A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews. I love the support I am getting for this :D I've decided who I want Maya with, and I hope you guys like it. This chapter isn't very eventful. It'll probably just be Thea and Maya bonding, with a little Olicity and Diggle. I just want Maya to fit in.

Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Oliciter- thanks for that. I totally understand where you are coming from. I wanted some input from the readers so that I could keep them and myself happy. But thank you for your ideas.

Ellie- Thanks. I'll be showing hints of who I pair her with in this chapter.

"You don't understand!" Maya fought. "He's not just some bad boy. He's the worst boy. He's…he's…"

"Who is he Maya?" Thea asked.

"He's part of the Death Clan," she whispered, but to the rest of them it was like she uttered a death threat that would shake the walls of the rooms.

They all stared at her, wondering what they had gotten themselves into.

"Maya! What have you gotten yourself into?" Felicity exclaimed.

"I didn't know. No one knew. I didn't even find out till I sent him to prison. I knew he was a bad boy, and part of some gang, but I didn't know which one. After sending him to prison, I got multiple threats from his boys. I finally told mom and dad, and they let me move here. I didn't think they'd follow me here," Maya explained, she felt liking crying, but wouldn't.

"Okay, for someone who has been on an island for the past 5 years, please tell me who the Death Clan are," Oliver asked. When no one else started up, Maya decided to tell him.

"They are one of the most feared gangs in the nation. They are stationed all over the US. A couple of years ago, there was a shooting. It happened at a girls school. One of the girls there wouldn't have sex with one of the clan's guy so he opened fire and killed almost 70 girls, and 5 teachers. Everyone is scared of them. Every time one of them goes to prison for something, there's another gang member added."

"And you're telling me your ex-boyfriend is part of the gang, and you sent him to prison. So now he and his gang are after you…wow," Oliver said.

"Well not the whole gang. It's actually just his family. Each family in the clan are separate. They don't get involved in anyone else's business," Maya explained, "thankfully for me, Scott's family is just him and his two brothers."

"What are we going to do?" Thea asked.

"You guys are going to go back to normal. Your normal everyday lives. I'm going to work as a PA for Laurel, try and get another job as a waitress. Everything will be normal, and when Scott comes here, I'm going to handle it," Maya said, getting up.

"Over my dead body," Felicity argued, "there is no way I'm going to let you handle this by yourself."

"Yeah, you really think we're going to let you go through this alone," Thea asked, squeezing Maya's arms. "Anyway, it's nice to finally have someone who's kind of near my age around. I mean I love these people, but I can get so sick of them. Roy isn't the most interesting company."

"Hey! I'm interesting," Roy argued. Maya and Thea laughed.

"Sure you are…anyway Maya, if you need a job as a waitress just work here. That way we can keep an eye on you, and I can get to know you," Thea said.

"That is a good idea. When did you get so smart Thea?" Oliver said.

"When you started to become not-so-smart," Thea said, causing Diggle, Roy and Maya to crack up.

"Well, if we're done insulting my intelligence I think we need to start getting the club ready for tonight," Oliver said.

"Yes. You guys can do what you need to. Maya, Roy and I can handle the club," Thea said. "Anyway, don't you all have a job to do."

"My dear, this is my job," Tommy said, making Maya smile.

"My job is with Laurel," Maya said.

"No it's okay. You stay here. You can start tomorrow," Laurel told her. "I anyway have to organize things for you. So you work here today. But tomorrow I'll expect you bright and early at 8am tomorrow."

"Thanks Laurel," Maya said, smiling at her.

"Now I should get back to work. May I have a word with you Felicity?" Laurel asked. Felicity was surprised, but nodded. They walked away from the rest. Oliver shot Diggle a look. Diggle just shook his head.

"I'm have some things to take care of. Diggle I need to go back to QC," Oliver stated, leaving with Diggle.

"I guess it's just us." The three young adults turned to look at Tommy.

"Well Maya and I are going to organize some of the alcohol in the back. That way we can get to know each other," The said, hooking her arm through Maya's and dragging her back. Tommy and Roy gave each other an understanding look. Meanwhile, Laurel and Felicity walked out together.

"Felicity, I know you and I haven't really got along. We don't know each other very well. But we both know Oliver really well. It's obvious he has feelings for you, and I want you to know that I am completely over him," Laurel told Felicity. All Felicity could do was look at Laurel wide eyed.

