Arrow - A New Earth to Save

Chapter 37

A couple of days later Talia was walking into Oliver's office at city hall to give him a update on how the League was doing with their task. Laurel happened to be there as well for her weekly meeting.

"So, how is everything going Talia?" Laurel asked.

"Everything is going well. Soon Darkh will not have any more ghosts left." Talia said.

"That's good. Keep it up and we will be able to take him out within the next couple of weeks." Oliver said.

Just then Talia's phone rang, and she answered it. Nyssa was on the other end of the line.

"Sister, there is someone here that wishes to be in the company of Ras Al Ghul." Nyssa said.

"Ras is busy right now. He will have to wait." Talia said.

"He said he is willing to meet anywhere, and trust me, it is someone that Ras really wants to see." Nyssa said.

"Who is this person that you think is of such importance to Ras Al Ghul?" Talia asked.

"His name is Ricardo Diaz. I think he is worth Ras putting a little time aside for a meeting." Nyssa said.

"I agree. I will tell Ras that Mr. Diaz will be here within the next day to meet with him." Talia said.

"I will pass the message along and let Mr. Diaz know that you will be picking him up at the airport." Nyssa said.

"Very well." Talia said as she hung up the phone.

"So, what was that about?" Oliver asked.

"Apparently someone wishes to have an audience with Ras Al Ghul. I think you will be happy with who it is though." Talia said with a smile.

"I heard you say Mr. Diaz so I am guessing it is that piece of shit Ricardo Diaz." Oliver said.

"That would be correct. He is walking right into your hands." Talia said.

"Yeah, I know. It almost seems a little too easy. I am not going to complain though, because the sooner I take him down the less time I have to worry about him." Oliver said and Talia left the office leaving Oliver and Laurel alone.

"So, what's the deal with this Diaz guy?" Laurel asked.

"He leaked a picture of me as the Green Arrow, which caused the FBI to investigate me. That ended up tearing the team apart. I also got impeached. And last but not least I had to go to prison. He did the most damage to me then any other enemy every did. He actually beat me." Oliver said.

"Ok, that makes since that you would hate him then. So, what is your plan once he arrives?" Laurel asked.

"I am going to grant him his meeting. It won't be what he expects though." Oliver said.

"Didn't suspect so. Just don't lose yourself in doing this." Laurel said.

"I won't. This is one man that it will not bother me to end. If you want, you can be there to keep me from going to far." Oliver said.

"I think it would be best. I know you are going to kill him. I will make sure that you do it quicker than you would otherwise." Laurel said.

"Thanks. I will see you later. Love you." Oliver said.

"Love you too." Laurel said as she kissed Oliver and left the room.

Then next morning Ricardo Diaz's plane was landing at Star City airport. He got off the plan to see Talia Al Ghul waiting for him. "I assume you are my ride being as you have a sign with my name." Diaz said.
