Queens Arrow

Homecoming

"Girl, get up. Bitch, get the fuck up!" Jake barked while violently shaking me. 

"Whatttt?" I yawned while rolling away.

"Why are you still in bed?" Jake huffed while opening the curtains. "I knew that you shouldn't have been out there last night. First you get cut which no matter what you say isn't normal then you wake up late on the day your father is coming home from the dead." Jake ranted almost to himself.

"Wait what do you mean. What time is it." I asked starting to panic.

"Well your father just left the hospital." Jake states while flicking on the TV.

"Shit." I sighed while getting out of bed.

When I stood up Jakes eyes went straight to my bandaged gash, that was blood stained. "I'll fix it before you get dressed." Jake said while gathering his tools.  

I went to the bathroom and did my skin care and went to my vanity. I quickly did my makeup and hair. Jake had everything set up in the bathroom to rebandage my gash. Jake removed my old bandage and sanatized my gash. I then went to my closet and pulled out a pair of ripped jeans, and a long sleeve t-shirt. After getting the approval of Jake I slipped into my outfit, and threw on my jewelry. I then looked out the window and saw my grandmothers limo pulling up the drive. We both quickly made our way to the entry stairwell to watch the homecoming of my father. The doors flew open and Moria entered the house first by just a few steps, second was my father Oliver Queen.

"Your room is exactly as you left it. Never had the heart to change a thing." Moria exclaims.

"Oliver. It's damn good to see you. It's Walter, Walter Steel." Walter says, shaking Oliver's hand.

"You remember Walter, your fathers friend from the company." Moria says with no response other than a head nod from Oliver.

"It's good to see you Raisa." Oliver says with a smile.

"Welcome home Mr. Oliver, Mr. Merlin phoned and he wants to join you for dinner." Raisa says with a smile.

"Wonderful. . . Oliver, did you hear that?" Moria says while Oliver walks over to the 2nd staircase.

"Hey sis." Oliver says to Thea.

"I knew it. I knew you were alive. I missed you so much. " Thea exclamied while running down the stairs.

"You were with me the whole time." Oliver whispers.

I crept out from where I was crouched and headed back to the west wing living room. Jake second got up and was nipping at my heels.

"Where are you going?" Jake asked.

"I'm quite hungry so breakfast?" I nonchalantly asked Jake.

"No, absolutely not." Jake snapped while stopping dead in his tracks.

"Okay want me to bring you anything back?" I asked Jake while continuing to walk.

"Y/N stop right now." Jake demanded.

"No Jake I'm hungry and I'm going to eat." I stated while keeping the same place.

"Y/N if you don't stop right now I will walk my happy ass back down this hall and get your father." Jake threatened.

"You wouldn't dare." I barked while stopping and whipping around to face him.

"Oh yes I would." Jake returned.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Your avoiding you father." Jake lectured.

"No, Jake, he's catching up with Thea, Moria, and Walter." I explain.

"No you just don't want to see him." Jake declared.

"Like I said he's catching up with THEA, Moria, and Walter and you think that they are gonna let him out of their sight. I can answer that NO! So were gonna have some time before we'll even be able to see him and you know how I get when I'm hungry. So lets just go get some food to pass the time." I rebutled.

"Fine." Jake sighed while walking to me. " but If we go then your gonna have to talk."

"We'll see." I answered back.

Jake was silent and we made our way out to my west wing private exit of the house. We crept to the garage to get on my bike and make our way to town. I jumped on my bike and kicked it to life. I always loved it when Jake would ride on my bike with me, he was unbelievably uncoordinated and terrified of riding. He ungracefully threw his body on and immediately clutched on around my waist.

When we finally parked, Jake of course couldn't wait to get off. He was almost off the bike before I even had it in 1st gear. We walked into the restaurant and found our seats. I loved waffle houses because you always get an experience when you eat there. It's also open all the time so after a little hood action we can get a cheap breakfast and a laugh.

"Why?" Jaked asked. This was the first thing he said since we left the mansion.

"Just drop it"

"You were so sad when he died, you sleep in his room every other night. You wear his clothes, buy his shampoo & conditioner, body wash, and visit his grave everyday." Jake pleaded.

"Stop, Leave it be." I say flatly.

"No, I think you're scared." Jake stated with an attitude.

"I'm not scared." I emphasise.

"Then what is it?"

"I'm done talking about it."

After we finished eating we went to our night cave to hang out. Jake started working on updating his software and creating new firewalls, to keep everything secure. I started to look through my arrows to repair or replace any arrows that needed it. One thing about me is that even though I can afford the best of the best, I still make my own arrows by hand. I also don't waste them for a couple of reasons. One they are quite strong and can withstand it, two I don't leave any evidence at the scene of my crimes, and three it makes sure I can never be predictable or caught without arrows.

After I had gotten all the arrows fixed and replaced I picked up my phone to give it a brief check. It had totally slipped my mind that my shipwrecked father was finally back on dry land. It was nice, the whole week leading to his homecoming It was the only thing I could think of. My phone had many call and text notifications, Moria had quite literally almost blown my phone up. I knew I had to give her a call back but first I checked in with Jake to see how he was coming along. Of course he told me everything was fine and sent me home packing.

As I was driving home I returned the many phone calls from Moira. I answered the phone to quite an explosion of screaming.