"I…I don't know what you're talking about. Oliver and I just friends. I know you guys have this huge history, and they with everything going on. Anyway, he doesn't see me that way. I mean we're just friends, I swear. There is no-"
But Laurel cut off Felicity's babbling.

"Felicity, it's okay. I don't really mind. Anyway, I just want to tell you that I will do my best to keep Maya safe. She has a bright future ahead of her, and I don't want something like an ex-boyfriend to get in the way of that," Laurel said. Felicity smiled at her.

"Thanks Laurel. For giving her a job, for willing to take care of her, and for everything you said," Felicity said. Laurel squeezed her arm softly.

"Umm Felicity, we should get back to QC," Oliver said, approaching the two women.

"I will see you guys tomorrow. Call me if anything happens," Laurel said. She kissed Oliver's cheek and left. Felicity followed Oliver to where Diggle was waiting for them. The ride was pretty quiet.

"Felicity, are you okay?" Oliver asked.

"My sister, who I haven't seen for 3 years, is being threatened by a member of one of the most notorious gangs in the nation. So no…okay is not a word I would use," Felicity exclaimed. Oliver tried to supress the smile he had, remembering when he used the same type of line on her previously. He put his hand on top of hers.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay. I will make sure she doesn't get hurt. If this guy, or his gang, decides to step a foot in this city, he'll be dead. I'll take care of him. Meanwhile I want you and Maya to stay with me," Oliver said.

"What? No! Oliver, I'll be fine in my apartment," Felicity argued.

"I'll feel much safer if you were near me. In light of recent events, I think it'd be better to be somewhere where there is a lot of security. If you won't do this for me, do this for Maya. She'll be safer, and so will you," Oliver persisted. After a few moments of silent, Felicity let out a sigh.

"Fine, but you have to come with me so I can get mine and Maya's stuff," Felicity said.

"Anything," Oliver said, smiling. Once they reached QC, before exiting Felicity squeezed Oliver's hand.

"Thanks for caring so much, and looking after me," she said. He pulled her into a hug.

"Anything for you Felicity. You're not just anyone. You're my partner," Oliver said. Felicity pulled away and kissed his cheek. She then wiped the lipstick off his lips.

"Thank you," she said, squeezing his hand once more before getting out.

"You know, I'm hurt that you don't consider me your partner," Diggle said. Oliver flashed a smile his way.

"Of course I do. Felicity is just…" Oliver said, watching Felicity walk into the QC building.

"Yeah…she's Felicity," Diggle said smiling.

Meanwhile at Verdant, Thea and Maya were talking and organizing the alcohol.

"I know one of your deep dark secrets, but I don't really interesting about you," Thea said.

"Are you telling me that you don't think the fact my ex-boyfriend is out to get me is interesting?" Maya said, raising an eyebrow.

"I mean, I don't know anything happy interesting," Thea explained.

"What do you wanna know?" Maya asked.

"Hobbies? Celebrity crushes? Life Goals? Anything!" Thea exclaimed.

"Hobbies are dancing, singing, reading, writing, baking. Celebrity crushes are Tom Felton, Johnny Depp, Robert Downy Jr. Life Goals are to be successful, and be able to take care of my family," Maya told her, "…and when I was little, like 5 or 6, I wanted to be a swimming teacher." Adding on that little part, to lighten the situation even more.

"Dancing, I must see you do that, and hear you sing, and taste something you bake. I love Johnny Depp. I know you will be successful…and a swimming teacher huh?" Thea said. They both stared at each other for a few seconds before bursting out into uncontrollable laughter. Roy decided to enter than, and raised an eye brow at the two girls who were laughing their heads off.

"Sorry to interrupt…whatever this is, but Tommy wants to discuss numbers with you Thea," Roy told them. The girls finally stopped laughing.

"Okay," Thea said. Walking out. She flashed Roy a smile then left. Roy turned to help Maya, who was giving them a thoughtful look.

"What?" he asked, as he got to work.

"What's going on between you guys?" Maya asked.

"We used to date…then things got complicated…and now we're just friends," Roy explained.

"But you both clearly want to be more. God you guys are like some teen drama movie," Maya said. Roy let out a hearty laugh. "Just so you know, I shipped you guys from the moment you helped her up after the guys attacked her."

"You what?" Roy said, wide eyed.

"Shipped you. You know like my OTP. I think you guys are number 2, behind Oliver and my sister. You know I think I should give you a couple name. What about….Rhea…no…TOY! Yes Toy! That is your couple name. Doesn't that sound amazing! Toy…" Maya babbled on, while Roy stared at her in surprise.

