Summary: They weren’t going to find answers.
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] 500themes and [livejournal.com profile] daria234. 3/3/15-4/3/15. SPOILERS.

Her body wasn’t there. It was supposed to be; they had buried her in her grave after she had died. But her grave was empty. No signs she had ever been there. No signs that they had buried her.

Oliver was already on a warpath to find out who stole her body, ready to put an arrow into anyone who got in his way. He wasn’t thinking straight either. He’d get someone killed if he kept on as he was, rushing blindly in to find answers.

They weren’t going to find answers, though. Time had changed, had been reset. Things were different now. The truth was, Oliver and his team were never going to find her body, because there was no body to be found.

She was as surprised as anyone else would be if they knew. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her face was the same, framed by the same blonde hair. A hole through her shirt where the arrow had entered. Soft, unmarked flesh underneath. Somehow.

She had no idea how she had survived, but she had. None of it made sense. Nothing but the fact that she now had an out. If everyone thought her dead, she could do whatever she wanted to do. It was an opportunity she couldn’t miss. She could save so many people.

They would forgive her when she told them later. When they found out what she had done and how she had acted to save hundreds of people, they would forgive her. She hoped.

fin.

Is this a spoiler for what I haven't seen yet, or does it just feel like it should be a part from the show?
Is good, regardless.
