Hey everyone. Here is another chapter for you guys. Please leave a review of what you think of it and tell me if there is anything you I can do better.

Enjoy :D

The next morning Oliver and Nyssa went downstairs and met with Thea, Walter and Moira for breakfast. They had just taken a seat at the table when someone ringed the doorbell. Oliver quickly went to get the door before anyone was able to stand again. Oliver was met with a man, there was a little bit bigger than himself. He was wearing a suit and standing straight. He reached forward with his hand to shake Oliver's. Oliver took it.

"I'm John Diggle, sir," The man explained to Oliver.

"Oliver Queen. Please, come inside," He said as he side stepped and let John inside the mansion and Oliver closed the door behind Diggle. "You hungry? Breakfast is on the table at the moment. I haven't gotten my first bite yet," Oliver told his bodyguard, trying to convince him to get something to eat.

"No thank you, sir. I ate before I came here, but thank you for the offer," Diggle refused politely.

"Well, at least join us at the table then. I'm sure that my family would like to meet the man who are supposed to protect me from now on," Oliver tried again. Diggle knew Oliver had a point there, so he nodded at Oliver offer.

Oliver lead Diggle into the dining room where the rest were sitting. They all looked up as they saw the tall man, who never had seen before.

"Everyone, this is John Diggle, my bodyguard," He revealed to everyone.

"Nice to meet you everyone," Diggle greeted. Nyssa stood and went to shake John's hand.

"I'm Nyssa, his wife," She said, as she nodded towards Oliver who still stood beside Diggle.

"Don't worry, I will make sure nothing happens to him, or you for that matter," John reassured her. She looked at him with a approving look. So far, she knew they had chosen right, when they chose him.

Oliver and Nyssa went to their seats while Diggle stayed put. "Mr. Diggle, please, at least sit down, before duty really calls," Oliver told him.

Diggle was surprised at Oliver being so nice. He may have been reading too much about the Oliver that disappeared five years ago. He complied and sat down to the right of Oliver. Oliver had Nyssa sitting to his left. Thea, Moira and Walter were sitting at the other end of the table.

Breakfast went with some small talk on how Oliver and Nyssa, and now John, were going to spent the day in the city, so that Nyssa would be able to see it.

As they were driving towards the city Oliver had to ask.

"Sooo, what should we call you?" He asked.

"Diggle is fine. Dig if you want," John replied simply.

"Mr. Diggle, how much do you know about us?" Nyssa asked. She wanted to know how much background story he had gotten from the firm.

"Mrs...?" Diggle started waiting for her to fill him in on her last name. "Queen," She stated. She knew she legally wasn't a Queen, but she was already married to Oliver, so it wouldn't hurt anyone. Diggle looked at Oliver in the rear mirror, trying to get a confirmation about her name, to which Oliver just nodded. "Mrs. Queen, I don't know very much you, as you can tell. I have gotten a lot of reading on Mr. Queen, though this morning he surprised me, with him being very polite, therefore I'm going to forget about what I have read and let him show me the kind of man he is, " Diggle explained as he looked at Oliver. Oliver smiled at John's answer to his wife's question. He was glad that John wanted him to show him what kind of man he is, though John would probably be surprised.

"So, where to Mr. and Mrs. Queen?" Diggle asked. Nyssa and Oliver looked at each other. They knew what the other were thinking.

"I want to see the place, and the surroundings, to where Tommy is hosting my 'back from the dead' party," Oliver told his bodyguard. Diggle looked at him with suspicious eyes but didn't say anything. He nodded and they drove to the place where the party were going to be held.

"This is a great party, Tommy, thank you," Oliver told his best friend.

"Anything less would be an insult to you, buddy," Tommy said and patted Oliver's back.

"So, this is how you were partying back in the day?" Nyssa asked the two friends. Oliver gave her a look that he was ashamed of how he was before the island.

"Yeah pretty much," Tommy answered, not noticing the way his friend looked at his wife. "You should get up there and greet everyone,"

"Yeah, I probably should. Now you are going to see the old Oliver," He whispered to his wife. She nodded at him. She didn't know what to expect. He had told her how he was, but she had a hard time imagining it.

Oliver walked up on the stage in the middle of the party, signalled to the DJ that she should turn down the volume. He reached the top of the stage and everyone's eyes were on him. He downed a shot of tequila.

"I missed tequila!" He yelled and then the music started blasting again. He walked back to his wife and best friend. He kissed Nyssa, which she returned.

"So, that's the old you," She stated. It sounded a lot like a question, but Oliver knew it wasn't. Tommy on the other hand didn't know that.

"Yep, that's the Oliver from before the island," He said and now looked at Oliver. "The island changed you a lot, didn't it? I could see that you were faking that reaction,"

"More than you know, Tommy. More than you know," Oliver replied, not giving Tommy a real answer to his question. "Hey, is that Laurel?" Oliver asked as he spotted Laurel coming down the escalators. Nyssa turned her head to look where her husband was looking.

"Yeah. I invited her. You should go talk to her," Tommy told his best friend. Oliver nodded and held his arm around the small of Nyssa's back, and lead her towards Laurel.

