Plastique

Bette was dying, I had to get her as far away from the city as possible. Looking down to see how long I had, I stumbled and started to fall. I froze the water as my head smashed into it. "Gah!" I stood up after a second and started to run back towards the city. A loud explosion rang out and I was sent flying forwards. "Isaiah!" I heard Caitlin yell through my comm link. "Cait, I-" I was cut off when I slammed into the ground hard enough to kill a normal person. "Isaiah!" "His vitals dropped!" Cisco said with fear in his voice. "No no no! Isaiah, please no!"

Flashback (2 Years Earlier)

I carried Skye to a hummer and helped her in. "Keep pressure on that wound." I said to her as I started the vehicle. "Where are we going?" "The only place I know that is safe for us." "Of course... Why do you even trust him? He hurt Jessica." "I have no other choice. As much I dislike him, I do trust him." I said in a serious tone.

I saw someone in front of the hummer. "Ah crap!" I swerved around him and stopped. I pulled out my handgun and opened fire. "Dude, it's just me!" "Where'd you get that armor? They only gave it to soldiers." "Let's just say I 'borrowed' from the nearest camp armory." I rolled my eyes. "I need your help with something." He looked into the hummer and grimaced. "Yeah, I know." "Yeah, I'll help you." I saw something about the size of a big rock fly towards the hummer, a rocket. Blue lightning pulled Skye out of the truck and then grabbed me. When he slowed down he held a rifle in his hands and shot in the direction where the rocket came from.

"Thanks for this Doug." I told him as he fixed Skye up with a scrap metal robotic arm. "Don't mention it, I did say robotics were my specialty. I rein-forced her arm with parts of the suit I stole." Her robotic arm wasn't any-thing special, it was a few wires attached to her nerve ending covered in a flexible Magnesium Alloy. It was wrapped in cloth and it had some kind of panel on the outside. "She'll have to power it up when she wants to use it. I integrated solar panels into the arm so it only needs sunlight." "Again, thanks." I said before lying down on a cot to get some rest.

Flashback End (Third Person)

Barry sped over to the area where the explosion happened, while Caitlin and Cisco drove in the STAR labs van. Caitlin sat in silence, holding back her sobs. She was afraid that she might lose Isaiah, she may put on the façade of hating him, but she does love him.

Barry sped back and forth along the shoreline where Isaiah's tracker showed he was. "Guys, I can't find him." Even hearing that, Caitlin still had hope.

Flashback (2 Years Earlier)

I woke up to Doug shouting. "Some soldier are outside, they're armored." "Perfect." I said sarcastically. "I'll hold them back. Get her out of here. Take my truck." He said as he tossed his keys to me. "Skye, wake up. We gotta go." She stood up and I grabbed my handgun. I helped her into Doug's truck and drove off. Last thing I heard was Doug cursing before my sight faded away into darkness. "Skye!"

I woke up to shooting. "You mother... Skye... Dammit!" Doug pulled me out and handed me an AK47. "We need to fight back!" Buckshot sent him flying back. I put the gun to my shoulder, ready to fire. I got thrown down next to Doug. "I'm gonna fight back, get to the U.S. Embassy. Show them how corrupt this piece of sh-" A soldier stomped down on his head. "No!" I grabbed the grenade Doug had in his hand. I pulled the pin and tossed it at a soldier. He caught it like a dumbass and I rolled away as fast as I could. The soldiers were blown backwards. I grabbed the AK47 and helped Skye up. Blood splayed out of her gut and I spun around to see the piece of crap himself. General Bronson.

Flashback End (Third Person)

"I think I see him." Barry said as he sped towards Isaiah. "Head back to the lab, I got him." Barry sped back to STAR labs and put Isaiah in the med-bay. Caitlin and Cisco rushed in.

Caitlin cut open Isaiah's suit to see his wounds. She winced. She pulled out the shrapnel from the explosion and he started bleeding worse. "CISCO! I NEED HELP!" Cisco ran in and put on a pair of gloves. Together they were able to stop the bleeding, sterilized and cauterized his wounds, and were able to clean his wound area.

