.006 - here's a billionaire brat

[greenarrowed]

Really, if you're from Starling City, you know who I am and if you don't, then I don't really want to talk to you.

Sorry.

[Private to Alex]

Get me off this boat.

You don't need to make friends. You don't need to start a book club. You need to learn how to be a person again. Not a weapon.

private

[greenarrowed]

They need a weapon more than they need the old Oliver back.

private

[tolaywaste]

You think that's what your sister would say?

private

[greenarrowed]

[fuck you :c]

I can't be Oliver and keep her safe.

private

[tolaywaste]

She's not safe now. She's scared. What you were doing then, that probably scared her too. You have to find another way to keep her safe.

private

[greenarrowed]

There is no other way.

Going back the Oliver she's expecting is only going to hurt her more.

[Because all he does is hurt the people he loves :c]

private

[tolaywaste]

Why do you think that?

private

[greenarrowed]

[He's silent for so long that Alex might think he just noped out of the conversation.]

You've read my file. You know the person I used to be.

private

[tolaywaste]

You can be better than he was without being what that island made you.

private

[greenarrowed]

The island didn't make me into anything.

[He chose it, he chose to be like this because it's kept him alive.]

private

[tolaywaste]

No. You're right, my mistake. You made yourself into that.

If it were me, I'd take pretty much anything over someone who lied to me all the time.

private

[greenarrowed]

I don't lie all the time.

private

[tolaywaste]

No? What do you tell her the truth about?

private

[greenarrowed]

She's part of what kept me alive on that island.

And I hate that she's following in my foot steps.

private

[tolaywaste]

That's not an answer.

private

[greenarrowed]

It's enough.

private

[tolaywaste]

There's no such thing as enough when it comes to family.

private

[greenarrowed]

Do you think I enjoy it?

private

[tolaywaste]

I think you're miserable.

private

[greenarrowed]

[Your point >|]

You aren't as dumb as you sound then.

private

[tolaywaste]

Yeah, I try.

So find a way not to be, find a way to keep her safe without ruining your life and hers. Or you can keep sitting on your ass and stay here forever.

private

[greenarrowed]

How am I supposed do that when she isn't here?

private

[tolaywaste]

You're not as dumb as you act. She's your sister. You can figure out how to protect her.

And I'm here to help. I want to help. I don't know if you believe that or not, but I don't want her to be alone anymore than you do.

private

[greenarrowed]

[He has figured out how to protect her. As the vigilante. That's the best he's got and even then it doesn't feel like enough.]

How am I supposed to protect her from our mother?
