Chapter 2
"i've gotta be honest" Oliver said turning and giving Molly her coke "i never thought you'd actually call"
"honestly" she smiled taking the can from him "i wasn't going too" she said as they continued their walk aroung Star City with Oliver pointing things out to her
"then why did you?" he asked taking a sip off his coffee
"my cousins said i was driving them insane and if i didn't get out and around Star City then they were going to invite my Great Aunt and Uncle to visit" she smiled noting the look Oliver was giving her "we really don't get along, blood would have been spilled" she added causing Oliver to laugh "Oliver i'm serious someone would die" she said which caused him to laugh harder because she actually was serious
"so why don't you like them?" he asked wiping a tear from his eye
"actually they don't like me" she said taking a sip
"why?" Oliver asked curious maybe they could help him understand her and get someone on the inside.
"because i'm a girl" she said as Oliver just became more confused "i was meant to look pretty and smile, be smart but not enough to intimidate men, get married straight out off collegue have 2.5 kids no job and arrange cocktail parties" she sighed
"and that's why you don't get along?" he said feeling some sympathy for her which he instantly tried to dismiss
"yeah i just couldn't be who they wanted me to be i got emancipated when i was 14 and went to live with my mum's best friend" she said depositing her can in a bucket
"why didn't you move in with your father after your mother died i'm sure lex would have been glad of the company" he said hoping that she would give him something to use. a hand grabbed his arm and forced him to spin aroung and fae her a strange expresion on her face not quite anger not quite fear but a mixture of both
"how do you know that lionel is my biological father " she demanded not releasing his arm
"i've always known" Oliver lied searching for a way to backtrack.
"how?" she demanded
"i don't know i just do" he said "what's the big deal anyway" he said shaking her hand off
"oh nothing..." she trailed off "i just didn't know anyone other than the people i've told knew that" she said noticing oliver giving her a curious look "if that evil manipulative bastard was your father would you advertise it" she said starting to walk again "crap" she cursed after a few seconds stopping again"you didn't mention this to Lex did you?" she said looking worried "he doesn't know and it's hard enough avoding daddy dearest let alone him as well"
"no" oliver answered taking a hold of her elbow to make them move again " when lex and i talk it's to exchange insults not pleasantries" he smiled at her as he noticed the look of relief flash across his face 'damn' he thought 'bruce was going to go to lex's office to get information on her'"Molly i'e just gotta make a call alright"
"ok" she smiled as he moved away a few steps he hadn't even had his phone completely out of his pocket before it started to ring as Bruce flashed across the called ID screen
"hi Bruce" Oliver said hoping he wasn't too late
"hey oliver your never gonna believe this" Bruce's excited voice came
"lex didn't know about Molly" he groaned
"yeah how did you know that?" Bruce quizzed
"Molly" he answered "does he know now"
"yeah why?" Bruce asked
"no reason i've got to go" he said quickly hanging up and turning round to see Molly helping a little girl who'd fallen off her bike and cut her knee 'oliver your being ridiculous' he thought to hmelf 'she's evil, so what if lex found out she might get a little upset but it's nothing compared to what she's done to people with abilities' but looking at her he couldn't beleive it or ignore the guilt he felt for causing her pain and she didn' look capable of hurting anyone let alone destroying thousands of lives something just didn't add up,
