Oliver Queen has been missing and presumed dead for five years, since the Queen's Gambit went down. He joined Argus in his third year, and since then he has steadily climbed the ranks. He is now the most high up agent. He works closely with Amanda Waller.
Oliver Queen and Amanda Waller are on their way to SCPD to get a prisoner- China White.
"Ready for this, Queen?" Amanda Waller says to the man sitting next to her.
"Yeah… I mean, I have been back here since the accident, but this time will be different. I'm letting them see my face and letting them know I'm alive." Oliver replies.
"Well, keep your head on straight and follow my lead. They know Argus is coming to collect China White, they just don't know who. Walk in, speak to the Captain, take the prisoner, and hand her off to put her in the transports. I'm guessing people will then notice you and start asking questions. Don't give too much away."
"Alright… well, we might as well get this over with."
The transport pulls up to SCPD. The doors open, and Amanda and Oliver walk out and into the police department. No one notices Oliver yet, just points them in the direction of the captains office.
The Captain and Detective Lance are talking about a case. Oliver takes a deep breath, and Amanda knocks on the door and they enter.
Lance looks up and his eyes widen. It can't be.
"Hello, Captain. Detective. I am Amanda Waller, the director of Argus, and this is my right hand man, Agent Queen."
Oliver nods but makes no further advance.
The Captain's eyes widen and Lance stumbles back.
Amanda continues, "We are here to collect Chen Na Wei, better known as China White."
"Wait, wait, wait…" Lance says in shock. "Oliver Queen? The dead one?"
"The one and only," Oliver says grimly.
"How are you here? Is Sara alive? What happened to your face? Why haven't you come back? And why are you 'Agent Queen' now? You're not responsible enough!" Quentin stammers.
"I joined Argus. Sara is probably dead by now. I have a job to do, and I've been through more and changed a whole lot. I'm not the same man I used to be. I grew up." Oliver speaks up.
Lance sits down in shock. "But… but…"
The Captain speaks up. "Oh-Kay. Well, this is a shock… Oliver Queen, alive and well."
Oliver shows no emotion. Amanda steps in. "As I was saying, we are here to collect a prisoner."
"Yes, of course." stammers the Captain. "Just sign this document and take her. She's in interrogation room 3."
Amanda takes the document and signals Oliver to get the prisoner. He steps out of the office and heads to the room. He stops in front of the guard and raises an eyebrow. "May I enter? I have orders to collect her."
The guard looks up and nods, then does a double take. "Wait a second… you're Oliver Queen! You're supposed to be dead!"
Oliver laughs at the irony. "You could say that." He opens the door and enters.
"Well, well, well. Oliver Queen himself." speaks China White in Chinese. "I was wondering when you'd show up."
"Yeah, well I'm here. And you are about to get a nice bunk at Argus," Oliver says back in Chinese as he cuffs her and leads her out of the room, where Amanda is waiting.
"Excellent, Agent Queen. Take her to the transports." Amanda says.
Oliver nods and heads out the door. By now, everyone in the precinct has realized who he is. Whispers follow him out the door.
Oliver hands her off to the transport guards and takes a deep breath before heading back inside to join Amanda.
Amanda turns to him and subtly nods. Lance comes out of the office. "Okay… wait. So, Queen, you're telling me you killed my baby girl and broke the heart of my other one? What happened to your face? Why haven't you come home yet? How are you a high level Argus agent? Are you coming home now?"
Oliver and Amanda share a silent conversation. Oliver sighs and looks at Lance. "As I said before, there was a job to do- a dangerous job. I have a… specific set of skills that were very useful to Argus, and it was imperative that no one would recognize me or see this coming. I moved on with my life. But yes, I think it is time to let the world know I am alive. However, I am a changed person. I am staying with Argus."
Lance still can't believe what he is hearing. Oliver Queen? Billionaire, playboy, cheater, lawbreaker? An agent for a government agency? Crazy. But he sighs and speaks. "Well, do you want me to notify your family now?"
Oliver looks at Amanda. She nods. He looks at Lance and speaks "Call them. They deserve to know."
Oliver and Amanda follow Lance into the Captain's office, waiting for the inevitable rush.
