"Where the hell are we? What is this place?" The detective demands looking around. He notices his daughter.
"Greetings to you all" a voice over rings out.
Everybody is surprised at the sudden sound and begin to look around wondering where it came from.
"No point looking around, this is an intercom , I'm in a different room" the voice of what sounded like a female said.
"You do know you just kidnapped a lot of people including a police officer right?" Joe asked indignantly.
"No need to get angry detective you haven't been kidnapped, you will be returned to your homes when we're done, but for now please introduce yourselves" the person said.
"Guess we don't have a choice. I'm Detective Joe West, Central City Police Department" Joe said.

"Who are all these people" Oliver thought.
He knew Quentin, Thea, Laurel and all the others, but Kara, Alex, Barry, Cat, who were they.
"Hey you in the shadows come on out I know you're there" the person over the intercom said.
Everyone was taken by surprise when six individuals came out of the shadows.
"I am Ra's al Ghul" R'as introduced himself.
Most of those present didn't know what that meant, but Malcolm, Talia, Oliver, Waller and Lyla's eyes widened.
"Nyssa al Ghul, daughter of R'as al Ghul, Heir to the Demon" Nyssa introduced herself with pride.

"It's me, I'm alive" Sara said as she hugged her father and sister.
"I am Sarab" Sarab or Maseo Yamashiro said as he removed his mask and hood.
"Maseo!" Tatsu exclaimed as she ran to her husband and embraced him with Maseo hugging his wife back before pulling away.
Everyone then looked to Oliver and Talia.
"I suppose it is our turn" Talia thought.
"I am Talia, daughter of R'as al Ghul, sister of Nyssa" Talia introduced herself.
"Daughter" R'as said surprised at the sight of his wayward daughter.
"Sister" Nyssa said just as surprised.
"Hello father, Nyssa" Talia said in greeting.
"I'm" Oliver began to say but stopped before turning around.
Talia walked over to him and held his hands.
"It's okay beloved, it's okay" Talia said soothingly.
Oliver nodded before turning back around.
"I'm Oliver Queen" he said pulling down his hood.
"Oliver" Thea said with tears in her eyes before running over and embracing her brother.
"My sweet boy" Moira said joining her daughter in embracing her son.
"Olly, your alive" Sara said tearing up herself before joining the embrace.
They remained like that for some time before breaking apart. Waller then walked over.
"Good to see you again Oliver" Amanda said with a grin on her face.
"It's not good to see you again" Oliver said with a fierce glare.
"Oh come on, you can't still be mad at me, I did make it up to you after all" Waller said with a teasing grin on her face recalling that specific memory.
"Perhaps we could discuss this later, after all I would like to know about my beloved's lover" Talia said with a grin sent Oliver's way.
"Talia!" Oliver exclaimed mortified.
Talia just laughed while Waller grinned.
Everybody who knew Oliver wondered just what was going on and how he knew these people.
"Oliver my friend, so good to see you again" Anatoly said walking over to Oliver.
"Anatoly, glad to see you're still kicking" Oliver said as he embraced his friend.
Tommy then came over and embraced Oliver too.
"Glad to know you're alive dude, I've missed you" Tommy said.
"Same man, same" Oliver replied.
"I see you're still breathing kid, guess I'll have my chance to kill you after all" Slade said with a malicious grin.
"Not if I kill you first you son of a bitch!!" Oliver roared about to charge Slade when Talia, Tatsu, Maseo and Sara held blocked his way.
"Let him go beloved, he's not worth it" Talia said.
"Now that you all know each other, please take your seats as you'll be seeing it soon" the person over the intercom said.
"Seeing what?" Sara asked.
"The life of Oliver Queen" was the answer.
Oliver paled as he took a seat next to Talia with Anatoly, the Yamashiros, Waller and his family on either side of him. Everyone else took there seats.
"We're going to see what happened to Olly while he was gone?" Thea asked.
"Yes and what he'll do afterwards" the intercom replied.
"Damn it to hell" Oliver said.
"Looks like everyone will know everything about you my friend" Anatoly said with a grin.
"That's what I'm afraid of" Oliver said.
"What Is he talking about" was the general thought of almost everyone in the theater.
"Get ready everybody as you all witness the life and times of the Arrow" the person over the intercom said as the screen began to turn on.
