A/N: Okay so I wanted to start out by saying sorry this took so long, I'm trying to write between a full college schedule (which includes extra observation time) and it's proving to be difficult. I probably won't update every week like I thought I would, but I'll try not to keep you guys waiting too long.

"Guys, Nyssa and I have a problem and we need your help." She said as all the faces in the room became dead serious.

"What do you need?" Oliver asked

Chapter 4.

"Nyssa and I are doing a little recon for her dad." Sara said earning a glare from Oliver. "We're not working for the league again Oliver. He needed someone he trusted to do this, and that's me and Nys."

"What kind of recon were you guys doing?" Roy asked.

"The triad is branching out as of late, looking for ways to take out groups like the league who put a damper on their business. The league added a group of up and coming Welsh gangsters to their and recently found out they were spies for the triad. The triad was helping them build their organization, in return they had to help them get information." Sara glanced around the group. "Nyssa's dad found out about it and word got to the spies, the fled and we've been tracking them down and….dealing with them. We've gotten four of the six dealt with already, Nyssa is back in Paris dealing with the fifth and I've tracked numbed six to Starling."

"Do you have any idea why he choose to come to Starling?" Diggle asked and Sara shook her head.

"We tried to get some more info out of the last one we caught up with, but she wasn't talking." Sara sighed. "I'm sure he's got a reason though."

"So you want us to help you find him?" Oliver asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Yeah, if you don't mind." Sara nodded. "His name is Gareth Tomos, I sent his picture and few other things to your email Felicity."

"I'll start running a search on his name, facial recognition, and about five other searchers." Felicity smiled and moved to her computer.

"Thank you so much Lis." Sara smiled back at her. The group feel silent for a moment as the sound of Felicity typing away on the keyboard

"So what's the plan then? For after we find him?" Addison asked looking from her aunt to her dad.

"Well you're going to stay down here with your mom, while we try and catch him." Her dad said.

"I want to help, I want to help you guys catch him."

"No, not only are not ready but you got in a fight today at school." Oliver sighed.

"So part of my punishment is that I'm stuck down in the lair while you guys go kick ass." Addison crossed her arms over her chest.

"We're not talking about this right now Addie." Oliver looked at her and Addie stalked over to sit beside her mother with a huff.

"Here, help me." Felicity gave her daughter a small smile and turned her toward the computer. "Try and get into the airports surveillance system and do a facial recognition scan for this guy." She pulled the picture up. "Be sure not to leave anyway for them to trace you."

"Don't insult my skill mother." Addison smiled as she began typing on the keyboard. "It's airport security, not the FBI. Though I did manage to hack them once, by accident of course."

"I'd be worried if I didn't know who your parents were kid." Roy laughed. "Looks like you taught her well Blondie."

"Yes it's my goal in life for my daughter to be a master hacker." Felicity smiled, the group laughed as Felicity and Addison went back to work on the computers.

"I've got it." Addison said after a few moments causing everyone to huddle behind her. "Tomos arrived in Starling four days ago, he waited at gate six for a while and then he was pick up by someone in a black car."

"Plate number?" Oliver asked glancing down at his daughter, who just shook her head.

"No plates, I guess they were expecting he'd be followed. Sorry." She looked up at him.

"It helps me a bit though." Felicity said. "I can narrow my search on Starling's traffic cam, and CCTV's to the last four days." Addison turned to face the group behind her.

"If he was picked up that means he has friends here in Starling, that's going to make things a bit harder isn't it?" she asked.

"We've handled worse." Sara gave her a small smile.

"I'm going to call Anatoly and see if he can find anything out." Oliver said as he started to walk away, Addison could hear him speaking in Russian moments later. She had meet Anatoly a few times throughout her childhood, and she wasn't quite sure how he would be able to help all the way from Russia.

"Is there something I should know about Anatoly?" she asked her mother. She could hear Roy and Diggle chuckle behind her. "There is isn't there?"

"Anatoly, may or may not be a leader of the Russian Mafia." Felicity mumbled without looking at her daughter.

"The Russian Mafia, the man who calls on Christmas and sends Tommy and I presents on or birthdays in the Russian Mafia." Addison stared at her mother. "How does dad even know him?"

"They met on the island," Felicity turned to face her daughter, "and then your dad may or may not have joined the Bratva."

"Oh my god, my dad is not only Starling City's vigilantly he is a Russian mobster." Addison shook her head. "Like could you guys have lives that are any less normal?"

"Normalcy is overrated." Oliver said as he came back into the main room.

