*Coast City in the afternoon*
Oliver and Thea arrived at Coast City after a road trip away from Starling City. The plans for the trip came to be after Oliver defeated Ra's al Ghul and a heated argument transpires among Team Arrow. Diggle and Felicity were upset with Oliver for his decision to team up with Malcolm to stop Ra's plan of spreading a deadly virus as well as putting Diggle's family at risk. Oliver states that it wasn't about trust and reminds them that when it first started being a vigilante that they witness how he would do anything to save his city yet still chose to help him so if anything Oliver felt they should have trusted him. The exchange leads to both Diggle and Felicity leaving with Felicity and Ray reestablishing their relationship while Laurel chooses to stay on the team.
Due to Thea being resurrected by the Lazarus, Oliver decides to take a short trip out of Starling City to allow him and Thea some quality time with Laurel and Nyssa agreeing to watch over the city until they return and come up with a way for Oliver to being a vigilante.
As the two enjoy lunch together, Thea speaks up asking, "So how do you feel about everything that went down recently?"
Oliver looks up at her with a confused expression. "Don't we have this backward? You are the one that got killed and brought back to life, not to mention things not working out between you and Roy, so as your big brother I suppose to make sure that you are okay."
"True but you had a lot to deal with as well, if not more, from not only watching me die. On top of working with my so call dad who nearly got you killed because of me, being undercover as that Ras lackey, and things not working out with you and Felicity and Diggle leaving." Thea counters not letting her brother close out on her like in the past.
"Thea none of that was your fault all the blame goes to Malcolm, and I wouldn't change doing all that I did if it meant saving you and the city. I can understand Diggle not wanting his family harm. However, he should have known I would have blown my cover to make sure his family was not hurt. Besides he and Felicity couldn't give me any alternatives to defeat Ra's so yes I had to go to those extreme measures." Oliver sighs before continuing.
"As far as me Felicity goes; I think ultimately it wouldn't work between us considering all the signs that were there. While the idea was nice in the beginning us not being together is for the best. Plus, she's better off with Ray."
Thea could tell that Oliver is serious about moving on from Felicity which she couldn't precisely feel sad for the blonde tech wasn't her prefer choice for Ollie. All she wants is for Oliver to have that happiness he deserves if only the right person could bring him that.
"You deserve somebody too; maybe you could fix things with Laurel," Thea suggests lightly since she always liked the two together.
Sadly, Oliver shakes his head at the idea. "That's probably not a road she and I will cross again. True she handled my decisions better than Felicity did, I caused enough damage with cheating on her with Sara, and I barely have a friendship with her right now. With that said, it might be a sign that I'm better off without a significant other."
Thea hates hearing those words concerning her brother though she could relate to his pain. "The same could be said about me." The thoughts or Roy enter her mind.
Oliver gently places his hand on top of hers for comfort. "You have a much better chance than me Speedy. Regardless I am here, and you won't have to worry about dealing with the effects of the pit alone, you know that right?"
Thea smiles for unlike in the past when they both kept things from her; she believes now they bond is far stronger than ever. "I appreciate that a lot Ollie, I love you and will be there for you too."
"Love you too sis." Oliver smiles back.
The siblings let the moment sink in until Thea glance over his shoulder and notices someone. "Hey, Ollie that woman looks familiar over there."
Olive over his shoulder to see who Thea was referring to and couldn't believe his eyes. "No freaking way." He gets up, with Thea following behind him, and run over to the lady standing with a younger guy that seems to be Thea's age.
"Mckenna!?" Oliver greets excitedly.
Mckenna, the woman Oliver dated at one-point time after returning from the island, turns around in shock and quickly smiles seeing Oliver again. "Oh my god Oliver, long time no see!" The two share a tight hug that didn't go unnoticed by Thea and the guy Mckenna is with.
"I know right it has to be like two years since the last time I saw you," Oliver said remembering the last time he saw her she was in the hospital. During a brief battle with Helena had shot the detective meaning to shoot Oliver causing Mckenna to move to Coast City to get the best treatment the city has which would take a year to recover.
"Yes it has, I meant to visit, but I hadn't had the time since major opportunities came out of me moving here. Good to see you too Thea, wow you have grown up." Mckenna acknowledges Thea, still loving that she and Oliver are still close despite how grown she is now.
"Thanks and nice to see a familiar friendly face around here," Thea said in a friendly matter. She recalls how happy Oliver was with Mckenna and even though Laurel would be her favorite Thea didn't mind Mckenna especially when Mckenna helped her with her case one time.
