's just get out of here. Let's start over. We can be whoever we want to without anyone getting in our way."

"I'm never losing you again," Roy told her. They kissed slowly and sweetly for a moment, pulling away when Roy's phone started to buzz. He looked at the text from Felicity 'We need you.' "Yeah, there's just--there's just one thing I need to take care of before we go, okay?" They sat down. "So just stay here and get some stuff packed, and I'll be right back."

"No, Roy, it's dangerous," Thea told him.

"I know," Roy told her. "But I have to do this. I wouldn't feel right if I left without trying. Do you trust me?"

Thea nodded. "Yes."

"Then when I get back, we're getting out of here forever," Roy told her. "I love you."

They kissed shortly and sweetly, pulling away.

Roy stood, walking out, leaving.

Queen Mansion - Foyer 

Skylar was here to get something, walking downstairs.

Justin was waiting for her. "Skylar. What are you doing here? The whole city's falling apart."

"I know," Skylar told him. "I had to get something." She showed him a necklace. "It's my mother's. It was my mother's. I had to get it, to get her out of my head."

"Out of your head?" Justin repeated.

Skylar sighed, looking at him. "I've been seeing her, Justin. I've been seeing her everywhere. Pushing me to fight, to kill."

"Sky, that's not your mother," Justin told her. "That's the Mirakuru messing with your head."

"I know," Skylar told him. "I know, Just. I can't... I can't think clearly. If Raven wouldn't have killed Isabel, I would have, if Ollie hadn't stopped me. I am spiraling out of control, and you can't trust me right now."

"All we need is to cure you, and then you'll be okay," Justin told her. He took out an injection arrow, holding it in front of them. "Just take the cure, Skylar."

Skylar grabbed his hands to stop him from using the cure on her. "No. I am not taking the cure until I can kill him, Slade, myself. That's what my mom wants me to do."

"That's what the Mirakuru wants you to do," Justin corrected. "That's not your mother, Sky."

"It might as well be," Skylar told him. "Justin... I'm not safe right now. I am going to take out everything that I feel on the soldiers in the Giordano tunnels, and I know that you're gonna be there with us to help us take them down, and then I am going after Slade. And until I am cured, you are not safe around me. No one is safe around me. I need you to be safe, and that means that you can't be around me."

"Well, I don't want to be safe if it means that I have to stay away from you," Justin told her. "I want to be with you. And you need someone to help you keep control, because you are so close to losing it."

Skylar scoffed, turning away to punch the wall, making it break, making Justin jump, turning to face him. "I've already lost control, Justin! Anyone who gets in my way is going to end up hurt or dead, and I don't want that to be you."

"I can't let that happen," Justin told her. "Skylar, you're not making any sense, and you need someone to ground you to control."

"And the only person keeping me tied to control right now is you, but I'm losing it anyway," Skylar told him. "I love you. Which means that I can't let you get hurt because of Slade, because of these soldiers, because of me. Do you understand?"

"Yes," Justin answered. "And you understand that I can't let anything like that happen to you, because the same reasons that you can't let that happen to me." He stepped closer until he was in front of Skylar, looking at her for a moment, kissing her slowly and passionately, slowly bringing her back to herself, pulling away. "Because I love you."

Skylar sighed painfully. "Until this is all over... just stay away from me."

Skylar walked out, leaving.

Justin was left in silence, looking at the cure in his hands, stunned. He turned to leave the house to go to battle.

ARGUS Facility - Outside 

John and Lyla were sneaking up to the building.

Lyla turned to face him. "Johnny."

"Yeah?" John asked.

Lyla sighed. "Never mind."

"Hey, Lyla," John told her. "I love you. You know that, right?"

"I do, actually," Lyla answered. "But it's good to hear it."

Lyla used her key card to get inside, leading John in.

Amanda was speaking to the woman controlling the drone. "Time to impact?"

"Drone is 52 minutes out from target," the woman answered.

"Get me Sergeant Gomez at the Giordano tunnel," Amanda told her.

"Easy company's not responding, ma'am," the woman told her.

Amanda walked closer. "I need a visual."

"They're in a tunnel," the woman told her. "I can't get a picture."

"What the hell is going on in that tunnel?" Amanda asked. In the tunnel, ARGUS men were laying dead on the ground. "Sergeant Gomez, come in. Sergeant Gomez?"

Giordano Tunnel 

The tunnel was full of Mirakuru men.

