Prologue

Oliver Queen, being the big business mogul he was, knew everything about Starling City - the things on the surface and the not-so-surfaced things. He ran the city with the mere flicks of his wrist, and, with his lovely tech-savvy girlfriend, Felicity, his number-one security guard, Diggle, and his partner in crime, Roy, nothing could stop him.

Then, one cold, snowy, winter night, he finds a young-looking guy on his doorstep, shivering and frozen to the core. Oliver gives him shelter from the cold, only to find that the mysterious person - who later introduces himself as Barry Allen - will not only take up residence in his home, but as well as in his heart.
