DICLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ARROW
A.N: I just want clarify about what I will be doing with Tommy. In the last chapter when I said that Tommy will be a member of Team Arrow I didn't mean that he becomes a Super Hero right away because honestly I have no idea what kind superhero he would be. For season 1 I was really only planning on him being involved with the team (meaning he would be there when group deceptions are being made). The ONLY reason I asked that question in the last chapter was to get an idea IF Tommy were to become a superhero.
Warning more Laurel V.S Liz in this chapter ;)
Honor Thy Father Part 2
Liz's P.O.V
I should have known that I would be asked about Uncle Alfred and Joe, but I have been trying to not think about it because it hurts.
'Well Miss Wilson?' the judge's voice echoes into my ears.
I take a deep breath and answer 'I never said that my whole family was dead, I just said that I didn't have a family'
The judge looks at me for a few minutes and says 'well can you please tell me what you mean by that, how about you start with your uncle'
I nod and answer 'As growing up I didn't see or heard much from him, in all of my life I only saw him five times, I don't blame him for that, I'm sure you also have I written there about his job' and it's true my mother and I never blamed Uncle Alfred, Bruce Wayne need him more than we did. I may lied a bit not hearing from Uncle Alfred he did call at least once a month to check up on us.
'Yes he is the Butler for the Wayne Family'
'The most I've seen and talked to him was when my mother got sick and he and Bruce helped with Hospital bills' again I half lied, I did see and talk to Uncle Alfred the most when my mother got ill, however they didn't pay for the Hospital bills, they helped me to make it look like they did.
'I see, how about your brother' she asks. I close my eyes and take a deep breath trying not to cry. 'It's alright, take your time' the judge tells me, I open my eyes something wet run down my cheek.
I ignore the tear and start talking 'when my mother got sick, we had this big argument and he left the country, that's all I'm going to say about the matter' I don't talk about driving my brother out the country.
'alright that is all I need and now you are legally allowed in this county and to work here' I thanked her and left, I could feel my eyes started to burn from the tears, I needed to find Oliver.
^A&C^
Oliver's P.O.V
That was tough, I'm glad it's over, talking about that night, my farther and having to lie about it. I had just told mom that I didn't want to visit the Office today and I'm glad that see didn't push me to go there.
'Last week, you couldn't wait to get to the company' Tommy tells me, I was about to answer but stopped when I saw Liz near the bottom of the stairs, crying.
'Liz what's wrong' yelled to her, quickly making my way to her. Instead of an answer she just hugged me 'I'm sorry, I just need a minute' she whispers to me and I hug her back not caring that people are watching.
After a few minutes she pulls away (much to my disappointment) and takes a deep breath. Before I could Tommy asks her 'are you alright, what happened in there?' I couldn't help but feel a tiny bit jealous about the quick friendship they made, it took me awhile to get the same level of trust from Liz as Tommy has now, but if I didn't know that about Tommy's feeling for Laurel I know for a fact that I would feel more jealous.
'I'm fine it's just the judge stared asking questions about my family and I just got a bit emotional' Liz answers. Me and Tommy share look saying to ask anymore.
'Let's get out of here' I tell Liz. I take hold of her hand and lead her to the front door; before we could we bumped into Laurel.
'Hi' I say awkwardly. Not knowing what to say after all last time I talked to her I told to stay away from me.
'What are you doing here?' she asks me with a straight face, she looks down at my hand which was still holding Liz's. Laurel's facial exertion turned a bit sower.
'Oh, they were bringing me back from the dead, legally speaking. What are you doing here?' I stupidly ask her already knowing why she's here 'my job' she says shortly, she clearly wants this conversation done. 'More like the D.A's.' Laurels' friend says trying to lighten the mood but failed.
I see a blond woman behind Laurel and decide to intrude myself. 'Hi, Oliver Queen.' I hold my free hand for her to shake 'Emily Nocenti' Emily says shaking my hand, before either of us could say anything Laurel started speaking.
'Oliver just got back from five years on an uncharted island. Before that, he was cheating on me with my sister. He was with her when she died. And last week, he told me to stay away from him. It was really good advice.' I felt Liz let go of my hand and step forward.
Oh no she lost her temper again
Liz's P.O.V
'Is that all you care about?' I ask Laurel and look her right in the eye.
'Excuse me' she asks, I cannot believe the bitch accuracy looks confused. I have had it
'YOUR SISTER DIED!' I screamed at her. I yelled so loudly my voice echoed through the room and everyone stopped to look at us.
