Adam Hunt

|Queen Mansion|

Oliver leaves the house, intending to start building his new secret hideout when Moira stops him after exciting the front door.

"Oliver, come here I want to introduce you to someone, John Diggle. He'll be accompanying you from now on." Moira says.

"I don't need a babysitter." Oliver replies.

"Darling, Oliver is a growing man and if he feels he doesn't need our protection we should try…" Walter argues.

"No, I understand but this is something I need." Moira pleads to Oliver, getting him to agree with the bodyguard.

"So, what do I call you?" Oliver asks his driver and bodyguard.

"Diggle's good. Dig if you want." Diggle replies.

"You're ex-military?" Oliver questions.

"Yes sir. I was in the 5th Airborne out of Kandahar but retired and have been in the private sector for over 4 years now. I don't want there to be any confusion Mr. Queen my ability to protect you from harm will far outweigh your comfort. Do we have an agreement?" Diggle says and then hears the back door of the car open and shut. Turning around he sees Oliver gone and stops the car, gets out and looks for signs of Oliver but can't find him anywhere.

|hideout|

Oliver slipped out during Diggle's story and made his way over to his fathers abandoned Steel industry and goes in, where he sets up an underground hideout for his alter ego, complete with various computers and workout opportunities.

Turning on the TV Oliver sees a news story covering the prosecution of Adam Hunt, the case in which Laurel is involved and decides to start his mission to get rid of everyone poisoning his city with him.

|parking garage|

Adam Hunt is walking to his car followed by two bodyguards while ordering one of his men what to do regarding the upcoming prosecution.

"You remind growl, I put him on the bench and I can take him off. It will turn him into a cautionary man." Hunt says.

"Yes Mr. Hunt." The underling replies.

"And this attorney Laurel Lance, you said she wasn't going to be a problem anymore. I told you to fix that situation. Why are you still here?" Hunt tells him angered, making the man hurry of to carry out his boss's orders.

A few seconds later something strikes the light above the now remaining three men, making it fail in a shower of sparks. Almost simultaneously the bodyguard to Hunt's left gets hit in the chest by an arrow.

"Get in the car!" the other bodyguard yells, covering Adam Hunt while he hurries inside the car. The man then turns around, shooting in the direction he assumes the attack came from until he too gets hit by two arrows with the silent exclamation "You missed!"

Oliver, dressed in a black-green leather outfit with a hood then fires an arrow through the back window of the car before pulling Adam Hunt out of the vehicle through the newly created hole, throwing him to the floor of the garage while kneeling on his car's hood with his bow ready to release a fatal arrow at Adam Hunt.

"Woah. Look, just tell me what you want." Adam Hunt pleads, raising his hands in front of him.

"You're gonna transfer 40 million dollars into Starling City bank account 1141 by 10 pm tomorrow." Oliver demands, holding Adam Hunt up by his collar after jumping off the car.

"Or what?" Mr. Hunt asks scared.

"Or I'm gonna take it and you're not gonna like how." Oliver replies.

"I see you again, you're dead!" Mr. Hunt threatens the now leaving Oliver who responds with an arrow piercing the windshield directly next to Adam Hunt.

|Hunt's office|

Mr. Hunt is explaining what happened to the police in his office while pacing up and down nervously.

"He was wearing a hood, a green hood and he had a bow and arrow."

"What you don't believe me? That maniac put two of my men in the hospital." Adam Hunt says, seeing the incredulous look on Detective Lance's face and hands him and his partner an arrow.

"Well, thanks for your statement, I will put out an APB on Robin Hood?" Quentin Lance says sarcastically.

"Hey pal, I'm not some grocer who got taken for his register. I go to the front of the line. Now he said he'd be back here by 10 pm, make sure you're here first. You can coordinate with Mr. Drakon, my new head of security." Adam Hunt tells them demandingly.

"Alright, well thanks for your time." Quentin says before he and his partner leave the office.

"Looks like Queen was telling the truth." Lucas Hilton, Quentin's partner says.

"Yeah well, if this hooded guy comes looking for trouble he'll find it." Quentin says, getting in the elevator with Lucas.

|party|

Oliver arrives at his 'back from the dead' party, having Diggle keep a close eye on him ever since he left the house after he slipped away from him earlier to build his hideout.

The music is already playing, the whole floor is crowded until Tommy sees him making his way down the stairs leading to the dancefloor and signals the DJ to cut the music, making everyone look at them while he yells "Everybody, hey-hey-hey. Man of the hour!" patting Oliver on his shoulder.

