Earth Prime
October 10, 1986
Starling City General
Billionaire Robert Queen paced the hallway of the Hospital as his wife Moira screamed in pain from childbirth, "What was I thinking? We weren't ready for another child after Oliver." Robert thought shaking his head before a smile came upon his face "I'll love this child all the same."
Robert stopped pacing when he heard the cry of a new born, just as a nurse walked put smiling at him "Congratulations Mr. Queen it's a boy."
Robert smiled brightly as he was lead into the room, to see his beautiful wife smiling down at a bundle "Moira?'
"Robert, he's so beautiful." Moira said allowing Robert to see their baby who looked around the room his deep blue eyes holding some intelligence in them which surprised Robert. Robert looked back down to his child who grabbed his finger with a surprisingly strong grip.
"So Mr. and Mrs. Queen, have you decided on a name?" the nurse asked just as thunderstruck reminding them of the storm outside one of the worst Starling City has ever had.
"Nathaniel." Moira said . "His name will be Nathaniel Queen."
"Welcome to the family, son." Robert said holding his baby and smiling down at him before he looked to his wife smiling brightly when the baby smiled at him.
26 Years Later
Lian Yu
On an remote island, known as Lian Yu or Purgatory, all was silent while in a camp site a man wearing a green hood, with dirty blonde locks reaching down to his shoulders, cooked his fish, before he paused and looked up "A ship?" a raspy male voice said. Then, in a show of speed impossible for normal human, the man rushed forward before he kicked the side of a tree and jumped to a branch. He then began to run through the trees, his form blurring as he sped forward before he came through the brush and landed on a small mountain top looking over the ocean to see a small fisher ship close by before he lit a burning arrow and shot it at the pyre on the beach, causing it to erupt in an inferno catching the attention of the fisherman who decided to investigate, causing the man to smirk before he jumped forward to meet the fisher men.
My name is Nathaniel Queen. For 5 long years I've been suffering in hell, but now the time has come for me to return to Starling. It is now time to remove those that are poisoning my city. To do this, I must become the fire that burns away the infestation. I must become-something else.
5 Days Later
Starling City
"Nathaniel Queen is alive. The Starling City resident was found by fishermen in the North China Sea five days ago. Five years after he was presumed dead following the accident at sea which claimed "The Queen's Gambit". Queen was a tabloid presence and fixture on the club scene. Queen is the son of Starling City billionaire Robert Queen who was also on board but now officially confirmed as deceased." the news reporter said.
Hospital
Moira Queen stood in the hallway looking at her baby boy, as he stood at the window watching the city, his hair was cut, back in its natural spiky golden blonde style.
"40% of his body is covered in scars tissue. He also has second degree burns on his back and arms. His mental state though, is what you should worry about. It's best to prepare yourself Moira, the Nathan you lost, might not be the one they found." a doctor said.
Moira turned to look at him "Has he said anything?" she asked.
"Nothing." the doctor said causing Moira to nod before she entered.
"Nathan?" Moira asked before Nathan turned to face her.
"Hi, Mom." Nathan said softly walking over as she teared up.
"Oh. My beautiful boy." Moira cried before she and Nathan embraced with Nathan smiling softly as a tear streamed from his eye listening to Moira sob, as she kissed his cheek.
Morning
Nathan dressed in a long sleeve black shirt, black slim fit Levi jeans and Nike Blazers walked into his home after his mother "Your room is exactly as you left it. I didn't have the heart to change a thing." Moira said, looking to Nathan who smiled at her before he saw a picture of Oliver, and Robert causing him to frown which Moira noticed sadly.
"Nathaniel."
Nathan looked over to see a bald African American man in a suit walk over "Damn good to see you."
Nathan looked at the man before he looked to Moira who looked a bit nervous, looking back to the man he asked "Who are you?"
"It's Walter. Walter Steele." Walter said.
"You remember Walter. Your father's friend from the company." Moira said causing Nathan to nod slowly in recognition before he saw a maid in the threshold and smiled walking over.
"It's good to see you, Raisa." Nathan said as the maid took his hands into her owns with a bright smile.
