//Quick AN//

Do from the lack of comments in the last chapter, I have concluded that you all hated it. *cry* ahaha just kidding. Anyways, so I always have a plan for my chapters but sometimes change them and get a little off road causing me to not write! Dun DUn DUUUUNN!

So I had a plan for this chapter, BUT! Have totally changed it to get you off your seats. I apologize for how bad the last chapter was and hope this one will make up for it.

-------

Time. A glorious thing.

Although, I've noticed something.

"Three seconds!" The guy in front of me yelled. "Just hang on for us okay? You're gonna be alright." He assured patting my leg. I couldn't see his face my his voice was deep, he's approximately 22 perhaps. I rest my head against his shoulder and grip around his waist. We were on a motorcycle going faster then we should making me really scared.

"Slow down Roy, you're scaring her." Another guy said. The guy in front of me, driving the motorcycle, was wearing red leather and the other guy who said I was scared was wearing green leather.

"I'm-I'm not scared." I lied letting go off him-I mean Roy. I think that's his name.

I panicked. We were going too fast and I felt unbalanced and hold back onto Roy.

"It's okay, we're going to get you back to normal." The green guy told me.

I squeezed my eyes shut for a while not identifying the movement but when I open them I was laying on a metal table with people around me. I leaned onto my elbows to help me sit up.

I looked at the four faces. I was really scared.

"It's okay, Hope, we're gonna help you." A guy sayid He had the same voice as the red leather Roy, guy.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" I yelled softly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm Roy." The Roy guy explained. "That's Oliver, Digg, and Felicity." Roy pointed to them.

I nodded slowly. "I still don't know you." I stated.

"Gosh what happened?" Felicity asked. Oliver took her aside so they could talk.

"So how do we know each other?" I asked.

"We...uh, work together." Roy said hesitantly.

"Doing what?"

"Catching bad guys."

"So being a vigilante." I caught on.

"Well-uh-" Roy started before I cut him off.

"And that's what I do everyday?" I snapped. He nods. "What the Hell! I'm wasting my life away suicidally!" I yelled frustrated with my poor decisions before getting up to leave.

"Wait, you can't leave!" Roy yelled.

"Yeah, why not?" I snapped.

"'Cause you don't have any memories." He says.

"Well last time I checked, this was America and I have freedom here!" I slammed the door behind me.

Oliver's POV-

"She just needs to cool off Roy." I told him.

"What if she gets lost? Or mugged? Oliver the Glades aren't exactly a good area for her to 'cool off'." Roy sneered.

I sighed knowing he's right.

"I'll take her home." Digg said getting up.

"Thank you." I whispered.

Half an hour later Digg came back.

"She's going through an existential crisis." Digg whispered to me.

"What's that?" Roy asked rubbing a towel over his head. Hey, we could get a good work out in thirty minutes.

"It's when you pretty much doubt everything that you stand for and just want to drop to the floor and die." He explained.

I scrunched my eyebrows. Never had one of those before.

"Uh-Most teenagers have an existential crisis these days. Heck, I had one at that age." Felicity admitted.

Roy looked confused at the three of us so I waved the conversation away.

"Felicity, do you have anything to get Hope back to normal?" I asked hopeless.

"Not yet, I'll start looking." She said and I nodded.

I watch Roy walk to the bar. I follow him.

I see him leaning on a rail.

"Hey." I whispered. He nodded acknowledging me.

He cursed. "Why do these lights have to be so bright at this time of night?" He snapped. It was only ten at night, but the lights were bright. Which gave me an idea.

"Roy, you might be on to something." I smiled and we rush back down stairs.

"Felicity, what if we shined a bright light onto her, I did it when Flash had lost his temper so would it work with Hope?" I asked.

Her face lit up. "It might!" She cheered. "I'll see if I can get some up on the computers, go get Hope for me." Felicity said while turning back on the computer.

"Okay." Roy nodded and we start off to her house.

It was a quiet ride.

Hope's POV...again-

I sat in a corner of my room with my door locked.

"What am I doing with my life?" I asked myself for the 50th time.

Maybe I shouldn't be a hero, I don't seem like the person who would fit the profile. I thought to myself. My brain ached as I tried to remember things, but nothing popped up only pain.

I sighed band the window opens. My head jerked in the direction and I saw the green and red hooded guys....uh Oliver and Roy maybe.

"Get out....please." I begged in a whisper.

"Does your head hurt?" Roy asked like something similar to this has happened to him before. I nodded slightly.

"Still can't remember anything?" He spoke shyly.

"Why, am I dating you?" I snapped.

"Uh..no."

"Oh." I said almost sad.

He laughed, "Come on we're going to get your memories back." He said giving me a hand, helping me stand up.

I took it.

"You found a way to get my memories back?"

"Might have found a way." Oliver corrected.

"Oh..." I trailed off.

"It's worth a try." Roy says then we head back over to secret room.

"These computers are going to flash some lights that will hopefully get your memories back." Felicity explained showing a control on the computers.

She clicked her mouse, then Roy, Oliver, and Felicity put their back to the computers.

Lights started flashing some colors, hurting my eyes.

Felicity asked, "so can you remember anything?"

I tried to think of my childhood, but nothing, "No." I stated bluntly.

"Maybe take it up a few notches?" Roy suggested. She nodded and did so.

Lights started flashing off in a specific pattern. I caught on. I started remembering all my bad memories first; my parents dying, being made fun of, being punched, being shunned, getting turned down by a guy I liked, getting turned down by jobs, disappointed faces, dropping out of school, and losing all my friends. Then my better memories come; coming to Starling City, getting an apartment, taking justice into my own hands for the first time, seeing Green and Red Arrow, making my Blue Arrow suit, trying it out, finding out who the Arrow was, and becoming part of the team.

Then I remembered why I wanted to be a hero, but I always know that I will never be good enough.

"Hope?" A distance voice snapped and faces started coming into focus. I saw Felicity, Roy, and Oliver in front of me and I smiled, starting to tear up,

"Good to be back!"

They sighed in relief then laughed.

"It's good that you're back." Oliver nodded.

I took a deep breath in before picking up my bow and arrows to practice.

"Practicing already?" Roy asked.

"I need to be ready when I go out to the streets." I said and looked at Oliver who nodded in approval.

I remembered what happened. There was a new villain out in the streets, he has a machine to erase people's memories, but we have a Felicity. She can do a lot of stuff with computers.

"We'll get him Hope. We will get him." Oliver promised.

"And we'll make sure he doesn't do this to anyone else." I agreed.

"You're right."

"Thank you, all." I whispered.

I saw Oliver nod and he walk off.

I bounced a tennis ball then aimed an arrow the watched as the tennis ball slammed against the wall with an arrow through its center.

I repeated my actions, going into thought.

Like I' ve said, 'Time is a glorious thing,' but it goes by so quickly. Think about your age. it's been that long sense you were born, but it doesn't feel like.

A day goes by quick. An hour goes by fast and three seconds speeds along.

So spend your time wisely. That's what I've learn, do what you love, you might get an existential crisis along the way, but everyone figures it out because even heroes doubt themselves. I admit to you though, am no hero. am an ordinary citizen helping other people from evil. am not special, but all are.

Time my friends, is unfortunately something that cannot be bought.

But it is something I know how to spent now
