The next day, Oliver was sitting in his office trying do some work when his secretary informed him he had a visitor.
"Send them in." Oliver said as the door opened and he was pleasantly surprised to see Thea walk into his office.
"Thea, not that it's not good to see you, but I thought that you weren't coming back to Star City?" Oliver asked as he hugged his little sister.
"Well, that was before I heard that the wedding I have been secretly planning since I was 10 is finally happening." Thea said and Oliver rolled his eyes.
"So, you took a break from hunting down Lazarus pits just to congratulate me?" Oliver asked.
"Not exactly. While tracking down the pits was difficult, destroying them was easy since Nyssa already knew how. They're gone and no one can ever use them again and considering what I think the guild was planning on using them for, it's good riddance." Thea said.
"Why, what were they planning?" Oliver asked.
"It's just a hunch, but I'm pretty sure they were planning on bringing back their leader." Thea said.
"Of course they were. So anyways, onto more pleasant conversation, how long are you guys in town for?" Oliver asked, since he assumed that Roy was there to.
"Actually, the reason why I'm here is because I need a favor from you." Thea said.
"What is it?" Oliver asked.
"Roy wants to stop running, but that means turning himself in and going to trial. I need you to talk him out of it." Thea said, much to Oliver's surprise.
"Thea, I'm not sure if I can, since Roy is almost as stubborn as you." Oliver said.
"Please Ollie, try. I just got him back and I can't lose him again." Thea said.
"Well, I'll try, but I think a better use of time would be start getting a defense ready to get him cleared of all charges." Oliver said and Thea nodded.
"Okay, but if this goes well, then I think that Roy and I will stay in Star City. For good." Thea said.
"That's strange. A few months ago you couldn't wait to get out of the city." Oliver said.
"Yeah well, that was back when Roy was a wanted man in the city. Hopefully after the trial, he won't be." Thea said.
Oliver was unsuccessful in convincing Roy to change his mind, so instead, he hooked him up his own lawyer, Jean Loring.
Now all of Team Arrow were standing in the bunker, minus Roy, who had turned himself in and was being held in Iron Heights under protective custody until the trial.
"Please tell me you guys have a plan to get Roy out of this?" Thea asked.
"We do, but Thea, like you, I was also subpoenaed and so were Laurel and Quentin, which means that a majority of it falls on John and Alena." Oliver said, causing Thea to look at John.
"Okay, so what is the plan?" Thea asked.
"We're bringing in an old ally to help convince the jury that Roy is not the Arrow and if all else fails, we have a contingency plan as well. I'd better get going. I'll be back as soon as I can." John said as he walked out.
"Okay, can you give me more details?" Thea asked.
"Thea, trust me, the less you know, the better. For your own sake, but just relax and remember that I am not going to make the same mistake I did three years ago and let Roy take the heat for my actions." Oliver said.
"No Ollie, you are not going to tell the world that you were the Arrow." Thea said.
"You're right, I'm not. I finally got all that heat off me and I intend to keep it off. Just trust that I know what I'm doing." Oliver said and Thea nodded, right as Laurel noticed something on Thea's hand.
"Thea, is that what I think it is?" Laurel asked.
"No. What are you talking about?" Thea asked, trying to slip whatever it was off her hand before Oliver noticed, but it was too late as he grabbed her wrist and saw that is was simple golden band, but he knew what it was immediately.
"Thea, is this a wedding ring?" Oliver asked and Thea sighed.
"Yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner, but it all just sort of happened. Roy proposed to me after we destroyed the last Lazarus Pit and since we couldn't really have a big ceremony, we decided to just elope with Nyssa as our witness." Thea said.
"Well, considering Felicity and I did the same thing with only John in attendance, I guess I can't judge you, but once Roy is acquitted and he will be, I am throwing you both a reception." Oliver said.
"I can live with that. By the way, how are things going with Dinah, Curtis and Rene?" Thea asked.
"They're getting better." Oliver said.
"Yeah, Dinah and I are actually almost partners at the precinct. Except that I'm a detective and she's a captain." Laurel said.
"Now anyways, we should probably start getting our stories straight for when we're each called to the stand." Oliver said and both women nodded.
