## ***Returning to Star City***

***Duncan would Return to Start City a few months after the undertaking, and would create a Group That followed a Code based upon the League of Assassin's own Honor Code. Despite feeling Bitterness towards Ra's for choosing a Man who ultimately betrayed the League's Honor, over him, someone who was his first Loyal Horseman, he Held no ill will towards His Daughter Nyssa, with whom Duncan had been Infatuated with after she had gone through the League's Trials of Adulthood. He would ultimately take on the Identity of the Shadow Archer, and make a public Statement over the Cities Emergency Broadcast system, revealing his Intention to Protect the City in the Ways, the Arrow never Could. He also said that Like Malcom Merlyn, he was once part of an Organisation that had protected the Planet's People for Thousands of years, but when Malcom betrayed the League's Code of Honor, and it's Principles, he had also Disgraced the Organisation. He went on to further state that he Would lead his League of Shadows in a Crusade against those who would Undo the Good work that the Arrow and his Team had done.***

***When Nyssa Arrived in Starling City in search of Sara Lance, she met with Duncan, asking for his Aid, in return for Serving Ra's Once more. Duncan Agreed to Serve Ra's, but only if he could continue to lead his League of Shadows, and in Starling City. After Nyssa Released Sara from the League he would Converse with both the Arrow and Nyssa. He told the Arrow that as long as he had no other choice but to take a life, he would support him, unless he took a life without a Choice. He later informed Nyssa that he looked forward to Seeing her Again and the two shared a Passionate Kiss before Nyssa Departed to Nanda Parbat.***

***When Slade Wilson's Army Launched an Attack on Starling City, Duncan Would Personally engage with the Mirakura-Enhanced Super-Soldier's, while his Shadows defended and helped Innocents to escape.
