AC just stared in shock as Chloe grabbed her foot and pulled it back and arched her body until her foot touched the top of her head. Victor shook his head in surprise and Dinah seemed impressed with Chloe's new found flexibility. Oliver was too busy with business to really care but knew that Chloe was doing something impressive enough to make everyone shut up so clapped when the others did.

"No I didn't say he could...well then you're an idiot aren't you" Dinah turned when he heard Bart coming down the hall and then smirked at the others.

Bart slammed his phone shut and then looked up but then froze when he saw Chloe's position; the blonde was wearing a skin tight work out jacket an extremely tight red tank top with loose black workout pants. With the position that Chloe was it a large part of her toned stomach was revealed and it made the speedster gulp and sweat a little.

"Ah Chlo...What you doing?" Bart asked a little nervously

The blonde looked at the suit wearing man and grinned at him before letting her leg fall and rolling her shoulders a little.

"Just working out" Chloe replied as she bent backwards and ended up in a handstand with her legs in a split position in mid air.

Bart gulped again and silently thanked the heavens that he didn't wear a tie, as he shrugged out of his jacket and took off his shoes.

"I can see that" Dinah looked at AC who had a surprised look on his face before turning to face the duo.

Bart hadn't been doing nothing for the last few months, after Chloe had disappeared he had demanded Oliver put him into training and had gotten almost mastered skill with the blade and knew how to fight at extreme speeds-thanks to his gift. With a smirk Bart swept him leg at Chloe's arms sending her tumbling which she managed to get away unscratched with by tumbling at the last moment.

"Well I guess going to a temple to train is a waste of time" Bart said in humour smiling at Chloe making sure she knew it was a joke.

The blonde smiled back and bowed accepting his challenge and then got into the traditional jiujutsu pose why Bart got into one that showed his oblivious weak points. Chloe shook her head and shot forward hoping to do a spinning kick to the head-but Bart had studied under a Master at hand to hand and at the last moment duck and sent his foot into Chloe's chin, but before the blonde flew out of distance she grabbed Bart and used him as a spring board and flip to land on her feet. The boy smiled and then rushed forward and before Chloe could see Bart had her on her back with his knee in the middle of her back.

"Yield?" he asked not even the slightest.

Chloe nodded and Bart let her up slowly, and the blonde turned and gave Bart an amazed look "Where did you learn all of that?"

Bart shrugged like it was no big deal and then picked up his jacket and shoes "I trained with Master Prowl for the time you were away"

Chloe froze when she heard the name of Bart's master "Mater Prowl-he used to be a master at the temple I trained at before he decided to go on a mission to find himself, he was lonely, no one wanted to be his pupil, so I'm sure you brought him much joy" Chloe said tears welling up in her eyes "I only met Prowl once but he was such a fair and honest man, I would have trusted him with my life"

Bart nodded and then flipped open his phone and dialled a well known number and Chloe went back to training-she wasn't a trained killer like Bart would be, she was priestess, and she was known for control and grace while still being powerful. Dinah watched the transition before rushing to Chloe's side.

"Okay what was all that about?" she asked

Chloe shook her head and took off her jacket and turned around making the boy's gasp and made Bart drop his phone. On Chloe's right shoulder blade was a black phoenix tattoo. It was beautifully done and looked perfect.

"Where. Did. you get that, and how haven't I seen that?" Dinah asked practically squealing.

Bart froze again and looked at Chloe evenly "Dinah that isn't a normal Tat, that is a tattoo that you get when you finish your training and they find out what you guardian animal spirit is"

Oliver looked up and saw Bart shake his head slightly. "And the reason why she wouldn't have shown anyone, is because revealing your animal is the ultimate sign of trust"

Dinah looked at Bart and then frowned "Wait does that mean you have a spirit guardian?"

The speedster nodded and then looked away from Chloe before starting to undo his dress shirt.

"I have only shown Ollie this; I was going to show you all when I didn't feel so nervous but I guess now is as good as I'm going to get" Bart said sliding his shirt off.