"Your Russian mob boss have info?" Addison asked as she crossed her arms over her chest. "So is this why we had to learn Russian? Because you have ties to the, what was it mom said, the Bratva"

"I don't just have ties I'm a captain," Oliver gave her small smile, "and you learns Russian so we could have a way to communicate in secret if need be."

"Did Anatoly know anything?" Felicity asked.

"He's going to call his people and see of they've heard anything. They've apparently been getting some trouble out of someone wannabe mobsters from Wales and he thinks it might be connected."

"Until then I guess you're stuck here with us Sara." Roy smiled at the blonde. "You coming out with us tonight?"

"Of course." Sara smiled. "I've missed crime fighting with you guys."

"Let's head out then, Addie I want you on the coms with your mom." Oliver said as the group turned and headed toward the stairs. Addie sat back in her chair with a huff.

"So you wanna talk about what happened at school?" Felicity asked as she switched the coms on and began surveillance for the night.

"What's to talk about? I got mad, lost my temper." Addie shrugged. "Totally normal thing for a Queen to do."

"Yeah, but it's not what you do Addie." Felicity glanced at her daughter. "You usually have better control, you father has made sure you have excellent control since you were first put in self-defense classes."

"Mom!" Addison took a deep breath. "I'm not ready to talk about this. Ava said some things and I need to come to terms with what this means, and how much of it I believe, and then I need to talk to dad." She looked at her mother. "I know you mean well, but I also know you would lie for dad if it meant I wouldn't be mad at him."

"Addison…Addie," Felicity gave the younger girl a small smile, "I'll respect that you want time to think about this, but know that everything your father has done, he did for the safety of this family." Addison nodded and the pair turned back to the computer screens before them, and got ready to start the nights work.

Seven years earlier

"Former Playboy Oliver Queen may be back to his old ways." Addison's attention was drawn away from her homework as her father's name was mentioned on the TV. "Sources say Queen is now living separate from wife Felicity, the home Queen is now staying in was visited by the Starling PD earlier tonight after a noise complaint..."

"Why is this on?" Felicity sighed as she hurried in the room and switched the TV off.

"They were talking about daddy." Addison looked up at her mother, Felicity gave her daughter a forced smile.

"People like talking about daddy. Don't listen to them." She kissed her daughters head. "Is your homework done?"

"Almost." Addison nodded and turned her attention back to the math problem in front of her.

Oliver Queen found his daughter on the balcony of her bedroom the next morning. He was still getting use to her coming to his house on the weekends after she had stayed away for so long. Addison was looking out over the yard, sipping her coffee, moments like these it amazed Oliver how much she looked like her mother.

"I can feel you watching me." Addison said without turning around. "I'm not as easy to sneak up on as mom is."

"No I guess you're not." Oliver walked over and leaned against the railing. "I almost forgot you were here this morning. I've gotten so use to it being me and Tommy."

"Yeah, I'm really sorry about that." Addison gave him a small smile.

"It's alright." Oliver laughed. "We Queen's have a tendency to overreact when things happen that we don't like." He put an arm over her shoulder. "You know that you can come to whenever you're ready to talk about what Ava said yesterday right?"

"I know dad." Addie nodded. "But I'm not ready yet, I'm still thinking things over, trying to figure what I believe and what I don't." Oliver kissed the top of her head.

"Grandma just dropped Tommy off, why don't the three of us head out for breakfast." Addison smiled and nodded.

After the three had breakfast at one of the dinners in Starling they decided to take Tommy out for an archery lesson. Tommy was so excited by the time they reached the archery range behind the Oliver's house he could hardly stand still.

"Okay Tommy, this bow was your sister's when she was first learning to shoot." Oliver said as he placed the bow in his son's hand. "It's made just like mine and sissy's only a bit smaller. Now Addie's going to show how to shoot and then we'll let you try okay?"

"Okay." Tommy nodded and turned to Addie who was getting in line with the target.

"Ready?" she asked glancing at her dad and brother.

"Go ahead." Oliver smiled at her and she drew the bowstring back, "Elbow up." He said and watched as she made the correction. Seconds later she released the bowstring and the arrow flew forward hitting the center of the target.

"Good job Addie!" Tommy cheered.

"Alright, your turn buddy." Oliver said as Addie stepped back and he walked over with Tommy to where she was standing. "Okay now keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed." Oliver adjusted his son's stance. "Now bring the bow up, draw your bow, elbow up and straight. Line up your shot and when you think you've got it release the string." Addison and Oliver watched as Tommy took a minute to line up the shot before releasing the arrow. It priced the top edge of the target.

