Barry and i scan the perimeter to see that the coast is clear. We stop on the other side of the building to see ten passed out drunks. I look at Barry, who looks like he is up to something. "Barry..."

Barry super speeds up to them and zip ties all of them. I turn around to see a very unpleased Oliver. Barry walks up to Oliver, "We had eight seconds to kill. Was that wrong?"Oliver and I roll our eyes and walk past him, "What?"

This isn't Central City, Barry!

Oliver kicks the door open, Markos tries to run off, but Barry and I super speed in front of him. Barry smirks, "My friend wants to have a conversation with you."

Barry and I shove Markos up against a wall as Oliver talks in his other voice, "You made this for Digger Harkness. I want to know where he is."

"Go to hell," Markos snaps. Oliver shoots an arrow into his shoulder and Markos screams in pain, "AHH!!"

Barry steps back in shock, but I stay put. Oliver starts walking towards him and grabsthe arrow in Markos' shoulder, "The only thing that hurts worse than an arrow going in is an arrow coming out."

"What are you doing?" Barry asks as Oliver keeps his hands wrapped around the arrow.

"Getting the information," Oliver answers.

"Where is he?" I yell.

"I don't know!" The man screams.

"He says he doesn't know!" Barry states trying to get Oliver to stop.

"He's lying," Oliver says as I watch with enjoyment.

I shove Oliver out the way and I push the arrow into his shoulder watching him scream, "If you want to be able to raise your arm again, tell me where he is!"

"Bolt!" Oliver yells trying to push me off, but I stay where I am.

Markos lifts up a phone, "Here. Harkness gave it to me. It's encrypted. I had an order ready for him. I called, he came. I don't know where he is, I swear."

Oliver takes it, "Stand down."

I'm about to let go, but all I can see is the Count and how he murdered my mother. Before I know it, I push the arrow deeper, not caring if he can't move his arm again. Markos screams in pain, Oliver and Barry yell for me to stop, but I don't. Anger just keeps rising and rising. I'm about to rip the arrow out, but I feel two hands on both of my biceps and pulls me away from him.

"What are you doing?" Oliver yells, but I super speed back into the hideout.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I got him," Felicity says after trying to get through the encryption. "He's in a warehouse at the corner of Infantino and Adams."

I get up and try to put on my mask, but a hand stops me. I look up to see Oliver with a cold face, "You're staying here."

"What?" I ask in disbelief. "No."

"You almost murdered Markos if I hadn't stopped you."

"So I had one misstep, I'm fine," I snap.

"No you are not fine," Barry buts in.

"What makes you think differently?" I ask with my arms crossed.

"I think, because of what happened last time you were in Starling. Your emotions clouded your judgment," Oliver explains.

"Riley..." Roy trails off. "Just listen to Oliver. What happened to you out there, was murderous."

"I am going out there," I state trying to go past Oliver, Barry, and Roy, but I can't. "Move."

"We can't let you go out there," Oliver says with sadness in his eyes.

"I am going--"

"One more step and I tell Barry what happened in Starling before you moved," Oliver threatens. "And I mean it."

My eyes widen, he wouldn't.

I sigh as tears form in my eyes, "Fine. But do this again, and I kick your asses."

They all nod as they exit the building. How could they do this to me?

~~~~~~~~~

"This is so boring!" I complain as I lean on the punching bag. "I should be out there fighting."

"I know you feel isolated right now, Riley, so do I," Lyla explains. "But they're doing this for your own good. Coming here, brought back a lot of memories for you."

All of a sudden, the encrypted phone starts ringing. "I swore I turned that off," Felicity states as she grabs the phone.

"What?" Catlin asks.

"Markos' phone," Felicity explains. "I shut it down after I decrypted it."

"Can someone turn it back on remotely?" I ask as I walk towards them and look at the phone.

"And back-trace the trace?" Felicity asks. Felicity's eyes widen, "We have to get out of here now!"

A boomerang comes flying in and hits the desk as Caitlin gasps. Oh, no. He's here. Felicity and Caitlin run another way, as Lyla and I stand straight as Harkness walks in, "Hello Lyla. It's been a long time."

I grab Lyla's arm and we go behind a desk as Harkness throws more boomerangs. "Guns!" Lyla and I yells.

"Cabinet, third drawer!" Felicity yells back as Lyla opens the drawer and hands me a gun.

I start shooting at Harkness, but I miss. "You know what I like most about boomerangs ,Lyla?" Harkness asks between gunshots. "They're proof that things can come back to haunt you." Harkness starts throwing boomerangs our way, luckily we're dodging them. "You had a bomb for the back of my head."

"Lyla, get down!" Felicity yells as boomerangs are headed right towards her. I use my super speed to stand in front of her. Pain spreads all across my stomach as I collapse on the floor. "No!" Felicity yells as something explodes. I try gasping for air as Felicity yells, Caitlin! Caitlin!"

"Stop the bleeding," Caitlin orders. "Because the boomerang is still in her, her super healing can't heal it. I need lidocaine."

"We have epinephrine," Felicity says between sobs.

"That will work," Caitlin states.

"Riley," Lyla says as she cups my right cheek, "it's going to be okay. Just stay with us."

I feel something being injected into me and Caitlin says, "Riley, you're gonna be okay. Try and keep her awake. Can you hear me, Riley?"

I can't find the strength to say yes. Felicity whimpers, "Oh, my god. Oh, my god." Then everything goes black.