When Bart turned around Chloe almost gasped, decorating Bart's full left shoulder blade was a beautiful Cheetah that was sitting with its head looking up at the clouds. While looking at the beautiful tattoo Chloe had to quell the urge to touch it. Bart's tattoo was so much larger than her own. Dinah didn't move but her eyes soften and when Bart turned around and he adverted his eyes but was shocked when Dinah pulled him into a hug.

"Thank you for sharing this-both of you" Dinah said and AC hugged Chloe tightly the whole time Oliver watched the team with proud eyes.

"So a cheetah, why am I not surprised" Victor said smiling at Bart who just smiled back and then looked at Oliver.

"Actually I was wondering if I could go to Africa for a while, I mean between the wedding and the paparazzi I need a break" Bart asked his guardian.

Oliver looked at Dinah who was motioning for Chloe and then nodded "You can go, but I want you to take Chloe with you"

The blonde looked up and then sighed "I'll go pack" Dinah smiled and then took the blonde by the arm and started towards her room, all the while Bart just scratched his head in confusion.

"What just happened?" Bart asked

Oliver smirked and clapped Bart on his shoulder "Well you just scored yourself two weeks with Chloe-alone"

Bart's face fell and his shoulders dropped as he started towards his room the whole way grumbling about the world hated him.

The plane ride to Africa was quiet as Bart was at one end of the plane why Chloe was at the other. Bart was nervous; he had two full weeks in the African safari with Chloe. It was hard enough that he knew she trusted him with her secret but this was going to be both pleasure and pain. Chloe smiled when she saw the package Dinah had given her, inside was clothes perfect for a safari. Khaki Shorts that went to mid thigh a button up khaki cargo shirt with a deeper green safari zip up vest. All the material was light, but Chloe had pockets in the vest that it didn't bother her. Sitting next to the clothes was a pair of sturdy hiking boots. Bart had been give a similar outfit although his pants were full length and he didn't have a vest. Both of them got safari hats that resemble a cowboy hat in some ways. But why Bart got the keys to a very expensive jeep, Chloe got a beautifully crafted and new camera. Ever since Jimmy had died the blonde had taken up learning her dead husband's profession and was now an extremely talented photographer.

When the jet landed on a strip of land close to the savannah, Bart and Chloe were met by a handsome raven haired man who had no problem checking out Chloe's legs as she walked towards him.

"Hi I'm Jack I'll be travelling with you until you get to your jeep" he said holding out a hand.

Chloe smiled and took it "I'm Chloe and if you check me out one more time you're going to find out how owls are able to turn their heads all the way around"

Jack stared after Chloe as she walked towards the jeep waiting for them, while Bart shook his head.

"Well aint she a little spit fire?" Jack asked

Bart clapped Jack's shoulders and chuckled a little "Oh you have no idea"

Chloe sat in the back and watched as she saw antelope and spring hops race away from the jeep and then smile when she saw a baby zebra nuzzling it's mother for comfort.

"Bart this is amazing" Chloe whispered as she saw a leopard scan its surroundings before crouching and blending into its surroundings.

Bart smiled at Chloe and then held onto the dash board as Jack sped across the savannah. The blonde next to him just stared at everything in awe; she seemed so interested in everything and for good reason. The grass as a wheat colour and everything seemed so free out here. Animals roamed the plains and the heat shone down but nothing could stop Chloe from smiling, so when Jack finally stopped in front of Oliver's black jeep Chloe walked out into the plains with Bart following her closely. Without any warning Chloe stopped and when Bart stopped by her side to he saw why lying in the grass sleeping were two lion cubs, most likely put there by the mother. Chloe bit her lip and looking around before creeping forward and laid in the grass. Bart shook his head, the girl was to curious and it was going to get her kill. Then with deliberate slowness Chloe unscrewed the lens off and then moved forward a little more until she was only a half a meter away. Chloe smiled and took three photos of the cubs before standing up and moving to Bart's side where she showed him the three shots.

