"OLLIE!"
Silence followed for a few minutes. Ollie cleared his throat, and calmly walked down the hall, unaware of the situation he was about to walk into.
"OLLIE! Why do I have to wear this stupid hat?"
Ollie looked down at a fuming young red head. Shaking his head he tried to come up with a response that wouldn't aggravate his "ward" anymore.
"Ollie, I'm waiting!"
"For Christ's sakes Roy! Just wear the damn hat!"
The young archer stuck out his lower lip. Did he do something wrong? Since he arrived at Millionaire's house he [Roy] had been on his best behavior. Roy knew he had it good, not only was his adoptive father rich but he was the Green Arrow too.

"Roy? Roy, look at me. I'm sorry. Can you just wear the hat? Look, you'll be a mini Green Arrow!" Ollie bent down, and looked Roy in the eyes, "Roy, you're talented. Just try the hat. Wear it around for a bit. Get used to it. I want your attitude to be changed by the time Uncle Hal comes over."

Roy knew he was defeated. At least he could still work by his mentor's side. It had taken some begging on the young boy's behalf, but Ollie finally caved and allowed him to join him as a hero.
But the hat, this hat had to go.
Ollie had suggested he wear it around for a bit, get used to it, and after becoming comfortable, he'd change his mind. Yeah right. There was no way he was going to let Uncle Hal see him in this, let alone the public.


"Whoa! Kiddo! What's on your head?"

"UNCLE HAL THIS ISN'T FUNNNY!" With that he stomped out of the room.

A slamming door was heard echoing down the hall.

"It didn't look that bad."

"Hal, you've done enough damage. Just wait until Canary hears of this. She'll have my-"

"JUST WAIT UNTIL I TELL DINAH ABOUT THIS! SHE WOULDN'T MAKE ME WAER A STUPID HAT!"

Hal looked at Ollie, "Good luck with making him wear that."

"If you want to talk him into it, then be my guest."


Hal knocked on door frame and was greeted by an arsenal of arrows.

"Go away!"

"Roy, just let me in for a bit. I promise I'll be quick." Hal didn't wait for an answer. "Look, I know you don't like it but just hear me out. Ollie is so proud of you. So proud. Do it for him. Just give it a shot. Use your imagination. Pretend it isn't there, or better yet, pretend it's your hair."

"Uncle Hal, how is pretending a hat your hair going to help?"

Hal smiled and walked away, leaving the boy to ponder his words.


"So, how'd it go? Is he gonna wear it?"

"Ollie, give him some time. Although I think I helped make up his mind."

"You better be right Hal. You better be right."


And that's a wrap! For the rest of the week updates may come fast, considering I ave no school. Anyways, I'll have them go up from young Roy to older, maybe even have one with Lian in it. Rating might go down to K+ although it might take a bit to get to the 'T' part. Anyways, let me know if you want him to meet Robin and Kid flash next or have Ollie/Roy bonding moments! I promise they're going to get longer.
