So, I am extremely sorry for the unreasonable delay. I think it has been over six months? I don't know...I just left the fandom for a while and real life caught up like anything. Anyways, this is a Christmas present. Some questions will be answered and maybe some fluff? I have no idea. I have five more chapters to go...so hopefully by February this will end!

mjf2468: I hope you are still around! This chapter will hopefully give some answers? I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Guest: Thank you so much!

The WayOfLife-447: Wow, thank you so much! I have updated now, hope this is good enough! Merry Christmas!

Rupayan: Well, yes! I never abandon a story, only take an unreasonable long break!

Tempe4Booth: Well, it was your review which made me update! hope you enjoy this!


Tommy just lay on his bed, imagining his day couldn't have gone weirder. There was a world where Oliver had gone through everything he had and without any power. Oh dear Lord, how did he survive?

He suddenly felt a vibration in the pocket of the pants he had been given.

Tommy smiled. Yes, his magic worked on alternate Earth. He pulled out a small rectangular mirror from his pocket and saw the runic writing on the back glow a golden hue. He couldn't help but smile.

Tommy sat up and waved his left hand over the mirror and the reflective surface changed into the image of a familiar beautiful brunette staring back at him.

"Hey, Snowball."

"Thank God I remember how to use this." A frantic Caitlin Snow stated. "How are you-? I mean, where are you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Caitlin. That portal sucked me into another Earth but I'm safe." Tommy told his wife. "Turns out I wasn't the only one."

"What do you mean?" She tilted her head and oh dear lord, Tommy missed his wife.

"Yeah, three other Green Arrows from other Earths got taken from theirs and brought to Earth-1 where we met this Earth's Green Arrow," Tommy explained. "Still don't know why though."

"So, there are three doppelgangers of you from other Earths?" Caitlin asked, her scientific curiosity piqued.

Tommy couldn't help but smile at her. "Not exactly. They're doppelgangers of Oliver and Laurel. As well as Mr and Mrs Queen."

"Oh." Caitlin breathed. She knew how much Robert and Moira meant to Tommy. Two people, he felt he had failed. "That must feel... surreal for you."

Tommy sighed. "And then some."

Tommy heard a set of footsteps and looked up, only to see Thea enter. Tommy waved and Thea gave him a small smile. However, the smile slowly disappeared as she saw Tommy holding a mirror. Raising an eyebrow, she came closer, only to be shooed away by Tommy.

"So, how's the team holding up?" Tommy asked, looking back at the mirror.

"They're frantic. Barry and Wally literally looked all over the world to see if you were teleported somewhere else. Cisco and Ryan are helping Dr Wells build a dimensional locating device to see if they pinpoint your location." Caitlin explained, probably ignoring the little show. "Even Kyle came back from Oa to join in the search. Cole called him and he didn't hesitate."

Tommy smiled. Glad to have his friends watching his back. "But I'm guessing that you aren't reaching for scientific answers?"

Caitlin nods. "Your cousin is here."

"Z? She's there?" Tommy asked.

"She said as soon as your... mystical energy left this Earth, she... um, astral projected here to get you back."

"I appreciate what everyone is doing but I seem safe here. I even met their Thea." He looked up and gave her a wink. "She seems almost exactly like ours."

Thea huffed and crossed her arms. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"That's another Thea?" Tommy nodded. "Oh, seems like you are enjoying yourself. Well, I have to go. You take care of yourself, okay? I need you home. We all do."

"I will," Tommy said softly. "You and Frosty keep the team in line."

"Oh, I guarantee she will." She said with a mischievous look. "I love you."

"I love you too," Tommy told her, fighting back tears.

With that, his wife's face faded and the mirror reverted to a regular mirror.

"So," Thea nodded. "Is that... Your magical powers?"

Tommy shrugged. "It is one of many things I can do."

Thea scoffed. "Must be weird."

Tommy smiled, before settling into silence. When Tommy looked up, he saw Thea staring at him, as if he was a piece of art. Which he was, quite honestly.

"Um, Thea?"

The younger woman snapped out of her daydream and blushed. "Sorry, I just...this is too real."

