2046?
I sighed as I waited for them to come back on the ship. While waiting I decided to try what I did at the prison. I had never used telekinesis before.
"Alright spoon...stir." I waved my hand at the spoon and nothing happened. I groaned and leaned my head against the counter. Sighing I picked up my head and started to spin one of my fingers clockwise over the spoon. I was clearing all thoughts in my head but the spoon moving.
Slowly the spoon started to move and I smiled until it got faster.
"Shit." I stopped and grabbed the spoon, stopping it. I sighed and shook my head.
"Ms. Melody the team has returned." Gideon told me and I walked to the bridge with my tea.
"Alright, Rip. Tell us the truth." Sara said and I blinked.
"You've all seen how the timeline is malleable in flux until it is set. Well, this future is not set." Rip explained. The sparks from the ship made everyone look at it. While they were out exploring wherever we are I had gotten use to it. "Remember when I told you it was dangerous for any of you to know too much about your own futures? Well, the events that you dread could very well come to be due to your actions to prevent them."
"You know what I think?" Mick asked. "I think you think too much." I smiled softly and sipped my tea.
"Believe me when I tell you that the best thing for yourselves and for this mission is to make the repairs to the Waverider here in 2046, then head back to your own time and make sure that none of this ever comes to be." Everyone was silent.
"Where exactly are we?" I asked and Sara turned to me.
"Star City, 2046." I blinked and turned to go out of the ship. "Roni! Oliver's not there..."
"What are you talking about Sara?" I asked turning around to her. "Oliver is here....I know it!" I yelled and felt tears coming to my eyes.
"We met a Green Arrow...but it wasn't Oliver." I shook my head. "Roni..." I felt arms wrap around me. "Don't cry....remember what Rip said...this isn't set in stone." I nodded softly in Sara's embrace. She knew how much Oliver meant to me. "Why don't you go lay down?"
"No...I'm fine." I told her before leaving her arms and walking to the kitchen. I just slumped against the wall and let my tears fall. It didn't matter that this wasn't set in stone, if Oliver was gone there was a chance so was everyone I loved. With this being 2046 there was a chance Barry was still missing since I never found out when he came back.
"Birdie?"
"Blackbird!" I sighed wiping my eyes.
"She's probably in the kitchen." Mick's voice said and they walked in. "Told ya."
"Hey....you okay?" Leonard asked kneeling down next to me.
"Fine." He scoffed and decided to sit next to me. Mick was leaning on the counter looking down at us.
"No you're not. So Oliver is Green Arrow huh?" I blinked and didn't even say anything. "Sara told you we ran into a Green Arrow that wasn't Oliver. Why is he so important to you?"
"He...he was the only one who was always there for me..."
"She's not lying." Sara's voice came out and she walked into view. "Sorry Roni I know you wanted to be left alone..." Leonard smirked at Sara. She rolled her eyes.
"You'll see him again." Mick said and I looked up at him. "If Rip is right you will see him again." I smiled softly and felt the tears coming back.

I walked in with Sara as Rip was talking to Mick and Leonard.
"We're coming with." She said walking over to her staffs while I had my bow and arrows already on.
"No, no you both are not. Sara you are too emotionally connected to the city, and Veronica you are too emotional because of Mr. Queen. We've been over this!" Rip said when he noticed we weren't backing down.
"I'm over you. You got us on a mission to change the timeline for yourself. And you won't even let us look at our futures? Now, I know this city better than anyone else, and Roni was trained by Oliver. You're gonna need us out there. So either we're coming with, or we can find out if the Time Masters are as good at teaching people to fight as the League of Assassins."
"Your choice." I smirked after Sara finished her speech. Rip gulped and opened the door but I could see he was not happy. Sara and I walked out first. I stopped all of a sudden when we walked out.
"Roni." Sara said my name and I nodded following her. As we walked through the streets I felt an urge to go to the Arrow Cave. If Oliver ever heard me call it that he would rub my head till it hurt.
