A/N: Cam'Ron has Mira Kuru in him

Chapter 2: Old friends

Oliver were ready for there day around town with Tommy but Oliver wanted to go check on Thea before they left. Cam'Ron however was already outside the door listening to Thea's conversation.

" Where did you get these?" Thea asked

" Roxy's. Thank you daddy's ACL tear." her friend responded. Cam'Ron decided he would tell Oliver about this later. As soon as he made that decision Oliver came down the hall and knocked on Thea's door. Inside Thea and her friend scrambled to hide what they were doing before he entered the room.

" Ollie." Thea said

" No one's called me Ollie in a long time Speedy." Oliver responded

" Worst nickname ever." she said

" What always chasing after you as a kid. I thought it fit pretty well. Maybe it still does." he joked

" See you at school speedy." her friend said before she left. She noticed Cam'Ron looking at her before she left out the house.

" Sorry about her." Thea said

" I have something for you." Oliver said ignoring her statement.

" You did not come back from a deserted island with a souvenir?" she asked'

" It's a hozen. And in Buddhism, it symbolizes reconnecting. I kept it in hopes it would reconnect me with you." he said

" Don't expect anything from me I'm not into that sentimental shit." Cam'Ron said when Thea looked at him standing in the doorway.

" A rock. That is sweet." Tommy said entering himself into the conversation. " You know I want one of those T-shirts that says My friend was a Castaway and all I got was this crappy shirt." This caused Thea to look at him and just chuckle.

" Don't let him get you into too much trouble. You just got back take it slow." Thea said Oliver then brought her into his embrace after kissing her forehead. Tommy then cleared his throat to get Oliver's attention.

" The city awaits." Tommy said. And that was their cue to go. " Have you noticed how cute your sister's gotten?" Tommy asked

" He's not wrong O." Cam'Ron said causing Tommy smiled causing Oliver to look at him making tommy uncomfortable.

" Your funerals blew." Tommy said

" Did you get lucky?" Oliver asked

" Fish in barrel." Tommy replied this made Cam'Ron smile remembering old times. " So your still the silent brooding type then Cam'Ron huh?" Tommy questioned

" Was I supposed to be more joyous after being on a deserted island." he replied

" Anyways I need another target rich environment for you guys' welcome home bash." Tommy said

" Our what?" Oliver asked

" You guys came back from the dead. This calls for a party. You tell me when and where. I'll take care of everything." Tommy said before pulling up by the old factory which held the Gaze of Cam'Ron and Oliver. " This city's gone to crap. You know your dad sold his factory just in time. And why'd you wanna drive through this neighborhood anyway?"

" No reason." was the simple response Oliver gave

" So what'd you guys miss the most." Tommy asked. In response Cam'Ron just shrugged, but Oliver thought for a quick second.

" Laurel." Oliver said

" Everyone is happy your alive. You wanna see the one person who isn't?" Tommy questioned. Laurel was locked in conversation with her friend/coworker talking about her current case against Adam Hunt. Before she looked at her desk to see Oliver and Cam'Ron forcing a look of surprise and pain to her face. When she looks at them all she can see is her cheating ex boyfriend and his best friend.

" Hello Laurel." Oliver said breaking the silence. " You went to law school. You said you would."

" Yeah. Everyone's proud." she replied. Cam'Ron watched this conversation unfold as the two ex lovers beat around the bush with their issues.

" Adam Hunt's a heavy hitter. You sure you want to get the ring with him?" Ollie asked trying prolong this conversation with the girl he still loves.

" Five years and you wanna talk about Adam Hunt?" she asked

" No, not really." Oliver said

" Why are you here Ollie?" she asked

" To apologize." he answered

" For cheating on me with my sister and taking her on a yacht that got her killed!" she said anger in her voice

" That's where I need to interject Laurel Oliver didn't bring Sara on the Yacht I did at the time I convinced her to keep our relationship a secret." Cam'Ron said causing Laurel to break down knowing that she had misplaced her anger for 5 years and made her feel a little worse about sleeping with Tommy. After saying this Cam'Ron went to go wait by Tommy.

" Ollie I'm sorry." Laurel began to say before Oliver cut her off

" Don't be and that wasn't the only reason I came here. Laurel I need you to stay away from me." Oliver said

" Why would you say something like that you come over and explain yourself I just don't understand." Laurel said confused

" Laurel even without the Sara incident I was never good for you I cheated multiple times and you still tried to see the best in me." Oliver explained

" Fuck you Ollie. You don't get to come back from the dead and put me on a emotional roller coaster fuck you!" Laurel screamed causing Oliver to walk away. " Did that go as well as you thought it would."

