by mindramblings Oliver Queen made peace with never returning home a long time ago. Starling City moved on without him, and he moved on without it. After a stint in prison, Oliver managed to pick himself up by the bootstraps, and left the past in the past. After all, it's been ten years. However, when he gets word that his mother is sick, the prodigal son returns. Oliver returns to town with a plan: keep a low profile and check on his mother until she’s well again. A wrench is thrown in his plan when he meets Felicity Kuttler, and she becomes the one bright spot in the midst of chaos. Maybe, Starling does have something to offer him after all. There is one problem though, Felicity is the girlfriend of his former best friend, Tommy Merlyn.
