She felt pain everywhere. All she felt was pain. She didn't know where she was or who she was with. The last thing she remembered was hearing a gun go off. She felt the cool touch of metal on her back and hands. She figured it was the same slab she had seen her dad on so many times. Her eyes fluttered opened and she groaned at the bright white light shining in her eyes. The chattering she heard stopped figuring she got their attention.
" Looks like someones awake," the voice she could identify as Diggle's said. She groaned in annoyance she went to sit up slowly when she felt someone's hand on her shoulder.
" Maybe you should take it easy kid," the young man holding her back said. She looked around and saw Roy, Sara, and John. The girl groaned and fell back down on the slap. She heard footsteps come down the stairs and looked toward them to who it was. Her face lit up when she saw Oliver come in the small concert room.
" Hey I came as soon as you called," He stopped, " who that?"
Oliver looked over and saw a girl in her late teens looking around the foundry.
" We don't know she woke a little while before you came," Sara said.
" What do you mean you don't know?" She looked around and saw confused looks on everyone's face, " come on Dig, you've been looking out for me since I learned to walk."
Everyone looked at him waiting for an answer, " sorry kid, but I've never met you before."
" Okay is this you getting back at me for that stupid argument we had, because if so how many times do I have to say that I'm sorry," she said tears gathering in her eyes. Sara walked over to her and put a hand on her to clam her down.
" hey , don't worry we'll figure this out, okay." The girl pulled back from her grasp. She put her hands in her blonde hair and started pacing.
" No, you don't get it this shouldn't be happening. Dad come on," she said looking at Oliver.
" Me. Dad. What? No. That's impossible." He said stammering at first.
" this is nut. Ugh, dammit, this can't be happening you guys are all I have please," she said panicking.
" your like what 19? Oliver would of had to have you when he was 11," Roy said.
Oliver ignored his comment though, " what's the last thing you remember?"
" I'm 20, Roy. And the last thing I remember is, you yelling at me for wanting to go on a mission with you. You left to handle the problem with everyone else. Next thing I know I'm hear."
" Kid, you had a bullet in your shoulder. If you are Oliver's kid then what is it with Queens getting shot in the shoulder?" Dig said jokingly.
She chuckled at that, " I haven't the idea. I take it none of you are going to ask so My names Margo Moria Queen."
" I need some air," Oliver said and walked outside.
She sighed knowing he thought she was crazy. Roy and Sara both had a hand on both her shoulder. Roy moved in front of her and crossed his arms
" So what's the future like?" He asked jokingly
" Pretty much the same. Wait, you don't think I'm crazy as hell," she said with a smile.
" No, I think your crazy as hell, but I saw your face and I believe you. Plus you kinda look like him," he said smiling.
" What about you two?" She asked John and Sara.
" Like Roy said we saw your face when no one here knew you. You looked genuinely upset," John said quietly.
Sara nodded in agreement, " I know the look a daughter gives her father so yeah I believe you."
She smiled , but it soon faded when John said, " I don't think you need us to believe you. I think you need Oliver to believe you..''
He was right. She thought, I do need my dad to believe me, but he probably thinks I'm crazy.

Oliver was standing outside when Sara came out to talk to talk to him. He didn't call Felicity because she was probably asleep already. Sara walked over and leaned against the wall
" You don't believe her do you?" Sara asked him casually
" Seeing and believing are two different things Sara. I mean, she looks and acts just like me, but just thinking that I have a daughter while still doing this it's.." he trailed off
" Oliver I know what a daughter looking at her father looks like okay. That girl looks at you like you're a hero. When she found out that none of us knew who she was she was devistated." Sara walked down the allie way to go home. Oliver stayed out there a little longer before going back inside. When he got downstairs he noticed that Margo was the only one left down there.
" Uncle Roy and Dig left already," she said not meeting his gaze.
" Listen Margo, I'm sorry for how I reacted. But I see you and you look and act just like I do. Then I think it can't be real because why would I raise my daughter while still being a vigilante."
" When I was about ten you brought me down here. You said you didn't want to keep anything from me," she had a hard time trying not to cry, " that wasn't the day that I started looking at you like you were a hero Dad. I did that long before."
Tears were pouring down her cheeks now, " As I got older we had our fights, but all fathers and daughter do. When I woke and no one knew who I was I.. I didn't know what to think. Because minutes before I told you to leave me alone."
Oliver walked over I hugged the girl in for the of him trying to clam her down. It hit him then that it was his daughter who seconds ago broke into tears. Oliver was supposed to a tough guy who survived five years of hell. He didn't do expressing feeling well, yet he coundn't stop himself comforting her. He rubbed her back calmingly trying to still her from crying, " hey, it's okay. Everything is going to be okay."