"Welcome home, Mr. Queen." Raisa said giggling when his eyebrow twitched "I see you still hate formalities."
Nathan nodded and tried to find the right words but settled for "It's a work in progress." he said causing her to smile before she looked to Moira.
"Tommy called. He wants to join you for dinner." Raisa said.
"Wonderful." Moira nodded while a door closing caused Nathan to look up toward the stairs and walk over to the steps "Nate? Did you hear that?"
Nathan remained silent as a teenage girl appeared at the top of the stairs "Hey, Thea." Nathan said.
The girl began to tear up as she came down the stairs "I knew it. I knew you were alive." she said jumping into his arms as he hugged her tightly "I missed you so much." she sniffled.
"I thought about you every single day." Nathan said causing her to tighten her arms around him.
Later
Nathan just got out of the shower, and walled to his mirror and dragged his hand across it wiping the fog away allowing him to see himself, along with the scars that littered his upper body. On his left pectoral was the symbol of a red Chinese dragon inside of a red circle. On his upper back, left side, was another dragon tattoo (Shado's Tattoo)(1).
Later
Nathan was now looking at a picture of his dad. He had a solemn look on his face , before he looked up when his friend, best friend Tommy walked in.
"What did I tell you? Yachts suck." Tommy said causing Nathan to smile and turn to him.
"Tommy Merlyn." Nathan greeted hugging the man in a brotherly fashion.
"I missed you, buddy." Tommy said laughing.
Later
Nathan, Tommy, and Thea sat across from Walter and Moira as Tommy caught Nathan up "Okay, what else did you miss? Super Bowl winners: Giants, Steelers, Saints, Packers, Giants again. A black president, that's new." Tommy said as Nathan nodded watching as Walter poured his mother a glass of wine "Oh, and Lost. They were all dead. I think."
"What was it like there?" Thea asked causing everyone else to stop and look at him.
"Cold, lonely and downright miserable." Nathan said grimly, causing Thea to look at him sadly along with his mother.
"Tomorrow, you and me, hit the city. You've got a lot to catch up on." Tommy said causing Nathan to nod.
"Great idea." Moira said
"Good. I was hoping to swing by the office." Nathan said catching how Walter froze before he spoke.
"There's plenty of time for all that. Queen Consolidated isn't going anywhere." Walter said causing Nathan to look over at him
"But it is The Queen Families company is it not? So, as the last living male Queen, I have the right to walk in and see the company I'll eventually be taking charge of when I decide to." Nathan said staring Walter dead in the eye.
"Okay, so what else you miss?" Tommy asked him, hoping to change the subject as tension suddenly filled the room.
"Apparently my mother's wedding." Nathan said causing Moira, and Walter to look at Thea.
"I swear, I didn't say anything." Thea said.
"You didn't have to, Thea." Nathan said pointing to Walters hand "The both of you are wearing wedding rings, Walter has been here before I even walked in the house, and moments ago was blatantly pouring my mother a glass of wine."
Walter cleared his throat as he shifted uncomfortably, while Thea smiled and was a little amazed along with Tommy how Nathan was able to piece everything together.
"Nate, Walter and I don't want you to think that either one of us, did anything to disrespect your father." Moira said gently.
"I don't care about that, mom." Nathan said looking at her, as she frowned "Does he make you happy?"
Moira glanced to Walter and looked back to Nathan nodding her head "Yes, yes he does."
"Then, I have nothing more to say on the matter." Nathan said standing up "I need some air." He said, kissing Thea's forehead and tapping Tommy's shoulder Nathan walked off.
Midnight
Walter, and Moira walked into Nathan's room to see him asleep in his bed, as he flinched in his sleep while it thundered outside "Dad,….Sara...no."
Nathan was flinching more heavily screaming for Sara, and Robert, when Moira touched him "Nate! Wake up."
On instinct Nathan grabbed Moira and tossed her onto the bed and was over her with his fist raised "Nathaniel!" Walter screamed as Nathan looked down at Moira in horror before he quickly got away from her and huddled into a corner.
"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." Nathan said hugging his knees to his chest
Moira looked at her son sadly and approached him and when she touched him he flinched before she pulled him into a hug "No, it's okay, Nathan. It's all right, sweetheart. You're home." Moira said as she clutched onto him tightly wondering what he's been through.
