Carter's POV

"What are you doing here Phoenix? How did you get in here?" I asked our 17 year old foster brother.
"I can look like I'm 21 and I have fake ID, what about you?" he asked.

"we here after two weeks on the island and found some info about our real family." I said.

"what did you find out?"

"Oliver Queen is our brother."

"you look nothing like him." Phoenix stated as Courtney found us.

"we look like our mother you nuthead" Courtney said as we walked away in to the crowd.

"where should we stay tonight?" Courtney asked me.

"our old home?" I asked her.

"sure" and with that we jumped out of the same window as earlier and ran to the house we lived in 11 years ago. Luckily Mom thought for the future and bought us single beds instead of toddler beds when we were young. I hopped into my old bed and Courtney went into hers. I fell asleep instantly. In my dream, there was mum, dad, Oliver, Courtney and me, we were meeting Oliver for the first time, it was Courtney and my 2nd Birthday and Oliver was a teenager 15 or 16 maybe. I woke up and woke Courtney up, we went to McDonald's for breakfast.

"I'll take 2 hash browns with ketchup and a small OJ, please" I asked the guy at the cash register.

"And I'll take one serving of hotcakes with a small OJ." Courtney asked. We paid and got our food and sat down at a window booth. Once we finished we put our trash in a bin and walked down the street. A black car was behind us and wouldn't pass so I grabbed Courtney's arm and took her into an alleyway and winded around and hid in an abandoned buildings.

"Hey Carter?" Courtney asked.

"Yeah"

"We are hiding from someone right?"

"Yeah"

"Well look around... this place is full of windows, the walls are made of glass." Courtney showed me. "You just trapped us for the people who are following us." She pointed out the obvious.

"thanks, shut your mouth and prepare for a fight." I grimaced at her.

"If we die I blame you" she told me as our possible last words to each other.

"I love you" I nervously told her as we heard footsteps approaching. I grabbed my bow and arrows, Oliver came around the corner followed by Diggle. They walked in slowly as I raised my bow.
"We just want to talk." Diggle had his hands up.
"About what?" I asked them keeping the arrow aimed at them.
"we want to help you, both of you" He lowered his arms. I heard another lot of footsteps.
"dang it"
"you're dead Carter if we survive this you're still dead." Courtney growled grabbing her knife.
"I love you?" I nervously said preparing for the fight that was about to stir among us and a few other demons. Three women and what felt like 15 men came and attacked us. Diggle and Oliver helped us fight. After 30 minutes the battle finished and the four of us stayed standing.

"We were not ready for that" Courtney gave me a devil's look.

"If we weren't we would be there not here." I pointed to the ground. I ran out as Courtney ran after me with the knife still in her hand. I ran full speed for 5 blocks then started jogging for another 8 blocks. I sat down on a bus bench and caught my breath while a waited for Courtney. A nerdy looking guy around his early 20's maybe sat down beside me.

"Are you Carter Queen?" He asked me.

"Maybe" I responded walking away. Before I knew it I was under the nightclub from last night.

"What the?" I looked around. The same guy from the bus stop sat in the chair beside me eating a hamburger.

"I found him." He said taking another bite.

"I'm taking some blood samples you won't feel anything" the guy said seconds before disappearing, something stabbed Courtney, Oliver and I.

"Ow" the three of us grabbed our cheeks.
"Sorry" he nervously chuckled. "I'll take this back to the lab and put them through.
"Did Felicity tell you that our visitors don't know who you are?" Oliver asked him.
"Oh yeah, sorry"
"Carter, Courtney meet Barry Allen, he is..." Oliver started.
"The flash blah blah blah we've known for 2 years or so now, we are smart people, it's not rocket science" I said trying not to yawn. "Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?" I asked before my body burned up and everything went dark.

I woke up to everyone around me.
"What just happened?" I asked as Courtney tried to help me up but Barry and Oliver kept me down. "What's your problem?" I asked slightly annoyed.
"You could faint again if you stand up." Barry told me. He felt my head, rejecting his hand at lightning speed.
"You've have a high temperate, you're hotter then some of the fires in Central City." Barry told me, he felt Courtney's head but there was no reaction.
"You have some sort of cold, I can take him back to Central City to see Caitlin and bring him back here" Barry told Oliver.
"Ok"

Courtney's POV

"Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?" Carter asked, seconds before fainting, next thing I know Barry was over him after he caught Carter and slowed his fall.
"What just happened?" Carter asked his eyes flew open, I helped him up but Barry and Oliver stopped me. I glared at them. "What's your problem?" Carter asked in the tone I feel.
You could faint again if you stand up." Barry told him. He felt Carter's head, rejecting his hand at lightning speed.
"You've have a high temperate, you're hotter then some of the fires in Central City." Barry told him, he felt my head but there was no reaction.
"You have some sort of cold, I can take him back to Central City to see Caitlin and bring him back here" Barry told Oliver.
"Ok" Oliver said simply as Barry picked up Carter.
"Wait what am I going to do?" I asked distressed.
"You can stay here with Diggle, Oliver and me" Felicity told me. I bit my lip nervously.
"Don't worry Court I'll be fine we'll both be fine" carter said weakly.
"But remember what happened last time we were split up." I started to hyperventilate.
"Breathe Court, it shouldn't happen again. You have Olive..." Carter blacked out again. Barry sped away.
"CARTER" I screamed collapsing into Oliver. I cried into his shirt.
"What happened last time you were separated?" Oliver asked. Flashbacks of the man came, he walked by me grabbing my wrist as he passed, he dragged me into the dark side street.
"Don't please don't" I cried out.
"Shh I've got you" Diggle had me in his arms which didn't help since the man looked similar to Diggle. I pushed away from him and sunk to the floor curling into a ball.
"Did I hurt you? What did I do wrong?" He asked.
"Oliver bring her here" I heard Felicity as I was lifted off the ground and put onto a couch.
"Courtney you're safe now, we will protect you." Her soothing voice calmed me down. I stopped crying and she brushed the tears aside.
"Thanks" I told a deep breath. "Sorry for that scene, I was only 12, I was defenceless back then" I fought the tears.
"It's okay I know you don't have to go through it with us. Does Carter know what really happened?" She asked.
"No he only thinks he knows but it's worst then he can imagine" I told her leaning into her as she hugged me. "I've talked too much, I will never be as good as Carter" I sat up.
"He will be back in no time, why don't we get Thea and Laurel and the four of us get something to drink?" Felicity suggested.
"Ok, I've already met Thea but she and Hannah were drunk already so don't know if she remembers me." I told her.
"What?" Oliver asked.
"We met last night in the nightclub" I told them.
