He had a crush on her for the longest time, since before any of this happened and she was just the cute brunette in biology his second year in high school. They became quick friends after they were paired to be dissection buddies and he found out her love of archery and crime fighting. He heard all the same rumors she did about that prick she was dating and was there when her world slipped from her grasp the following year.

During their senior year she went missing for a day and when they found her; steward, Oliver and himself he found out who exactly she was and why she didn't seem too bothered by him skipping out on getting together. She had been a lantern a green lantern since her parents had died, but something was different she was distant, colder, cautious. They continued on with life and with the two of them working together more and more, Stewart said that the guardians wanted her back home and on earth as much as possible but wouldn't say why...the little crush he had for her blossomed. Only when she was kidnapped by joker did he fully accept his feelings for her, but john and Oliver insisted he didn't act until he got a full explanation of what happened when she was gone.

He understood and continued to be her best friend; it didn't take long to find out about his addictions. She had voiced her suspicion and worry but hadn't pushed him to quit like everyone else. "It's your life, who am I to tell you to live it. I may not agree with it but that won't change anything between us...except for maybe some jokes." She had been the first one to ultimately allow him to come to his own decision, allowed him to make his own choice without pushing him. Prom had come around and she asked him to it, "come on its senior year. Let's have some fun, be normal before the night claims our souls." But of course during the dance she finally talked him into; a villain crashes the party and their moment. "One could hope, no? You still owe me a dance."

Shortly after their graduation the guardians ordered her back on duty and he found himself without a gaming partner for days on end. He had even gone as far as asking her to move in, so when she did come back he could see her. But he quickly played that off as a joke and the two laughed about it. "To think I was even contemplating the thought." She had said during one of their dwindling patrols together. "Moving in. I rather liked the idea."

Then she was summoned to ion, urgent. "Has to be bad if they are asking me to go there." He had questioned her about it, she was always the modest one... "Sorry thought I was thinking that. Didn't mean to come out and say it." She had seemed genuinely honest at the time before powering up and heading out. She had maybe reached the end of the stratosphere before turning back and kissing him. And it wasn't one of those cheek kisses, no it was a full on kiss. "For luck." She explained flushed before zooming off.

Their first kiss had very well almost been there last and now here she was passed out at mount justice. Unresponsive and unconscious, it had been the most time he had visited the mountain. Megan had mentioned that she had spoken to her a couple of times telepathically asking about him and how things were going, had offered to try and connect links when he came to visit. It was nice and something she didn't have to do, but he was grateful he did hearing her voice and reassurance seemed to help him get through the day. She had said she was doing damage control and would explain it in detail when she awoke.

So now here he was sitting next to his best friend and crush in this cold blank room. The team was out doing another errand for the league, robin had offered him to tag along but he declined. Behind him the door slid open, "I've heard you managed to communicate with her a couple of times." A groan escaped his lips before he knew what he was doing.

"Nothing gets past the league I see." He really was not in the mood to be talking to green arrow; canary hadn't helped at all the last few times he visited. The woman was getting on his last nerve. "What are you here to make sure I am still mentally stable as well?" There was silence for a while before he heard his ex-mentor walk up and place a hand on his shoulder.

"Believe it or not we worry for you. Its bad enough Mel is still in this state. Kyle had said that not even the guardians were sure if she would awake but most of the core was helping out."

"Tell him to tell them to stop." When Oliver didn't say anything he continued, "She said it's a nice effort but the power from unfamiliar faces are only confusing her further. Reminding her of the family she lost, it's doing more harm unintentionally.

"I'll tell him." Oliver replied as he removed his hand, "She say anything else?" He shook his head, it was a lie but everything else they talked about usually revolved around the crime, robin and them, or the new games that were coming out. "Can she hear us?" He nodded, that had been one of the first things he asked. A part of him was hoping she would say no, that part of him that flushed when she had said she could. The other part was glad that she was conscious enough to heat and understand them, it was a good thing when it came to her brain function

Roy watched as Oliver walked over to her other side before placing a hand on her forehead. He stayed like that for a while before bending down and whispering something in her ear, now he envied Conner for his super hearing. The blond straightened out before tapping her hand a couple of times and making his exit.
