*Base*

Ollie took his hood off while I took my mask off. Diggle woke up. "Hey." Ollie and I say in unison He saw us, "Oliver, Maya?" Diggle asks confused. We nod. He finally gets up from the table completely and look at our suits then back at us. "You two are the vigilantes." He says. Diggle tries to hit me and I duck and Diggle collides with another table. "Easy Dig, you were poisoned. You don't have to take it out on my sister." Ollie says. "Son of a bitch!" Diggle calls out and tries to hit Ollie, but stumbles into him instead and Ollie puts Diggs arms at his back and gently pushes him to the steel table releasing him from his grip.

"We could've taken you anywhere, we could've taken you home. We brought you here." I say a little annoyed. I get annoyed easily. "You two really did loose you minds on that island." Diggle says. "We found a couple things along the way." Ollie says. "Like archery and knife throwing classes?" Diggle asks sarcastically. "Clarity." Ollie and I say in unison. "You guys really do that a lot, don't you?" Diggle says. Ollie ignores him, "Starling City...is dying. It is being poisoned by a criminal elite who don't care who they hurt, as long as they maintain their wealth and power." Ollie explains. "What are you two gonna do? Take 'em all alone with just with the two of you?" Diggle asks. "No. No, we want you to join us. Special forces out of Kandahar. It's perfect. You're a fellow solider." I say.

"Maya, you two aren't soldiers. You're criminals. And murderers." Diggle says and starts leaving. Great...now we have someone who knows our secret and hates us, you know that's just perfect. The best case scenario.

*At home*

Ollie and I get home. We head upstairs. "Oh, now I'm really looking forward to that shower." I whisper. Ollie chuckles. "Where were you two?" I hear Laurel ask. Yay, Laurel just the person I wanted to see. Ollie and I turn around to look at her. "What?" Ollie and I ask. "What are you doing here?" Ollie asks. "I heard about the shooting and I wanted to make sure the both of you were ok." Laurel explains. "You did?" Ollie asks. She nods. "Yeah. I knocked on the door to find a family terrified for you two." Laurel says and I roll my eyes. I stay put while Ollie moves forward. "They had no Idea where you two were." Laurel says. "I'm gonna go take my nice hot shower right now, I'll just go," I say and leave the awkwardness to take a shower.

*After the shower*

I lay on my bed trying to go to sleep, but flashbacks flood my memory. I can still see everything happen like if it was yesterday...and...and I hate it.

*Flashback*

I look over Ollie's shoulder to see him starring at a picture of Laurel, I then think about Cody. I miss him so much, like mom, Thea, Tommy...dad. The man comes back with two chickens trapped in a wooden trap, not dead...yet. "Shengcun." The man says. "What are we suppose to do with these?" Ollie asks. "Shengcun." He replies. Oh like that'll helpful, but I already know what he wants us to do. And I'm all for it...I'm starving and I just want to eat. "Does that mean bird?" Ollie asks. The man glares at him.

"Shengcun." The man says again. "We don't speak Chinese!" I snap and sigh. "I'm sorry Laurel, I'm so sorry." I head Ollie mutter under his breath while starring at the picture again.

*Flashback ends*

I jolt up, I must've fallen asleep. I get up and walk into Ollie's room, I see him awake. I lean on the doorframe of his room. "Did you also have flashbacks?" I ask him. He looks up at me and nods. I sigh. "I feel like this'll never go away." I say. "It will eventually." He says. "Let's go downstairs." Ollie says and gets up, I follow him downstairs and we see Thea up sitting on the couch in the Livingroom watching the news.

"Couldn't sleep either?" She asks the both of us. I sit down next to Ollie and lay down on the armrest. "Nope." Ollie and I say. "What're you watching?" Asks Ollie. "Peter Declan." Thea answers. Ollie and I exchange glances. "A guy who killed is wife. Right, this guy killed his wife in their baby's room. Psycho." Thea continues. "Brutal." I comment. "Camille was everything to me. I couldn't kill her anymore than I could kill myself." Peter said on the tv. "Why wouldn't the both of you sleep?" Thea asks.