" About." Tommy said turning to go walk with Oliver and Cam'Ron " Okay so we took care of that Good call. Now we can make up for lost time. If you're not too sick of fish I suggest we find some leggy models and eat sushi all day." Tommy said trying to lighten the mood. But before Oliver or Cam'Ron could respond and van pulled up behind them into the alleyway. " what the hell." Tommy said before 3 masked dudes walked from the other side firing tranquillizers into the necks of the 3 men.

" Mr. Queen Mr. Bailey Mr. Queen Mr. Bailey!" one of the masked yelled to get them to wake up. " Did your father survive that accident?" he began to question threatening them with a taser. " I ask the questions. You give the answers." he said trying to intimidate Oliver and Cam'Ron. But what he didn't know was Cam'Ron already broke out of his restraints and Oliver was soon to be out of his. When he was still given no response he turned to his friends and shrugged before tasing both of them. " Did he make it to the island? Did he tell you guys anything?" he asked again before tasing them again when they refused to respond.

" Yes he did." Oliver answered. This caused the masked torturer to no his head and bend down closer to Oliver.

" What did he tell you, Mr. Queen?" he asked. Oliver took a deep breath before answering, and looking down to make sure Tommy was still knocked out.

" He told me where gonna kill you." Oliver said looking at Cam'Ron this caused the capturers to laugh

" Your delusional." he told Oliver " You're both zip-cuffed to those chairs." They both showed them their hands uncuffed

" Not anymore." Oliver said. Cam'Ron and Oliver then quickly try to take care of the guys in the room. Oliver decides to give chase to make sure no one knows his and Cam'Ron's secret.

" So that's your story a guy in a green hood flew in and singlehandedly took out 4 armed kidnappers." Quinten said a look of disbelief on his face. " I mean who is he? Why, why, why, would he do that?" detective lance asked

" We don't know. Find him and you can ask." Oliver said

" Yeah. What about you?" lance asked Tommy

" I saw just movement." was Tommy's quick reply " Everything blurry I was kind of out of it.

" Yeah. It's funny, isn't it? One day back and already somebody's gunning for you. Aren't you popular." Lance said

" Were you able to identify the men." Moira asked

" Scrubbed identities, untraceable weapons. These were pros." his partner said

" Yeah. Well, they probably figured you'd pay a king's ransom to get your boy back or a Queen's ransom as it were." lance said " After all a parent would do anything to keep their child safe." he said staring straight at Oliver.

" I don't find your tone appropriate, detective." Moira interjected

" If Oliver can think of anything else we'll be in touch." Walter said " Thank you gentleman for coming."

" Your luck never seems to runout does it." Lance says on his way out

" Excuse me I'll be right back." Cam'Ron said getting up to follow the detectives. " Lance!" he yelled as they walked out the door

" What is there some detail you forgot or something?" he asked

" Lance you need to direct your anger for Sara's death on me I brung her on the boat not Oliver that's on me. That's all I had to say." Cam'Ron said before going back in the house. After finishing up with the detective Oliver went upstairs so he could start doing research on Adam Hunt. He then looked down at the book that his father had given him. He then quickly closed down what he was looking at when Raisa entered the room.

" You are different. Not like you to read a book." Raisa said carrying a tray of food.

" I missed you, Raisa." Oliver said a smile painted on his face.

" No kitchen on the Island." she said

" No." he replied

" Hey. Thank you. he said taking the tray of food

" Do I really seem different?" he asked

" No. You're still a good boy." she said

" Oh, I think we both know I wasn't." he said

" But a good heart." she replied

" I hope so. I wanna be the person you always told me I could be." Oliver said The Next Day Oliver and Cam'Ron walked out the house to prepare for their crusade.

" Oliver Cam'Ron I wanna introduce you to someone. John Diggle he'll accompany you guys from now on." Moira stated

" I don't need another babysitter." Oliver said " I already had this one for pretty much my entire life."

" Darling, Oliver's a grown man. And if he doesn't feel he needs armed protection." Walter interjected

" I'm the armed protection." Cam'Ron said

" And I understand but this is something I need." Moira pleaded. This caused Oliver and Cam'Ron to share a look knowing that this would interfere with their plans today. After conceded they formulated a plan to ditch their designated bodyguard.

