Simulated World
Disclaimer: Takes place early season 1. Is kinda inspired by the simulation the Dominators put Oliver and the others through a season or two ago.
Summary: After Oliver is kidnapped and later found and recovered, his loved ones bare witness to a simulated world in his mind through a special device courtesy of the madman who took him.
"And there is no way to get him out of this thing!?" Asked a fretful Moira Queen to one Dr. Lamb.
As her beautiful baby boy had been kidnapped roughly a month after his return from the dead and no one had been able to find him for two months until an anonymous source revealed where he was. Unfortunately, it was evident that whoever had him had chosen to really screw with Oliver by sticking his mind in a simulated world. Why this was, no one had a clue and what was so far seen was rather alarming to his loved ones. Dr. Lamb just shook his head sadly. "Unfortunately not. As there is no telling if removing him from the machine will kill him."
Moira and Thea both made whimpering noises at that as neither wanted to lose Oliver! Not after just getting him back after thinking he was dead for so long! "So what's, what's with all the back and forth in the… The video?" Wondered Tommy while not liking the fact his best friend was being tortured and was evidently the Hood himself!
Lamb sighed as he looked at the screen. "Best as we can tell, he is experiencing flashbacks of his five years away. Its possible these experiences are shaping what he believes is currently his present some years after returning home. As it is, it appears this is evidently year five of his 'return' as there are 4 other dvds that are much like this one."
"My word." Murmured Walter as no doubt, this would put quite the toll on young Oliver if and once they were able to free him from this damnedable machine.
The fact that some man in a suit was evidently trying to break young Oliver in some way by getting him to admit some deep, dark secret related to killing was also rather alarming. "I WANTED TOO! AND I LIKED IT!" Roared out Oliver on the screen, shocking everyone currently in the room a great deal.
Laurel ran from the room and Thea was right behind her. Unable to handle things any further as Walter placed a hand on Moira's shoulder to provide any measure of comfort that he could. "Dr. Lamb, please do whatever you can to free my son of this… This travesty!" Pleaded Moira desperately.
She'd do whatever it took to save her son from this nightmare he was forced in. And whenever she found the one who was responsible… Only God would be able to save the individual as she would have no mercy. "You have my word, Mrs. Queen."
Author's Notes: Short, but I think it works.
