《Specter of Oliver Queen》Chapter 21

"Hey, Mia and Conner, I was wondering if you could help me out with something?" Sara asked.
"Yeah, what do you need?" Conner asked.
"I need some material that can hold up to bullets, knives, and arrows so that I can make some suits." Sara said.
"Well, you don't really need to worry about that. Just give us the designs and we have a machine that can make the suits for you." Mia said.
"That's cool. Well, you know what our suits look like in the future. Just make mine the same and make Laurel's with some black and yellow. They were always more her color than mine anyways." Sara said.
"Ok, a white suit and a black and yellow one coming right up. Does this mean that you and mom will be starting up as soon as dad does?" Conner asked.
"I am sure your mom will. It will take a while for me because I will have to find a way to get out of the League first." Sara said.
"That's true. We will go and get the suits started now and then we will start the video." Conner said.
Once the video starts again, we see Oliver walking into court with Walter, Moira, and Tommy. He went though what had happened on the ship and how he had made it to the life raft and how he had survived on the island. Once he was pronounced alive the left the court and they all ran into Laurel and her friend Joanna. There was also another girl with them who Oliver assumed was their client.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Laurel asked.
"Oh, just bringing myself back to life." Oliver said.
"That's good. Well, I have to go, or we will be late for out trial." Laurel said as she walked by them to the court room.
Later that night Oliver goes to visit Laurel to protect her. He was supposed to go there that night anyways, so now he didn't have to make an excuse at least. He knocked on the door and Laurel answered the door.
"Hey. Thanks for coming. I have something important I need to tell you." Laurel said.
"Yeah, you said that yesterday. So, what's going on?" Oliver asked.
"Actually, there is someone that I want you to me." Laurel said as she walked back to the bedroom and walked back out with a little boy who was probably around five years old.
"And who might this young man be?" Oliver asked even though he already knew.
"This is Conner. Say hi to our guest Conner." Laurel said.
"Hello." Conner said.
"Hey, it is nice to meet you." Oliver said.
"Ollie, this is our son. I was pregnant when you left on the Gambit." Laurel said.
"I sorry I wasn't there for the two of you Laurel. If I would have known, I never would have gotten on that boat." Oliver said.

"I know. It's fine though. Anyways, I thought that you would want to meet him, and you can come over and visit as often as you like." Laurel said.
"Thank you Laurel." Oliver said and then he heard a sound coming from the fire escape.
"Laurel, I need you and Conner to go back to your bedroom. I think I just heard something." Oliver said and Laurel did as he said.
Once they were in the bedroom the door and window busted open and Oliver fought the men and China White who had also entered the apartment. Soon, Diggle showed up which caused Oliver to have to hide some of his skills so that he didn't show to much of what he could do. Once the men were taken care of and the police had shown up, Oliver left to take care of Sommers and some of the Triad at the docks.
A few days later Oliver was after a hitman need Deadshot, who never missed his target. He had been hit by one of Deadshot's bullets and knew they were poisonous. Oliver had tried to take Deadshot down at an apartment he was staying at, but he escaped. Oliver was able to retrieve Deadshot's computer and went to find someone who could salvage something off of it.
Oliver ended up at the office of Felicity Smoak and asked her to try to find out if she could get anything off the computer. She did find some information and it told Oliver where the next attack was going to be.
"That's my mom." Mia said to just let everyone know. She still had issues with her mom for lying to her for all those years though.
Oliver showed up at the exchange building and when gunshots were heard he went and found where Deadshot was firing from and they had a gun vs arrow fight. Finally, Oliver got an advantage and fired an arrow that his Deadshot in the eye leaving him dead.
Oliver heard a gasp and he turned around to see that Diggle was there and he had been hit. Oliver knew the only way to save Diggle was to go to the lair and get some of the herbs that would heal Diggle.
Later on, Diggle woke up and he attacked Oliver because he thought that Oliver was a murderer. He ended up leaving the lair and quitting his bodyguard duties the next day.
Oliver was listening to the news when he heard something about a man named Peter Declan about to be executed for killing his wife. Oliver heard that the wife, Camile, worked for Jason Brodeur who was on the list. Oliver did some research on the case and found that Camile was about to expose Brodeur for dumping toxic chemicals in the bay, which meant Brodeur had her killed.
Later that night the Hood visited Laurel for the first time to give her the information on the Declan case. Laurel went to visit Declan and she came away thing that he was innocent as well.

