Meeting Parents/Siblings

Oliver Queen: While you were already a close friend of Thea, you and Moira had yet to meet each other. Thea set up a time at the Queen's Mansion for dinner and to say you were nervous was an understatement. Although Oliver reassured you that his mother is kindhearted, you couldn't help but feel scared, as Oliver is your first serious relationship. However, as soon as you walked into the mansion, Moira greeted you with a hug and smile, which calmed your nerves down to about 50%. The evening went on without a problem, and you were on your way to becoming her favorite child.

Felicity Smoak: Felicity and her parents don't have the best relationship, especially with her dad being a criminal and her mom out of the picture. You and Donna did meet when she unexpectedly came to visit Felicity. You and Felicity had just got back from a lunch date, when you walked into your apartment, only to see a blonde woman standing in your living room. Almost immediately, you stood in front of Felicity and demanded to know who the woman was. From behind you, Felicity stepped out and told you to relax, it was her mother. Frozen, you stood as she went to greet her mother, and after, Donna came up to you, observed you, and told Felicity that she liked you.

Thea Queen/Merlyn: Being from a lower status, you were a bit scared to be introduced to Thea's family. Thea is the best thing that ever happened to you and you didn't want to ruin it if she family didn't like you. Dressing up in your best outfit, nothing too flashy or casual, and made your way to the restaurant Thea picked out. Making your way to the table, you come to find that everyone had arrived and was waiting for you. Quickly apologizing, you leaned over, gave Thea a light kiss on the cheek, shook hands with Oliver, and kissed Moira's cheek. Spending the night with the Queen's wasn't a scary as you thought it would be.

Laurel Lance: After Laurel saved your life that night, you two quickly developed a friendship, which evolved into a relationship. Laurel was your savior and lifeline, so you thought it would be fit to meet her dad, Quentin Lance. Now, he is probably the most intimidating person you have ever seen and doesn't have the best track record with Laurel's past relationships. Exhibit A: Oliver Queen, but you wouldn't let that deter you from meeting him. Since Laurel invited him over for dinner, you decided to make your specialty dish, hoping to impress him and his appetite. Quentin didn't want to leave after tasting your food, but he made sure to pull you aside and give his nod of approval before he did.

John Diggle: Although John's family is deceased, the people he considers family are Team Arrow, and you were one of Oliver's best friends, so meeting the rest of the team didn't frighten you. Oliver and Diggle decided to let you meet Felicity first, seeing as she was too excited to meet you. The two of you became attached to the hip after, and she quickly introduced you to the team, where you got along with all of them.

Tommy Merlyn: Meeting Malcolm Merlyn was something that scared you to death. For the simple fact that he was intimidating, especially in the eyes. Something about him screamed evil intentions, but you had to look past that for Tommy, at least for now. Malcolm was...interesting to say the least when you met him. He was smiling throughout the entire conversation, and it kinda creeped you out a little, but Tommy quickly helped you out in the end.

Curtis Holt: Just like Diggle, Curtis considers Team Arrow his family. Curtis is a lovable person, so he wanted to introduce you to the team. Knowing his affiliation with the Green Arrow, you were a little hesitant to meet them. Not knowing if they were comfortable with a stranger knowing their identities, but Curtis reassured you that they already knew who you were. As Felicity did a background check on you, not that you or Curtis knows that.

Roy Harper: Roy doesn't like to talk about his family often. Growing up in the Glades, Roy had a hard childhood, especially with his parents not being in the picture. You didn't mention it or ask him about it, but always were open to him talking and telling you things about his family.

Sara Lance: After learning that Sara was the White Canary, she made you promise not to tell her dad, which wasn't a problem for you. Having met him before, on many occasions, you two had genuine respect for one another. However, you had never met Laurel, Sara's younger sister. Sara never really mentioned you to Laurel, so she didn't know who you were until she found you sitting with Felicity in the Arrow Cave. After a quick introduction with each other, Laurel loves you, especially after learning how you saved Sara's life.

Rene Ramirez: Zoe was Rene's entire world and once you came into his life, you became a part of that world. It was only right that you two meet. You invited them over for dinner, where you made Zoe's favorite dish, courtesy of Rene. She was very grateful that you thought of her and she was mesmerized by your ability to produce fire. She promised not to tell anyone, but she wanted you to show her more of your powers, which you were happy to.

Dinah Drake: Dinah never really talked about her life before getting her powers and you never pushed her to talk about it, cause you respected and cared too much about her to put her through the pain of remembering. Although she would rarely admit it, Team Arrow had become the closest thing she could call a family, and they were yours too.

Barry Allen: After learning about the death of Nora Allen, you made it your mission to help Barry get his dad out of prison. The first time you met Henry Allen, he was in prison, trapped behind a wall of glass. You could tell from first glance, that he had been through struggles and hardships. Being blamed for the death of your wife wasn't something you want on your conscience. Henry saw a spark in you and took a liking to you. After your first visit, you would come to visit him often, with or without Barry, just to get to know him better. Later on, Henry told you that Nora would have loved you, which warmed your heart. 

Ray Palmer: Although you never got the chance to meet his family, he sat down with you to tell you about them, when you asked him about them. You were curious about his childhood, and what inspired him to be who he is today. Ray needed time to collect his thoughts and what things he wanted to tell you about them, but in the end, you learned a lot about them, and he even showed you photographs of his parents and brother.
