Dorian sat on the edge of his mother's bed on his tablet he didn't know what he was looking for on the tablet but flicked through it nevertheless. The tablet belonged to his mother hence his snooping to find something anything to help. Dorian looked away from the tablet and faced his twin brother who sat on a chair swinging his feet which didn't reach the floor back and forth in boredom. Dorian then went back to the tablet going through pictures all the apps and whatever else he could find on there. His mother had always been cautious when giving him her tablet if not at all she had brought a tablet for him and his brother to share instead of using hers. She had pegged it down to it having all her work materials on there but Dorian couldn't help but think that there was always a very big secret his mother didn't want him going on her tablet. Finally coming to a picture he stopped it was a picture he had never seen his mother with three men that he had never seen before. Dorian studied the photo his mother was leaning, smiling next to a blonde hair blue eyed man with another bigger muscled man on her other side and a younger looking boy Dorian would say next to the man with big muscles.
"Look" Dorian held out the tablet showing his twin brother. Phoenix jumped down from his chair and walked towards his brother looking at the picture.
"So" he shrugged.
"So do you think this is our dad?" Dorian asked looked at the blue eyed man weirdly seeing his own and his brothers.
"Which one?" Phoenix asked as he threw his bouncing ball up in the air and caught it.
"Seriously" Dorian shrieked rubbing his face sometimes finding it hard to believe they were related. Dorian and Phoenix were both five years old and it had been just them and their mom from the beginning. "This man" Dorian pointed at the man with blonde hair.
"Maybe looks kind of like you" Phoenix said again as he continued playing with his ball.
"Like both of us" Dorian shook his head in disbelief of his brother's lack of common sense sometimes. "How do we find out who he is" Dorian said mostly to himself.
"Type mommy's name into google, google knows everything" Phoenix giggled.
"I don't think google will tell us who our dad is but I will type mommy's name" Dorian said as he typed his mother's name into googles search engine. A couple of searches of his mother's company came up and he couldn't find anything else really he kept searching and came out with nothing. "There is nothing" he shrugged in defeat.
"Where did mommy work before maybe they work together" Phoenix suggesting probably the most reasonable thing to ever leave his mouth.
"Queen Consolidated" Dorian said happily remembering his mother telling someone she worked with. As Dorian typed it into the search engine he was flooding with so many searches he clicked on to images and then saw the endless pictures of the man from the photo. "His name is Oliver Queen" Dorian grinned as a champion.
"Ok so what we find Oliver Queen?" Phoenix asked.
"Yes either that or they take us" Dorian got up and went to his mother's bag and pulled out her wallet he took out money from her purse and pocketed it he then saw a picture of the three of them in her wallet and he took it out and put in his pocket as well. He put the purse back and put his mom's tablet back in her bag.
"So where are we going?" Phoenix asked flicking his blonde hair to the side as his blue eyes sparkled and looked at his brother waiting for him.
"Starling City" Dorian said as he flopped onto the bed and kissed his mother's forehead. "Love you mommy" he said.
Phoenix watched his brother and although he was on board with doing this he started to feel nervous all of a sudden and was sad to be leaving his mom behind. Phoenix got onto the bed and leaned over his mother and kissed her forehead as well. "Love you mommy" he said sadly. He then went to his brother and looked at waiting for him to lead them.
"I'm going to miss mommy" Phoenix said quietly.
"Me too but we have to do this what if they split us" Dorian said referring to things he had read on line.
"Split us up? They wouldn't do that would they?"
"Maybe"
"Ok let's go" Phoenix said leaving the room with his brother following.
The two boys stood outside in the city not knowing what to do next and how they could get to Starling City. They were only five years old and although they looked exactly alike they were each their own individual and had different personalities. Dorian was a very smart boy but had a wild and energetic side as well whereas Phoenix was a constant energised five year old who was always laughing and making jokes. He always drove his mother crazy since the day he could walk by jumping and climbing all over places.
Dorian led his brother towards the bus station. "Excuse sir which bus goes to Starling City?" Dorian asked one of the drivers hanging about outside the station.