"Sara will you guys be okay? I want to look around."
"Veronica I highly suggest you stay with us." Rip said and I rolled my eyes.
"Be careful?" She asked and I nodded.
"Always." With that I split off from the group. The first place I decided to was Oliver's Campaign office. I sighed looking at the broken door and windows. It hurt my heart seeing it like this but I kept on my course. I walked over to the elevator and pressed the button. The door opened and I stepped in.
There was no light once I reached the Arrow Cave. Everything was broken and I had to hold back my tears.
"Get out!" A rough voice said and I just drew back my bow with an arrow already in hand. "Get out!"
"Show yourself!" I yelled and out of the shadows came Oliver, his left arm was replaced by a mechanical one. "Ollie..." I lowered my bow and he looked so old.
"Roni?" He walked closer and I completely dropped my bow and ran over to him. He hugged me softly and sighed. "What are you doing here?" He asked me.
"It's a long story." I told him hugging me tight.
"I've got time." He said releasing me. I sighed and followed him to his little living space.
"You've been living here?"
"Yeah. A lot has changed since Sara, Ray, and you went on your little trip. However I want to know why you are here." I smiled and sat on his lap making him smile. We used to do this all the time. "You haven't changed much."
"Not really...I missed you like crazy but I made two friends."
"Your flower kept dropping petals a lot. So Sara and Ray didn't do a good job watching you then." I rolled my eyes and he laughed a little wrapping his arms around my waist.
"You didn't need to have them protect me Ollie." He smiled and kissed my forehead as he always had. "Anyways the two friends are criminals...and before you say anything they have been protecting me like crazy so you'll like them." I told him when I saw the glare.
"Who are they?"
"Leonard Snart and Mick Rory." He sighed and gave me a hard look. "Shush you. Do you want to hear or not?"
"Alright." I smiled brightly and he laughed a little.

After I had told Oliver all about my adventures.
"So which one do you like?" He asked and I blushed instantly.
"What?"
"Which one do you like?" I blinked and hid my head in his chest making him laugh. "Come on Roni, I know you."
"I don't know...Ollie I really don't. Both of them make me feel so safe and secure. They both don't want anything to happen to me." He smiled and shook his head.
"Guess I'll meet them one day in my past." I smiled and nodded. "You know I'm always going to protect you right?"
"I know Ollie." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "I should probably go meet up with my team."
"How about you stay here?" He asked and I laughed but agreed. I didn't know the next time I would see Oliver. Just because this wasn't my time's Oliver didn't mean it wasn't Oliver.

Time to switch it up with a different POV
Leonard's POV
I sighed as we sat in the bar of the gang Mick somehow won. I was secretly worried about Veronica, though I wouldn't admit it. I walked over to Mick who was standing on a table handing out names.
"Your highness, can I get a moment of your time, please?" I asked wanting to slap him over the head. He looked around before answering me.
"Sure." He walked down from the table and I rolled my eyes. "Ah, isn't the future great?" He asked me.
"We really should be getting back to Rip and Sara so we can all find Veronica." I told him as we walked to the bar.
"I understand finding Roni but why the others?" He asked and I blinked a little. Since when did he start calling her that? Maybe I should try it on her.
"Cause I'm not looking to put down roots here." I said getting a little angry. I didn't know where Veronica was and I shouldn't have let her go off by herself.
"Why not? It's everything we've ever wanted. I got a gang that does everything I tell them to. I got a fur coat. I got a chalice. Speaking of." Mick held his cup to the bartender who filled up.
"What about stopping Savage?" I asked him after rolling my eyes.
"What about it? You're the one who said we're in this for the score, remember? We could live like kings here...and Roni a queen." He added and I saw the look in his eyes. I couldn't believe we liked the same girl. "No cops, no heroes just some fool in a green hoodie. It's Christmas every day." A woman walked over and he smirked. "Ah, my sweet." He wrapped his arm around her.