Morning
After giving Thea a rock called a Hozen, Nathan and Tommy went out, before he convinced Tommy to take him to see Laurel, his one night stand, Oliver's ex-girlfriend and Sara's sister, currently he was walking down the street with her "So you went to Law School?"
"5 Years and that's what you want to talk about?" Laurel asked.
"No." Nathan said looking at her sadly "I'm sorry about Sara."
"Are you?"
"Sara was my best friend, I had no idea that she was on the Gambit, until an hour into the trip."
"And I'm supposed to believe that? After what happened between us, Oliver decided to screw my little sister?"
"I never told Oliver that we slept together. Trust me I wanted to rub it in his face, but I didn't. I gave you my word."
"That used to mean something." Laurel said as Nathan looked at her seriously "We buried an empty coffin, because her body was in the bottom of the ocean where you left her. It should've been you." she spat but immediately regretted it when a dead expression came over Nathan's face, and she flinched seeing his eyes.
"Have a good day, Dinah." Nathan said coldly walking away.
Laurel stood there as she watched Nathan leave regretting what she said, as Nathan had been the responsible good brother, who was a bit of a playboy, but was very respectful when he needed to be, when his temper was in check, and he always looked out for Sara. With a sigh she walked back to work.
With Nathan
Nathan and Tommy walked to Tommy's car, "We took care of that. Good call. Now we can make up for lost time." Tommy said as Nathan took deep breath "If you're not sick of fish let's find some leggy models and eat sushi off them. What do you say?"
Nathan made to speak but a van pulled up behind them, and masked men got out "What the hell?" Nathan asked just as he and Tommy were shot with tranquilizers
Nathan fell to his knees looking up before his eyes widened when an elderly man walked out and saw what was going on "Hey!" he yelled only for one of the three men to open fire with his assault rifle, causing the man to die before he hit the ground. Nathan glared up at the man just as a hood was put over his face.
Flashback
2007
Nathan sat beside his dad, with his head in his lap, as tears streamed down his face, the reality of Oliver's death kicking in, he couldn't think of Sara being dead, there was always the chance she was just adrift somewhere in a piece of debris and hopefully she'd find away home and be safe.
"Here, son." Robert said handing Nathan a water bottle "Drink."
Nathan opened the water and took a sip.
"What the hell are you doing? That's all we've got." the surviving crewmen shouted.
"If anybody's making it out of here, it's gonna be him." Robert said glaring at the man before he looked to Nathan "I'm so sorry, I thought I'd have more time. I'm not the man you think I am. I didn't build our city. I failed it. And I wasn't the only one."
Nathan rose an eyebrow in confusion.
End Flashback
"Mr. Queen?" a muffled male voice said causing Nathan's eyes to snap open just as the hood was yanked off his face "Mr. Queen?!"
Nathan looked around as a man held a taser in his face, and saw Tommy on the ground unconscious but alive "Did your father survive that accident? I ask the questions. You give me the answers." the man with the taser said before he tasered Nathan who groaned "Did he make it to the island? Did he tell you anything?"
The man quickly tasered Nathan again only to stop when Nathan began to laugh and step back looking to his partners "Yes, he did."
"What did he tell you Mr. Queen?" the man asked before he saw Nathan smirk and pain, followed by darkness was all he knew
Nathan yanked his kunai from the man's forehead, and used his body as a shield when his partner opened fire, before he spun around the man and slit the second man's throat, while the last man the old man ran, while Nathan ran over to Tommy and checked for a pulse. Finding one, he stood up, he threw his kunai so hard that the blade pierced though the back of the guys head and came out the front, impaling itself in the wall, leaving a noticeable spider-web crack. Nathan retrieved his kunai and within a minute was back zip-tied to the chair just as Tommy awoke, none the wiser that his friend had just slaughtered 3 people, armed with assault rifles, with only a kunai.
Later
Queen Manor
Nathan, Tommy, Moira, and Walter sat in the comfort room with Dt. Lance father of Laurel, and Sara the man was shooting dirty looks at Nathan who told him of a man wearing a mask and a hood had saved him and Tommy.
