Chapter 3

Disclaimer: Okay, one more time… DO NOT SPECULATE. Use the REVIEW system for what it is MEANT FOR. As clearly the guest reviewer this is in reference too either missed my last AN in 'Wild Dog Saves Christmas' on this subject and the actions I chose to take in regards to guest reviews or chose to disregard it for whatever reason. Anyway, I own nothing but what you see here and this will be the final chapter as well.


Several days had passed since Dinah Lance of Earth-2 had shown up and pretty much had and continued to have her way with Oliver. Felicity continued to grieve for Billy and pretty much chose to stay away from the Bunker due to the fact that Dinah was down there quite a bit. Curtis was pretty miserable himself over the separation from his husband and no one was quite sure of what to do about it. Well, aside from Dinah anyway as she was of the opinion that maybe a little kidnapping to have a few words with him would do wonders in getting a reconcillation going. Naturally, this was shot down real fast as it was not the right way to go about things. Lance just about had a heart attack when he was brought down to the Bunker to meet her as the team felt he had the right to know about her being around. And Dinah was a bit unsure around the man considering she hadn't had the best relationship with him on her Earth and this version of him was still clearly grieving the Laurel that had lived on this one. The thought of bringing Dinah the mother in on things hadn't even entered any of their minds for that matter.

As they all felt it would be a bit too much for the time being and resolved to come back to that at a later time. Lance however thought it was hilarious to see his baby girl's doppleganger practically run all over Oliver like a Bull in a shop. Whether it was in training or something casual on some occasions. She also liked to make remarks about his Mayoral job and his thing with Susan Williams. Which he couldn't even really focus on all that much cause of Dinah and her lovely self. But at least Oliver couldn't deny that Dinah hadn't lied about making his life Hell in one form or another. And a part of him that made him question if whether or not he should seek therapy, was starting to like just how assertive Dinah could be. Even if it was at his own expense. He did give Barry a black eye however when the Speedster finally showed up in regards to Dinah and she would even break his left pinkie finger too for good measure. Mostly cause she was still fairly pissed about being stuck in a tiny ass cell for a good while.

Barry wisely ended up deciding to leave things be where she was concerned as he really didn't want his ass being kicked, or shot with arrows for that matter. Or in Dinah's case, losing his hearing cause of her sonic screams. Though he did warn Oliver to be careful around her before leaving as he didn't want to see his friend get hurt by the look alike of their Laurel. A part of the archer however thought that it would be deserved considering the kind of person he'd been to his Laurel back before the island. A line of thought he didn't have a lot of time to put into thanks to Prometheus and Artemis being on the move. Prompting him and the team to head out to meet them and Dinah refused to stay behind as she wanted a word with the girl for her betrayal. Reluctantly putting on her counterpart's mask in order to conceal her identity but passing on the Blonde wig as that just didn't suit her at all thank you very much. And it was apparent that Prometheus was proving to be a very formidable opponent as the team fought against him.

The man even using what happened with Detective Malone to keep them off their game. And how he even knew about what had happened between Curtis and his husband was something none of them were happy about. Making for Curtis to resolve to check on the man he loves as soon as he could to ensure he was okay. "Man, I feel like I'm fightin' the Shredder." Grumbled a doubled over Rene as he breathed a bit heavily.

"Original first film version?" Asked Rory curiously as he forced himself upright in order to protect his friends.

"Hell yeah."

"If I was in the mood for it, I would ask who's the better fighter. Prometheus or him. But I'm not." Remarked a bleeding Curtis sourly.

Sucking in a breath, Rene looked to him. "Eh, somethin' to go over later then man."

Dinah shook her head at them as now was definitely not the time for chit chat! "Boys, you too Green Bean, cover your ears." Ordered the woman.

And so they did, albeit in Oliver's case, he had to gain some distance from Prometheus but the man was not making it easy on him. "Just do it!" Yelled out Oliver.

Nodding at that, Black Siren let loose with a sonic scream that made both Oliver and Prometheus fall to their knees with a groan. "Have fun with that lover, I've got a little birdie behind the dumpster to talk too."

Oliver grunted but complied and quickly found himself on the defensive once the other man regained his bearings. But Dinah paid it no mind as she went to the pained Evelyn Sharp in her Artemis gear. Looking down at her while the girl looked at her a bit fearfully, she shook her head and then grabbed her by the shirt and forced her up. "Hello sweetie. We need to talk."

"L-Laurel Lance?" Asked the girl in stunned disbelief.

"Close, but not quite kid. But enough about me and more about you."

Evelyn looked at her in confusion for a moment, as she hadn't a clue what the Laurel look alike was on about. Something that made the woman tut at her. "Ohh now, you don't have a clue. But I guess I'll have to help you with that." Declared the woman as she threw to the younger girl to the ground.

Which was not pleasant at all for her. "So he finds someone else to do his dirty work huh? Typical for a killer I guess."

Chuckles came from Dinah as she shook her head the foolishness of the girl. "Oh no sweetie. I'm doing this of my own free will. As betrayal? Not something I care for. Yeah, Green Bean killed people but guess what? So has the jackass you betrayed him for! Which makes you a hypocrite little girl because at least Green Arrow has put it behind him and started trying to do better!"

"He's still a killer!" Protested the younger girl and not wanting to face the truth of the reality she had placed herself in.

A harsh slap to the face was given in return. "Don't make me start slapping some sense into you kid."

"It won't do you any good cause you're fighting for the cause of the wrong person!"

Dinah slapped her again. "Oh yeah? Well tell that to Billy Malone. Tell that to his family, tell that to Felicity, and don't forget his co-workers and friends! Because that pretentious asshole who calls himself Prometheus is responsible for his death! Oh, and let's not forget the fact that the jackass has caused Fair Play to be an absolute miserable mess cause he helped let the cat out of the bag where his husband is concerned." Replied the woman and she would slap the girl hard with each time she told her to tell the girl that to those various people.

Tears began to come from the younger girl's eyes as she hadn't ever realized the ramifications of her actions until now. Actions that were having some fairly horrible consequences as in a way, that Detective's death was on her hands and there was no telling how Oliver was handling things. And Felicity… Someone who had shown a lot of care for her was probably even worse off then him and it just killed her. "Oh God, I'm so sorry!" Sobbed out the girl as everything hit her full on.

Dinah nodded in satisfaction and walked away, just in time to see Prometheus haul ass while Oliver seemed to have trouble standing fully. "Relax before you pop a blood vessel. We'll get him later."

He looked to her and then reluctantly nodded, even if he was a little irked about her remark! "And Artemis?"

"In need of a hug probably." Replied Dinah unconcernedly.

Making him wonder about that until he noticed the girl crying her eyes out and the guys surrounding her and looking a bit unsure of what to do. "One of you grab her and let's get going." Ordered the archer and Rory quickly did so as he scooped the tearful girl into his arms.

A short time later would see her rushing into Felicity's arms after she'd been called and asked to come down there while they made their way there. At first, the Blonde hacker was a bit confused but quickly came to realize what was going on in between all the sobbing apologies the young girl kept giving her while everyone looked on. But Felicity did not blame Evelyn one bit for what had happened to Billy. No, she blamed Prometheus for what happened to Billy and knew that in time, he would pay for what he'd done. Just as all the others had. Dinah was a bit smug with herself for having caused the scene to happen so she didn't mind all the waterworks all that much. Though she did hand Oliver his ass later on when he started to make remarks about the good job she'd done with a grin on his face.


Author's Notes: And there we have it folks. Hope you all enjoyed it! And please, leave the bitching about her being able to kick his ass at the door when you review as I've already explained the logic behind her being able too.
