Destiny Rewritten

Chapter 166

When Laurel and the others returned to the Waverider, she was shocked to see Nora Darhk standing out of her cell.

"What is she doing not in a prison cell." Laurel demanded.

"She's on our side now." Oliver said.

"You really expect us to believe that?" Mari asked.

"It's true. Laurel, I know I can never make up for what I did before, but I can work to make sure the future is better." Nora said.

"Besides, she has intel on the demon we can use to stop him and save Jasmine." Rip pointed out.

"Speaking of stopping Mallus, we got the Earth totem." Ray said.

"That was the last easy totem." Nora said.

"What do you mean?" Oliver asked.

"The five totems you currently have in your possession were the ones used to originally imprison Mallus. But the death totem, the reason all records of it and the tribe entrusted to protect it were erased is because that tribe sided with Mallus and he's still got a connection to it. Before anyone can use the totem, you need to break its connection to him first." Nora warned.

"But can we also use that connection to locate it?" Constantine asked.

"Possibly." Nora said.

"Keep working on it." Oliver said and they both nodded.

"Uh, Oliver, can I talk to you in private?" Laurel asked and Oliver nodded, knowing what she was going to say.

"What exactly happened while I was out treasure hunting?" Laurel asked.

"We did a little seance and Nora got to talk to her dad." Oliver said.

"Seriously." Laurel asked.

"Yep. Surprisingly, Darhk talked some sense into her, convinced Nora not to make the same mistakes he did." Oliver said.

"Really, and you trust her?" Laurel asked.

"No, but she is a way to save our baby girl, so, I'm willing to work with her." Oliver said and Laurel nodded before a smile came to her face.

"Speaking of which, where is she?" Laurel asked.

"Napping. I'm sure she'll be glad you're back though." Oliver said and Laurel smiled as she entered their room to see their little angel sleeping soundly.

"How was she?" Laurel asked.

"Aside from missing you, she was fine." Oliver said and Laurel smiled.

"I missed her to. But everything I'm doing, it's for her." Laurel said.

"Everything we're both doing is for her. To make sure she has a future that isn't haunted by a demon." Oliver said and Laurel nodded her agreement.

"Wow, so my first stint as Green Arrow will be stopping a gang war. Did not think I'd be doing that this soon." Emiko said after Roy and Thea told them about the Blackout Gang.

"Tell me about it. No offense, but I was really hoping that this sort of thing could wait until after Ollie got back." Thea said.

"None taken." Emiko said.

"Thea and I have to do this the legit way, but you guys don't." Roy said.

"Do we have anything work with?" Winn asked.

"Well, would the toxicology report help?" Roy asked as he pulled out the thumb drive Lance had slipped him.

"Yes it would." Winn said.

"Give me a copy of that and I'll get it to Lyla, something tells me weapons like this would be something Argus would interested in." John said and Winn nodded.

"Got it." Winn said.

"So, any ideas on where that missing death totem is?" Laurel asked when she and Oliver, Laurel carrying Jasmine in her arms, arrived on the bridge.

"Yes actually." Nora said.

"So where are we going?" Oliver asked.

"Memphis 1954 and guess what, we're not only going to get the totem." Nate said.

"Why else are we going?" Oliver asked.

"Because we got a ping of an aberration in the same place and surrounds a very famous musician." Ray said.

"Wait, if it's Memphis, then are you talking about?" Oliver asked.

"We're going to meet the king baby." Nate said eagerly.

"But before he becomes the King. In fact, we're going to church. Perfect place to take a newborn." Rip said.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Laurel asked, since she did not want Jasmine anywhere near a mission.

"We're only going to Church to figure out where the totem is what Elvis has to do with it. Nothing more." Rip assured her.

"Okay then, I guess we're going to church." Laurel said and Oliver nodded.