" So what do we call you?" Oliver asked

" Diggle's good. Dig if you want." was Diggle's response

" You're ex-military?" Oliver asked

" Yes, sir 105th airborne out of Kandahar, retired." he answered " Been in the private sector a little more than 4 years now. I don't want there to be any confusion my ability to keep you from harm will outweigh your comfort. do we have an agreement?" However once he said that both Oliver and Cam'Ron had left the car and were nowhere to be seen. Leaving Diggle in the middle of the street without the men he was supposed to protect. Oliver and Cam'Ron both with bags in their hands began the walk to the old factory.

" I like that Diggle guy." Cam'Ron said

" Yeah so." Oliver asked

" You never know when we might need additional help." Cam'Ron said

" We can't trust anyone with our secret." Ollie responded. Their conversation ended as soon as they got to the factory gate. Both men hopped over the gate effortlessly and continued their journey. They got into the warehouse and the inside looked just as bad as outside. They got prepared for their crusade each with different tasks. Oliver was grinding out and sharpening his arrow heads, while Cam'Ron was checking his guns and making sure his ammo was good. They each decided to take a break in their own way. Cam'Ron was deep in meditation while Oliver decided a midday workout was his way to relive stress. Oliver was looking at a crate, this crate had a lotta sentimental value to him. He opened the crate to reveal a bow. He pulled the bow out and went to get his quiver releasing a bunch of tennis balls pinning each one to wall with an arrow.

" Enjoying target practice?" Cam'Ron asked

" I'll enjoy giving these bastards proper justice." he replied.

" Look at you serious as ever if only I could get the frat boy to have this level of commitment." Cam'Ron joked. Oliver was about to reply but an news article on Laurel's lawsuit on Adam Hunt. This causes Oliver to look down at the book his father gave him eyeing Adam Hunt's name. " Adam Hunt has never been able to get one of his cases to stick always able to bribe himself outta any situation." Cam'Ron said

" Well looks like he'll be first. He hasn't met me." Oliver replied.

" You remind Grell I put him on the bench I can take him off. I will turn him into a cautionary tale." Hunt said

" Yes sir." came 1 of the men's reply.

" And this attorney, Laurel Lance. You said she wasn't gonna be a problem anymore. I told you to fix that situation. Why are you still here." Hunt stated But as soon as the men left on of his bodyguard's was taken out.

" Get in the car." the remaining guard said. He closed the door before firing off into the parking lot.

" Hey, you missed." Came the voice of someone. In the car hunt hears the sound of an arrow being fired and and a body hitting the floor. An arrow was then fired into one of the seats in the car causing Hunt to get out the car to run only to be met by his attacker a man in a hood.

" You're gonna

" transfer 40 million into Starling City bank account 1141 by 10:00 p.m. tomorrow night." the hooded man said.

" Or what?" asked hunt

" Or I'm gonna take it, and your not gonna like how." The hood said.

" If I see you again your dead!" Hunt yelled out. The hood simply turned around and fired an arrow into the back window. Then he left to return to the shadows.

" I see your having fun." Cam'Ron said walking up behind Oliver

" Yeah I'm just doing what's necessary." Oliver responded. The morning after the attack Hunt was in his office with the police reporting what happened to Detective Lance.

" He was wearing a green hood and he had a bow and arrow." Hunt explained " What you don't believe me? That maniac put 2 of my men in the hospital" Hunt said pulling out 1 of the arrows from the attack last night.

" Well thanks for your statement. Uh we'll put out a APB on Robin hood " Lance said

" Hey, pal. I'm not some grocer who got taken for his register. I go to the front of the line. Now he said he would be here by 10 p.m. Make sure your here first. You can coordinate with Mr. Drakon my new head of security." Hunt stated. He was very serious about the matter meanwhile Lance and his partner were just annoyed by the millionaire.

" Alright well uh thanks for your time." Lance said. After he and his partner both made their way out of the building.

" Well it looks like queen was telling the truth." his partner said

" Well there's a first time for everything." Lance said " This hooded guy comes looking for trouble he'll find it." he said before the elevator closed. Oliver and Cam'Ron step outside to go to the car and open the door to be met with the sight of John Diggle.

" Put on your seatbelts sir. Wouldn't want you to miss your party." Diggle said with a smirk on his face. At the party music is blaring loudly at the party and everyone is dancing when Oliver and Cam'Ron enter the club. They walk down the stairs and Oliver checks his phone to see it's 9:07 pm. Tommy upon seeing his best friends coming down the stairs signals for the dj to cut the music. Cam'Ron quickly faded into the crowd and to the bar to get a drink.