"Oh my god. You're fan-girling over me and Thea," Roy said, incredulously .

"You do know who's sister I am…right?" Maya said, giving him a 'are-you-serious' look.

"Touche," Roy said, laughing. Maya joined him in, and soon they were laughing their heads off. Thea came back in, and watched them laugh.

"Why is it when people come looking for you, you're always laughing with someone?" Thea said.

"We were just discussing how your brother and my sister, make up my OTP," Maya explained, catching her breath.

"Me too! Oh my god, like seriously. They need to get together!" Thea exclaimed. Roy started to laugh again.

"We should get them together," Maya said.

"You are officially my new best friend," Thea said, "I was just thinking the same thing."

"Oh my god…No! I am not getting involved in this. Your brother has finally stopped hating me a little, I'm not doing this," Roy said, shaking his head.

"Come on Roy. Everyone wants them together," Maya whined.

"And you know Felicity always defends you. So if they get together Ollie will never shout at you," Thea said, trying to convince him.

"Please," the girls begged, giving him the pouty lips and big doe eyes.

"FINE! But if this blows up, I will not take any of the blame," Roy said, defeated. The girls squealed and attack him in a hug.

"Aww…a group hug without me. I don't feel the love," Tommy said, appearing in the doorway.

"Sorry, this is for young people," Thea said, pulling away from the rest.

"I'm insulted. Some friend you are," Tommy said, pouting.

"Aww, you're cute. But that still doesn't get you a hug," Maya said.

"I'm hurt," Tommy said. Maya let out a small laugh, making Tommy smile. "Anyway, I came here to tell you guys that it's time for you guys to get dressed up. We'll be opening soon, and we need to start the bar and drinks."

"It's already 5. Wow, today has gone fast," Maya said. "Do I have a uniform?"

"No," Tommy said.

"What? I do!" Roy cried. Thea hit her head.

"Yeah, but I didn't hire you. Oliver did, so whomever I higher doesn't have to wear a uniform. Plus, you're a dude," Tommy explained, his eyes still trained on Maya.

"I'll wear a uniform I don't mind," Maya said.

"No need. Girls don't wear one, and plus I actually like you," Tommy said, then closing his mouth when he realized what he said. Maya blushed, and Roy and Thea shared a look.

"Umm, well I need clothes then," Maya said, looking away from Tommy.

"I'll see what I have," Thea told her. She took Maya's hand and pulled her out. She dragged her to a back room where there were a bunch of clothes lying around.

"Umm, I don't think your clothes will fit me. I'm taller, and a bit bigger," Maya said, nervously.

"Don't worry. I have clothes for all shapes and sizes here. I love fashion and design," Thea said, excitedly.

"Then why don't you major in it. Why don't you go study in Paris or Milan? I mean you do have the money," Maya asked, looking at some tops.

"I do. But there is the club, and with everything happening with my family, I don't know if I can leave them. Anyway, Ollie would never let me go alone," Thea said, not so excitedly.

"I think a year or two away from your family would be good for you. And you don't have to go alone. I could go with you. I mean yeah I have a job, and I'm smart. But I've always had an interest in art and design. I planned on traveling to Paris and Italy when I earned enough money. Take a couple of courses or art and design, you know. Live my life the way I want to," Maya said, removing her top and putting on a long sleeved black crop top.

"You know, you're right. I should take a year or two off, and go study something I really love. I know how to speak Italian and French already, so it would be fine. Would you come with me?" Thea said, turning to Maya. "Cute choice. Wear these jeans, and add these earrings and bracelet. You should add a pop of color if you're gonna wear all black. Pink is the perfect color. Oh and these boots."

"We should actually plan this properly. I mean if it's the two of us, we could totally do it. My kick ass moves and genius, with your attitude and talent with languages, we would totally rock Paris or Rome," Maya said, taking the boots and jewellery from Thea.

"Would you really come with me? I mean you've barely known me for a day," Thea said.

"Maybe, but you're the only who has really gotten to know me in less than 24 hours, and has actually accepted me with my issues," Maya told her, applying lipstick and mascara to her face.

"Everyone has their demons, you just have to accept it. Anyway, you're like the sister, I've always wanted," Thea said.

"Aww thanks, anyway if Oliver and Fliss get together, then we could actually be sister," Maya said, winking at Thea who burst into a fit of giggles.

