Chapter 1: Welcome in hell
There was a storm, a big storm… lightning and thunder manifesting all over the boat... Oliver was trying to keep hold of something after a wall in his room just blew away in the water. The boat was slowly sinking, and Kara helped Oliver get up by using her superior strength to pull him towards her. "Come on, we need to go. The boat is about to sink, and a crew member is getting a life raft for us and your father. The other crew members are dead." Kara explained to Oliver, having used her super hearing to give that information. "So, lead the wa…" Oliver paused as the floor shook under their feet. "Oliver!" Kara yelled, as they fell in the water. In that kind of situation, Kara wished she had the power to fly like her cousin, so she could get up faster. "Kara!" she heard Oliver yell, before his voice was distorted by water.
When they both finally got to the surface, they saw Robert Queen and a crew member in the life raft Kara told Oliver about. "Oliver, Kara, get in!" Robert yelled, going to help the two young adults in their attempt to get on the raft. "What are you doing? We only have enough water for two people!" the crew member yelled to Robert, not understanding was his goal. "If anyone will survive this, it's going to be them!" Robert yelled back to the man, shutting him up. Kara was about to fiddle with her glasses but found out that she had lost them at sea.
Probably a day later, no one really knew how long they were sitting it that raft, Oliver was leaning on his father, barely sleeping, keeping his energy low, and holding Kara close to him, and she wasn't looking better then him. Robert took a water bottle and gave it to his son, so he could take a sip. "Take this. Oliver, I am not the man you think I am, I didn't save the city, I failed it!" Robert said, when Oliver took a sip and gave it to his girlfriend. "Mr. Queen, don't waste your breath, sleep." Kara told Robert, giving him the bottle back. Robert sighed, taking a gun in his coat, and shooting at the crew member, startling Oliver, and Kara, who took a step back. "Survive!" Robert said, looking at his son and Kara, he held his gun to his head and shot himself.
A few days later, probably, they finally saw land and started taking the boat to the shore. "Pull the boat on the sand, I can take your father." Kara told Oliver, who nodded, and they got out of the raft. Oliver pulled the raft to dry land and Kara went to Robert's lifeless body, that they placed in a bag. When Kara went to take the bag, a notebook fell on the ground, and she took it, placed it in a pocket in her shirt. They dug a hole for them to place the body in, covering in with rocks and placing a log in front of it, carved with the name of the deceased man. Kara then gave the notebook to Oliver, telling him that it was Robert's and that her should keep it, which Oliver did.
The duo returned to the boat to get the other things inside when Oliver fell on the ground, groaning in pain. "Oliver!" Kara yelled, running towards him. He had an arrow in his shoulder. The arrow came from behind them, since the arrowhead was facing them. Kara was too preoccupied with helping Oliver, that she did not hear another arrow whistle in the wind, all she felt was something break on her back. She turned around and saw a man in a green hood with a bow and a quiver full of arrows. The man signaled Kara to follow him, which she did, taking Oliver with her, with no apparent effort. When she reached the man, he had stopped in a cave, with a makeshift bed, a fire hole, a casserole above the fire hole and a wooden box with, as her x-ray vision showed her, herbs inside. The man took Oliver from her and made him lie down on the makeshift bed next to the fire hole. The Asian man took a bole of water and some herbs from his box and bended down to give them to Oliver, who started chocking from the pain, but then passed out once more. The man got up and left the cave with his bow and quiver full of arrows.
When Oliver woke up, he gasped and looked around. "Woaw... Olly, calm down, you are safe." Kara said, speeding towards him and making sure he doesn't get up too quickly. "Where are we?" Oliver asked, confused. "We are in a cave on the island. That man who shot you, he saved your life." Kara said, forcing Oliver to get back down. When he was back down, Oliver went back to sleep, needing to rest.
A few minutes later, the Asian man came back with three birds in a cage.
The man cooked his own bird, letting it stay above the fire. The smell of cooked bird woke Oliver up, and he made a movement to take a bit off the bird, but the man slapped his hand before he could. "Hey!" Oliver said, pulling back his hand. "Shencun." The man said, making Oliver and Kara look at each other in confusion. "What?" Kara finally asked, raising an eyebrow. "Shencun." The man repeated, making a snapping movement, looking at the bird. "You want us to kill a bird?" Oliver asked, confused. The man repeated the gesture, until the two young adults took their birds. Kara was the first one to snap the bird's neck, accidentally, really, but she still killed it. Oliver also killed his bird, after seeing his girlfriend so I before him.
They are their bird in silence, not really like the fact they took their first life, animal or not. "Shencun." The man said, looking at them. "We know... bird... we get it..." Oliver replied, tired. "Shencun, not mean bird. Shencun mean, survive." The man said, before leaving Kara and Oliver dumbfounded. Before he leaves, the man said, "You want survive this place, bird not last thing you kill." And both young adults gaged, the thought of ending another life, they did not enjoy that.
That night, Oliver couldn't sleep, so he sat next to the fire and looked at Kara sleeping. He then looked at the fire, that was dying, so he took the book Kara gave him, the notebook that belonged to his father. He started using the pages to reignite the fire. However, when he moved the pages closer to the flames, words started appearing on them, names, in fact. He looked at the names, Adam Hunt, Martin Somers, and others, then he closed the book and went to sleep.

Next, on the Island...
Yao-Fei
When Kara woke up, she didn't feel the pain in her leg anymore, probably because it already healed, but she felt someone shaking her. She turned on her back and sat straight up, and saw who was trying to wake her up, Oliver. "You're awake! Finally." Oliver said, as he stopped shaking Kara. "Where are we..." Kara asked, groaning as she looked at where she was shot and found only a small wound. "I don't know... but I bet he does." Oliver said, pointing at the man sitting on the desk in front of them. "Who are you?" Kara asked, as she turned towards the man, English by the looks of it.
I am letting you guess who the English guy is!
