Luna, now nearly unrecognizable compared to the last time she had been there, exits the Starling City airport. She has only a backpack with a few things in it. She had not even been supposed to be on the plane. She had been a stowaway. Her training had taught her well. Luna was wearing dark blue jeans, a black tank top with a leather jacket, combat boots and a plain baseball cap.

Luna could barely believe that she wad back in Starling, but it was where Sara had wanted to go and Luna figured having her to fight against the League with would be beneficial.

A few days later, Sara is at the Queen mansion with Oliver when they ae attacked by Al Ow-al. After the attack, and after Oliver leaves, Sara lets the remaining two know that she has something she has to go do. She leaves before anyone can ask her what.

Luna was at the clocktower when Sara and Oliver were attacked. She was attacked as well, but was able to incapacitate her attacker long enough to get away. Once she was a good enough distance away, Luna took a burner phone out of her pocket and called the only number saved in her phone.

Once she knew that Sara has answered her call, she says, "They're here."

On the other end, Sara responds, " I know, they attacked me, too."

Luna swears under her breath and asks Sara what their plan of attack is. Sara told Luna a place to meet up.

At the suggested meet up spot about fifteen minutes later, Sara and Luna are talking.

"I have a..friend who knows what happened. He can help," Sara tells Luna.

"But will this friend want to help us or just you?" Luna questions.

"I'm not quite sure," Sara replies honestly.

And Sara leads Luna right back to Oliver's base, knowing Oliver might just kill the both of them.

Sara and Luna enter the Arrow Cave and as soon as Diggle sees Luna, he grabs his gun and points it at her.

"Sara, behind you!" Diggle shouts.

"Wait, it's okay!" Sara shouts back.

"I am not here to harm any of you," Luna adds,

"And just who the hell are you?"A new voice then speaks up.

Sara and Luna both turn to see that Oliver has returned, as well. Sara sighs, unsure of how things are about to go.

"Oliver, this is Luna. We left the league together. She's actually from Starling, as well. I know you're not happy with her being here, but the League is after her, too, and she can help. And we need all the help we can get" Sara explains.

Oliver is not happy but he knew that there wasn't much he could do. This Luna knows who he is and that he is Arrow, which means he needs to be careful.

He turns to face Luna and says, "You betray any of us-."

Luna interrupts him before he can finsih, "You would never find me again. But I swear that I shall not harm any of you."

Sara cuts in."Ollie, please. Trust me," she pleads.

"Fine," Oliver responds, still very wary of Luna.

"Have you found any trace of the League?" Luna asks.

"Maybe. Spectro analysis of the dirt from your house had trace amounts of Aldicarb in them." Felicity says, walking over to her computer and sitting in the chair in front of it.

"What?" Oliver questions her, keeping Luna in his peripheral vision.

"It's a pesticide. Starling City used to have its own Aldicarb plant, but per the EPA, it was shut down three years ago."

"What's it being used for now?"

"Nothing. It's abandoned. But my guess is, it's home base to one League of Assasins assassin."

Luna stands up as Sara walks over to Oliver. "He will kill you," Sara says.

"Like you, I'm not that easy to get rid of." Oliver replies.

'This is our fight," Sara argues, gesturing to herself and Luna.

"He made it my fight when he came into my house. And when he threatened somebody that I care about." Oliver says.

"Sara, you will not convince him to stay, so let us go and get this over with," Luna says, speaking up.

At the abandoned plant, Oliver shoots an arrow at Al Ow-al, only for him to catch it.

"Arrows. Such an ineffective projectile. I find it strange anyone still fears them, " Al Ow-al taunts.

"I'll show you why..if you don't leave Sara Lance and Luna Hawthorne alone. This is your only warning, " Oliver replies, hidden in the shadows.

"And it would be effective were you to pose a threat to me. You barely defeated Malcom Merlyn at nearly the cost of your own life. What hope would you have against the man who trained him?" responds Al Ow-al.

"Helps that I didn't come alone," Oliver responds.

Luna and Sara appear on the balcony behind Al Ow-al. Luna has a long-sleeved black nylon shirt with padding and long black pants of the same material. She also wears red and black gloves as well as black combat boots with red accents.

Al Ow-al turns to face them and says, "The child of Ra's Al Ghul awaits your return, both of you."

"I'm not going back," Sara responds.

"And neither am I," adds Luna.

"That's not your choice. I have orders to return the both of you alive or dead." Al Ow-al says/

"You're not going to kill us," Sara replies.

"You overestimate your importance. Regardless, the both of you will be coming back with us," Al Ow-al says.