"We should go, before they bring a search party for you," Thea said. They left the back room and made their way to the bar, where there were already people drinking and dancing. Maya got to work while Thea watched the crowd. She swerved around the crowd easily, and swung her hips to the beat while serving the drinks. About an hour later she approached the bar.

"Is there any way I can get water?" she asked, her throat had gotten really dry.

"Sure," Tommy said smiling, turning to look her. His mouth went dry looking at her. He hadn't seen her the whole night so far. She looked amazing in her long-sleeved black crop top, black skin jeans, and bright pink lips. Her hair was in a side pony tail. Despite being a little bruised, she still showed a bit of skin.

"Umm Tommy…the water?" Maya asked.

"Oh…uh yeah," he said, shaking his head. Focus Tommy. She's Felicity's little sister. She's like Thea. But older. No. yes. No. yes. Tommy was having an inner battle with himself. He turned back and gave her the water. She smiled at him and gulped in down quickly, then got back to work.

"Man, you got it bad," said a voice behind him. He turned and saw Roy smirking at him.

"Shut up!"

"Dude, you do know that she's working for your ex. And the younger sister of your best friend's current," Roy explained to him.

"Since when were Smoaky and Ollie dating?" Tommy asked.

"Well they're not. But everyone knows they liked each other. Anyway, Maya and Thea have taken it upon themselves to get them together," Roy explained to him, and Tommy started to laugh.

"No surprise there," Tommy said to him.

"Oh no, trouble," Roy said, his face changing. Tommy travelled to where his eyes were looking. His eyes darkened and he jumped over the bar, Roy following him. Meanwhile with Maya, she was serving a couple of guys when one of them ran his hand up and down his arm.

"I'd rather you didn't touch me," she snapped, moving away from the guy.

"Come on baby. I can take you somewhere better than this," he said, moving forward towards her.

"I'd rather go to hell than go anywhere with you," she snapped, and tried to turn away but the guy caught her arm.

"I like feisty girls," he said, bring his face closer to hers. His breath smelled of alcohol, and she moved her face away.

"How will you like it when I slap your face?" she said, her voice raising a little. She stepped on his foot, and pushed him away. She quickly made an escape, just to be caught by Tommy.

"Hey, you okay?" Tommy asked, concern etched across his face. She squeezed the arm he had put around her.

"Yeah, nothing I can't handle. Just some drunk ass guy, who needs some serious attitude changing lessons," she said.

"I'll deal with him," Roy said, going to get the guy out.

"You sure you're okay. You've had a rough day, so if you need a break just tell me," Tommy said, looking over her to make sure she was okay.

"Tommy, I'm fine. Trust me, it's nothing I can't handle. This is nothing compared to what I've been through," Maya told him, sending him a reassuring smile. He nodded, and made his way back to the bar, his eyes not leaving Maya. The rest of the night was pretty uneventful, which was good for Maya. She was just taking out the trash when the guy who has harassed her before came out of nowhere.

"What the hell?" Maya screamed.

"Hey baby! No need to scream, it's just me and you now," he said, reaching out for her. She grabbed him arm and twisted, then kneed him in the stomach and punched his face.

"Stay the hell away from me!" Maya yelled, as she walked away fast. She turned away, and saw Oliver standing there.

"Are you okay?" he asked concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine. He was bothering me tonight in the club, so Roy and Tommy kicked him out," Maya explained.

"Thea was right, you really do know how to kick ass," Oliver said, looking around Maya to see the guy laying on the floor.

"Yeah well, after Scott I was always on edge so I learnt karate, and judo. I wanted to be prepared," Maya rambled on. Oliver smiled at how alike she and Felicity were.

"You're really good, but you could do with more training," Oliver said, putting a hand on her back and steering her towards the basement entrance.

"I know, I've been thinking of getting a membership somewhere, but I don't really wanna spend money," Maya said.

"Well I know some people who can train you, free of charge," Oliver said, as they entered the foundry.

"Who?"

"Me, and Diggle. Maybe even Roy," Oliver said. The lights came on and Maya's jaw dropped (almost to the ground).

"You're the Arrow," she whispered, eyes wide and mouth hanging open.

Okay, so Maya now knows as well. I hope you guys liked the Thea & Maya bonding. I enjoyed writing that. If it wasn't obvious who I'm pairing Maya up with, it's…..TOMMY! He got the most votes, and I really like Tommy so… yeah.
Hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a review, it's really appreciate it!
