Little Bear

Olivers POV

<>

I wanted to give Martin Somers the chance to confess and face a court's justice , but he chose to go after someone I care about instead. He's still gonna face justice, it'll just be a different kind.

A bodyguard was outside. One of 6 that were on duty, that is. I took an arrow and pulled my bow back. Aiming, I released the arrow into the man's heart. After he fell limp, I walked up to his body just as his walkie talkie went off.

"Wallace? Wallace, you copy? Wallace? " I heard from the walkie talkie. I grabbed the walkie talkie from his belt, pressing the button to speak through.

"Wallace isn't here, but I am" I said through it. No one responded, hopefully they're afraid. I then started running, getting the other bodyguards attention. They began shooting at me. I aimed my bow and killed one of the bodyguards . After he fell limp, I jump down, grabbed the railing, jumped to the other side, and landed on the floor of the docks. More men came out to shoot at me. It didn't bother me. I just wished that Bear was here, if she was here, they would be dead by now. I loaded my bow and aimed at the men before releasing the arrow into the air. After a few arrows went into the air, I noticed Somers running from below. I released an arrow into the last guy and began chasing Somers.

"Somers!" I yelled as I shot a arrow by his face. He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Oh, God. No, no, no,"

"He can't help you, I want the truth about Victor Nocenti" I demanded before firing another arrow on the other side of his face. Somers shook his head.

"I can't, the Triad will kill me"

"The Triad's not your concern right now" I yelled before releasing another arrow. This time it landing between his legs

"All right, all right, all right. It wasn't me that killed him, it was the Triad."

I pulled another arrow, "acting on whose instructions? " I said before shooting it right above his head . "Whose? "

"All right, All right. It was mine. It was mine, all right? Nocenti said he was gonna testify against me." Somers said just as a mysterious women came into the room. She told me to move away from him, I refused. She then swung her knives at me. I easily blocked them . I tried hitting her with my bow but she blocked me. She then tried to roundhouse kick me, which I quickly ducked from. She then twist and turned with her knives. She then kicked me down just as police sirens were heard. She then took off running.

I then got back up and began running. I tossed my bow on the of the crates and jump on. I then grabbed my bow and ran across the crates. I jumped down and was about to escape when Lance stopped me.

"Freeze! If you twitch, you're dead. Bows down, hand up!" He ordered.

I didn't move for a minute. And when I did, I had tossed the recording of Somers confession at Lance's gun. When it was knocked out of his hand, he turned around. While he was distracted, I took it as my opportunity to run away.

Bear's POV

I spent a few days learning things from Rosa, while Oliver did his business. Last night he came home late, lost in his thoughts. It's weird not fighting besides him anymore. Not being his full partner. Oliver doesn't want to get me involved unless he really needs me. Mostly because he doesn't want them pointing fingers at me. So I play it safe by trying to learn his world. Meaning Oliver made me go to the Robert Queen Memorials. I didn't want to, but he said I needed to be there . That I need to be there because I'll be with people. That I'll learn how to socialize with people. I thought it was strange. To be with people and try to talk to them. I didn't know people. I didn't know how to socialize or how to act human. I've never really talked to much people. Only those I have met on the Island. And they weren't all friendly. I didn't fight Oliver, I just went to the thing. I knew he wanted me to experience what it feels like to be a person, but he doesn't understand how hard it is for me to fit in. I'm a outcast. No one knows anything about me or anything I've done. And no one will. Not for a long time at least.
