Hey everyone how are you?

Here we shall witness the origins of a powerful organization known as the Guardian Protectorate. An organization consisting of 6 legendary yet tragically fallen heroes who've ascended to a higher plane of existence and now serve to protect and oversee the multiverse.

For this first chapter we shall focus on Earth Prime Oliver Queen and how he was selected and I hope you'll all enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Arrowverse or the MCU.

Setting: The Afterlife

Location: Its Highest Level

Following his ascension to the role of Spectre and his sacrifice to restore the multiverse, Oliver, still wearing the dark green robes of his new attire, found himself standing within a vast expanse of pure light which shimmered in multicolored hues. The golden surface below his feet glittered brightly while the backdrop was an exact replica of the icy landscape of the Himalayas.

As he absorbed his breathtaking surroundings two beings suddenly materialized in front of him. One of the beings appeared as a towering and imposing figure constructed with gold and owning 3 hairless golden faces hovering above its shoulders while having glowing blue eyes. There was also a circular structure upon its chest which emanated light.

The other being was a gorgeous and exotic looking brunette with flowing hair and ocean blue skin. Her attire consisted of a violet cape which included a veil draped over her head plus a violet cloth consisting of yellow stripes wrapped around her hips. In addition to a short violet tank top plus a golden necklace around her neck along with a large pair of golden hoop earrings.

Her head was also adorned with a golden tiara which had a ruby stone attached to its front and rested upon her forehead.

"Greetings mighty Spectre. And welcome to our abode," the former figure greeted him in a booming voice.

"Um, greetings to you as well. I guess. For the record though but um, who exactly are you guys?" Oliver returned with a curious smile and then questioned them.

The woman chuckled softly.

"I am Rama Kushna. And my companion is known as the Living Tribunal," she warmly answered before continuing. "I maintain the balance between chaos and order and together with him we serve as the multiverse's ultimate caretakers. The reason we stand before you is because you are a true hero who has displayed courage, strength, conviction, honor, and resilience. Along with exemplifying the role of a true protector. And despite your mistakes, crossed lines at times, and struggles you've managed to persevere for what's right and as that protector while overcoming any obstacles thrown at you.

"Furthermore but you also do not tolerate injustice in addition to possessing a righteous indignation towards those trampling upon others and especially the downtrodden for their own ends.

"Therefore we have been sanctioned by the Fulcrum, the universal and all powerful one from which everything originates including ourselves, to extend to you a special offer which we sincerely hope you'll consider."

Oliver in response tilted his head to the side in thought and raised his eyebrows. Intrigued.

"I see. And what exactly is this offer you're presenting to me?" he questioned them both. Interested as to what it was.

"What we're offering is the highest honor one such as yourself can receive. And if you accept you'll be able to continue operating as a protector but on a scale tremendously higher than anyone's ever accomplished," the Living Tribunal answered him before continuing. "What we're offering you is the opportunity to ascend to a higher function as the Spectre by being elevated to not just the creator of the multiverse but also functioning as our representative in protecting and overseeing it. Watching over it just as you watched over your city and protecting it from those who would either unleash harm upon it or manipulate it to further their own ambitions."

After hearing those words Oliver found himself overwhelmed. Never in a billion years expecting an opportunity like this. The idea was surreal to him and it took him a bit of time before he recovered.

"Wow. I don't really know what to say other than you're both correct in that this is indeed a great honor you're willing to bestow upon me and one I'm flattered by. And you're also correct in that it would provide me with the opportunity to accomplish more than I have in my lifetime," he responded in awe and conceded.

"For the record, we didn't come to this decision lightly and nor is it mandatory for you to acquiesce. The choice is entirely up to you. Yet you must be made aware of the fact that there is a certain organization we'd originally created and authorized to oversee the multiverse and to maintain its safety across the time periods of each individual Earth. An organization designated as the Council Of Time Masters. Regrettably their motives have transitioned towards an increasingly selfish direction which has resulted in them having completely descended into corruption.

