*At the Arrow Lair*

After the party, Oliver went to take care of some Mayor's duties and found that he is actually in a better mood than he has been in a long time despite the current issues concerning his life as Green Arrow. With Laurel back in his life, it almost felt like things were back to normal, especially with the idea of being with her again. While there are still some questions that needed to answering about her return, Oliver decides just to enjoy the moment that is until he went back to the lair only to hear what sounds like Laurel's canary cry but more high pitched.

Rushing downstairs, he manages to hear the voice of Laurel speak saying, "Finally, it's about time someone figured it out. You know, I am so sick and tired of playing this pathetic weak, vulnerable Laurel. She's such a pill, it's pathetic."

"What the hell?" Oliver crept slowly into the room to witness Laurel use the sonic scream from her mouth instead of her old device. "You know, the one problem with my ability is that I can never hear my poor, little victims scream."

Laurel use the sonic scream again on Felicity until Oliver makes his presence known, by shooting an arrow towards her, to stop her from killing Felicity. "Laurel! What are you doing!?" Laurel turns around with a panicked expression looking at him with a feeling of regret.

"I'm sorry Ollie." She said before unleashing another sonic scream to make her escape, making sure not to hurt Oliver in the process.

Once Oliver realizes that she has disappeared, he runs over to check on Felicity, who was still shaking by the scream. "Are you hurt?"

She nods her head as Oliver thinks to himself as reality sets in, "That's not mine Laurel."

Later, when the team came together after the attack from fake Laurel, Oliver and the team receives the answer to who is exactly is the Laurel they were dealing with. "Ok. One thing I don't get well, you know, there's a list of stuff I don't get, but at the top is this fake Laurel seemed to know, like, everything. How's that possible?" Rory points out to the team.

"Prometheus. Cisco just sent this over. It is from 3 days ago, but nobody knew because no alarms tripped." Oliver shows the video of Prometheus freeing Earth 2 Laurel. At some point, Oliver plans on having a conversation with Team Flash and Felicity about not telling him about another Laurel being lock up on their earth.

"It's like he's a Dybbuk." Rory jokes.

"Yeah. I don't know what that is." Renee admits out loud.

"One question," Curtis speaks up.

"Just one?" Felicity sarcastically asks] before Curtis asks his question. "Prometheus breaks into S.T.A.R. Labs, gets not Laurel, Henry Higginses her into coming off as real Laurel. That's a lot of hoops. Why not just kill you?"

"He told me he doesn't want to. He's proving to me that I will destroy myself and everyone close to me." Oliver explains to the team while trying to keep his emotions in check.

"Well, he's going to be disappointed, but we are going to put Black Siren back in her cage," Felicity said, causing all except Oliver to look at her with confusion.

"Black Siren?" Rory questions her.

Felicity responds saying, "Every meta gets a nickname."

"Let's hit the streets. Laurel is not leaving the city until this is over." Oliver commands in a grave tone before walking away.

"What are you gonna do?" Renee asks Oliver curiously.

"John needs my help as mayor. I will be on my cell." Oliver simple answers with a lot on his mind.

One was confusion over the idea that this Laurel that he was with is not on this earth, yet she seems like the one he knew besides some difference in her personality when it came to her aggressive behavior. Then there was anger, but not just cause of Laurel but how because apparently, Felicity was already aware of the other Laurel existence. The same woman was upset at him for not sharing his secret about his son, and that Barry didn't personally tell him as well. Lastly, Oliver felt hurt that the person who looked like the love of his life turns out to be an imposter that nearly tricked him is working with the enemy.

*At the office*

After setting his plans to help Diggle in motion, Oliver begins to leave his office when he feels his cell phone vibrating. "This is Mayor Queen."

E2 Laurel: Oliver, it's me-Laurel.

Oliver: Don't you say her name after what you did.

E2 Laurel: I-I'm sorry. What I did was unforgivable, but-but he made me do it-Prometheus.

Oliver: What do you mean he made you?

E2 Laurel: He threatened to kill me. You have to help me, please. Can you meet me?

Oliver: Where?

E2 Laurel: The Black Canary statue. I'll be there soon.

Oliver: Now wait... *click*

The call ended, leaving Oliver more confused than he already was. While he understands that Prometheus is a considerable threat, this version should at least be able to defend herself due to her meta-power. Not to mention, of what he has discovered, Laurel on her ears has a track record of wanting to team up with dangerous people.

Of course, there's that other part of Oliver that regardless of the difference to his earth Laurel, he believes there can be good in her, and it didn't help that his deep feelings for Laurel Lance returned when Earth 2 Laurel showed up pretending to be the original version. Regardless Oliver wanted answers, and he plans on getting them.

Later, Oliver tells the team about meeting up with Black Siren, leading to a slight argument between him and Felicity about trusting her. Felicity was still sore about being attacked by her earlier. At the same time, Oliver points out that Felicity is getting on Laurel's case, while necessary, didn't help her situation and that Laurel had a look of remorse before escaping.

