《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 60

The fight between Green Arrow and Church did not last long, since it was quickly made clear who the superior fighter was.

"You're done Church. You made a mistake in trying to come to my city. This is my town and you will never get it." Green Arrow declared.

"It's funny you think that. I always get what I want." Church said.

"Then I hope what you want is a life sentence in Iron Heights, because that is exactly what you're going to get." Green Arrow said as he pulled out an arrow and after performing a few very impressive maneuvers, he sliced very specific locations on Church's limbs, causing him to howl in pain.

"What did you do me?" Church asked as he suddenly found himself unable to move his limbs.

"I sliced your tendons. You can't do much without those." Green Arrow said as he finally rushed over to where his mother was still being held.

"You're safe now ma'am." Green Arrow said as Moira looked at him right in the face and he could she recognized him, despite his mask and hood, but she didn't say anything as they heard sirens.

"The cops are arriving. Argus has already cleared the scene." Frostbite said and Oliver could tell that Moira recognized her to.

"Then so are we." Green Arrow said as he cut Moira free before he and his team got gone at the same time Quentin and the SCPD arrived.

"Mrs. Queen. Are you okay?" Quentin asked as he helped Moira up.

"I'll be fine. Just a little shaken up." Moira said, though it wasn't just the kidnapping she was shaken up by. She was beginning to realize just how little she really knew about her children anymore.

"And you're sure that mom recognized you?" Thea asked Moira after Oliver told them what happened at the lair.

"Positive. The way she looked at me, I could tell that despite my mask and hood, she recognized me and Thea, I'm willing to bet she recognized you to." Oliver said.

"Well then you two need to go do some damage control before we all end up in jeopardy." Laurel said and Oliver and Thea nodded as they headed out to get to their mother before she decided to reveal their identities to the world, since Oliver had already been outed once and considering the toll he'd seen that take on his family before, he had no desire for it to happen again.

Moira was not at all surprised when she was finally allowed to return home to find her children waiting for her, though not for the reason anyone was expecting.

"Walter, can you give us a few minutes alone please?" Moira asked her husband, who nodded as he left the three Queens on their own.

"So, when were you two planning on telling me that you were vigilantes?" Moira asked, deciding to just come out and make it clear that she knew.

"Not really sure. Honestly, I never even intended for Thea to get involved in this life either." Oliver said.

"Well, I think you both owe me an explanation." Moira said.

"I'm not really sure with where to start." Oliver said.

"Maybe you could start with why?" Moira asked.

"Because dad asked me to right his wrongs before he died." Oliver said.

"I thought that dad died on the Gambit?" Thea asked, since Oliver had never told her this tidbit either.

"When the Gambit went down, I dived in after Sara, to try and save her. Dad made it to a life raft with Hackett and he pulled me into it. When it became clear that there wasn't enough food or water for all of us to survive, dad pulled out a gun, shot Hackett and then told me to survive and right his wrongs before turning the gun on himself and he killed himself." Oliver said.

"Robert died to save you?" Moira asked.

"Yeah. Dad was a complicated man, I probably know that better than anyone, but he died to give me a chance to survive." Oliver said.

"And his bodyguard, Dave Hackett died to?" Moira asked.

"Yeah. I still need to tell Sam about that." Oliver said.

"Does anyone else know?" Thea asked.

"Laurel does. She's the only person I've truly been able to confide since I came home." Oliver said.

"So she knows then." Moira said.

"She does. And so do Roy and Sara." Thea said.

"Did Mr. Diggle know?" Moira asked.

"He did. He was a part of our team before he got a better job offer he couldn't refuse." Oliver said, though he did wonder if John was okay, since they hadn't exactly been in touch since he'd left to become a Green Lantern.

"Is there anyone else who knew before me?" Moira asked.

"Sara's girlfriend Alex knows and so does a new friend of ours, Winn Schott, who's become our tech hub." Oliver said.

"Okay then. Now, my next question is why the hell would you let your little sister get involved in this?" Moira demanded.

"Thea didn't find out until we rescued her and Roy from the savior, since that's when her powers surfaced. We brought her in so we could help her learn to control it." Oliver said.

"And tonight I found out where my powers came from." Thea said.

"Thomas." Moira said and Thea nodded.

"He knows who we are to and he told me that he's the reason I got my powers. Not sure how exactly, but I know I need to find out, since something tells me that it wasn't really him who attacked us. The way he spoke, it wasn't like when I go frosty. It was like I was talking to someone else entirely." Thea said, since honestly, all Frostbite is to her is a nickname. Nothing more or less.

"Maybe it's a side effect of whatever treatment he used to cure himself." Oliver suggested.

"Maybe. But mom, now I think we need to ask you something." Thea said.

"Will I turn you in?" Moira asked.

"Well will you?" Oliver asked.

"No. Honestly, I don't think a mother could be as proud of her children as I am now of you two. My children are heroes. It makes me think that despite all the mistakes I made, I did something right." Moira said as her children hugged her and they continued talking.
