"Oliver Queen is alive." Marrett Green announced on the news. "The Starling City resident unexpectedly arrived this morning, three years after he was missing and was presumed dead following the accident at sea, which claimed the Queen's Gambit, with his father, Starling City billionaire Robert Queen now officially confirmed as deceased. Queen was a regular tabloid presence and a fixture at the Starling City club scene for a time before he cleaned up his act and not long after that began a relationship with Sara Lance, daughter of Starling City police detective Quentin Larry Lance…"

Starling General

Quentin, Laurel, Sara, Thea, Moira and Tommy waited in the hospital as Dr. Lamb and Dr. Schwartz went out.

"Can I have a moment with you?" Dr. Lamb asked as he dragged Moira aside.

"What happened to him?" Moira asked.

"20% of his body is covered in scar tissue, second-degree burns on his back and arms, X-rays show at least twelve fractures that never properly healed." Lamb explained.

"Has he said anything about what happened to him?" Moira asked.

"No. He's barely said anything." Lamb shook his head. "Moira. I'd like you to prepare yourself. The Oliver you lost might not be the one that returned."

Moira nodded in understanding as they opened the door. Oliver was staring outside the window as Sara spoke up. "Ollie."

Oliver slowly turned around as Laurel, Sara, Moira and Thea felt their eyes get wet, while Tommy was speechless.

"I've missed you." Oliver said as Moira and Thea embraced him tightly for few moments, neither of the Queen females wanting to let Oliver go, like if he was going to disappear at any moment as their eyes were getting wet.

"We missed you too, my little boy…" Moira said brokenly.

"Hey, Speedy." Oliver smiled, fondling Thea's hair. "You grew up."

"And you… you became stronger." Thea said, noticing how much more muscular Oliver had become.

"Tommy Merlyn." Oliver smiled at his best friend.

"I've missed you, buddy." Tommy laughed as they hugged each other. "It's been a long time."

"Too long." Oliver nodded before they let go.

Laurel and Sara felt their eyes get wet as Laurel hugged Oliver tightly too. "Never do that again, dummy. If you disappear, I'm gonna find you and you won't like it. You have no idea how much you broke us."

"I know." Oliver nodded. "I'm sorry."

Laurel kissed Oliver on his cheek before she let go and Oliver and Sara stared at each other for a moment, many unsaid words traded between them just with their eyes as Sara's eyes filled with tears before she hugged him and kissed him fiercely. "I knew it. I knew you were alive. I knew deep in my heartthat one day, you'd come back to us. Don't ever scare me like that."

"I won't. I promise." Oliver said emotionally as his voice broke, hugging Sara. "I love you, Sara. I'll always will."

"I love you too." Sara said.

Quentin Lance and Malcolm Merlyn then entered, smiling as they brought flowers.

"Oliver." Quentin said.

"Welcome home." Malcolm said.

"Dad. Did… did he suffer?" Thea asked as the limo drove down the road.

"No." Oliver said.

"What do you want to do now, Ollie?" Tommy asked and the thoughtful look on Oliver's face made it obvious.

Sara Lance's apartment

Sara accompanied Oliver inside as he looked around. "It hasn't changed much."

"Yeah." Sara nodded. "I wasn't exactly in a mood to redecorate. When you were gone… I just couldn't bring myself to move on."

Oliver heard cooing as a little girl, around 2, maybe 3 years old, was walking towards Sara as Sara picked her up, kissing her on her cheek. "Hey, sweetie." She turned to Oliver with the girl in her arms. "See papa? Say "hello" to papa."

She had tears in her eyes and Oliver was stunned. The girl had his and Sara's eyes and while she was still a baby, she had the Lance cheeks and slowly growing blonde hair.

"Ollie. Meet our baby. Mia." Sara said. "Mia. This is Daddy. Say "hello" to papa."

She had Mia wave her hand as she handed her gently to Oliver, who had her in his hands.

"Mia. I'm your father." Oliver smiled as he hugged her. "I'm always going to be here for you and Mommy."

Later, they had a family dinner with Laurel, Thea, Tommy, Quentin and Moira as they all laughed.

"Gosh, Quentin, that turkey wasn't as good as I remember." Moira teased.

"Well, Dinah didn't tell me the whole recipe." Quentin said sadly.

"I'm sorry about what happened to her." Oliver said before turning to Laurel and Tommy. "And I'm happy for both of you."

Tommy spat out his drink as Laurel almost choked on the bite she had taken as she coughed out.

"How… how did… how did you…" Laurel blushed from the coughing.