The argument ended with Oliver suggesting to bring the team on standby but has eyes on operation due to not wanting any chance to miss out on intel, much to Felicity's displeasure. With everyone at their post, they wait for Black Siren to show up.

"Any sign of Black Siren?" Overwatch questions through their radio channel.

"Not yet, but everyone's gonna stand down and do not engage for any reason." Green Arrow reminds the team earning an irritated response from Wild Dog saying, "Yeah, we get it."

"Yeah? Well, I say take her down." Overwatch proposes.

"Overwatch!" Green Arrow warns in a somber tone.

"You heard the boss. This is an eyes-only operation for you." She said with sarcasm in her voice.

Before he could make another comment, Green Arrow sees the target heading his direction. "I have eyes on." As Black Siren makes her ways towards him, Green Arrow doesn't realize that Overwatch cuts his radio off to devise a backup plan with the other members.

"Thank you for meeting me. I know you don't believe me, but it's true, Prometheus threatened to kill me." Black Siren explains, but her statement doesn't entirely convince Green Arrow.

"Sorry if I don't buy your story, considering you're a very convincing liar." Green Arrow responds while keeping his guard for any surprise attacks.

"I deserve that." Black Siren said before Green Arrow continues.

"According to S.T.A.R. Labs, you'd help Prometheus, even if he wasn't threatening anyone."

"That's what they think. What do you think?" Black Siren asks curiously. Green Arrow wanted to flat out said that he agrees with them, but again that other part of him wants to believe that this Laurel is telling the truth.

"I can help you track him." Black Siren pulls out a tracking device, throwing Green Arrow off guard.

"How do I know this tracking device won't lead me into a trap?" Before Black Siren could respond, Mr. Terrific and Ragman, out of nowhere, attempted to take Black Siren down. Only to fail when she used her canary cry on them both. Green Arrow runs behind her and puts her in a hold with his arm around her neck.

"Stand Down!" Green Arrow yells, trying to calm down a piss off Black Siren.

"Screw that; they attack me!"

"You want to convince me that your story is real, then calm the hell down, and we will talk about this in the lair. Don't make me do something I don't want to do!" Something in Green Arrow's words somehow gets through Black Siren's head as she takes deep breaths to relax even with Wild dog appear with a look of disappointment towards his fallen team members.

Once things settle, they all return to the lair, where Oliver begins questioning Rory and Curtis. "I thought I gave you all direct orders not to engage!"

"Told y'all," Renee mutters, earning a glare from the two.

Oliver turns to Renee saying, "Thank you for listening to directions. If it wasn't for me, Black Siren could have killed you, and worse we would have lost Intel did that not go through any of you two minds!?"

"We know," Rory answers folding his arms.

"It's just- she, um, spooked us," Curtis claim, but Oliver could tell that was a lie until Felicity speaks up for them.

"You guys are terrible liars. I told them to move on her, but Wild Dog didn't want to." A look of disbelief form on Oliver's face not understanding why she would go behind his back and tell them to attack.

"I should have known the blonde that doesn't know her place would behind that attack." E2 Laurel said, rolling her eyes in annoyance, but Oliver's focus is still on Felicity.

"Since when are they taking orders from you?" He questions her.

"I don't know, but I kind of like it. Black Siren had something in her hand." She explains.

"She had a phone in her hand." Oliver points out.

"Well, it didn't look like her phone, and I don't trust her, so I told them to move," Felicity explains some more though it still didn't sit well with Oliver.

"Felicity if Lau... Black Siren wanted to she could of easily knock me out with her ability during the meeting, yet she didn't. Regardless, I had the situation under control."

Felicity scoff before Oliver continues. "She told me that Prometheus forced her to do this. Now, whether or not that is true, she was going to give us valuable Intel on him."

"It's true, though, thanks to the blonde's stunt, I might not share what I know." E2 Laurel smirks at Felicity until Oliver gives her a stern look making her throw her hands up in sunder. "Just kidding."

"She's playing you, Oliver," Felicity said, bringing Oliver's attention back to the topic.

"I understand that you're suspicious of her, and I know this Laurel is from another earth, that this is not our Laurel, but we don't know why she is like who she is. Are you willing to tell me that if this weren't a Diggle, Ray, or even Billy from another earth, you wouldn't be willing even to try and see if there's a chance of redemption?" Oliver didn't want to use Billy as part of his argument. Still, he needed for Felicity for once actually try to understand why he makes individual decisions even though they aren't popular ones.

Catching everyone off guard except E2 Laurel, Felicity fights back her tears and says, "That's not fair Oliver she has killed people."

"What the hell was I doing when you met me and even now!?" Oliver shouts at her, finally getting fed up with the hypocrisy when it came to her.

"If you are going to continue to be a part of this team, then you need to stop challenging every single move I make started with this one." He turns his attention back to Earth 2 Laurel. "Black Siren, because you have valuable information, I'm giving you one chance and only one to prove that your story is true, which means you will be on this team under my watch."

