Frosty Arrow

Chapter 6

This is where the story starts to deviate from the Arrowverse.

"This is exactly why I didn't want you to go after Darhk alone." Lyla shouted at John as they attempted to stop the Ghosts from approaching the truck Lyla and Sara had been calling home lately.

"You can yell at me later, right now we can't let them take this truck." John said as he fired off another round.

"Fine, but this is not over." Lyla shouted as they both felt themselves get yanked up into the air.

"Yes it is." Darhk said as he approached Lyla.

"Don't you touch her." Dig snarled.

"Or what will you do Mr. Diggle. You've already shown how little you care about your family. I mean coming after my operatives with no real plan or backup, I thought Oliver would've taught you better than that." Darhk said tentatively as John struggled to break free.

"Leave him alone." Lyla said.

"You know, the sad thing is, I was actually considering letting you live through Genesis as a favor to your brother, since he's served me quite loyally over the years. But then I find out that you were one of the vigilantes conspiring against me, well, that's a deal breaker." Darhk said as he moved to drain the life out of John, but before he could, he winced in pain as an arrow pierced his lower back.

"Darhk, we have unfinished business." Green Arrow shouted as Darhk turned to face him and surprisingly, a new vigilante was standing next to him. She was wearing a black suit with elegant white patterns in the form of snow going down it, making it like a bit of snowy night on the suit and a snowflake insignia on her belt. Her hair was white and her eyes were silver.

"Who's your new friend Oliver?" Darhk asked.

"They call me Khione. Here's a clue why." Khione said as she ice blasted Darhk, who just barely managed to dodge.

"Huh, a metahuman, nice touch." Darhk said.

"Let's end this Darhk. Once and for all." Green Arrow said, since he'd let Darhk go twice before and he had no intention of letting it happen a third time.

"You really think you can beat me?" Darhk asked, amused.

"Let's find out." Green Arrow said as he fired a flash arrow to temporarily blind Darhk.

"Go help John and Lyla. Darhk's mine." Green Arrow said to Khione, who nodded before using a newer skill, using her powers to create a bit of an ice slide to move right past Darhk.

"Who is she?" Darhk demanded.

"Like I'd tell you." Green Arrow said as he shot at Darhk again.

"You know, after Laurel, I gave you time to mourn, I'm nice like that and I hate being nice." Darhk said as he used his magic to pull Green Arrow right into his hand where he started draining the life from him.

However, something unexpected happen. Or rather, two unexpected things happened. The first was Green Arrow's eyes glowed yellow as Darhk's magic lost its effect on him.

The second and more surprising thing was that before either of them could react, Darhk gasped in pain as an icicle shot out of his chest, killing him and right as he fell, Green Arrow saw Khione standing behind Darhk, her hand out, an icy mist coming out of it.

"That was for killing me and blackmailing my father." Khione said angrily as she lowered her hand before looking up at Green Arrow.

"I told you he was mine." Green Arrow said, but she could tell he wasn't really mad, if anything, he sounded impressed that she was actually able to do it.

"This was personal." Khione said as the Ghosts all began to stand down in panic at the sight of their dead leader.

"What do we do with him now?" John asked cautiously.

"We make sure they can't ever restore their leader." Green Arrow said angrily as he pulled out an explosive arrow and they all got clear just in time for him to fire it into Darhk's body, blowing it into pieces.

"He doesn't deserve a grave." Green Arrow said.

"No arguments here." Khione said.

"Laurel, is that you?" John asked in shock as he finally recognized her voice.

"It's me John. What do you think?" Khione asked.

"Nice, though a little unnerving." John said.

"Better for our enemies. We need to find Andy now. He can fill us in on the rest of Darhk's plans." Green Arrow said and both of his partners nodded in agreement.

"I have the best chance of catching up with him." Khione said.

"Go. He won't know what hit him." Green Arrow said and Khione nodded as she glided off on her slide.

"You okay man?" Green Arrow asked John.

"No. I'm an idiot Oliver. I never should've gone after Hive alone." John said.

"No, you shouldn't have, but you did exactly what I would've done if I were in your position. I know what it's like to have family betray you and how it can affect a person." Green Arrow said as Khione rejoined them, a very freezing Andy Diggle with him.

"You son of a bitch." John said as he punched him.

"Enough. We need to get back to the bunker. Hopefully Overwatch will have a lead on Speedy." Green Arrow said and Khione and John both nodded.