"Us?" Oliver questions.

Al OW-al turns to face Oliver once more, " Like you, I did not come alone."

Several more members of the League of Assassins appear from the shadows.

Oliver, Sara, and Luna quickly assess the new threats. Sara and Luna fight with their bo staffs while Oliver fights and shoots arrows.

Eventually, Oliver leaves on a grappling hook arrow, along with Sara and Luna.

"If you will not return willingly, you will stay to bury your families," Al Ow-al calls after them.

Back at the arrow cave, Oliver is stitching Sara up, while Luna does the same for herself.

Felicity comments on the fact that neither of them are even flinching.

"Pain and I came to an understanding few years back," Sara responds.

Luna just stays silent.

Oliver walks over to Diggle and they talk quietly for a moment.

Then, Oliver turns to Luna and asks, "Do you know where your family is?"\

Luna replies, "To me, Al Ow-al's threat was empty. My mother left years ago, my father died from alcohol poisoning and my sister..she was shot in a drive by. I have no one."

Oliver nods and then looks to Sara, "We need to protect the Lances, I'll take Laurel."

"What can I do?" Sara asks.

"Nothing, You're hurt and you need to stay here," Oliver replies.

Luna stands up and says, " I can watch her father."

Oliver looks at her and says, "No. I don't know you, and frankly, I don't trust you."

Luna holds her hands up in surrender, saying nothing.

"I'll go talk to Detective Lance," Felicity says.

"Tell him he needs to get out of town for a couple of days," Oliver commands.

Sara turns to look at Felicity and says, "Please don't tell him about me."

"I can keep a secret. Just ask him," Felicity replies, referring to Oliver.

Sara nods and Felicity walks away. Oliver leaves as well.

"You three are quite the team," Sara comments after turning to face Diggle.

He just sighs and says, "We have our moments."

Sara walks over to Luna and they talk quietly for a while and then just sit in silence.

Later on, Felicity walks back into the Arrow Cave.

"Hey," Felicity says, looking at Diggle.

"How'd it go?" he asks her.

"Badly. He either didn't believe me or didn't take me seriously," Felicity says before pausing, "In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have led with League of Assassins. What do we do now?"

After a few seconds, Sara walks over and goes to grab her jacket.

"What are you doing? Oliver told you to stay put. I thought you didn't want your father to know you're still alive," Diggle says.

Turning around towards the exit, and Diggle, Sara says, "I don't, but it's better than him not being."

Luna walks over to her and asks quietly, "Do you want me to go with you? There is safety in numbers."

"Thank you, but this is something I have to do alone," Sara replies.

Luna nods, "Very well."

Diggle then stands up and readies his gun.

"Where do you think you're going?" Sara asks him.

"With you," Diggle replies curtly, "I'm not gonna let you go out there without any backup."

"Dig, you may be a three tour special forces veteran, but I was trained by the people that make the special forces look like a kindergarten class. So step aside or get put down," Sara tells him firmly.

"It's your funeral, Sara, " Diggle tells her.

"It wouldn't be my first," Sara replies, walking out.

Later on, Felicity gets a call from Oliver, letting her know that Al Ow-al had been in Laurel's apartment, but had left, meaning his target was Sara's father.

Luna immediately grabs her mask and bo staff, leaving her regular clothes on as she doesn't have time to change completely. She asks Felicity where Sara and her father are and immediately goes after them.

Luna races to the clocktower where Sara and Lance are. When she arrives, she can hear gunshots and the sounds of fighting. She rushes in to aid Sara. Right after she reaches them, Oliver crashes through the window. Oliver and Luna both jump into action, fighting the assassins, along with Sara. Oliver and Luna finish fighting, only to see as Sara kill Al Ow-al. She goes to other assassins and begins to kill them, as well. Lance is horrified and Oliver tries to convince Sara there's no need to kill. Luna just stands in silence, knowing that what Sara is doing is necessary.

Sara ends up not killing the second assassin, telling him, "Tell Ra's Al Ghul that my family is off limits. His quarrel is with me." She then throws the assassin backwards and he jumps out of the clocktower.

Luna quietly leaves, knowing that Sara is safe. When Lance asks Sara about Luna, Sara simply tells him that she is "a friend."

And once Sara and Luna met up, they leave Starling City once more. 

Luna's Viper outfit looks like this, except with long pants. Her shoes are also combat boots, unlike in the picture. Also, her gloves aren't fingerless. I had someone draw this for me a while back and envisioned her outfit a bit differently then. This art is not by me. The artist is @/bloomistryingtheirbest on Instagram.
