Advertisement
A/N: This is the last chapter of this story. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. There will be a sequel to this story and I will start working on it as soon as I can. Again, I hope you all enjoyed the story and thanks for reading.
When the team made it to the hospital they were split up so that all of the doctors could get them out of there and back home as soon as possible. None of them would let the doctors take any blood for obvious reasons and when the doctors did the exams on the heroes, they were surprised to see that none of them had any injuries and were not even malnourished. When the doctors were done with the exams they put the heroes back in one room so that they could wait for their families to arrive.
Not long later, the team could hear the doctors talking to someone outside of the door. They looked at the window in the door and could see that it was Moira, Robert, and Quentin standing there listening to the doctors carefully. Soon after, the door opened and the three parents walked in.
"Oh, my sweet children. I have missed you so much." Moira said as she walked over to her two children and adopted daughter and gave them all a hug with Robert not far behind her.
"I can't believe all of you made it. We tried to search for you but no one could find any sign of you." Robert said.
"Yeah, I don't know what to say. We were on the island the whole time." Oliver said and Thea and Kara nodded as well.
"Well, It is good to have you back. I am so sorry that this happened to you." Robert said as he turned to the Lance sisters and Barry as well. It is good to see the three of you as well."

"You too Mr. Queen." Laurel said as she turned to her father. "Hey Dad."
"My baby girls. I am so happy that you both are ok. It has been tough here without the two of you. Welcome back Barry. I missed you too." Quentin said.
"We missed you, Daddy. Where is mom." Sara asked.
"She will be here tomorrow. She now lives in Central City." Quentin said, looking down at the floor.
"Ok. That is something that we will have to talk about later. Everyone before we get on another topic. I am sure that you can see that we have another person with us. This is Shado and she is my girlfriend. She was trapped on the island with us as well." Sara said.
"It is nice to meet you, Shado. Let us know if there is anything that you ever need." Moira said.
"Yeah. Nice to meet you." Quentin said as he was still getting his head around one of his daughters being bisexual, since he knew that she had been into boys at one point as well.
"It is nice to meet all of you as well. I have heard lots of things." Shado said with a smile.
"Ok. I think it is time to get you all home. Why don't all of you come to the mansion for dinner?" Robert said.
"Sounds good to us. I do have a question for you though, Mr. and Mrs. Queen. Is it alright if I live at the mansion? I have gotten used to sleeping close to Ollie and I don't know if I can go back to sleeping alone." Laurel said.
"That is fine with us Laurel. I can understand why that might be a problem for you." Robert said and Moira nodded.
"Wait! I thought you would all be moving back in with me." Quentin said.
"I would dad, but like I said, I have been sleeping close to Ollie so long that I don't think I can go without him there right now." Laurel said.

"Whatever. Sara, you will be coming home, right?" Quentin asked.
"Yeah. Shado and I will be with you." Sara said and Quentin nodded.
"I will be there as well, Quentin." Barry said and Quentin nodded again.
Not too long later, a nurse came into the room with the papers that they needed to sign in order to leave and once they were done they were all given some sweatpants and t-shirts to wear home.
. . .
As Oliver, Thea, Kara, and Laurel walked into the mansion they were all happy to see that nothing had changed since before they went on the Gambit. Oliver had crate with all of their supplies in it in his arms. He made his way up to his room so that he could leave it there and then he came back downstairs and met up with the others.
When he got down the stairs he saw that the others were already talking to Raisa. Oliver walked up to her and she hugged him just like she did with all the rest of them.
"It is good to see you all again. I have everything to make your favorite meals. It is a good thing that you have a big group coming, otherwise I think you would be eating leftovers for a week." Raisa said with a smile.
"I don't know if that will happen or not Raisa. You know how much Kara can eat, and now Barry can eat just as much." Thea said with a smile.
Kara smacked her arm softly and smiled knowing that it was true. Raisa laughed and then made her way to the kitchen to start working on the meal. Not long later, Quentin, Sara, Barry, and Shado showed up and they all went to the dining room.
"Is there supposed to be someone else? There is one more chair here." Kara asked.
"Yes. Tommy is coming. He wanted to be here for this." Robert said.
"Sounds good. It will be good to see him again." Oliver said.
"Well, wait no longer, because I am here." Tommy said as he walked into the room and all of the team walked up and hugged their other best friend.
"Tommy, I would like to introduce you to Shado. She is my girlfriend. She was on the island with us." Sara said.
"Nice to meet you Tommy. I have heard lots of things about you." Shado said as she shook Tommy's hand.
"Good to meet you as well. I hope nothing was too bad." Tommy said.
"It was very interesting to say the least." Shado said and everyone in the room laughed at that.
Dinner went well and everyone had fun together and had a lot of laughs as Shado was told stories about the past. Tommy had said that he would like to throw them all a welcome home party and the team knew better than to not agree because they knew that Tommy would never give up on that.
They would all go out tomorrow and see if they could find a place for their base of operations. They would wait for a while before they start up because if they started their mission too soon, it would be obvious who the vigilantes were. So, the plan was to get their suits made, fix up their base of operations, and then they would see where they needed to start first. It should be about two months or so before they had everything up and running, but when they finally made their first appearance, Starling City's criminals would be looking over their shoulders not knowing when it could be them that would feel the wrath of the vigilantes.

He just wants to eat as much food as he can shove into his mouth when no one is looking, but fate runs a twisted course, so instead he is whisked away to the far off Iron Teeth Mountains. To stay alive, he will have to evolve into something more than a simple goblin, and carve a bloody path through the forests of the North. However, first he has to get over his crippling fear of trees, and survive in a place where everything considers him to be the perfect size for a quick snack...

8 170Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road.
