I came home to see Oliver and Dad off. It was only supposed to be Dad but Oliver asked to go. I watched the Gambit leave and then I went home with Mom. We talked and a week later we got a call. Robert and Oliver Queen are claimed dead. The news said and Mom looked at me.

"No." I shook my head and she fell down in pain. I hugged her. "My baby boy." She cried out. Thea my little sister came in. "Mom? What's wrong?" She asked. "Ollie's dead." I said and she started crying. I went over and hugged her.

After that night I found out Sara my girlfriend was on the boat. I dropped all of my classes and joined the League of Assassins. They found me. I joined and I knew I wouldn't turn away.

They taught me everything in a year. I told my family I was in the military. I couldn't be in that house looking at those pictures. The pain it's causing me to have.

Nyssa Al Ghul looked Familiar I couldn't place it. After the second year ended I quit it. I gave up my life but I wanted my family back. Somehow I knew they wouldn't let me go easy.

I put my armor and swords in my bag. "You can't leave." Nyssa said. "I have a little sister and a mother at home who probably think I was stupid for running away. But I found hope here. That hope has kept me alive. If I must kill someone or fight someone before I leave. I'll do it. Just please let me go." I said putting the bag over my shoulder.

I was given a ride back home with a promise to come back someday. I couldn't figure out why they didn't kill me right then and there. The two Assassins on the plane stood. "Of course." I said hitting one and started fighting both.

I kicked one back and hit the other in the face. The one in front of my pulled out his sword as did the one behind me. "Your gonna had to lunge at me." I said as they did I grabbed the roof and pulled myself up making them stab each other. "Forgive and have mercy upon them. Excuse them and pardon them. Make honorable their reception. Protect them from the punishment of the grave and the torment of fire." I said and sat down.

I slept the rest of the way there and put on something more to my mothers liking. A dress with long sleeves hiding my scars from the League. I went into an old clock tower that was owned by Queen Consolidated. I put my weapons and armor down.

I saw my little sister across the room when I walked in. "Eliza!" She screamed. She hugged me and then I saw Walter and Mom. "Mom. Walter." I said hugging them. "Are you staying this time?" Mom asked. "Until I get board with you." I said and Mom and Thea led me to the kitchen.

"We need to catch up." I told Thea. "Eliza I can't understand why you left. You left before the funeral." Thea said making Mom and Walter look at Thea. "I'm sorry. I couldn't watch us bury empty caskets. For my brother. For my father or Sara. It was too hard. I felt like I lost everything." I said and put my napkin on the table. "I will see you soon. Goodnight." I said and left. I hated bringing up Sara or Ollie.

That night I made my armor into a suit. I ripped and sewed. I put my old computers from computer class up and set up a police scanner. I stitched my own retractable knifes into my wrist cuffs and I slipped swords into pockets I made for them.

I got my first alert at the docks. I attached my cuffs and jumped across buildings. I was at the docks and saw drugs. They were passing them to each other and talking about them.

I dropped down knocking them both out and hitting a button for a voice modulator. "Freeze!" A police man said behind me. "Maybe." I said and ran off. The officer didn't shoot.

The officer took the guys in the car downtown with the drugs. I watched and left. I start building something with my old chemistry lab. It all turned into some sticky mess and then I might have accidentally drank it instead of my water. Let's just say I won't be tired while at work.

I woke up and I felt so sick. I threw up several times and then saw myself in a mirror my eyes shined. I shook it off and brushed my teeth. I went to the house to talk to mom. "Mom. I'm here. Is there something you want to talk about?" I asked and she was sitting with Walter. "Why do I feel like I'm gonna get in to trouble?" I asked sitting down.

"Eliza. Walter and I are getting Married." Mom said and I went wide eyed. "I.. Um.. Congratulations. If your happy mom. I'm happy." I said hugging her making her cry. "I am sweetie. I am." She said.

I went upstairs. I was headed for my room and I went into Ollie's old room. I picked up his picture and walked around. "I miss you Ollie. I wish you were here." I put the picture down and went into my old room. I grabbed some old dresses and went home. I changed into comfy clothes and went to the gym. I worked out and was twice as fast and strong. I don't know how or why but it made me feel great.

I went to the tower to see if I could heal but it was no use. Pain and blood everywhere. I wished I didn't cut myself after that. I wrapped my arm and started doodling. What I was left with was a Phoenix.
