A/N: I'm Still figuring out the timeline I don't know if I should make the Timeline of the Justice League formed in 2003 or the Arrowverse Timeline were in my story the Justice League was formed in 2017, when Oliver Queen became the Arrow in 2012 and Barry Allen became The Flash in 2014. I'm also having the characters age slowly just like the X-Men movie sage.
Earth Prime
Lian Yu
On an remote island, known as Lian Yu or Purgatory, all was silent while a man wearing a green hood, with dirty blonde locks, rushed forward before he kicked the side of a tree and jumped to a branch. He then began to run through the trees, his form blurring as he sped forward before he came through the brush and landed on a small mountain top looking over the ocean to see a small fisher ship close by before he lit a burning arrow and shot it at the pyre on the beach, causing it to erupt in an Inferno catching the attention of the fisherman who decided to investigate, And found a man and they give him a ride home.
Oliver: The name of the island they found me on is Lian Yu. It's Mandarin for Purgatory. I've been stranded here for five years. I've dreamt of my rescue every cold black night since then. For five years, I have had only one thought, one goal... ...survive. Survive and one day return home. The island held many dangers. To live, I had to make myself more than what I was...to forge myself into a weapon. I am returning, not the boy who was shipwrecked...but the man who will bring Justice to those who have poisoned my city. My name is Oliver Queen.
5 Days Later
Starling City
"Oliver Queen is alive. The Starling City resident was found by fishermen...in the North China Sea five days ago. Five years after he was presumed dead...following the accident at sea which claimed The Queen's Gambit. Queen was a regular tabloid presence...and fixture on the club scene. Before his disappearance, he was acquitted of assault...charges stemming from a highly publicized drunken altercation with paparazzi. Queen is the son of Starling City billionaire Robert Queen...who was also on board but now officially confirmed as deceased." the news reporter said.
Hospital
Moira Queen stood in the hallway looking at her baby boy, as he stood at the window watching the city, his hair was cut,
LAMB: "Twenty percent of his body's covered in scar tissue. Second degree burns on his back and arms, X-rays show at least 12 fractures that never properly healed." a doctor said.
Moira turned to look at him "Has he said anything about what happened?" she asked
"No. He's barely said anything." the doctor said as Moira looked back at her son. "Moira, I'd like you to prepare yourself. The Oliver you lost might not be the one they found."
Moira entered the room. "Oliver?" Moira ask before Oliver turned to face her.
"Mom" Oliver said softly walking over as she teared up.
"Oh. My beautiful boy." Moira cried before she and Oliver embraced with Oliver smiling softly as a tear streamed from his eye listening to Moira sob, as she kissed his cheek.

"Wonderful." Moira nodded while a door closing caused Oliver to look up towards the stairs and walk over to the steps. "Oliver? did you hear that?"
Oliver reminded silent as a teenage girl appeared at the top of the stairs. "Hey, sis." Oliver said.
The girl began to tear up as she came down the stairs. "I knew it. I knew you were alive." she said jumping into his arms as he hugged her tightly "I missed you so much." she sniffed.
"You were with me the whole time." Oliver said
Later at CNRI
JOANNA: "Come on, Laurel. we're lawyers, not miracle workers. we can't win this."
"If we can't win a class action against a man...who swindled hundreds of people out of their life savings...then we're not fit to be called a legal aid office." Laurel said
"And if go bankrupt in the process, we won't be a legal aid office. Hunt has an army of lawyers and they are ready to bury us." Joanna exclaimed
"You and I against an army? I love those odds." Laurel smirked
"Why do you hate me?" Joanna said
Laurel walked and sat on a chair to her disk sighs looking at the evidence wall of Adam Hunt,

"Five years and you wanna talk about Adam?"
"No. Not really."
"Why are you here, Ollie?"
"To apologize. it was my fault. I wanted to ask you not to blame her."
"For what? Falling under your spell? How could I possibly blame her for doing the same things that I did?"
"I never meant to--"
"She was my sister." Laurel interrupted "I couldn't be angry because she was dead. I couldn't grieve because I was so angry. That's what happens when your sister dies while screwing your boyfriend." Oliver said nothing
"We buried an empty coffin. Because her body was at the bottom of the ocean... ...where you left her." Oliver was silent
"It should've been you."
"I know that it's too late to say this but I'm sorry." Oliver apologizes
"Yeah, I'm sorry too. I'd hoped that you'd rot in hell a whole lot longer than five years." Laurel left him and goes back inside
"How'd you think that was gonna go, Tommy?" Laurel said as she went back inside
"About like that." Tommy said
Tommy and Oliver headed back to the car.

"If anybody's making it out of here, it's gonna be him." Robert said glaring at the man before he looked at Oliver "I'm so sorry, I thought I'd have more time. I'm not the man you think I am. I didn't build our city. I failed it. And I wasn't the only one."

