𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝟏 𝑬𝒑𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒅𝒆 𝟑: 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝑮𝒖𝒏𝒎𝒂𝒏 (𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝟐)

Behind him a man says "Well.. If it isn't Oliver Queen."

He forced a smile as he turned around saying "hey Max, how've you been?"

"Happy you drowned."

Oliver was taken to the back where he was Punched down by Max. Tommy came barging in for Oliver's rescue.

"Let him go!"

"I said let him go!"

"Told you he was gonna be pissed."

"Go away Merlyn, this doesn't concern you." Says Max

"If you want to get to him you're gonna have to go through me." Says Tommy

"And... I think they're gonna."

Tommy and Oliver start punching out Max's men until they are outnumbered.

Laurel comes in quickly punching him from behind and throwing him into his men.

"You done now, or do you want to see a real party?" Laurel asks

He looks up at her and says "Consider yourselves banned for life!"

"Hm. Don't care, we're not exactly missing much here." She snarks

"Yeah! What she said, You club sucks!"

✧𖣠♫✧𖣠♫✧𖣠♫✧𖣠♫✧𖣠♫✧𖣠♫✧𖣠♫✧𖣠♫✧𖣠♫✧𖣠

"Are you guys okay?"

"So.. Where did you learn to do that?" Oliver asks impressed

"My dad's a cop. So he made me take self defense." She says

While it was partially true, there was more to that story. One she wasn't planning on sharing with anyone, especially those two.

*Flashback*

Laurel still young, around the age of 6 was seen fighting an unknown woman with a stick.

"You've improved with your training, little one. But not enough yet." The woman said as she unarmed her

Laurel looked discouraged.

"Listen, believe it or not, you've come pretty far."

"But you still need more practice. I'm used to all of this, been doing it for over 20 years."

"You're still new, and these things take time."

"Thank you." Laurel says

"Would you like to try again?"

"Yes please."

Laurel was jolted out of her thoughts when Oliver started speaking "Laurel, what Thea said-"

"Really Oliver, it's fine. And I'd rather not talk about it right now, or.. With you." Laurel says with a sigh as she walks away.

*Flashback*

Oliver wakes up in the same cave, where he sees Yao Fei asleep.

He runs out of the cave passing many bushes, trees and branches on the way.

He coughs as he falls then continues running until he springs a trap where he ends up hanging in a tree by a net.

Diggle takes Oliver and Tommy to Big Belly Burger "How about you two take a seat and I'll grab some burgers and ice for your faces."

"That girl is pretty cute." Tommy says looking at Carly

"That girl is my sister-in-law." Diggle says protectively.

"Who I will never speak to... Or look at... Ever." Tommy says

"Uh.. I'm gonna grab a booth!"

Oliver walks up to Diggle "She's not wearing a wedding ring.. Brother out of the picture?"

"Yeah, something like that." He says as Oliver walks back with Tommy

"Hey you." Dig says as he walks over to Carly.

"It's so sweet of you to adopt those white boys. They need a good role model." Carly says

"That's my client, Oliver Queen." Dig says as Oliver grunts in pain as he takes a seat

"Looks like you're doing a bang up job of protecting him."

Over at the table, Tommy brings up Laurel. "Look...about Laurel."

"I was gonna tell you...it just. I wanted to.."

"Look Tommy, it's okay. Laurel and I happened a long time ago.. Besides I was dead.." Oliver says

"It was still wrong, you're my friend. And me being with Laurel was against about 50 different friendship principles." Tommy says

"Thank you, but like I said, it's okay." Oliver says

Back with Diggle and Carly she asks "How dangerous is this gig anyway?"

"It's a cakewalk, don't worry. " he says

"Too late. I already lost your brother to this job."

"And I can't forget that." She says with a sigh

Back at the table Oliver gets a call as Tommy says "you're being really chill about this."

"Hello." He says as he answers

"Хоро��о, подожди один момент." (Okay, wait a moment.)

"It's a.." He smiles

"A Russian model calling me."

"Can I have a minute please?"

"Now I can see why you were able to be so chill." Tommy says, getting up from the table.

"So I checked out?" Oliver asks

"You did. Name is Floyd Lawton. I have the address, where he stayed last in Starling city." Says Alexi.

"Let's hope he's a creature of habit." Oliver says

"Go." He says

"1700 Broadway, Pappas Motel, Room 52."

"And you'll leave us out of this? Assuming he doesn't kill you first."

Oliver hangs up the phone.

➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶

Lawton is typing on a laptop.

