Oliver had found a boat docked on the shores of Lian Yu and inside he found a terrified William. "Who are you?"

"Hey, hey. I'm not gonna hurt you, buddy. I'm not gonna hurt you." Oliver assured and William's eyes lit up in recognition.

"You visited my mom last year. Who are you?" William asked.

Oliver took a breath. "I'm your father."

William stared in shock.

An hour later, A.R.G.U.S. operatives arrived, apprehending Adrian, Bullseye, Yelena and Mary, while Oliver drove the boat back to the shores of Lian Yu, reuniting Samantha and William, who were relieved.

"Mom." William said.

"Honey." Samantha said, relieved as she hugged him tightly.

"He's a little in shock but he'll be fine." Oliver assured before he looked at his team and allies. "Thank you for help. All of you."

"You need us, we'll be there." Steve said as he, Steele, Logan, Frank, Luke, Jessica, Danny and Colleen offered their hands.

"I'm always up to kicking asses of shitheads like Chase." Jessica chuckled.

Matt and Natasha hugged each other tightly. "How many times have I told you to never put yourself at risk like that again, Nat?"

"You know me better than this, Matt." Natasha said.

"We've apprehended Adrian Chase, Mary Walker and Bullseye. What are we going to do with them?" Rick said.

"Mary isn't evil. She just needs help." Danny pleaded.

"I'm not sure we can help her." Colleen argued.

"Either way, we're not going to lock her up with them." Matt pointed out.

Later, Adrian was put in the cell in the island prison, strapped to a chair in a glass cell that restrained his movement, the same with Bullseye.

"So, I guess you won. Your friends and family are safe. Why don't you come kill me? I know you want to. I know you better than you know yourself. You're a monster." Adrian taunted.

"No. I just let you get into my head and that's a mistake I am not going to make, ever again. And even if I wanted to kill you, I'd kill you because you're a monster hurting innocents that has to be stopped at any cost. Just like your father was. And if I was a monster, I'd kill dozens more people and I've killed only, when I had to and never an innocent, unlike you. You just want someone to be as sick and twisted as you, so that you don't feel alone." Oliver said as the smile vanished off Adrian's face. "Like I told you, you will live the rest of your miserable life in a cage, away from anyone else, knowing that I beat you. It's over, Adrian."

The smile vanished off Adrian's face as Oliver turned around before Adrian was filled with relentless rage.

"This is not over, Oliver!" Adrian yelled madly. "You think this place is going to stop me? I will get out and I will show you how everything you touch, dies! Everyone you love, will pay for your sins, one way or another!"

Oliver left as Adrian glared at him, shaking violently to free himself but the electric shocks stopped him from attempting to struggle out.

"Don't you dare turn your back on me!" Adrian yelled. "Oliver! Oliver! I will get out and I will show you how everything you touch, dies!"

Oliver closed the door, ignoring Adrian's incoherent insane shouting before climbing up and closing the hatch.

"Are you really my Dad?" William asked as Oliver checked in on him and Samantha.

"Yes. I am." Oliver said.

"You kept visiting us back in Central City last year." William remembered. "Why didn't you tell me you're my Dad?"

"Because I told him not to. And looking back, I realize it was a mistake." Samantha said gently.

"No. You did the right thing." Oliver said. "William, you know now that I'm the Green Arrow. And I think you realize it's a complicated and dangerous life and your mother and I were trying to protect you from it."

William nodded, understanding. "So, what happens now?"

"I don't know. But I think we can try to work things out." Oliver said.

"I think that's fair." Samantha acknowledged.

A.R.G.U.S.

When Mary woke up, she was restrained to a bed as Danny checked in on her. "Hey, Mary."

"Danny?" Mary looked at him but she was… different from how she had been the whole time.

"Who am I talking to now?" Danny asked.

"What… what happened? What have I done?" Mary asked, terrified of what her alternate persona might have done.

"Well… I think you should lay down." Danny advised as Mary listened, wondering what her alter-ego had done.

Later, the Loft

"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 before looking apologetically. "I'm sorry."

"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. "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."

"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 keep trying to do things on your own. Don't do this on your own. I'm always here for you." 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, kissing fiercely.

Matt's apartment

Natasha had gone out from the shower, wrapping the towel to cover her breasts as she saw Matt on the couch, contemplating.

"Are you alright, Matt?" Natasha asked.

"How many times are we gonna have to face the demons of our past? I kept telling myself that I'd rather die as the Devil than live as Matt Murdock." Matt said. "But… no matter what I do… something comes back to haunt me. I'm trying to let go but…"

"…it's not easy, is it?" Natasha teased. "Maybe you should stop dwelling on what you could have done and start living. Really live again. How about you and I went out for coffee? Perhaps that'll help you."

"You really think a coffee will fix things?" Matt chuckled.

"Well… baby steps." Natasha shrugged as she held Matt's hand and he smiled before Natasha got dressed and they went out. Another chapter of their life was put behind them. It was time to start another one. One without their pasts holding them back.

New York

Peter Parker was in the basement of Aunt May's house before he found a box. "Aunt May?"

Aunt May looked down and her eyes widened. "Ah. I almost forgot about that box. It was your Dad's."

"What's in it?" Peter asked.

"It's something from when he was a scientist in OsCorp." Aunt May said.

Peter found an old tape and put it into the TV in the basement as he saw his father on the screen and Peter's eyes widened. He hadn't seen the face in years but it felt like yesterday as he looked at the screen.

"Hello, Peter. If you're seeing this, that means that I'm dead. And… I'm sorry I wasn't there for you to see you grow up into the good person I'm sure I would be proud of. But I'm sure that Ben and May are taking good care of you. With great power comes great responsibility. And… I failed in my responsibilities, Peter." Richard Parker looked away, ashamed. "I've done something terrible. I wanted to do some good. I wanted to help people but I trusted the wrong person. People are dying because I made a deal with the Devil. I just didn't realize it until it was too late. And… I'm sorry I'm handing the burden to you but you need to finish what I started."

Peter looked at his father's notebook and found some formulas and something that read 'VENOM'.

OsCorp

Norman Osborn entered a secret lab, where his son Harry was in suspended animation in a stasis cell. "We were so close." Norman leaned his hand onto the glass. "But I'll keep trying. I will find a cure. I will. I love you, son." He was on verge of tears as on the glass on the other side appeared some black ooze, mimicking the handprint of Norman's hand on the glass.

Deep space

Thor and Loki observed outside the Statesmen as Loki considered. "Do you really think it's a good idea to head back to Earth?"

"Yes, of course. The people of Earth love me, I'm very popular." Thor chuckled.

Loki took a breath. "Let me rephrase that. Do you really think it's a good idea to bring me back to Earth?"

"Probably not, to be honest." Thor admitted. "I wouldn't worry, brother. I feel like everything is going to work out for us."

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of the Statesmen and Thor's and Loki's blood ran cold as their ship faced a giant warship.

So, considering the last scenes, I think you can guess what are the next stories going to be about but the first one is going to be a bit shorter before I end up doing Infinity War story but for now I'm gonna take a break from the series and focus on my other stories.

I would also like to thank my good friend Aragorn II Elessar for his permission to write the sequel and continuing the series "The Devil and the Hood" and I hope you have enjoyed this story a lot, buddy.

Stay tuned for the sequel.

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

With regards
