"Felicity, where is Oliver headed?" I demanded when my sister picked up her phone. "I'm sending you the location. Apparently, Diggle decided to take it upon himself to investigate the assassin that fought Oliver."

"Shit." I growled in response. "Y/N," Felicity warned, "Be careful."

I clicked off the phone call and ran towards the location Felicity sent me. Pretty lucky that I brought my assassin suit, huh?

I arrived at the warehouse- 'why is it always a warehouse?'

Diggle was nowhere in sight, but I saw Oliver taking on a few League members, several others on the ground. I noticed Echo was trying to reach his bow from where he fell. Oliver took notice and drew back his bow; instantly, I pulled my own bow and shot an arrow to intercept the one Oliver sent flying for Echo.

The arrows crashed into one another and both fell to the ground. Oliver turned in my direction, probably from surprise that someone intercepted his arrow. I stared back at him from behind my mask. From the brief distraction, I saw Vitka take advantage of the situation and attack Oliver to protect her lover. It was something I couldn't allow...

I rushed over and grabbed Oliver's bow arm as the only option of not hurting him or Vitka. Oliver yanked on his bow, throwing me into Vitka. In return, I jumped onto my feet and tried grabbing his bow again. With both mine and his hands on the bow, I was forced to fight Oliver in close range combat. Fortunately for me, I had the advantage of knowing just exactly how Oliver fought, which gave me the edge I needed to make myself tough competition.

On the other hand, my weakness was not actually wanting to hurt Oliver. With one final blow, he knocked me face first to the ground. I managed to turn my body over and saw Oliver drawing his bow back in intentions of hitting Vitka... and he wasn't aiming to just hurt her. "Oliver, stand down!" I demanded from the ground. He turned his arrow to point it at me instead of Vitka; maybe he thought she was the one who knew who he was? "How do you know me!?" He shouted, pulling the arrow back to full draw length.

This is it- It's over... "I never wanted you to find out this way..." I clicked off my voice alter device, pulled back my hood, and then reached up to my mask to tug it down around my neck.

I looked back up to him, afraid of his reaction. He looked as though a ghost was staring back at him. "Please," I slowly pushed myself to stand in front of him. "Put the bow down, Oli... I can explain everything."

I could tell Oliver wanted more than anything in the world to be mad at me; he wanted to allow himself to feel betrayed, but he also knew that he would be a hypocrite for it.

Slowly, Oliver guided his arrow back to the resting position and he lowered the bow while he did it. "Where is Diggle?" He asked flatly. I shook my head, "I don't know... but if you stop hurting my friends, I can ask them."

"Fine." Oliver growled, collapsing his bow and attaching it to his back holster. I walked to Vitka and helped her up, making sure she was okay. "Where is John?" I asked her. She glared at Oliver, daring him to touch her or Echo again, "Down the hall behind me, last door on the right."

"He better be." Oliver snapped at her, pushing past her to find Diggle. She took no bother to being bumped, but simply made her way to Echo so she could check on him. I opened my mouth to say something after Oliver disappeared, but I heard three loud explosion noises, each one closer than the one before.

"Get him out of here!" I shouted at Vitka as the ground started shaking. 'What the hell is happening!?'

I ran in the direction Oliver went, but was blocked by a large beam that had fallen from the ceiling. "Oliver!!" I shouted, hoping he was close.
