Death Becomes Him
Part 2
Disclaimer: I oddly found myself drawn back to this idea. And if anyone is getting PMs from people wanting to do commissions or whatever, they are fake. Just saying in case anyone doesn't realize.
Summary: A look at how Oliver's doing since he became Death 3 centuries ago.
The being known as Death, hand picked by God Himself, once known as Oliver Jonas Queen and the vigilante known as the Green Arrow, sighed. Though the action wasn't one he needed to do since his body wasn't even alive ever since Crisis and being picked as the new Death. His station as Death for the past 3 centuries had worn on him in a way that being the Hood/Arrow/Green Arrow had never done. Even making the deathly pale and red eyed being long for the days of Lian Yu since even that felt great in comparison to being Death and ensuring Souls passed on. Oliver had even personally ensured the Souls of his family and friends had made it safely to the other side when each of their times came and each reunion had been heart breaking. Especially once they realized he couldn't cross over with them to Eternal Peace. And for the longest time, Oliver hadn't even realized his eyes had become pure red after he had cried himself out after God had placed his new burden on him and it'd given him a sense of self loathing for a time as well.
The realization only happening once he'd accidentally looked into a mirror since he for a long time to come, he'd avoided anything that would contain his reflection in it and no Soul would ever dare speak on the matter themselves. Oliver would also even personally guide the Souls of Heroes to their final resting place as well since he felt it was only appropriate that he did so considering he'd helped inspire a whole new generation of Heroes. Which led to many more generations of Heroes in the years after and while there were Descendants of the Queen bloodline still around to a certain extent, Oliver didn't feel much of an attachment towards them. Granted, there wasn't much at this point he had an attachment towards as it is and occasionally felt hate towards the one who'd put him in this position. "It appears Death has been felt in a new born Universe. The work is never ending." Oliver said aloud to no one atop an asteroid in close proximity to a Sun.
He'd vanish seconds later as the asteroid began to fall into the Sun's orbit and its particular properties would cause the Sun to flare up and wipe out the life of the planet it was near.
Author's Notes: I was going to include a scene with Death of the Endless but I decided not to.