"And again what about Veronica?" I asked seeing the woman on his arm. If he was like this now, how would he be if Veronica was in this room right now.
"She would be happy here. You and I both know she's told us she feels more comfortable with us than anyone." He responded and I sighed. She did say that but I doubted she would be happy here. When I didn't say anything he walked off with the woman on his arm. I was really starting to worry about her and I hated it.
"Where are you Blackbird." I whispered before getting a drink and sighed.

Veronica's POV
I sighed as I sat next to Oliver now, drinking tea he made me. He had taken his arm off a while ago and I felt bad after he told me how it happened.
"Figure out which one you have...." He stopped when we heard the elevator. "Stay here." I nodded and he walked out.
"Whoever's there, get out!" I heard him shout and instead of staying I grabbed my bow and headed to where he was hiding. "I told you to stay put." He whispered to me.
"Ollie, you taught me, I'm as good as you remember?" He sighed and nodded. I smiled glad he remembered teaching me how to perfect my shot when I came back from my two year vacation.
"I said get out." He was walking threw the shadows, me beside him with my bow aimed at the intruders until I saw Sara, then I lowered it. Oliver cocked his gun and I rolled my eyes staying where I was. "Whoever you are, get out." He walked to where they could see him.
"Oliver?" Sara asked shocked. He lowered his gun and I walked out.
"Hello, Sara. Long time, no see." He said and I walked out beside him.
"Hey guys!" I said happily making Oliver roll his eyes.
"Is that?" Rip asked and the man next to him answered.
"Oliver Queen." Oliver and Sara walked closer to each other.
"Everyone thinks that you're dead.."
"They're not wrong. Put the arrow down, John. You're embarrassing yourself." He said to the man I didn't know.
"John?" Rip asked.
"John Diggle Junior." I looked at the kid and smiled softly. The kid walked forward and took off his mask.
"My dad is dead because I couldn't save him. I don't deserve his name. I'm Connor Hawke." He said and I looked to see Oliver narrow his eyes.
"Ollie." I warned him but he just went ahead like I knew he would.
"So you won't take his name, but it's all right to parade around in someone else's outfit?" He asked him and I sighed.
"Well, someone has to, because last time that I checked, you were dead. Everyone thought you were dead. I've been trying to hold this city by myself because I thought you were gone." John, well Connor, said before walking off. I sighed softly. I knew Oliver felt guilty but he was broken right now.
"What happened to you? To Laurel, to my dad....Felicity?"
"They're gone. All of them." Oliver said not meeting her eyes.
"What do you mean? Ollie?"
"Gone." He whispered meeting her eyes. Sara looked sad, like I had when Oliver told me. "What do you want me to say Sara? 30 years ago, you, Ray, and Roni hopped on a spaceship...and you never came back."
"We will." Sara responded the same I already told Oliver.
"I don't want to say that things would have ended differently if you and Ray had been here, but..."
"But if we were, it could've made the difference." I sighed and Rip looked sad. I knew why Oliver hadn't mentioned me. He would have fought me tooth and nail to stay away, and he would have won.
"You thought I was dead. What are you doing here?" He asked turning away from them and stopping next to me.
"We were looking for a Neuromorphic Prototype that Felicity Smoak was working on." Rip said making Oliver face him.
"Felicity left after everything that happened. Everything her company was working on is being kept in a warehouse at Adams and O'Neil. Entry code is 4587."
"Thank you Mr..."
"You found your way in, find your way out." Oliver said walking back to his living space.
"Are you coming with us or staying with Ollie?" Sara asked and I smiled softly.
"Ollie needs me right now...Rip I promise to get back to the ship."
"You have your comlink?" Rip asked and I nodded. He sighed. "I'll contact you when we're almost ready to go. Good luck." He whispered and I nodded watching them leave.
