So, here is the final chapter, thank you to everyone for your support. And for those of you who have read the original work, the ending is significantly from the first time, as you'll see.

Ellie Bishop: Glad to hear it. I agree, Roy and Thea are one of the more better written relationships in the Arrowverse. Them agreeing to get married in the finale was one of the things I liked about it.

Agent N: Thank you. Yep, he did. Oh no kidding, it was just stupid and pretty clear to everyone with a brain that Arrow's best days went up in smoke with Lian Yu.

Guest: Glad you enjoyed it. Oh no kidding, but the writers have admitted they depend on Oliver being an idiot in order for the plot to work.

Lian Yu

Afternoon

Oliver stood on the beach, looking out at the scene of Adrian, surrounded by Argus agents. Clint had managed to raise the Comms on the plane and get in contact with Rick, who had flown here with several Argus agents. Oliver had made Clint take William with him and the others off the island to the nearest Argus base. However, Laurel, Roy, and Thea had opted to stay with him, Barry, and Slade, help with the cleanup. Although Oliver privately thought at least Roy and Thea just simply didn't trust Slade.

Oliver was brought out of his musings when Slade approached him.

"Well, looks like we won kid. So…what happens now?" Slade asked bluntly.

"I was about to ask the same question," Rick asked as he walked over, eying Slade suspiciously. "If it were up to me, I'd throw you back in your cell…but I'll trust your judgement on this Oliver."

"Slade had multiple chances to betray me and didn't. The fact is, without him…this would have turned out a lot differently," Oliver said and Rick nodded as he turned to Slade.

"Alright. You're free to go, but I've got my eye on you. The moment you give me a reason to think you're a threat, you will end up right back here, best case scenario," Rick threatened and Slade nodded in understanding.

"Fair enough," Slade acknowledged.

From the corner of the beach, Thea watched Slade with suspicion. Something Roy noticed.

"You look at him any harder, you might burn holes in him," Roy said dryly.

"If only. How are you so calm, after what he did to you?" Thea asked as she looked over at Roy.

"Because I know what it's like to be high on Mirakuru. From what Oliver told me, Slade was an honorable man before the Mirakuru. So far, I can't say I disagree," Roy noted as he eyed Slade thoughtfully. "I know what he did…but as someone who did things they had no control of, you shouldn't judge him for what he did on Mirakuru."

"How are you doing with that?" Thea asked gently as she looked over at him.

"I'm…dealing. I don't think I'll ever completely forgive myself for what I did, even if it was Savitar pulling my strings. But instead of letting it destroy me, I'm going to make up for it. I'm gonna be the best hero I can be," Roy said and Thea smiled.

A little later, Adrian woke up in a cell, lying on a cot. Adrian got to his feet and saw Oliver standing outside his cell.

"So, I guess you won. So, now that no one's in danger…what's stopping you from opening this cell and killing me?" Adrian said and Oliver gave him a blank look.

"I'm not the man you think I am Adrian. I didn't kill your father because he was a name on a list, I killed him because he was a sociopath who didn't care how many people he hurt if it got him money," Oliver said and Adrian scoffed.

"You're a monster Oliver, I know. I know you better than you know yourself," Adrian sneered but Oliver shook his head.

"No Adrian. You just want there to be someone as sick and twisted as you so you don't feel so alone. But I'm not a monster Adrian, I'm not like you. So I'm putting you somewhere where you can't hurt anyone ever again. You, Evelyn, Carrie Cutter, and China White are going to spend the rest of your lives here, where you can't hurt anyone ever again," Oliver paused, looking Adrian directly in the eyes. "Goodbye Adrian."

Oliver turned and started walking out as Adrian stared after him in complete disbelief. Then, once he caught up with what Oliver said, he was suddenly filled with.

"You think this is over? I'm going to show you how everything you touch dies! Everything!" Adrian said crazily and Oliver paused.

"No you're not. This cell held Slade until the Mirakuru wore off. It'll hold you to. Welcome to purgatory Adrian," Oliver said as he opened the door.

He walked out, closing it behind him. Ignoring Adrian's crazed, incoherent ranting, Oliver made his way out of the prison and onto the shores. While the others were already waiting for him on the plane, Laurel was still on the beach.

"So, what happens now? I mean, the Green Arrow is still public enemy number one, especially after he attacked the DA and his police escort," Laurel pointed out as he reached her.

"I think I have a plan for that, but I'll need to call in a few favors," Oliver said as he looked over at her. "Do you trust me?"

"You know I do," Laurel said without hesitation and Oliver nodded.

"Okay, I'll explain on the way back," Oliver said as they neared the plane.

Argus base

Later in the afternoon

Logan was sitting in the infirmary, having changed out of his damaged suit into jeans and a black T-shirt. Hearing someone approach, Logan turned his head and saw Quentin.

"Hey. How you doing?" Quentin asked and Logan shrugged.

"Fine, just needed some time. That girl was nothing special, Laurel's screams hurt a lot more," Logan said and Quentin nodded. "Did you want something?"

"Yeah, Laurel said she knew you," Quentin mentioned.

