Nyssa and Oliver raise William.
I thought of this idea but no one really likes it saying Nyssa is a lesbian. I like to think of her as bi like Sara. I see her and Oliver could be good together and turn William into a bad ass.
Start
Oliver was hugging his son trying to shield him away from Chase and the mind scarring sight of a man who blew his brains out. While shielding his son they turn to the island to see the coastline explode. The explosions were so big you could barely see the mountains. After the explosions cleared there was no more green, everything was scorched and black. His son was crying into his jacket seeing the island blow up there was a good chance his mother was dead. Oliver was stroking his son's head, "We don't know if she's dead we are going back."
Oliver piloted the boat back to shore closest to where he last saw his friends. He docked the boat and turned to his son, "Stay here." Then he looked over his son's shoulder to see Chase's dead body. "Actually come on, you can hold my bow." Trying to keep his son calm so he doesn't go into shock.
William took his father's bow surprised how light it was. "Is this the way to mom."
Oliver sighed and looked at the black forest, "This is the way to the last place I saw them."
They trekked through what was left of the forest. Oliver retraced his steps until he came upon the four stakes that were holding up the canopy Felicity was at. He crouched down looking for a trail when his son said, "What about that plane?" Oliver looked at an overturned plane and said, "Good call buddy, wait out here while I check it out."
Oliver ran over to the plane and sprinted up the wing of the plane and climbed through the door. As soon as he entered the cabin he saw two charred bodies huddling together. He ran over and pulled them apart and saw it was Diggle and Samantha. Oliver crumpled to the ground his son's mother was dead, he was the only thing his son had left. Oliver quickly walked through the other seats and saw everyone dead trying to curl in a ball for a chance to live. He let out a cry and let the tough persona fall looking at everyone he fought with about was dead. His sister was with Felicity he could just imagine them comforting each other in their final moments. He couldn't control the sobs and emotions that he tried to suppress.
"Kid." Oliver's head snapped up and he ran to the back where he saw Slade laying on the ground. He quickly turned Slade over and saw he was alive but was barely conscious. Oliver then saw he was laying over a hidden compartment and saw a bundle of black clothes and a quiver at the bottom. "Nyssa!" He turned back to Slade and tried to wake him up, "Slade!"
Slade opened his eye, "I am sorry for everything kid. I tried to save everyone but there wasn't time. Find my son and let him know I died trying to be a hero." With that Slade let out his final breath. Oliver was still crying when he saw Nyssa moving in the compartment. Oliver reached down and tried to uncover her face and check if she was okay.
When he uncovered her face she her face it was smeared with dirt and blood. She opened her eyes to see Oliver looking down on her. "Husband...help me." Oliver quickly grabbed her arm and lifted her out of the compartment and carried her to the emergency exit door. With her in his arms he slid down the wing of the plane down to his son.
"Dad!" William screamed after seeing his dad sliding down the wing with a woman in his arms. He could see his dad had been crying, "Is mom okay?"
Oliver carefully laid Nyssa flat on the ground and turned to his son, "William I am so sorry. Your mom didn't make it Nyssa was the only survivor." He looked down and saw Nyssa looked like nothing was broken and she wasn't losing blood. He undid her weapons and quiver from her body along with her outer coat.
William was crying watching his dad work on some woman who was alive while his mother wasn't. "Why is she alive and not mom?"
Oliver looked to his son crying and clutching onto his bow as hard as he could in anger. "She is alive because a friend of mine was wearing armor and was covering her. My friend Diggle tried to do that for your mom but it didn't work. I am so sorry."
Nyssa was slowly coming to and heard Oliver talking to someone. "Husband." she said weakly.
Oliver looked down and saw that she was alive and coherent, "Nyssa you survived. You are safe."
Nyssa tried to sit up but felt like she was covered in bruises probably from the bombs knocking the plane around and being thrown around a small space. "Did everyone survive?"
Oliver was about to cry again when he shook his head, "Only you and my son. Slade covered you in the compartment, he was able to talk for a minute before he died."
Nyssa looked around until she saw her husband's son kneeling on the ground clutching his father's bow. If this weren't such a sad moment she would have made a comment to oliver on how much his son resembles him. She turned back to Oliver, "Is help coming."
Oliver nodded, "I informed Lyla I was coming to the island and with that explosion she will send agents to check it out." Nyssa nodded and laid her head back on the ground.
William walked over to his dad and handed back his bow. "So what happens to me now?"
Oliver embraced his son. "You will have me. I will always be there for you and you can come back to Star City with me and I will raise you the best I can." William hugged his dad back.
Star City
(1 month later)
Oliver was able to keep his position as mayor by telling everyone his son's mother had died and he had to go get him. He managed to get William into a school and Lyla sent an A.R.G.U.S therapist once a week. He needed a special therapist that knew about the Arrow and what happened to them on the island. Nyssa was living at the bunker, she was really beat up when they got back and she had to get back in shape. Oliver wasn't able to put the hood back on since the island. He put it in his case and left it there next to the others not in use anymore. Oliver covered everything that wasn't being used in sheets and told Nyssa she can use the bunker as long as she needed.