Tommy chuckled. "Tell me about it. Mr Queen's alive, and everyone else is so...different. Even you are different."

Thea smiled. Tommy shifted back, a question in the back of his mind. Who was a better person to get answers than Thea?

"Thea, if you don't mind me asking," he finally said, "what happened to my...other self, here?"

Thea's breath hitched as she shook her head. "Wha happened wrong with everyone. The Undertaking."


"Hey, um, Dad? Can we talk?"

Robert felt a warm feeling as he heard Oliver call his Dad. It had been so long...six years since he had seen his son. And here he was, calling him Dad.

"Of course Oliver!" he said with a smile. Oliver nodded before sitting down in front of him on the sofa.

Robert sighed. How much this boy had grown up! "You have managed to make quite a name for yourself, I see!"

As Oliver raised an eyebrow, Robert showed his phone. There was the article about how Oliver became the Mayor.

"Felicity gave me the password. I was just...catching up on your world."

Oliver smiled. "It was just a thought. After Mom...I thought I could give it a try and so far it has worked for me."

Robert nodded. "It is a very good thing. I see Queen Consolidated didn't make it."

"I was never a good businessman. And with Isbael Rochev..."

Robert immediately sat straight. "What about Isabel?"

Oliver noticed the offensive stand his father's doppelganger took. Frowning, he said, "She made it her life's aim to destroy the company. And with the Mirakuru in her veins, she wasn't exactly the best version of her."

Oliver watched as his father lost himself in deep thought. "You don't like her, do you?"

"She tried to kill me and my whole family," Oliver pointed out, "We weren't exactly friends. Why?"

As Robert did not answer, Oliver continued, "I know about you and her...she definitely hated me."

"Oliver," Robert slowly massaged his temples, "Moira is dead on my Earth. Amell...he was becoming his worse self. I needed help and..."

"And you got back with her."Oliver finished with a sigh. "Well, you are an adult and you know how to make your choices so I can't really say much, now, can I?"

"You can say anything that you want to Oliver," Robert said, slowly crouching forward. "I might not be your father and you might not be my son, but we can have some kind of a...well, relationship."

Oliver nodded. This was too much to handle. "All right."

Robert nodded, sitting back straight. "You wanted to talk to me about something?"

Oliver nodded, sitting straight. "It is something that Thea pointed out and I couldn't help but, ponder over it. You have been warm towards everyone, except Tommy."

At the mention of his name, Robert's whole demeanour changed. "Now, whatever he did on your Earth, this is not your Tommy. While you were being unwelcoming towards him, that's fine but..."

"Thomas Merlyn is not Tommy." Robert finally cut in. Oliver looked at Robert and suddenly he felt like a child. The look that Robert was giving him was the one he had reserved for his opponents. "I understand that this Tommy is not the person that I have come across. But seeing your biggest arch nemesis in a good light doesn't help anyone."

Oliver raised his eyebrow. "Arch-nemesis?"

"Who is one person who has been plaguing you, Oliver? No matter what you do, who is the shadow who never leaves your side?"

Oliver's breath hitched. "Malcolm Merlyn. Though he dies last year but..."

"Well then Thomas is my Malcolm Merlyn," Robert said, looking straight. "I killed him last month, but knowing that bastard, he would probably come back just like that."

Taking a deep breath, Robert continued, "I understand what you are asking from me, but understand that it is not something which I will be able to do much sooner."

Oliver nodded. If a doppelganger of Malcolm Merlyn came to him and said that he was the Green Arrow...Oliver shivered. That would be impossible for him to accept.

"Oliver?"

Oliver and Robert both turned to see Felicity looking at them. What had she heard?

"There's a call from the Mayor's office," she said, looking at Oliver only, "They need you to come in today. Think you can manage?"

Oliver sighed, shaking his head. "Do I have a choice?"

Felicity's pout made it clear that he did not.

"Fine, I will go. Dad, you want to come?"

Robert raised an eyebrow. "How will you explain your dead father in the office?"

Oliver shrugged.

"You can take Tommy," Felicity and piped in, "I mean if he can do illusions he can probably change faces."
