"I fucking hate it here!" I yelled pacing back and forth. Shado stayed silent. I sighs. "I just want to see Tommy. Hell, I wanna see that sorry excuse for a father."

"You don't talk about him. Your father. Only Tommy. What of both of your parents?"

"Mom was murdered. Shot. My dad stopped being a father after that. I took care of Tommy and he did the same for me." I sigh and sit down.

"We will get out. I promise." Shado says. I nod.

Starling City

Oliver and I stand at Tommy's door. Well, not exactly. More like right next to his door. Making out. I giggled. "Okay, now we have to go in." I say.

Oliver groaned and I shook my head. I knocked on the door. Tommy opened the door. "Hey guys!" He hugs both of us.

"Happy birthday Tommy!" I smile.

"Happy birthday man." Oliver says.

Laurel walks over. She give is both hugs. "Hi." she says to Oliver. "Hey." she greets me.

"Hi." Oliver says..

"Hey." I say with a small smile.

Tommy grabs champagne and pours some for everybody. "Toast. To the first birthday that I have enjoyed in a long time. I got my best friend and sister back. And... I have finally figured out why poets have been in the business for the last few thousand years." Everyone chuckled.

"Happy birthday, baby."

"Thank you."

"Cheers." We all say before drinking. Then we hear a knock on the door.

"I think that's the food." Laurel says.

"Oh, ok." Tommy says as she leaves.

"Oh, thank god, she didn't cook." Oliver says.

"Amen." Tommy says. I chuckled.

"Mr. Merlyn." Laurel says.

"Laurel. May I come in?"

Oliver and I walk over. "Oliver. Caitlin."

"Mr. Merlyn."

"Dad."

Tommy walks over. "I've been trying to get in touch with you." Dad says to Tommy.

"What are you doing here dad?" He asks.

"Happy birthday, Tommy."

"Just give us a minute." Tommy says. We all walk away.

"Jeez, this is one paranoid assassin. Barerra's got cobalt-level encryption on his phone. It's not gonna be easy to break. But codebreaker is my middle name. Actually, it's Megan--'' Felicity rambles.

"Felicity, can you get anything off of it?" Oliver asks.

"Just the last number he dialed."

"And?" I ask.

"A restaurant in China town. A Jade Dragon. I guess even hired killers enjoy the citie's best chow mien." Felicity answers.

"Yeah, Jade Dragon Is a front for the Chinese Mafia. Call the restaurant, make a reservation for two tonight. You need to decrypt that phone." Oliver says before walking off.

"I'm kind of in the mood for Chinese now." Felicity says. I chuckle.

I stood at Dad's award ceremony when Oliver called. I answer. "Yeah?"

"Do you have your disguise?"

"What? Uh yeah actually. Since we were suppose to go out later. Why?"

"Because your father is the target. I'll be there soon." I nod and leave.

As we walk through the halls we see a  man and China White with Tommy and Dad. "Why do you want Malcolm Merlyn dead?" Oliver asks.

"I'll settle for you." She fights Oliver as I fight the man.

As we fight I kill the man and Oliver is about to kill White when McKenna aims her gun. "Freeze! SCPD." Oliver throws an arrow at the wall that releases smoke and we run.

We walk into dad's office. We see him passed out on the ground. Tommy turns and aims his gun at us. "Stay back."

"We aren't here to hurt you it your father." I say, my voice disguised. We both walk closer our hand up.

"I said stay back."

"Curare." Oliver says.

"Don't come any closer."

"He's been poisoned. An assasin laces his bullets with curare. We've dealt with it before. We need to dilute the poison in his bloodstream." I explain.

"I said stay the hell back!"

"I'm three minutes he's paralyzed. In four minutes, he suffocates. If you don't let us help now, he's dead before anyone gets here!" Oliver explains.

"Help. How?"

"Fresh blood will buy him time." I say.

"A blood transfusion? That's insane!"

"It's the only way! He needs your blood. You're out of time. You need to make decision right now." Oliver says.

"Why should I trust you?!"

I look at Oliver. He nods. I look back at Tommy and I take my hood off. Oliver does the same. "Because it's us. And you always have." I say.

Tommy looks shocked. "Oliver. Caitlin."

"Ok. Ready?" Oliver asks.

Tommy holds his arm out. "Do it."

"Hold his arm." Oliver tells me. I hold my dad's arm.

"Come on dad." I mumble. Oliver continues to work.

"You're the vigilante. Why?"

"That's for later okay? He still needs medical attention."

"Ok. Thank you." We both stood up and left.

"So how's it feel to save a one precenter?" Diggle asks us when we get back.

"He's gonna be okay. He's at Starling General." I say.

"Good thing he was wearing a bullet proof vest." Diggle says.

"He's not in the hospital because he was shot. He was poisoned with curare." Oliver sighs. "Lawton's alive. I'm sorry, John." John walks off.

"This Lawton kick his dog or something?" Felicity asks.

"Killed his brother." I answer.
