A/N: As I have said before, now that we are in the eight years of Oliver being a vigilante, I am only going to do the parts that I think will help the people closest to Oliver understand him and to be able to help him. I will not be doing every episode. Hope you enjoy it.

Oliver is in a limo that pulls up in front of the Queen mansion. He gets out of the car and races to the trunk of the limo so that he can get his crate from when he was on Lian Yu. He walks into the house and he sees a man that he knows but he can't put a name to the face.

"Good to have you back Oliver." The man said.

"You remember our friend Walter don't you Oliver?" Moira asked and Oliver nodded.

He then turns because he hears a noise from upstairs. He sees that his sister is standing at the top of the stair. He walks over to the stairs and Thea jumps into his arms.

"I knew you were still alive." Thea said.

"You were there with me the whole time." Oliver said.

"I told you that yachts suck man." Tommy said from behind him and Oliver turned around to smile at his friend.

"It is good to see you Tommy." Oliver said.

The group then went to have dinner and Oliver realizes that Moira and Walter are now married which is a little too much for him to take in at this point, so he asks to be excused. Before he leaves though, he and Tommy set up something for the next day.

The next day Oliver gets Tommy to drop him off at CNRI so that he could see Laurel. "Hello Laurel, how have you been?" Oliver asked.

"I am doing pretty good considering what you put me through. We need to get together sometime and have a talk." Laurel said.

"I thought you would hate me more than you are showing right now. I would deserve it. I just hope to earn your forgiveness one day." Oliver said.

"I would love to hate you right now, but there are more important things then me hating you going on right now. Do you think we could get together say Friday night?" Laurel said.

"I think I can make that work." Oliver said as he left the office and got into Tommy's car.

"So, how did it go?" Tommy asked.

"It went better than I thought it would. She said that we need to get together sometime and talk." Oliver said.

"I know what this is about, but it is not my place to say. So, where to now?" Tommy asked.

"To my father's old steel mill." Oliver said.

They pull up to the fence in front of the steel mill and Oliver gets out and looks at the place. This is what was going to become his base of operations as a vigilante. They then went to grab something to eat and when they were on their way back to the car, someone jumped them and kidnapped them.

When Oliver woke up, he was zip tied to a chair. "Mr. Queen, did your father make it off of the boat? Did he tell you anything?" the man asked, and Oliver didn't answer which got him a taser to the chest. The man asked again, and Oliver still didn't say anything which got him another shock.

When the man asked for the third time Oliver said, "Yeah he told me something. He told me that I am going to kill you."

"And how will you do that when you are tied to that chair?" the man asked.

Oliver lifted his hands up to show that they were no longer tied. He then attacked the man who was right in front of him and he used that man as a shield against the gunshots and then he was able to get close enough to the second man to take him out. Oliver had to chase down the last man and when he finally did, he got him in a choke hold.

"Come on man you don't have to do this." The third man said.

"Yes, I do. No one can know my secret." Oliver said as he snapped the man's neck.

Earlier that day he had seen that Laurel was going after Adam Hunt who happened to be on the list. He decided that Adam Hunt would be the first person marked off the list. Later that night Adam Hunt was going out to his car when his guards were all shot by arrows leaving him alone. Oliver stepped out of the shadows and approached Hunt in his green leather suit with Yao Fei's hood attached.

"Adam Hunt. You have failed this city." Oliver said.

"You will send $40 million to this bank account within twenty-four hours or I will come and get the money myself." Oliver said and then just to scare Hunt he fired an arrow just by his head.

The next night Tommy was throwing Oliver a Welcome Home party in a building that Oliver had chosen because it was right across from Hunt's office. Oliver was looking around at all of the people and he saw Thea there. He walked over to her and saw that she hid some drugs in her purse. "What are you doing here?" Oliver asked.

"I wanted to come to my brother's Welcome Home party." Thea said.

"Well, you shouldn't be here. Go home Thea." Oliver said.

"You aren't my father, so I don't have to go home just because you say so." Thea said and she left with some of her friends.

When Oliver walked back over to his friends, he stopped by the trash can first and dumped the drugs inside. Later Oliver and Laurel are having a private conversation.

"Oliver I just want you to know that if you need anything like to talk or something like that, I am always here for you." Laurel said.

"Thanks Laurel. I will keep that in mind. So, what is so important that we have to have a special meeting tomorrow night, just to talk about it?" Oliver asked.

"It will be easier on you if you see what it is that we need to talk about." Laurel said.

"Ok, fair enough." Oliver said and his alarm on his phone went off. He looked at his bank account and saw that no money was there.

"Something wrong?" Laurel asked.

"Yeah, someone didn't do something that I told them to so now I have to go and take care of that. I will see you tomorrow night." Oliver said as he went to suit up.

On his way out his walked into his new bodyguard who happened to be Diggle.

"Going somewhere Mr. Queen?" Diggle asked.

"Just to get some fresh air." Oliver said.

"I will have to come with you then." Diggle said.

Oliver made it look like he couldn't get the door open, so Diggle went to get it open and Oliver put him in a sleeper hold and he passed out.

Oliver was on the elevator going up to Hunt's floor. When the doors opened the guards shot up the elevator. Once the gun fire stopped Oliver attacked and he took all of them out pretty easily. He went into Hunt's office and had a challenging fight with Hunt's new security guy, but he finally got the upper hand and was able to take the guard out. That just left Hunt. Oliver took out a special arrow and fired it at Hunt, but Hunt thought that he had missed, when in reality Oliver meant to miss and hit the wall. The new arrow was able to break into Hunt's network and steal the money that he needed. Oliver then escaped through the window as the police showed up. The police came and broke up Oliver's party and to ask if anyone had seen the man now known as "The Hood." Oliver offered a reward for anyone who found the vigilante and Quentin didn't look happy with Oliver's antics.

The next morning, Laurel was at her office and she had been getting calls all morning from people she was working for saying that they had their money returned to them by someone.

"I am glad that you got your money back, but I would keep that to myself for now." Laurel said and the person on the other end of the line agreed with her.

"Ok, so we know about Oliver's first take down once he gets home. That was nice of him to help those people out." Laurel said.

"Yeah, it was, but I bet a lot of people won't think that." Sara said.

"You are probably right. So, what do we get to see next?" Laurel asked.

"We are going to show you the important stuff. So, we will be skipping ahead after this. We wanted to show y'all his first take down though." Mia said.

"Sounds good. Let's see what you have instore for us." Thea said and everyone nodded.

A/N: I know that Laurel is a little different in this story but, she would never keep their child away from Oliver, so I think that would make her a little more forgiving than she was in the show. Hope everyone liked the chapter. Leave reviews and let me know what you think.
