《Specter of Oliver Queen》Chapter 14
Advertisement
Laurel, Sara, and Quentin were sitting at a table in the kitchen getting a snack.
"I can't believe Ollie made it through everything that he has. I don't know if I could have done it." Laurel said.
"I think you could have. You just have to keep everything that you are trying to get home to on your mind all the time. It makes it so that you know what you are fighting for." Sara said.
"I can't believe I am saying this but when Queen gets back, I think that I am going to have to forgive him for everything he has done, because he seems to be a better man now despite some of the things I have seen in these videos." Quentin said.
"Just wait until you find out where I have been. Ollie's stuff will look like nothing compared to that." Sara said.
"Really, I have a hard time believing that." Laurel said.
"You'll see. Anyways, I am headed back to the video room. Are y'all ready?" Sara asked and they nodded.
As soon as they returned to the room the video started to play. It started off with Oliver chasing a man on the roof tops and as was trying to catch the guy he somehow tripped up and feel off the roof and was tangled in some rope. As he was trying to get free a familiar face walked up to him. It just happened to be Waller.
Later the two were at a bar having a drink. "I was hoping that I would see you again Oliver. I didn't know what would happen to you in Hong Kong." Waller said.
"I have a feeling that you have something that you want me to do." Oliver said.
"Actually, I am surprised that you didn't go home to your family and friends." Waller said.
"I can't go back there. I am a monster, and they don't need that around them." Oliver said.
"So, you are just going to be a vigilante in another city then?" Waller asked.
"I guess so. It will keep me from corrupting my family and friends." Oliver said.
"Well, I would like to wish you luck. Let's have one more drink before we go our separate ways." Waller said as she and Oliver drink out of the glasses that were in front of them.
Oliver started to feel weird and he passed out in the floor. When he finally woke up, he realized he was in a plan. A man gave him a parachute and walked him to the back of the plane. When the door opened Oliver looked down and saw something he hoped to never see again. Lian Yu.

"I am going to kill that bitch when I get home. She will be the first on my list." Sara said.
"Waller wants you to become a part of the group that is on the island right now and report back to us." The man said and then he pushed Oliver out of the door with his parachute and a bag with a computer in it.
Once he landed a man came up from behind him with gun pointed at him. "What are you doing here?" the man asked.
"I have been on this island for three years now. I just happened to see your group and I was going to go ask for help." Oliver said.
"Bullshit. I saw you parachute down here. So, tell me who you are, and I won't shoot you." The man said.
The man got close enough to put the gun up to the back of Oliver's head, which allowed him to grab the gun and fight the man until Oliver was able to get behind the man and snap his neck.
"Ok, now to find the way to get into this group." Oliver said to himself.
Oliver had an idea, so he picked up the guy and moved him over to where he knew some land mines were and dropped him on it. A few minutes later another man came to the area and found Oliver.
"What happened to the other guy and who the hell are you?" the man asked.
"Your friend stepped on a land mine and it went off and I am Oliver Queen and I have been stuck on this island for three years." Oliver said.
"Ok, so let's go back to the camp and we will let the boss decide what to do with you." The man said and Oliver nodded.
Once they got back to the camp, Oliver was taken into a tent who he could only think belonged to the boss. The boss turned to the other man who was in his unit and asked, "So, what is going on here?"
"I found him near where we heard the explosion. He said he has been trapped here for three years. When I got there, I found one of our men dead. It looked like he stepped on a land mine." The other man said.
"I happen to believe this man. I have seen the news. I know who you are Mr. Queen and I know that you were shipwrecked three years ago. I can get you home, but I seem to be down a man. I will get you home if you help me with what I am doing here.