" Everybody, hey!" Tommy yelled out to get everybody's attention. " Man of the hour he's here and his brother is in here somewhere." Tommy then directed Oliver to a group of ladies. " Whoo and ladies please give this man a proper homecoming." As tommy said that the music started playing again as Oliver stood on stage.

" Thank you very much, everybody!" he said meanwhile tommy beckoned him to give him a shot of tequila. Taking the shot he yells out " I missed tequila!" Meanwhile in the building next door Adam Hunt's security team was preparing for the arrival of the hood.

" What the hell is going on out there?" Hunt asked

" It's across the street. Party for the guys that got rescued off that island. Oliver Queen and Cam'Ron Bailey III." Drakon said. Back at the party Oliver and Tommy are at the bar with Cam'Ron. Diggle was making sure to keep a close eye on them.

" Hey does he wipe for you, too?" Tommy asked Oliver " Now by my rough estimate neither of you have had sex in 1839 days. And as both of your wingman I highly recommend Carmen Golden for you Oliver."

" Which one is she?" Oliver asked

" The one who looks like the chick from Twilight." Tommy said

" What's Twilight." Oliver and Cam'Ron asked

" You're so better off not knowing." Tommy replied. Oliver looked over to see Thea buying drugs from some guy in the club and began to move towards Thea. Cam'Ron however stopped him.

" I'll take care of it Ollie." Cam'Ron said to convince Oliver. Cam'Ron walked over to Thea and her friends tapping Thea on her shoulder.

" Cam hey this party is sick." Thea said

" Who let you in here Thea." Cam'Ron asked

" I, I believe it was somebody who said Right this way miss Queen." she said

" You shouldn't be here." Cam'Ron said

" Cam'Ron I'm not 12 anymore." she said

" No your 17." Cam'Ron replied

" Okay just stop it didn't work with Ollie it's not gonna work with me." she said

" I failed Oliver earlier in his life I'm not gonna fail you too." Cam'Ron replied " I'm not watching you turn into Frat boy Ollie."

" Last time I checked your not my father so enforce your good will on someone who actually wants your help." she said trying to go walk back to her friends.

" I know me and ollie were gone for 5 years but." Cam'Ron began but was interrupted

" No you guys died and my brothers and my father died I went to your funerals." she said

" I understand." he said

" No you don't no one does you and Oliver had each other on the island mom had Walter but I had no one. You guys act like everything's normal but it's not. I can't forget about the 5 years I thought my brothers were dead." Thea said " Those 5 years are a part of me so I'm sorry if I turned out some major disappointment, but this me is the best I could do." she said before walking off back to her friends

" You have the fun dip?" her friend from earlier asked

" Yeah, it's right here." Thea said. However she couldn't find it making her realize that Cam'Ron stole it out of her bag. " No I must of dropped it." she said much to the disappointment of her friends. Cam'Ron went to tell Oliver about the conversation he had with Thea showing him the drugs he had taken from her. Oliver took it throwing it in the trash catching the smirk of Diggle watching him. Oliver in his way back to the bar bumped into Laurel.

" You're here." Oliver said shocked by her presence

" Tommy He made the point that we have too many years between us to leave things the way we left them." she said " Is there someplace quieter that we could go?" she asked

" Yeah." Oliver responded then began to lead her outside. Cam'Ron caught the gaze of Tommy looking at Laurel and Oliver leaving making a mental note to ask about it later.

" Ollie I don't understand you come down to my job with your brother to explain the Sara situation just to tell me to stay away make it make sense." Laurel said

" Your doing it now Laurel trying to see if I've changed for the better before the island I was a jerk now I'm just a damaged jerk." Oliver stated

" So let me help you Ollie I wanna help." Laurel said

" No you deserve better than me I still love you but part of that is letting go find someone better." Oliver said bringing Laurel into his embrace. As his phone went off alerting him that its time

" What's that Oliver?" she asked

" I asked somebody to do something they didn't do it." Oliver replied " now of you excuse me I've got 5 years of debauchery to catch up on."

