Something that had been nagging in my mind and I wanted to at least let it out and get it started. AU after 3x09, although the events with Brick will be the same until Oliver returns.

If you're surprised that Talia helps Oliver stop Ra's, well, if I recall, Talia is kind of on the odds with Ra's, she hates him for who he is as Ra's but loves him as her father, although I will lean onto the former and the reason why she is helping Oliver, will be explained soon.

Some things to get straight, I don't plan on making Felicity or the rest of the gang as annoying as they were in the show, although they won't behave well at first and Oliver will call them out on it before they come around. There might be a lot of bashing of Felicity but I'm not going to make her as bad as she was back in the show.

Not for fans of Olicity.

Oliver climbed to the mountaintop before reaching to the place where Sarab and Nyssa were.

"Remove your shirt." Sarab ordered as Oliver took off his jacket and then his shirt before going to the weapons stand, where he picked up two swords.

"I was eleven years old, when I killed my first man." Ra's said as he stood at the edge of the cliff. "I remember the look on his face, when the light went out behind his eyes. Such a sudden change, almost imperceptible. Between life and death. And I felt ashamed. I had stolen from that man the most precious gift of all… life. But I also felt something else." He said as Nyssa took off his cape. "Pride. Because I had taken up arms against someone who sought to do ill against my family. And I realized what I had done was necessary." He took off his shirt. "You see, I had replaced evil with death." Ra's turned around, facing Oliver, with one hand behind. "And this is what the League exists to do. And I have killed several thousands more men since then and the world is better off for it."

"You've taken your last life." Oliver sneered.

"No." Ra's shook his head. "You have lived your last day." He said smugly. "We are ready."

"I am envious of you." Nyssa told Oliver. "You will see her before I do."

"You're unarmed." Oliver pointed out as he neared Ra's.

"I'll take your blades once you're through with them." Ra's told him confidently.

Ra's punched Oliver, who wildly swung with his swords but Ra's dodged before he kicked Oliver in the leg as he grunted as Ra's got behind Oliver. Oliver rushed at Ra's but Ra's sidestepped and Oliver attacked again but Ra's managed to disarm him of one of the swords in his hands and kicked him in the leg, causing for him to kneel.

Oliver got up and attacked again but Ra's used his sword to block and he dodged and blocked all of Oliver's attacks before he kicked Oliver in the leg again as he knelt down. Oliver tried to attack once more but Ra's kicked him down. Oliver got up and tried to go for Ra's leg but Ra's jumped back as they fenced once more and Ra's grabbed Oliver by his hand before slicing him across his wrist. Oliver attacked again but Ra's effortlessly blocked and dodged without breaking a sweat before he kicked Oliver back and neared the sword to his throat, forcing him to the edge of the cliff. "You should take pride, you survived longer than most."

Oliver knocked Ra's sword away and disarmed him, forcing him to kneel down as he grabbed Ra's by his wrist but Ra's dodged and got up again, grabbing Oliver's sword by the blade before he poked Oliver in the throat as he choked out. Ra's stabbed Oliver in the hip and then hit him in the face, causing for him to kneel. "Don't be afraid, my son. Death comes for us all. We can only evade it so long. Consider this an honorable exit." Ra's stabbed Oliver in the chest as his mouth started to fill with blood and Ra's started to pray for Oliver in Arabic as Oliver's life flashed in front of him.

Robert was with Oliver in the cavern on Lian Yu, pleading him to right his wrongs…

Oliver and Moira embraced each other…

Thea hugged Oliver on the stairwell…

Ra's kicked Oliver off the cliff as he impaled the sword on the rock and walked away…

As Oliver's body was lying on the rocks below the cliff, a young woman in black cape approached him as she sighed. "Oliver, I'm so disappointed in you …"

When Oliver came to, he groaned in pain, touching his chest only to see that the wound where he had been stabbed by Ra's, suddenly wasn't there anymore. In fact, none of the scars he had received since the Gambit, were on his body anymore.

"What… how…"

"You're lucky I found you in time." A familiar female voice with an Eastern accent said as Oliver turned his head to see a woman with dark brown hair and wearing black leather suit. "The cold did help as well for me to nurse you back to health."

"Talia…" Oliver said, not understanding. "What—"

"I have been following you since I've heard about Miss Lance's demise." Talia explained. "I must say, you've lost the sight of who you once were. If it hadn't been for that fact, you would have killed my father. Truth be told, I wanted him dead many times. He died the moment he tasted the pit the first time. Every time he returned, he had become more crazed, more hateful, losing the sight of who he once was."

"Father?" Oliver asked, not understanding.

"I never told you my real name back in Russia, did I? It's Talia al Ghul."

"You're Ra's al Ghul's daughter." Oliver realized.

"And Nyssa's older half-sister." A familiar voice said, much to Oliver's surprise as he widened his eyes to see…

"Sara? But… you're…"

"…dead? I suppose we're both too stubborn to die." Sara explained.

"What… how…" Oliver was lost for words, still delirious.

"Well… it's a long story, Ollie." Sara explained.

"What are you doing here?" The Canary asked, not understanding before to her shock, Thea fired three arrows in quick succession, shooting Sara in the chest as she stumbled back and the next thing she remembered, was falling into the abyss…

She felt nothing but emptiness… endless abyss… no sounds… no light… just silent desolation of darkness… suddenly, she saw light, something pulling her towards it. She didn't know why but she felt drawn towards it as she felt arms holding her hands, pulling her back…

Sara was pulled back from the pool of emerald liquid as she felt her chest fill with pain, like if her lungs were full of sand as she gasped for air and she fell down on the ground, shaking around, screaming, like a feral animal in pain, cold on her bare skin as Talia held her arms, holding Sara down, who was screaming ferociously and felt pain on her chest and in her neck, her throat on fire as she coughed out the liquid, yet she could feel rejuvenated but she had to cough it out of her lungs and fill it with fresh air as Sara coughed out until she breathed out normally and then she trembled, feeling cold on her bare skin, realizing she was naked before someone put a blanket around her.

"I know it's not easy to come back like that. But deep breaths… it'll pass."

Sara looked at the woman, who was helping her, the accent same as Nyssa and the facial features similar…

"You… you're…" Sara was lost for words. She knew who it was but right now, her mind was puzzled, memories and thoughts scattered around, confused, since the last thing she remembered was Thea… suddenly she stepped back and curled to the ball, naked as the blanket fell off her.

"It's alright. It's alright." Talia assured her.

"I… I… I'm dead… I was dead…" Sara said, confused.

"You were supposed to die. Yet… I believe that fate has other plans for you and Mr. Queen." Talia said as Sara widened her eyes.

"What?" Sara asked.

"There are many things I need to catch you up on." Talia explained.

So, what do you guys think? Is it good? Is it bad? Should I continue?
