One Change

Disclaimer: This was unintentionally inspired through some chatting in the Lauriver Discord. Takes place during 'Elseworlds'.

Summary: What if, during the battle with Amazo, Oliver accidentally sped into the past and changed one particular event without meaning too?

As he sped towards where the others were with the Amazo not far behind him thanks to its copied speed, Oliver found himself relishing in the whole experience of moving incredibly fast once again even though he knew he shouldn't have. Which is why he started to go even faster without his necessarily realizing it thanks to his very limited experience with Super Speed. His eyes widened as a blue portal opened and before he could so much as stop himself, sped through it. His eyes remained wide as he traveled through whatever it was he was traveling through and saw images of his life through the years. Oliver found himself wondering if Barry had ever experienced this before and if so, why he hadn't of said anything. And then, Oliver found himself surrounded by buildings at night but thanks to what he'd just experienced, wasn't recognizing anything.

But he didn't have time to deal with that as a terrified scream pierced the air and he snapped to attention and sped off towards the source. Thanks to his speed, he saw a dark haired woman being threatened by a man at gun point and his eyes narrowed. Not on my watch!

Quickly, Oliver made short work of the gun man. "I… I don't know how you did that, but thank you." Came the woman's voice that for some reason, felt vaguely familiar to Oliver.

Turning to her, the archer turned Speedster froze at the sight of the woman in front of him before forcing himself out of it and looked down at the downed gun man. Gears turned in his head as his eyes widened greatly as he gave his attention back to the woman in front of him. "Ruh-Rebecca Merlyn!?"

For Oliver now realized he hadn't just traveled back in time, but that he had just prevented Rebecca Merlyn's death at the hands of Daniel Brickwell. Rebecca stared at him in surprise, clearly not having expected him to know her name and before she could even say anything, he suddenly vanished. Something Oliver himself was none too pleased about once he was brought to some strange silver platform with a black sea of stars surrounding them. "Hello, Oliver Queen." Came a male's voice.

Instantly, Oliver turned towards the source to see a tall African American man with some sort of armored outfit. "Your actions today were entirely unexpected and because of that, a great deal has changed." Declared the man dead seriously.

Leaving Oliver to just stare at the man, unsure of what to say to that.

Author's Notes: Ooh… A cliffhanger!
