second chances

"Time of death, eleven fifty-nine."

His hands started shaking and his blue eyes felt heavier than they've ever been.

After losing so many people, his father, his mother, Shado, Sara, Tommy.. He thought he'd get used to it. At least, he thought he'd be.. stronger.

But no, Dinah Laurel Lance was the source of his strength. She was his light. She was the only person who kept him sane on that place he referred to as hell. She was his reason to live.

He wanted to give up. He wanted to die. But he couldn't. He had to be strong, he had to keep living because he knew that's what she would've wanted.

So he did.

Until one day, he walked into the bunker and she was just standing there. Like nothing had happened. Like it was some kind of gift.

[Important Notes : This fic is set right at 5x10, just with a different twist. Instead of Black Siren invading the team, it's just Laurel returning. Please take note that I haven't kept up with Arrow since 4x19 except for episodes that include Laurel, that is 5x08 and 5x10, so I don't really know much about season five. Which means there will be some changes.]

I do not own any of these characters. All rights go to DC Comics and The CW.