"Hey Laurel. I didn't think you were going to be here," Oliver greeted her.

"Tommy told me that we had known each other for too long to let it like this," She explained. "Is there somewhere quieter we could talk?" She had noticed the woman Oliver was having with him, and she was curious to who she was, but she knew Oliver would tell her when they were more alone. Oliver nodded at her question and lead Nyssa and Laurel up the escalator.

"Laurel, this is Nyssa. My wife," Oliver revealed for her. Nyssa reached to shake Laurel's hand and without thinking Laurel took her hand and shook it. She was shocked at this. Before the island Oliver wasn't ready to move into her and Oliver's own place, and now he comes home with a wife. A lot had changed about him she could tell.

"Nice to meet you, Nyssa," Laurel greeted her.

"It's nice to meet you too, Laurel," Nyssa responded. Nyssa knew there were no reason to be jealous at Laurel, so she wasn't, but she could see that Laurel was a little bit jealous.

"Oliver, I know that this is going to be hard, for me at least, but I want to still be friends. Or at least try to be," Laurel explained. She was ashamed of her bluntness. The Oliver she knew didn't like when people were so blunt with him, but Oliver surprised her.

"Thank you, Laurel. I'm happy that you to," He responded, with a smile on his face. At his reply, Laurel let out a breath that she hadn't noticed she was holding.

"Oh, thank god," She said relieved. "You know Oliver, you have changed the last five years. The old you wouldn't have answered me like that,"

"More than you know. More than you know," Nyssa replied for her husband, and looked up at him from right beside him.

The three of them went back to the party and met with Tommy. They had been talking for quite some time, when Oliver saw Thea. She was handed a little plastic bag with three pills in it. Oliver's look changed immediately, which Nyssa noticed.

"What is it, Love?" She asked, looking concerned at him.

"I'll be right back," Was all he replied and walked into the crowd. Diggle saw it and moved with Oliver from a distance. He saw Oliver greeted her and they talked a little. He could see that Oliver let his sister stay at the party as Olive walked away. Now Thea was searching her bag and noticed that what she had just bought were gone. Oliver walked very determined towards Diggle and stopped in front of him.

"Make sure every single drug dealer in here gets kicked out," He told Diggle and handed him the small plastic bag that he had taken from Thea. Diggle nodded at him and were now wondering when Oliver took that from Thea. He didn't notice it and that was bothering him. Oliver walked away and decided to greet Adam Hunt, since Hunt hadn't done as Oliver had told him.

Nyssa saw the whole interaction and nodded to her husband when he left. She was still talking with Tommy and Laurel.

"Nyssa do you know why Oliver walked away before?" Tommy asked her, still curious what it was that made Oliver change behaviour so sudden.

"I think I saw him steal some drug from Thea," She responded, sounding like she didn't know exactly what had been going on, which she very well did. Just like she knew where her husband was going now.

"Is Thea doing drugs!?" Tommy and Laurel exclaimed simultaneously.

"Apparently… I think I will have a talk with her about it," Nyssa sounded genuine sad about it. She didn't know why Thea were doing drugs, but she knew she would be able to help her.

"Hey guys!" Oliver said as he walked back to the group half an hour later.

"Where have you been, Love?" Nyssa asked even though she knew where he had been, but she also knew Tommy and Laurel would be asking him if she didn't.

"I just had to clear my head. It's hard to be back and see things have changed this much," Oliver explained and kissed his wife. In a matter of minutes after Oliver had walked back to the group, which Diggle was watching again, the cops had come and made the party go quiet.

"Detective is there a problem?" Tommy asked as he, Oliver, Nyssa and Laurel walked up to him.

"Yeah, your hood guy has just attacked Adam Hunt," Detective Lance explained.

"Who's Adam hunt?" Nyssa and Oliver asked simultaneously. Lance looked at them with disbelief on his face, so Nyssa continued. "We have been out of town for a while," Her comment got out a chuckle from Tommy.

"Detective, if you would please, the premises, that would be nice," Diggle said as he came up to them.

"And why would I do that?" Lance challenged.

"Because this is a private party and I have been watching every entrance and no one from here had left the building, except Mr. Queen who stood on the sidewalk to get some fresh air," Diggle told the detective. Oliver looked at him surprised, he didn't know how much John had seen, but he hadn't been standing on the sidewalk at any point this night.

"Fine we will go," Lance said to his men as they left the building. Now the music was quiet, so Oliver walked up on the stage.

"Come on, this is a party!" He yelled and the music started again, and the party started again.

When they got home from the party and John announced he would be heading home, he turned around facing Oliver and Nyssa.

"Mr. Queen, I expect a good reason why I felt the need to save your ass here tonight. I hope you will give it to me soon. Next time though, try to give me a better reason to leave you to your 'work'," Diggle told Oliver. Oliver was again surprised by Diggle. He was going to tell him at some point, but he had only known him for a couple of days, but he was happy that John trusted him the way he did.

"Thank you, Diggle. I will explain it to you tomorrow when it's just the three of us," Oliver responded. Diggle now looked at Oliver with surprise.

"Nyssa knows?"

