Oliver's Secret Life

Part 2

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. Laurel never died as she survived her injuries and Digg's still off serving for his country as the whole framed malarkey never happened.

Summary: Its been several months since the defeat of Damien Darhk and with the rise of her husband's new team, Samantha decides to give one of the members a new home.

After Oliver had ended up becoming the Mayor of Star City, Samantha had realized that the likelyhood of his coming back to Central was unlikely to happen anytime soon. And so, she moved herself and William to Star so that they could be much closer to Oliver. Something he himself was pretty damned happy about since it meant he wouldn't have to take long trips anymore to see his family. Or sleep on Thea and Roy's couch in their Loft rather then staying in a hotel room or down in the Bunker. If there was one thing Samantha was happy about when it came to Oliver being the Mayor, it meant that Roy no longer had to be a fugitive on the run since her husband and his friends had managed to come up with a story believable enough to get him cleared of any charges and officially declare him alive and well. Allowing for him to be with those he cared about and even become something of an awesomely cool uncle to William too.

Samantha was also happy that with Roy having his freedom, it allowed him to be Arsenal again so that it would help prevent Oliver from being on his own out in the field since everyone else had left for one reason or another aside from Felicity. Who she had a strong feeling that told her the Blonde really didn't like her cause she's with Oliver and she isn't. But she couldn't find it in herself to really care all that much however. After Laurel had survived her arrow stabbing courtesy of Damien Darhk, she had decided to hang up the Black Canary mantle for awhile in order to focus on getting better and as well as her new District Attorney position. Though she did do a live broadcast as the Black Canary to let folks know that it hadn't been her causing problems but another who was lost in grief. Something that thankfully kept the mantle of the Canary from being ruined thanks to Evelyn Sharp's actions. Thea had chosen to leave the team in order to find a bit of normalcy again after everything she'd been through.

That and the fear of the darkness dragging her deeply into its clutches. Diggle had left to re-join the Military due to his guilt over his involvement in his brother's death. And once Felicity and Roy, and even Samantha herself to a degree finally got Oliver worn down on his stance of not recruiting a new team, he thankfully brought in some new help in the form of Curtis Holt, Evelyn Sharp in a surprising twist, Rene Ramirez, and later, Rory Regan. Each who could bring something to the table with the right kind of training to help it along. Laurel even had a hand in helping train Evelyn as well. Which Samantha thought was a nice thing to do despite what the young girl had nearly done to the Canary mantle. And while things were a bit rough, the new team gradually began to grow together and even causing Oliver to full on pout once he learned that William had become a huge fan of Ragman's awesome powers and wanted an action figure of him! Something that had made Rory himself blush over and for Rene to make jokes about.

The teasing from Evelyn herself had been nice to see too as it meant the young girl was loosening up a bit around them. Which was a good thing after the horrible things that had happened with her family back when Darhk had been active. And once Samantha learned of just where exactly the girl was staying at, she decided a word with Oliver was in order. As that young girl did not need to be sleeping down in that Bunker of his! Said word would happen right after dinner one night while he was doing dishes. A rarity in and of itself considering his Mayor and Green Arrow duties! "Oliver?" Began the woman.

"Hmm?" Asked the archer as he turned his head to her.

"We need to talk."

"Oh, that doesn't sound good."

The mild glare he got made him do a lip zipping motion and she nodded in approval. "We need to talk about Evelyn, sweetheart."

This got a mildly confused look from him. "What about her? She's doing fine as far as I know. Although, I strangely feel like I need to have a word with Rory about any intentions he might have with her." A line of thinking he had even mentioned to Quentin recently and was slightly annoyed when the man had laughed his ass off over the whole thing!

Claiming that he was finally learning what its like to be a father of a teenaged girl. Even if he's not actually her father! His words had made the archer pale considerably and then put Rory through some extra hard training much to his confusion. Even Roy was confused by it til Quentin explained it to him. And then causing him to have a good laugh over it. "Mmm, Rory aside, she's not doing fine. I mean, how can she be when she's practically living down in that Bunker of yours?"

"She's, she's not living down there."

Samantha gave him a look that told him she wasn't buying that at all. "Babe, you might not realize this, but that girl does live down there. Hell, she hauled ass from the orphanage on day one for God's sake! She needs a proper home and that Bunker is not it!" Argued the woman passionately.

And making him start to think about what had just been said and a short time later making his eyes widen in realization. "How… How the Hell did I not notice that?"

His wife gave him a small smile and a head tilt. "Well, you have been pretty busy lately juggling about four different roles lately."

"Yeah, good point." Replied Oliver with a sigh.

"So what do you want me to do about it then? See if one of the others will let her stay with them?" Laurel he knew probably would be willing to do it since she had taken something of a shine to her after she joined the team.

Even if Evelyn at first had been a little scared that the older woman would do something in revenge for nearly tarnishing the Canary mantle. "No, silly, I want her to come and live with us."

"Come and… Are, are you serious?"

"Yes! I mean, its not like we don't have the room." Argued Samantha.

As heck, being the Mayor had its perks after all! Well, that and a few well funded secret accounts of theirs anyway. "Sam… I, I doubt she's gonna be all that willing to come and live with us. I mean… She might think its us taking pity on her and that's the last thing I want her to think! Plus, what about William?"

"I hardly doubt she'll see it as pity. And as for William? Have you not noticed the crush he has on her!? He's not gonna have one single problem with her being here."

"Am I going to hafta have a word with him about her too?" Asked Oliver seriously and then blinking at how ridiculous that made himself sound!

Causing his wife to smile widely in amusement. "Ohh no. Rory yes, but not our son. Its really cute though with how fatherly protective like you're getting where she's concerned though." Samantha said in amusement and making him stick his tongue out at her in retaliation.

She only shook her head at that with that smile still in place. Oliver then sighed in defeat. "Well, I know when I'm beaten. As time has taught me well where arguments with you are concerned."

Nodding happily in victory, Samantha walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him as he wrapped his arms around her lower back. The two enjoying themselves for a moment before ending the kiss. "Good boy." She told him happily and making him chuckle.

"Does this mean you'll wear that special set of lingerie tonight then?" Asked the man hopefully.

A grin came from her as she walked away with a sway to her hips. "Maybe, maybe not." Came the teasing response and then quickly ran off with a loud squeal as he came after her.

As one does not tease the mighty Green Arrow and get away with it lightly! Some time later would see Evelyn herself at the Queen residence and looking shocked, tearful, and thankful once Samantha and Oliver to an extent offered her a permanent place to stay with them. And expressing that this was not a pity act very firmly. And once she saw that they were dead serious, she quickly hugged the both of them as she cried. Causing both parents to hug her at the same time as she cried. A whole lot of speculation would erupt thanks to Susan Williams a little while after Evelyn moved in with them once she was officially adopted by them and became Evelyn Sharp-Queen much to William's immense joy once he realized it was way cooler to have her as a sister! Susan's speculations were not kind but the expanded family dealt with it the best they could. Though it was safe to say that Samantha was not a fan of the woman's at all. Especially with how she also tried to throw herself at Oliver despite the fact he's a happily married man.

Author's Notes: Ended up coming up with this idea yesterday while thinking up more potential fics related to Evelyn and Evelyn and Rory. R and R!