The hood is waiting outside his door.

Lawton senses someone there, seconds before an arrow goes through his door.

Lawton begins heavily firing at the hood.

The hood is able to shoot two more arrows as Lawton reloads the gun on his wrist and shoots again.

An arrow goes through the mattress

As he fires again he runs and jumps out a window. As the Hood tries to chase after him, he loses him.

He hears sirens so he grabs his laptop and runs.

Oliver walks into the IT department and says "Felicity Smoak?"

She looks up at him. "I'm Oliver Queen."

"Yes, I know who you are." She starts

"Mr. Queen."

"Mr. Queen was my father." He says

"Right but he's dead. I mean- he drowned!"

"And you didn't."

"Which means you can come to the IT department and listen to me babble..."

Which will end!" She says

"In 3..2....1"

Oliver opens then closes his mouth before saying "I'm having issues with my computer and they told me to go see you."

"I was at my coffee shop.. Then I spilled a latte on it." He says

"Those are Bullet Holes." Felicity says Bluntly

"My coffee shop is in a bad neighborhood." He says

"Look... If you can salvage anything from it.. I'd really appreciate it."

Moira walks into Thea's room "Good, you're here."

"Yeah, I'm under house arrest." She says with a hint of sass

"Do you want to wear the Calvin Klein or the Zac Posen?"

"For dinner? I was just gonna wear my pajamas." Thea says

"No, Walter's stock auction."

"I think I'd rather be grounded."

"It's important that you come." Says Moira

"To who?"

"To me."

"Listen.. When you were 4 you brought a cat home." Moira starts

"It was a mean and filthy stray, but still you declared it would be coming to live with us."

"When your father got home from the office that day, he came in and saw what was going on.."

"He explained.. The cat was actually a tiger and that we needed to get it home. And you understood."

"Robert.. He was always so good at getting through to you, I was always so jealous of that." Moira sighs

"You never talk about him.. Dad." Thea says

"This is the first time you've talked about him in years"

"I think over the years.. You and I have gotten into some bad habits." Moira admits

"There's been a lot changing recently, and I think this can change too." Says Moira before walking away.

Back in Felicity's office "it looks like blueprints."

"Do you know of what?"

"The exchange building."

"What's that?" He asks

"It's where the auction for Unidac Industries is being held. Wasn't this supposed to be your laptop?" She asks

"Yeah."

"Look.. Whatever this Shakespearean family drama thing is, I don't wanna be involved."

"What?"

"Claudius, Gertrude.. Hamlet?"

"I never studied Shakespeare in the four schools I dropped out of. " he says

"Mr. Steele is trying to buy Unidac Industries, and you have a company laptop associated with one of the guys he's competing against." She says

"Floyd Lawton."

"No.. Warren Patel. Who's Floyd Lawton?"

"Apparently an Employee of Mr. Patel."

➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳

*Oliver's Voiceover*

The exchange building is surrounded by three towers with eyelines into the building. Lawton could get his kill shot from anywhere.

I can't cover the full area on my own. I'm gonna need some help.

➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶

The hood pops up outside of the police station as he sees Quentin and pins him against a squad car.

"You son of a bitch!"

"Quiet, detective."

"You've got some nerve trying this right outside the police station."

"Floyd Lawton, he's the one targeting the buyers." The hood says

"Interpol calls him Deadshot because he never misses. And you can look this up after I go."

"And stop chasing you?" Lance says sarcastically

"Warren Patel hired Lawton, I can't be sure who they're targeting, but there's a good chance it's all of the buyers." The hood says

"I can't protect them all in a space that big. I need your help."

"Professional help..?"

"Lawton laces his bullets with Curare. Tell your men to wear Kevlar."

"I'll tell them to shoot you." Quentin mutters.

The hood eases up and places the laptop on the hood of the car, and shoots an arrow to distract him.

At the Auction Walter walks in with Moira.

"It's quite a turn out." She says

"I see it as more of an opportunity." He says

"But regardless of the outcome, I'll still leave here the real winner. I already have the two most beautiful women here beside me."

"Two?" Moira asks, turning around to see Thea walking in, in a blue dress.

Thea hugs Walter "Thanks for coming Thea. It means a lot to your mother."

"And me."

A woman walks up to Walter "Mr. Steele, the auction opens in 5 minutes, make sure to place your bid by then."

"Thank you Gina."

He grabs a blue envelope from his pocket and looks at Moira and Thea "Shall we?"

They walk away and Lucas Hilton walks to Patel.

