Kicking and Screaming reference in the near future...
Ollie woke up to the cliche alarm tone of his phone. He shifted tiredly, frowning when he felt an odd weight on his lap and chest.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, his mind slowly becoming more clear. He looked down to see that Turnip had crawled out of his quilt and was now sleeping in his lap, his body leaning limply against Ollie's chest and his head tucked under Ollie's chin.
Ollie sighed and rubbed Turnip's shoulder gently, giving him self a few moments to wake up.
The sun was barely comming up, and the sky was dark blue. He saw that he had parked beside a cattle ranch. The farmer's house was no where to be seen, but the cows were on the other side of the fence, grazing.
He gently lifted up Turnip and put him back in the passenger seat, wrapping him up in his quilt. When he was done, he started the car and continued to drive back down to Happy Harbour.
A couple hours later, there were more cars and more traffic, a sign that they were getting closser to Hppy Harbour.
Ollie glanced at Turnip when he started shifting slightly, small, quiet groans comming from him.
"You awake?" Ollie asked, keeping his eyes on the road.
He received a clipped, drowsy mumble from Turnip.
"Are you thirsty?" Ollie asked.
"Mm hmm." Turnip said when he sat up a little bit.
Ollie reached behind his seat, rummaging around for somthing, then he pulled his arm back with a water bottle. He handed it to Turnip who grabbed it eagerly.
Turnip unscrewed the cap and took a big gulp.
Ollie nearly jumped through the windshield when Turnip spit the water out and started to cough.
"That's not water..." Turnip said sadly, looking at Ollie.
Ollie took the bottle and took a sip. "Nope." He said, putting the lid on and tossing it into the back seat. "That's my russian vodka."
Turnip giggled.
Ollie dug around in the back some more, the car swerving slighty. He pulled out another bottle and handed it to Turnip. "Water." He said.
Turnip smiled softy and took the bottle. "You're not a kid person, are you?" He asked, hesitantly opening the water bottle.
"Not really."
Turnip took a sip of the water before downing half the bottle.
"When was the last time you had clean water?" Ollie asked.
"My supply ran out a few days ago..." Turnip said, pulling his long black hair out of his face.
"You need a haircut." Ollie said upon seeing this.
Turnip made a small sound of disaproval. He looked at Ollie. "Is it a nice one?"
Ollie's eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean?"
"The orphanage..." Turnip said, his voice breaking. "Though I suppose you wouldn't really care..."
"I thought we agreed I wasn't taking you to an orphanage."
"Adults always lie..." Turnip said quietly.
"I won't lie to you." Ollie said.
Turnip looked at Ollie, his eyes sad and unbelieving.
"What kind of hero would I be if I lied to you?" Ollie asked.
"Promise?" Turnip asked in a small voice.
"Promise." Ollie said.
Turnip smiled softly and brought the quilt over his head. "Were are we going?" He asked.
"It's kind of like the league's secret hide out, I can't tell you very much. But you're gonna have to hide under that blanket in a little while so you can't see where we're going."
Turnip nodded. "How far away are we?" He asked.
"About forty five minutes." Ollie said.
Turnip nodded. "Are they going to do tests on me?"
"Yeah."
"Are they gonna hurt?" Turnip asked.
"No, it will be just like at the docter's." Ollie said.
"Okay..." Turnip said quietly, looking out the window.

"Can I look now?" Said Turnip's muffled voice from under the quilt.
"Nope." Ollie said as he drove into an ally where a zeta tube was located. He parked the car pulled the keys out, stuffing them in his pocket. He grabbed the samples, plus Turnip's things. He opened the door and got out of the car.
"O-Ollie?" Rang Turnip's scared voice.
"Relax kid, I'm not leavin' ya." Ollie said before closing the door. He walked over to the passenger door and opened it.
"Ollie?" Turnip asked quietly.
"What?" Ollie asked as he gently tugged on Turnip's shoulder, pulling him out of the car.
"A-Are they gonna be mad at you?" Turnip asked quietly.
"Mad at me for what?" Ollie asked as he walked himself and Turnip over to what looked like an old telephone booth.
"For bringing me here..." Turnip said. "Or for me knowing that you're Green Arrow..."
"Don't worry 'bout me, kid." Ollie said as he entered the zeta tube. He pressed a few buttons on the phone keypad so that it would teleport Turnip as well. "Green Arrow, 103, Geust." He said.
The red light thingy (I don't know what it is) scanned Ollie, then scanned Turnip through the quilt.
Turnnip grabbed onto Ollie.
"Reconized, Green Arrow, 103. Geust."
A few seconds later, they appeared in the large tech room. It was empty, all the holographs were off and there were no debriefings or sparring.

I'll start the next chapter right there. I don't know what Green Arrow's code thingy is, so i just put 103.
And I won't update unless I get at least two reviews per chapter. I know I have at least two people reading this!
