Please review. This is my first fan fiction, and I would like some opinions.
Keep in mind Thea looks the same as she did in the show. But she is Robert and Moira's daughter.
The Return
Starling City, Washington
Anchorman: "The Queen Brothers are alive. Sean and Oliver Queen were found by a group of fishermen in the North China Sea 7 days ago. The Queen Brothers have been missing and presumed dead for 5 years following the sinking of "The Queen's Gambit" during a fierce storm. Sean Queen had made international recognition for winning two Olympic Gold Medals in mixed martial arts, he also received recognition as a 6-time national champion and 12-time Washington State champion in mixed martial arts. While Oliver Queen was a regular news fixture and presence in the clubs of Starling City. Before the sinking Oliver was arrested for assaulting a paparazzi while intoxicated, but queen was acquitted of all charges. The Queen Brothers are the sons of multi-billionaire Robert Queen the 3rd, who was also onboard the Gambit. The Brothers have confirmed that their father is deceased, as well as Sara Lance, miss Lance was on the Gambit before it sank. Details of their deaths have yet to be revealed."
Starling City General Hospital
Sean and Oliver stared out their hospital room window at Starling City. Their thoughts were chaotic. They ranged from what happened to them to the fact they had come home with a mission. A mission that if successful will correct a good number of wrongs. The brothers knew they had a lot of work to do, and they needed to get started.
Moira Queen walked out of the elevator toward her son's room. Outside their room Doctor Olivia Turner was waiting. Doctor Turner turned to Moira,
Doctor Turner: "Mrs. Queen good morning. I'm Doctor Olivia Turner, I examined your sons." Moira: "How are they?" Doctor Turner: "I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you it's not good. 20% of Oliver's body is covered in scar tissue. He had second-degree burns on his arms and a third-degree burn on his lower back. His x-rays have revealed 12 fractures that haven't healed correctly."
Moira: "What about Sean?" Doctor Turner: "His injuries are identical, but to a far greater extent. Which is odd given his brother's injuries. 40% of Sean's body is covered in scar tissue. He has third-degree burns on his back, arms, and legs. His x-rays show 24 fractures that haven't healed correctly."
Moira: "Has either of them spoken about what happened to them? Doctor Turner: "No, they have barely spoken a word since they have arrived. I just want to warn you Mrs. Queen, the sons you lost may not be the ones that where found." Moira: "Thank you Dr. Turner".
Moira stepped into the room. Sean and Oliver turned to the door. "Mom", they said in unison. "Sean!", "Oliver!", Moira exclaimed. She walked over to her sons and engulfed them in a group hug. Moira: "Oh, my sons. My wonderful sons it is great to see both of you." Sean: "It's great to see you to." Oliver: "Yes, it is." Moira: "Doctor Turner has cleared you two and we can leave in an hour. Sean, I charged your cellphone and brought it." Sean: "Thank you mom. I appreciate it."
An hour and half later
Laurel's apartment building
The Queen family limo stopped outside the apartment building. Oliver sighed and started to get out of the limo when Sean stopped him. Sean: "Oliver why don't your let me handle this?" Oliver: "Why?" Sean: "Because since Laurel believes you cheated on her with Sara, she's more likely to hear me out then you. No offense." Oliver wanted to argue but he saw the logic in Sean's words. Sean left the limo and went to Laurel's apartment.
Laurel's apartment- afternoon
Laurel is sitting on her couch reading a book when she heard a knock on the door. She opens the door and sees Sean standing there. She doesn't what to think or feel when she sees him. Having heard the news yesterday and didn't know how to react. Sean: "Hello Laurel it's been a long time." She just glares at him. "Okay you have every reason to be mad at Oliver and myself, but please just hear me out first before you pass judgment. May I come in please?"
Laurel stood aside and let Sean into her apartment. Sean looked around. It hasn't changed much in five years. Laurel: "Why are you here Sean?" Sean: "I'm here on Oliver's behalf. I figured you were more likely to hear me out instead of him?" With fire in her eyes. Laurel: "So he sent you to apologize for cheating on me with my sister and getting her killed by taking her on the Gambit?" "That's why I am here. Laurel Oliver didn't invite Sara on the Yacht. I did, you see Sara and I had been dating for almost 2 years prior to that." Laurel laughed, "You expect me to believe that my sister was dating you?" Sean looked offended and took out his cellphone and handed it to Laurel. "I have a file in there that's titled Sara."
Laurel opened the phone and looked at the file. She saw photos of Sara and Sean at baseball games, when they went skiing, and when they went dancing at a club in Seattle. She looked at a video that was dated two days before the Gambit set sail. In the video Sean presented Sara a Claddagh Ring (which Sean made himself from pure silver at the forge where the keys are made) when he asked her to marry him. Sara excepted his proposal and they agreed to tie the not after Sara graduated college. They then proceeded to kiss and tear each other's clothes. That's when Laurel closed the phone and looked a Sean. Sean saw on Laurel's face shock, but in her eyes, he saw guilt and pain.
Laurel realized that everything Sean said was true. She realized that not only was her rage and hatred towards Oliver and Sara was misplaced. But she had slept with Tommy Merlyn purely out of misplaced revenge. She never had felt so guilty in her entire life. When she and Oliver broke up, he had worked hard for five months to prove himself worthy of her again. After they got back together, he had continued to prove himself. When she found out that Sara was on the yacht, she immediately assumed that Oliver was cheating on her. Not once in the last 5 years did, she consider that Sara could have been there with Sean.
Sean looked at Laurel, "You know I am surprised your mother didn't say anything". Laurel looked at Sean, "What are you talking about?" in shock. "Your mom thought the same thing when she caught Sara packing her thing to go on the Gambit. Only when she saw me did she realize that she was mistaken. Sara and I told her everything, but we wrongfully assumed that she would say anything if you or your dad found out Sara was there." Laurel's anger by that point had flared up at her mother. Wonder why didn't her mother say something? Why did she let her believe that Sara and Oliver had betrayed her when she knew otherwise?
Sean: "Look Laurel, it seems to me that you and your dad need to have a serious chat with your mom. When you are ready to talk come by the mansion. You, Oliver, and I can talk and then I will leave the two of you to talk. Okay?" Laurel nodded okay and Sean let himself out.
A.N. I will try to update by this weekend. By the way the particle accelerator explosion in central city happened a year ago. The significance of that will be explained later. Chapter 4 is when the keys will explained.