"Warren Patel, please come with me, sir."

As he walks away with him the police are confirming their stations.

"Unit One, All clear. Unit two, do you copy?" Quentin says

"We have Patel in Custody, but no sign of Lawton yet."

"Unit three?"

"Northwest Perimeter is all clear." Says a woman's voice over the radio.

"Unit 4?"

"Parking Structure is all clear."

"Unit 5, what's your status? " Lancer asks as the scene pans to Lawton taking place of an officer who is either dead or knocked out.

As he loads his gun Lawton responds on the walkie talkie "All Clear."

Laurel is walking by in the stairs at the courthouse when Tommy speaks up "Oh what a shock."

She looks over him slightly surprised.

"It's a Friday night, what are you doing here?"

"I'm an attorney and this is a courthouse, so I believe the correct answer is, my job."

"What's your excuse?" She asks him with a hint of attitude

"I wanted to talk to you about last night." Tommy says

"You mean how you and Oliver got your asses kicked, then I saved you?" She asks with a slight laugh.

"First of all. We shall never ever ever speak of that again!" Says Tommy as he stands up

"And I think we both know what I really meant."

"There's nothing else to say. It's all history." Laurel says as she turns around

"I spoke with Oliver." Tommy says

Laurel turns back to face him "He was surprisingly cool about it."

"He knew. I saw his face, and that is the expression of someone who knew long before anything was said."

"Why wouldn't he say anything."

"Maybe because he knows it's not really his business what we do."

"There's a silver lining though," Tommy says with a smile.

"Now that the full truth is out, don't you think there's a chance for us?"

Laurel looks at him with a slight sigh. "You said you didn't think I was a one girl type of guy, so let me prove you wrong."

"By dating me." She says

"By being better, being someone you want to be with." He says

"I'd definitely be interested in meeting that guy." She says

"Come on, let's get out of here. It's a Friday night." He says

She sighs and finally takes his arm. "Fine."

Back at Unidac Industries Oliver walks by Quentin "Well don't you scrub up nice?"

"Just here to support my family." Oliver says

"Me too.. God help me."

"Thank you." Oliver says as he walks away, causing Quentin to scoff.

"Dig, got your eyes open?" Oliver asks

"It's why I'm here. Other than answering patronizing questions."

"He's out of time.. If he's gonna do something, it will be before the auction." Oliver says aloud

"Sir?"

"I heard the story on the radio."

Walter walks over to Oliver as he sees him "Oliver, I'm so pleased you could make it."

"Walter, I think we should be careful, the police said some of the bidders on Unidac were murdered."

"My mother has already lost a husband.."

"If Moira shared your concern, I doubt she would've come with Thea." Walter says

Oliver walks away and over to his Mother.

"Hi."

"Oliver, what a wonderful surprise." Says Moira as Oliver signals Diggle over.

"I need you to get them out of here."

A red dot is seen on Walter as Deadshot lines up his shot. Quentin sees it, and as he takes the shot, Quentin pushes Walter down and out of the way, causing the bullet to hit a nearby server instead, and inciting panic.

Oliver looks to his mom and Thea "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, but what about Walter?" Moira asks

John is trying to lead them out as Oliver peers over and sees Quentin moving Walter to safety.

"Walter is safe."

"Sir, I need to get you out of here." Says Diggle

"Them first." Oliver says

As John gets them out Oliver begins running up the stairs.

"I'll find him ma'am."

As he runs up the stairs, he pulls a hood out of a trash can.

Lawton takes out another woman and then the hood uses a cable arrow to crash through the window.

As the Hood rolls through, Deadshot fires a barrage of bullets at him.

The hood shoots an arrow from behind a column and Deadshot shoots another barrage of fire.

As he shoots another arrow and takes cover, Lawton ceases fire, walking slowly and quietly.

As Lawton thinks he has the drop in him, the hood punches him from behind, knocking him to the ground.

The hood kicks at him and vaults over metal bars as he tries to fire another string of bullets at the vigilante.

The hood kicks him to the ground, breaking a table in half, before the ensue a trial of hand to hand combat.

The hood gets him pinned against a pillar, when Lawton also stabs him with something enough to cause pain and cease pressure.

Deadshot takes his bow and tosses it to the side.

As they tussle for a few more seconds, the hood grabs his bow and takes cover behind the pillar.

"Drop your guns." He says in his regular voice.

"I admire your work." Says Lawton enthusiastically

"Guess you won't be extending the professional courtesy."

