The reporter "Television Anchorman: Oliver Queen is alive. The Starling City resident was found by fishermen in the North China sea 5 days ago, 5 years after he was missing and presumed dead following the accident at sea which claimed "The Queen's Gambit." Queen was a regular tabloid presence and a fixture at the Starling City club scene. Shortly before his disappearance, he was acquitted of assault charges stemming from a highly publicized drunken altercation with paparazzi. Queen is the son of Starling City billionaire Robert Queen, who was also on board but now officially confirmed as deceased. "

I drove my hand through my hair and sighed  "hijo de puta" ( Son of a bitch)

--

Reporter ""The Queen's Gambit" was last heard from more than 5 years ago. Mr. Queen has reportedly confirmed he was the only survivor of the accident that took the lives of 7 people, including Queen Founder Pedro Flores "

I aimed the knife at the board and threw it. I hit Bullseye!

My head spun around when i heard my phone ring. 

I walked to the table and put the other knife down. 

Then I looked at my phone and rolled my eyes "It's already over the news, T."

i hit the ignore button. 

Then I grabbed the knives again and aimed the first one at the bullseye. I took a deep breath and threw it. i opened my eyes and smirked. Bullseye.

I went to throw another knife but the doorbell stopped me.

Someone was ringing like crazy.

I rolled my eyes annoyed.

The ringing stopped and I breathed out relieved.

Then I walked downstairs and froze when I heard a voice call out "Hello?! Cat?!"

I recognized the voice.

My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing there "Oliver?"

He smiled, nervous "Hey, Cata"

I took a step back "I didn't believe the news at first ... but yet here you are"

He nodded and looked around "You finally finished building this place."

I nodded " 4 years ago"

Oliver looked at me confused "I heard you sold the mansion. "

I nodded.

Oliver "why did you sell it ?"

I crossed my arms over my chest, shrugging "why was i suppose to keep it? Did you really think I would actually keep the mansion were papa and I lived?"

Oliver "you grew up there"

I shook my head  "doesn't beat the fact that he died, leaving me alone in that big house"

He nodded.

I looked down, shaking my head "The memories of him, Robert...you...it felt like I was suffocating in there"

He looked down. 

Then i looked at him "how did you even get in here?"

Oliver "Thea's spare key"

I scoffed, amused "of course. Why did you take it?"

Oliver "would you've opened the door if the security cameras showed you that it's me?"

I just looked at him.

Oliver "see. Besides, I just needed to see you - hear your voice."

I shook my head.

Oliver "you're still as beautiful as the last time I saw you"

I shook my head, in tears "don't, Ollie, please. Do us both the favor, please"

He nodded "okay "

I nodded, crossing my arms over my chest "I guess papa didn't come back to life with you, did he?"

Oliver shook his head "I'm so sorry, Cata"

I nodded. 

Oliver "how has it been?"

I shook my head "No offense, Ollie, but you're the last person i wanna talk to "

Oliver nodded. 

I asked irritated and confused "What are you even doing here?"

Oliver "i want to apologize"

My eyebrows shot up amused "What?"

Oliver "i'm sorry, okay? It was my fault"

I raised an eyebrow "And what exactly was your fault?"

Oliver took a deep breath "Everything"

I nodded, scoffing "I guess, i fell under your spell just like every other girl did, didn't I?"

Oliver sighed "Cata, plea-"

I shook my head "No. I appreciate that after 5 years of disappearing your first thought was to come to me and apologize...but I don't wanna hear it"

Then I walked to the front door and opened it "and now leave."

He sighed "Cata-"

I shot him a look "leave, Oliver"

Oliver "Cata, please"

I breathed out, frustrated "Hell, Oliver, either you leave now or i'll kick you out myself because i am not doing this right now"

Oliver sighed and walked out of the door.





Night. At the Office.

I was sitting on a chair and watching the news on the monitor.

Television Anchorman "The suit alleges that Hunt committed multiple acts of fraud and theft against the city's underprivileged."

Me "Adam Hunt"

I looked at the letters and read "" Adam Hunt...his crimes go deeper than fraud and theft, but he's been able to bully, bribe, or kill anyone who's gotten into his way. " Well, time to pay him a visit"

Then I hacked the satellite and tried to find Hunt's whereabouts through GPS.

I smirked "found him"

Then I stood up and walked to the Mannequin that had my suit on "another day. Another job"

Hunt Multinational.

I slowly climbed down the stairwell to Hunt's office.

I stood outside his balcony and hid behind the wall. The door was open and i could hear him talking to someone. I grabbed a knife and slowly held the blade in front of the door. I could see Hunt talking to Detective Lance in the reflection. 

I raised an eyebrow, confused  "The police?"

Hunt" He was wearing a hood, a green hood, and he had a bow and arrow. What, you don't believe me? That maniac put two of my men in the hospital. "

Detective Lance "Well, thanks for your statement. We'll put out an APB on..."

He looked at an arrow " Robin Hood? "

Hunt " Hey, pal. I'm not some grocer who got taken for his register. I go to the front of the line. Now he said he would be back here by 10 P.M. Make sure you're here first. You can coordinate with Mr. Drakon, my new head of security."

I growled "Damn it"

Then i left.

Who the hell is doing my job now?