Raven, Kira/Viper, Aurora/Glacia, Logan/Guardian, Roy (wearing his hoodie an mask), Oliver/Arrow, Jill/Sapphire, Skylar/Athena, Justin, Amy/Ruby, Sara/Canary, Karma/Cobra, Nyssa, and the men from the League were walking toward the men.

"No kill shots," Jill told them.

"Let the cure do its work," Aurora told them.

The men turned toward them, running toward the group.

"Ready?" Logan asked.

Kira and Karma spoke together, in sync. "Ready."

"Ready, fire!" Oliver told them.

Raven, Roy, Oliver, Skylar, Nyssa and the men from the League each raised their bows and arrows, firing the injection arrows into the Mirakuru men. The ones that were hit fell to the ground.

Kira hit Man 1 in the stomach with her staff, spinning to stab him with an injection arrow, making him fall.

Man 2 tried to punch Aurora. Aurora ducked, shooting ice against his chest, stabbing him in the arm with an injection arrow.

Man 3 jumped toward Logan. Logan caught him by his throat, slamming him down onto the car nearby, stabbing him in the leg with an injection arrow.

Man 4 climbed over the car behind Logan, trying to jump onto her from behind. Amy jumped up onto the car, flipping over it to kick him in the head. Man 3 tried to punch her. Amy ducked, stabbing an injection arrow into his shoulder. The cure made him fall off the car to the ground. Amy smirked.

Karma threw an injection arrow like a knife into the shoulder of Man 5, making him fall onto the hood of another car.

ARGUS Facility - Cell Block 

A guard was standing between the cells of the Suicide Squad.

Lyla and John walked in.

The guard looked at Lyla. "Agent Michaels, this area's restricted to all unauthorized--"

John grabbed the guard in a chokehold from behind, until he passed out, laying him on the floor, taking out his keys, unlocking Floyd's cell, tossing the keys to Amanda.

Floyd walked out of his cell in a yellow jumpsuit. "What the hell is this? Early parole?"

John took out a gun. "Waller's looking to bomb Starling City." Lyla let a man out of his cell, walking toward another. "We need your help to stop her."

"As much as I'd love to show the wall what we think of her, there's just that little matter of tick, tick, boom," Floyd told them. "Okay? We've got all that miniature bombs in our spines."

"You have to trust me," Lyla told them, handing out weapons to the two men that she had let out of their cells, handing a gun to Floyd. "And trust Kira and Karma, as they are the ones that are battling in Starling City with other vigilantes and heroes, the ones that told us to do this. You might not trust me or John, but I know you trust the twins."

Floyd nodded, taking the gun from Lyla. 

"And Lawton, no dropping bodies," John told him.

"Yeah, sure, take the fun out of it," Floyd told them.

John walked away.

Logan kicked Man 18 in the stomach, punching him in the face, lifting him up, slamming him to the ground, injecting him with an arrow.

Karma spun to kick Man 19 in the shoulder, making him back away, slashing her blades against his to distract him so she could stab him in the leg with an injection arrow.

Oliver stood, pushing Man 2 toward the hole in the freighter, allowing the current to take him away.

Sara stood, pulling Oliver and Jill away from Slade.

Man 3 tried to shoot them.

Oliver looked at Sara and Jill. "Get off the ship!"

"Not without you!" Sara told him.

Slade stood.

Jill grabbed the Mirakuru from the watery floor, getting soaked in the process.

"Give it to me," Slade told her. "Give me the Mirakuru." Jill held up the Mirakuru, throwing it into the flames of the explosion, destroying it. "No!"

Slade punched Jill in the face twice, kicking her into a cell door, making her fall.

Sara stood. "Jill!" Slade picked Sara up, throwing her toward the hole in the freighter. Sara reached her hand toward them desperately. "Ollie!"

The current dragged Sara out of the freighter, out into the ocean, leading them to believe that she was dead.

Jill was absolutely horrified. "Sara!"

Oliver hit the watery floor. "No!"

Floyd, Lyla and John walked in, aiming their guns at the people in the office.

"Down, now!" Floyd told them.

"Everybody get down, down, down!" John told them. Amanda drew two guns, aiming them at them. "Waller, call that drone off!"

