The Return
Of
Anthony Ivo
Disclaimer: I had this crazy idea come to my head recently and I just had to do it.
Summary: What if it wasn't Slade who showed up in the present time of season 2?
As Oliver made his way through the mansion in search of his mother, he could hear low voices coming from the living room. Making him think that his mother was conducting a meeting of some kind in there and made towards it and stopped short as he hadn't expected Sara to be there with his mother. "Oh, Oliver! Please, come in, there's someone we want you to meet." His mother told him and when the third figure in the living room turned to show who they were, Oliver's eyes widened as he paled.
For the figure in front of him was none other than Doctor Anthony Ivo! Which shouldn't have been possible considering he shot and killed the man himself years ago! "I… This..." He couldn't get the words out as he looked at Sara, who genuinely seemed happy with the whole situation.
"Oliver, sweetheart, this is Doctor Anthony Ivo and he's chosen to donate to my Mayoral campaign." His mother told him with a pleased smile on her lips.
"All part of his plan to save the world, Mrs. Queen." Sara said praisingly with a proud look towards the Doctor.
"Its a pleasure to meet you, young man." Declared Ivo with a smile on his lips as he held out a hand to Oliver to shake.
Oliver stared at it as if it was a Snake, one ready to strike at him and noticed that while he was somehow alive, his other hand was still missing. Reluctantly, he shook the offered hand as he stared hard in the other man's eyes. "The… Pleasure's all mine, sir."
I hope to God this is some terrible dream…