"Likewise." Mckenna than introduce the young man beside her. "Oh yeah, this is my cousin Virgil. Virgil this is Oliver and Thea Queen; we go way back."
Virgil shakes hands with both Oliver and Thea. "Virgil Hawkins at your service. I heard of you both, the famous Queen siblings. It's a pleasure to meet you both though I'm surprised that my cousin here didn't tell me she knew you both." He gives Mckenna a playful glare.
"Slipped my mind maybe?" Mckenna shrug and turns her attention back to Oliver. "Anyways what brings you two Coast city?"
"To get away for a bit, some things happen as of late so we felt that we could use a vacation." Oliver answers.
"Ah make sense. Sometimes we all need a getaway from reality to help us see things in a different light." Mckenna responds.
"I agree." Oliver and Mckenna begin to give each other looks that made Virgil and Thea groan mentally but does present an opportunity to play wing woman for her brother. "You know what Ollie, we don't have any specific plans for today so why don't you and detective here go somewhere nice and I will meet you back at the hotel later."
Oliver's eyes go wide at Thea's suggestion, even though he would like to spend some time with Mckenna he didn't want to interrupt his time with Thea. "Um, I'm sure Mckenna and her cousin probably have plans."
Catching on to Thea's plan, Virgil speaks up before Mckenna can and says, "I don't have nothing going on either, and neither does she so hey she's all your homie."
"Virgil?!" Mckenna glares at him with disbelief. Yes, she deep down wants to catch up with Oliver, but she didn't want to intrude on his possible plans as well.
"While I'm at it, I will show Thea around, and we will meet up later if that's okay with her?" Virgil offers his arm to Thea.
"Sure sounds like a plan to me. See you later Ollie!" Thea loops her arms with his, and the two take off before Oliver and Mckenna could stop them.
"Thea!? Virgil!?" Oliver and Mckenna yell but it was no use at this point, for now, the two of them are alone where a shy laughter came out from the two.
"So I guess it's just you and me now. Sorry for my sister's actions." Oliver rubs the back of his head feeling embarrassed.
"Oh no if anything my cousin is to blame here, although this would be your chance to try some of Coast City's Soufflé with as you quoted once a beautiful girl." She offers in a flirty tone causing Oliver to smile widely remembering when he said that to her when they started dating.
"Seriously? Lead the way." Oliver said for he likes the idea of trying out the city's Soufflé as well and going on an unexpected date with the lovely Mckenna Hall.
AN: Ah yes after so long, I got myself into writing another Oliver x Mckenna Hall. This idea came about when I rewatched S1 of Arrow (still is the best season for me) where I remember how torn I was between wanting Oliver either with Helena or Mckenna. After doing one-shots with the two ladies before, I still have a hard time deciding which one I prefer more though I think I slightly like Helena more. With Mckenna, she seems like a good fit for Oliver for she was pretty down to earth and seem to want the relationship to work out between the two despite their lives being busy. While I'm not sure how she would have reacted about Oliver being The Hood but I'm confident with her knowing some of what Oliver went through on the island that Mckenna would have come around.
With the recent success for her role in the new Star Wars game as well as Stephen Amell giving her a shout out for a fan theory that she could have been Vigilante, I figure why not do another story with her role as Mckenna while adding a bit of her real-life success to her character. Originally the character was supposed to come back in S2, it never occurred, but I think this wouldn't be a terrible way to have her return or appear as a cameo.
Also, what do you of Virgil Hawkins role here and the possible idea of Virgil x Thea (not that it would happen right away in this universe)? Lately, I been trying to come up with the idea of doing an Arrowverse story with Static and this one way I thought of and that's him being cousins of Mckenna. If people like the idea I might do something like that in a long-term setting, otherwise I do have an Oliver x Helena idea. Shout out to LycoX for his Don't Go story because that fic made me realize that Oliver shouldn't have left her sister the way he did. Thus why I had the Oliver & Thea moment, in the beginning, making me appreciate the scenes between the two more.
Side note the reason I haven't updated or came out with more Arrowverse content is that I haven't been motivated too by the way the shows are currently going. Never got into LOT, Supergirl is pretty decent this season IMO, but I only catch highlights of it, Flash S4 is Arrow S4 enough said, and Arrow had much better days. I don't know what my future holds as far as writing more Arrowverse stuff, but maybe this will help get back into the swing of things.
