Disclaimer: I do not own Arrow or anything else you may recognize.
Not sure if I am going to continue this, but if enough people want me to, I will. Just wanted to test the waters with this.
As some of you may guess from reading the chapter, the premises will be partially based the plot of season three of The Originals. It is not necessary to watch that to understand this though.
This takes place after the season four premiere. So Oliver and Diggle are still on the outs and Olicity is together. If I continue this, Oliver and Felicity will not stay together.
Oliver was walking through Queen Mansion. Which confused him, since the mansion had been foreclosed after his mother's death. Oliver walked into the sitting room and saw someone sitting in a chair by the fire. They stood up and faced him and Oliver stifled a gasp as he saw who it was.
"Hello Oliver." Moira said as she smiled at him.
"Mom." Oliver said in a choked voice as he walked forward and embraced her.
"My baby boy." Moira said as she embraced him.
"I don't understand, how are you here?" Oliver asked as he stepped back and looked at her as though she were the sun, life itself.
"I don't have much time, I came here to warn you." Moira explained.
"Warn me about what?" Oliver asked confused.
"Darkness is about to descend upon Star City. It will cast a terrible shadow upon you and the two people you love most." Moira explained.
"I will stop Damien Darhk mom, I promise." Oliver vowed and Moira flashed him a sad smile.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Moira told him and Oliver frowned.
Before Oliver could ask what she meant, the room seemed to shake. The jingle of the chandelier startled him and he looked up before he noticed something odd. The sun was shining, but the room was getting darker and darker.
"Be careful Oliver. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." Moira warned as she seemed to disappear into the darkness.
"Mom!" Oliver cried out.
Oliver shot up in bed, breathing heavily. Felicity stirred beside him but did not wake. Oliver ran hand through his hair, it was just a dream, Oliver told himself. So why did it inspire such dread in him, he wondered.
Arrow lair, next day
Morning
"Ollie, you okay?" Thea asked as Oliver and Felicity walked in, seeing the bags under her brother's eyes.
"I'm fine Speedy. I just didn't sleep well last night." Oliver assured her, pointedly ignoring Diggle's scoff.
Suddenly, a glowing yellow cross appeared in the room. Felicity screamed as Oliver and Thea grabbed their bows, Diggle pulled out two pistols, and Laurel grabbed her side batons. Out of the cross came a golden masked figure with a matching gape in a blue uniform with golden pieces on his chest, hands, and feet. With a wave of his hand, he disarmed Team Arrow as he floated down to the ground.
"I do not wish to fight, I am simply here to talk." The man said in an echoing voice.
"Right, and we're supposed to believe that." Diggle scoffed.
"If I wished you harm, I would have done so after disarming you." The man said and Diggle had no come back.
"Who are you?" Oliver demanded.
"I have gone by many names, but you may call me Doctor Fate. And yes Mr. Diggle, I am of magic." Fate said before Diggle could make a sarcastic quip.
"You'll understand why we find that hard to believe." Laurel said skeptically.
"Yet you are able to believe in Metahumans and Damien Darhk's powers." Fate noted dryly.
"He's got a point." Thea pointed out.
"Look Mr. Fate, why are you here?" Felicity interrupted.
"To warn you." Fate said simply.
"To warn us about what?" Diggle asked curiously.
"I see the past. I see the present. I see the future. I can see the fate of everyone but myself. You Mr. Diggle, will soon be forced to confront an unsettling reality," Fate told him and Diggle looked skeptical as Fate turned to a startled Felicity, "You Ms. Smoak will have a large role to play in what is to come, but not the role you imagine."
"What?" Felicity asked confused but Fate ignored her as he looked over at Oliver, Laurel, and Thea.
"You three are why I am here. There is a shadow cast on all of you," Fate said and Oliver stiffened as his dream came back to him, "you shall all fall: One by friend, one by foe, and one by family."
"What does that even mean?" Diggle demanded while the others were too stunned to say anything in response.
"Darkness is coming to Star City to seek vengeance. Be prepared." Fate said before disappearing in the golden cross he had arrived it, leaving a stunned team in his wake.