"So that's your story?" Lance asked in disbelief "A guy in a black hood, and a mask covering the bottom of his face flew in and single-handedly took out three armed kidnappers? I mean, who is he? Why would he do that?"
"Hell if I know. Find him, and you can ask." Nathan said annoyed at the dirty looks he was being given from the man.
"What about you? You see the hood guy?" Lance asked Tommy who just shook his head.
"I saw nothing, when I woke up the guys were dead, Nathan was zip tied to the chair, and that's it.
"Yeah." Lance nodded before he glared at Nathan "It's funny, isn't it? One day back and somebody's gunning for you. Aren't you popular?"
"It's both a gift and a curse." Nathan shrugged nonchalantly.
Lance made to shout at Nathan but Moira spoke "Were you able to identify the men?"
"Scrubbed identities. Untraceable weapons. These were pros." Lance's partner said.
"Yeah. They figured you'd pay a king's ransom to get your boy back. Or a Queen's ransom, as it were. After all, a parent would do anything to keep their child safe." Lance said snarkingly as he glared at Nathan.
"You sure you're okay, Detective?" Nathan asked looking the man in the eye "Perhaps you shouldn't be the one leading this case, since it seems to me, you couldn't give two shits if I died."
"You listen here you son-"
"Quentin." Lance's partner hissed stopping his partner.
"Mr. Lance, you seem to share the habit of projecting your anger at my brother onto me, when I've done nothing wrong to your family. Oliver took Sara onto the yacht, not me. Is your anger justified? Certainly, but the man your angry at is dead...so get the hell out of my house and go do your job." Nathan said harshly while Quentin stood up and left along with his partner, as Nathan stood up, and watched after him, Moira catching the tear that slipped from his eye frowned sadly as he walked away.
Next Day
Nathan wearing a black v-neck, black jeans, and a leather jacket walked out the house, ready to leave when he stopped when Moira called his name "Nathan!"
Turning around he saw her and Walter walking toward him from a buff, African American man standing with a stiff posture "I'd like you meet someone. This is John Diggle, he'll be accompanying you from now on."
"I really don't need a babysitter mom." Nathan said.
"Darling, Nathaniel is a grown man. If he doesn't feel he needs armed protection," Walter butted in.
"You know, I understand but this is something I need." Moira interrupted looking at Nathan who glanced to Diggle before he sighed looking to his mother.
"Fine." Nathan said causing Moira to smile before she kissed his cheek and walked away.
Moments Later
Nathan sat in the back of the Rolls-Royce while Diggle drove "So what do I call you?" Nathan asked making conversation.
"Diggle's good...Dig, if you want." John said.
"You're ex-military?" Nathan asked looking out the window before he smirked
"Yes, sir. 105th Airborne out of Kandahar, retired. Been in the private sector a little more than four years now. I don't want there to be any confusion. My ability to keep you from harm will outweigh your comfort. Do we have an agreement?...Sir?... Sir?" John not hearing a response looked back only to see Nathan was gone and immediately slammed on the breaks and got out looking for his charge.
Abandoned Queen Industrial Warehouse
With Nathan
Nathan walked into the warehouse, and paused seeing a note on the door "Have your weapons, and your suit ready. Good Luck, Beloved. T."
Nathan smiled at the note that was left by Talia, walking inside he saw a salmon ladder, lots of other workout equipment, and a wall with different types of swords, a bow and lots of arrows, and numerous kunais, shuriken, and other types of knives.
Seeing a box on a desk, Nathan walked over and opened it to see his suit and mask. His suit(AN: Which is the same design as Oliver's first costume.) was jet black with red accents around the hood and on the arms. His costume had a black and red utility belt wear he stored all his kunai and shuriken(AN: Shuriken looks like this: product/black-titanium-ninja-star-aspx/). He had a tactical katana (Can be found here along with kunai looks: product/full-tang-ninja-sword-with-kunai-knives/) strapped across his back. He wore black leather gloves with a black metal plate on the back of the hand. He wore black steel gauntlets with three blades on the side(His gauntlets and gloves are the same ones that Ra's AL Ghul wears in the training scene in "Batman Begins"). He also had a facemask that covered his mouth, jaw and nose(Kakashi's facemask). (2)
Nathan himself meditated for a few hours, before he walked to the desk, and pulled out his father's book, where names were written on every page, before his attention went to the news coverage that had Laurel's face on it along with some bald, fat, middle aged guy.