"I don't know Find him and you can ask." Oliver told him
"Yeah. What about you? You see the hood gut?" Lance ask
"I saw just moment. Everything blurry. I was kind of out of it." Tommy said who just shook his head
"Yeah." Lance nodded before he glared at Oliver "It's funny, isn't it? One day back and somebody's gunning for you. Aren't you popular?"
Moira spoke "Were you able to identify the men?"
"Scrubbed identities. Untraceable weapons. These were pros." Lance's partner said.
"Yeah. They figured you'd pay a king's ransom to get your boy back. Or a Queen's ransom, as it were. After all, a parent would do anything to keep their child safe." Lance said snarkingly as he glared at Oliver.
"I don't find your tone appropriate, detective." Moira said
"If Oliver can think of anything else, he'll be in touch. Thank you, gentlemen, for coming." Walter said

"I hope so. I wanna be the person you always told me I could be."Oliver said and she nodded.
After leaving the house, Moira stops her son.
"Oliver... ...I wanna introduce you to someone, John Diggle. He'll accompany you from now on."
Oliver looked at John Diggle "I don't need a babysitter."
"Darling, Oliver's a grown man. If he doesn't feel he needs armed protection--" Walter said
"You know, I understand but this is something I need."
MOMENTS LATER
John Diggle was driving Oliver down town.
"So... ...What do I call you?" Oliver asked making conversation.
"Diggle's good. Dig, if you want." Diggle said.
"You're ex-military?" Oliver asked looking out the window before he smirked
"Yes, sir. 105th Airborne out of Kandahar, retired. Been in the private sector a little more than four years now. I don't want there to be any confusion. Mr. Queen my ability to keep you from harm will outweigh your comfort. Do we have an agreement?...Sir?... Sir?"

"Yes, Mr. Hunt." his lapdog said.
"And this attorney, Laurel Lance? you said she wasn't gonna be a problem anymore. I told you to fix that situation." Adam said before he glared at the man who looked at him "Why are you still here?"
The man quickly ran off, while Adam and his two guards walked away, but the lights burst into sparks when Arrows where shot at them causing Adam to look up in bewilderment, before a Arrow was struck a man causing him to grunt and fall.
"Get in the car!" Adam's other guard ordered opening the door allowing Adam to get inside, and as soon as the door was closed the man opened fire at where he thought the attacker was.

"Well, thanks for your statement. We'll put out an APB on Robin Hood." Quentin said sarcastic.
"Hey, pal, I'm not some grocer who got taken for his register. I go to the front of the line." Adam said glaring at Quentin "Now He said he'd be back here by 10 p.m. Make sure you're here first. You can coordinate with Mr. Drakon, my new head of security."
Quentin and his partner looked over to the man who nodded, "All right. Well, uh, thanks for your time." Quentin said as he and his partner left.
"Looks like Queen was telling the truth." Quentin partner said holding the Arrow.
"Yeah, well, there's a first time for everything." Quentin said " This hooded guy comes looking for trouble, he'll find it."

As your wing man, I highly recommend Carmen Golden."
OLIVER: "Which one? is she."
"The one who looks like the chick from Twilight." Tommy said
"What's Twilight?" Oliver asked Tommy.
"You're so better off not knowing." Tommy said
Oliver frowned when he saw Thea talking to someone who reached into his pocket. and gives Thea drugs.
"Back in a minute." Oliver said Tommy walking over to his sister
"Ollie, hey! This party is sick." Thea said
"Who let you in here?" Oliver asked frowning

"Well, you shouldn't be here." Oliver said
"Oh, I'm not 12 anymore." Thea said
"No, You're 17." Oliver retorted
"Ollie, I love you, but you can't come back here and judge me. Especially for being just like you." Thea said
"I know It couldn't have been easy for you when I was away." Oliver said
"Away? No, you died. My brother and my father died. I went to your funerals." Thea said
"I know." Oliver said
"No, you don't. Mom had Walter. And I had no one. And, you guys all act like it's cool, let's forget about the last five years. Well, I can't. For me, it's kind of permanently in there. So I'm sorry, if I've turned out a major disappointment...but this, me is the best I could do with what I had to work with." Thea said
"Let's bounce." Thea told her friends
"You have the fun dip?" Thea friend said
"Yeah. It's right here. No I must've dropped it." Thea said
Oliver threw the drug in the trash can and sees Diggle he walk away.
"Oh! Oh." Oliver apologizes bumping into Laurel "You're here."
"Tommy. He made the point that we have too many years between us...to leave things the way we left them. Is there some place quieter that we could go?" Laurel said
"Yeah" Oliver nodded before they walked off..
MOMENTS LATER
"I'm sorry about saying that you should've been the one who died. That was wrong." Laurel apologize
"If I could trade places with her, I would." Oliver said
"About Sara... There's something that I've been afraid to ask, but I need to know." Laurel said
"Okay." Oliver replied
"When she died...did she suffer?" Laurel asked
"No." Oliver answered
" I think about her every day." Laurel
"Me too." Oliver replied
"I guess we still have one thing in common, then." Laurel said
"I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but if you need someone to talk to...about what happened to you, I'm here." Laurel offered
Oliver phone starts vibrating Oliver pulled out his phone and see its 10 p.m. and saw Adam Hunt didn't send the money to the account.
"Something wrong?" Laurel asked
"I asked somebody to do something. They didn't do it." Oliver answered
"Laurel...you always saw the best in me. Right now, that's what you're doing. Looking at me and you're wondering if that island changed me somehow...if it made me a better person. It didn't. Stay away from me. Otherwise, I'm just gonna hurt you again. But this time it will be worse. Gotta roll. I got five years of debauchery to catch up on." Oliver said
"You know what, Oliver? You're wrong. That island did change you. At least now you're honest." Laurel said walking away
Oliver starts leaving but Diggle stops him.
"Something I can help you with, sir?" Diggle asked
"I just want a second to myself." replied
DIGGLE: I would believe you Mr. Queen...if you weren't full of crap. Party's this way."
Oliver walked to the door "It's locked." Oliver said
Diggle was about to grab the door handle when Oliver put his arms over his head and knocked him out.
