CHAPTER 3: STARLING CITY'S WARRIOR.

Queen Mansion.

After dinner Oliver said his goodbyes to Tommy and Laurel and headed to bed where he definitely slept better than the first time he had returned home. By the time he woke up and got ready the next morning he found the hozen in his crate as he knew this Thea was different from the one he left behind, yet even different from his past seeing as she was no longer doing drugs. As he headed to his sister's room he did hear another voice coming from within. As he opened the door after knocking he was surprised to see a boy in a Familiar red hoodie.

"Ollie." Thea said with happiness yet some nervousness in her voice.

"Hello Speedy.. and Friend." Oliver spoke looking between the two.

Gasping a little she began to chuckle. "Worst nickname ever." Thea playful teased as she actually did not mind it at all. Her mind quickly snapped out of it when she recalled the other person in the room. "Oh right.. um Ollie this is my boyfriend Roy, Roy this is my brother." To her surprised Oliver extended a hand out to Roy.

"Pleasure to meet you, if my sister sees something in you that must mean you treat her well. Plus I already have a good sense about you."

Roy, who was also kind of shocked, just shook his hand and then questioned "You do?"

"Yes, besides I know Tommy, my mother, and Laurel would have not approved if it was not so. Anyway before I take any more of your time I brought you something from the island Speedy." Turning to face his sister again as Oliver handed her the Hozen.

Thea chuckled a little. "You did not come back from a deserted island with a souvenir." As she was inspecting it she could feel the sense of this importance because it came from Ollie.

"It's a hozen. And in Buddhism, it symbolizes reconnecting. I kept it in hopes that one day it would reconnect me with you." Suddenly a fourth new voice hit the room causing everyone to smirk.

"A rock. That is sweet. You know, I want one of those T-Shirts that says 'My friend was a castaway and all I got was this crappy shirt." Tommy Merlyn spoke as he got between Thea and Oliver. Giving Roy a nod he tapped Ollie's shoulder.

"Don't let him get you into too much trouble. We just got you back."

Oliver then smirked. "Why do you think Laurel is joining us?" It was then he hugged his sister and kissed her cheek. He also nodded to Roy. "It was good meeting you, hope to see you around more now that my sister does not have to hide you." With that he followed Tommy outside to the hall. Once in the hallway Oliver realized Tommy never made any comment towards Thea which meant that he did see her like a little sister. This made Oliver glad that he did not need to reveal Thea's parentage to her or Tommy yet. Though he planned to once Malcolm was taken care of.

Starling City. Hours Later.

The Trio Of Starling had spent the day driving around talking about the past five years and what it was like with Oliver being gone. Of course Oliver noticed that they were purposely leaving out something. Probably the fact they shared a few nights together. "So, do you plan on telling me about the two of you? Or was I supposed to be oblivious that you two slept together?" Oliver decided to bring it out to light since it was awkward enough as it was with Laurel and him trying to figure feelings out.

Tommy choked. "Was it that obvious?"

"Ollie.. I am so sorry we thou.." Laurel began but Oliver stopped her as he looked at them both.

"You both thought I was dead, it's okay to move on. Besides you both can date openly now that I know."

"Oh buddy no, Laurel and I, we agreed a while ago she only had her eyes on you. We tried but it did not work out, and well I am kinda already seeing someone."

Oliver turned kind of shocked as they still drove around town. "Who?"

Tommy chuckled "you'll never believe it."

Laurel then chimed in revealing "McKenna Hall"

"Really?!"

"Best part is that she is a detective. Keeps me out of all the trouble." Tommy started to laugh with Laurel.

"Sounds like she whips you into shape like Laurel did, or should I just say probably still will do." The conversation then turned into talks about his party, then about food as the three of them were getting hungry. That was when a beat up van pulled out in front of them and men came all across the car dragging everyone out and injecting them with some sleeping agent. Oliver's last thought before passing out was how this was going to go.

UNKNOWN WAREHOUSE.

"Mr. Queen. Mr. Queen!" Oliver was awoken to the hood being removed from his head, both Laurel and Tommy not fully awake yet. "Did your father survive that accident?"

Oliver shook his head, acting scared. "No, please just let my friends go. Please! He only made it to the life boat before he realized not enough supplies he killed himself in the raft so I could live!"

Suddenly one of the men screamed as an arrow with a green head hit one of the guards knocking the guns from his hand. Next a figure in The Green Arrow suit (Season 8) moved from the shadows as Oliver sat and watched alongside with Tommy and Laurel who were in shock as well but for different reasons. The figure in the hood moved with a familiar style that Oliver noted. Soon the room was clear and the zip cuffs were broken.

"Stay here until Police arrive."

It was just then SCPD stormed the warehouse with Quentin Lance leading the charge watching as The Vigilante escaped. Part of him was happy he was there to help, but that lawful side knew how dangerous he could be. But all he could focus now was everyone else in the room. The unconscious goons, one who had a video camera, Oliver only noticed this as the red dot vanished showing livestream. Was Malcolm or his mother watching? He snapped out of it as Lance checked in with them all. "Are you all okay?"

"I think so.. did not expect the vigilante to be here." Tommy spoke as he heard stories but was not sure if he was real.

Laurel who was hugging her dad nodded as she had to regain her composure. "They were asking Oliver questions about his dad. And if he said anything."

"Did Robert have enemies or something?" Quentin asked and Oliver shook his head.

"I am not sure.. I.." Looking at Lance he saw no hate in his eyes. Oliver was just about to apologize when Quentin stopped him.

"Now I know you are not about to apologize, You forget as much as I was reluctant about my girls going on a boat without me, but you have to remember you earn my approval many years ago, Oliver." Oliver just nodded as he smiled knowing Lance was still like a father figure to him. "Also I heard what you told Laurel, if true I think it's time I started up my search again."

This time Oliver said something.

"If you need my help.. I'll give any and all details I can." Both men nodded and then everyone was escorted away to be questioned more though the police kind of already had an answer thanks to the Anonymous tip they got.

Notes:

Hope you all enjoyed that chapter. Who could it have been that saved Oliver and friends? Someone from his past? Or future? Guess down below. But I promise the secret won't be kept for to long, cause just like you all Oliver is curious as to who it was under the hood.

No one did seem to get a good look at him.

Like I said before please leave comments and reviews down below and also ideas if you like to, I won't guarantee I use them all but definitely a good chance to build the story.
