After Thea had been discharged from the hospital, she was transferred back to the mansion on bed rest.
She was currently reading one of her fashion magazines when she heard a knock on her door.
"Come in." Thea said as she put her magazine down as the door opened to reveal Laurel and a cute little girl that could only be her niece, Jasmine.
"Hey Speedy." Laurel said with a grin as Jasmine ran towards her.
"Auntie Thea." Jasmine said as she climbed onto Thea's bed.
"Hey Jaz." Thea said as her niece cuddled up next to her.
"Daddy said you got hurt." Jasmine said.
"I did, but I'm feeling much better now." Thea said as she hugged Jasmine, who smiled at her.
"We wanted to see how you were doing, since Jasmine is terrified of doctors, just like all kids her age are, so we decided to wait until you were home to see you." Laurel said.
"Are you scared of the doctor?" Thea asked her niece.
"The doctor pinches me with pointy things that hurt." Jasmine said and Thea smiled at her.
"I know they hurt, but they help make you healthy." Thea said as Raisa entered with Thea's lunch.
"Thank you Raisa." Thea said as she dug in.
"I don't know if Jasmine is ready to leave, but we just finished a batch of her favorite cookies. Fresh from the oven." Raisa said and Jasmine looked at her mother pleadingly, who just rolled her eyes.
"Go, I need to talk to your aunt Thea in private anyways. Just promise you won't let her eat too many." Laurel said and Raisa nodded as she took Jasmine's hand and led her out of the room.
"I take it Oliver told you I got Beyonded." Thea asked and Laurel nodded.
"Welcome to the club." Laurel said.
"Thanks. I heard that John and Roy were here to." Thea said.
"They are. And I heard that you actually committed suicide. What happened?" Laurel asked her concerned.
"It's not something that will happen again. After Oliver died, my life went downhill. Your dad and Felicity did their best to help me, made me go to AA meetings, got me into rehab, but it in the end, I just couldn't take it anymore. Especially when I found out about Roy. But now I have back everyone that was taken from me. And don't worry, I don't plan on using suicide again." Thea assured her.
"Just making sure we don't have to worry about you." Laurel said and Thea nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Thea said.
"I have to ask, what happened to William?" Laurel asked.
"He was in college when Oliver died. After the funeral, I don't know why, but he grew angry at Oliver for dying, said that he hadn't been so concerned with being a hero and more concerned with being anormal man, than he'd still be alive. He moved away without telling any of us where he was going. Never really heard from him after that." Thea said.
"Oliver will be disappointed when he hears about that." Laurel said.
"He and Oliver were always at odds regarding his vigilante career." Thea said and Laurel just nodded.
"You okay?" John asked Oliver as he entered the lair to see Oliver sharpening his arrows.
"I think we both know the answer to that John. My sister was shot by the same woman who nearly killed my mother back on Earth One and I'm still considering recruiting her to the team." Oliver said.
"It's natural. You feel like you failed Helena before, but now you have a chance to save her from herself." John said and Oliver nodded.
"Despite everything she's done, I still want to help her." Oliver said.
"And that's one of the many reasons why I chose to follow your lead before and why I continue to follow it now." John said and Oliver nodded, though he was still uncertain.
"I'm still not sure." Oliver said.
"Then maybe you should talk to Thea about it. Get her opinion on this." John said.
"And that is one of the reasons why I recruited you in the first place. You were always the voice of reason John. I'm glad you still are." Oliver said with a smile as he headed out.
"Hey Speedy." Oliver said as he entered his sister's room.
"Hey Ollie. What brings you here?" Thea asked.
"I needed to get your opinion on something." Oliver said.
"Shoot." Thea said.
"I'm pretty sure that the shooter who put you in the hospital was Helena Bertinelli." Oliver said.
"We think alike. I'm not sure how that concerns me." Thea said.
"Just like before, I'm still planning on trying to recruit her. Do you think that's stupid?" Oliver asked.
"No, I think that's something only you would do, because of how noble you are. And, if you didn't believe in giving people second chances, you never would've brought Roy or Felicity into the fold. Or even Rene, though that might've been a mistake." Thea said and Oliver took her hand.
"Hey, what's important now is that we're both together again." Oliver said.
"I know. And also, once I'm out of bed, I'm rejoining the team." Thea said.
"What? No, you're not." Oliver said.
"Yes I am. Ollie, please, this is something I need to do." Thea said.
"Why, you got out of the game because you didn't like who you were becoming." Oliver said.
"That was before you died. I didn't tell Laurel this, but another reason why I ended my life on Earth One was guilt." Thea said.
"Guilt, for what?" Oliver asked.
"A part of me felt that maybe if I hadn't had left the team, then maybe you wouldn't have recruited Rene and he wouldn't have been able to shoot you." Thea said.
"Thea, it wasn't your fault. I'm the one who chose to trust Rene again when we reformed the team. That was on me. Not you. But, if you need this, well, your 17 year old body isn't exactly in the best shape for crime fighting, so once you're off bedrest, while you still might have your skills, we need to get your body back into shape." Oliver said.
"On that much we agree. I need to get a haircut." Thea said and Oliver nodded.
