Author's note: Obviously I started writing this before My Name Is Oliver Queen like weeks before hand I didn't know (warning spoiler) Merlyn would become Ra's Al Ghul so just go with the flow and enjoy the story. Also I own none of the characters all name are properties of DC Comics


"My name is Oliver Queen. After five years in hell, I have come home with only one goal... to save my city. Now others have joined my crusade. To them, I am Oliver Queen. But to the rest of Starling City, I am someone else. I am something else."


Starling City

The Arrow, Speedy, and Arsenal had set out that night trying to find Merlyn to stop him from striking a deal with Count Vertigo but they ended up surrounded by Mirakuru monsters "Uh hey Ollie find some déjà vu here?" Speedy asks.

"This is impossible Slade is on Lian Yu. How is the Mirakuru being produces?" Arrow says.

"Uh guys we don't have any Mirakuru cure arrows what should we do?" Arsenal asks.

"RUN!" Arrow says they turn around to see they are completely surrounded.


Blüdhaven, New Jersey while this is happening

"C'mon Babs give up you won't win this one." Nightwing said beating up some Two Face thugs.

"Shouldn't you be focusing on the job and not Big Belly Burger Boy Wonder?" Oracle asks from the Clock Tower in downtown Blüdhaven.

"I told you it's the Dark Heir now." Dick retorted, "And it's called multitasking I'm hungry."

"Like he'll give you the cowl after he passes after what happened three years ago." Oracle said checking other cities she notices people wearing Deathstroke masks in Starling City, "Dick there are guys wearing Deathstroke masks probably hopped up on Mirakuru in Starling City."

"Isn't that 'The Arrow's' territory?" Dick asked wrapping up the thugs and getting on his motorcycle and headed to the Clock Tower,

"Yeah but he could use help." Oracle said, "Starling isn't that far from here we'll be there in like two hours."

"Babs we're going to—" Dick said walking in but when he saw she was gone there was a note:

"Gone to Starling City see you there.

XOXO- Barbara"

Dick chuckled and then sighed he said, "She knows me to well."


Starling City two hours later

"Are they still after us?" Speedy asked running with Arsenal and The Arrow.

"I don't know too scared to turn around and look." Arsenal said. A few seconds later a few more popped up in front of them

"Shit." The Arrow said stopping they were surrounded again off in the distance they heard a motorcycle engine they saw head lights a man moved from driving it to standing on the front of it he jumped off did a flip in midair winked at Speedy pulled out two Escrima sticks (modified by Wayne Enterprises) to have electrified tips and landed on a guy knocking him out all the thugs turned their attention to the guy in a black suit with a blue v shape across the chest and back, black mask, and a blue line going down each arm big enough to cover his middle and ring finger.

"RUN!" he shouted attacking the thugs once he made it to the same side he threw down a flash pellet it blinded the thugs when they could see again all four of the vigilantes were gone. A few blocks away the strange man was the first to speak, "Mr. Queen it's an honor to meet you I'm Nightwing I know Roy from the Titans."

"You do know I'm called The Arrow right?" Oliver asked.

"Really because you sound like you're ripping off my mentor and that's my job." Dick indicated to who his mentor was by pointing up with a hand on each side to indicate bat ears.

"So you're Dick Grayson the great leader Roy's told me about." Oliver said.

"Can we discuss this later?" Speedy asks, "Wait Dick Grayson that circus kid whose parents fell to their death?"

"Let's discuss this at base okay?" Oliver said.


Flashback: Gotham City three years ago in the Batcave

"Master Dick should be home any minute now." Alfred said.

"Thank God." Barbara said applying makeup she hadn't seen her own boyfriend in three months when the Batmobile pulled up Batman and Robin were arguing.

"I made one mistake ONE MISTAKE and your treating it like it's the end of the world or something!"

"The Joker got away so that means he's still at large, it might as well be you need to get your head on straight! You're not at Titans Tower where you call the shots, you're in Gotham where I make the rules get you head in sidekick mode!"

"You know what Bruce I'm eighteen I deserve more respect than what you're giving me I've been by your side for eight years of my life eight years that should earn me at least my own car!"

"Boys!" Barbara shouted, "What happened besides for the Joker getting away?"

"He threw his Batarang it missed the thug and hit me." Bruce explained showing the Bat-shaped lump it left.

"So accidents happen he overshot it." Barbara said.

"Thank you!" Dick shouted, "Someone understands." He said then kissed Barbara on the check.

"We need a plan to find Joker maybe we could use someone as bait." Batman looked at the two sidekicks, "I got it. Barbara will be walking alone near the fun—" Batman started but was cut off.

"Whoa wait a minute you want to use me as bait no way." Barbara said then looked at Dick for support.

"Batman… Babs and I are tired of this unintentional physical and verbal abuse and what you just suggested was the last straw." Dick said angrily.

"Be careful what you say next." Batman threatened.

Dick and Barbara looked at each other then looked Bruce straight in the face and shouted "We QUIT!" Dick and Barbara started to walk away Batman put a hand on each of them Dick turned around and with a hard right hook clobbered Batman then standing over him removed his mask let it fall onto Batman's cowl and then his yellow cape he balled it up and threw it down on Batman then he and Barbara stormed off.


Starling City, The Arrowcave

"Ever thought about changing the name maybe calling it "The Quiver" that would make a lot more sense." Dick said removing his mask and placing it on the nearest table then Felicity turned around.

"Who is this? She asked.

"Nightwing." Roy said as the archers put their bows up.

"Unbelievable you even have a rip off of Oracle you're ripping ME off!?" Just then there was a knock on the door leading to the Arrowcave Dick literally jumped up the stairs he opened the door to show Barbara Dick laughed, "I was just talking about you." He picked her up over his shoulder and folded the wheelchair and walked down unfolded the chair and placed her in it, "Guys meet Oracle my…um…fiancéish…she helps me out in Blüdhaven you know hacking and all that…huh…that sounds really familiar, doesn't it Oliver?"