"And you wanna know how," Logan guessed and Quentin nodded. "I'm from Earth-2, just like her. I met her around ten years ago, shortly after she moved to Central City. I ran a gym, she wanted to join. We were close until the accelerator went off."

"What happened?" Quentin asked as Logan got quiet.

"She was angry after what happened to her, that humanity discarded her like trash. I tried to help her…but some people don't wanna be saved," Logan said and it was quiet between them until Rene walked in.

"Hey, they're back," Rene told them.

The three of them journeyed to the hanger bay, where a plane had landed. Rick, Oliver, and the others were getting off as everyone met them. Oliver quickly noticed the absence of several individuals. Something Clint picked up.

"Nyssa said she had something to take care off and Castle took off not long after we got here," Clint said and Oliver nodded, not really surprised.

"Where are Samantha and William?" Oliver asked.

"An Argus agent took them to a room. Although you might want to change out of that before you go see them," Diggle said and Oliver looked down at his suit.

After changing into some regular clothes, Oliver made his way to the room his son and his mother were in. As he opened the door, Samantha was sitting on a bed, stroking William's hair as he lay on the bed, his head in her lap. She looked up at Oliver as he closed the door behind him. She gently nudged William and he sat up, looking at Oliver with new eyes.

"That man, he said you were my father. Are you?" William asked and Oliver sighed.

"Yeah, I am," Oliver admitted.

"I remember you. You used to come to our house in Central City. Why didn't you tell me who you were then?" William demanded.

"William, that was my fault. I told Oliver if he wanted to be in your life, he couldn't tell anyone he was your father, not even you," Samantha said gently and William looked up at her, confused.

"It was the right choice," Oliver said, taking mother and son by surprise. "William, as you've seen, my life is very dangerous. I wanted you to be as far away from this as possible, to have a normal life. I'm sorry that my life wouldn't let you have that."

"So…what happens to us now?" William asked as Oliver and Samantha exchanged a glance.

"I think it's time we stop fighting each other over what we want to do with our son…and talk it through," Samantha said ad Oliver nodded.

"I agree. We'll work out a custody agreement that works for us both…then go from there," Oliver said and Samantha nodded in agreement.

"So, you decided to put on the suit after all," Lyla noted as she walked up to Roy.

"Yeah, Clint helped me get my head on straight. He's good at that," Roy said and Lyla nodded.

"So I hear. I also hear he offered you a place with The Avengers," Lyla said and Roy grimaced.

"He told you about that, huh?" Roy muttered and Lyla nodded.

"He also told me you turned it down," Lyla said and Roy sighed.

"I thought about it, a lot, but it just…it didn't feel right. What I'm going through, it won't be solved by running away from my problems," Roy said.

"No one ever solved a problem by running from it," Rick said as he walked over. "How are you really doing Harper?"

"I know I should feel better now that Savitar is gone…but I don't. I just feel…like I still have so much more to make for," Roy said and Rick nodded.

"Report to me Monday morning at eight o'clock sharp. We'll see what we can do," Rick said as he turned around, pausing before looking over his shoulder. "Welcome aboard, Agent Harper."

As Rick walked off, Roy looked confused.

"What just happened?" Roy asked as he looked over at Lyla.

"I think you just got a job at Argus," Lyla said, smiling in amusement at Roy's face.

Lyla walked off, leaving Roy musing over this development.

"So, you gonna take it?" Thea asked as she walked over to Roy.

"I don't know. It'll definitely be better than trying to keep a low profile, sleeping with the cockroaches," Roy mused.

"I feel like I should have been there for you," Thea said and Roy looked over at her. "Is that too presumptuous?"

"No, it's not," Roy quickly assured her. "There are times I wish you had been. A lot of times…if I take this job, I'd probably be in Star City a lot. I could …drop in every now and then."

"Or I could meet up with you every now and then, between missions," Thea said, leaning close to him.

Roy took her face in his hands and pulled her into a kiss. Oliver walked in and saw them, smiling slightly at the scene.

"Well, at least one good thing came out of this," Diggle said as he walked over to him, eying Roy and Thea.

"Yeah. You okay?" Oliver asked, noticing that Diggle seemed a little nervous.

"There's something I want to talk to you about," Diggle said and Oliver gave him an 'out with it' look. "JJ, he's pretty shaken up by what happened. Lyla, we've been talking and…I can't do this anymore Oliver. He's scared to let either of us out of his sight and I can't put my son through this."

"So you're leaving," Oliver said knowingly and Diggle nodded.

"Not just the team, the city," Diggle said, taking Oliver back. "Lyla and I, we need a fresh start somewhere."

"I get it John. Sometimes, I wish I could just walk away," Oliver said in understanding.

"You wouldn't be you if you did," Diggle said and Oliver smiled slightly.

"Where will you go?" Oliver inquired and Diggle shrugged.

"We'll figure that out as we go along," Diggle said before holding a hand out to Oliver. "Thank you Oliver, for everything."

"I think I'm the one who should be thanking you,' Oliver said before he took Diggle's hand. "Good luck John."

"You to Oliver," Diggle said. "You'll need it with the way things are."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Oliver said with a secretive smile.

