Star City : 3am

He usually has the dream. Its the same dream he gets every few nights and its been like this the last few years for him. In it he watches as a young boy at 1st is playing , happy. Things are very good and then the boy soon sees blood pouring from his hands. Soon enough his face is nothing but blood and his eyes are gone . Just black empty orbs as he asks "why did you let me die ?"

"Aghhh !!" screamed Oliver Queen as his body was wracked with sweat. He wipes his forehead and tries to calm himself . A trip to the bathroom happens and he stares at himself in the mirror a long while.

Same , fucking dream. Why can't I get peace ? Maybe I'm in hell and don't deserve peace for my sins. Yeah , old man...the only peace you'll get is when you die. Thats what you deserve.

With that thought Oliver Queen silently goes back to his bed. He opens a book by Charles Dickens content on letting what he reads help him to get some slumber. To put the horrible dream behind him again. Like he usually does when this happens. And like clockwork it soon works as he drifts back to a sleep not interrupted by nightmares.

**************************************************

The next morning : Queen Youth Center

Putting away nightmares , Oliver Queen opens his youth center early. He'll watch as the nieghborhood kids ease in to shoot baskets outside now since its warm. He offers them a safe haven from the gangs that plague Star City and he hopes they can avoid it.

"Ok , Mr. Q ...I done emptied the trash bins. Anything else I am forced to be a slave for you ?" the young 15 yearold girl asked.

There is some like young Mia Dearden who due to repeat juvenile arrests are forced to do community service at the youth center. In Mia's case she is a prostitute who needs a chance at a life beyond it. And if Oliver has to be play hard father figure he will.

"You could always go to juvenile hall or the child orphanage that they pushed for you. Or you could be pleased to empty some garbage and perhaps enjoy your work here." Oliver said in a sarcastic mood.

"Man you suck , Mr.Q. I mean , you honestly think that this place can save people like me ? Have you walked out in the streets lately ?" Mia asked in a defiant tone.

She reminds me of myself in a way. Defiant , bull headed and wrong. And making a ton of mistakes that could cost her. Gotta try though. Its all I can do.

"The 1st worst thing is to accept failure , Mia. If your always gonna think of failure then what is the point to try ?" Ollie asked while Mia rolled her eyes.

"Ok there ya go again Mr. Miyagi . Talking that whole , wax on...wax off bullshit." Mia said.

Oliver smiled as he wanted to laugh at this whole exchange but saw his prize pupil walking his way. 16 yearold Jerome Hawkins. Ever since he was 12 Jerome had came to the youth center to escape his troubled life. His mom was a crack addict. His father had left years earlier and poor Jerome seemed destined to watch his life end up on the streets.

"Yo , Mr.Queen ! You see my game last night ? 22 points and 10 rebounds ?" the big kid yelled as he hugged him.

"No , to be honest I don't have a TV. I did however read about it Jerome." Oliver replied .

"Your a trip old man. I mean , I got scouts from Star City Bolts all over me now. Pushing me to jump to the NBA at 18." Jerome said while he picked up a basketball and twirled it on his finger.

"And those grades ? I mean fame can be a fleeting thing . How are the grades , Jerome ?" Oliver asked as he stole the basketball back.

With a quick move the big young man reached into his pocket and handed Oliver Queen his report card. After a quick glance Oliver saw that his prize pupil had done very well.

"All B's except for this C- in Home-Ec. So you gonna fuck up things and jump or go to College and fix this hellhole ?" Oliver asked as that even made Mia laugh.

"College and then I come back and we team up with my NBA money and clean this place up , Mr. Queen." Jerome said as he high fived the older man.

"See Mia. Jerome is gonna team up with me and save this city !" Oliver yelled in joking truimph.

"God , you 2 deserve each other. I think I'm gonna be sick." Mia answered back. She started to walk back inside the youth center.

'Ohh Mia ...for that Mr. Miyagi crack , you can now wash and wax the old youth center van." Oliver said . This didn't please Mia who reacted with a swear word under her breath as she walked off.

"So you helpin another troubled kid huh , Mr. Queen. I heard that girl has quite a reputation." Jerome said while the 2 walked .

"So you had a reputation when you came to me. Mia is a lot like you when you 1st came here. If I can keep her off the streets and show her a future is out there , she'll fly right." Oliver said.

"Thats the thing about you , dude. You always claimed we as kids could shape this world in a way we see fit. When I do go to college , I'll miss you man." Jerome said .

"Quit it , or you'll make me all weepy ." Oliver joked . The 2 laughed as they watched the kids play basketball. The day was going along very well. It couldn't get much better .


END OF PART 1#

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Outside the youth center , unknown to Oliver Queen was parked a black car. They were the backup for the person who came down the street on a bike. This young man wore a long hoody and walked up to the fence of the youth center and started to chat with the kids.

"Gotta watch the owner , T-Ball . Guys a real hard ass. He usually chases us off . " the driver said into the walkie talkie.

The passenger sit back and cocked his crooked hat some , "Told ya , we should blast this fucker . He's ruining business , man. Guy like that makes it hard to get bling."

"Shut up Squeaky ! You know the KING has said we can't do that. We kill that dude , we get the KING pissed at us. Were just his KNIGHTS ya know." the driver said .

"Never knew when I joined the Dragons , we'd have a leader who believes in these crazy names he calls us. Calling us his KNIGHTS and shit. I think the dude has been smokin dis shit , Ray." Squeaky said.