"The suit alleges Hunt committed acts of fraud and theft against the underprivileged. Laurel Lance, attorney for the city," putting the TV on mute, Nathan looked to his father's book, and found the name Adam Hunt.
After researching his target, Nathan began to get ready "Adam Hunt's crimes go deeper than simple fraud and theft but anyone who has gotten too close to the truth, he's been able to bully, bribe, or kill. Well, he has yet to deal with me." Nathan said placing his mask on as his eyes changed to a blood red color with slit pupils.
Later
Parking Lot
Adam Hunt, and 3 men walked toward his limousine "Remind Grell, I put him on the bench. I can take him off. I will turn him into a cautionary tale." Adam said.
"Yes, Mr. Hunt." his lapdog said.
"And this attorney, Laurel Lance? You said she wasn't gonna be a problem anymore. I told you to fix that situation." Adam said before he glared at the man who looked at him "Why are you still here?"
The man quickly ran off, while Adam and his two guards walked away, but the lights burst into sparks when Shuriken were thrown at them, causing Adam and his men to look up in bewilderment, before a kunai struck a man in his heart, causing him to grunt and fall.
"Get in the car!" Adam's other guard ordered opening the door allowing Adam to get inside, and as soon as the door was closed the man opened fire at where he thought the attacker was.
"You missed." a dark voice behind him, before he was pierced between the eyes by a black and red arrow, causing Adam to shout in surprise before he was grabbed and thrown to the ground to see a black figure with on top of the car.
"Woah! woah! woah!" Adam shouted as the figure was now standing over him "Look, just- Just tell me what you want."
Adam grunted when the man grabbed him by his throat and held him up so that he was looking into the blood red irises and slit pupils of Nathan "You're gonna transfer $40 million into Starling City Bank account - 1141 by 10 p.m. tomorrow night." (AN: FYI, Naruto's voice Modulator makes him sound exactly like Prometheus from Arrow's Season 5)(3).
"Or what?" Adam asked.
"Or I'm gonna take it by force. And you won't like how. This is your only warning. There will not be another" the man said walking away as Adam breathed a sigh of relief but needing to get the last word he shouted.
"If I see you again, you're dead!" Adam yelled only for the man to continue walking and flick his arm back, before Adam gasped in pain, when a shuriken sliced his right cheek right under his eyes wide open. looking back clutching his face he saw the throwing star embedded deep into his limousines trunk.
Later
Adam's Office
Lance, and his partner were in front of Adam who had a bandage on his cheek "He was wearing a black hood, and he had these red eyes, he had a sword." Adam said and saw the detectives look at each other "What, you don't believe me?" he asked picking up the shuriken and handing it to Lance's partner "That maniac put two of my men in the morgue."
"Well, thanks for your statement. We'll put out an APB on a ninja." Quentin said sarcastically.
"Hey, pal, I'm not some grocer who got taken for his register. I go to the front of the line." Adam said glaring at Quentin "He said he'd be back here by 10 p.m. Make sure you're here first. You can coordinate with…my new head of security."
Quentin, and his partner looked over to the man who nodded, "All right. Well, uh, thanks for your time." Quentin said as he and his partner left.
"Looks like Queen was telling the truth." Quentin's partner said looking at the shuriken.
"Yeah, well, there's a first time for everything." Quentin said still sore on how Nathan had talked to him "This hooded guy comes looking for trouble, he'll find it."
Later
Queen Manor
Nathan walked out of the house, in a white button up, black jeans, and white/black Maison Margiela 22 Future Hightops walking to the Rolls-Royce he opened the door to see Diggle in the back seat "Put on your seatbelt, sir. Wouldn't want you to miss your party."
Nathan smiled as he got in, chuckling.