Making everyone at the party cheer for Oliver, while 'we are the champions' starts to play during Oliver's walk over to the main stage, getting on and shouting "thank you very much everybody." Before receiving a drink from Tommy. Downing the shot he turns to the crowd and shouts "I missed tequila!" making everyone cheer excitedly and start dancing again when the music turns back on.

After getting off the stage Tommy sees Diggle observing Oliver and asks him "Hey, is he waiting for you too? Now by my rough estimate you haven't had sex in 1839 days. As your wingman I highly recommend Carly Golden." Turning Oliver around so he can see who Tommy is referring to.

"Which one is she?" Olvier asks, looking at the three dancing women his friend pointed out to him.

"The one that looks like the chick from Twilight." Tommy answers.

"What`s Twilight?" Oliver questions.

"So better off not knowing." Tommy tells him, and Oliver looks around till he sees his sister talking to someone before getting handed a small pack of drugs.

"I'll be back in a minute." Oliver informs his best friend and walks over to Thea with Diggle following him.

"Ollie, hey this party is sick." Thea greets her brother.

"Who let you in here?" Oliver asks.

"I believe it was somebody who said right this way Mrs. Queen." Thea jokes.

"You shouldn't be here." Oliver tells her.

"Ollie, I'm not twelve anymore." Thea protests annoyed at her brother.

"No, you're seventeen." Oliver argues.

"Oliver I love you but can't come back here and judge me. Especially for being just like you." Thea says.

"I know that it couldn't have been easy for you when I was away." Oliver says.

"Away? No, you died. My brother and my father died, I went to your funerals." Thea tells him.

"I know." Oliver says disappointed.

"No, you don't! Mom had Walter and I had no one. You guys all act like it's cool. Forget about the last five years, but I can't. For me it's kinda permanently in there, so I'm sorry if I turned out be some major disappointment, but this me it's the best I could do with what I had to work with." Thea says upset and walks away with her friends.

A few moments later Thea and her friends want to take the drugs, but Thea finds them missing.

Oliver had snatched the drugs from his sister's bag and throws them in a trash can, once he gets there he sees Ryan standing there looking at him.

"Who was that? Your sister?" Ryan asks him.

"Yes, why?" Oliver asks defensively.

"Nothing, but wise decision with the drugs. I've seen first hand how they can mess up a person and their family." Ryan replies.

"Aha, why are you here by the way? We only met this morning." Oliver asks surprised.

"Laurel dragged me along." Ryan tells him pointing over to her.

Oliver starts to go over to her, but Ryan stops him, whispering "Hurt her and I'll break your legs." Before letting Oliver past so he can see Laurel.

"You do that." Oliver says slightly amused.

"Hey, you're here." Oliver says getting Laurel's attention.

"Tommy, he made the point that we have to much history between us to leave things the way we left them. Is there some place quieter we could go?" Laurel asks before getting lead to a quieter spot by Oliver.

Ryan seeing his sister taking off decides to wander around and a quarter hour later he bumps into Thea Queen, making her fall to the floor.

"Hey, watch where you're going." Thea says annoyedly sounding at least a bit tipsy, a few drinks away from being full on drunk.

"Sorry, I didn't watch where I was going. Thea, right?" Ryan apologizes, helping her up.

"Should I know you?" Thea asks looking at Ryan's face closely.

"No, I suppose not. I'm Ryan Atwood, a friend of Laurel Lance's she dragged me along to the party." Ryan informs her.

"Is that why your dress code is so off? I mean a wife beater and jeans to a party, really?" Thea questions disapprovingly.

"Well it didn't come up in which neighborhood the party was, this isn't usually my scene." Ryan replies feeling a bit embarrassed.

"No kidding." Thea says amused.

"Laurel is a defense attorney, right? Are you her client?" Thea asks.

"No, I'm her co-worker and roommate." Ryan replies.

"Huh, well see you around Ron." Thea says, walking off.

"It's Ryan and do you need some help getting home?" Ryan offers concerned about her because of her drunken state.

"No, I'll get a cab to take me." Thea replies before disappearing into the crowd.

With Laurel and Oliver

"I'm sorry for saying that you should have been the one to die, that was wrong." Laurel apologizes to Oliver.

"If I could trade places with her I would." Oliver replies.

"About Sarah. There is something that I've been afraid to ask but I need to know, when she died did she suffer?" Laurel asks dreadfully.

"No." Oliver replies calmly.

"I think about her every day." Laurel confesses.

"Me too." Oliver says.

"I guess we still have one thing in common then. I can't believe I'm gonna say this but if you need someone to talk to, about what happened to you I'm here." Laurel says before Oliver's phone rings and he checks it, seeing that it's 10 pm and Adam Hunt didn't pay up.

