Long Live

The Queen!

Part 2

Disclaimer: Ha ha! That's right boys and girls! Finally giving this a second part! As always, I own nothing but what you see here!

Summary: Moira's done her research and even enlisted a friend or two to her cause, and now, she makes a move to take back what is rightfully her family's. One may have to pity Ray Palmer.

Though it had taken a bit of time with a lot of research, research that included enlisting Laurel Lance and her friend Joanna for Legal Counseling for that matter. Which hadn't been a very easy time for Laurel considering her sister's apparent second death and the older Lance sister's driven need to find the one responsible and make them pay. But nonetheless, she had been quite helpful in helping Moira Queen out with her goals. Among those proving that Ned Foster had tricked her and Oliver into thinking they needed more then two signatures to re-gain everything from Isabel. Lyla had been a bit helpful in that area when it came to both Ned and Slade. Granted, no one outside of Dr. Lamb, Laurel, Joanna, Walter, Lyla, and a few others even knew what was going on where Moira was concerned. Which is exactly how she wanted it to be as she wanted to surprise everyone. To say that the Queen Matriarch wasn't too high on Felicity Smoak for willingly going to work for Ray Palmer would be an understatement. As the woman thought the girl had no true loyalty to her son or Queen Consolidated if she was willingly choosing to work for that man after he had taken the company. A company that was not his by any means.

But the time had finally come for her to re-gain everything aside from Verdant and the Queen Manor since Thea had re-gained the club through some sort of means, means she figured Malcolm may have had something to do with. It pained Moira considerably to know that the Manor had been burnt to the ground sometime after Slade's Siege had occurred as the place most certainly had had a lot of memories in it. But she intended to have it re-built and looking better then ever before once everything was back in their proper place. "Alright, does anyone know why we're here?" Asked an African American board member as he looked around at the gathered group.

A group that included Oliver and Thea Queen, along with Walter Steele and Laurel Lance and some other girl with her for that matter. And oddly enough, someone who was keeping their face hidden much to his annoyance as this could be an unknown threat. My, he just might or might not be wrong there! "You didn't call for this?" Ray Palmer asked curiously.

"No."

"If you didn't, then who did?" Wondered Felicity curiously.

The hidden figure stood up, instantly grabbing their attention as Laurel fought to hold back a grin. "I called for it." Announced the hidden figure as she pulled back her hood, revealing the one and only Moira Dearden Queen.

Shocking the Hell out of many in the process! "MOM!" Screamed Thea in pure joy as she rushed around and hugged her mother.

Oliver could only sit where he was in pure shock at the sight of his mother in front of him. Wondering why the Hell he hadn't been told! "Mrs. Queen!" Eeped out Felicity.

"Ms. Smoak."

"Mom, what are you doing here!? You should be in a bed back at the hospital!" Thea told her in worry.

Her mother gave her a soft smile as she held her. "No need to worry sweetheart, I've been awake for several weeks now. Weeks I've been using to prepare I might add."

"Prepare for what?" Ray asked curiously.

Moira looked at him with a cold gaze that made him flinch and several board members suddenly had an idea of things. "To take back what YOU took from us, Mr. Palmer. As it was done so illegally, much like Isabel Rochev did when she had Ned Foster fool us into believing three signatures were needed in order to take back everything. Ned, I'm told, is now enjoying the hospitality of ARGUS for aiding two terrorists."

Laurel threw down a folder that had everything inside of it. "That's everything you guys need to know that what she's said is a hundred percent true." Informed Joanna.

Causing Ray, Felicity, and the first board member who'd spoken earlier to have a horrible feeling in their gut. "I expect you out of MY office in one hour, Mr. Palmer. I also expect the building's name to be changed BACK to 'Queen Consolidated' by tomorrow afternoon. And if anyone is displeased by all this, you are free to go as this company does not need anyone who will not work in its best interests."

"Mrs. Queen! I'm, I'm sure we can come to an agreement of some kind!" Ray burst out hopefully.

He was regarded with a cool look. "Prepare an argument and then bring it to Walter and I. If its to our liking, we can perhaps do business together. Am I understood?"

"Y-Yes ma'am." Gulped the man as he got the picture that arguing with her any further would do him no good at all whatsoever.

"Oh, and Ms. Smoak?" Moira said as she turned her attention to the Blonde IT girl.

"Y-Yes, Mrs. Queen?"

"You're fired."

"Damn! Momma Queen rockin' house, I like it!" Came a voice that shouldn't have been possible.

Moira turned to the source of it, one Sara Lance, who was smiling widely. "SARA!?" Shouted Oliver in surprise.

"Yep. Seems Death just doesn't like me, Ollie. Oh, and by the way? That little bit of advice I gave you before I had that accident? Which I forgive you for Thea as I know that wasn't you. But anyways! I wasn't talking about Felicity."

"You forgive me!? For what!? What accident!?" Wondered Thea in confusion.

Causing Sara to smile sadly at her. "I'll explain later, okay?"

"If you weren't talking about Felicity, who were you talking about?" Wondered a stunned Oliver.

"Laurel, duh. Who else would I have been talking about?"

Moira let out a contented sigh. Happy that her planning and a certain bit of negotiating she'd done with Ra's Al Ghul had worked out exactly as she had expected it too. A few years off her looks courtesy of his Lazarus Pit and bearing him a child in exchange for bringing back Sara and ensuring that her son wouldn't be able to get in the way of Malcom's long over due death. Life is good.

Even if a couple of folks didn't think so!

Author's Notes: Heh, hope this was worth the wait! As Moira arrived and raised some Hell! Some of this was actually inspired by Stand With Ward And Queen's 'Changing Tides' fic involving a little bit of dialogue and theories that were mentioned in it where Sara's advice and Ned Foster are concerned. R and R!
