Arrow (Rewritten)

Pilot

A/N: Ok, I've had this idea in my head for a while and have changed a few characters genders to fit in more with the story, I own nothing but my imagination and the OC of Olivia Queen, (SPOILER ALERT: In Season 3, I may have her a little too cocky and cheeky wit Ra's Al Ghul)

One day a couple of fishermen found a young girl lying on the sands of an island named Lian Yu and took her on board their ship until she woke up, the girl woke to find the men standing above her. She was a little wary of them when they spoke to her in their native language and asked her if she was ok and who on earth she was, the girl replied in her own language "my name is Olivia Queen."

The news reached Starling City that the daughter of the billionaire, Robert Queen, had been found alive "Olivia Queen is alive, the Starling City resident was found in the North China sea five years after the accident that claimed the Queen's Gambit, we can confirm now that Robert Queen is now officially proven to be deceased" the news presenter said on the TV as Olivia was taken to hospital.

Moira Queen arrived at Starling City General to see the doctor that had assessed her daughter, Olivia was gazing out of the window "has she said anything about what happened?" Moira asked "she hasn't said a word, 20 percent of her body is scar tissue, second degree burns all over her back and arms and at least twelve fractures that never properly healed" the doctor told Moira, Moira gazed sadly at her eldest child, Theo Queen had hoped that his sister was alive and now she was home.

"Moira, I want you to brace yourself, the Olivia you lost may not be the Olivia that they found" the doctor warned, Moira opened the door and went into the room, Olivia didn't seem to notice her "Olivia" Moira said, Olivia turned and saw her smiling mother "mom" she said softly, Moira walked over to her daughter, who now stood a lot taller than her now and more beautiful than she used to be, she looked at Olivia and said softly "my beautiful baby girl" she hugged Olivia, who did the same.


Moira took Olivia home to their mansion on the outskirts of Starling's business district, as their butler reached to get the case that Olivia had brought back with her, Olivia intervened "I can take this" she said to him. The butler nodded and Moira took Olivia into the mansion, Olivia looked around her home that she had lived in until five years before when she nearly lost her life on their yacht and had lost her best friend Sara Lance along with her father, Robert Queen, in that accident.

"Someone wants to see you" Moira said, Olivia moved to the grand staircase and looked up as a boy younger than herself came clattering to the top "hey bro" Olivia said to the boy. Theo Queen looked at the woman standing at the bottom of the stairs "Liv! I knew you weren't dead! I knew it!" he shouted in joy as he ran down and hugged his older sister hard, he was glad she was finally home.

Tommy Merlyn and Laurel Lance were also there to see Olivia return home "you and me hit the town tomorrow, we need to get you caught up on what you've missed" Tommy said to her "alright" Olivia said "what was it like, the island?" Theo asked "cold" Olivia said bluntly, with a small smile at her little brother. Tommy and Olivia were out in the streets of Starling City the next day "well if you've not had enough of fish, there's a new Sushi bar that's opened up down the..." Tommy was cut off from what he said when a van skidded in front of them and used tranquilizer darts to knock both him and Olivia out.

"Ms Queen, Ms Queen" a voice sneered at Olivia as she struggled to regain conscious after a flashback of the night her father died, Olivia looked up at a man in a red skull mask who tortured her to try an get what she had been told by her father out of her "you're dead" Olivia said, with a feral smirk on her face "you're tied up" the leader sneered, Olivia brought her untied hands round "really?" she asked, she then shocked the men by easily fighting them and chased the leader out of the abandoned warehouse where they were, she has stopped to check on Tommy, who was still out cold, but as Olivia left, he began to come around.

Olivia leapt from roof to roof, following the gang leader and finally caught up with him and then held him in a headlock "no-one can know my secret" she said, before snapping his neck with her bare hands. She ran back to where Tommy was and helped him up "'Liv, did-did you do this?" he asked "yeah, the island taught me a fair few things on how to survive and how to defend myself" Olivia said as the two were found by the Starling police and taken back home again.


"So, a girl in a green hood saved the both of you by killing them?" Quentin Lance said to the two "that's what happened" Olivia lied to him, Lance turned to Tommy "what did you see?" "I was out for the count, so I didn't see much" Tommy said, glancing at Olivia, who in turn shrugged "why would she do this?" Lance asked "I don't know, find her and ask her" Olivia smirked, as the two policemen left Tommy and Olivia, Moria introduced Olivia to her new bodyguard John Diggle.

Olivia felt she could trust him, but wasn't sure on how to tell him that she was the one who saved herself and Tommy "Dig, if you'd been missing on an island for five years and that changed you a bit and your father told you something that made you want to change the city, would you do it as a vigilante?" she asked

"what makes you say that, Ms Queen?" Diggle asked "'cause it was me who got Tommy and myself out of that kidnapping scenario" Olivia admitted, Diggle sighed "well, there is something that I can say, but it may not be that helpful" Diggle said to her, Olivia looked up at him in the rearview mirror of the Sedan "if you're going to be a vigilante, you have to be careful on who you tell this to" Diggle said "well, I feel I can trust you" Olivia said, her instincts were strong with her trust issues.

Diggle looked at Olivia, he mentally sighed "this girl," he thought "will get herself killed if she does this, but she's so stubborn" "Olivia, I'm not trying to convince you not to do this, but I do have something else to say, follow your instincts" he told her, Olivia gave him a small smirk "alright and that's saying to go with it" Olivia said.


Olivia was building underneath an old factory foundry that belonged to her company in the Glades, Diggle giving her a hand "you sure you want to do this?" Diggle asked "yeah, I'm sure" Olivia said, as she finished rewiring the electricity so that they could see in their lair. Diggle noticed Olivia's bow "is this the one you used on the island?" he asked "no, that one was my mentor's, this one was made for me a couple of years ago" Olivia said to him, she drew an arrow and fired it at a target, Diggle was stunned at her accuracy "damn, must've had a lot of practice!" he said "five years worth of practice" Olivia smiled as she dressed in her vigilante suit.

Olivia made her way to Adam Hunt, the first name she saw on the list her father gave her before he died, and managed to convince him (as the vigilante) to return the money he'd stolen from the people in the Glades, when it came on the news that Hunt stole more money off the people in the Glades Olivia was seething with rage, she was going to kill him "Olivia, try not to mutilate him if you're going to do this" Diggle warned her "whatever" Olivia snarled, Diggle sighed at his boss. Olivia went to Hunt's office and pointed an arrow at his heart "you have failed this city!" Olivia snarled as she let go and killed him, before returning home to get changed.