"Good shoot bub." Addison smiled.

"I didn't hit the middle." He frowned.

"Addie didn't either on her first try." Oliver told him, "You'll get it with practice, you want to try again?" Tommy nodded, grabbing another arrow and taking his stance. "Why a second." Oliver walked over and fixed the boys stance. "Now." Tommy took his second shot, this time hitting a bit closer to the center.

"I got closer this time!" he cheered.

"See, you'll get better over time." Oliver smiled. The rest of the afternoon the three Queen's spent taking turns shooting at the target, before heading over to the Queen Manor for dinner that night. Moria of course wanted to talk about the incident at Addison's school. As Felicity had predicted there was a video of the fight and the pauperize had jumped all over it. Oliver had jumped in and said that there was a misunderstanding between the two girls, and the situation just got out of control. Moria had asked a few more questions but Walter got her to back off. Carson and Tommy wanted to stay with their grandmother a while longer, so Thea agreed to stop by and get them after she finished at the club. After saying goodbyes Oliver and Addie headed to the Foundry.

"Felicity's running late." Roy said as the pair walked down the steps.

"Where is she?" Addison asked as she walked over and began switching the computers on.

"She said she had a date." Diggle said, watching as Oliver tensed.

"You're sure she said date?" Addison asked glanced back at him. "Mom hasn't been on a date since she and dad split."

"Well she went on one tonight, she said you'd be able to handle all our surveillance stuff." JD walked over to stand by Addison.

"Of course I can, it's just traffic cams and CCTV's." Addison sighed and feel back in the chair as the computers began to start up. "I just wish she would have given me a heads up."

"Maybe she just didn't know how to tell, or it was last minute." JD said.

"Yeah I guess so." She sighed and began typing away at the keys in front of her. When they guys and Sara where ready to head out she gave them all time to get up the stairs before switching them on. They had enough time to get to the glades when their first hit popped up.

"Looks like there's a break in at the bank of the corner of Clark St. It's going to take the cops latest fifteen minutes to get there." She said.

"We can be there in five." Oliver voice came through the coms in full arrow mode. As the five started to head toward the bank Addison go to work hacking into bank surveillance.

"It's a group of six working together, two on the front door, one covering the side, and the other three are in the vault. Besides the front and side door it looks like there is a skylight that you can drop into the bank from, looks like that might be how they got in."

"Sara, you and Roy cover the front entrance, Diggle get the side, and JD you're with me on the roof." Oliver said.

"One for each of and who gets the plus one?" Roy chuckled.

"First to the finish." Addison could almost hear the smile in her father's voice. She watched as the stormed the back, no one moving till the other's where in place, the robbers where in completely shook when the group descended on them. Oliver and JD headed straight to the vault while Sara, Roy and, Diggle quickly disarmed the three at the entrances. Dig and Sara worked to tie them up while Roy went to the vault to help Oliver and JD. By the time the cops arrived the robbers were tied up and Team Arrow had vanished from the scene. Addison had been so caught up in watching the team she hadn't heard her mother come downstairs.

"Good job." Felicity said causing her daughter to turn and look at her.

"I just did what I've seen you do the few night's I've been down here." Addison shrugged. "How was your date?" she asked a bitter tone to her voice.

"It wasn't really a date Addie." Felicity frowned. "It was more of a business meeting, I was with Rhys Jones. He wanted to meet and talk about the company's."

"That seems like something you and dad should have done together." Addison moved so her mom could take a seat at the computers.

"You dad had already met with Rhys." Felicity said. "And besides I wanted him to enjoy his day with you and Tommy."

"I still wish you would have told." Addison leaned against the desk.

"Next time I promise you I will let you know." Felicity gave her a small smile.

"Addie, is your mom there yet?" Oliver asked through the coms.

"Here." Felicity turned back to the screens. "Ready for your next job."

Three hours later the group of vigilantes were descending the stairs into the foundry, bickering over who arrived at the last hit first. Diggle was just shaking his head as he came in behind him.

"Okay kids, that's enough." He said with a chuckle. Oliver walked over and hugged Addison.

"You did good tonight kid." He smiled. "I was very impressed."

"Thanks." She smiled back. "The hacking was easy, trying to keep an eye on everyone was a bit harder."

"Well we all came back in one piece so mission accomplished." Roy teased.

"Next time you're on your own." Addison smirked at him.

