Arrow 2070: The Future Is Now

Prologue

Author's note: recap of HVAVP and prelude to the story BTW I don't own the quote that begins the story. 

"Time moves in one direction, memory another. We are that strange species that constructs artifacts intended to counter the natural flow of forgetting."

William Gibson.

OUTER SPACE

An escape pod escaped from an ship that exploded shortly after the pod carrying Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak out of the ship.

Felicity had fired an speargun at an xenomorph hurling it toward the sun knowing the threat was over.

Oliver Queen breathing an sigh of relief looked into the main hub and to his shock saw an EMP bomb "NO!" Oliver yelled then it blew up disabling the equipment and the navigation system now the pod was heading down the earth to crash.

Felicity Smoak falling to the ground crawled over to the control deck while the pod began to enter earth's atmosphere.

"FELICITY LAND THE POD SAFELY!" Oliver yelled as the pod was moving very fast entering the earth toward an snowy area.

"OLIVER I'M ATTEMPTING TO SAFELY LAND THIS THING!" Felicity desperately trying to activate the controls.

The Pod was now at speed heading toward the mountain the pod reactivated its controls but too late.

The pod crashed into the mountains causing Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak to fall up and down the pod. Oliver grabbed Felicity with one arm to keep her safe. outside the pod rolled around the snow of the mountain damaging the outside of the pod.

Inside the pod Felicity hit her head knocking her unconscious on an seat as the pod crash landed on the mountain ground.

Oliver Queen in pain crawled to Felicity slowly but then he heard the sound of an avalanche coming their way at that moment he remembered Felicity Smoak telling him on that castle as his life with Felicity flashed before his eyes.

"You opened my heart in an way I didn't even know was possible"... Felicity had told Oliver in the castle.

I love you"... she professed her love for him.

Oliver Queen held Felicity Smoak as he and Felicity were covered in an mountain of snow freezing them.

The wind of Mt. Cadmius howled after what had happened with the pod crash and the resulting avalanche that buried Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak.

The name of the mountain they found us on was Mt. Cadmius.

After being in hell for five years I returned to my home to save my city But that was 52 years ago.

But an shocking turn of events one fateful day was the day I died.

My wife and I had been frozen in ice for 52 years. Not knowing that everything we knew was about to change forever.

The day that I was unfrozen alongside my wife I was reborn and given an second chance.

Soon I will wake up and my world will never be the same as it once was but my mission remains the same. To bring down those who will poison my home and to save my city.

My name is Oliver Queen.