"32 little man you need to buy your ticket inside" the driver pointed and Dorian and Phoenix thanked him. Once the boys brought the tickets and were told the bus would depart in 20 minutes and that the journey from Coast City would be about 4 hours.
Dorian saw a shop near the station and decided that they needed to buy a few things for their journey. The boys went into the shop and started to look around. "We need water and maybe sandwiches" Dorian said always the logic and reasoning one he picked up an basket and walked deeper into the shop with his brother following. Dorian picked up three bottles of water thinking it is more than enough and also picked two sandwiches one for himself and one he knew his brother liked. As he started to walk towards the tills to pay when his brother placed some things into the basket.
"What are you doing?" Dorian quizzed.
"Soda and chips" Phoenix shook his head in confusion.
"I don't know if we have money this isn't us shopping with mommy"
"Let's see shall we" Phoenix shrugged dragging his brother to the tills. They paid and luckily still had money left over as they ran to bus 32 and took their seats.
The journey seemed to go on forever they ate and Dorian was glad they had chips as snacks. Although for the majority of the ride Phoenix slept through Dorian on the other hand had chosen to stay awake he thought of the possibility of meeting his father and couldn't wait. He wondered what his father was like and whether Phoenix or he were anything like each other.
Finally reaching Starling City they got off the bus and had no idea where to go from there. "Where to now boss?" Phoenix laughed.
"Queen Consolidated" Dorian said. They boys walked stopping and asking for direction every now and again, they kept getting looks as they walked the streets alone. Dorian and Phoenix were dressed very similar. As it was warm and during the summer both boys had opted for cargo shorts. Dorian had a stripy shirt on and Phoenix on the other hand had a q long sleeved shirt on with different coloured arms.
Finally reaching QC they entered and walked to the reception. Not quite reaching the desk to talk to the lady Phoenix got on all fours as Dorian stepped onto his brothers backed and managed to get his head just above the desk.
"How can I help you young man?" the pretty brunette behind the desk asked.
"Yes can we speak to Oliver Queen please?" Dorian asked smiling as he leaned his chin on his hands.
"I'm sorry Mr Queen is unavailable" the woman said trying to dismiss him.
"Please call him" Dorian pleaded.
"Sorry little boy but if you will excuse us we are extremely busy"
"Hey let me try" Phoenix called as Dorian got down and the boys changed places. "Hi" Phoenix said flashing the lady his best smile ever.
"You changed?" the woman looked at her in confusion.
"Please can we see Oliver Queen" he tilted his head flattering his eyes and pouting and tried to use the same thing he tried on his mother.
"Listen I am sorry …"
"Just try pweaseeee" he pouted again.
"I can't" the lady obviously felt flustered from the cuteness the little boy was giving off.
"Tell him his sons are here" Phoenix said.
"What?" The woman finally gave in and called up to Oliver Queen's Secretary she explained the situation as the boys went and sat the sofas in a small waiting area.
"Mr Queen" Sherry his secretary said walking into his office. Oliver sat with Diggle on the sofas going over a few things.
"Yes" Oliver looked up.
"Reception has just called saying your sons are here"
Oliver laughed as did Diggle but his secretary did not join in "What?" Sherry explained that two little boys came in claiming to be his sons.
"Send them up" Oliver said from hearing the information.
"Your sons something you ain't telling me man?" Diggle laughed.
"Diggle I can assure you after the Connor thing that I do not have any other children but please call Captain Lance from what Sherry said they are only 5 or 6 years old what they hell are 5 or 6 year olds doing out alone?" he waited for the boys to come in.
Dorian and Phoenix rode the elevator all the way to the top floor excitedly. Phoenix walked closer to the lift buttons. "Don't" Dorian yelled.
Phoenix hung his head in disappointment really wanting to click all the buttons. Finally the doors opened they were greeted by an old lady who walked them towards an office. Once inside Oliver turned to face them he was taken aback as no one had mentioned that they were twins, identical twins and the only thing that separated the two apart was their shirts.