Club
Nathan walked into the party checking his phone to see he had an about 50 minutes to party, putting his phone up he looked up just as a spotlight was put on him, as Tommy ran over queuing the DJ to cut the music as everyone turned to him and Tommy "Everybody, hey! Man of the hour! And, ladies, please give this man a proper homecoming."
Nathan smiled as 4 very beautiful women lead him to a table as We Are The Champions played, getting onto the table Nathan smiled "Thank you very much, everybody!"
"Nate!" Tommy called handing Nathan a shot of Tequila, knocking the shot back Nathan smiled.
"God, have I missed alcohol!" Nathan yelled causing everyone to shout and raise their glasses, "Dj, play the music, I've been gone for 5 long years and I have a lot to catch up on!"
The music played as Nathan got off the table, and began to mingle.
Across the Street
Adam was still in his office, and took drinking a glass of Scotch, his hand shaking as he noticed he had 30 minutes left, while his men loaded their assault rifles walking over to the window. Hunt looked down to the club and frowned "What the hell's going on out there?"
"Across the street. Party for the guy they rescued off that island. Nathan Queen." Drackon said.
Club
Nathan was talking to some old friends who showed up to support him when Tommy walked over and pointed to Digg who was watching him like a hawk "Hey, does he wipe for you too?" he asked causing Nathan to shake his head before Tommy took him by the shoulder and turned him to the girls dancing on the table "Now, by my rough estimate, you have not had sex in 1839 days. As your wing man, I highly recommend Carmen Golden."
"Which one?" Nathan asked.
"She looks like the chick from Twilight." Tommy said.
"What's Twilight?" Nathan asked Tommy.
"You're soooo better off not knowing." Tommy said causing Nathan to smile.
"I'll take your word for it." Nathan said before he frowned when he saw Thea talking to someone who reached into his pocket.
"Back in a sec." Nathan said Tommy, walking over to his sister who was about to take drugs from some punk, before his hand shot out and grabbed the man's fingers and broke all the bones in his hand.
"Ahh!" the man shouted as Nathan took the drugs from his hand.
"Nathan!" Thea called shock as she and her friends watched along with Diggle, and Tommy
"You have one of three choices. Option 1; I call the cops, and tell them you were about to give drugs to minors who shouldn't even be here. Option 2; we walk outside, and I beat your ass to unrecognizable pulp for attempting to give my baby sister drugs. Option 3; you get the fuck out of here right now. Please, choose Option 2." Nathan said glaring at the man.
"Okay, man chill out I'll leave." the man said before Nathan released him.
"I better not see you in here again." Nathan said as the drug dealer quickly left while Nathan looked to Thea.
"Who let you in here?" Nathan asked frowning
"I'm not 12 anymore." Thea said.
"No, you're 17." Nathan retorted.
"Nate, I love you, but you can't come back here and judge me. Especially for being just like you, and Ollie." Thea said.
"And look where that got us." Nathan said before he sighed and ran a hand through his hair "Look, I get that it wasn't easy when I was...dead, and you probably found this as a way to cope, but I don't like it, and I will be there to ruin your buzz every time I catch you, do you understand me?"
Thea looked at Nathan and wanted to argue but couldn't as he motioned for Diggle "See to it that my sister and her friends get home safely." Nathan said causing Diggle to look like he wanted to protest "I'm at a party with nothing but beautiful women around, get my sister home safely Dig, and come back. I won't disappear. Scouts Honor."
Diggle looked at Nathan for a moment and nodded before he lead the girls out of the club, shaking his head Nathan walked to the trash and tossed the drugs away before he made to head back to the party but bumped into Laurel "You're here. Why are you here?" Nathan asked
"Tommy. He made the point that we have too many years between us to leave things the way we left them." Laurel said causing Nathan to nod slowly, taking note of Tommy watching jealously from the bar "Is there some place quieter that we could go?"
"Yeah." Nathan nodded before they walked off.
Moments Later
Nathan was leaning on the rail of the top floor overlooking the party as Laurel stood beside him "I'm sorry about saying that you should've been the one who died. That was wrong. I was projecting my anger at Oliver onto you, and that was wrong."
