"Good Evening Captain Lance!" Tommy greeted Quentin doing a salute gesture. As he descends from the stairs.

"Pft! Do I have to feel so honored that the main organizer of this event is waiting for me here at the stairs? And I guess good evening to you as well Mr.Merlyn. I thought there is a security around here?" Quentin sarcastically answered while he is checking around their surroundings.

"My...my.....Captain Lance, what's with your grumpy face? You look handsome, don't put it to waste this evening. Come on smile. Your tux looks good on you. I bet it's Laurel's choice. Ah! there is security, it's just that I want to fetch my future father-in-law. Don't you appreciate it?" Tommy responded with a sing-song voice and grinned. The Captain just snorted.

"Are we just gonna stay here or you will bring me to where your evil twin is?" Quentin asked Tommy as he raised his right eyebrow.

"Awwww Captain Lance. We are not evil anymore. We are called angels now. People change you know" Tommy responded in a playful voice and he lead the way upstairs to the Captain.

When they reached the Balcony, Quentin immediately spotted Oliver sitting comfortably and silently observing the people below, while enjoying his glass of wine.

"Who would have thought that the CEO of Queen Consolidated is here seeking solitude, drinking his glass of wine while watching the people below acting like a God, huh? Must be a wonderful feeling. Why don't you share it with me perhaps?".

Oliver knew who that voice belongs to. Hearing those sarcastic remarks, is the one and only Captain Quentin Lance. He is also aware like Tommy, that the guy is still not fond of him after all this years. Being Laurel's ex-boyfriend, cheated to her daughter to Sara. And almost killing her youngest through the Queen's Gambit. He knew everything is his fault. He is trying his best to redeem himself - by helping others as much as he can, not just only as a vigilante by night but as Oliver Jonas Queen. Sadly, there are people who are still stuck on how they see things about him in the past.

Media still sees him as a playboy dating different women every week. But he has changed. He never intended to do these things in the first place. He just acted through pressure since he is the Heir of a multi-billion dollar company. Oliver just wanted to be himself. By being himself is to love someone regardless of gender. Who does give a fuck about that.

He is very grateful for Laurel and Sara's forgiveness that sometimes he feels that he doesn't deserve it, even after everything that had happened between them. And he is very thankful to Sara for helping him out in protecting the City at night as the Canary.

He just wished for Captain Lance to see him as the Oliver Queen who returned after 5 years. A new man. And not the Oliver Queen in the past. That guy is a douchebag after all.

Oliver stood up upon hearing Captain Lance remarks to him and he reached out his right hand for a handshake.

"Good Evening Captain Lance. It's been a while. How are you?" he smiled warmly to Quentin.

Quentin, was taken aback at Oliver's greeting to him despite giving him sarcastic remarks. Did this person really changed? He doesn't even used his fake smile on me.

"I am good Mr.Queen. I hope you do too".

"Of course Captain. Let's have a seat".

Oliver offered Quentin another spot on his table and Tommy also followed. He called their personal waiter to serve them another set of wine and appetizers.

*******Incoming Call Daddy*******

Quentin: Laurel, can you stay at my officers side while they receive their awards?
Laurel: Why? Where are you Daddy? I am still with them and their families.
Quentin: I have some important business to attend to. I will be with you in an hour or two. Is that okay? I am still here at the Hall. In a secluded area. Don't worry I am still seeing what is happening on stage. Thank you Laurel.
Laurel: Okay Daddy. See you later then.
Quentin: Thank you sweetheart.
