Chapter Summary: In which death was just a dream
Roy sighed once more as he listened to Dinah scream at Oliver. They'd been fighting for what seemed like days and it was all Roy could do not to storm out with Lian. But he really had no where to go and Mia and Connor didn't seem as bothered by it. At least outwardly. Roy knew that at least Mia was effected by it. Dinah might not be her mom, but the woman was the closest any of them really got, and seeing her scream at the man that they all saw as their father was pulling them in two directions.
"I joined the cheer squad at school." Mia said, her voice was devote of any real emotion and Roy looked down at her with a glare. "What? We don't have an archery team." She gave a shrug. "Plus I look really good in red." Roy couldn't fault her there. They all looked good in red, green, and yellow. They were the Queen family colors. No matter if Dinah wanted they to all tone down the colors and stick with the muted black.
"I got a job at the school in Westerville. I'll be teaching the Akido class." Roy looked over to Connor and grinned. The boy had been telling him about looking at the school. All boys school, actually. It made Connor think of home, so Roy had been all for it. Especially when he had realized the school had needed a new gym teacher and he had gladly offered his services. Lian would be welcome to come hang out too, and she'd started telling everyone who'd listen that she was going to Hogwarts. Even when Roy knew she knew the school was called Dalton.
Oliver came in shortly after the door had slammed closed. He slumped down on the couch next to Roy and lifted Lian into his lap. The girl cuddled into her grandfather and the family settled into the silence. Roy knew his dad had to get out there. Though a great girl, Dinah had driven his father near insanity. He needed someone who'd make him feel good, and have a good time with him. Yet still be a hard ass on him.
"Pops. You need to totally meet my coach." Roy looked down at Mia and saw her wink at him. So she had been thinking the same thing. Roy grinned. A cheerleading coach huh? It really could work.
