At Queen Consolidated...
The Deathstroke soldier patrolled the halls, in no particular state of order. The elevator dinged, and when he turned, a fellow soldier lay unconscious in the elevator, an arrow in his back. Suddenly, the Canary, Sara Lance landed, and with a few deft strikes and blows, took him down and injected him with the arrow full of the Mirakuru cure.
'Elevator room clear,' Sara said into her mic.
On mine and Oliver's end, we finished taking down three Deathstroke men.
'Conference room's clear,' Oliver said into his mic. We exited the conference room and continued on our mission. That is, until we ran up against a whole squad of Deathstrokes, including Isabel and Slade.
'You must have quite a bit of faith in this cure if you've come alone,' Deathstroke said to us.
'We didn't come alone,' I retorted, just as the windows smashed open and Nyssa, along with several members of her assassin team, flew in to help, firing arrows left and right, sending Deathstroke members to the ground. In the middle of the fight, we ended up getting Isabel's mask off and Slade escaped through one of the broken windows. Sara lifted her weapon up high to end Isabel's life.
'Sara, don't!' Oliver yelled. She stepped back, lowering her weapon. Isabel turned to Oliver, on her knees now.
'Kill me. Don't kill me. It doesn't matter. I beat you. I took away the one -' And with that, Nyssa snapped her neck, causing Isabel Rochev to fall to the ground. All of us turned our weapons on the League members, including Nyssa.
'Your reticence to do what is necessary is why your city burns,' Nyssa said coolly, walking away with the members of the League. Oliver and I came up to Sara.
'This isn't working,' Oliver said. 'I can't get close enough to Slade to hit him with the cure.'
'So what do we do?' I asked.
Quentin Lance and Felicity Smoak walked into the Queen Consolidated building, the latter holding some kind of tablet.
'Why's Wilson got such a mad-on for the Queens?' Quentin asked as they made their way into the office portion of the building.
'I don't know. Good thing Thea, Oliver and Evelyn got out of town in time,' she said.
'So they have to go after my family?' Quentin asked as they entered the main office room. Nyssa al Ghul, Sara Lance, the Arrow and myself were all there in the room. Only Quentin didn't know who we were. Hence the lie that we skipped town before Slade could find us. 'What's she doing here?' Quentin hissed, gesturing to Nyssa.
'She's here to help,' Sara said, getting between the dark-haired assassin and the police officer. 'Just trust me, please.' He sighed in exasperation.
'I guess today I'll have to work with anybody who can help get my daughter back.'
'What?' Sara asked, her voice breathy.
'One of these masked guys, they took Laurel. I - I couldn't stop them. Believe me, I tried.'
'Oh, we have a new, big problem,' Felicity spoke, bringing all of our attention to her. 'Which, considering our other ones, is really saying something.' She moved her fingers over the tablet she was holding. 'I hacked a satellite and tasked it for thermographic imaging - all of Slade's men are gathering at the Giordano Tunnel.'