"This is treason, Agent Michaels," Amanda told her. "Treason that risks hundreds of thousands of lives. Have you thought about that? Have you thought about how you're going to explain that to your son? Or is it your daughter? Did doctors specify, or did you want to keep it a surprise?" John looked at Lyla in confusion. Lyla looked down. "Congratulations, Mr. Diggle. You're going to be a father."

Giordano Tunnel 

Now, all of the men in the tunnel had been taken care of, all lying on the ground after being injected with the cure.

Oliver, Jill, Skylar, Roy, Amy, Sara, Kira, Karma, Aurora, Logan, Nyssa, Raven and the men from the League looked around at their handiwork.

Kira and Karma were standing on two cars, looking around the tunnel.

Oliver was standing at the end of the tunnel. He had a call via Bluetooth, answering. "Go."

Skylar and Jill could hear the call through their Bluetooths.

Slade's voice was on the other line. "You've been busy, kid."

"It's over, Slade," Jill told him. "Your army is broken."

Slade was in a warehouse. "And I pity them. But once again, you miss the point."

"I'm done playing your games," Oliver told him. 

"We all are," Skylar told him.

"You're done when I say you're done," Slade told them. "Oliver, Jill, I have one of your closest friends. The one that Skylar loves. The one tethering her to her remaining control." Oliver, Jill and Skylar looked around the tunnel to see that Justin was missing. "You're going to meet me where I say. Otherwise, I'm going to kill him."

Slade drew his sword, turning around to face Justin.

Justin was on the floor, restrained by two Mirakuru men that had him pinned on his knees. He struggled against them, glaring at Slade.

Warehouse 

Oliver, Jill and Skylar walked through the warehouse.

Slade had his sword to Justin's throat while the men restrained him. "Twitch, and I open your throat. My first words to you, Jill. Do you remember? I do. I remember the exact moment." Oliver, Jill and Skylar were following the sound of his voice. Slade pressed his blade further against Justin's throat. "My blade against your neck. If only I'd killed you then, everything would be different." Oliver, Jill and Skylar walked around the corner. Oliver and Skylar were aiming their bows at Slade. Jill reached behind her to draw her swords, but was promptly restrained by two Mirakuru men. "Drop the bows, kids." Oliver and Skylar stepped closer. The men tightened their hold on Justin and Jill to the point of threatening to break their bones. Slade tilted Justin's head back, the blade against his trachea. "Do it." Oliver and Skylar slowly lowered the bows to the floor, along with the arrows. "Yes. Now I have the beloveds of both you Queens. Countless nights dreaming of taking from you all that you took from me, Oliver. Dreaming of making your sister lose complete control the way that you made me."

"By killing the woman I love, and the and the man Skylar does?" Oliver asked.

"Yes," Slade answered.

"Like you love Shado," Oliver told him.

"Yes," Slade answered.

"You see her," Skylar told him. "Don't you? Like I see my mother." Slade didn't answer. "Well, what does Shado look like in your madness, Slade? What does she say to you?"

Slade took his sword away from Justin's throat, backing away.

"I remember her being beautiful," Oliver told him. "Young. Kind. She would be horrified by what you've done in her name."

"What I have done?" Slade repeated. "What I have done is what you lack the courage to do. To fight for her. So... when Jill and Justin's bodies lie at your feet, their blood wet against your skin... then you will know how I feel!"

"I already know how you feel," Skylar told him. "I know what it's like to hate. To want revenge."

"And now I know how it feels to see my enemy so distracted, he doesn't realize the real danger right in front of him," Jill told him.

Justin slowly drew an injection arrow from his sleeve.

Skylar drew two injection arrows, throwing them into the arms of the men restraining Justin, making them fall. Justin instantly turned to stab Slade in the shoulder with the injection arrow.

Oliver quickly picked up his bow, shooting the two men restraining Jill with the cures, making them let her go and fall. Jill turned to punch them both in the face twice, kicking them in the chests, making them fall.

Pipes from the ceiling of the flooded freighter fell onto Slade, making him fall to the ground, pinning him down.

Oliver picked up the cure in one hand, and an arrow in the other, standing, turning to Slade.

Jill looked up from the floor weakly.

"What are you going to do?" Slade asked. "Stick me with the cure?" Oliver walked closer, glaring at him. "It doesn't matter. I'll keep my promise! I'll take away everything and everyone you love. Sara was only the first. She was only the first!"

Oliver dropped the syringe with the cure, stabbing Slade in the eye with the arrow.

Jill looked on in shock.

