teens of denial
It was wild how the world worked. Oliver spent a lot of his childhood idolizing people he could never be like; Captain America, Iron Man, Thor. Even while he played pretend his mother made that very clear - You aren't meant to be a good guy, Oli. So he listened, and stopped being good, stopped playing pretend, started fighting and manipulating for what he wanted and he realized that he was in fact quite talented at it.
That was why it was no surprise for him to find out he was the son of a villain, the same one who had destroyed New York City and was the most wanted criminals in the whole world. In fact, that was almost funny to him, and it pushed him to do more. He used his powers mostly to cheat in sports, or in school, or to get that "straight" guy to go on a date with him - that night had ended well. He worked hard to get what he wanted, it was just always in different ways. That was also how he managed to get the name of his half brother at the DNA testing center. His results had come back as him being part alien (big shocker, really) and then connected him to another teen who had made his way to the center a few weeks ago. The doctor swore she couldn't give him his brother's name, but a few minutes of chatting, flirting, and only a little violence and he had the name and phone number on a small piece of paper.
Now he was walking down the streets of New York, dialling the number skillfully while weaving in and out of the crowd. It rang once, twice, then three times before cutting to voicemail, and Oliver decided to keep his message short and sweet. "Hi, it's your half brother. I'll be at the bar on the corner of Bleaker and Mercer at 7. Feel free to meet me there so we can chat, we have some catching up to do. Let me know if they won't let you in. Toodles." He hung up and glanced at the clock, it was 6 pm. It would take him almost 30 minutes to get to the bar, perfect timing if Luciano decided to show.
