Starling's Wolf Of The Air

Chapter One: The Return

I own nothing. Everything is owned by The CW and CBS, Marc Guggenheim (retch) and Donald Bellisario

"Oliver Queen has been found alive". And the TV announcer went on about his past 'exploits'. Oliver blocked it out as he looked out the window, looking at his city. As the report continued, talking about his previous "accomplishments", he was sickened by what he had been before. But he knew he would be better, do better, be a better person to his family and friends. In particular Laurel, although he knew he could never get back together with her. All he had done, both directly to her and her family and the things he had done in his 5 years away made sure of that. As well as his commitment to his mission to his city to pull it back from what his family had done to it. That would make his life too dangerous to even consider trying anything with Laurel or any other woman he might find. He had no interest in killing anyone else through his actions, and that included his family. And there was one other consideration as to why he would never try anything with Laurel was the fact that he simply didn't deserve her.

There was also the fact of this other job/identity, besides Oliver Queen and besides his soon-to-be vigilante persona. At that moment, the cell phone that had been smuggled into the room for him rang, and the caller ID said "Michael".

Answering, he said "Speak of the devil Michael, I was just thinking about you."

"You did good service Oliver. For the last two and a half years you have been fighting for people at home and away. You've excelled, and unlike so many people in this business, you still have a soul and I will not argue on that point with you because YOU DO" Michael replied, saying the last part sternly.

"Thanks. What kind of support can I expect here? I might be able to take care of the whispers of an Undertaking of some form on my own without you, your people, or The Lady, but if I need support, what can I get."

"If you need backup, call. You'll have the same deal your predecessor did. You have the position with us, which you can use for intel. You get backup when you need it. In return all you need to do is perform missions of national concern, and I will only call you if it requires your specific skillset and is desperately needed."

"Does that backup include legal?"

"Yes, for when you eventually get yourself caught." Michael sighed. "We could give you a lawyer at that point or use the presidential order that covers all of us to get you off. It will be your choice" came the chuckling response.

"Thank you for everything you've done Michael. For me, my family, my friends, and those I have messed up with." Oliver said

"Thanks and I've got to go. I think my doctor is coming back". Oliver stated quickly, turning of the phone and shoving it under the mattress in the room.

Line Break/Time Jump

After having made sure all of the money he had stolen off of Adam Hunt was given back to his victims, Oliver headed out from the Foundry. He headed deeper into the glades, eventually standing in front of a 5 story tall warehouse. It was known for being a building in bad shape and one that should have collapsed by now. From above, there was a collapsed roof and lots of debris, but this concealed a secret entrance, as well as two more at ground level to get into a building that was in all reality heavily defended with security and lots of explosives. Oliver entered, and made his way to the main room. He laid his hand on something and said "Hello girl, I have begun, and soon, so will you".

AN: I am heavily modifying the flashbacks. The Season 1-3 flashbacks happened as they did, but each season's occurred in a compressed 8 month period with little time between them, so as to make the first 3 sets of flashbacks happen within the first two years. Season 4's didn't happen, that all with Baron Reiter was really stupid. Season 5's will happen at some point mixed in with what I will have happening to Oliver for his last 3 years, so he is still a Bratva captain.

Lastly, this story is a crossover with a currently mystery fandom. You guys can take guesses at what that is. The first person, maybe the first two to guess correctly as to what fandom it is before the fourth chapter, when it will be revealed, get a sneak peek as to what is coming up, so make your guesses in reviews of PMs to me.

Please review or PM me with suggestions or CONSTRUCTIVE Critiques. Thank you and may the force be with you