"I had hoped that when she was swept overboard that may she was adrift on a piece of debris and found by someone and returned safely to you and your family." Nathan said causing Laurel to look at him "I hated Oliver for years. He ruined your relationship with Sara, and got her killed. You were right when you said it should've been me, because I failed her. I sometimes think if I had never approached you both that day all those years ago at the mall, this pain wouldn't have been visited upon you and your parents."
Laurel looked at Nathan sadly watching as he laughed mirthlessly blinking the tears away from his eyes "If you need someone to talk to about what happened to you, I'm here."
Nathan looked at her before his phone vibrated and he checked it to see it was 10 pm and no money had been deposited into the account, causing him to frown.
"Something wrong?" Laurel asked.
"Just some reports requesting interviews." Nathan said, putting his phone in his pocket before he looked at her seriously "I would like that Laurel. I really do, but it's better, if you stay away from me. My family has put you through enough, and the last thing I want is to hurt you again."
Laurel made to speak but Nathan kissed her before she could, and the two began to make out passionately before he pulled away leaning his forehead against hers as they breathed heavily "That'll hold me together for another 5 years." Nathan said kissing her forehead before he walked off leaving Laurel to watch after him sadly.
Nathan slipped out after that.
Adam Hunts Building
Drackon was putting the men into position, "You two cover the elevator. Hang back and be ready. Stay in the corners and stay alert." Drackon said walking to Hunts office and closing the doors before he activated the security system "It's past 10. He's never getting in here."
Adam nodded and turned to look out the window missing the black kunai that struck the outside wall with an audible crack.
Quentin and his partner were in front of the building with a few other cops waiting "All's clear." Quentin nodded.
"Yeah." his partner said.
With Adam
Adam was calming down figuring the man was all talk, but the lights suddenly cut out, caused his nerves to act up once again.
As the elevator dinged, the door opened and a black and red arrow hit one of the five guards in the heart, causing his gun to fire into the ceiling. Nathan stepped out and punched one the guards knee caps out, before pivoting around, taking out his tactical katana and slicing his throat open before slicing the neck of the one who had his knee cap broken. Not losing momentum, he threw one of his shuriken into the neck one of the last two remaining guards in the hall, before moving behind a pillar, to avoid getting shot. He threw a kunai from behind the cover of the pillar, which hit the guy in the hands, causing him to drop his gun, before Nathan rushed out and kicked him through the glass doors of Adam's office causing the man to be lit up with gunfire. Entering Nathan shot one of his black and red arrows into a man's chest, before he ducked under a swing and elbowed his attackers knee causing it to cave in, before Nathan snapped the guys neck, and shot an arrow at Adam who ducked while Nathan had his bow trained on him.
"You missed!" Adam said
"You would think so." Nathan said before he was tackled by Drackon and the two began to fight while Adam eased out of the room and made a call to Quentin.
"He's here!" Adam said frantically
Downstairs
"All units converge. All units converge." Quentin yelled as he and his fellow law enforcement officers ran to the building
Nathan ducked under Drackon's wild swing, and begin to Bob and weave through the man's wild attacks, before he grabbed the man's arm when he attempted a right cross, and yanked him forward and an unforgiving elbow to his nose causing the man to fall to the ground and Nathan threw a shuriken into Drackon's neck when he tried to reach for his gun. (4)
Taking deep breaths Nathan calmed himself, before he looked to where he heard multiple rushing footsteps "Lay down your weapons or we will open fire. I repeat, lay down your weapons!" Quentin yelled, only for Nathan to get up and run causing the cops to immediately began shooting but they were shocked when he jumped through the window
Rushing over Quentin and his partner saw the black figure glide across the street and land on the rooftop of the building when the Queen's party just so happened to be "Tell me you saw that." Quentin's partner said
"Okay. Let's go. Move!" Quentin ordered as he and cops ran
Club
Nathan had returned without anyone noticing, and currently had 2 girls leaning into his side whose names were Alexis (Nina Dobrev) and Pamela (Shay Mitchell), having a good time, everyone groaned when a S.W.A.T. member ordered the Dj to cut the music.
