Note: TheBee is pronounced with a soft Th and long e.
Alright guys. First things first, thanks for the reviews, I Love Them, and thanks for reading. Great suggestions so far and some of them are foreshadowings. Onto a little explanation: I made Thea and Oliver closer in age because I wanted Thea to have more control over her life and to give Oliver someone to, potentially, take under his wing. McKenna Hall is going to play a bigger role than in the series, and its going to, hopefully, be fun. Hope ya'll enjoy.

"I don't know why you're going, Malcolm's an ass".
"I told you TheBee, it's not..."
"I know I know, you're going because of f Tommy and for whatever reason Malcom needs him there".
"See, you're smarter than you think".
"I'm serious Ollie, I have a really bad feeling about this".
"And I love that you're worried, but nothing bad's gonna happen".
Twenty-one year old Oliver Queen leaned down and kissed his sixteen year old sister goodbye. The last time for a long time.

OLIVER P.O.V.
Okay, okay, we've all heard that broody voice in our heads talk about how we need to change who we are to honor those we've lost. Well, not always, sometimes we need to stay the way we are, just to maintain sanity. I can tell you first hand, maintaining your sanity is vital to survival. It doesn't matter if you're in the jungles of Taiwan or the suburbs of America, you need your sanity. But sometimes you lose yyourself, and that's what happened after spending four years alone on the island of Lian Yu, located in the South China Sea. I was found by the Rabitat Alqatala, often mistaken for The League of Shadows by western storytellers, but known to members as The League of Assassins. I know, it sounds like a game from Ubisoft, but trust me, this is the real deal, and not something a cheat code can get you out of. It was part of my training to forget who I was and to forget my former life and anyone I ever loved, and had it not been for Nyssa, I would have.
But before that I am obliged to tell you about Eusbat Alzilal, the League of Shadows. They are a separate sect of the League of Assassins, initiated by R'as Al Ghul's oldest enemy, Al'iibn. The only thing known about 'The Son', is that R'as had once attempted to kill he and his father. Al'iibn survived, but his father did not. Since then Al'iibn swore vengeance on R'as.
That is where mine and Nyssa's romance begins, albeit more bloody and gruesome than necessary. Al'iibn had captured Talia, R'as first born daughter, in an attempt to get R'as to trade his life for his daughter's, but he gravely underestimated R'as cold heart. in an attempt to free her sister Nyssa snuck out of the Assassin's complex and made the long journey to the Himalayas, the home of the League of Shadows. Had she known I followed she would have killed me or welcomed me to join her, to this day she has yet to tell me.
Long story short, Nyssa and I were successful in rescuing Talia, but not before I nearly died saving Nyssa's life. That was the turning point for Nyssa, and the day I knew that there was nothing I would not do for My Beloved.

"Gotta say TheBe, not a lot has changed around here". Oliver looked around at the empty park that had been the source of most of Tommy's and his shenanigans as kids. The older they got the more they frequented more, adult themed establishments.
"Ollie, I brought you here because I need to tell you something".
"What is it"?
"Well, it's so stupid".
"No, what is it"?
"Well, as you know I'm a detective with CCPD".
"Yeah".
"Well, what do you do when you know someone's lying to you about something".
Oliver thought for a moment. "Thea, do you remember when I was dating Dinah Lance"?
"Yeah".
"Well, as you know I cheated on her with McKenna Danvers".
"So did the entire senior class, if you remember".
"Anyways, Dinah knew way ahead what I was up to. If you want ti know about liars, talk to her".
"Duely noted. Oh, bye the way, McKenna got married, she's now Detective McKenna Hall".
"Wow, did every woman in my life become a member of law enforcement "?
"C'mon you goof, you still owe me lunch".
"For what"?
"For losing at Jumanji".
"TheBee that was ten years ago".
"Yes it was, and interest has been building mister".
As the two siblings walked away, a dark haired woman watched from across the park and smiled softly.
"Three more weeks, my Beloved Husband".
