The Return of the Queens

The news anchor on the Starling City News came on the air and said "Oliver and Thea Queen have been found alive on an island in the North China Sea. The Queen's have been missing for five years and it looks like they were the only ones on the Queens Gambit who survived. More on this story later at 11 pm."

Laurel Lance was shocked when she heard the news on the television in her office at C.N.R.I. She packed her things and went home. She was able to find out what hospital Oliver and Thea were being transferred to so that she could meet them there.

When Oliver and Thea arrived at Starling General Hospital they were thoroughly checked over and all of their injuries were cataloged by the doctors. Once the doctors were done, they left the room to give the siblings sometime to get their barrings for being back in Starling City.

Laurel arrived at the hospital and asked to be shown to Oliver and Thea Queen's room. She was told to go to room 203. When she reached the room, a doctor met with her and told her about all of the injuries that the sibling had accumulated over the last 5 years. Laurel was shocked that Oliver and Thea were able to survive all of these injuries, but she was glad that they were alive none the less.

Laurel opened the door and said "Ollie, Speedy."

The Queen siblings turned around with a smile on their faces and said, "Hey Laurel." Laurel ran forward and kissed Oliver first and then she hugged Thea who was like her younger sister (Thea is going to be 21 in this story).

"So, does this mean that we are still together?" Oliver asked.

"Of course, we are. I wouldn't be here if we weren't. I was like a shell of myself when the two of you were not here." Laurel said.

"I am glad to hear that because thinking of getting back to you is what kept me alive." Oliver said.

Laurel smiled but Thea then said, "I am glad that you to are back together and happy and all but please let me get out of the room before you jump his bones Laurel."

"Very funny Speedy. You don't have to very about that for now." Laurel said.

"That's good. How long before we can go home anyways?" Thea asked.

"They said that I could take y'all home later this afternoon." Laurel said.

"That's good. Do we even have a home?" Oliver asked.

"Yes, in the case that all of you died, the house was to be left to Raiza. She has been keeping everything up for the past five years. Of course, until you are declared to be alive, she still owns your home. Walter Steele is running Queen Consolidated, but once you are declared alive, Oliver you will own 51 percent of the company and Thea you will own 49 percent of the company. The two of you can join the company or either let Walter continue to run it." Laurel said.

"How do you know all of this stuff Laurel?" Thea asked.

"After there was no sign of any of your family for a year, I had become a lawyer and I put all of this deal together just incase it turned out that not all of you were dead." Laurel said.

"Thanks for that. I am glad that we didn't lose everything." Thea said.

"So, are you ready to go home?" The doctor said as he stuck his head in the door.

"Yes, I am looking forward to sleeping in a bed for the first time in years." Thea said and everyone laughed.

"Well, I will bring you the paperwork and then you are free to go." The doctor said.

"Thank you, doctor." Oliver said.

When they arrived at the Queen Mansion, Raiza was waiting at the door for them. "I am so glad to see you Mr. Oliver and Ms. Thea." Raiza said.

"It is good to see you too Raiza." Oliver said.

"Your rooms are set up and ready whenever you are ready for them." Raiza said.

"Thank you Raiza. Boy have I missed you. You will be happy to know that we have learned to be more self-sufficient now that we have live alone for five years though." Thea said.

"Doesn't matter. I will still work for you just as I did before." Raiza said.

"If that is what you want. We won't turn you away." Oliver said and Raiza smiled.

The siblings went to their rooms so that they could drop off their crates that had their gear in them. Once they were done with that they walked back downstairs to where Laurel was waiting for them. As soon as they got to the bottom of the stairs the front door opened and Tommy walked in.

"I am so glad that both of you are alive. I have missed you so much. It is like I finally have my brother and sister back" (In this story Thea is Robert's daughter and not Malcolm's). Tommy said.

"It is good to see you too. You are looking as sexy as ever." Thea said.

Tommy blushed and then said, "Since when did you start seeing me in that way?"

"Oh, I always did. I just wasn't able to voice my opinion then because of my age." Thea said.

"Thea, what the hell. You never talked like this before." Oliver said.

"I was worried about surviving for the past five years. I don't have to think like that anymore. Plus, I am your sister. I did learn a few things from you." Thea said.

"That's not a good thing. I was hoping you wouldn't pick that up from me." Oliver said.

"Ollie, I know you were a bit of a flirt, but you were always good to me. So, what she picked up can't be that bad." Laurel said.

"I guess not." Oliver said with a smile.

They all walked into the dining room and ate dinner and talked about all the stuff that Oliver and Thea missed while they were gone. Laurel told them that she had taken off the rest of the week from work so that she could get them back in the hang of things. Tomorrow they were going to tour the city with Tommy. Oliver and Thea were hoping to get a look at the old steel factory that they were planning on using for their base of operations.

That night Laurel decided that she was going to stay at the mansion with Oliver. They ended up making love for a few hours, which was pretty good considering that neither of them had had sex in five years. When they were done, they heard a knock at the door. Thea asked, "Are you two done?"

"Yes Speedy, we are done. What do you need?" Oliver asked with a smile as Laurel was blushing.

"I am not used to sleeping alone. Can I sleep in your room?" Thea asked.

"Sure, I didn't even that. The bed is big enough for all of us." Oliver said.

"No, I think I will sleep in the floor. I don't want to sleep in that mess that y'all have made." Thea said with a smile making Laurel blush even more.

"Ok, here's a pillow." Oliver said as he threw it to her.

"Thanks." Thea said as she laid down and they all went to sleep.