"Let's just say I've learned to see more than it meets the eye." Oliver said as everyone else chuckled, amused at Laurel's and Tommy's expense, who felt more than a little embarrassed, cheeks going red as they both blushed.

"So, have you decided what are you going to do?" Moira asked.

"Tommy, do you remember, when we were planning to do a nightclub?" Oliver asked.

"Oh." Tommy nodded. "Yeah. Actually, I took a job at my Dad's, at least until I could get enough money for the investment. It's still under construction here in the Glades, so maybe…"

"Nightclub? Haven't you considered working in Queen Consolidated?" Moira asked Oliver.

"Come on, Moira, he has no experience in business. No offense." Quentin told Oliver apologetically.

"None taken." Oliver said.

"I think I can help set up your trust fund after we go through the formalities of declaring you legally alive." Laurel offered.

"Good idea." Oliver said.

When the dinner was over and everyone left, Oliver sat down as Sara was sitting across him as he took a breath.

"Ollie. I understand if you're not ready to talk but tell me, what happened?" Sara asked as Oliver took a breath.

"Look, Sara… there are things I did in the past three years that I'm not proud of. If you knew just the half of what I had done… you'd hate me." Oliver said.

"No." Sara said. "I'd never hate you. Maybe I'd be freaked out but I love you. And that's never going to change. Just help me understand."

Oliver took a breath as he told her everything. Lian Yu, Shado, Reiter, Deathstroke, Richard Dragon, Tatsu, the Triad and the League of Assassins. The whole time, Sara just patiently listened, not interrupting him and her look being nothing but understanding and patient. For minutes, she said nothing until she spoke up, although it felt like an eternity.

"Ollie." Sara trailed off as Oliver looked away from her. "I… I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you."

"No. You can't imagine even just the half of it." Oliver said, as Sara noticed how obviously upset and ashamed of himself Oliver was. "I… I'm broken, Sara."

"No. You're not." Sara said. "You may think the worst of yourself right now but to me, you're still the same person that I had fallen in love with before the Gambit. And that's never going to change. Deep down you're a good person and I'm not ready to give up on you. Even if you want to give up on yourself, me and everything else. I love you, Ollie. That's one thing, that always stays for certain." She held his hand as Oliver turned to her and Sara touched Oliver's breast.

They both stared at each other for few moments and neither of them knew, who moved first but the next thing they both knew, they started to kiss passionately as Sara unbuttoned his shirt, while Oliver took off her top and unstrapped her bra as they laid down on bed, continuing to strip each other of their clothes and kissing as Sara breathed out, while the kiss deepened. Oliver's hands ran from Sara's shoulders down as he massaged Sara's breasts and she breathed out and as they gave into each other, Sara moaned loudly. They rolled over as Oliver had his hand on Sara's hip and then his hands went up, squeezing her breasts as she moaned again as she was on top of Oliver.

The routine went on for a few moments until they lost energy, not able to continue as they laid down, exhausted as Sara snuggled towards Oliver, kissing him as Oliver pulled the sheet to cover them both, naked under the blanket as Sara giggled.

"I missed this, you know?" Sara asked.

"Yeah." Oliver nodded, smiling as Sara couldn't help herself.

"Ollie. I need an honest answer. When you were gone… was there… ever…" Sara paused, not sure if she wanted to know.

"Another woman?" Oliver asked and Sara nodded. "If you're asking me if I ever slept with someone else when I was gone, the answer is "no", nor did I fall for someone either. I won't lie, I was tempted. But I could never forget you or Mia. You two mean the world to me and I'd never trade that for anything else. I love you, Sara. That's never going to change, no matter what."

"I love you too, Ollie." Sara kissed Oliver as they were making out until both of them were tired and fell asleep, with Sara sleeping on Oliver's chest as he was stroking her hair, peacefully enjoying the night with their daughter.

For a while, Oliver was staring at the ceiling, trying to enjoy being back with Sara as he ran his fingers down her bare back before Oliver's phone rang and he picked it up to see "PRIVATE NUMBER".

"Hello?"

"Mr. Queen. You're a hard man to find. I've been looking for you." The female voice on the other side said. "I'd like to ask you some questions."

Across the rooftop, Deathstroke was observing Oliver with his goggles.

"So, you have a daughter…" Slade considered.

Before you start thinking that, Slade is not going to go after Oliver's family yet. Like I've said before, it's comic book version of Deathstroke and as far as I know, he has rarely used family as a leverage, since, despite being a mercenary, he is an honorable one and I think you know things are about to get interesting.

So, what do you guys think?
