Oliver/Helena. MAY CHANGE! Possible pairings are ENDLESS.
(E for everyone/rating may change to M for mature)
So I'm not yet sure if this is going to be a one shot, an ongoing series, or a bunch of one shots! Vote for what you'd like to see! (And if it's an ongoing series would you rather it follow the Huntress on her travels or Oliver and the Arrow team?)

Helena had been out of jail and doing good alongside Oliver for a few weeks and with Sara's absence Helena was a welcomed addition to the team. Of course Diggle and Felicity still had their doubts about the dark haired beauty Helena's loyalty really did belong to justice now and she proved that over and over again.
Fighting through a group of armed men who were outside of a dark truck, which according to Felicity would be carrying a whole load of illegal weapons, Oliver grabbed the end of one of their weapons and ripped it out of their hand throwing it to the ground. Bashing the behind of some ones head with his bow the hooded vigilante watched him fall, the fight was going well right up until someone jumped on Oliver's back choking him until he was on the ground.
Arrows went through the two other standing men, the one holding Oliver by his neck turned around to see the Huntress in her black leather outfit. "Oh god! Oh god! Oh god!" He yelled "there was only supposed to be one of-" before he could finish Huntress smirked and cut him off "guess you thought wrong." She said shooting him through the wrist with her cross bow.
"Huntress!" Oliver said standing up breathing a sigh of relief "thanks for the save." He brushed some dust off his pants with his hand out of habit.
Helena grinned in Oliver's direction "anytime Ollie." She spoke smugly, but she always seemed to talk like that. Something about wearing a costume and a mask automatically made you feel like a bad ass, and talking like nothing bothered her was one of the many ways Helena masked her pain.
"I told you before no names in the field." Oliver reminded Helena in a somewhat more serious tone.
"Relax Ollie no one's here. Let's just get back to the cave." She said rolling her eyes "Felicity must be worried about you by now." Helena said picking up Oliver's broken communicator from the ground.
Oliver nodded "ya, true I forgot about that." He scratched the back of his neck "man I got to be more careful about this stuff, with money being kind of tight now." He frowned "let's get going..." Oliver said shaking his previous statements off, they were all quite depressing and he opted not to think like that usually. Hopping on his bike Oliver looked at Helena "bring your bike? Or need a ride?" He asked smiling in the woman's direction.
"Yeah I need a ride..." She chuckled hopping on the back of his bike.
Not too much longer the vigilantes arrived at their "hide out" to see Felicity laying in her chair as always nervously staring into her screen "Felicity!" Oliver smiled yelling out to his favourite bubbly IT girl.
"Oh god!" Felicity said startled by the entrance turning her chair to look at the costumed pair of vigilantes "I was worried something happened to you! I mean your communicator went dead, what happened?"
Holding up Oliver's broken communicator that she had kept to make a point Helena sighed "Oliver your off your game. Is something wrong?" She asked sincerely looking up at Oliver.
Answering without any hesitation Oliver spoke solemnly "no, nothing's wrong Helena." He laid a hand on her shoulder "I had a bad night."
"In our line of work one bad night gets you killed, and I'm not always going to be around to save your ass!" She smiled punching his shoulder playfully.
"Right..." Oliver frowned "your plane for Sicily leaves tonight doesn't it?" He asked shaking the sadness out of his voice, Helena was someone he felt a genuine connection with and now that they weren't dating he could always count on her to be there drama free as an equal, a partner. Doing patrols and missions would be a lot more dangerous now, he had no one to watch his back, Diggle had to stay out of the field as much as possible and he had out Roy back on the bench after an outburst in the field, he would probably be bringing him back into the game sooner then he had originally anticipated now.
"Afraid so" Helena frowned looking up at Oliver laying her hand on the side of his neck. Leaning up the dangerous woman in leather kissed his cheek and smiled "I'll be back when you need me most." She said reassuringly "until then try not to forget me." And with that she would leave Starling without a single trace.
