Night consumed Star city, throughout the city life began to bustle faster than it did in the day. Young adults, college students, teens began running around, bouncing between clubs and bars. A life Oliver Queen didn't miss.

In a basement far from the busy clubs, Oliver sat playing with a photograph, memories dancing in his head. Children playing with a fancy new scooter, a toddler sitting by playing with dolls, the summer sun beating on them, just as fast as he could remember, the scene changed to the dark and cold forest surrounded by frozen water.

"Oliver." The male jumped from his seat, turning around to see Sara. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Oliver sighed. "Why are you here?"

"Felicity called, told me you were sad," The former assassin said. "I know what time of the year is" 

"I can't- I don't want to be upset" Oliver placed the photo on the table. "I don't deserve to be sad about it"

"You deserve to mourn just as much me or my dad" Sara walked over, "She loved you"

"I didn't deserve her love" Oliver scoffed.

"She was your daughter, Ollie" Sara placed her photo on the table.

"And Laurel left her to be protected by me," Oliver shook his head. "I failed"

"She wouldn't want you to do this to yourself" Sara pointed out.

"You don't know what she wanted" Oliver kicked his chair.

"You had to send her away," Sara said, staring down at the photos of her niece Dinah.

"I should be able to protect her better" Oliver leaned on the table. "Maybe if I wasn't an asshole 10 years ago, maybe if I was a good father! just maybe..."

"Maybe if you had chosen to save Shado instead of me," Sara said, "Maybe if your father had waited a few more hours before killing himself, maybe if you had chosen to come home after working with ARGUS. There are so many maybes that if you try and figure out all of them, your daughter would be grown up, married with children. You have to start living for her, and William"

"What am I supposed to do?" the male stared at the photos of his two children.

"Go to her" Sara stated, "The waverider is parked in a lot near your apartment, let's pick up my dad, Thea, William, why don't we go spend the day with her. It is her 15th birthday"

Oliver picked up his photo of Dinah Moira Lance-Queen, "Get me to my daughter"