"Something wrong?" Laurel asks seeing the disappointed expression on his face.

"I asked somebody to do something, they didn't do it. Laurel, you always saw the best in me, right now that's what you're doing. Looking at me and wondering if the Island changed me, somehow made me a better person. It didn't, stay away from me otherwise I'm just gonna hurt you again and this time would be worse. Got to roll, I got five years of debauchery to catch up on." Oliver tells her.

"Know what Oliver, you're wrong the island did change you. At least now you're honest." Laurel tells him before walking away disappointed.

After Laurel left Oliver tries to sneak away unnoticed but Diggle finds him.

"Something I can help you with Sir?" Diggle asks, leaning on a doorway.

"I just want a second to myself." Oliver replies.

"I'd believe you Mr. Queen if you weren't so full of crap. Party is this way" Diggle tells him, pointing at the door next to him.

Oliver goes to the door, uses the doorknob, pretending to want to open it and tells him "It's locked."

Diggle reaches for the doorknob, when Oliver takes him in a chokehold until Diggle passes out.

|Hunt's building|

After putting the passed-out Diggle in a secure spot Oliver gets into his costume and sneaks into the Hunt building, making the lights short out and arrives at Hunt's office floor by elevator.

Once the elevator door opens Oliver releases the first arrow, hitting a guard holding a machine gun and attacks the two people right next to the elevator doors, hitting them with his bow a few times until they drop down. He then throws his bow in the face of an incoming guard before jumping off a wall, jumping on another guard, wrestling him to the ground and picks up his bow again while dodging shots from the remaining guard in the room.

A few second after the guards magazine was empty he throws the guard through the glass doors of Adam Hunt's office, making the guards in that room open fire on their comrade.

Oliver then uses their confusion and fires an arrow at a guard across the room and punches the guard next to the broken door with his bow two times and fires a tech arrow at Adam Hunt's wall.

"You missed." Adam Hunt says.

"Really?" Oliver asks and then gets attacked by Hunt's chief of security. He knocks Olivers bow out of his hands and starts to hit Oliver, who blocks the punches until he grabs the attackers arm and throws him into the glass table in the room, afterwards he chokes him with his thighs, but the man manages to free himself.

In the meantime, Adam Hunt sneaked away and informed the police squad that the hood has arrived.

Getting up Drakon takes out a knife and tries to slash Oliver but he sidesteps and uses Drakon's momentum to throw him against a wall. Oliver then punches Drakon a few times before he dislocated Drakon's shoulder, who loses his knife but is in arm's reach of a machine gun lying on the floor. Drakon picks it up and fires at Oliver, who uses a special mini arrow, basically an arrowhead with a 2-3inch shaft and kills Drakon with it, hitting him in the neck while he jumps over a table, dodging the incoming gunfire. After landing on the ground hard Oliver loses consciousness for a few seconds before waking up to the police storming the room.

Oliver shoots an arrow at the first officer, making most back away except for Quentin Lance who opens fire on Oliver who is running towards the windows, jumping out of one and uses a zipline to the building across the street, he prepared beforehand to get back to the party and dodge the police.

|party|

The police then leave Hunt's building and immediately go over to Oliver's party, interrupting it to look for the hooded killer.

"Oh Mr. Merlin imagine my shock to find you here. Did you rufy anyone special tonight?" Quentin asks Tommy.

"Detective. This is a private party." Oliver, who changed back into his normal clothes says going over to Quentin.

"Yeah well there has been an incident at Adam Hunt's building tonight, would you know anything about that?" Quentin asks Oliver who is playing dumb, asking "Who's Adam Hunt?"

"He's a millionaire bottom feeder, I'm kinda surprised you aren't friends." Quentin taunts.

"I've been out of town for a while." Oliver remarks.

"Yeah, well he just got attacked by the guy with the hood. The guy that saved your ass the other day." Quentin informs Oliver.

"The hood guy? To help you find him I'm gonna offer a reward. Hey everybody, two million dollars to anyone who can find a nutbar in a green hood." Oliver shouts, making the party goes cheer.

"Did you even try to save her? Did you even try to save my daughter?" Quentin asks Oliver enraged before Lucas Hilton and Ryan, who came up to them after seeing Quentin try to calm him down and lead him away from Oliver.

Oliver then goes up on a stage and yells "It's way too quiet in here this is a party!" getting the party started again.

|the next day|

Oliver transferred the money he stole from Adam Hunt with his tech arrow to multiple accounts of Hunt's victims.

Laurel and her colleague get phone calls about the victims of Hunt receiving an anonymous deposit in their bank accounts, making Laurel happy and thinking that there is a guardian angel out there, looking out for the city.