The next day JD came by Oliver's in the morning and asked if Addison wanted to hangout. So now the pair where riding though Starling on his motorcycle like they'd done a hundred times before.

"Big Belly?" JD asked over the roar of the engine, Addison agreed and they sped off toward the restaurant. They took seats across from each other at their usual table when they got there.

"So is fighting crime any different when Aunt Sara's around?" Addie asked after they had ordered their food.

"There's less to do." He shrugged. "Roy, your dad, and Sara work so well together. I feel a bit like an outsider."

"At least you get to be out there fighting." Addison frowned. "I'll be lucky if I get to join you guys before dad retires."

"Addie, you know he just wants to make sure you're ready before he sends you out there." JD told her.

"I am ready, I've been ready!" Addison shouted forgetting for a moment where they were. "I want to help you guys." She said a bit quitter.

"And you will, when Oliver says you are ready." JD sighed. "Your dad's standards are high, with good reason. He knows what it takes to win and he won't let you go out there till he's sure you can."

"I hate when you're on his side." She huffed.

"Being on your dad's side is safest for me." He laughed. "Being anything other than on your dad's team tends not to end well."

"Yeah I guess you're right, but I still don't like it." She frowned.

"Where do we stand on your mom's date last night?" JD asked as he shoved some fries in his mouth.

"She said it was strictly work related." Addison sighed. "I feel like if that was the case dad should have been with her, but I'm going to trust that if it were anything other than she would tell."

"Would you be okay? With you mom dating again I mean." JD met his friend's eyes.

"I don't know JD." She shook her head. "I know she and dad have been separated for a while, but it's still wired to think of her with anyone but dad. I want her to be happy, but I don't know how to handle that. Tommy, he doesn't remember mom and dad being together, but I do. We were happy, and they were so great together. I just…..I don't know."

"I think if your mom is dating it's going to take us all a while to get used to it." JD said. "But if she's happy isn't that all that matters."

"Yeah, I guess so." Addison nodded, "Is ARGUS still trying to recruit you?" she asked ready for a subject.

"Of course." He sighed. "You'd think as much as mom and dad keep trying to push them away they'd get the message. They don't want me caught up in all the corruption that comes with a position at ARGUS. Mom thinks once they find out you share your dad's skills they'll try and come after you."

"Yeah I'm pretty sure that will be a big no from dad." Addison said causing them both to laugh. The pair spent the rest of the day together, right up until time for them to head to the Foundry. They were the first one's there besides Felicity who was typing away at her computers until she heard them come in.

"Addison," Felicity smiled, "I was hoping you'd get her before your dad."

"Why?" the younger girl asked as she and JD watched Felicity get up and walk across the lair.

"I have a gift for you." Felicity said, coming back over with a bag and handing it to her daughter. Addison reached in and pulled out a green hood, similar to the one her father wore. "The rest of the outfits in there as well." She smiled. "I know your dad isn't letting you out yet, but I thought you need it when does. I got green since no one's going to confuse you and your father." Addison hugged her mother.

"Thank you so much, I love it." She smiled.

"Go put it on before your father gets her and snatches it away." Felicity laughed and watched as her daughter took off to change. By the time the others began to arrive both Addison and JD had changed into their gear and were leaning against one of the desk as they chatted with Felicity.

"What she wearing?" Oliver asked as Addison came into view.

"Mom got it for me, for when I finally get to go out with you all of you." Addison told him.

"It's pretty badass Addie." Sara smiled.

"Like a little tiny Arrow." Roy laughed.

That next night Oliver called everyone to the Foundry with news from Anatoly about Sara's welsh friend. Everyone gathered dressed in their gear, minus Felicity and Diggle. They all stood silently, tensed posture, awaiting whatever news Oliver had.

"Anatoly's men have also been looking for Tomos, he and his friends have apparently cause problems with the Bratva as well. There are a few other members of Tomos' organization are here in Starling, trying to build a name for themselves. Some of Anatoly's men have a set up a meeting with them, they think they are picking up weapons but they planned to take them out."

"Ra's won't be happy if someone else gets to Tomos before Nyssa or I do." Sara said crossing her arms over her chest.

"Anatoly doesn't wish to give Ra's al Ghul a reason to come after his organization so he's agreed to let us take over the sting." Oliver told her. "It's going down in two hours, we'll have to be there before then and make sure we're ready. We may not get another a shot at this." He glanced around the group. "Everyone will go out tonight, except for Felicity and Addison."

