Oliver entered the lair as he saw Roy, Diggle, Dinah, Felicity, Curtis and Rene talking.

"Damn, you whooped Onyx's ass like nothing, Hoss." Rene mused.

"She was good but we worked quite well together." Roy said. "Thanks for trusting me."

"I guess student surpasses the master, doesn't he?" Dinah teased.

"Honestly, bow and arrow are more your thing than mine, Roy." Diggle said as they drank.

"How have things been down here?" Oliver asked.

"Oh, we had to catch a terrorist bomber and rogue CIA black ops agent. Kind of got ugly but we got it." Roy summed up.

"I knew you could do this, Roy." Oliver said, smiling.

"I think there will always be only one original G.A. but… who knows… maybe there are good people, who can honor his legacy." Curtis said as Oliver and Roy went aside.

"Thank you." Oliver said.

"Are you kidding me? After all you've done for me, this was the least I could do. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure I could because I'm not a leader or the type of man they'd look up to but…"

"That's exactly why I wanted you to be the Green Arrow." Oliver said. "When I started, I thought I was nothing. I may have had money. I may have had my family, Laurel, Tommy but… they would always become targets because of what I had been through, unless I would fight for them by the skin of my teeth, just like I did during the five years I was gone. And you fought the same way every single day in the Glades, until I saved you. I don't see a better suited person to be the Green Arrow."

"What about you?" Roy asked. "I mean, this is who you've been for the last five years."

"I know. But it's time I was something else than the Green Arrow. Slade told me that I can't live in both worlds forever. And Samantha and William made me realize that my son needs me." Oliver said.

Dinah's phone went off as she answered the call. "Yeah? Uh-huh." She hung up. "Damn it."

"What is it?" Oliver asked.

"I've been so wrapped up with the Black Canary thing I forgot to catch this perp Captain Pike has been trying to take down for months." Dinah said. "Being a vigilante and a cop at once sucks, I'll tell you that."

"I guess I'm not the only one walking between two worlds." Oliver noted as he and Dinah chuckled.

"Look, Oliver, I'm trying to honor Laurel's legacy but this isn't something I can do. I mean, it's not easy." Dinah said. "I'm a cop. Always have been, always will be. We all know, who the real Canary is."

Oliver considered and nodded.

"If you need me, I'll be there." Dinah said as they shook hands.

Sara entered Quentin's apartment as he was cooking with Laurel.

"Hey." Sara said.

"Hey, honey." Quentin smiled.

"Hi." Laurel said as she faced Sara. "Dad…" She cleared her throat. "Quentin and the rest filled me in on what you've been through." She took a breath. A while back, she would not give a damn about Sara or her father's doppelganger at all… but now… after how they treated her like a member of a family, she felt like she owed them. "How have you been?"

"It's been rough. But I'm fine. I appreciate the concern." Sara said.

Laurel took a breath. "Were you… were you and your sister… close?"

"Not really. At least before the Gambit." Sara said. "But when I came back… when I…" She swallowed. "Died. Twice… After that, we've started to grow closer to each other than we've ever been as kids. Sometimes I wish we had more time. But I was too wrapped up in my own guilt, grief and afraid of that darkness inside of me that I bailed on everyone, even when they were trying to pull me back from that edge. And every day I wish I could have made a different choice. I wish that I had stayed."

Laurel considered. "Me and my sister were close. At least until I lost my Ollie and became Black Siren. Then it was just one bad decision after another." She admitted, ashamed of herself.

"And now you're here, wondering if you've got another lease and second chance, to build a better life for yourself, than you had, right?" Sara asked and Laurel hesitated before nodding.

"I'm just not sure if I'll ever find my way." Laurel said.

"Maybe the reason you doubt yourself is that you've been so long in the darkness that you got used to being alone, keeping everyone who cares about you and who you care about at arm's length and that you kept running from whatever could have brought you back to the light because you felt you didn't deserve it." Sara said, although it sounded as if she was talking about herself.

"What's your point?" Laurel asked.

"Maybe it's time to stop running… and take a leap of faith. The people, who love us, they can pull us back from that edge… if you let them. And I don't want to run anymore. What about you?" Sara asked.

Laurel took a breath, hesitant before they both sat down. "Tell me about Laurel. Your Laurel. What was she like?"

Sara considered and took a breath. "Well, she was kind, compassionate, often very naïve and stubborn and short-tempered and reckless…"

Laurel chuckled, seeing the similarities as she was talking with Sara.

"I think playtime is over." Samantha noted as Oliver and William stopped playing the game on TV, putting down the controllers.

"Thank you." Oliver said as he helped Samantha clean the dishes.

Samantha nodded. "Oliver, are you sure about this? I mean, the Green Arrow meant everything to you."