"Search the building. Roof to basement. Find him!" Quentin yelled a as he approached the crowd while Nathan stood up "Starling City police. The party's over, kids! Oh, Mr. Merlyn. Imagine my shock to find you here. Roofie anyone special tonight?" Quentin asked glaring at Tommy who smiled.
"Detective." Nathan said walking forward causing Quentin to look at him "This is a private party."
"There was an incident at Adam Hunt's building. Know about that?" Quentin asked suspiciously.
"Who's Adam Hunt?" Nathan asked.
"A millionaire bottom feeder. I'm surprised you aren't friends."
"Well I am a friendly guy, but I have no new friends, seeing as I've been out of town for a while." Nathan shrugged as Tommy chuckled.
"Yeah. Well, he just got attacked by the guy with the hood. The guy that saved your ass the other day." Quentin said still glaring at Nathan.
"Really, did you catch him?" Nathan asked only for Quentin to glare, "Shame, I would really like to speak with him."
"Did you even try to save her?" Quentin asked stepping into Nathan's face.
"Okay, let's go partner." Quentin's partner said starting to pull him away.
"Did you even try to save my daughter?" Quentin asked.
"You'll never know." Nathan said causing Quentin to try to rush him but his partner and a other officer pulled him away.
"Sara wouldn't want this. Let's go." his partner said.
"Now that, that is over with. Let's party!" Nathan yelled getting cheers from everyone just as the music started but Tommy grabbed his shoulder.
"Some coincidence. You asking to have your party here and Hunt getting robbed next door. And by the same guy who rescued us at the warehouse." Tommy said
"I know right." Nathan said smiling as Alexis, and Sally appeared by him, and he wrapped an arm around their shoulders "Don't worry about it Tommy. If I were you, Tommy, I'd just be glad you're still alive."
"What happened to you on that island?" Tommy asked with a frown.
Nathan winked at Tommy and left with the two girls.
Next Morning
Adam Hunt was enraged as he yelled into his phone "What the hell are you talking about? Forty million dollars doesn't just up and vanish...Untraceable? It is $40 million. Find it!"
Slamming his phone onto his desk, he sat down putting his face into his hands "How did he do it?" he asked unwary of the arrow Nathan had tossed at him was sticking to his wall, and a small light was blinking on it
Queen Manor
Nathan sat at the foot of his bed, looking at his tablet, as he remotely drained Adam Hunts bank account, and split it up between all the people he had extorted from.
Crossing with a smirk he closed the window, and placed his tablet down after shutting it off and looked to the picture of him and his dad on his desk.
Flashback
2007
Nathan was on the raft with his dad, and the crew worker, trying to sleep, while his dad watched the crew worker who was leaning on the raft with a hunting knife in hand "There's not enough for all of us." Robert whispered to Nathan.
"Save your strength, dad. I can't lose anyone else." Nathan whispered back.
"You can survive this. Make it home, make it better. Right my wrongs. But you gotta live through this first. You hear me, Nathan? You hear me, son?"
Nathan was looking at his dad, and nodded slowly "Just rest, Dad. You can't give up." he said closing his eyes to sleep before he heard a gunshot causing him to spring up and see his dad had shot the crew member sending him into the ocean.
"Dad?" Nathan asked in shock.
"Survive." Robert said putting the gun to his head causing Nathan's eyes to widen as he rushed forward reaching for Robert.
"No!" Nathan yelled as the gun went off and his dad killed himself, clutching his body to himself Nathan sobbed, as his father died in front of him. (5)
End Flashback
Nathan was snapped out if his flashback when the girls began to kiss his back, and Pamela brought him into a kiss, while Alexis got onto her knees between his legs taking him into her mouth.
Later
A man dressed in all black walked over to Moira and spoke "The police failed to identify the men I hired to kidnap Nathaniel. And they never will. Should we arrange another abduction?"
"No. There are other ways of finding out what my son knows." Moira said getting a nod from her accomplice as she looked up to the window of Nathan's bedroom, he and his two guest having been locked in said room all day. Despite herself she couldn't help but smile, as it was just like old times even though her heart was still broken as her eldest boy was deceased, she still loved Nathan with all her heart.
