A/N: This is the last chapter of this story. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. There will be a sequel to this story and I will start working on it as soon as I can. Again, I hope you all enjoyed the story and thanks for reading.
When the team made it to the hospital they were split up so that all of the doctors could get them out of there and back home as soon as possible. None of them would let the doctors take any blood for obvious reasons and when the doctors did the exams on the heroes, they were surprised to see that none of them had any injuries and were not even malnourished. When the doctors were done with the exams they put the heroes back in one room so that they could wait for their families to arrive.
Not long later, the team could hear the doctors talking to someone outside of the door. They looked at the window in the door and could see that it was Moira, Robert, and Quentin standing there listening to the doctors carefully. Soon after, the door opened and the three parents walked in.
"Oh, my sweet children. I have missed you so much." Moira said as she walked over to her two children and adopted daughter and gave them all a hug with Robert not far behind her.
"I can't believe all of you made it. We tried to search for you but no one could find any sign of you." Robert said.
"Yeah, I don't know what to say. We were on the island the whole time." Oliver said and Thea and Kara nodded as well.
"Well, It is good to have you back. I am so sorry that this happened to you." Robert said as he turned to the Lance sisters and Barry as well. It is good to see the three of you as well."

"You too Mr. Queen." Laurel said as she turned to her father. "Hey Dad."
"My baby girls. I am so happy that you both are ok. It has been tough here without the two of you. Welcome back Barry. I missed you too." Quentin said.
"We missed you, Daddy. Where is mom." Sara asked.
"She will be here tomorrow. She now lives in Central City." Quentin said, looking down at the floor.
"Ok. That is something that we will have to talk about later. Everyone before we get on another topic. I am sure that you can see that we have another person with us. This is Shado and she is my girlfriend. She was trapped on the island with us as well." Sara said.
"It is nice to meet you, Shado. Let us know if there is anything that you ever need." Moira said.
"Yeah. Nice to meet you." Quentin said as he was still getting his head around one of his daughters being bisexual, since he knew that she had been into boys at one point as well.
"It is nice to meet all of you as well. I have heard lots of things." Shado said with a smile.
"Ok. I think it is time to get you all home. Why don't all of you come to the mansion for dinner?" Robert said.
"Sounds good to us. I do have a question for you though, Mr. and Mrs. Queen. Is it alright if I live at the mansion? I have gotten used to sleeping close to Ollie and I don't know if I can go back to sleeping alone." Laurel said.
"That is fine with us Laurel. I can understand why that might be a problem for you." Robert said and Moira nodded.
"Wait! I thought you would all be moving back in with me." Quentin said.
"I would dad, but like I said, I have been sleeping close to Ollie so long that I don't think I can go without him there right now." Laurel said.

"Whatever. Sara, you will be coming home, right?" Quentin asked.
"Yeah. Shado and I will be with you." Sara said and Quentin nodded.
"I will be there as well, Quentin." Barry said and Quentin nodded again.
Not too long later, a nurse came into the room with the papers that they needed to sign in order to leave and once they were done they were all given some sweatpants and t-shirts to wear home.
. . .
As Oliver, Thea, Kara, and Laurel walked into the mansion they were all happy to see that nothing had changed since before they went on the Gambit. Oliver had crate with all of their supplies in it in his arms. He made his way up to his room so that he could leave it there and then he came back downstairs and met up with the others.
When he got down the stairs he saw that the others were already talking to Raisa. Oliver walked up to her and she hugged him just like she did with all the rest of them.
"It is good to see you all again. I have everything to make your favorite meals. It is a good thing that you have a big group coming, otherwise I think you would be eating leftovers for a week." Raisa said with a smile.
"I don't know if that will happen or not Raisa. You know how much Kara can eat, and now Barry can eat just as much." Thea said with a smile.
Kara smacked her arm softly and smiled knowing that it was true. Raisa laughed and then made her way to the kitchen to start working on the meal. Not long later, Quentin, Sara, Barry, and Shado showed up and they all went to the dining room.
"Is there supposed to be someone else? There is one more chair here." Kara asked.
"Yes. Tommy is coming. He wanted to be here for this." Robert said.
"Sounds good. It will be good to see him again." Oliver said.
"Well, wait no longer, because I am here." Tommy said as he walked into the room and all of the team walked up and hugged their other best friend.
"Tommy, I would like to introduce you to Shado. She is my girlfriend. She was on the island with us." Sara said.
"Nice to meet you Tommy. I have heard lots of things about you." Shado said as she shook Tommy's hand.
"Good to meet you as well. I hope nothing was too bad." Tommy said.
"It was very interesting to say the least." Shado said and everyone in the room laughed at that.
Dinner went well and everyone had fun together and had a lot of laughs as Shado was told stories about the past. Tommy had said that he would like to throw them all a welcome home party and the team knew better than to not agree because they knew that Tommy would never give up on that.
They would all go out tomorrow and see if they could find a place for their base of operations. They would wait for a while before they start up because if they started their mission too soon, it would be obvious who the vigilantes were. So, the plan was to get their suits made, fix up their base of operations, and then they would see where they needed to start first. It should be about two months or so before they had everything up and running, but when they finally made their first appearance, Starling City's criminals would be looking over their shoulders not knowing when it could be them that would feel the wrath of the vigilantes.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
