.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.

[Calmly.]

Are you going to try to shoot me if I tell you that's your job?

private

[greenarrowed]

I might.

private

[tolaywaste]

Huh.

Well.

That's your job.

That's your sister?

private

[greenarrowed]

Yes.

private

[tolaywaste]

Okay. So what do you need to do to get back to her so you can help her?

private

[greenarrowed]

Isn't it your job to tell me that?

private

[tolaywaste]

Not really. It's my job to help you get there, and I can help you figure it out. But you know yourself better than I do and always will.

private

[greenarrowed]

Do you honestly think that if I had any idea, I'd still be here?

private

[tolaywaste]

I think you need to push yourself harder.

private

[greenarrowed]

What?

[tolaywaste]

You think what worked for you on the island's going to work for you here. It's not. I'm sorry, but it's just not. The sooner you get that through your head the sooner we can get you out of here.

private

[greenarrowed]

And what will? Making friends with everybody here? I'll pass. I don't care about making friends when the friends I already have are in danger.

private

[tolaywaste]

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?