Slade's head fell back into the water with the arrow in his eye.

Slade ducked, trying to slash into her with both of the swords in a blur of motion. Jill used both of her swords to block the moves just as fast, creating many clashing sounds that echoed throughout the alley.

Oliver tried to punch Slade from behind. Slade ducked, punching him in the face trying to slash into him with a sword. Oliver raised his bow to block the blow, spinning to hit him in the back with the bow.

Skylar walked closer in fury, grabbing Slade from behind, punching into his back, breaking bones, but not enough to paralyze or kill him, throwing him to the ground, standing above him, punching him in the face repeatedly and viciously, making him bleed and spit blood. 

Oliver and Jill walked closer to try and calm Skylar down.

"You can kill me, or not," Slade told them. "Either way, I win."

Justin walked closer. "Skylar, enough."

Skylar stopped beating Slade, breathing heavily, trying to calm down. She looked away to see a hallucination of Moira.

ARGUS Facility - Office 

Amanda was typing a few things on the computer.

Lyla and Amanda were aiming guns at each other.

John aimed his gun at Amanda.

Kira called via Bluetooth. "Amanda, it's over. Slade's down, his army's been taken out. Call back the drones." 

Amanda aimed another gun at John. 

Kira and Karma were in the tunnel with the others. 

"Amanda, it's over!" Karma told her.

Amanda lowered her guns to the table, using the computer to call back the drones and save Starling City.

Warehouse - Outside 

Oliver, Jill, Skylar and Justin stood over Slade, breathing heavily, all trying to calm down.

"So what now, kids?" Slade asked.

Skylar punched Slade in the face furiously, hard enough to knock him out, looking as if she was about to go for the kill.

Justin stopped her. "Skylar! You told me that you wanted to prove to him that you're not like him. You have the chance to prove that now."

"Sky, it's over," Oliver told her. "You can take the cure, and this will finally be behind us. You don't have to become Slade to stop him. We beat him, Skylar. This is over."

Jill took out the last injection arrow, holding it toward Skylar. "Finish this, Sky. Don't let Slade destroy you anymore than he already has."

Skylar slowly took the injection arrow from Jill with a shaky hand, breathing heavily, closing her eyes, stabbing herself in the stomach with the arrow to inject herself with the cure. She started to fall as the cure took affect. Justin caught Skylar as she fell, holding her standing.

They all looked at each other, knowing that it was finally over, breathing heavily, sighing in relief.

Pier 

Sara walked toward Laurel, Jessica and Lance, who were all in normal clothes, getting ready to leave. "It's time."

"Do you really have to go back?" Jessica asked.

"Yeah, I do," Sara answered. "No one's making me do this, okay? I'm going back to honor our deal."

"What am I going to tell your mother?" Lance asked.

"Tell her that for the first time in my life, I'm making my own decisions," Sara answered. 

Lance and Sara embraced, pulling away.

"I love you, sweetheart," Lance told her.

"I love you, too, Dad," Sara told him.

Lance walked away to give Sara, Laurel and Jessica a chance to say goodbye.

"So, where you're going, will you be able to email or call?" Jessica asked.

"I'll be back," Sara told them.

"We know," Laurel told her. "You always find your way home."

"I love you," Sara told them.

"We love you," Jessica told her.

Sara, Laurel and Jessica embraced tightly, pulling away.

Sara pulled off her jacket. "And, hey... I think that this would look good on you."

"Black's not really my color," Jessica told them.

Laurel smiled. "It is mine." Jessica and Sara helped Laurel get into the leather jacket. Lance watched them, shaking his head in amusement. "It fits."

The sisters smiled and hugged one last time, pulling away.

"Bye, guys," Sara told them, walking away.

Lance, Jessica and Laurel embraced, watching Sara leave.

Lance looked at Jessica and Laurel. "About that jacket and all the masks running around, don't get any ideas."

Jessica and Laurel laughed.

They walked away together.

"I could really use a meeting," Laurel told them.

"Yeah, probably a good idea for all of us," Lance told them. "Listen, I got to pick up a little Pepto on the way, though, 'cause I'm feeling kind of weird."

"Dad, she'll be okay," Jessica told him.

"Yeah, I know she'll be okay, but okay at what is what bothers me," Lance told them, starting to groan in pain.

"Dad?" Jessica asked worriedly. Lance fell to his knees. "Dad!" Lance started to cough up blood. "Oh, my God. Dad!"