"She's part of it. Tonight, were just me getting started," Oliver explained with a smile. "Goodnight Diggle,"

"Goodnight sir, Mrs."

"That definitely didn't go according to plan," Nyssa pointed out as they were cuddling in the bed

"No, it did not. I really thought that he would be more concerned about the drugs, than keeping an eye on me," Oliver replied. Nyssa turned her head to look up at him, from her place with her head on his chest.

"Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe our plan will just happen faster," Nyssa tried to reassure her husband. She knew he was concerned about their plan, and if there would happen the slightest thing that they didn't plan, he would get worried if everything would still be able to happen.

"Let's just hope that he won't go to the police when he sees what we do," Oliver said emphasizing the 'sees'.

"It would be sad to have to kill him. He is a good man," Nyssa agreed.

Oliver looked down at her, to see that she was still looking up at him. He lent down and kiss her. Nyssa deepened the kiss. Their night suddenly got more heated, and they fell asleep all sweaty entangled in each other.

"Good morning, Mr. Diggle," Thea greeted her brother's bodyguard.

"'Morning, Mrs. Queen," Diggle greeted her.

"Please, call me Thea, Mrs. Queen is my mother," Thea returned.

"And your sister-in-law too it seems. And please, call me Diggle then," John smiled at her.

"Will do," Thea smiled back. "Oliver haven't come down yet?"

"Not yet, no,"

"I will go get him for you then," Thea said and stood and started walking towards her brother's and sister-in-law's bedroom, which was Oliver's old bedroom. Thea opened the door to see her brother shirtless. She had never considered how his body would have looked like after all these years. He definitely was more muscular, but that wasn't her main focus. The scars were. Her mother had told her that Oliver had a lot of scars, but she had never imagined this.

"Oliver, oh my god," Was all she could say, as she crossed the room to get a better look at his scars. Oliver sighed. He had heard her walking outside his door, but he had hoped that she would have knocked or at east give him time to put on his shirt.

He turned and Thea were now standing right in front of him. Nyssa was sitting on the bed, keeping quiet wanting to see how this situation would unfold.

"Mom said there were scars, but this…" She said, her eyes wandering from scar to scar. "What happened to you on that island?" Oliver was struggling. He didn't know whether or not he should tell her about some of them.

"Thea…" He started, but he didn't continue on his first plan, not to tell her anything. Her face was full of worry and he hated when people looked at him like that. "I don't want you to look at me any differently now that you have seen this. I don't like to talk about what happened, but I won't shut you out completely," He was worried on how she would respond to that.

"I can't imagine what you have been through," She said. That was exactly what he didn't want her to say.

"Thea, I don't want any pity. If you do that then the way I look at myself will become real," Oliver explained.

"How's that?" She looked confused at him. Oliver looked down his body and sighed.

"As damaged," He revealed for her. She didn't say anything. She just pulled him into a hug faster than she had ever pulled at anyone. Oliver was slightly surprised at her action, but of course he wrapped her in his arms. She rested her head on the first scar he had gotten, which meant a lot for him, but he didn't understand why it did. Nyssa was still seated on the bed and took in the beautiful moment her husband and her sister-in-law were having. Diggle too had watched the scene unfold, he followed Thea when she went upstairs and had stopped just outside the door and just watched everything.

"Thea, can you promise me that you won't look at me, ever again, like you have the last five minutes?" Oliver asked his sister. He knew it would be hard for her, but he really needed her to not look at him as damaged.

"Yeah. I'll try," She said as she looked up on her brother. Oliver kissed her forehead in gratitude. They pulled apart and Oliver finally got his shirt on. Nyssa though had been watching her husband's back muscles move around, when he was moving. It had slightly turned her on and she really hoped her, and Oliver would be left alone for a moment. But as Thea left the room, Diggle entered it. She knew he wanted an explanation, but she really hoped that could have waited a little bit.

They greeted and since Oliver and Nyssa hadn't eaten yet, they went for a trip to the city. They had found their place to eat. The three of them sat in a booth at a little diner. Even though he was Oliver Queen he still liked the simple places more than the fancy ones. Oliver and Nyssa sat on one side of the booth and John sat on the other side of it. They had all ordered some food, since Oliver had told Diggle he wasn't on duty, and now their food was served.

The first couple of minutes they had been eating in silence, but Nyssa spoke. She knew Diggle wanted answers but didn't want to initiate the conversation.

"So, Diggle, what do you want to know?" She asked.

"Hmm, what about, why?" He started.

"This city is dying. Have been for years. We want to make sure that all the dirty people in the city won't get away with it," Oliver replied.

"That's the police's job just go to them," He retorted.

"You know the police is limited to the law. We can go outside the law and make sure other can't," Nyssa explained. John understood what they were saying, but he was still sceptical about it. He would let them do their though and he actually only had one more question for now.

"Why'd you ask directly for me, when you were asking for a bodyguard?" That was everything he wanted to know for now. The rest he knew would come later and he was sure that wouldn't answer on everything we would ask, if he just asked what his mind were thinking.

"Because, John, we want you to join us. Help us save this city," Oliver replied.
