Reviews for A Helping Hand In Times Of Need

I would love to see this become a full story with this chapter serving as a "Helena sees the Light" sort of thing, that keeps her from going psycho on her father and leaving Oliver in favor of her own crusade.

I really hope this continues. This sort of AU would be interesting to follow as it’s got Oliver and Helena helping others as themselves, not as the Hood and Huntress.

It really would be cool to see more, and it’s inspired me to break out S1 & 2 to try and write something about these two. Probably involve the Bratva in it somehow.

Honestly this is great, and while I can’t see Oliver’s and Helena’s relationship become long lasting I can see how this event could alter their story. I’d love to see more of this and how this could really alter not only Oliver’s story but Helena’s as well.
For Helena seeing the effects up close of what happens to people could really make her hesitate on starting a gang war to stop her father and make her look for another way to stop him, as Oliver will try to show her before the disastrous date. And then if she decides to stay on team arrow she would have to work on earning Diggles trust
And as for Oliver’s story, it could show him that the city needs far more help than he realized, that it needs more than just a guy in a hood taking down the corrupt elite and your random bank robbers. It could really make Oliver stop and consider that he may just be one man trying to get rid of the main corruption of the city, but it could show that he could branch out and stop more than just the elite and whoever shows up on the news. That he could not only help the city as the hood but as Oliver Queen as well. Starting his journey of becoming the Green Arrow far earlier.
Idk these were just some ideas that popped in my head after reading through this story :)
I also like how this would open Moira’s eyes as well, giving people a glimpse of what going through the undertaking would really entail.
and If you decide to make it so the building collapsing wasn’t a freak accident maybe you could have the culprit get caught by the police, and he confesses that this wasn’t the first building he destroyed. Maybe the first could be an old abandoned warehouse before Oliver returned, and the second could have been someone’s empty home a few weeks ago, a way to prove to himself he could destroy someone’s home before he moved onto a larger target. That could open up ways for Oliver to blame himself, consider that if he looked into it perhaps he could have prevented something like this from happening.
Sorry for the long review, I just meant to write a few things down but once I got going I guess I just couldn’t stop the ideas from forming in my head :P as you can probably tell I really enjoyed this and hope to see more!

omg, wow. please continue...
Elemental Hero Heaven chapter 1 . 8/20/2018
I'd say continue it, a lot of the time, we don't see Ollie out of the suit and seeing the reactions of the other characters would be good.
Only reviewer chapter 1 . 8/19/2018
Not sure, but it would be interesting to identify the girl in the throw forward.
lakomadt chapter 1 . 8/19/2018
It's very good I like how it shows Oliver not in his suit helping people, maybe when Oliver sees it on tv he would finally see that he is a hero. And I am the first to review/comment on this fic awesome!

Definitely continue! You don't get many new season 1 fics anymore.