'Your sister died and you're going around telling people how she slept with your boyfriend, is that how you want her to be remembered!' I yell right in her face. 'What kind of sick person does that, what do you gain from going around tell people tell random people ONE mistake your sister made, is it pity?' I ask her. I am now standing right in front of her, my chest is an inch away from hers. 'That's it isn't, you want people to feel sorry for you' I now say more quietly. Laurel looks away and doesn't look me in the eye 'you're sick you know that' I finally say and start walking towards the exit but not before hitting her shoulder with mine.
Tommy's P.O.V
When Liz leaves Laurel is looking down onto the floor and I look and see that people are looking at Laurel with a disgusted faces. 'Alright that's enough, shows over' I yell and everyone goes back to what they were doing before Liz lost it.
I turned back to Laurel and saw that Oliver was looking at her 'I know your mad about what happened, I know that what me and Sara did was wrong, but she doesn't deserve to be remembered that way' that's all he says and goes after Liz.
When he's gone laurel finally started talking 'I only wanted Oliver to feel guilty what he did'
'he does feel guilty Laurel, so stop reminding him and everyone because Liz is right your using Sara for your own personal gain' I tell her and go to follow Oliver.
I got outside and see Oliver about to get in the car with Liz already in it. When I finally reach the car it drove away with Oliver's bodyguard still outside. 'This happens to you a lot, doesn't it?' I asked him as I watched the car.
Liz's P.O.V
'Martin Somers, Laurel's targeted the worst of starling city, so it's no surprise his name is on my father's list.' Oliver tells me while we were training at our base. I'm annoyed that we are going after some who Laurel pissed off AGAIN, seriously Oliver thinks that she's a saint for going after the same people in his list but the fact is that Laurel pisses off nearly everyone she meets very easily.
'And the city's police and the D.A. can't stop him or won't.' I tell him
'Laurel thinks she's the only one willing to bring him to justice.'
'Well she's wrong and I will gladly prove that right' I say with a smile
^A&C^
We were at Somers' warehouse, and Oliver was now getting Somers and tells him to confess. When Oliver brought him he was unconscious so for fun I tired him upside down.
When he came too Oliver spoke first 'Martin Somers, you have failed this city'. While Oliver was saying this all Somers kept yelling was no, what a wimp. I got sick of those no's and started throwing knifes at him and he tried to dodge them.
'You're gonna play nice and confess to having Victor Nocenti killed.' I tell him
'There won't be a second warning' Oliver says next and shoots an arrow at Somers' cheek and cuts it. While Somers is distracted by the cut on his cheek me and Oliver leaves.
^A&C^
When we got home we heard Moira yelling at Diggle for losing Oliver…again. I look at Oliver as see that he string to sneak upstairs properly to make sure he doesn't get seen by this mother but I stopped him by grabbing the back of his suit.
'Where are you going?' I ask
'Bed' he answers shortly
'Really? Without apologising to Diggle for leaving him again' I say this while giving him a look. We stair at each other's eyes and I push him towards where Moira and Diggle are and follow him trying to forget the way he looked at me because that's impossible Oliver doesn't see me that way.
Oliver's P.O.V
Liz is right I should apologise but I know that when I do I will have to lie to everyone again. I wish that I could tell mom and Thea what happened in the island they wouldn't see Oliver Queen any more all they would see is a monster and I don't think I would be able to survive if they looked at me like that, the same way Liz once looked at me at one point during the five years.
I walk in to the room and heard my mom asking Diggle 'Now where do you think my son is going on these chaperone-less excursions?'
'Ma'am, I truly do not know.' Diggle answers and I can tell that he's getting annoyed with this convocation.
'And he truly doesn't.' I answer to get my mom's attention away from Diggle
'Then perhaps you'd like to share with me you know, where it is you run off to or what about you Elizabeth.' Mom says looking at Liz; I hope she doesn't start blaming her for me not being around.
Before I could say anything Liz beats me to it 'Moira I know that that you just got Oliver back and that you are scared that you will lose him again, but you have to understand that for five years Oliver has been alone for five years and the only company he has had is me…'
'I know that' Mom interrupts Liz
'Mom … alone.' I tell her, hopefully she doesn't take the alone part the wrong way and embassies me like she did when Liz first come and asked her if she was staying in a guest room or mine. 'I see, but I'd rather you promise to take Mr. Diggle with you on your next rendezvous. It's not safe; you've already been abducted once. There are two maniacs out there, hunting the wealthy' Mom answered.
'Those maniacs saved Oliver's life' Liz reminds my mom. I can see what she's doing she's trying to show that the 'maniacs' aren't as bad as people thought.