They watched as the boy in the hood started to make a few sales to the kids there. Soon enough while Oliver Queen was inside going thru paperwork , his prize pupil spotted this deal going down . He walked over and pushed the young dealer as the 2 in the car watched.

"Get outta there T-Ball !" Ray the driver yelled over the walkie talkie.

Of course Jerome had his hands hooked tight around the young punk as some kids started yelling. Inside the place Oliver Queen heard this and started to come out. T-Ball getting scared tried wiggling free , his bandanna with a big scarlet D on it coming off in Jerome's hands . No one saw the gun come out as the loud pop sound made the kids scream.

Oliver Queen heard and reconized the sound as he ran. Outta the corner of his eye he saw the kid in the hoody run and jump into a black car. The little kids had said Jerome had been shot and as Oliver arrived he saw the young man had been . And the blood was pouring out onto the concrete.

"Call 911 ! Jerome...hold on ok.." Oliver said as he bowed down beside him , holding him. The blood coming off on his hands as the young boy coughed.

"C-can't feel my legs , gettin cold Mr. Queen. G-Guess ...I won't be ....cleaning the city...up with you....why do...gotta die for ?" he asked low and then faded away. Oliver held him as he closed his eyes and tried to think of a prayer for him .

The police and ambulance sirens didn't help and soon Oliver's mind was in choas as he held the young man's limp body. No one said a word as Mia watched and saw the grief stretch across the face of Oliver Queen.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Days later : Star City Cementery

For the funeral for Jerome , his highschool basketball team came out as did some friends and remote family. Oliver stared as he watched the casket. Mia had went and saw that for the last few days Oliver Queen hadn't said barely 2 words.

Jerome deserved better. He was 16 for christs sake. Thats way too young to bury someone. Way to young to watch him die in the streets like some dog. I have saw people die , I swore I left that life behind me. Maybe....maybe I can't. Can't get Jerome outta my head....why ?!!

Damn it....I'm feeling all that old hate return. That thirst for vengence. To make those who put Jerome in the ground pay for their sins. I...I shouldn't be here.

Mia watched her boss turn and walk off down the city blocks. Not drive himself back to the youth center where he lived. She had started to wonder if perhaps this had broken the proud defiant man she had came to work for .

Another thought crossed her mind as she wondered who would drive the van back .

The Kingdom of the Dragons

The street gang known as the Dragons had gained power over the years. They owned a lot of the Star City turf as they called it and seemed content on growing their empire. The leader himself had read a book on King Arthur and named his close inner gang "Knights" .

His real name was gone. Instead he refered to himself as the King. He wore a long red robe , bright rings on his fingers and carried a cepter. There was also his gold platted teeth that he wore which made him an odd figure.

He even had a round table and forced his men to wear their bandanna's like sash's in a old way. With the letter D on there. His gang knew he was very odd but he's also very evil. The last few who had dared mock the KING on how he ran his gang ended up being sliced by a chainsaw , which the KING had called "Excalibur".

"So how goes recruitment on the West side , KNIGHT Ray ? We must gather our forces to drive out those we call , MP Dogs." the KING said.

"Our forces grow every day. We get the 11 and 12 yearolds hooked to our way of life. We show em glory and all the women they could want. The MP Dogs will soon be destroyed and your reign will unite the empire." Ray said while the KING nodded.

"How goes our product. Report in KNIGHT Demascus." the KING demanded.

"Coke is going well , herion as well. Prostitution is good for the lst 6 months. That new drug DMZ is selling well at launch. There were some problems but things have evened out. But soon our profits from it shall fund the gun tech we need to wipe the other gangs out , sire. " Demascus said.

"Good and soon .... no one will dare oppose us. We shall rule Star City and create an empire !" the KING yelled . His smile showing his gold platted teeth.

That night


Mia had been forced to walk back to the youth center as well . She had waited til the funeral service had ended and came back. Part of her was angry at Mr.Queen for leaving her to walk as well. The other part felt a sadness for him.

"Mr.Queen , hey....you in here ?" she asked . She flipped on a light as an arrow came shooting by her as she screamed.

"Your gonna ruin my concentration , Mia. " Oliver said in a cold icy tone.

"You could have killed me !" Mia yelled . Then she noticed the weird green costume he wore .

"No , if I wanted to kill you , you'd have died the moment you walked in." he answered . Mia turned and saw a punching bag with the bandanna clipped on it.

"You taking target practice late at night in a Halloween costume ?" Mia asked.

"Yeah . Who wears bandanna's like that ?' Oliver asked.

"The Dragon's . They own a lot of Star City's turf ya know. Back when my boyfriend Troy was working for them , they got a cut from that . The Dragon's are bad news. Their leader is sorta insane." Mia answered.

"Hmmm interesting. So they run more than prostitution I'm sure." Oliver said.

'Yeah they handle a lot of the drug trade. Why you asking about the Dragon's and dressed up like Robin Hood ?" she asked.

"Because Mia , I've been gone far too long. I've let innocent people die like Jerome. And I've let the scum run the streets . Its time I took a more proactive stance and took care of things." he said .

"Proactive ? Whats that mean ?" Mia asked.

"It means , Mia.... I am going to Kill every member of the Dragons !" Oliver said while he fired an arrow. Mia stared in shock at this statement.
