Hey guys

So first to the guest reviewer who said that you can't read it because Nyssa is a lesbian and wouldn't want Oliver. That's on the show and we also have never even heard a conformation either. Only forum of conformation is from the actress Katrina Law. Basically I don't really care since it's up to the author's choice and I'm going to use Nyssa as a romantic partner.

Now we got a fresh trailer of Arrow season 5.

Well I'm going to give the show a few episodes to prove itself but yea my trust and hope for Arrow has been shattered by the past two years.

I will say I've placed a major black mark on them already having by Felicty being the one who comes up with the idea a new team. Just more stupid pandering because apparently Oliver can't have a thought on his own.

For some of the better stuff.

I do like Oliver's new Green Arrow suit. It's amazing how much of a difference the sleeves can make.

The flashback stuff kind of looks a little interesting and Anatoly is back. I figured that on Anatoly coming back, so no surprise. Which hopefully this year the flashbacks last longer then ten seconds.

Now I don't own Arrow or DC comics

Enjoy

Oh, for all those that have read this already I'm having to re-upload this because some how the first time it just disappeared.


Later at the Queen mansion

Oliver is heading for the study room after helping Nyssa get Thea to her room. Even he could tell, Thea was obviously in shock and Nyssa said she would help his sister out. Really, can't say Thea's the only one in shock considering there's a part of him in shock of nearly killing the guy and the other, is just strangely a cold, acceptance.

Oliver gripping ahold of the door handle, has to wonder if there's a side that is buried down, deep within. A side of a cold blooded killer. Oliver pushes those thoughts away as he steps into the room to see both Robert and Moira by the desk.

Despite them having, complete blank faces Oliver has grown up around enough people and including his own parents, plus having perfected one of his own that he's able to tell when they are just masks. Right now, Oliver knows not surprisingly they are unhappy at him most likely.

"How's Thea doing?" Robert asked, concerned.

"She's fine and up resting" Oliver replied, deciding to leave Nyssa out.

"I want to know what on earth caused you to act like a brutal savage, and nearly kill a man? In public no less? Do you even realize the PR damage this is going to require of cleaning up?" Moira asked, a thin line of rage but keeping it restrained.

"Moira, please. We saw the clip ourselves and" Robert begins only is cut off by his wife glaring.

"Because the man was going after my sister and I gave him every chance to walk away, mother" Oliver said.

"You could have handled it differently, I was going to say. I don't agree with the cold savagery you displaced out there today son" Robert said, in a disapproving tone.

"Plus the damage it's going to do for the Queen family publicly and even possibly for Queen Consolidated" Moira said.

"Where either of you even there to pick up Thea today from school when she probably need you the most? No, and the only thing either of you care about is how it's going to affect us publicly or the company" Oliver replied, his control of patience slipping.

"How dare you. Show us some respect when you're talking to us" Moira said, in a demanding tone.

"Neither of you get it from me. I don't give a damn about the tabloids or the PR department. It's sad, that our own parents are not even willing to actually be there for their children" Oliver replied angrily.

Robert and Moira are both seething when Oliver walks out, slamming the door behind him.

Walking through the hallway, Oliver moves down the steps and enters into the living room with sitting on the couch. Throwing his head back, to hit the pillows Oliver tiredly sighs. Needs to get a handle on his emotions brought out from the argument with his parents before going up to see Thea.

"I heard what happened" a male voice said.

Oliver startled looks over to see Malcolm, standing by the door way in his regular black suit and tie. Probably came over to see him and Thea, since he's kind of like their uncle and Robert's best friend.

"Yea, I'm sure you can expect my parents are less then pleased" Oliver said.

"I don't think I will have much success in changing Robert's mind or Moira's. However, I do approve of what you did" Malcolm replied.

"You do?" Oliver asked, surprised.

"You protected your family by doing what was necessary. That's a certain conviction very few people have, Oliver" Malcolm replied.

Giving a slight nod "Thank you. I need to go see Thea" Oliver said, climbing to his feet.

"Right. I'll be in to see her, eventually" Malcolm said.

Oliver just moves past Malcolm and heads up the stairs to at a time, then turning into the hallway sees Nyssa standing there.

"How's Thea?" Oliver asked concerned.

"Your sister is fine but resting" Nyssa replied.

"I'm not used to saying this but thank you. Not many people would be willing to take the time to help either of us" Oliver said, a light smile.

"Thea's why you stay with your parents isn't she?" Nyssa asked.

"I… don't want to leave her all alone to either of them. I'm really the only person she has. If it was just me then…. yea… there are times I've considered leaving" Oliver replied.

"It's a hard choice to make" Nyssa said.

"How did you do it, then?" Oliver asked.

"I lost my sister" Nyssa replied, bluntly.

"I'm, sorry" Oliver said.

"It's fine" Nyssa said, then as she's walking by subtly places something in his hand.

"What's this?" Oliver asked.

"You'll see" Nyssa replied with a wink before descending the steps.

Oliver opens the piece of paper in his hand to discover, an address for an apartment and cell phone number, presumably. Smiling Oliver pockets the paper, knowing he'll have to make use of it later.