'I lost you once. And I am not going through that again.' Mom tells me ignoring what Liz said.
'Okay. Digg's my guy' I tell mom to end this conversation. She thanks me and leaves the room.
I was about to leave too when Liz gave me a look and I just remember why I came here in the first place. 'Sorry to give you so much grief.' I tell Diggle
'I served three tours in Afghanistan, Mr. Queen. You don't even come close to my definition of grief. But I tell you what you ditch me one more time; no one will have to fire me.' With that he leaves
'now was so hard' Liz tells me with a smirk and I just answer 'yes'
We leave and go to our rooms when I saw Thea in a very short dress like the dress Liz wore at my welcome back party 'Where you going?' I ask her
'Uh somewhere loud and smoky. And don't bother trying to pickpocket my stash this time; because I'm gonna go get drunk instead.' She tells me
'Accuracy I was the one who pickpocket you' Liz says raising her hand, trying lighten the mood but failed.
'Thea, do you think this is what dad would want for you?' I ask hopefully guilt tripping her works.
'Dead people don't want anything. It's one of the benefits of being dead.' Tring to act smart.
'I was dead. And I wanted a lot.' I reminded her
'Except for your family.' Thea replies 'Thea!' Liz scolds 'You've been home a week and all you do is avoid mom, ignore Walter, and judge me. Don't wait up.' With that Thea leaves.
I take a deep breath and turn to Liz 'what should I do' I ask her
'I know you don't want her to make the same mistakes as you did when you were younger but the more you try and push her the more your pushing her to making the same mistakes as you did'
^A&C^
Liz's P.O.V
The next day I was sitting in the living with a laptop on my lap looking for a possible job, since Oliver and I got of the island I have been using his money to buy the things I need.
'What are you doing?' I heard a voice from behind me and I turned around and saw Thea leaning against the sofa I was sitting on. 'I'm looking for a job, I can't live of your family's money forever' I answer her
'Have you found anything yet?' Thea asks as she sits down next to me.
'No I haven't there isn't anything that sounds interesting for me' I reply
'Well what did you do before you were on the island? Maybe you could that again?'
I robed banks…I can't tell her that 'I worked at an animal shelter that my mother owned and ran' I tell Thea. It's that I worked at my mother's animal shelter but was only part time, I spend most of my time pickpocketing and shoplifting and that's how I how I made most of my money. My mother knew about thieving I did, but never got mad at for it, she knew why I did it. But she did help me stop but that only lasted for year. I stared thieving again when she got sick.
'Well why don't you get a job at an animal shelter then?' Thea asks me
'I thought about it but I wouldn't feel right working at an animal shelter. Anyway should you be at school?' I ask her
'Nope' she answers with a smile, I don't know whether or not she lying
'Ok' I look at her for minute and decide to talk her about last night. 'You know what you said last night to Oliver was harsh'
'Well I don't. Ever since he came back, he completely ignores mom and every conversation we had has been with each other is him judging me. Doesn't he get that it was hard for mom and I for the last five years and the way he's treating us isn't helping' Thea answers
'Have you told him' I asked her
'Yes of cour..' Thea started but I cut her off by saying 'no…have you really told him?'
… 'No' Thea replies.
'Then when he comes back from the office tell him' I tell her while giving her a side hug.
'Ok…I just wish that he would let someone in, who hasn't seen what both seen on that island.'
^A&C^
Sometime later Oliver came home looking upset, but I didn't say anything to him because knew that Thea needed to talk to Oliver about how she felt. Thea was right Oliver needed to let someone in that wasn't me and that person is Laurel, no matter how much it hurts.
So when Thea and Oliver were talking I snuck out and called Tommy asked (more liked begged) to tell me where Laurel lived. Before I got there I brought some ice-cream as a peace offering. As I knocked on the door all I kept thinking was Oliver you own me big time.
When Laurel opened the door I talked before she could 'Hi. Are you okay? There are two cop cars outside.'
'What are you doing here, Elizabeth?' Laurel asked as she leaned against her door, not looking happy that I'm here.
'Thea has pointed something out to me, since Oliver got back he has been distant and he needs someone in and I don't want the reason for him to not let you in, is because we don't get along.' I tell her awkwardly
'You do know that Oliver is the one who told me to stay away from him'
'Well I'm sure he did that to protect you…from me…from hitting you…again. And in an odd way I'm sorry for that. The thing is no matter what, we're both going to be in Oliver's life and I think that it will be easier for everyone if we get along somehow' I tell her still standing there outside her door.