"There awesome" Bart said as the two of them moved towards the jeep again as the sun began its decent.

Jack had taken off as soon as Chloe had and it turned out that Oliver's jeep was large enough to sleep in comfortably and the boot was stocked with bandages, food and water. Bart saw a note on the dash board and when he read it he couldn't stop a chuckle from escaping.

"What?" Chloe asked as she cleaned her camera.

"Dear Bart, please take care of this Jeep, I know that you and Chloe are going to have so much fun but please I would like it to be returned to the states in one piece, let's not have a repeat of the Porsche in Spain. Oliver" Bart read

Chloe snorted as she remembered how AC and Bart had totalled a beautiful green Porsche in Spain that Oliver had sent over to the duo for this one mission, when he saw it next the car hadn't been recognizable.

"Yeah well I'm going to have to agree with Ollie on that one" Chloe said leaning out of the window when she saw two hyena's come up to the jeep and start to sniff it.

Then without any pretence Chloe got out her camera and turned on the night vision, which would digitally remaster the photo to allow her to see the hyena's more clear. Chloe open the door and the hyena's noticed and put their heads in the car and made a whinny calling noise to her. Bart gulped in amazement. Here were these two hunters that had enough strength in their jaws to crush bones and they seemed to be whining for Chloe to join them. Chloe merely smiled and took a photo of their head lying on her feet and then she jumped out of the jeep, and before she could think the hyenas were stroking her leg with their heads much like a cat would. Bart got out to and came to stand by Chloe and then put the camera on the top of the jeep and clicked on the timer and then rushed back to Chloe's side. When the flash picture was taken Bart and Chloe pulled out two full ribs that Oliver had gotten them and then threw them away from the jeep and watched as the hyenas ran off after them.

"Well that was cool" Bart said a little breathlessly.

Chloe laughed and then looked at the picture she took with Bart and then smiled "Now I know why people are always trying to get pictures of you-you photograph really well"

Bart chucked and then leant back next to her "Chlo I'm really glad you decided to come" he said looking at her with a smile.

Chloe smiled and then took his hand and squeezed it tightly. 'It's not every day I get to go to the African savannah, I was happy to come"

Bart smiled and then looked to the top of Jeep, the coming two weeks wouldn't be too bad all he had to do was remember was that they were friends.

Bart finished packing the jeep and sighed as he looked around the plains that had been his home for two weeks. For fourteen whole days Chloe and him had lived with only wild animals and after the first three days most of them began to trust them. In fact Bart knew where Chloe was at that moment. So with a sigh Bart put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the rocky outcrop where Chloe was sitting with a beautiful Cheetah, who had its head in her lap.

"Chloe!" Bart shouted

The blonde looked up and smiled while waving him over, the big cat looked up but when he saw who it was he just laid back down, his tail flicking the flies away every few minutes.

"I see Sverrir has adopted you as his pillow" Bart said crouching down so not to alert the big cat.

Chloe smiled and nodded as she looked down fondly at the spotted cat, they had met him the fourth day they were in the savannah and somehow the cat had trusted him, and had allowed Chloe to take photo's with and of him.

"Who else have you seen?" Bart asked seeing that Chloe had four rolls of film at her side, that all looked used.

"I said my farewells to Vega and her clutch" Chloe said sadly, Vega was a beautiful Falcon that had recently just laid it's eggs. The beautiful bird had a habit of swooping down and landing on Bart's head but when Chloe had some mice or anything of the sorts, she would come to her and nuzzle her affectionately.

Bart smiled and then nodded; he knew Vega would hit her hard, "Who else?"

Chloe smiled and scratched behind Sverrir ear making him purr "I had to say goodbye to Simba and Nara" Bart shook his head and smiled

Simba and Nara were the two Lion cubs that Chloe had taken a picture of the first day they were there, their parents that they had named Sasha and Kane always watched as they played with the cubs but because they smelt like the cubs they never interfered.

