I've noticed there's a neglected DC character/universe out there in the realm of Arrow fan-fiction and as my muse won't let me alone until it's out of my head, here I go.

Please see my A/N below for further information.

Chapter 1 – An Introduction

An amused grin crossed her face as her younger sister paced furiously across the room after watching the second season of Arrow, hands waving in the air. "I cannot believe that they... it's so totally screwed up, who could have given them all that information and messed it to such an unbelievable level, oh of course, it had to be her, this is just another attempt to make people think that...!" Her rambling became almost inaudible as she continued pacing.

Leaning against the wall, arms folded across his chest, her permanent silent shadow smiled slightly. When his girl was like this, his world was the epitome of normal.

"Sister..." The elder woman rose gracefully to her feet, her black-blue hair falling back over her shoulders in waves. "Surely this helps to hide the truth of what happened that year – is that not a good thing."

The younger woman swung round, her blonde curls flying madly around her. "Not when the truth is so sacrificed for fantasy and nonsense such as this, sister and threatens everything we have built together."

"Princess..." It was all he said but for them, it was as always all that was needed. A single step forward and she was in his arms, head resting against his chest. He pressed a kiss to her head and turned her so that she was leaning, her back to his chest, his arms wrapped around her slender waist and her own resting on top of his.

Shaking her head at the inseparable pair, the elder woman waved the small group of people standing just outside of the sitting room they were in into the room before she addressed the concern of her younger sibling. "That may be so, little sister, but you have already shown that not even the potion of Mnemosyne can separate the two of you so why would this person be a threat to you."

"It's not that, sister, it's..." Blond curls flew all over the place as she shook her head and she sighed heavily just before her tall companion led her over to the two-seated sofa to sit down, as did the others that had entered the room.

And as was now their habit, she lay curled against his side, his arm around her while her hands held his free hand while he played with a single lock of hair that fell over his fingers. With her head resting against him, it was he that spoke this time. "Too little truth can be as dangerous as too much truth."

"Then it's about time that we at least knew the whole truth." The third member of their group leaned forward, an amused tone to his voice as always when speaking now to them. "At various points through that year, one or more of us were not around to know what really happened."

"Yeah, that's for sure," The youngest of the five men present spoke up, a look of pain crossing his face briefly from his own memories of that time.

The raven-haired sister sat back in her own seat, an amused expression crossing her face. "Your warrior companion speaks truthfully, little sister, even I am not aware of exactly what happened that year or even..." She broke off, feeling a wave of pain at that particular memory of her own and then shook her head, leaning it to the side much as her younger sibling was prone to do. "So where did this tale begin? When exactly did things start to differ from what has been shown us?"

The young couple looked at each other; blue eyes burning as they held one of their famous silent conversations before she turned back to look at the others, sighed and spoke.

"It begins where all things begin with the Arrow and Oliver Queen, it begins an island know as purgatory. It begins with Lian Yu."

Well, I'm back again, I should be working on my AU Hobbit but this little gem would not get out of my head and I had to put it onto the page.

The one thing I am really good is taking what has been seen the screen and making it my own - readers of my Willow/Angel stories will be able to testify to that.

So here's the challenge, look at season 2 and think about what parts can be Amazoned - (I'm sure you've all worked out who the Amazon is at this point - both elder and younger)

I look forward to seeing what you have to say and look forward to bringing your ideas into my new Amazon AU ;op