Flashback (2 Years Later)

I stepped forward ready to kill Bronson. "You really think, that I would let you tell the Commander?!" "No, but I thought you would be smart enough to not confront me face to face." He stepped forward and I opened fire. He fell, blood pouring from his wounds. I dropped the gun and picked Skye up. I ran towards the Embassy. "Stay with me babe." I said, trying to keep Skye awake.

People in black robes were a few feet away. I had to be hallucinating. That was until the pulled out swords and ran foward. "Please, I don't want any trouble." They spoke to each other in a foreign language. Definitely not Pakistanian. Something ancient. Which was weird, because I under-stood what they were saying. "Ra's won't be happy. He might kill us and them." "He may help them if they help him." "Maybe." They gestured for me to follow them. We walked down to what looked like an ancient temple.

The man they called Ra's looked angry when I didn't kneel like everyone else. "Do you know who I am?! I am the Demon's Head! You will kneel before me!" "Yeah, like that'll happen." He swung his sword at me. I dodged, kneed him in the gut, and grabbed his sword. "Stop him!" Assassin after assassin charged at me. I swung the sword at the assassin closest to me. I kicked her back and swung at the next one. She had a bowstaff and knocked the sword out of my hand. She swung the staff at me. I caught it in my hand and kicked her back as the first assassin with the pauldron shot an arrow at me. It impaled my shoulder. I ripped it out and stabbed her with it. "Daughter/Nyssa!" Ra's and the assassin with the staff shouted at the same time. "How dare you come into my house and harm my daughter?!" I pulled out my handgun and pointed it at him. "You think a puny bullet can harm me?!" He laughed humorlessly. "Do you know how long I've lived?!" "I never came here to fight, I needed help. My wife is slowly dying." "And you think I care why?!" "You are a cold hearted son of a bi-" In a matter of seconds, I was lying on the ground, a sword piercing my gut, and blood pooled around me. "YOU WILL NOT COME INTO MY HOUSE AND SLIGHT ME!!!" I slowly bled out.

Flashback End (Third Person)

"He's flatlining!" Caitlin ran into the med-bay. A scar started to form across Isaiah's gut. "What the Hell? That's impossible. This scar is supposed to be gone! I remember his scars before the lightning, they were all gone." Caitlin said in shock "Unless he is losing his speed and ice powers." Cisco said worriedly. "Help me Cisco! Before it's too late!" "On my way!"

Flashback (2 Years Earlier)

"How are you not dead?!" "Because, I ain't going down without a fight." I ripped the sword out, adrenaline pumping through me, I swung at Ra's and he somehow caught the sword's blade with his bare hand. "Dammit." He flipped the sword so he could stab me through the chest and my back. "Father no!" The sword went through my chest and I fell back.

"He was just trying to protect her... like Sara..." "I don't care..." "Please... save them..." "He slighted me in my own house... deserved it... thinking he's all high and mighty... my house!!!"

I woke up to the sound of swords clanging. I sat up in bed and looked at Skye, she was still asleep. I walked around, looking for water. I ended up in the hall. "What are you doing?" Ra's spoke from out of nowhere, making me slightly jump. "Water." "Follow me." I walked next to him. "I only saved you because of my daughter. But next time you slight me..." He pulled out his sword and put it to my chest in one swift movement. "... I will kill you and your 'wife'." He said the last word as if it disgusted him. "Another thing, in order for me to not kill you, you'll have to work for me." "Okay?" I said wondering what he wanted me to do. "You and your wife will become assassins. You are now known as Al-Muh-Harib, The Warrior."

When I became an assassin, I didn't expect this. Everyday Ra's would say that Isaiah Gardner no longer exists, that I am now Al-Muh-Harib. He would keep me in a room, chained to a metal stake-like thing, until I said that. I eventually broke.

I stood outside and David was right there. "Isaiah, don't do this." I stabbed him in the gut and took his head off in one smooth swing. Next thing I knew, it wasn't David, it was an innocent.

