An Unexpected Visit

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. Thought this one up recently while at work and takes place a little while after Oliver got on that boat to leave Hong Kong.

Summary: The Queen mansion receives a surprising visitor in the form of Tatsu Yamashiro.

Tatsu knew it was a huge gamble to visit Oliver's family but she honestly felt he was being foolish to deny himself the chance to return home. He more then anyone else she knew of deserved to be back amongst those who cared about him and could help bring him back from the darkness he felt surrounded by. Though she knew his family would have trouble believing anything she said about Oliver being alive and she fortunately came prepared. Taking a deep breath, she then rang the doorbell and it wasn't long before the door was opened. "Oh, why hello there. How can I help you?" Asked the older woman in a maid's outfit.

"Yes, I was wondering if an audience with Mrs. Queen could be possible?"

"Come inside and wait in the foyer and I will see if she is willing. Might I inquire to what your name is however?"

"Tatsu Yamashiro." Replied the Japanese woman as she came inside.

"I see, thank you." Responded Raisa who gestured to a spot for the guest to wait at as she went to go about finding her employer.

It wasn't long before Moira Queen herself made an appearance with an African American man close behind as well. "Ah, hello there. Raisa told me you wished to speak with me?"

Tatsu nodded and stepped forward. "Yes Mrs. Queen, I have something very important to tell you."

Moira looked towards the man she was falling for and he gave a slight nod of encouragement to her. Looking back at her guest, she spoke up. "Very well, what is it?"

"I know you may find this hard to believe but I swear to you it is the truth." She paused, a little worried over the reaction she was no doubt sure to get. But steeled herself and began to speak again.

"Your son is alive."

A look of rage came across Moira's face and she walked right up to the Japanese woman and went to slap her right in the face. But she was unable to make the hit as Tatsu had easily caught it due to figuring it was likely to happen. "How dare you!? I WILL RIP EVERYTHING AWAY FROM YOU!" Screamed out the mother of two with tears threatening to well up in her eyes.

Tatsu looked right into her eyes as she held the woman's hand as her friend tried to make the effort to calm things down. "Trust me when I say that you are too late to do anything of the sort." She told Moira in a tone completely void of emotion.

The look in her eyes and the lack of emotion told Moira Queen that she was telling the truth and a part of her wondered what this woman could have lost. And as if seemingly reading her mind, the other woman began to speak again. "I held my son Akio in my arms as he died from a virus that was released by a mad man who thought himself his country's protector. I lost my husband soon afterwards when he walked away feeling empty after taking that mad man's life with a gun and your son was there for it all. And he is one of the only three who holds an urn that contains the ashes of my son. Something I felt he had every right to do considering what we all had gone through together thanks to another's interference."

Both Moira and Walter could hear the blunt honesty in the woman's voice and Moira's tears openly fell at the news that her beautiful baby boy was alive. But it made her wonder, if he's alive, then why isn't he here with this woman? "Where is Oliver then!?"

Here, Tatsu looked down for a moment before looking back up with a look of sadness on his face. "There was things that he did during his time away that made him feel he had no right to return home to his family. I tried to convince him of otherwise but he would not listen to me."

Hearing that made Moira and Walter wonder on Earth he could have possibly done that would make him think that. Both of them didn't want to think of anything really horrible as it wasn't the kind of thing Oliver 'Ollie' Queen would be capable of doing. But with whatever he's been through, there was no telling what he probably had to do to survive and that scared Moira greatly. Scared because it no doubt turned him into something he wasn't meant to be but she wouldn't ever fear her own son however. "Despite the darkness Oliver feels in his heart, he is a hero as far as I am concerned. A true pity that none may know about it however."

"I want to know." Declared Moira firmly and Tatsu nodded. She wouldn't go into extreme detail as there was certain things that should be left unspoken of but his actions would be known of by his mother.

"Very well, but where is his sister? I have a USB drive with a video of him I'm sure you both would like to see." That and it had been intended as a back up plan to get the mother to believe her.

Walter checked his watch and saw that young Thea's schooling was over for the day. "Hmm, school is out and no doubt young Thea is intending to enjoy some fun with her friends. But I'll phone her to let her know she is needed urgently here as soon as possible." Getting a nod from his lady love, he pulled out his cell phone and hit the call button as soon as he brought up her name.

"Let's go into the living room then." Moira said and the two went as Walter began to speak with Thea shortly afterwards. He nor the Queen ladies had any idea of what to expect on the USB drive but it was sure to be revealing for certain.

Author's Notes: Chyeah, Robbie Rob is back! Course I never really left, I just got absorbed into a crap ton of Teen Wolf fics. And there will be a follow up to this so no worries there. Course the USB drive thing was originally going to be used in this but I realized that probably wasn't gonna happen the longer I wrote. Anywho, R and R!
