Coach Queen
Disclaimer: NO. MORE. IDEAS. If I get sent one more, its NOT making it to the review page. Actually start reviewing the chapters themselves instead of just constantly throwing out idea after idea. And lastly, Earth-1 Ronnie is NOT coming back except in flashbacks, trips to the past, or the Speed Force using his image, its time to accept that. If he was going to come back, he already would have. But if he does actually come back, I'll apologize and eat a hat. (Or a cake that looks like a hat)
Now, this is an idea I've had kicking around in my head for awhile now where around August after season 1 (with Tommy not dying and Moira avoiding jail time thanks to ARGUS having reached out to her years ago thanks to a little time manipulation) Oliver ends up being forced to coach one of the worst inner city Soccer teams in Starling's history.
Summary: Out of all the things Oliver could have been doing, being forced to coach one of the worst inner city Soccer teams in history was not one of them.
Starling City, Washington Papp Field August 20th, 2013
"Good afternoon, as some of you may or may not know, I am Oliver Queen. Not only that, but I am your new Coach." A position he had in no way wanted whatsoever since this team had caused 10 different Coaches to quit the team while cussing up a storm, getting drunker then Hell, or pulling out their hair, or all three.
But God and his mother refused to budge on the matter no matter how hard he tried to get out of it. Much to the amusement of his sister, Digg, Walter, Laurel, and Tommy. Laurel had even told him her father had laughed his ass off at the whole thing and told her to make sure she took pictures and video of the whole thing. If only to get a bucket of laughs out of the whole thing. Needless to say, Oliver hadn't been too thrilled about that. Nor was he too thrilled with the text from Felicity showing her amusement at the idea. Of course she often didn't text or call him much these days after having left the team since her original purpose for joining had been fulfilled and her mother had fallen ill in recent times back in Vegas. He frowned when none of the players of 'The Omegas' so much as looked at him. Instead focusing on this or that. In the stands, an amused Tommy leaned in to his very much now ex-girlfriend, Laurel.
"Yeah, for such a badass vigilante, he's not doin' so well with those kids."
Laurel at first hadn't been too thrilled with Ollie for lying about his other life, but gradually came to forgive and accept it. Even arguing him, Digg, and one Ted Grant into furthering her training so she could join him in the field. Something her father definitely DID NOT know about and nor had Oliver been too happy either but eventually gave in to her argument. This had also brought Ted out of his retirement too despite the fact Oliver didn't think the much older man would be able to handle it. Only to prove just how wrong he was! "Give it time, Tommy, this is his first meeting with his team after all." Chided the lawyer and budding vigilante.
While Tommy had made it out of CNRI, he had developed a need for a cane thanks to an angry Glades citizen looking for revenge against daddy dearest. And with him being the only Merlyn available as far as the eye could see, he'd had the unfortunate luck to end up with a limp. Thankfully, a lot of the ire from the city, especially in the Glades had faded and he wasn't a target anymore. The Omegas that his best friend and apparent vigilante had been forced to take over as Coach had been done as Moira felt her baby boy needed to get out in the Sun more. Along with dealing with people who weren't likely to hurt him for trying to end their despicable ways. Plus, Moira felt if anybody could out class this team of rowdy punks, it was her son. Why they hadn't been disbanded yet was anybody's guess but some believed the vaunted Soccer Mom Society was behind it. Whom were a far more powerful force then even the mythical League of Assassins were reported to be. "Right, right. But how much longer do ya think it'll be before he goes Hood on them?"
"I would hope it doesn't come to that."
"That it doesn't come to what?" Thea asked as she and her boyfriend, Roy Harper sat next to the two as Oliver tried to gain the attention of his new team.
"That Ollie doesn't do something drastic with his new team!" Laurel told her quickly with something of a forced smile.
Roy had a brief reminder of a talk he'd had with Thea's sister and it'd been the only time the guy had ever scared the Hell out of him. But it was enough to stick with him. "Like sharpening knives in front of them?"
This got him looks from the three. "What? He did it with me when he had that talk with me about intentions towards Thea. And you'd think with all I've experienced in the Glades that it wouldn't effect me but it did." He told them with a small shudder.
Causing the trio to look at one another. "Yeah… Let's hope he doesn't do that as that might cause a lot of issues." Muttered Thea while deciding a very important discussion was going to be had with her brother!
Meanwhile, out on the field, Oliver had decided that what he was doing wasn't working and nodded towards two men. Who quickly brought out a Soccer Ball Machine and causing many to wonder what he was going to do with it. Thanking the two as they left, he got behind the machine and turned it on and spoke in a growly voice that was close to his Hood persona! "YOUR ATTENTION SPANS..."
The raising of his voice and how menacing it sounded actually succeeded in grabbing his wayward players' attention. "Oh boy..." Snickered Tommy.
As this was gonna be good! "HAVE FAILED THIS SOCCER FIELD!"
And with that, Oliver unleashed Soccer ball Hell on his team! Earning him a mix of cheers and boos for his actions as the Omegas panicked! He may have had this forced on him, but he was not about to fail now!
Author's Notes: So I know I've been inactive all week and I apologize for that. My uncle passed on Monday morning and by Tuesday, I had ended up with a bad cold that kept me in bed a lot. Plus, some health issues my mom had developed due to much stress where my uncle's funeral is concerned has been on my mind as well. And I would love to do a full on story with this idea but my knowledge of Soccer is rather limited so that would be an issue. I got the 'Omegas' name from the 'Omega Men', a team of aliens in DC Comics. Figured it'd be fun to make use of it for this.