Laurel stands there for a minute; I can clearly see that she's thinking about what I said. After a while she finally let me in and I thanked her for that.
'Wow your place is really nice' I say looking around her apartment.
'Thanks' Laurels answers shortly, I can tell that she's not 100% comfortable with me being here.
'Listen I didn't know what Oliver was like before the island but I know that he isn't that person anymore, now he's just damaged' I tell just getting to the point to avoid any more awkwardness.
'What's in the bag?' Laurel asks changing the subject.
'I thought about many things on the island, but there was one thing that I thought about every day. I actually dreamed about it, and I thought what better place to do with a new friend…eat ice cream' I say with a smile and by the look on Laurels face I can tell that she's trying not to laugh.
Sometime later Laurel and I finished our ice creams and while we were eating Laurel told me some stories about Oliver before he came to the island and I told about my life before the island.
'You know I may have been a bit harsh with you the other day, it wasn't my place to say those things' I tell her
'It may have been harsh but it's what I need to hear. Even though it's been five years, I'm still not over what happen.'
'You never get over a death of someone you love, it's been five years since my mother died angry about it all you can really do is accept what had and move on with your life'. I tell her, now looking at her.
'Yeah you can tell that I and my dad haven't moved on' Laurel tells me with a bitter laugh.
'Honestly, I think that with Oliver coming back and hearing that a woman was saved with him and it wasn't Sara has just brought back all that anger to the surface again.'
'I think your right … you know my father blames himself more than he blames Oliver. He thinks that, you know, maybe if he and Sarah were closer, she would have told him about the boat trip. And he could have stopped her from going with Oliver.' She admits to me.
'You know he's sorry for what happened' I tell her defending Oliver
'I know, he apologized already'
Before I could reply I heard something 'Did you hear that?'
'What?' Laurel asks looking around. I too look around to see where the noise came from and see that it came from the fire escape, I pick up a knife that was on the tea table and grab hold of Laurel's hand and run for the front door. 'There's someone on the fire escape'
Before we got to the front door some men broke down the door. So we headed to her bedroom but some more men jumped through the window, when we turned back an Asian woman with long white hair jump out in front of us. She was about to attack when…
(I was going to stop there, but because it's been such a long time since I updated I'm not gonna do that :) )
'Liz!' I heard Oliver yell and suddenly everyone were shooting guns even Diggle (who came with Oliver). Because of all the guns shooting me and laurel tried to cover. I turned to Oliver and saw that he was trying to get to us. But because I was so distracted by Oliver, I felt a bullet go through my shoulder and a screamed in pain.
'Liz!' Oliver yelled again. When I looked up I noticed that nearly all of the men ether knocked out or dead. All accept one (the woman with the white hair), who Diggle was fighting with and losing. I looked at Oliver and saw that that he looking for way to help Diggle without letting anyone know about his ability to fight. I look at the knife in I had in my hand and yell out to Oliver and slid the knife across the floor for him to pick up and throws the knife at the woman's hand and she runs away.
^A&C^
When the police came I was taken to the hospital to have my shoulder taken care off. Oliver couldn't come with me because he had to answer some questions about what happened I would be doing that another day because of my injury. For some reason the doctor injected me with something to make the pain go away (however there wasn't much pain in the first place) it didn't only take the plain away it made me well loopy.
So when Oliver came to pick me up and took me home I wasn't acting like myself.
'I can't believe they gave me pain killers, I bet they did that because I'm a girl' I whine in a baby voice as Oliver led me upstairs to my room.
'I'm sure that that's not true' Oliver tell me in an amused tone
'I'm not girl I'm a woman, can't you tell by the size of my chest' pointing at D sized chest.
'Yes I know Liz'
'You pervert you have been looking at my chest haven't you?' I say giggling
'Oh look here's your room' Oliver replies very quickly changing the subject
Still giggling 'thanks Ollie' and I grab hold of his face and bring his lips down to mine. At first I can tell he's shocked and when he starts to kiss me back I pull away 'bye bye' I tell him and enter my room and minute my head touched the pillow I feel asleep.
And when I woke up the next morning I didn't remember anything that happened after I entered the hospital.
A.N: For those who are wondering Oliver took care of Somers on his own after he took Liz home.
Well I'm back and I'm so so so sorry for not updating for so long, I won't explain why because I bet that most of you probably don't want to be bored with me explaining why. So as a sorry gift for you I finished the episode and added a kiss ;).
Question of the chapter: How long do you think this 'friendship' between Liz and Laurel will last?