Lance fell to the ground.

Laurel and Jessica knelt next to him worriedly, frantically in horror.

"Dad?" Laurel asked. "Oh, my God!"

"I can't breathe," Lance told them. "I can't..."

Laurel and Jessica unbuttoned his shirt to see a nasty, brutal bruise from when the Mirakuru man had slammed Lance in the chest and slammed him into the desk earlier that night.

"Dad, stay with us," Jessica told him. "Daddy."

"Daddy, stay with us!" Laurel told him.

Jessica made a call. "Hello? I need an ambulance. I'm Detective Jessica Lance, with SCPD. Yes, now!"

"Daddy, stay with me," Laurel told him.

Jessica and Laurel looked at each other worriedly in horror.

Day Two

Morning - Roy's House - Living Room 

It was sunrise by the time that Roy got home.

Roy looked around. "Thea. Thea?"

➣

Bedroom 

Roy walked in to see everything on his bed, along with a letter. He picked up the letter, sitting down on the bed to read.

Thea: (voice over) "Roy... I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I thought I could still be with you. I thought I could still be Thea Queen. But Thea Queen was trusting."

➣

Tracks 

Thea was walking by the tracks toward a limo, looking absolutely expressionless.

Thea: (voice over) "And I don't trust you. Or anyone. Not anymore. Thea Queen was also weak."

The limo driver opened the back of the limo for Thea.

Thea: (voice over) "And no matter what it takes, I will be strong."

➣

Limo 

Thea got into the back of the limo, crossing her legs, looking expressionless.

Thea: (voice over) "Don't try to find me. You won't. Even I don't know where I'm going."

Malcolm was sitting in front of Thea, smirking.

Thea: (voice over) "I only know one thing."

➣

Roy's House - Bedroom 

Roy was sitting on the bed, reading the letter.

Thea: (voice over) "I am never coming back."

Roy started to cry in guilt and regret, taking his mask out of his hoodie pocket.

Lian Yu - ARGUS Prison

Slade was in the prison cell underground, unconscious on the cot. He woke up, sitting up, looking around, finding Oliver and Jill on the other side of the bars. "Where am I?"

"As far away from the world as we could get you," Jill answered. "Where you can't hurt anyone ever again."

Slade stood. "That's your weakness, Jill. You don't have the guts to kill me. Or anyone, for that matter."

"No," Jill told him. "I have the strength to let people like you live."

"You may not be a killer, but the man you love is," Slade told her. "I know. I created both of you." He looked at Oliver. "You've killed plenty."

"Yes, I have," Oliver agreed. "You helped turn me into a killer when I needed to be one. We're alive today because of you. We made it off the island because of you. And I got to see my family again. Jill got to see her sister. But over the past year, I've needed to be more... and I faltered. But then we stopped you. Without killing."

Jill stood. "You helped us become heroes, Slade. Thank you."

Oliver stood, walking out of the door.

Slade slammed against the bars to sneer in Jill's face. "You think I won't get out of here?" Jill looked at the ARGUS logo on the door. "You think I won't kill those you care for?"

"No, I don't," Jill answered. "Because you're in purgatory."

Jill walked out, leaving, closing the door behind her.

Slade called after them. "I keep my promises. I keep my promises!" Jill climbed up the ladder on the wall. "I keep my promises."

Jill climbed out through the hatch in the ceiling.

Oliver helped her above ground.

➣

Beach 

Jill and Oliver were on the island by the ocean.

Justin, Skylar, John and Felicity were talking on the beach.

"Last time I didn't notice," Felicity told them. "It's actually kind of beautiful here. Don't get me wrong. I'm counting down the seconds until we shove off Minefield Island."

Oliver walked toward them.

"So, you think that'll be enough to hold him?" John asked. "ARGUS's Super Max?"

"Him, and anyone else we send here," Oliver answered. "This battle may be over, but there will be others." He looked at Skylar. "Starting with getting our family's company back."

"That's not going to be easy, since we're poor now," Skylar told him. "You're going to have to get a job. If Slade doesn't scare you, that's got to."

Justin smiled.

"Do you know anyone hiring ex-billionaires with superior archery skills?" Oliver asked.

John shook his head. "Other than those guys over there? Nope."

They followed his gaze toward where Nyssa, Raven, Amy and the men that helped with the battle the night before were getting ready to leave in a freighter a lot better and nicer than Ivo's.

