Hello everyone, how are you ? I've decided to stretch my writing muscles and have therefore, for the first time since doing another idea similar to this but Assassin Canarrow style, although that particular fic is on an indefinite hiatus, decided to write a full drama fic.

In it, the younger members of the future Team Arrow of the 2040 flashbacks, accompanied by Nora West-Allen (though she won't have a significant role and will only appear very rarely, though she'll have a slightly bigger role in the end), will seek to avert Star City's fall by traveling back in time and destroying both the Ninth Circle and Eden Corps so that they won't destroy the future.

I've also decided to divide this into 3 arcs, arc 1 focused on destroying the two terrorist groups, arc 2 focused on saving the Glades but without Star City's fall as the price, and then arc 3 showing the final battle against the Ninth Circle and Eden Corps followed by my own brief version of Crisis On Infinite Earths in order to secure the better future.

And now let's sit back and enjoy the ride.

Disclaimer: I don't own "Arrow" or Nora West-Allen.

July 2041, in a slightly wooded area outside of Star City.

Gathered together, and surrounded by dense foliage and with a huge time sphere in the center of a clearing, stood Mia Queen, the current Green Arrow of 2041, her half-brother William Clayton Queen, her boyfriend Conner Hawke, also known as John Diggle Jr., her close friend Zoe Ramirez, daughter of Rene Ramirez aka Wild Dog and currently the Black Canary 3.0 (though she shared the mantle with Earth 2 Laurel), and her good friend Nora West-Allen, Central City's current protector.

As for why they were gathered together, they were preparing for a very important mission, one that would be bigger than all of their previous missions put together. Their mission was to transport themselves to the past and to rewrite their futures into a more positive ones while stopping their enemies in the past before they could destroy their futures.

Mia and William on their parts had a personal stake in this mission, being angered and saddened by the fact that everything their family had worked and fought for came to naught in the first place, even though they had managed to turn things around in the present, and the Ninth Circle's and Eden Corps victory was an insult to their family's legacy.

Nora on her part only wanted to remove the serial killer Cicada from the timeline so that the villain wouldn't be around to terrorize her city and slaughter so many thousands of people. She however fully supported her friends mission as well.

"Alright everyone. Are we all clear on the plan ?", Mia asked her friends, looking at each of them.

"Yes we do sis", William answered. "Our mission is to restructure our future for the better by transporting ourselves back in time and stopping both the Ninth Circle and Eden Corps before they bring everything to an end."

"We also need to stop ARGUS from becoming corrupt in 2021 and unleashing genocide against the meta human population worldwide", Conner added from where he stood.

"And plus we need to help remove the criminal underworld's chokehold over the Glades so that they won't be manipulated by Eden Corps into handing their authority over to them" Zoe said with conviction, not appreciating how her home was taken advantage of and by people who cared nothing for them but only for power, while also manipulating her dad.

"As for me, I'll be headed to 2018 Central City in order to help my parents stop Cicada in the past before he becomes an even greater threat here in the future", Nora also added, while she privately also looked forward to officially meeting her parents, and also her father's team.

"Good. We all know what we need to do. And now let's go and save our future. And let it be known that our enemies will wish we had died in the future, not that they'll know where we came from, for they have failed Star City, Central City, and the world", Mia said with determination while channeling her dad at that moment. She and the rest of the group, except for Nora, then entered the Time Sphere, sat down inside of it, and Nora began super speeding around it, faster and faster, until a portal opened before it.

Once done, she used the velocity of her speed to lift the sphere and send it through the portal, following behind it, as they all were taken to the past.

To Be Continued

A/N What did everyone think of chapter 1 ?

While I enjoyed Season 7 and find it superior to Season 5 for the most part, I'm unhappy that the flashforwards, while entertaining, have everything Oliver, his family, and his team worked and sacrificed be thrown down the garbage and Miss Schwartz, with respect, should've given them, and Oliver especially, a happy ending.

Frankly, it's my personal opinion that the Season 7 finale would've been a perfect series finale in which Oliver retires, enjoys life and love with his family, and the other heroes continue his work and legacy in the city, but with the flashforwards done differently in that everything's pretty alright. I did like seeing Mia and William inherit the mantle of citywide protectors and thought it was a nice touch.

If anyone here however has no problem with the future going to crap and ruining what the heroes worked for, then I respect your beliefs and won't press the matter.

As for Mia's final words within this chapter, I was channeling Oliver's words when he said that his enemies will wish he'd died on the island. And I have her as the Green Arrow in here due to reading an online article saying that Nora, this season, mentioned their being a Green Arrow operating in 2049. Plus she was wearing the uniform in the Season 7 finale.

And now let's go to chapter 2.
