         It had fallen to nighttime and Oliver had finished setting up his work station and a computer for me to do my classwork on at nights.   As I saw my dad pull out a wooden crate, i saw him pull out a green hood, a bow and a quiver of arrows. "Hey daddy, how is a bow, arrows and a hood have to do with you saving the city?" I asked him curiously. I had no clue on his full intentions were with him using a bow and arrows on people. "Well the hood goes with a suit I have that will hopefully conceal my identity as a vigilante." He replied, giving me a basic answer trying not to scare me about what he is going to do. He grabs his quiver and slings it on his back and grabs his bow, walking up to a wall with a ball launcher. He sets the ball launcher off and a load of tennis balls get flung from the basket and Oliver started to shoot arrows at the tennis balls. One by one, I would see an arrow puncturing a ball to the wall. He did miss a few tennis balls but he got majority of them. He took the arrows out of the tennis balls and the wall and puts them back in his quiver and I went back to my class work. He walks over to me and looks at me "Hey, Just so you are aware, Tommy did plan a 'Welcome back from the dead' party and I need you to stay here, but I will also be looking for Adam Hunt as well as get what I told him to do done." I nodded at him, understanding.

    I spent a few hours alone in the basement of the factory on my computer, learning within my academic classes. I nearly nodded off when I heard him coming in from the night in his vigilante suit. "So, how'd it go?" I asked curiously. "Well, Adam Hunt was prepared for me to come so he had his goons and a few members of the SCPD there.." He said calmly, like it was nothing. "Are you ok daddy?" I asked worriedly. "Chrissy, I'm fine. You don't need your worry that much about me." He gave a soft chuckle while ruffling my hair. "Hehehe, sorry dad. It has been quite a bit since I last actually wanted to talk to you. Well when I saw you alive that night two years ago." She smiled at Oliver as she was happy to talk to him fully. "Well, I will be honest with you... I didn't expect for you to see me that night as I saw you when I first came back to Starling City, and well I saw that you weren't little." She smiled a bit as she looked up at him. "I am also proud that you kept our secret. That just shows me that I can trust you." He continued on. "Well, it was hard to lie to Grandma Moira about why I was there but I wanted honor the promise I made." Oliver patted my head lightly. "Good job, now you see the importance of why I have to lie, it's to protect you guys from being in my enemies crossfire. I don't want anything bad to happen to you or Thea or Tommy or Mom or Walter." He brings me in for a hug and I would hug him back. "Now things are starting to make sense here." Oliver nodded "Yes, but, there is more to what happened to me in the Island and Im going to tell you what I remember." I yawned and laid my head on his shoulder. "I'm sleepy, can we go home?" I asked sleepily. He nodded and picked me up and we left the factory back to the mansion.

     We arrived after an hour or so and he lifted me up and carried me inside where Moira met us near the door concerned. "Are you both ok?" She asked worriedly. "Yeah we're fine, mom. She's just tired so I brought her home to get tucked in." She sighed in relief and Oliver walks upstairs to my room, opened my door and tucks me into bed. "Good night sweetheart, we have a big day ahead of us." He lightly kissed my forehead then gets up. "Good night daddy, I love you." I slowly fell asleep and he left my room silently.