Laurel walked up to Logan, a little nervous.

"Hey," Laurel said awkwardly and Logan noticed she was uncomfortable.

"You okay kid?" Logan asked and Laurel sighed.

"I just…I wanted to say thank you. You came here for me, despite everything I put you through. I probably didn't deserve it after what I did to you. So, thank you," Laurel said.

"You never have to say that. Whatever you need, I'm here for you kid. Because the truth is, you saved me," Logan said, taking her back. "Before you came along, I had cut off all ties to the world. I wasn't really living. You brought me back to life kid. So, thank you."

Laurel, not sure what else to say, hugged him. Logan returned the hug, simply glad they had finally put the past behind them.

City Hall, next day

Morning

Oliver stood in front of the reporters. He had called this press conference, because the mayor and DA going missing after the DA was attacked had certainly been a huge scandal. And it wasn't about to go away anytime soon. So, Oliver took a deep breath before speaking.

"Good morning. I know you all must have a lot of questions about what happened with DA Chase. I'm here to answer them," Oliver before a reporter interrupted him.

"Mr. Queen, where is DA Chase?" he asked and Oliver smiled tightly.

"If you'll all please allow me to, I can answer all your questions," Oliver joked and a few reporters laughed before Oliver grew serious.

"Over the last few weeks, I have been working closely with the CIA to determine the identity of the Throwing Star Killer. We have recently learned that his true identity…is DA Chase," Oliver announced and could hear the reporters glance at each other in shock. "Adrian Chase has been secretly using his position as DA to turn our own legal system against us. He's committed multiple crimes, including the abduction of Star City News' own Susan Williams; who was then placed in the CIA's protective custody, and the murder of his own wife to cover up his secret, which he then blamed on the Green Arrow.

"Adrian Chase took much from us. He took our security, our government, our trust, and used it to his advantage. Let's not let him take anything else from us. We took a tremendous step forward yesterday when the unified efforts of the CIA and the Green Arrow were able to apprehend Adrian Chase and all his accomplices. And we will continue to make steps forward to make this city a better place, for our future and for our children."

Oliver and Thea's loft

Night

That night, at the loft, everyone was throwing a celebration. Everyone was there; Logan and Quentin were discussing something over beers, Club Soda in Quentin's case, laughing like they were the best of friends. Roy and Thea were on the couch, sitting across from Rene as Rene and Roy engaged in conversation, reflecting on growing up in The Glades. Diggle and Lyla were talking to Samantha, attempting to give her the 411 on what to expect from this life. And in the corner, Oliver and Laurel were having an important conversation.

"So it's over then," Oliver noted, not surprised.

"Yeah. This, it's not working. I knew it the moment we kissed," Laurel said sheepishly.

"So did I, I just didn't want to accept it," Oliver noted.

"I don't think either of us did," Laurel admitted and he nodded. "When I look at you, as much as I try not to...I see my Ollie."

"And when I look at you, I see my Laurel," Oliver said with sigh. "So you think we tried to recapture what we had with them?"

"Yeah, I think we did. But we're not them," Laurel said and Oliver nodded.

"So friends then?" Oliver offered and she smiled.

"Friends," Laurel agreed.

Suddenly, everyone stopped as they heard a knock on the front door.

"We expecting anyone else?" Curtis asked.

"Not that I know. You didn't invite Wilson did you?" Quentin asked as he looked over at Oliver, who shook his head.

"No, Slade said he was going to look into the Intel I gave him on his son," Oliver said.

Wearily, Quentin walked over to the front door and opened it up, surprised to see who was on the other side.

"Hi Dad," Sara said with a smile.

"Sara, baby," Quentin said happily, hugging her before pulling back. "I thought you were on a mission."

"I was, it's over now," Sara said as she walked inside. "I thought I'd been away from home long enough."

As Quentin closed the door behind her, everyone greeted her happily. As she stood back a little, Laurel caught the look on Oliver's face as he looked at Sara. It took her a moment to place it: It was the same look her Ollie used to have whenever he looked at her. This was going to be interesting, Laurel thought as she began to smirk.

"Welcome home," Laurel greeted as Sara walked over to them. "You planning on sticking around for a while?"

"Yeah, I've been away for too long. Besides, I'd like to get to know my sister," Sara said and Laurel smiled.

"I'd like that," Laurel said and Sara nodded.

"Hey Ollie," Sara said as she looked over at him.

"How are you?" Oliver asked with an unreadable look on his face.

"I'm home," Sara said simply.

I'm sure that ending is going to cause some controversy, to put it lightly. But while I'm open to the idea of Oliver/Earth-1 Laurel, Oliver/Earth-2 Laurel is pretty much just a redound from at least Oliver's end, whether that be from Felicity or Laurel. And, to be honest, I never intended when I restarted this for the relationship to last beyond this story. I originally had Oliver/Laurel still together at the end and planned to have them break up off screen in a later story, but then the Laurel fanatics started pulling the same crap they did that made me decide not to write for Oliver/Laurel in the first place. Makes me feel a lot less bad about doing this.