"Have you seen Kayo and Jazz yet?" Bart asked.

Kayo and Jazz were the two Hyenas' that they had meet on the first night, and they hadn't left them alone, spending nearly every night and midday's with them.

Chloe nodded and then her eyes softened "I even managed to find Shadia and her new foal Fallon" Bart's eyes softened as Chloe talked about the little foal that almost didn't make it.

The rain poured down and Bart looked around when he heard a pain filled neigh sound through the night. Chloe was already pulling on her jacket and was running towards the sound. Bart followed her closely and when they found the source of the sound Chloe was immediately in action. It was Shadia- the pregnant Zebra that had a huge affection for the blonde photographer.

"Bart the foal, it's coming" Chloe said after putting her hand on the equines stomach.

That got the speedster moving he was helping the young mother to stand up straight why Chloe spread the mothers back legs so the foal could come out. Shadia let out a pained whine as he stomach contracted.

"Bart hold her steady" Chloe said as she saw the small hooves of the little foal.

The speedster gripped the mother zebra tightly and then saw Chloe pulling the four small hooves out. After pulling on Chloe's half and pushing on Shadia's half the young foal was whining in Chloe's hand.

"It's a colt" Chloe said breathlessly as the young thing stumbled over to Shadia who began nuzzling it and blowing it.

"So what are you going to name it?" Bart asked, he was wet covered in mud, but still couldn't help but feel happy.

Chloe who was also covered in the birthing juices turned and saw the young colt that was beginning to suckle from its mother before smiling

"Fallon"

Sverrir made a noise of protest when Chloe got up and put her film in the many pockets of her jacket but followed them to jeep where Chloe bowed to the big cat in respect before jumping in the Jeep. As Bart sped away Sverrir raced next to Chloe's window until he got time, but then started calling.

"Goodbye Sverrir, I'll never forget you" Chloe called out waving to the cheetah with her hat

Bart smiled as Chloe pulled herself back into the car and sighed as she placed her hat back on her head.

"Missing the Savannah already are you?" Bart teased as they sped down the dirt path.

Chloe smiled and pushed Bart lightly on the arm "Come on this was the best two weeks of your life"

Bart sighed and nodded before turning sharply into the airport. When both of then jumped out of the jeep, Jack was waiting for them again.

"Well hi there Chloe you looked like your almost sad to go home" Jack said smiling at the blonde much like a friend would, he had learnt his lesson the first time.

Chloe shrugged and readjusted her camera bag before sighing and walking up the stairs that went into Oliver's QI jet.

When Bart got into the jet, it was a much different experience then the one that was coming to Africa. Bart sat right next Chloe and the blonde snuggled into his side and allowed the sweet release of sleep to take her away. When Chloe woke up, she got changed into a pair o comfortable jeans that Dinah had stored on the plane, and just so she didn't have pretend these weren't designer jeans she purposely didn't look at the logo. The top Chloe wore was a deep red halter top with a beautiful silver pendant necklace. Bart wore a black on black suit but just ignored the tie and unbuttoned the two top buttons of the shirt. With her camera around her Neck and her arm linked with Bart's the two of them got out of the jet only to be surrounded by camera's that started flashing as soon as they stepped out.

"Mr Allen where have you and Mrs Sullivan been?" one of the reporters yelled

Chloe looked up alarmed and Bart started pushing her towards the Limo that was waiting for them. Before Chloe could get into the Limo a reporter grabbed her and looked at her "Mrs Sullivan are you planning on making an honest man out of Mr Allen"

Chloe just stared at the reporter and before she could speak a large hand yanked her into the Limo and Chloe came face to face with Oliver who just smirked at her before hugging her tightly.

"Hey sidekick" Oliver said and then looked at her "What happened to you, your all tan and fit"

Dinah nodded as she tried to tame Bart's hair which had grown, and had become a permanent place for dust. Chloe smiled and leant back as she watched the scenery pass the whole time clutching her camera which held pictures of her most treasured time.