"Understood." E2 Laurel nods in agreement angering Felicity even more.

"You can't be serious Oliver?"

"I am, and it's already been decided," Oliver states to the blonde bringing out the cold side of him from when he first came back from the island.

"If you do this, I'm out for good, and I'm sure Diggle wouldn't agree to this." Felicity threatens with E2 Laurel secretly hoping she will go away.

"Really Felicity?" Oliver asks not to surprise that she would quit the team over this.

"No, I won't stand here and work with you while you tarnish Laurel's name."

"You have no right to say that, considering I knew her way longer than you! Her last words were to find a new Black Canary and plan on honoring that promise."

Felicity shakes her head and, in a dark tone, "Wow, like John said awhile back. She's your blind spot."

Feeling the heat rise in his face, Oliver looks away and manages to say, "Get out." before he would say something he would regret.

"Gladly and this time, I'm out for good. I knew we couldn't work together after things ended between us." Felicity went to grab her stuff and vow not to return.

"Bye Felicity." E2 Laurel smiles and waves mockingly as she and Oliver notice Rory and Curtis walking towards Felicity.

"We are leaving with her," Curtis tells Oliver for both Curtis and Rory didn't agree with Oliver's decision as well.

Oliver faces all three them revealing a cold expression. "Funny, I was thinking about kicking you both off the team because of your actions tonight, yet you two made that choice easier for me. We will agree not to reveal our identities to the public; however, if we cross paths and you interfere with my mission, there will be consequences."

"Noted," Rory answers with the three of them leaving the lair for the last time.

"I will make sure they find the exit." Renee offers though he just found an excuse to leave Oliver and Black Siren some alone time.

"Finally, she left, I don't see how you put up with her for this long always whines and complains when she doesn't get her way like a crybaby. Now we can celebrate." E2 Laurel walks over to Oliver only for him to raise a hand to stop her.

"Don't think just because of what happens that things are straight between you and me." He said in a severe tone, still upset about what just transpired within his team.

She looks at him with confusion. "What do you mean? I told you that Prometheus was going to kill me, and that is why I did what I did."

"Yes, you said that, though at the same time, your history on Earth-2 would suggest you had other reasons." Oliver reminds her.

"Don't you trust me?"

"Can you blame me if I don't entirely?"

E2 Laurel sighs sadly and looks up at Oliver. "No, I can't because, in my world, you've been dead for ten years now. I moved to Central City for a fresh start. That's where this happened, and from them, it was just one bad choice after another, and I guess once you let the darkness inside it never comes out, and now I am trapped in a parallel dimension, telling my sob story to the doppelganger of the man that- that I love."

Hearing her say, love, instead of loved surprise Oliver for he was sure that the flirting and getting back close to him was a part of her plan to distract him not based on actual feelings from her.

"You have to understand that I went I first came to this earth I had no idea you were alive. When Prometheus confirmed that to me, I went along with his plan without him knowing about my personal goal, that goal to be reunited with you and see how you are like on this earth compare to my Oliver. I hope that I could develop a healthy relationship with you to where I could reveal the real me and that you would trust me so we could take down Prometheus together. Of course, no thanks to Felicity plans had to change, and I wasn't proud of showing you the dark side of me, but it's hard, not to..."

Soaking everything that she said, Oliver tells her, "So stop running. Face the darkness and know you don't have to do this alone."

"How does that work?" Laurel asks.

"First, you need to tell me everything that you know about Prometheus, everything, and then I keep you safe."

"And you're willing to do that why? I know I'm not this earth's Laurel, so why go through all this for me?" She looks him in the eyes that were trying to lie about his true feelings for her.

Having to keep his guard up to avoid getting hurt, Oliver answers her saying, "Someone once told me that a circumstance could make something poison or nectar. What they meant was that we get to choose what we are, we get to choose who we are. If I am honest, yes, I do miss Laurel Lance, and you standing here pretty much a different version of her doesn't help from keeping my feelings for her intact. Just like her, I do believe there's good in you, but you have to prove that starting by telling me... Who are you?"

TBC

AN: I have to say FINALLY someone updated the character selection for the arrow section, so now we can tag characters like E2 Laurel, Dinah, and Mckenna hall. Now, as far as the reviews that are wondering if Oliver/Laurel is the endgame in this story um yeah, it's no Olicity.

As you see, this is where we see significant changes in this episode in this chapter. I try to show that if the writers had just let Oliver and Laurel be the primary focus and not letting Felicity be that character, E2 Laurel had a better chance of switching sides. The plan is still to make this a short story, especially with the lack of reviews so that I will have one or two more chapters left.

Lastly, and I can't believe I feel like I have to do this if you don't prefer reading about a particular ship, don't go on someone's story with the pairing and post negative comments about the author. It's one thing to disagree like adults, but just bashing the writer is not cool at all. I went and saw that on my friend's Phillipe363's story featuring Oliver/Tina, so I felt the need to say something.
