"Well, the dinner was excellent." Caitlin smiled as Samantha, Laurel and Nicole were picking up the dishes.

"So, see you next week again, guys." Henry smiled as Oliver was continuing eating with William and Ashley as later, Barry, Kara, Caitlin, Ralph and Cisco left with Samantha and William and Nicole and Riley.

Rachel Gibson, Tommy's ex-girlfriend, with whom he had made amends, was staring outside the window.

"Everything OK?" Lyla asked.

"Yeah." Rachel said. "It's just… it's been a while since Tommy has returned any of my calls."

"I'm sure he's fine." Laurel assured her. "Tommy's a survivor."

"I know. It's just… three months ago, he left me the letter. All he said was, 'I don't know when but I will come back. I just hope that you'll be waiting for me.'" Rachel said.

On the road, Cisco groaned as he had a vibe.

Tommy Merlyn had chains around his arms and scars on his body as in front of him stood a man, wearing a sleeveless shirt with a dragon tattoo on his shoulder, another man in black outfit, a bow and quiver and a sword in his hands, a tall muscular man with a metal shield that had a spike in its center and razor edges, a long-haired woman in red leather suit with some kind of wrist guns and a dark-skinned woman in silver outfit and some kind of a device on her belt as the man in black outfit approached Tommy.

"When we have what we want, Thomas, then you can die." The man said. "Until then, we are bound together, brother."

Tommy hissed in pain as the man pulled out his sword and cut into Tommy's hip.

"Oh, my God…" Cisco whispered.

"Cisco?" Caitlin asked. "Is everything OK?"

The doorbell rang as Oliver opened and widened his eyes to see…

"Jason?" Oliver asked.

"They… they're coming." Jason Todd said.

"Who? Who's coming?" Oliver demanded.

Jason opened his mouth but no sound came out, to his own surprise and Oliver's but Rachel immediately realized what was going on as she mouthed, "Oh, shit."

Realizing what happened, Jason tackled Oliver to the ground as into the house burst in a woman with dark complexion and silver outfit, with some kind of device on her belt as Oliver blocked her blows and Jason grabbed her and tackled her to the ground before he smashed her device and they heard gunshots ring out and glass shatter as everyone took cover.

Henry took cover behind a nearby couch as two more people burst in.

One of them was a long-haired brunette in red outfit and some wrist guns and another was a muscular man with a shield with razor edges and a spike in its center as Henry rolled away as the man attacked with his shield. Diggle and Lyla pulled out their guns and fired but the man used his shield to block as the woman in red fired some darts from her wrist gun as they took cover.

Jason rushed at the woman as they traded punches but they were evenly matched as the man threw his shield and Oliver, Diggle and Lyla dodged before the shield could slice them into pieces as it was embedded into a nearby wall.

Soon enough, they heard sirens blare and gunshots ring out as outside were the Jackals.

Wasting no time, Oliver picked a bow and arrow, firing an arrow into the shoulder of the tall man, who hissed in pain but was mostly unfazed as he rushed at Oliver. Oliver rolled away as the man picked his shield as Henry and Oliver fired but the man used his shield to block their shots.

Jason threw the woman in red on the ground as Laurel and Sara were fighting the black woman in silver outfit.

"You assholes won't give up, do you?" Jason sneered.

"We don't leave a job unfinished." The woman in red said.

Rachel neared them, glaring and recognizing them. "What the hell do you want?!"

"You really thought we'd let you walk away? That he'd let you walk away?" The woman in red said as Rachel widened her eyes.

"No… it can't be…"

"Some people are too stubborn to die, if you have forgotten." The muscular man said before the black woman reached for her belt and a flash of light blinded them all before the assassins disappeared.

Oliver turned to Jason.

"What the hell is going on here?! Who are they?!" Oliver demanded.

"The Longbow Hunters." Jason explained.

Oliver widened his eyes.

"I thought they were a myth." Henry said.

"They're very real." Rachel nodded. "Richard met them. They're the ones who trained him, when he was on the run from the League. I thought they had no reason to go after me…"

"Richard is alive." Jason said.

"What?" Everyone exclaimed, shock and horror flooding them.

"And it's not just him you have to worry about, it's Tommy's brother. That's why he wasn't returning your calls..." Jason continued.

Joe Wilson was looking through the gunsight as he had his rifle ready and he was looking at his target through the gunsight.

"I have the shot."

"Do it." The voice in his earpiece said as Joe pulled the trigger and he then saw his bullet pierce the glass as it was later spattered with blood as he later heard the screams.

"No! No! No, please, God, no! Help! Help!"

Joe sighed. It wasn't the target he intended to hit but it did the job to deliver a crippling emotional blow to Oliver Queen and his friends. He got up and picked up his rifle before walking away, not wanting to risk being discovered.

Oliver was at the gravestone as Bruce approached him. "Sorry I missed the funeral."

"Talia?" Oliver questioned.

"Yeah." Bruce nodded.

"It's not our fault, Bruce. It is our responsibility to stop this." Oliver said.

"You're going to kill them?" Bruce asked.

"And every last person, who defends them if I must. Dragon, Jade, they all have to pay." Oliver vowed.

"Oliver, if there's anything I can do…"

"Don't try to stop me from doing this." Oliver warned.

"I won't." Bruce said as he held Oliver's shoulder. "But just promise me this. Don't forget who you are."

"I won't." Oliver said before Bruce walked away and Oliver knelt down, putting his hand on the gravestone and a stray tear streamed down his cheek.

Later, Oliver approached a nearby car, where was Jason, Slade Wilson and Tommy Merlyn waiting.

"Any leads?"

"Maybe." Tommy said. "Oliver, if you do this, there might be no going back." He warned.

"I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect my family. Would you do any differently?" Oliver questioned and Tommy shook his head before they entered the car.

"And I have to stop my son. I don't know if I can reach him but… this is too far." Slade vowed. "I don't know if my son can be saved… but the rest… we'll take them down. Whatever it takes."

"Let's go find the Dragon and your brother." Oliver said.

They drove down the road as they were going on their path to avenge their friend.

Want to know who died? And how will it turn out for Oliver, Tommy, Jason, Slade and the rest against Richard Dragon, Joe Wilson, Jade Nguyen, Saracon and the Longbow Hunters? Wait until June 2019.

I am considering writing a spin-off with Constantine, Zatanna and Raven but it's a big IF.

And I have planned more sequels, one of them covering Batwoman crossover and another with Justice League but they will be most likely up in Summer 2019 but I might write other stories too.

Please review and let me know if you have enjoyed the story to its end.

With regards
