Chapter-18 Is green also a family tradition? (Rewritten)

As the saying goes, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. Whether it's his code name or his outfit, Oliver Queen appears inexperienced. Before becoming the Green Arrow, he was a real scumbag. Even after becoming the Green Arrow, his relationships with women changed significantly. Let's discuss two of his famous ex-girlfriends: Black Canary, Laurel Lance, and White Canary, Sara Lance.

Oliver Queen initially dated Laurel but secretly got involved with her sister, Sara. He went out to sea on a boat without informing Laurel, but unfortunately, the Queen's boat, which won a gold medal, sank accidentally. From that point on, he was technically declared 'dead.' His good friend and quasi-brother, Tommy Merlyn, took advantage of the void and pursued a relationship with Laurel. When Laurel discovered the affair with Sara, Oliver forgave her, only praising Sara in the process.

Sara survived and became the White Canary. Eventually, she became the leader of the Legends team. Consequently, her romantic preferences expanded to both men and women.

Like a white canary, she flaps her wings and soars.

A blend of attraction to both men and women in the realm of Green!

However, they are not the only heroes to focus on. What about the IT girl, Felicity Smoak, who transitioned to OverWatch? Could she be the real heroine? The two were separated and reunited. How many boyfriends did Felicity have during that time? Did the Green Arrow even care?

Therefore, Stephen believes that the Green Riding Hood is a smoother and more fitting alias than the Green Arrow. Then again, green may be a tradition in the Queen family.

After all, the Green Arrow's father was also associated with the color green. Hence, it is necessary to mention someone here: Tommy Merlyn's father, Malcolm Merlyn, known as the Black Arrow, who trained under a Master Ninja.

He is now the primary villain in Starling City.

Malcolm intentionally aimed to destroy the slums of Starling City to avenge his deceased wife. He orchestrated the accident that led to the sinking of the Queen's Gold Medal boat and inadvertently caused the birth of the Green Arrow. In the process, he also killed Oliver Queen's father.

That's the crux of the matter, but let's focus on something else. After five years, the slums of Starling City still existed? It is perplexing. They have been destroyed countless times, with even Gotham's villains participating. When Oliver Queen transforms into the Green Arrow, he relentlessly pursues the truth and eventually uncovers the mastermind behind the scenes, initiating the battle.

However, on his path of vengeance, his son Tommy Merlyn becomes entangled and loses his life.

The son is dead? No matter, he still has a daughter: Oliver Queen's half-sister, Thea Queen.

This fact is inconsequential; the statement makes a point.

With his daughter's assistance, Malcolm Merlyn is resurrected and begins preparing to train her. Through the use of hypnotic abilities, he tries to manipulate his daughter into killing Sara Lance, who had left the League of Assassins but later became its leader upon her resurrection. Unfortunately, Malcolm soon abdicates due to his lack of power. In the end, he is compelled to help Oliver Queen confront Prometheus and sacrifices himself to save his daughter.

Ultimately, both the father and son, Merlyn, embrace the green, and Stephen can only commend their bravery.

Unbeknownst to them, the car has arrived in Starling City. The city's style is modern, although it lacks the Gothic ambiance of Gotham. Nonetheless, it is equally dark. Various crimes unfold here incessantly, and the crime rate is comparable to that of Gotham. However, there is a notable difference: Starling City lacks the brilliance and exceptional villains that demand a second look.

"Where should I drop you off? Should I take you first?" Felicity turned to Stephen and asked.

"Take me to where you live."

Stephen shifted his gaze back to the scenery outside the window and smiled at Felicity.

"Huh?" Felicity was taken aback.

"Do you live alone?" Stephen asked again.

Felicity nodded subconsciously, feeling a bit uneasy. What did he mean by that? She only offered him a ride, not an invitation to stay.

Observing Felicity's nervousness, Stephen first smiled gently and then earnestly explained: "I'm from Gotham. You must have heard about the situation there, right? In Gotham, you don't need money at all. After all, why pay for something you can acquire through your own abilities?"

Felicity found his logic somewhat sensible but remained unsure.

"So, I don't have money at the moment, but I still need a place to stay. Maybe..." Stephen looked at Felicity. "Maybe I need a temporary shelter."

"I thought you were a good person..." Felicity trembled.

Stephen smiled. "Don't worry. Even though I don't have money right now, I can teach you a valuable lesson. Don't trust strangers so easily. You won't charge me rent, right? So, staying at your place for a few days shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Can I say it's a problem?" Felicity timidly asked.

"No!" Stephen beamed.

Felicity felt desperate. Why did she let him ride with her? What should she do now? First, deal with him, and then find an opportunity to call the police. Regretfully, Felicity drove the car in silence. After a few blocks, she parked the car on the side of the road.

"This is where I live," Felicity reluctantly said, turning off the car.

"Okay, then please get out of the car," Stephen smiled.

Felicity stepped out of the car, but she couldn't find a chance to take out her phone. Stephen approached, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, and headed towards the building. At that moment, Felicity regretted buying clothes instead of investing in a secure apartment.

Reluctantly, she and Stephen climbed the stairs.

The fifth floor.

Felicity felt exhausted and panting after ascending the five-story staircase. She had no energy left to run.

Reluctantly, she took out her key and opened the door. Stephen paused after entering, took a look around, and then spoke to her with utmost seriousness: "Ever since I arrived in this world, you are the first person who made me feel unsettled. Sigh, you... better tidy up your messy room first."