" You know Ollie for a minute there you actually had me thinkin you had grown up but it seems all the island did was make you a honest asshole." Laurel said before walking off. Oliver walked back into the building to prepare to go after hunt

" Something I can help you with sir." came the voice of Diggle

" I just wanted a second to myself." Oliver said

" I would believe you, Mr. Queen, if you weren't so full of crap. Party's this way." Diggle said letting Oliver past him to open the door

" Door's locked." Oliver said Diggle gave him a look before going to open the door but Oliver put him in a hold knocking him out. In Hunt's building he was preparing for the arrow all his security getting to their positions and properly loading weapons in anticipation for a confrontation. Drakon gives hunt one final nod to increase confidence. All most directly afterwards a;; power in the building was shut off. The elevator door opened and and arrow was fired off into a guard leg as he let off rounds into the ceiling. Oliver took out the 2 guards stationed right outside the elevator doors. Making his way down the hallways taking guards out while rounds are being fired of at him. Meanwhile inside his office hunt is forced to just listen and wait to the sounds of his security being taken out. After a large burst of bullets being fired all they could hear was silence.

All the guards in the room stood anxious waiting for someone to come through the door. A body flew through the door causing 1 jumpy guard to let of rounds into the person pushed through the door. Once the guard stopped firing Oliver shot an arrow into his shoulder before taking out the guard around the corner. Then he fired an arrow by the head of hunt.

" You missed." he said

" Really?" Oliver asked. Before he had the chance to do anything else Drakon came out of nowhere and attacked Oliver hunt moved out of the room to inform the police that the hood was here.

" All units converge!" Lance yelled out Meanwhile in the room Oliver was still in combat with Drakon back in the office. Drakon got a hold of a gun during their conflict and Oliver had to jump of Hunt's desk to avoid fire getting knocked out in the process. When Oliver came to he was laying on the floor, and the cops were feet away from the office.

" Lay down your weapons or we will open fire!" yelled the voice of an officer. This caused Oliver to quickly grab his bow firing an arrow at the door before making a rush for the window. He jumped out of the window ziplining back down to the club. The police moved into the club trying to find the hooded archer.

" Search the building, roof to basement." Lance instructed going to the dance floor where the mass of people were. " Starling city police! The party's over kids." he said as he moved deeper into the club. " Oh Mr. Merlyn. Imagine my shock at finding you here. Did you roofie anyone special tonight, huh?" he berated only causing a smile to grace the face of Tommy

" Detective it's a private party." Oliver said

" Yeah well there was an incident at Adam Hunt's building tonight. You know anything about that?" Lance asked

" Who's Adam Hunt?" Oliver asked

" He's a millionaire. Bottom-feeder, and I'm kind of surprised you aren't friends." Lance said

" I've been out of town a while." Oliver said

" Yeah. Well he just got attacked by the guy with the hood the guy that saved your ass the other day." Lance said

" The hood guy. You find him? I'm gonna offer a reward." Oliver said turning to the crowd. " Hey everybody 2 million dollars to anybody that can find a nut bar in a green hood." Oliver said getting a large cheer from the crowd. Lance walked up and got in Oliver's face

" Your still that same shitbag that hopped on a boat 5 years ago queen." Lance said

" Okay lets go partner." his partner said Once they walked away Oliver stood on the stage to get the party going again

" It's way too quiet in here this is a party!" he yelled out And the rest of the night was regular they partied and left late. The next day Oliver was on a computer sending the 40 million that Adam Hunt owed back to all of the respective parties.

" If hypothetically $50,000 magically appeared in your bank account it might be best for you not to speak about it to anyone ever. God bless you to." Laurel said to one of her clients over the phone.

" I just hot a very grateful phone call from one of our clients against Adam Hunt." Laurel's friend said

" Me too." Laurel said

" It looks like starling city has a guardian angel." her friend said. " By the way you cute friend is here." she said before walking away. Laurel got up from her desk to be met with the sight of Tommy Merlyn.

" You left the party pretty quick last night even after I made sure the bar was stocked pinot noir." Tommy said

" It wasn't really my scene.: Laurel responded

" I thought maybe you and Oliver went mano a mano again." he said

" There's nothing between Oliver and I, not anymore." Laurel replied

" And here I thought the only thing between you and Oliver was us." Tommy said

" I wouldn't exactly characterize us as an us, Tommy." Laurel said

" Then what would you call it?" asked Tommy

" A lapse." she answered

" That's quite a few lapses. Your place, my place, my place again." he said causing laurel to laugh.

" Oh come on Merlyn we both know that you're not a one-girl type of guy." Laurel said

" Depends on the girl." he replied

" I have to go back to work." Laurel said walking off from Tommy

" Dinah laurel lance Always trying to save the world." he said causing her to turn around

" Hey if I don't try and save it, who will." she said before walking off. Neither Tommy nor laurel knew though that their conversation was being watched by a certain hooded crusader.
