Fantasy Made Reality

Disclaimer: And here we are with the 100th chapter! WHOO! Takes place after our fair heroes save the world from the Dominators and a certain jerk gets sent packing by Nate and Kara. Also, Olicity and Nate/Amaya never happened.

Summary: Oliver and friends are stunned by what happens next during the big celebration party.


Everyone was in high spirits as they got the party started to celebrate their victory over the Dominators and the small bonus victory that included sending a certain jerk packing for trying to shut them down and perhaps try and lock them away because of their knowledge. Even Thea, along with the new team members were present for the fun despite her weariness after having gone through the virtual reality the Dominators had put her and the others through. A reality where where her parents, Laurel, and Tommy was alive. Not to mention Tommy being a doctor in Chicago of all things! Which made her wonder if perhaps in one of those alternate Earths that are apparently around if that was a thing. A line of thought she tried not to think too much about considering the ache it left in her chest over Tommy, her parents, and Laurel. "Hey, you okay?" Came Oliver's voice as he came up to her in with a concerned look on his face.

She looked up at him. "Yeah, just… Thinking."

"Too much of that is bad for the health." Mick Rory said in between bites of his food nearby and getting an eyeroll from Thea.

Amaya helpfully dragged her boyfriend away before he did something to annoy the girl and she hurt him for it. "Thinking about mom and dad?" Oliver asked concernedly.

Having a pretty good feeling that damned virtual world was still on his little sister's mind a great deal. A nod came from his sister as she hugged herself, prompting him to wrap an arm around her in comfort. "Yeah… About them, about Laurel, about Tommy. What ifs..."

"I get that. But none of them would want you to continually think about it. They would want you to be happy." He told her gently and soothingly.

"I know that in my head, but in my heart? That's a completely different story."

Oliver nodded at that. Knowing just how that could be himself. "Understandable, but one day you'll get there. I have faith in you."

Looking up at him, Thea gave him a small smile. "You know, you're not half bad at this big brother thing." She told him somewhat teasingly and causing him to chuckle.

"Thank you, I do try. Now, against my better judgement as a big brother, if you head to Jump City for a well needed and deserved vacation, you might find Roy there." Admitted the man and added in an address.

Causing Thea to look at him in shock. "How do you know that?"

Oliver just shrugged at her with a grin on his lips. "I mighta saw something on the news about an archer in red working with a few people a few weeks ago and reached out to him. Apparently found himself teaming up with a few people there and its been a thing ever since."

"Wow. Just might have to check that out then." Decided the young woman seriously.

Feeling very happy about this bit of news as she had missed Roy so damned much. "Just don't run off with Susan and get married or anything, alright? While she might, and I really stress that word here, be a step up from both Helena and Isabel, I still don't like the relationship you have with the Dragon Lady."

Her brother just rolled his eyes. "I'll try my best not to do that. Now if it was Laurel on the other hand..."

Grins were had between the two. Both knowing exactly what would be likely to happen were she still alive. Especially considering the fact he had tried to get virtual Laurel to run off with him and get married. Their moment of levity was broken by Cisco's sudden shouting. "Whoa, hello!"

Forcing the two to look his and the others' way and being rather stunned by the sight of electricity surging in one particular spot. "I didn't do it!" Called out Mick so that no one would get the dumb idea to blame him for whatever was going on.

"I hope its not the Dominators trying something as a last ditch thing." Worried Kara with a frown on her face while tensing up in preparation for a potential fight or worse.

Noticing that Barry was doing the same as well. The electricity soon grew brighter with its light and momentarily blinding everyone. Soon, it was gone and when everyone uncovered their eyes, shock was evident on all their faces. "Neat trick." Commented Mick.

As somehow, several people had been left behind by the weird show. "M-Mom!?" Got out Thea stunnedly.

"Sweetheart!" Called out one Moira Queen as she started to rush over to her daughter.

Happy to see her after that bit of strangeness from before! Robert soon joined her and Thea ended up fainting as this was too much for her. "Okay… I was prepping for surgery so could someone please tell me what the Hell is going on!?" Called out Tommy Merlyn in confusion and some concern for Thea.

"Ollie!" Came Laurel's voice as she was still in that wedding dress from the virtual world.

She then rushed to him and hugged him tightly to her while he stood there in complete shock. "Last I knew, dead people didn't just appear out of electricity." Stated Rene with a certainty about him.

"The trip down the Rabbit Hole just keeps getting weirder." Remarked Diggle with a shake of the head.

And wondering if perhaps they were all drugged. "Dead? What do you mean by that?" Tommy asked in confusion.

"Exactly what I'm wondering." Voiced Robert. As he was very much alive thank you very much!

No one was quite sure what to say after that. As how do you explain to four people that their all dead and that they are nothing more then virtual people of those individuals?


Author's Notes: 100 chapters baby! Bit different then I had intended but I think this works better. A nod to Ward and Queen in this where Roy's concerned since one of his fics currently features Roy forming a team of his own. Many thanks to everyone who has followed, favorited, and reviewed this fic! It has been appreciated and I hope to continue to provide more content in this fic for you in the future!
