We were headed to the car with Diggle when Tommy came rushing out the house, "Don't think you're leaving without me!"
"Are you coming?" Oli asked.
"My girlfriend and my best friend are getting legally resurrected from the dead, I wouldn't miss it for the world!" He replied. Of course he was coming.
With that we all got in the car and started for court.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There was a storm, and the boat went down," Oli recited, we had been rehearsing what we would say since returning from the island.
"We were the only survivors, our father didn't make it, aswell as none of the crew or any other passengers." I added. Not Sara.
"We spent so many days on that life raft that we thought we had died to, until we saw the island." Oli continued, in all honesty it was the truth, we just skimmed over some finer details.
"When we saw the island, we knew we had to survive. For dad," I could see mum was in tears behind us.
"That thought was what kept us going and alive for those five years." Oli finished on that.
"Your honour, we're here to discuss Oliver and Alisha Queen's disappearance after the sinking of the 'Queens Gambit' five years ago. Unfortunately we will not be requesting that the declaration of death filed for the petitioners father Robert Queen be reopended, the Queen family is only entitled to one miracle I'm afraid." Our lawyer states after a few seconds of silence, and soon after we are allowed to leave. Unfortunately, mum wants us to go to the family office straight away, "Everyone is dying to see you there!" Mum says.
"Mum, that was a bit..." Oli doesn't know how to state that we really don't want to go, so I finish for him. "A little bit heavier than we were expecting it to be, could we do that tomorrow, please?" I can see Mum glance at Walter for his input, "It is understandable, tomorrow will be fine" he replies for Mum while she nods.
"Thank you." Walter and mum head out the building were our trial was held.
"Last week you two couldn't wait to go to the offices?" Tommy says.
"Tommy, we just spent 5 years away from civilisation, we weren't exactly thinking straight." Oli replies. As we are walking through the building we run into Laurel. The tension in the air could cut knives.
"...Hi Laurel," Oli speaks first to break the silence.
"What are you doing here?" She asks.
"Oh. Ah. They were bringing us back from the dead, legally speaking." He replies with a forced chuckle. The silence is horrible so I decide to speak. "What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Work." She says.
"More like the DA's work," her friend from the office replies with a small laugh. Oli deicdes to introduce himself to the other of two girls beside Laurel, "Hi, I'm Oliver Queen."
"Emily Nosenti," the girl replies.
"Oliver just got back from five years on an island with his sister, before that he was cheating on me with my sister. He was with her when she died. And last week he told me to stay away from him. It was really good advice." Laurel says with enough venom to kill 10 grown men. We can all tell that was a massive blow on Oli.
"We should really get going," I say and lead Oli away. I know Oli didn't mean to hurt her like that last week, unfortunately he has.
"It was nice to meet you," Emily says as we walk away

As we exit the building the usual gathering of newsreporters and cameramen are outside surrounding a man in a suit.
"Mr. Summers!" They were calling.
"I don't know what I did to deserve a witch hunt from Laurel Lance and her bosses at CNR, but I can tell you this: I'm an honest businessman and I will fight this till my last dime and breath. That's all I have to say, Thank you." After finishing his speech and heading inside, he walked past us and making the crowd notice we were outside.
"Mr. Queen! Ms. Queen!"
"What happened inside!"
"Give us some comments about the island!"
Each person had a different question to ask.
"Everybody please step back." Diggle was struggling to keep the crowds as bay, which served perfectly for us. Just as Diggle closed the car door behind us, and was trying to make his way through the crowds to the other door to let Tommy in, I managed to slip into the front seat and speed off without either of them.

In the car the radio was on playing the court case between Laurel and Martin Summers. Laurel was accusing him of taking in bribes from the Chinese triad and selling illegal drugs, when Emily Nosenti's father Victor found out and confronted his Mr. Summers, he was killed without hesitation. By having friends in the DA office he has managed to stay hidden.

When we arrive at our warehouse, we start our training. Rope climb. Salmon ladder. Target practice.
Martin Summers is another man on our list who's needs to be brought to justice. Oil and I plan out how the night will run, and when the sun starts it decent we suit up and gather our things.

It's a short ride to the harbour where Martin Summers is set up. We have packed light weapon wise tonight as not many will be needed, tonight is only a warning anyways.
Martin is walking alongside several of his bodyguards along the dock. Oli and I are quick to get into position and prepare ourselves, I angle one of my knives against a light signalling to Oli I'm ready, he sends a signal back and jumps into plain sight. His green hood covers his face, but in the dark he looks fully black. He takes out two of the body guards with a punch and spinning kick just as I jump out and take out the remaining three with knives and a kick. Martin Summers stands stunned as we finish off.
"W-what do you want? I have lots of money, j-just at my office, it's near here." He stutters trying to form words.
"Martin Summers," Oli says with his voice changer on.
"You have failed this city," I finish for him.
A puzzled look comes across his face, just as he darts off. Right into the trap we set up, in a matter of seconds he is hanging upside down from one of the nearby cranes bound by the ankles.
"Tomorrow you will confess to what you have done in court and personally apologise to Emily Nosenti," I state.
"Or what?" He is brave enough to ask. Oli is quick to string his bow and let fly one of his arrows whizzing next to Martin Summer's face, just scratching his cheek. A droplet of blood drizzles down his face.
"Or next time I won't miss." Oli says. With that we are quick to go, leaving him strung up by his feet. Tonight was another success.

We arrive back home near to midnight, a light is on in the study.
"Mum?" I am careful to speak quietly to avoid waking everyone up.
"I don't know what to do with you two. I specially hire a bodyguard, yet you just run right off? To a place you won't say, for all I know you could out there killing people!" She is crying when she talks.
"Mum, I'm so sorry. It's just coming back from the island has been hard." Oli replies.
"I know, but I don't understand why you can't just stay with Diggle. Do you not like him? Must I hire someone else? Is that it?" She says.
"No Diggle is fine, we just like to be alone every once in a while." I respond.
"But it's always! I just don't know what to do, when you guys finally feel like you could trust, or just talk to someone I'll be waiting." With that she leaves. Oli and We bid each other goodnight and head off to shower then bed.
It's so hard to try talk to people, they don't understand what we had to go through on the island. It was worse than anything hell could've thrown at us, how can we explain to people what we went through when they honestly wouldn't believe us. Surely how different we are now explains it was no normal island retreat?
