Road to you - Part 5

FLASHBACK

Oliver and Diggle introduced Felicity Smoak, an employee of Queen Industries that had been helping them for a while after Walter Steele got kidnapped by Malcolm Merlyn, to Alex, J'onn, Kara and Winn and they were all at the bunker, trying to come up with the best way to stop all the evil Merlyn wanted to do.

- First I found out Oliver was the psycho vigilante... I mean the vigilante... He's not psycho anymore, thank God – Felicity mumbled, shaking Kara's hand – It's an honor to meet Supergirl now. – She smiled, making Kara smile.

- It's nice to meet you too – Kara said as Alex and Diggle stared at them in an weird way.

- What's happening? – Kara asked, feeling a bit confused

- It's just... There's two of you – Alex said

- This is so weird – Diggle commented while Winn nodded, but smiling

- Excuse me – Winn said – You're the Felicity who upgraded his entire system?

- Yes... They were a bit...archaic – She smiled, making Winn laugh.

- Thank you... I've been saying this, but no one listened.

- And there are two of you – Oliver said pointing at Winn and Felicity – Great. So, back to our plan... I'll take Merlyn and try to stop him. We need to find the device.

- I can fly around and use my x-ray vision; it will be faster to find it...

- We should also make sure there are no surprises. Lunatic villains love to surprise us in the most awful ways, I don't want to take any chances – Alex said.

- And now that I got the president's pardon, I can also use my powers to fly and help Supergirl – J'onn said.

- Alex and Diggle can help the SCPD in keeping everyone out of the Glades – Oliver finished, looking at everyone.

- I actually called DEO agents for help. We need as many agents on field as we can, to make sure no one stays behind. – Alex said and Oliver thanked her.

- And we will help you guys, being your eyes and ears – Winn said as he high-fived Felicity. – We got this!

- So... Let's go!

Kara and J'onn, fully on his Martian form, flew high in the sky, separated, being guided by Felicity and Winn, looking for the earthquake device as Alex and Diggle guided SCPD and the DEO agents to evacuate fast. Quentin Lance had Laurel on the phone, making sure she was away from CNR as he helped everyone. Thea and Roy were also in the Glades, without Oliver knowing, trying to help people.

Oliver went to the rooftop of Merlyn Global, after facing him downstairs and he was more than ready to end all of that for good, even if he had to kill again to protect his city.

- Are you ready to die? – Malcolm asked, in his full Dark Archer suit, with a black mask on his face.

Oliver didn't answer and just ran towards him as they resumed their fight. Malcolm was really skilled and moved really fast, disarming Oliver in a short time and moving quickly to try to choke Oliver from behind. Oliver tried to breathe; suffocating as Malcolm dragged him backwards, making him fall on his knee.

- Don't worry, your mother and sister will be joining you in death! – Malcolm said as Oliver tried to free himself.

He thought about his father on the island, everything that happened to him so far, everything he learned to be able to survive and how he went through literally hell to come home and do what his father told him too. He thought about his new friends and allies, and how they decided to join him on his fight and then, her image came to his mind. He thought about when he met Kara and all the times they helped each other, the night they finally got together and how he fell deeply in love with her.