Flashback End (Third Person)

Caitlin was going through the drawers at her desk and opened one of Isaiah's accidently. There was a small black box and a small piece of paper. She read what was on the paper.

I love you Caitlin, I always have, I never slept with Jessica, I couldn't allow myself. I knew that we still had a chance, if I die, I deserve it. I hurt you, if you find this, know that I never stopped thinking about you, I should not say I love you, I don't... I'm in love with you, I was going to propose but I hurt you, I don't deserve you. When I said Jessica is a Godess compared to any other woman, that's not true. You are a Godess, I'm probably going to end my misery, but know, I do love you Cait.

She started crying. Cisco saw the note and hugged Caitlin. "It's ok Caitlin. We'll figure this out, we'll stop him."

Flashback (20 Months Earlier)

The assassins with the bowstaff and the red pauldron ended up being that Lance girl who went missing about five years ago, and a Middle Eastern woman. They were the only ones who weren't hostile towards me and Skye.

They trained us everyday for the next few weeks. Ra's eventually sent Sara, Nyssa, and I, to destroy a military base nearby that was about to discover Nanda Parbat.

We broke into the base and killed any soldier that we came across. "Split up, regroup in front after you kill every-one else." Nyssa told us when we came to an intersection. I went right, Nyssa went through the middle, and Sara went left.

I sliced and stabbed any soldier who I came across. I walked down into the lab and saw a face I never wanted to see again. "Isaiah, come to finish me off?" General Bronson sneered. "Shut up." I knocked him out and went to the control room. "Nyssa, I found the launch room. I set the missiles to strike in five minutes, get out now!" I spoke into my comm and booked it for the exit. Bronson grabbed me and I swung my sword at him. He grabbed it and broke it in half. "What the in the Hell?!" "When they saved my life, they had to integrate me with a proto-type bionic chip. You don't stand a chance." I kicked him across the chest and he stumbled back and fell down the stairs. "Isaiah, get out now, you have 3 minutes." I ran out the door when Bronson pulled me back in and destroyed the panel to open the door.

He tossed me into a wall. "Isaiah! Get out! Hurry!" Bronson kept punching me. I tried to fight back when he knocked me out.

I heard explosions as I opened my eyes. Sara dropped me a few hundred feet from the base as Nyssa ran as fast as she could from the blast radius. "We have to go now!" Nyssa yelled. I stood up and ran in the direction of Nanda Parbat.

"What happened while I was out cold?" I asked Nyssa once we got back. "After he knocked you out he forced the doors shut. It took some struggle, but Sara and I got the door open. He wouldn't go down, I shot a poisonous arrow into his shoulder and he fell down the stairs, and Sara pulled you out as he got back up. I had to force the door shut as the first missile hit. I'm surprised that I even made it." She explained as we put away our bows, quivers, and swords.

I went to check on Skye, she was gone. I checked all of Nanda Parbat. "Where is she?!" I asked Ra's when I saw him. "Your 'wife' is fine, I just had a few assassins reinforce her robotic arm." I heard a female scream of pain. Skye's scream of pain. "What the Hell is going on?!" "You check on her and you will regret it." Ra's said in a dangerous tone. I wanted to check on her but decided against it. "Fine."

Flashback End (First Person)

I sat up in the bed in the med-bay. Cait walked in and hugged me tightly. "We need to talk." She said, holding up the ring box. "Look I'm sorry Cait, and I need to tell you something. I'm not going to prematurely end my life... But at the same time, we need space." She started tearing up. "Cait, all I'm saying is we need to have month or two apart. Not seperate. I love you and I always will." I gave her another hug.

A/N: Whoo! 2,416 words this is my longest chapter yet. I kind of used Arrow's idea with episode 1x14 'The Odyssey'. Using a near fatal injury to put in a lot of flashbacks. It helps move along my OC's backstory.

Does anyone want me to put all of the flashbacks together at the end of my version of this season?
