Disclaimer: Yeah, Yeah, I own nothing on with the story

Canary looked at everyone and let them cool down for a minute before having everyone return to their seats. She played the memory.

[Queen Mansion] - Living Room

Detective Lance: So that's your story. A guy in a green hood flew in and single-handedly took out 3 armed kidnappers. I mean, who is he? Why would he do that?

"Yeah, why would 'He' do that?" Lance asked Oliver Suspiciouslly.

Oliver: I don't know. Find him and you can ask.

Detective Lance: Yeah. What about you? (shows him the sketch) You see the hood guy?

Tommy: I saw... just movement. Everything blurry. I was kind of out of it.

"You're defending him?" Laurel asked.

"I was out cold. Even if I did see it, I wouldn't be able to believe it."

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

Moira: Were you able to identify the men?

Detective Hilton: Scrubbed identities, untraceable weapons. These were pros.

Detective Lance: 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. After all, a parent would do anything to keep their child safe.

"Dad, that was too much." Laurel said.

Detective Lance just mumbled and continued to watch.

Moira: I don't find your tone appropriate, Detective. Walter: If Oliver can think of anything else, he'll be in touch. Thank you, gentlemen, for coming. [Detective Lance chuckles]

Detective Lance: Your luck never seems to run out, does it? (The detectives leave)

[Oliver's Bedroom] - Raisa enters with lunch and she and Oliver talk.

Raisa: You are different. Not like you to read a book.

Oliver: I missed you, Raisa.

Raisa: No kitchen on the island.

Oliver: No. No friends either. (He stands and walks to her) Hey. (He takes the tray from her) Thank you. (He sets the tray down) Do I really seem different?

Raisa: No. You're still a good boy.

Oliver: Oh, I think we both know I wasn't.

Most people in the room nodded and agreed with that statement.

Raisa: But a good heart.

Oliver: I hope so. I want to be the person you always told me I could be. [Outside the Mansion] Oliver is leaving the Mansion when Moira stops him and introduces him to his new bodyguard.

"Looks like this is where I come in." Diggle said.

Moira: Oliver, I want to introduce you to someone... John Diggle. He'll be accompanying you from now on.

Oliver: I don't need a babysitter. Walter: Darling, Oliver's a grown man. And if he doesn't feel he needs armed protection—

Moira: Yeah, I understand, but this is something I need.

[In the car]

Oliver: So...What do I call you?

John Diggle: Diggle's good. Dig if you want.

Oliver: You're ex-military?

Diggle: Yes, sir. 105th airborne off of Kandahar, retired. Been in the private sector a little more than 4 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? (No response) Sir? [The car door opens and closes][Cars honk][Diggle looks behind to find Oliver gone. He slams on the brake] Sir! [He gets out and looks behind. Oliver is gone]

The entire room starts laughing at that and Dig looks at Oliver.

"Get used to it, because I am going to be doing that a lot." Oliver said while Tommy fist bumped him.

"And how do you plan on doing that once we're done with this and I've seen every time you've done it."

"I have a special set of skills."

[Oliver walks through the slums. He reaches his father's old factory, he throws his bags over and scales the fence. He enters the abandoned factory and brings to make lair. In a montage he trains intensively - sharpening his skills]

All the girls started to pay extra close attention to the screen, making Tommy groan and Oliver just smirked at him.

"Don't worry Tommy, I can be your trainer." Oliver said.

"I would tell you to shut up, but I actually might take you up on that offer."

Oliver (V.O.): The abduction was unexpected. It forced me to move up my plans, but what I told the police was true. The man in the green hood was there in that warehouse, and he's just beginning.

"What are you planning?" Malcom of all people said, making everyone focus on Oliver.

"I'm sure we'll see." Oliver said.

Television Anchorman: The suit alleges that Hunt committed multiple acts of fraud and theft against the city's underprivileged. Laurel Lance, an attorney for the city necessary...

Oliver (V.O.): Adam Hunt...his crimes go deeper than fraud and theft, but he's been able to bully, bribe, or kill anyone who's gotten into his way. He hasn't met me yet.

Thank you for your patience, I started writing this before college and now that I'm in college it's harder to write a thousand plus chapter. If you can wait a little longer, I have a break coming in a few weeks and I might be able to update then.
