"I propose a toast," Lois Lane said re-raising her glass.

"To what," Chloe said.

"To us. This year has been…tough but we made it. We're here together," Lois said.

"It's time for a new start," Chloe said smiling.

"To close the door on our demons and move forward," Oliver said smiling as well.

"To open new doors to take chances and consider new possibilities even when it scares us," Clark said looking straight at Lois.

She stared back into his eyes and then looked away quickly, slightly blushing.

She decided to ignore it and continued, "To us."

"To us," all of them said in unison as they clinked their glasses together. They continued eating lunch, laughing, and reminiscing.

"Sorry guys, but I have to go," Oliver said standing.

"Where to?" Lois asked curiously.

He pulled out his wallet and through down a twenty, "I have a prior engagement."

"Code for date," Lois said smiling knowingly.

"It's not a code for a date actually. I'm taking a bit of a...break," he said completely serious.

"Oliver Queen, taking a break from women? Who are you and what have you done with Oliver?" Lois said laughing.

"Are you sure you're ok? Did you hit your head?" Clark said smiling.

"I mean we can take you to the doctor Oliver," Chloe said playing along.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny guys, just hilarious," he said rolling his eyes. He began to walk away.

"Hey Oliver one more thing," Lois said.

"What is it now," he said turning around.

"Is this prior engagement with a woman," Lois said saying like statement rather than a question.

He smiled, "That is beside the point. It's not like that. She's a friend."

She smiled too," It's never like that." He laughed and walked out the door.

"I forgot to ask him something," Chloe said getting up and going out the restaurant after Oliver.

Lois and Clark glance at one another then continue eating their dessert in silence.

"Oliver! Wait up!" Chloe said running to catch up.

"What's up, need a ride," he said continuing to walk.

"No I wanted to ask you something," she said.

"Shoot," he said.

"Have you talked to the team?" she asked trying to keep up as he walked faster.

"If you mean my team of lawyers, then yes," he said speeding up more.

"No you know exactly who I mean Oliver," she said.

"No I don't believe I do Chloe," he said finally reaching his car.

"You know those people you used to triumph over evil with. You know Bart, Dinah, Arthur, and Victor. You remember them don't you?" she said standing between him and his car.

"Ooohh, that team!" he says over exaggerating.

"No, I mean your other butt kicking, crime fighting, superhero team," she says sarcastically.

"Gee Chloe, I don't think you said it loud enough for the world to hear," he said irritated.

"Well obviously I didn't say it loud enough for you to hear," she said irritated as well.

"Just drop it Chloe! What am I supposed to say! Sorry I was such a huge idiot, who killed Lex Luther, almost gambled and drunk his life away and basically got Jimmy killed!" he said with guilt all over his face.

"It wasn't your fault Oliver. It was no ones' fault. Things happen and we just have to move forward," she said with a sad face.

They were silent and then Oliver said," I got to go."

He got in his car and drove off as fast as he could.