Oliver was in the Mayor's office talking to the police chief. "So you have not spoken to your friends or family in over a month?"
Oliver shook his head trying to hold back the anger and tears, "No sir I think Chase might have killed them or taken them. I have not had any contact with any of them but I fear the worst."
The police chief stood up, "I will forward the case to the FBI and Interpol there is a chance Chase could have left the country." Oliver shook his hand before he exited the office.
Oliver sat back in his chair and spun it around so he could stare at the city. All he wanted was to make the city a better place and all that got him was pain. He lost everyone but William and Nyssa. It's through this pain he didn't pick up his bow again. He was done putting people in danger and possibly making William an orphan.
His secretary opened the door and poked her head in, "A is here to see you."
Oliver turned around in his chair and put on a fake smile, "Send him in."
When Barry walked through the doors he saw Oliver with a lost kind of look on his face. "Hey Oliver can we talk?"
Oliver just opened a desk drawer and pulled out a bottle of vodka with 2 glasses. He poured them both nearly full glasses. "What do you want Barry?"
Barry took a glass and gave it a sip, "I heard your team is missing? I hadn't heard from Felicity in a while."
Oliver started taking big gulps before finishing the glass and pouring himself another, "They are dead Chase killed them all."
Barry nearly dropped his glass, "That is not possible."
Oliver glared at Barry and he wanted to hit him, "The only one to surve was Nyssa and my son. William and I were on a boat with Chase, he then killed himself and with a dead man switch the entire island exploded. I went to the plane and everyone was burned. Nyssa only survived because she was in a small compartment and Slade was shielding her. Everyone else died curled up trying to survive. I lost pretty much everything that day."
"Oliver I don't know what to say. What are you going to do now?" Barry asked still sipping his vodka.
"I am going to raise my son and be the mayor."
"Oliver what about you being the Arrow?"
Oliver just looked at his vodka glass wishing he could continue drinking but he was at work. "I am done Barry since I put my suit back I haven't gone back. Nyssa lives there now and I avoid it too many memories. I can barely look at myself in the mirror how can I go back out there. How can I go back out there when i might not come back and leave my son with no parents."
Barry looked down to the floor knowing there was no good comeback for that, "Is that what Felicity would want?"
Oliver slammed his glass on the desk leaving spider web cracks in the glass. Barry flashed to the other side of the room knowing he crossed a line and that Oliver might actually kill him if he got his hands on him. Oliver quickly reined in his emotions and calmed down, "Get out Barry."
Barry sulked out of the office without saying anything as to not provoke him any more than he already has. When the door clicked shut Oliver threw the vodka glass as hard as he could at the wall. Now the room smelled like vodka and there was tiny shards of glass everywhere. He sat back down and pressed the intercom button, "Can you send in a cleaning crew I dropped a glass. I have to leave to pick up my son in ten minutes can you have the car pulled around?"
Arrow Bunker
Nyssa was going through her katas with her sword when there was a flash of light and a gust of wind. She dropped down in her league of assassins stance and was ready to attack. Barry saw Nyssa ready to attack he quickly put his hands up. "Wait don't attack I am friends with Oliver."
Nyssa straightened up, "I am sorry I don't know who you are." She extended her hand. Barry shook her hand and looked around. "Nyssa I just came from talking to Oliver-."
Nyssa cut him off, "If you came here I would have told you not to bother. He blames himself for all of the deaths on the island. He stopped training altogether he has not even been back here to see me since I was able to get out of bed." Nyssa points to the Arrow suit. "He hasn't even touched that since we have been back."
Barry looked at the suit, "Yeah he mentioned that. Do you think he will ever be okay?"
She walked over to a table and laid her sword down, "Did you know he is my husband?"
"I heard something about that."
"I only mention it because we were married my father was forcing us together. Oliver then killed my father and I felt like I owed him. I fought with him to get his son back and we did but he lost everything else. I know he feels like he failed them but I feel guilty that I was the only one who lived. William lost his mother and I can't even look at him. Oliver offered me a room with him and his son and I just can't. Just like he can't put on his suit and pick up a bow it's guilt." Nyssa was close to tears for the first time since Laurel's death.
Barry put a hand on her shoulder, "He needs friends to help him out of it all he has is you, me and Kara."
Nyssa's head snapped up, "Who is this Kara?"
"Ummm bye." With a flash he was gone leaving her alone in the bunker. Nyssa was now filled anger, guilt, and a little jealousy she picked up a bow and went to train.
Central City
Barry flashed right next to Cisco, "I need you to call Kara. We need her peppy optimism to help Oliver."
"How bad was it?"
"He drained a full glass and a half of the strongest vodka ever and wanted to kill me when I mentioned Felicity."
"Say no more." Cisco picked up the earth 38 transponder, "Supergirl come in Supergirl."
After a few seconds of static a feminine voice answered, "What do you need earth one?"
Barry answered, "Oliver needs help."
"I am on my way."