"I can live with that." Oliver said and the other man lead him out of the tent so that Oliver could get cleaned up a beat.
The next time Oliver is seen he had his hair cut short and he was wearing what looked like military clothes. He was walking around with a gun keeping an eye on the people who were working in the fields. One of the workers fainted because of the heat and Conklin as he was known made the other people get the man up and put him back to work.
A woman got up and said, "He needs to rest. He can't keep working like this."
"I don't care if he fainted. He is here to work for us so he will continue to work until we say so." Conklin said and everyone got back to work.
Later on, in the day something happened in the field and it caused everyone to gather around. "Someone stole something from the fields, and we can't figure out who it is." Conklin said.
"Ok, everyone line up I have a way of finding out who did this." The boss Reiter said.
"Ok, tell me who stole some of the plants and everyone will live. If you don't, I will shoot someone until the responsible party comes forward." Reiter said.
No one move to say anything, so Reiter shot a man that was right in front of him. He gave them another chance and this time the woman from earlier stepped forward and said that she had stolen the plants.
Reiter was about to shoot the woman when Oliver stepped forward. "Why don't you let me do it since I have to prove myself to you and I know some good place to take her where the body will never be found." Oliver said.
"Ok Mr. Queen, I will let you do this, but you will take one of the men with you to make sure she is dead." Reiter said and Oliver nodded.
The three of them were walking through the trees when Oliver looked at the woman and told her to run. She followed him and the man that was behind him stepped on a land mine and blew up.
Oliver took the woman to the cave that he and Yao Fei lived in and left her there but before he left, he said, "I am going to have to make it look like you are dead, but you won't be. What is your name anyways?" Oliver asked.
"My name is Taiana." Taiana said.
"Ok, so I am going to choke you out. Your heart rate will be really slow, but once I prove to them that you are dead, I will wake you up." Oliver said and Taiana nodded as Oliver put her in a choke hold and left her so that he could go and tell Reiter that the job was done.
When he got back to camp Reiter asked where the other man was. "He stepped on a land mine and he blew up. The woman is dead though." Oliver said.
"Don't you think that it is weird that ever since he showed up, two of our team members have stepped on land mines?" Conklin asked.
"Ok Conklin, you go with Mr. Queen and see that this woman is truly dead." Reiter said and Conklin and Oliver left to go and see the that the woman was dead.
When they got to the cave they walked in and Conklin saw the woman lying in the floor. He walked over and checked for a pulse and didn't feel one. "Well, it looks like you are not a liar after all, Queen." Conklin said.
After Conklin walked out of the cave Oliver turned to Taiana and did his trick and she woke up. "I will come and check on you every so often." Oliver said and she nodded.
While Oliver was in the cave, Conklin had a look around and found the computer that Oliver had hidden. He looked at the screen which said I have become part of the group. Conklin picked it up and took it back to the camp and showed it to Reiter.
"Well damn, that doesn't look good for Ollie." Tommy said.
"I bet he finds some way out of it." Sara said.
"I think I have to agree with Sara on this one, because how is he supposed to get a computer if he has been on the island the whole time." Laurel said.
"I hope you are right, because I am tired of seeing Ollie get hurt." Thea said.
"Me too Thea, me too." Moira said and then they went on to continue watching the video.

Game Changer - Day Dreams
The greatest foe that man shall face lies within himself: his own mind. It can contort the world around him and make friends seem like enemies. Most often times we cannot see these delusions for what they are, the daydreams and the nightmares; and worst of all the crushing despair that cloys all we do and makes it seem for naught. One such soul in the depths of his own despair met an untimely end, but with his dying breath he made a plea, a plea to live. And so it was a being, neither human nor god or anything inbetween chose to save a life out of pity. But it did not understand the consequences of its actions, the changes a single life could bring. Like a pebble dropped into an ocean, first a ripple, then a wave, and soon all the lands of the world would be drowned before its might... So begins a new life, in a new world. While those who once knew him call it a game he calls it home. Now the question will arise, how far will he go to defend it.

8 184The Dog with a Chair
As of now, this story is dropped. It was an excellent learning experience, but the quality suffered too much from me trying new things for me to continue in good concience. Thanks to anyone that read it. I'm leaving this story up as a record of my first ever attempt at publishing something I've wrote. To any new writers out there, remember that even if the stuff you write is trash, you can still learn a lot from writing it. - November 17th 2020 Guy gets involved in advocacy for civil engineering projects, then gets pulled into an interdimensional war. Third person with a focus on one main character (Stanley) with the occasional point of view from another character important to story progression. Writing style tends to shift early on as I figure out how to write (this is my first book). Still learning, hoping to improve. Current style choice is to have a focus on character dialogue/actions with interspersed internal monologue in italics. No current end is set for the story, with the primary goal of this project being to learn to express myself in a written format. Storyline is kept as consistent as practical while covering things I find interesting. Governmental systems are mentioned, but not explained in extreme detail. Sci fi elements are used to reinforce and guide plot progression as I'm able. Personal goals belonging to each character are in the process of being developed, with the hope that they will support or oppose each other in interesting ways later on. Hope you enjoy :)
