Chapter 11

.

Oliver went to see Slade one last time in recovery before he left.

.

Slade: That pardon, you have anything to do with that?

Oliver: The president pardoned you, based in part on recommendations from the head of ARGUS. All I could do was make recommendations.

Slade: I was a hard teacher on you, back on the island.

Oliver: I needed a little tough love back then. So did you, after the fall.

Slade: Yeah, I did.

Oliver: So, what are you and your team going to do now?

Slade: I'm not planning to go on the straight an narrow, but I also don't plan on mass murder. Some good, some bad. Bit of both.

Oliver: I'd stay out of Star City, a lot of people aren't as forgiving as I am.

Slade: Fair enough. You went through a lot on that island. I saw some of that, the rest I imagine you'll take to your grave. How did you move on?

Oliver: I realized I wasn't alone. A wise man once told me "You can either stare down death with something to live for, or not. Something to live for is better."