"You need me tonight, let me go." Addison said.

"No, I don't what we're walking into, how many men there will be, you're staying here." Oliver said. "Everyone else get ready."

Two hours later Addison sat next to her mother as they watched Tomos and about a dozen other men enter the alley Anatoly's men had asked them to meet at. Arrow and the Canary waited for them at the end.

"Gareth Tomos, you have betrayed Ra's al Ghul." Canary said. "For that you will pay." Within seconds Tomos had fired the first shot, and then the fight was on. Tomos men were falling as bullets and arrows flew through the air. Felicity drew in a sharp breath and Addison watched as JD feel to the ground.

"We're getting him out of here." Diggle's voice came across the scanner as he and Roy lifted JD and carried him away from the alley.

"Dad and Sara need help." Addison said turning from the computer screens.

"Your father said for you to stay here." Felicity said.

"I'm not going to let them be killed." Addison grabbed her bow and headed upstairs.

"Addison! Addie!" Felicity yelled after her.

Addison hopped on her father's bike that was parked outside the foundry and drove to the building behind the alley. She climbed to the roof and fired off her first arrow before making her way down to her father and Sara and joining in the fight. One by one the men feel and soon the three had Tomos cornered and alone.

"I had heard that there was a man in a hood protecting this city. I hadn't heard about the miniature version." Tomos chuckled.

"They are not your business." Sara stepped up. "You have angered the Demon, and for that you will pay." Sara killed him as the police sirens sounded in the background. "Ra's will want the body."

"Roy, come help Sara." Oliver said into the coms. "You come with me." He grabbed Addison arm and shot a grappling arrow and the two were pulled onto the roof. "You weren't supposed to be out here."

"You and Aunt Sara needed help." Addison told him. "So I came to make sure the two of you didn't get killed."

"If you are going to be part of this team you have to listen!" Oliver yelled.

"I can't be part of the team if you won't let me." Addison glared at him. "Can we just go back to the Foundry? I want to check on JD."

"Fine." Oliver huffed. "Go, I'm going to make sure Sara and Roy have everything under control."

"Addie." Felicity wrapped her arms around her daughter as soon as she descended the stairs. "Oh you did so good tonight." She kissed the top of Addison head.

"Dad's not happy." Addie sighed. "How's JD?" she glanced behind her mother to where he laid on the table his father next to him.

"He'll be fine. It hit his shoulder, straight through, he'll be in pain for a while but he'll be okay." Felicity gave her a small smile. "He wasn't too happy that you'd took off out there either." Addison shook her head.

"I wish everyone would realize that I can hold my own out there. That I have every right to be a part of this team." Addison huffed. Sara, Roy, and Oliver came down the stairs moments later.

"Addie, come with me." Oliver said. Addison glanced back at her mother who gave her a small smile and tilted her head in her father's direction. Addison followed him up the stairs to the store room of Verdant.

"Please if you're going to start yelling at me for being out there don't." Addison said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Because I know I did the right thing. You and Aunt Sara needed help, so I came to help you guys."

"I know," Oliver said. "I am upset that you disobeyed me, but I'm glad that you listened to your gut when and to help." He hugged her. "I'm proud of you, you used everything you've learned the past few weeks. I was wrong to think you weren't ready to join us."

"So I get to start going out with you guys?" she smiled up at him.

"As long as you listen ad follow orders, yes." Oliver nodded. "But if you go out there and try and do your own thing like you did tonight, you'll be out of this all together."

"Yes sir." Addie smiled and hugged her father again. "Thank you, so much." They headed back downstairs and as Addison and the other's fussed over JD Oliver pulled Felicity to the side.

"She'll be on the news tomorrow morning." He shook his head. "Starling's newest vigilantly. A few of Tomos men got away and I'm sure the cops will pull the CCTV footage when they find the mess we left."

"It'll be fine, no one will know it's her." Felicity gave him a small smile. "She did great."

"She really did." Oliver nodded before turning to face her head on. "I never asked how your date was."

"It wasn't really a date." Felicity looked down. "Rhys Jones wanted to meet with the other majority shareholder of Queen Consolidated so we went for dinner. He wanted to know what I thought the chances where of our company investing in his, and I told him that was a conversation for the three of us to have together. He asked if I'd like to have dinner again sometime and I told him I'd have to think about it."

"Just….be careful." Oliver warned, "Something about him didn't sit well with me when we met. I don't trust him."

"Thank you Oliver, I will." Felicity smiled and kissed his cheek before walking over to join the others.