"We're not in the same line of work. Yours is murder." Says the hood

"You've taken lives." Deadshot argues

"To protect others."

"You're only out for yourself."

Lawton scoffs and fires another barrage of bullets. The hood quickly fires an arrow. And hears it make contact as deadshot hits the floor with an arrow in his eye.

As the Hood checks the man who appears dead, he hears a loud gasping from behind which alerts him. Only to see Diggle who was shot in the collateral damage.

The Hood takes Diggle.

*Flashback*

Yao Fei is standing outside of the net Oliver was caught in with a knife.

"傻子" (fool) he said as he walked to the other tree.

"這個地方太危險了，任何人都不能獨處" (this place is too dangerous for any one man to be alone)

Yao Fei cuts the rope "他們會殺了你" (they'll kill you.)

Oliver falls out of the trap and Yao Fei moves on, Oliver gets up and runs after him.

A group of armed men check the trap and see someone has escaped it.

➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶

Oliver carried Diggle back to the lair.

He set him on a medical table, and mixed herbs from Lian Yu into a drink, giving it to Diggle.

As Diggle wakes up, he takes off his Hood and says "Hey"

propaganda (SPOILERS) under cut

Jin Guangyao: All his mother ever wanted was for him to be in his rightful place by his father's side. Everything he's ever done, it's just to keep himself and the memory of his mother alive. He's honouring her, honouring her memory. If his father orders him to do something awful, then how can he say no, and disrespect his mother's memory? And if his father continues to disrespect his mother's memory... how can he be allowed to live?

Xie Wang: He was rescued from the streets, raised up from nothing. How can he not give his yifu everything he asks for? Do everything his yifu asks him to do? Become everything his yifu wants him to become? Yifu is the only one who loves him. Yifu is the only one who cares for him. Yifu is the only one he loves. Yifu... yifu doesn't care about him at all.

Prince Yu: You could be the emperor, they told him. Of all your brothers, you're the most like your father, they told him. All you have to do is play the game and wait for it to be your turn, they told him. He played the game, and he played it well, and it was finally his turn. He was finally chosen. Except, he wasn't. He was a front, allowing his pathetic younger brother to steal what was rightfully his out from under his nose. You have one last chance, they tell him. And what other choice does he have?

Shulin: His mother (the one who raised him) told him that she found him, abandoned. Asked him if he wanted to know where he came from. He was just a child. Of course he wanted to know where he came from. And then his home, his people (the ones who raised him) were destroyed. Destroyed by his mother (the one who swapped him for another child, the one who left him to die). Of course he wants his birth mother, his birth people to suffer the same fate as the only people who ever really cared about him. It's a kinder death than they deserve.

Xiao Yu: He is not his father's favourite son. Everybody knows that. As a child, he had liked to think he could compete, but he should have known better. Even with Chuhe gone, even as the only possible candidate, the title of crown prince is still not his. What's worse, though, is that he is not his mother's favourite son, either. She sits and she sighs about some other child that he has never met, as if he isn't right here, not loved by either of them. No matter. He'll use whoever he has to to get the power he deserves.

Ye Zun: He is nothing, he knows. You have no power, they jeer as they spit at him and beat him. His master laughs at his downturned head, taunts him with the knowledge that his own brother sold him to his life of misery. He has never had power… until he does. And once he’s found his strength… why would he give it up? Why wouldn’t he make them pay?

Shen Jiu: He was plucked out of a ditch as a child, with nothing. No food, no home, no parents. Only an older brother, and for years it’s enough. Then, not even that. Later there's power and prestige, but alongside it hatred, mockery. And then he dies, unmourned, unnoticed, unloved. Even his so-called older brother doesn’t notice. This is a secret he has always known - the only way that the story can end happily is without him.

Runyu: He has been pushed to the side in favour of his brother, but he can’t hate him. He is the only one who has stood by him. If that means stepping into the shadows as he strides into the light… well, it is no hardship. Until he meets her. His future wife, their fates intertwined since birth. The one shining promise that has kept him warm through the tormented millennia. And so, for the first time in his existence, he chooses to be selfish. Is that so wrong?

Yin Pei: Dear tumblr user. If you’ve made it this far, I’ll be real with you. I don’t remember what happens in tv shows unless I become obsessed with them or have watched them recently, and neither of those apply here. I can’t remember anything about Yin Pei except he had daddy issues and we referred to him as Kylo Pei in the group chat. Make of that what you will

many thanks to @nemainofthewater for writing ye zun, shen jiu, runyu. I don't know who they are
