Laurel now knows that Oliver and I are the Arrow and Athena.
We now have the cure for the Mirakuru, thanks to Barry Allen's friends in STAR Labs.
Oliver returned, thankfully without me getting too stabby on him.
And now we're in the fight of our lives against Slade and his Mirakuru-empowered army.
In an abandoned building...
The wind came through the shattered window softly. Roy laid on a pile of blankets. We'd administered the cure for the Mirakuru, but we weren't entirely sure it was working.
'Oliver, man, you okay?' Diggle asked. Oliver turned. Felicity was near Roy, doing something or rather, we weren't sure.
'The cure's not working,' Oliver said, gazing down at Roy's unconscious body.
'We don't know that,' Felicity replied. 'He still has a lot of Tibetan pit viper venom in his system.' Just then an alarm sounded and Felicity ran over to it.
'What's that?' I asked.
'Proximity alarm. I rigged the tower with sensors just in case Slade's goons came here to kill us.' She picked up a tablet and her face grew more progressively worried.
'Are you just going to tell us what's on the tablet, or...' I asked, trailing off. She looked up.
'Slade's goons are here to kill us.'
'Talk to me, Felicity,' Oliver said.
'They're inside; they're right underneath us.' Roy groaned and woke up suddenly. We all turned to face him.
'Where am I?' Roy asked uncertainly. Just then the head of a Deathstroke member popped up through a grate in the floor. Roy punched the man, but he recoiled in pain.
'They're inside, there's too many of them!' Felicity shrieked in panic. I threw a dagger, and it sunk into a Deathstroke's shoulder, making him cry out in pain and fall below the grate. Oliver shot an arrow with a long, secure line to the ground.
'Felicity!' he exclaimed. 'Down the cable!' Roy ran to the window and jumped, then Diggle, then Felicity. Oliver and I were the only ones left to fight off the Deathstroke men. Soon enough, we'd taken down plenty enough that Felicity was standing on the windowsill, too terrified to move, and Oliver grabbed her and swung down with her in his arms, and I jumped onto the line, heading down by myself to the ground. We looked up from the vehicle behind us to see the Deathstroke members leaning out of the window, right before a blast from a rocket launcher inside an ARGUS helicopter fired into the building, killing all of them - hopefully.
It wasn't unlike the night of the Undertaking. But instead of a massive earthquake, an army of literal jacked-up super soldiers roamed the streets, smashing windows and hurting people. Except we were now preoccupied with our destroyed underground base. Oliver, Roy, Lyla Michaels (Diggle's girlfriend, an ARGUS agent), Diggle, Felicity and myself all picked our way through the ruins.
'Oh, my God,' Felicity gasped, flinching when sparks came from a wall nearby.
'What the hell happened?' Roy asked.
'Slade's army,' Diggle replied. 'You were right about this place being compromised.'
'Lyla, your boss is going to bomb the city at dawn,' I said, walking up next to Oliver, taking stock of the damage.
