To answer the question of the guest who asked I'm doing a rewrite of Arrow Rebooted, I want to do it a bit more accurately based off of what happened in the show and also there were some things about it that I just wanted to change and decided to just redo the whole project.
The next morning, Oliver and Laurel arrived at the Queen family mansion for breakfast and Oliver was surprised to find Tommy was there to.
"Tommy, what are you doing here?" Oliver asked.
"Laurel asked me to meet her here." Tommy said.
"Yeah, we need to talk about something alone." Oliver said.
"You two aren't having an affair are you?" Oliver asked jokingly.
"No, I got that out of my system when Laurel and I dated for about a year." Tommy said.
"Wait, when did you two date?" Oliver asked.
"The entire first year you were back." Laurel said and now it all made sense to Oliver.
"Tommy, when was the last time you saw me before yesterday?" Oliver asked.
"In the rubble of CNRI after my father had demolished the Glades and you were begging me to hang in there." Tommy said and Oliver threw his arms around his best friend.
"Tommy, it's really you." Oliver said, not believing it.
"It's me man and before you start apologizing, what happened to me, it wasn't your fault. And I was wrong about you. You're not a murderer. Laurel told me about everything you'd done since my death and I realized that I was wrong. You're not a killer. You're a hero who sometimes has to kill." Tommy said.
"I gave up killing after you died. Which was a mistake since Laurel died because of my reluctance to kill. I'm not making the same mistake twice." Oliver said.
"I know and I want to help you." Tommy said.
"How?" Oliver asked.
"Both Malcolm and I have been giving Tommy lessons in combat, though Malcolm doesn't know I've been training him, since Tommy's doppelganger of this earth died and he took his place and decided he wanted to help bring his father down." Laurel said.
"I've also infiltrated Tempest to help us bring them down." Tommy said and Oliver smiled.
"Music to my ears. But anyways, we'd better get to breakfast before my mom calls the cops." Oliver said as they headed into the dining room.
"About time you decided to join us." Thea grumbled as her brother, his best friend and the woman who'd been like an older sister to her finally entered the dining room.
"Sorry, Tommy and I were making plans to go out and see how much the city has changed in five years." Oliver said and Thea nodded in understanding as they took their seats.
"So Laurel, how's everything with your family, I mean I know your parents split up, but what about Sara?" Oliver asked.
"Sara actually joined the FBI a few years ago and she met someone in there." Laurel said.
"Really, who?" Oliver asked.
"She fell for her superior agent, Ava Sharpe. I've met her and while Ava is a little high strung, she's not too bad to be around." Laurel said.
"I never thought Sara Lance would go into work as law enforcement. I thought she was almost as much into partying as you are Tommy." Oliver said.
"Yeah well, Sara and I both grew up after you were shipwrecked. I actually work for my dad now and he's grooming me to take over Merlyn Global." Tommy said.
"Wow, hell really has frozen over." Oliver said as Raisa brought out food to them.
"Thank you Raisa. But anyways, Speedy, how's school going?" Oliver asked.
"First off, Speedy still the worst nickname ever." Thea said.
"Hey, considering how much you chased me around as a kid, it seemed appropriate." Oliver said.
"Anyways, to answer your question Ollie, I'm doing fine in school." Thea said as Moira joined them.
"I think that's an understatement Thea considering you made the honor roll." Moira said proudly.
"Say what?" Oliver asked.
"It's true, after the accident, mom and dad began watching me like a hawk and well, I guess something just began to click." Thea said.
"Any ideas what you want to do after high school Thea?" Laurel asked.
"Not yet, but I still have a few months to figure that out." Thea said and Laurel nodded as she checked the time.
"Crap, I have to get to work, but I will see you tonight." Laurel said as she kissed her boyfriend before heading out.
"Dad gave me a few days off so I'm free to go whenever you are." Tommy said and Oliver nodded as he finished and the boys headed out.
"How is it that in this universe, the Gambit triggered a much more positive reaction to everyone else's lives?" Oliver asked.
"Simple, your father and Sara weren't on the ship when it went down this time." Tommy answered like it should be obvious before they headed out to the car.