"Already they've engineered severe damage across time and space orchestrating horrific events, character assassinations, and injustices which should've never transpired. Including certain tragedies you've endured.

"Because of that a different, improved, and honorable organization needs to arise in order to replace the Time Masters so that the multiverse can cease from being victimized by their callous behavior in addition to the need for the damage they've unleashed to be reversed."

"Furthermore and if you agree to this you won't be alone for 5 other heroes shall join you. Those we've also selected and if they're willing to accept," the Living Tribunal continued following where his companion had just left off. "Three of whom who've made the ultimate sacrifice just as you did and 2 of them who've yet to pass on though their tragic demises are inevitable. And it shall be your role to recruit them for this purpose. Together all of you shall establish a new organization known as the Guardian Protectorate. An organization guarding and protecting the multiverse from nefarious elements outside and within. And you'll also be tasked with neutralizing the Time Masters when the correct time for it manifests itself and however you believe is appropriate."

"And so we ask you. Oliver Jonas Queen. Will you accept our offer to be elevated to the position of the greatest protector of all time? Will you allow yourself and the other aforementioned heroes, if they accept, to serve as our instruments of justice and repair the multiverse due to the damage inflicted upon it?" Lady Kushna resumed speaking and then questioned him before falling silent as she and her companion awaited his answer.

Oliver bowed his head and took a moment to contemplate on this opportunity though it became increasingly apparent that there was only one answer. Especially considering the fact that his moral convictions would not permit him to leave the newly revived and expanded multiverse he sacrificed himself for to be subjected to the cruel schemes of malevolent beings. Whether from within or without.

Furthermore but he would always remain a hero and protector all the way down to the innermost fiber of his being.

Finally he lifted his head and faced the 2 powerful beings before him with a resolute expression.

"I accept. And I will do whatever's necessary to maintain the security and preservation of the multiverse and conduct the required corrections where needed due to the damage inflicted upon it. And thank you for this opportunity and I will execute this responsibility with the utmost dedication and resolve possible," Oliver answered with determination. Completely embracing his new duties which he accepted in their entirety.

Rama Kushna and the Living Tribunal smiled proudly. Pleased with his response.

"Congratulations then on becoming the first founding member of the Guardian Protectorate and we can only hope the other heroes will heed the call just as you have," the latter affirmed and then expressed his own desire for the other heroes when Oliver would present them with the same opportunity.

"And now we bid you farewell and encourage you to proceed through the portal towards your right through which your new headquarters awaits," Lady Kushna finally said and gestured towards a swirling sphere of light nearby. Oliver bowed his head in response after which Rama Kushna and the Living Tribunal vanished. He then approached the sphere and entered through it and emerging from the other side discovered a vast throne room consisting of 6 golden thrones.

Moving closer and circling the thrones he saw that the central throne had the symbol of a green arrowhead emblazoned upon its backside which clearly designated it as assigned to him. He also saw that the other thrones had their own respective symbols upon their backsides consisting of the shapes of a yellow colored canary, a black colored mask that resembled the face of a black panther, an upside down white triangle, a red hourglass, and a white colored snowflake with the bottom point 3 times longer than the other 5 points and extending downwards.

Afterwards Oliver seated himself upon his prescribed throne and reclined against it. Ready for this latest chapter of his existence and prepared to tackle whatever duties he needed to conduct until the others chosen joined him.

To Be Continued

A/N And here we have the setup for our new organization of heroes who'll preside over the multiverse and I hope everyone reading enjoyed it.

The following chapter will have Earth Prime Laurel as the next recruit for the Guardian Protectorate.

I researched her for a second time just to be sure of some things and Rama's role is about maintaining balance. For this arc I've expanded her role to also be a multiverse caretaker alongside the Living Tribunal.

Thanks for reading and have a great day.