Jill walked toward them.

Amy saw her coming closer, walking toward her. "It's time."

Jill didn't want to say goodbye. "Why--why are they making you do this?" She looked toward Nyssa and Raven. "Why are you making her do this, huh?" Nyssa and Raven looked at her. "Why?"

Nyssa and Raven smirked.

Amy smiled a small smile. "Jill, they're not making me do anything. I chose this. For the first time in my life, I'm deciding my own fate. You of all people understand that." Jill nodded sadly. Amy put a hand reassuringly on her arm. "I'll see you again. This isn't permanent."

"I know," Jill told her. "If there's anything I learned this year, other than the fact that we're related to the family of assassins that run the League of Assassins, it's that you always find your way back to me. And I'll always be here waiting." They smiled small smiles, embracing, holding the other sister close. "I love you, Amy."

"I love you, too, Jill," Amy told her.

They pulled away.

Raven and Nyssa walked closer.

Raven looked at Jill. "I know the power of a sister's love. No one in the League will let anything happen to Amy."

"Or as my father and I call her, by her birthname, Annalisa," Nyssa told them.

"Let's just stick with Amy, okay?" Jill asked. Amy smiled a small smile. "And hey. Just because I said that if you wanted me to have anything to do with the League if you played by my rules last night does not mean that I want anything to do with it. Don't expect me to come knocking on your door."

Nyssa smirked knowingly. "I'll see you around, cousin."

Raven and Nyssa walked away toward the freighter, getting inside.

Amy waved to Justin, Skylar, Oliver, Felicity and John several feet behind Jill.

Jill turned to follow her gaze.

Justin, Skylar, Oliver, Felicity and John waved goodbye for now.

Amy kissed Jill on the cheek, backing away toward the freighter, turning around, walking toward it. She gave them one last look and smile, getting inside.

The freighter started to set sail.

Jill watched them go, sighing worriedly, troubled.

Oliver walked closer. "Well, we did it."

Jill nodded. "Yeah. We should send Aurora and Logan a thank you note."

Oliver chuckled. "Yeah." 

Jill and Oliver looked at each other, smiling small smiles, starting to kiss sweetly but passionately.

They saw the freighter sailing away.

Justin and Skylar were walking away from John and Felicity to have a moment to speak for themselves.

Justin looked at Skylar. "Are you going to be okay?"

"I appreciate your concern, Justin, but I'm fine," Skylar told him.

Justin looked at her sadly. "I know that you will be. I just want you to know that I'll be here for the times that you're not."

Skylar nodded. "I know that. You always are. I'm just glad you're okay."

"You, too," Justin told her. "You're cured from the Mirakuru, but if you ever need anything, you know that I'll be right by your side." Skylar nodded in agreement, managing a small smile in appreciation. They looked at each other for a moment, leaning closer to kiss slowly and sweetly, pulling away after a moment. Justin opened his eyes to meet her gaze, taking her hand in his. "Let's go home."

Skylar nodded.

Oliver and Jill; and Skylar and Justin walked toward John and Felicity nearby the plane they had flown in.

"Dig, what was the news about you and Lyla?" Felicity asked.

"It can wait," John told them.

"I'm flying," Jill told them.

"Be my guest," Oliver told her.

"I got one more question," Felicity told them.

They stopped walking, turning to each other.

"You wouldn't be you if you didn't," Justin told her.

Felicity looked at Jill in confusion. "If you spent six years on this island, when did you learn how to fly a plane?"

Jill sighed.

Flashback

Hong Kong, China

Day - Hotel Room 

Jill was in a shady hotel room, lying in a bed, still healing after the freighter incident. She gasped herself awake, looking around, completely stunned to find that she wasn't on the island, the freighter, or in the ocean. She looked as if she was wondering if she was dreaming. She stood.

Two men walked inside.

Man 1 tossed Jill some new clothes. "Gun ngo lei."

Man 1 showed Jill the gun in his jacket.

Jill looked at them nervously.

➣

Outside 

The men brought Jill outside after she changed to meet Amanda Waller.

"My name is Amanda Waller, Miss Wright," Amanda told her. "We have a lot to discuss." The man behind Amanda opened the car door for Jill. Jill hesitantly walked closer, getting into the car. "Welcome to Hong Kong."

Jill looked out of the window to the city in shock, wondering how she got there and why she was brought, and what they wanted her for.
