The Arrow

Abandoned House
Scarlet's POV

" We've come bearing gifts," Wesley announces, I close the door behind us, and Tommy looks up from the phone we got him.

" Those gifts better be food." He says as we place the bags on a table. He joins us. " So what's going on in the outside world?" He asks as he takes out the food from the bag.

" Moira was found not guilty, so now she can finally be free and spend time with her children," Wesley says. Tommy starts to eat, offering us some. Which we turn down. " Christmas is soon which means that someone's birthday is coming up," Wesley smirks turning to me. I roll my eyes.

" Are you finally going to celebrate it?" Tommy questions. I don't celebrate my birthday, that's why no one ever mentions it. Bad things have always happened on my birthdays. My mom died on it, Sophia died on it, and my first love broke my heart on it. The only good thing was that we move to Starling on it and that's about it.

" Nope."

"Yes." Wesley and I look at each other.

" No," I say firmly.

" Why not?" He asks. I raise an eyebrow. " Scarlet c'mon, the last time you celebrated it was years ago, just this year."

" Wes, throw a party if you want, attend one, I don't care just as long as that party has nothing to do with me."

" Tommy, back me up here." Wesley turns to him. He looks between the two of us, chewing his waffle.

" Look, Wes, it is Scarlet's birthday if she doesn't want a party, then maybe it's for the best." He says I give him a thankful smile.

" I don't care about the party," Wesley says.

" Then what's bothering you?" I ask.

" The fact that you don't want anything. You don't want a gift, you don't want a party, you don't want a song, you don't even want a small gathering with your friends and family." He whines. I sigh.

" Look Wes-" I'm cut off by his ringtone. He takes out his phone.

" Give me a second, I have to take this." He walks away and answers the call. I sigh as I sit down.

" How's Laurel?" Tommy asks, I look up. His eyes held pain and a bit of hope. I shrug.

" I haven't seen her since court and well, we aren't really on the best of terms," I say. Tommy furrows his eyebrows.

" There was a break-in and Isabel wants me to go check on it because she doesn't trust Oliver or something." He gestures to me. " You wanna come?" I nod, before turning back to Tommy.

" Speaking of Oliver, we'll bring him by next time. If you need anything, text either of us okay?" Tommy nods and with one last goodbye, we were gone.

Queen Consolidated Warehouse.

" Great, who the hell are you?" We hear Lance's question. We enter. All we can see was Felicity, Diggle, Lance, Oliver, and some other dude. Another man was standing in front of them and Wesley and I couldn't see who it was, due to them having their back towards us, but it was pretty obvious that the question was targeted to him.