Later, at the Merlyn penthouse

After having taken the elevator up, and now inside the hallway, Oliver walks towards the main door when it opens up to reveal Tommy dressed in only his boxers and woman in her early-twenties, fortunately clothed.

Oliver blankly watches as Tommy kisses the woman who he recognizes as upcoming Central City news reporter Iris West, before Iris goes running off down the hallway.

"Let me guess, you told Ms. West you would call her later" Oliver said.

"I know normally we use that as a lie but this time, I just might. She was pretty good" Tommy replied, a massive grin.

"I can't imagine Iris's dad will be all that pleased if he ever finds out" Oliver said, an amusing grin.

Confusion written across his face "Why do you say that?" Tommy asked.

"Because Iris's dad is Joe West and a detective for Central City" Oliver replied.

"Crap. How on earth do you know that?" Tommy asked.

"I read an article Iris wrote in a newspaper once, about her dad. It was an assignment for Harvard before I got kicked out" Oliver said.

"You actually did that. Wait you actually read something?" Tommy asked, kind of shocked.

Letting out a sigh with pinching the bridge of his nose "Yes, I read stuff Tommy and I actually do the work at rare times. We've been kicked out of four colleges but never for failing grades. Or at least, I haven't" Oliver replied.

"Right, well I doubt either of us are going to be getting top of the grades awards, anytime soon. Come on in" Tommy said.

Walking into the apartment with closing the door behind him "Thanks" Oliver said.

"I'm going to put on some clothes then I'll be back out. I think there's some fresh lunch" Tommy said, walking off.

"No, I'm good" Oliver replied moving into the living room.

Moving over to a small bar, Oliver pours himself a glass of Vodka then goes over to a chair with taking light sips every few minutes. Needs something to help calm his nerves after all the craziness from today and just because he's thinking of being a better person. Well, doesn't mean he's going to give up enjoying his alcohol every now and again.

Eventually Tommy comes out wearing a simple dress shirt and pants with sitting himself down on the couch, after pouring himself a glass of whiskey.

After drinking some out of his glass "So what brings you by? Have any idea to go and start some trouble today?" Tommy asked.

"I think I'm in enough media trouble for one day" Oliver said, grimly.

"Why?" Tommy asked.

"You haven't heard?" Oliver wondered.

"Well, I've been… busy and considering how much the garbage news throws garbage out at us every darn second of the day, I don't pay much attention to us" Tommy said.

Chuckling "True. The news media isn't what it used to be and hasn't been for a long time. Well, I was with Thea at the Park when this paparazzi guy came up" Oliver said.

"I hardly see why that's got you in hot water" Tommy said, drinking a good amount from the glass.

"Because… when the guy went after Thea, I lost it Tommy. I beat the guy enough to send him to the hospital and nearly… drowned him" Oliver replied, pain and guilt in his voice.

"If it was anybody else other than Thea, I would be extremely upset but I get it. She's like my sister to and if I saw some creep, getting to close I would gone ballistic" Tommy said.

"Thank you" Oliver replied.

"Still, I think almost nearly becoming a murder is something I don't agree with, ever. You can always be better than the murder who left me without a mother, Oliver" Tommy said, his voice lightly angry.

"Don't worry, it's not like I'm planning on spending my nights out killing bad guys as a vigilante or something" Oliver replied, in a jokily and cynical tone.

Giving a smile "So have any plans or are you just thinking of hiding out?" Tommy asked.

"I was planning on seeing a few people on the possibility of starting a nightclub but those plans where ruined" Oliver replied.

"Starting a nightclub?" Tommy asked, scoffing "The both of us barely know a thing about business. Besides why on earth would you anyway? We have all the money in the world and all the girls at our finger tips, we are like our own Peter Pans."

"Isn't there a part of you just bored by this same old routine?" Oliver asked.

"No, there really isn't. I mean your sudden change of attitude doesn't have to do with the female at Club Zero from last night?" Tommy asked, curious.

"Nyssa? No it has to do with me" Oliver said.

"Good, I was wondering for a second you might actually be thinking of changing just for some catch" Tommy replied.

A serious look "I don't think Nyssa's just some catch this time. Anyhow, I was wondering if you would want to be my partner in the club?" Oliver asked.

"Your serious?" Tommy asked then busts out laughing "No, I'm good. I have no reason to work considering I'm quite happy with my life, Oliver. So when the club idea fades out just know I told you so."

Giving a long sigh "Alright. Enjoy your drinks and everything else" Oliver said, disappointed while getting to his feet.

"The same" Tommy replied, finishing off his drink.

While moving towards the door, Oliver just shakes his head realizing he really shouldn't have expected anything different before leaving.


Hope you guys enjoyed that.

Oliver ends up in hot water not surprisingly with Robert and Moira.

For Iris sleeping with Tommy originally that wasn't even planned but I just end up getting this strange idea to pick Iris. Which I was reminded of something she said in Flash 1x08 about Oliver being like one of the tops five guys she would cheat on Eddie with from I guess Oliver being a former playboy. So I decided her sleeping with Tommy fits.

Not really much else to add.

Until next time
