The Hero In the Dark

Parents

Olivia fell to the ground and rolled out. Standing to her feet she looked around noticing the rain fall and the dark. Looking around she took the lights of the city. She recognized these light as star city not central eel here she had come from. If she wasn't in the right time then at least she was somewhere she knew.

BANG!! Olivia ducked to the ground seeing two men both clearly doing something in dark alleyways that they shouldn't have. She ducked behind a dumpster as they continued to fire at her. As they got closer it allowed her to jump up wrapping her legs around his waist and twist around so she could pin him to the ground. The second man started to go after her only he was jumped by someone in dark clothes.

The man under Olivia pushed her off making her fall to the ground for a second only for her to jumped right back up and drop kick him. A quick punch after they landed on the ground the man was out.

"Looks like you can take care of yourself." Olivia turned to the man in the hood. The hood that she grew up seeing and even worn behind the wearers back.

"I had a good teacher." Taking a deep breath she felt the burning in her side. Looking down putting her hand to her side she removed it seeing the blood. She was hit. She didn't miss that bullet at all.

She watched as he stepped closer. Olivia stepped back ignoring the pain that now came through clearly."What year is it?"

"What? Are you kidding-"

"What year is it?!"

"2018." Olivier answered. Still looking at the girl confused as she had a look of realizing something bad. The rain grew stronger yet he and the girl didn't notice.

"Shit..." she ran her fingers through her hair. Something had taken her mind off the wound again.

Olivia needed to go back after she and her brother where either conceived or even born. Coming back before can risk her and her brother not even being born.

The pain in her side became more prominent as she put her arms back down."I need to get you to a hospital. Your hurt."

"No." Olivia looked around. She could stand here with her father, who had no idea who she was, with out a plan but not for long or she could run and wait. Go back to the drawing board and figure it out. She always figures it out.

So...She turned and ran. Ignoring the sharp and burning pain in her side. She ran as fast as she could once rounding the corner she threw her back pack and forced herself to become unseen. Hiding in a place that at least was well enough Oliver wouldn't notice the floating clothes.

Oliver ran after her. But rounded the corner finding nothing. The girl had vanished. While she had worried him being injured she made him wonder. She acted strange and didn't stop in her tracks that the Green Arrow had saved her like many other normal people in the city had. Then again...she didn't seem very normal.

She had taken out a guy over twice her size and fairly easily despite the injury. He listened to the sound of Felicity's voice in his ear. "Is everything okay Oliver?"

"It's fine...there was just...never mind. I'm on my way back." Oliver did as said. He started making his way back to the base. Ready to tell Felicity and Dig about his night.

Olivia took a deep breath and let go of her invisibility. She grabbed her bag and threw it over her good side. While dripping wet she found her way around the familiar city till she reached the drugstore and got supplies to patch herself up. At least till she had something more permanent.

Of course, she needed to get out of the rain and get some sleep. Close by she found an old cheap motel. She broke into a room thanks to her skills she taught herself. Her parents forgot the genius side of her and just had to learn everything no matter the moral. Once inside she dropped her bag. Seeing her father, and seeing her father a little younger than what she was used to was nerve racking. Knowing the person he talk to on the other end of the intercoms was her mother made her heart hurt. The last time she saw both of them, both had been dead. The image was stuck in her mind and would be forever.

She got the hard part over with alcohol and stitches, patching herself up ignoring the blood that had now stained a lot more of her favorite pants. Once she finished she laid down on the bed. Looking up to the ceiling with a light that flickered just a little.

Cisco sent her back further than anticipated. In a way, she knew it was her own fault seeing as Cisco still wasn't good at going back in time as he was just going to other universes, he didn't know he could go through time until recently. Her favorite was Kara's universe. And she's always excited to say she met an alien with amazing powers. She was super sweet but had a lot of things in common with her when it came to her personal life away from Supergirl.

Aside from her life as Olivia Queen and trying to find her brother so many things have happened to her, no one would guess what she held back. Not even her father who'd held plenty of his own hardships.

She knew if she said anything about the future and about her being their daughter coming back purely just to save her sibling and save them she could ruin everything. She could disappear for existence. Looking at the near clock she found the date. August of 2018. Her birthday, in a way, is in a month and a half.she and her brother were born a month early. So February. She had just over 4 months till she could continue with her plan. But longer until the first attempts. There's no way we real attempts when they where kids and then an actual kidnaping when they were pre-teens was just...chance. It had to be the same people. No matter what, there was no doing anything until she and her brother are conceived.

Sitting up, hissing at the pain that shot through her she went to her bag. She opened the small zipper and pulled out her locket. Small and circular no bigger than a quarter. She opened it looking at the picture on one side of the locket of her parents holding her and her brother as toddlers and both smiling. Pretty photogenic for toddlers. The other side had "My Girl." Engraved in cursive. He gave it to her when she was 10. Exactly like the one that hung around her mothers neck. Only hers engravement held "It was Red." inside. The story Olivia begged her mother to tell her a hundred times as her bedtime story instead of something like Cinderella or one of the many books that sat on her bookshelf. She always asked for her parents story. She'd still thought it to this day. Or her day.

The tear raised to her eye as she saw them in her mind once again laying dead on the ground. She held the necklase to her heart for a moment before putting it on. The truth would have to wait. But she can't find whoever these people are without Team Arrows help.

But in time.

Olivia realized she couldn't do anything but Wait and watch her parents from a distance. She wondered about going after the kidnappers first. Striking them first. She'd get home everything back to normal. Hiding the truth would be hard. She could at least sub it in for something close to the truth. Something that would get them to listen and try and trust her. Felicity would be able trust her a lot faster than Oliver would. It would take a lot of work to get him to trust her.

But it wasn't imposible. She knows him and while it's a different time she had to know enough to help.

Olivia was just as hard to break through with people but if anyone could break through and get Oliver's trust it's her. She knows her father.
