A plot bunny I've been wanting to do for a while. I previously tried a similar story before but I didn't like the direction where it was heading.
This is inspired by some video games I've played, such as Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs and Batman: Arkham and MCU TV shows, such as Daredevil and Punisher and other Arrow stories I've read here and some elements of Arrow are going to be here, alongside with stuff from both Marvel and DC Comics books. Things are gonna seem quite vague at first but it will all be explained as this story progresses.
It is using a theory of Mia being Oliver/Sara child. Some elements of Season 1 are going to be there but there are gonna be some changes, such as, Malcolm did not plant a bomb on Gambit.
Disclaimer: I do not own DC Comics or the CW TV shows Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl or any other characters or elements pertaining to the mentioned franchises.
Late 2013, undisclosed location
Sara Lance and Laurel Lance were in an interrogation room as a young woman with golden brown hair, wearing a suit, entered with a folder as she sat across them as another man in a suit prepared a camera.
"So, Sara and Laurel Lances." The woman read from the file. "I'm glad that you both decided to cooperate. Before we get started, I should introduce myself. I'm agent Dinah Drake."
"Is this necessary? We've been through this already." Laurel asked. "We, Thea and Tommy have already told my Dad, the police and the FBI everything we know."
"There's nothing we can tell you that you can't find out from the news or the police." Sara added. "And we don't know where Ollie is. If we did, we would've told you already."
"We're not the classical law enforcement." Dinah said as Laurel and Sara considered. "We're a more… separated department, you might say. And while many people want to arrest Oliver Queen, all we want is to understand." Dinah sighed as she sat across them. "Look, I want to help Mr. Queen as much as both of you but I can't do that if I don't have your full cooperation. If anyone else than us find him, they'll either kill him on sight or put him in a supermax prison he can't get out of. This doesn't have to be ugly, if you don't make it so. So, why won't we get down to business? What can you tell me about Oliver Queen?"
"Asides from what you might have looked up in the tabloids and on the Internet before the Gambit?" Sara asked as Dinah nodded. Sara sighed and put her hands together, gathering her thoughts.
"Well…" Laurel sighed. "Before the Gambit, he was more like… a classical playboy, like Tommy."
"Irresponsible, drunk, screwing around with other women…" Sara quipped as both sisters smiled.
"…until I started dating him." Sara nodded.
"Which was…" Dinah looked at the file. "…six years ago. 2006. Is that correct?"
Sara nodded. "After that, well, I tried to make him be better. More responsible. His parents tried to push him into being the CEO of Queen Consolidated but it wasn't the direction Ollie wanted to go with. He felt like it didn't fill the void within him."
"So, he considered other job than CEO, I take it? What was it?" Dinah inquired.
Sara and Laurel looked at each other, considering. "I remember that he and Tommy used to talk about opening a nightclub."
Dinah wrote down some notes as she nodded. "Uh-huh. And after the Gambit, you did not notice any… drastic changes in his character, other than the obvious?"
"I mean… he was… different." Sara admitted.
"But we all had assumed it was PTSD. Maybe it was a part of it." Laurel supplied.
"But that's not all that was to it." Dinah said. "When did you find out he was the vigilante known as 'The Arrow'?"
"I didn't know for years after he returned." Laurel admitted.
"I kind of put it together right when he got back." Sara said. "But I honestly didn't have any problem with it until later."
"Which was… December 2012, almost a year ago." Dinah looked at the file. "When Mr. Queen and your daughter were in a car accident and she's been suffering from PTSD since then."
"That's when I saw the first time how… lost Ollie felt deep down." Sara said. "Sometimes I wish we could have helped him pull back from it."
December 2012, Starling General
Outside a hospital room, Sara wiped her wet cheeks as Laurel left for a coffee.
"How is she?" Oliver asked, having a bruised face.
"She's OK but she's… in shock, I think." Sara admitted. "Ollie, she's too afraid to talk to anyone but me. I think she might be having PTSD." Oliver sighed as she held his hand. "Ollie, please, don't. I know that look in your eyes. You want to find the people who did this. But if you do that, you'll drag us all into danger. Some things you can't fix."
"I'm not trying to fix anything, Sara. I want to make sure nothing like this happens again." Oliver snapped.
"Ollie, listen to yourself. What's done is done." Sara pleaded. "Just let it go, for me. I love you, no matter what, you know that but I don't want you to go down this road again. You don't need to do this to help us."
"I have to." Oliver retorted.
"Why does it have to be you?" Sara sniffed.
"Because no one else will." Oliver said as he walked away as Sara saw the anger in his eyes.
Late 2013, undisclosed location
"And that's when it all went to crap." Dinah said and Sara nodded.
"That's when I started to see how much lost he was." Sara said. "Sure, he did go overboard from time to time, when he stuck up for me, Laurel, Tommy or Thea but we never saw how much he had changed until later."
"Alright." Dinah sighed as she took down more notes and read from the file. "I assume he did tell you about his association with the likes of the daughter of the mob boss, Helena Bertinelli, an assassin Nyssa Raatko, the mercenary known as Slade Wilson and others?"
"Vaguely." Laurel said.
"Alright. Let's start from the beginning. Tell me about Oliver Queen." Dinah said. "What was he like back then?"
2007, Starling City
Sara was holding her pregnant stomach as she hugged Oliver. "Just come back to me safely." She kissed him.
"I will." Oliver nodded.
"Alright, hop onboard, Oliver. We're about to sail." Robert said.
Oliver and Robert were on the deck of the Gambit, sailing down the North China Sea.
"Are you alright, Oliver?" Robert asked.
"Yeah. I'm alright." Oliver nodded. "I'm just not sure if I'm ready for…"
"…being a father?" Robert laughed. "No one ever is the first time. But I'm sure you'll figure it out. If you have Sara's and Laurel's support. Have you decided for a name yet?"
"I was thinking Connor, if it was gonna be a boy. You know, like 'John Connor'?" Oliver asked and Robert shook his head in amusement.
"And if it's gonna be a girl?" Robert asked.
"Remember how you wanted to name Thea before Mom talked you out of it?" Oliver asked.
"Mia…" Robert smiled. "I liked that name."
Suddenly, thunder roared as storm came down upon them.
"That's not good." Oliver said.
"I think we should head back—"
Next thing Oliver knew, there was a wave that knocked him down and everything cut black as he hit his head.
So, what do you guys think? Is it good? Is it bad? Should I continue?
