《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 12
Advertisement
Laurel couldn't help but notice the change in Oliver the more she learned of what he'd been through on the island, since he'd promised no more secrets between them when they started dating again. Something they'd decided to keep quiet for the moment, since their relationship was still in the experimental stage and they weren't sure if it was going last and also because despite being the Green Arrow, Oliver was positive that her father would kill him if he found out they were back together. They'd also refrained from sleeping together again until they were sure that this was real. The only person at this point who knew they were back together was Oliver's bodyguard John Diggle, who Laurel knows Oliver was planning on bringing into the fold soon, she just didn't know when.
Anyways, Oliver had also begun working on setting up his own nightclub in the Glades and Laurel had to admire him for trying to help the Glades by creating more job opportunities, since he'd also told her he was talking to his mother and Walter about establishing programs in the Glades to help people gain training to help find work, in order to further help the Glades and now Laurel was pretty sure he'd end up winning the humanitarian of the year award soon.
Anyways, Laurel was watching the news about James Holder's death and since she knew that was a name on Oliver's list, she decided to call him.
"Hey, what's up?" Oliver asked.
"Hey, I just saw the news about James Holder's death. Was that you?" Laurel asked.
"No, that was not me. I was confronting him last night, but someone crossed him off before I even had a chance. I'm looking into the shooter now." Oliver said and he could practically hear Laurel sigh in relief.

"On another note, I promised my mom I'd be there for the family at the Unidac Auction and I was wondering if you'd be interested in being my date." Oliver said.
"What happened to keeping things on the downlow?" Laurel asked.
"It's your call, but I think I'm ready to let people know we're together again, but only if you are." Oliver said.
"I'll think about it." Laurel said.
"Let me know when you've made up your mind." Oliver said.
"Will do." Laurel said as she hung up.
Oliver was currently doing research into Floyd Lawton, since he knew that Holder had been killed by Deadshot. He knew that Lawton was a tricky one, since even though he was a killer, at the same time, he also saved Lyla's life Markovia, that didn't change the fact that he was still dangerous. Besides, he needed a way to bring John into the fold. Killing the man who supposedly killed Andy was the best way to do that.
Anyways, Oliver was currently planning on going after Deadshot, since this also provided an opportunity to start bringing Felicity into the game, since he had to admit, while they may not have been a great married couple, they did work well together in the field.
Anyways, Oliver was working on Lawton, since he'd gotten confirmation from the Bratva that Lawton still used the same apartment he had before when his phone rang.
"Hello?" Oliver asked when he heard a familiar voice over the phone.
"How soon can you get to Star City?" Oliver asked as the person on the other end of the phone call continued speaking.
"Great, see you soon." Oliver said when he hung up, thinking that person would definitely help him bring John in.

After snagging the laptop from Deadshot's apartment, Oliver found himself walking to a familiar cubicle.
"Are you Felicity Smoak?" Oliver asked.
"That depends, who's asking?" Felicity asked and Oliver smiled, since she still had that snark.
"Look up from your screen." Oliver said as Felicity did exactly that and she stuttered at who was standing there.
"Mr. Queen, I'm so sorry." Felicity said, quickly panicking, but Oliver just chuckled at her.
"Relax, just call me Oliver and all is forgiven." Oliver said and Felicity nodded.
"Okay then, Oliver, what can I do for you?" Felicity asked.
"Do you think you can salvage any of the data on this?" Oliver asked, holding out Lawton's computer.
"What happened to this?" Felicity asked, taking the bullet ridden computer.
"Let's just say I was in a less than savory part of town. Took a few bullets. Any chance you can retrieve the data on it?" Oliver asked.
"I can try. I'll let you know if you can come up with anything." Felicity said and Oliver nodded.
"Let me know." Oliver said.

Stranger than Fiction (Draft Edition)
Rewrite -> https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/55140/stranger-than-fiction 150k words of rewritten and new content, updating 3 times a day. Faith is like ice-cream. It comes in all flavors. Greek, Norse, Sumerian, Christian— just name it and it's there. Adventures, on the other hand, are like credit cards. The first taste is free, but the price only goes up from there. Family heirlooms, now those are true evil. You get burdened with them for sentimental reasons even if they’re icky. For Lukas Aguilar, it was a pendant. A small, weird metal nib with absolutely no vampiric tendencies. All he wanted was to finish the job at hand, and get on that book he had been postponing for a while now. Instead he got served with an apocalypse for breakfast, a cave full of eldritch monsters for the company and the whims of a ruined goddess for his To-Do list. Really, a simple NO from the universe would have sufficed. Acknowledgments Editor-in-Chief: Solo Starfish Artwork: Exodus

Contains Alcohol use, Drug use, Gore, Profanity, Smoking, Violence.Rated [D] for Drama. Contains emotional themes, interpersonal relationships, and character development. Author's note: You are reading a first draft, written mostly while drinking cheap whiskey. Expect it to read like hot garbage and I guarantee that it’ll meet your expectations. I’m a storyteller, not a writer - there’s a huge difference between the two professions. IMPORTANT! This story is told in a first-person limited, conversational style, with Emmett occasionally breaking the 4th wall and addressing the reader directly. This means that YOU and Emmett may have absolutely no idea why stuff is happening, because there will be little or no exposition or other POV's. Read the comments for spoilers, ask questions if you want to know something.This work incorporates blended aspects of Xianxia, Wuxia, Super powers, and Western Magic into a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure. It is none of those things and all those things, mashed together. The MC is Over Powered, but so are many, many others. He just hasn't met them yet. Dear Student, What follows is an adaption of the diary of Emmett Carter before his Ascension. While the decades during and after the Aurora Apocalypse are lost to us, the Ascended himself has allowed us to publish this work so long as we warn the reader that it may not be entirely accurate or present an unbiased viewpoint of the events. One should also note that the Aurora was in flux during that time and some things that were possible in the early days are no longer possible, especially with the advent of the Akashic record. Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers. If you’ve ever been in a natural disaster, had a house fire, witnessed a murder, lost a loved one to violence, or have a strong opinion on the sanctity of life, please do not read this. It contains dramatic scenes of a world in the throes of an apocalyptic event. There are no rainbows and unicorns, only loss, uncertainty, and death while the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. Updates Thursdays and Sundays for now. Word count is about 2000 ~ 4000ish per chappie.
