Destiny Rewritten

Chapter 74

By the time Green Arrow and his team arrived at the hive base, they could hear sounds of fighting coming from inside.

"Looks like the League didn't bother waiting for us." Black Canary said.

"Ra's men are expendable to him and for this particular target, I'm willing to bet he'd sacrifice the whole just to take down one man." Green Arrow said.

"But something tells me Ra's can't resist Darhk's magic like you can." Green Lantern said.

"I doubt it. Split up, you know your missions." Green Arrow said.

"Find the idol and cut off Darhk's magic." Black Canary said as she and Frostbite headed off separately from the others.

"And now we get to have the real fun." Arsenal said.

"Just stay out of Darhk's line of site. He's mine." Green Arrow said.

"How will we know which one is Darhk?" Arsenal asked.

"Look for one who isn't using any weapons and isn't dressed in hive gear, but is still fighting. Also, he's the one with the magic." Green Arrow said.

"Good point." Arsenal said.

"Green Lantern, make us a door will you?" Green Arrow asked and Green Lantern nodded as he held up his hand used his ring to blast a hole into the building, allowing the three of them to enter.

Frostbite had recently mastered her ability to fly, which she used to get her and Black Canary to the roof of the building.

"Nice trick." Black Canary said.

"Thanks, but I think next time I'm gonna use the ice slide so I don't have to carry you." Frostbite said.

"Excuse me?" Black Canary asked, giving her a look.

"You're heavy. Now I believe we have a mission to do." Frostbite said, getting them back on track.

"Got it. Winn you read me?" Black Canary asked over the comms.

"Loud and clear. Do you see a fuse box or security panel anywhere on the roof?" Winn asked.

"Yeah I see it." Black Canary as she walked over to it.

"Now what?" Frostbite asked.

"Canary, check your belt and you'll find a video hacker in it. Place it on the panel and I can then use it to get eyes on the inside, I can tell you where to go." Winn said.

"Copy that." Black Canary said as she found the device on her belt and attached it to the panel.

"Device planted, you're up." Black Canary said.

"Copy that I should have eyes on in three, two, one and I'm in." Winn said as he accessed the surveillance footage.

"Any chance you can unlock the door on the roof?" Frostbite asked as they heard a clicking noise.

"You mean like that?" Winn asked.

"You rock. Lead us to our goal." Black Canary said as she and Frostbite headed in.

Back on the ground floor, it was a war zone as the League of Assassins and Hive tried to massacre each other, but Green Arrow's vision narrowed the second he saw Darhk fighting Ra's.

"I've got eyes on Darhk. Cover me." Green Arrow said.

"I'll clear you a path." Green Lantern said as they joined in the fighting as Green Arrow fought his towards Darhk while Green Lantern and Arsenal did their best to help the League fight off Hive.

"Well, well old friend. It looks like we finally know who the best is." Damien said to Ra's as he used his magic to hold Ra's in the air and was starting to drain the life out of him.

"You have no honor Damien." Ra's said.

Before Darhk could respond to that, he was thrown backwards by an exploding arrow, releasing Ra's from his power.

"Darhk!" Green Arrow shouted as he lunged at him, taking over the fight.

"Oh goodie, a new playmate." Darhk said as he tried to use his magic on Green Arrow, but to his shock, it didn't work and Green Arrow's eyes glowed yellow.

"Not so easy without the magic is it?" Green Arrow asked with a grin.

"Oh I don't need magic. I'm a former member of the League of Assassins. Or have you forgotten." Darhk said, reminding Oliver of their last battle almost completely.

"Remind me." Green Arrow said as he lunged at Darhk and the two began fighting and even without his magic, Darhk was a force to be reckoned with.

"You know, I'm glad I'm you're here. It saves me the trouble of having to find out who you are the hard way. And once I find out, I think I'll keep you alive just long enough for you to see me kill everyone you love." Darhk said and Green Arrow's vision went red with anger as he lashed out and began moving at speeds even the Flash would be impressed by.

"You'll never hurt anyone I care about." Green Arrow roared as he pulled out an arrow, took aim and fired it right into Darhk's heart.

"And this time, stay dead." Green Arrow said under his breath as he began to let go of a ball of stress he didn't even realize had been there since the reality reset had happened. Darhk was dead. The man who'd killed the love of his life was gone and he'd never be able to hurt her again. Laurel was safe. That was all that mattered to him anymore.

"You killed him." Ra's said.

"Sorry, but it was either him or you." Green Arrow said.

"I should've prepared for his magic like you did. Are you sure you do not wish a place in the league?" Ra's asked.

"I've made my position on that clear. I am happy with the life I have now and if you try and ruin it, well then, I hope you have an heir, since I have no problems killing you now that we no longer have Darhk to worry about." Oliver said, making it clear that he would never join the League again and he would kill Ra's without hesitation if he tried to force that on him.