"I trust that Roy can honor my legacy. This city will always need heroes but it doesn't have to be only me." Oliver said.

"I'm sorry." Samantha said.

"For what?" Oliver asked.

"For thinking that you couldn't be William's father. But you've done more than I could ever ask from you to do for him." Samantha said.

"If he needs me, I'll be there." Oliver said as he hugged William. "Be seeing you, buddy."

"Bye, Dad." William smiled.

A little bit later after Samantha and William left, Oliver was watching TV, when Sara entered.

"Hey." Sara said.

"Hi." Oliver said.

"How have things been with William?" Sara asked.

"As well as they can be." Oliver said as they sat down.

"A lot of things both of us have to figure out with our families, right?" Sara mused.

"Yeah." Oliver nodded as she sighed.

"Sometimes I wish I had stayed here." Sara said. "But… I had convinced myself I was better off fighting with my own demons alone, rather than let you help me. There have been nights, when I wish I had stayed. Maybe your Mom would still be alive."

"Slade said that you can't dwell on what might have been." Oliver said. "You shouldn't have too many regrets."

"I know. There are times, when it feels like lifetime ago and I don't bother myself with it. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and it hurts like hell." Sara said.

"I know. But you need to forgive yourself." Oliver said.

"That's what I keep trying to do every day." Sara said as he held her hand.

"That's because you've been trying to do things on your own. What I'm trying to say is, you don't have to be alone anymore, Sara. I'm here for you. I haven't given up on you and I never will." Oliver said as she turned to him. Neither of them knew who moved first but few moments later they neared their lips as Sara unbuttoned Oliver's shirt, while he took off her top and unclipped her bra as they laid down on the couch, giving into each other.

I hope you liked the arcs in this story. I myself have highly enjoyed writing this story until the end and I hope you have enjoyed reading it. Nowadays I have more Oliver/Sara plot bunnies rather than Oliver/E-1 Laurel or Oliver/E-2 Laurel but I still intend to write stories with Oliver with either of the Lance sisters.

At this point, I'm mixed about Dinah Drake. I kept an open mind around her in Season 5, despite that it was some lame attempt at appeasing the fans outraged about Earth-1 Laurel's death and what Felicity did with Black Siren in 5x10, which BTW was freaking stupid and Guggenheim's stupid Felicity pandering and I don't think she's worthy of being BC.

I think Dinah was a fine character in Season 5 but Season 6 ruined her with the revelation of her lover Vince being Vigilante and it's quite stupid that Dinah bought his bullshit regarding criminals, when Oliver had more or less set her straight in Season 5 and Season 6 also ruined her, when she tried to kill Black Siren and got Thea and Quentin into crossfire for killing Vince, when Black Siren had shown more redeeming qualities than Vince, such as regaining some of her humanity and growing fond of Quentin, unlike Vince, who showed almost no redeeming qualities, save for some double agent stuff which wasn't all that good, plus don't forget that Vigilante always disregarded collateral damage and getting civilians caught into crossfire.

Whether it really was Vince or not, after becoming the Black Canary, Dinah would try to stop Vigilante, whoever it was, IMO but her siding with Vince was more of the Oliver hate and stupid drama from MG/WM's side.

And I think it's a little dumb that Oliver would try to recruit a bloodthirsty vigilante out on revenge, while trying to talk her out on her vendetta, plus her joining Oliver's crusade freshly after ending her vendetta sounds a little stupid. Hasn't Oliver learned from what happened with Helena? * face palm *

Dinah seemed like an OK character though in Season 5 and at least the first half of Seasons 6 and 7, so I'm mixed about her, however, I wonder whether she would actually accept Oliver's offer freshly after she avenged Vince. While Oliver would offer to help her, I doubt she would quickly accept his offer and instead would go for some soul searching and self-healing like what Oliver and Sara have done.

Now, I am considering writing a sequel covering Crisis on Earth-X, since I'm not proud of my first take on the crossover, plus there are several issues I had with the actual crossover that I did not cover in the first version, since I had other plans for the sequels that did not work out with me fixing those issues.

Honestly, I think that Elseworlds, Crisis on Earth-X and Crisis on Infinite Earths are probably the worst crossovers in Arrowverse because of a lot of Oliver hate, fan-service and pandering, plus Oliver charging forward at the Shadow Demons in Part 1 of COIE and not giving him death scene was so stupid but I'll admit, at least they treated Oliver with more respect in the back half of the crossover but what was done to Kevin Conroy was an insult. Elseworlds I just didn't find very compelling crossover and there was some minor Olicity and WestAllen drama that annoyed me but not as much as in Crisis on Earth-X.

If I decide to write a sequel, it might take a while and I'll try to make COEX more realistic, so stay tuned.

So, what do you guys think?

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