Laurel bet with the Hood again and told him that she needed evidence that Brodeur did have Camile murdered. The Hood went to Matt Istook and got him to give him the information that he hid about Camile coming to him with the evidence of toxic dumping. Laurel was now in a judge's office trying to get a stay of execution. The judge denied the stay because Brodeur showed up and got everything thrown out.
Laurel then went to the prison to tell Declan that the case didn't work out. While she was there the Hood went after Brodeur and got him to confess. He also said that he sent on of his men to go after Laurel and Declan in the prison. The Hood showed up right in time and saved the both of them. This didn't happen before he was about to beat Brodeur's man to death. This scared Laurel, but she was able to stop the hood from murdering someone.
Later Laurel and Quentin were talking, and she said, "You were right dad, I saw the darkness in his eyes. I still think that he is doing good for the city, but I can see that he could be a monster if he wanted to be."
"Well, at least you are safe." Quentin said.
"I can't believe I would say that. I mean clearly he was trying to protect me." Laurel said
"But you didn't know that it was really Oliver, so you wouldn't have known what was going through his mind." Sara said.
Oliver is now seen in the living room of the Queen Mansion when Diggle walks in. "I have had time to think about your offer and I will join you. If nothing else but to keep you in line." Diggle said.
Just then Quentin and his partner walked in to arrest Oliver for being the vigilante.
"Well, I guess that means that I am part of the team now. I am interested to see how this arrest goes though." Diggle said and everyone nodded.
Oliver was setting in an interrogation room waiting for his mother to show up so that she could get him his lawyer. When Moira arrived Oliver said, "Mom I want you to get Laurel to be my lawyer."
Moira wasn't happy about this, but she did as he asked and went to tell Laurel that Oliver wanted her to represent him in court. Laurel was unsure about doing this and said no at first.
Oliver was now sitting in court and he was going to represent himself until Laurel showed up. She got him out on bail and house arrest. Oliver was brought back in for more questions and then he told Quentin that he would do a lie detector test. Oliver had past the lie detector test. Oliver decided to throw a party with a prison theme because according to him it might be his last party for a while, if he was sent to jail.
"How did he pass the test?" Thea asked.
"Some people can find ways to manipulate the test. That is why they can't be used in court." Quentin said.
Later that night at the party, Laurel showed up and asked, "How did you survive being on the island and being tortured?"
"I just had to keep my mind on the people that I cared about. That is what got me through it." Oliver said.
"I need to see your scars, Ollie." Laurel said.
"Are you sure?" Oliver asked and Laurel nodded.
Oliver unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it open for Laurel to see his scars. She looked horrified. "How did you survive this Ollie?" Laurel asked.
"I thought of everything that I had to get back to here in Starling City." Oliver said.
That made Laurel kiss him. They kissed for a few second and Laurel broke away. "I can't do this." She said as she ran out of the room.
Oliver then had a talk with Diggle who went out in the Hood suit and stopped a gun sell. Someone then came in and attacked Oliver thinking that he was the Hood. Quentin bust into the room and shot the man. Later a man from the police was there to take the ankle monitor off of Oliver. He and Diggle then went to the lair and Oliver went out to finish off the gun dealer.
The next day Laurel came to visit Oliver and showed him the results of the lie detector test. It showed that he had a slight flutter at the answer of whether he had ever been to Iron Heights. "If you can lie about that, what else have you been lying about?" Laurel asked. Oliver didn't really have an answer to that, so she left.
"Looks like Ollie likes working with you even if you don't know who he is." Sara said.
"I guess we will always have chemistry. I just don't get why he never tried to get back together with me." Laurel said.
"Probably because he thinks that you think that he was with Sara on the Gambit." Tommy said.
"Well, I guess I would since he isn't telling me any different." Laurel said.
"Yeah, and we all know that you wouldn't give him a chance if you thought that was true. At least not at the beginning. Maybe after he has proven himself for a while." Sara said.
"Yeah, I guess you are right." Laurel said.

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.