Diggle stared at the two boys and a lightbulb went off in his head, he didn't say anything but hangs his head low trying to make sense of everything.
"Hi I'm Oliver how can I help you two" Oliver said unable to hide the smile on his face because the two were just so adorably cute.
"Hi I'm Dorian and this is Phoenix" Dorian said as Phoenix waved causing Oliver to chuckle.
"You told the receptionists that I'm your … dad" Oliver raised his eyebrow.
"Yes well we think you are" Dorian said.
"You said he is" Phoenix snapped.
"No I didn't I said I think"
"Yes you did why would we come all this way for a think" Phoenix held his hands up.
Before Dorian could say anything Diggle interrupted them. "Alright you two" he laughed waiting for Oliver to figure it out.
"Where is your mom?" Oliver asked he couldn't think of a better way to ask so he could determine whether or not they were his.
Dorian and Phoenix looked at each other and in unison said "Home".
"Oliver" Diggle said. "Do you really need to ask" he said now in frustration.
Oliver was thinking the same as Diggle the moment the boys walked in but he couldn't allow himself to think about that, that part of his life he had shut out and not let his brain dare to even go there and think about that.
"Who is your mom?" he felt stupid for asking the question as he already knew the answer and anger started to boil inside of him.
"Felicity Smoak" the boys said in unison.
Oliver walked round his desk and took a seat he couldn't breathe he tugged at his tie finally taking it off. She had left pregnant with his children no wonder she fled as quickly as he could. He clenched his fists tightly and pounded on his desk making both the boys jump in surprise. Oliver quickly regretted scaring them.
"Sorry" he apologised he walked over to them "I … why … your mom … Felicity" Oliver could not but a sentence together.
Dorian dug into his pocket and pulled out a picture of the three of them together. They boys were on the baseball team and the three of them had war paint on and were grinning in the photo. Dorian handed the photo to Oliver and it immediately all became real as he clasped the photo in his hands.
"Why would your mom just allow you to come here on your own" he tried not to growl anger filling him because the two boys were out on their own.
"She doesn't know we are here" Phoenix added and Oliver could tell the boy was studying him.
"So you ran away?" Oliver curved his eyebrow.
"No" they said in unison and Oliver and Diggle shared a look.
"Mommy had an accident she is sleeping in the hospital" Dorian said and Oliver's heart sunk.
"Yeah they said they have to take us to stay with people we do not know and Dorian said they might separate us" Phoenix continued.
Oliver rubbed his face what was he going to do.
Minutes later the two boys sat on the couch in Oliver's office as he called the hospital were Felicity was at, they told him that children services would need to come out and visit him as his name was not on the boy's certificate to find out whether or not they were his. If they weren't the boys would be taken and if they were they wanted to arrange something where Oliver could take care of them until Felicity woke up.
Diggle had gone out and gotten some food that the boys quickly dived into. Oliver watched from a distance he had broken Felicity's heart and she had finally left him. But she had left with something of his, his twin boys. Oliver huffed not knowing what to do he walked in their direction when Laurel walked through the door. "Hi" she smiled quickly kissing him on the lips. "Who are these two cuties? She asked and the boys immediately tensed looking up at her when they saw them kiss.
Oliver pulled Laurel to the side and told her everything. "But they may not be yours I mean … they look like you but …" Laurel was getting upset it happened again first with Connor now with them. She and Oliver had just gotten back together and had been dating for about 9 months and Oliver had proposed. Or more like Laurel had found a ring put it on and told everyone they were engaged and Oliver didn't have it in his heart to say no to her.
"I know I am sorry Laurel" Oliver said sincerely all he kept doing was hurting her still all he kept doing was hurting everyone around him.
"Alright guys you are coming home with me tonight until we figure something out" Oliver said. He would take them home and wait for children services to arrive so he could take the next step. Whatever the outcome although he knew deep in his heart of heart, his soul that the twins were his either way they were Felicity's and he would love them no matter what they were a part of her.
