The Hero In the Dark

Together Again

"Olivia..."She looked up at his parents. "Come on." Sean's mother bent down and hugged her. Sitting in the hospital. None of them there for good reasons. Olivia could only think that she shouldn't be near them. It's her fault their son is dead. She stood."We'll take you home."She stood between Tina and Jeremy. They did as Tina said. They took her home Olivia's parents waiting on the porch for her.

Olivia looked at her self in the black dress, her eyes still red and puffy. Her black converse the only black shoes she owned. Felicity showed up in her doorway dressed in all black followed by her father in his suit. He was basically born in a suit. They made their way to the graveyard. She sat on their chairs next to Tina and Jeremy. She listened to the minister. Olivia has never really been that religious even though her mom is Jewish. It was only the holiday's they showed any religion at all. But at the moment Olivia didn't believe in anything. "Finally, we are here today to seek and to receive comfort. We would be less than honest if we said that our hearts have not ached over this situation. We are not too proud to acknowledge that we have come here today trusting that God would minister to our hearts, and give us strength as we continue in our walk with Him. It is our human nature to want to understand everything now, but TRUST requires that we lean and rely heavily on God even when things seem unclear. Olivia Queen has prepared a eulogy for Sean." He stepped aside.

Tina squeezed her hand before Olivia stood. Once she got there she looked to her parents her mother giving her a sympathetic smile. Her father only able to feel the hurt for his daughter. He's lost a lot of people in his life. He didn't want the same for his kids. William stood next to Oliver. He'd come back from campus even though it's his last year and exams. He came back for his sister. Olivia looked to the casket knowing what was inside."Liv.."She looked to her best friend who'd just whispered to her. Giving her only a questioning look. Olivia looked back at the casket. Flowers sitting there.

"I can't...I can't..."Olivia turned and ran away. Her siblings, Her parents called after her. Olivia ran. And she couldn't stop."

"Liv.." Olivia looked at her mother. Felicity smiled after her daughter opened her eyes. "Finally thank god."

"What's going on?" Olivia asked as she sat up. Finding herself in star labs.

"You stopped the explosion. Most of it. Saved a lot of people But you couldn't hold the last bit and-"

"I went flying...Yeah..What about Gillard?"

"On Lian Yu. And never ever getting out. But..."Olivia took a deep breath."You've been in a coma...for almost 2 months."

Tommy, Oliver, Barry, Iris, Cisco, and Caitlyn all walked in. All happy to see her and welcome her back to the awake world. Caitlynn did her check up making sure everything was normal. Olivia was happy to be awake. She wasn't happy that she remembered her dream. When the man has run his fingers along her memories like fingers threw files in a filing cabinet brought up her memories again.

"I want to know something," Felicity asked crossing her arms over her little baby bump that was showing finally."How did you know that guy wasn't going to wipe your memories?"

"Yeah...You didn't look like you had no idea. You knew that he wouldn't do anything."Oliver said as he took a seat on a chair close to Tommy.

"After...After Sean died. I ran away. I was away for a couple weeks. I went to Central City in search of a meta I heard of. He was taking peoples memories away so he could be a petty thief. I asked him to clear my memory of Sean...So I wouldn't...so I wouldn't be in pain anymore. The pain that caused my panic attacks that made me want to stand on top of a bridge. That wouldn't let me out of the bed or out of the dark. When he tried it didn't work."

"You're powers." Caitlyn jumped in. "They block it. Even when you're powers aren't active to you, they are."

"That doesn't explain what pushed him and everyone else away, or the creepy glowing eyes," Tommy said.

"Advancement in her powers."Barry crossed her arms. "She's got some serious powers."

"Either way. You were in a coma because you had used so much energy, your body just couldn't take it. In the moment it was fine. But then once you were out it took the opportunity to heal itself. And don't think you spent a moment alone."Caitlyn smiled.

Once they got the okay they got their things. Tommy and Olivia prepared to return to their time. Felicity clearly sad to see the kids she's been getting ready to know leave. Olivia pulled Oliver aside."Learn to listen to me in the future. It will save you a lot of stress."

"You mean about fighting?"

"I mean a lot of things. Maybe it will keep you from picking me up in a police station for fighting in underground fight clubs." Oliver smiled."I'm a real handful, just go with it."Olivia walked away back to her brother. Tommy put up his hand and the breach appeared."We'll see you soon." Felicity waved to her kids then touched her small bump.

Together they jumped through popping out the other side landing on their feet now dressed in different clothes. Tommy was in a dark blue button up and jeans and converse while Olivia looked down at her floral sundress and all white vans. "Your hair...it's your natural colour." She pulled it in front of her now it was long enough to reach the middle of her back.

Both closed their eyes looking through their memories. They had new ones. They still had their powers. Tommy was never taken. They grew up fairly normal aside from their night adventures. Olivia knew she had some secrets as they passed her mind. Oliver has listened to Olivia. They got them ready for the field. Olivia  held her breath when she didn't see any new memories of Sean. But then she saw the day she hated so much. They were somewhere else. And he never died.

"OH MY GOD!" Olivia ran.

"What?!" She ignored Tommy and continued on till she caught a cab. Her heart still racing as if she was running full speed. Even though she still has her memories, she had her new ones from the new timeline.

She could see it all. They met in the Big Belly Berger. But just as before, they argued a lot. But one night it had changed. And they were just as in love as before. She pulled up to the familiar house and quickly got out after paying the cab driver. She ran to the door knocking on it loud and clear.

"Liv.." Olivia jumped into his arms. Feeling his breathing against her chest his skin warm and his pulse beefing."What's going on?" He asked after she pulled away and looked at him. Before she explained she just pressed her lips to his. He let her do what ever she wanted. Even if both just stood on the porch allowing the whole block to see. After a bit she pulled away. Just looking in his eyes as he held a small smile."Are you Okay?"

"I couldn't be better." Olivia said. "I love you Sean."
