"Slade?" Rose echoed in confusion. She was totally lost now, something she wasn't used to. She'd thought that Oliver had explained everything to her. Apparently not. Sara looked at her again and then back at Oliver.
"You didn't even tell her about Slade? You must not like her that much, Ollie." Sara said in a disappointed tone. She wasn't sure why Oliver wouldn't tell his new team member about their biggest threat. Oliver tensed, uncomfortable. He pulled his arm off Rose's shoulders.
"I hoped it wouldn't be necessary… But I know about Slade. He was at my house, remember? But if he makes a move on us, we'll be ready." Oliver told Sara. She scoffed and motioned with a hand lazily at Rose.
"And her? You haven't even trained her yet, Ollie! Why is she even here?" Sara demanded.
"Why are you even here?" Rose snapped. Sara looked over at Rose in surprise, raising one eyebrow in a silent 'what did you just say to me' question. They glared at each other. Felicity muttered something about a cat fight before she backed away slowly. Oliver grabbed Rose's arm and pulled her back. Rose glared at him, sensing he'd made her step down first on purpose.
"She's here because I want her here. I'll start training her, Sara. Besides, I've been protecting her. No one has gotten near her. Are you staying here?" He asked.
"Of course I am. You need me if you want to take down Slade." She said it as if she was offended he thought she was even considering leaving. Rose wished that Sara would leave. Like right now.
"Good. You-." He turned towards Rose. "-and I will start training tomorrow morning. Eight-o-clock. Be up and presentable by then." He told her. Then he and Sara walked out of the basement, still murmuring to themselves.
"I don't like Sara." Rose and Felicity said in unison. They looked at each other.
"Why?" They asked, still talking in unison. Both of them were uncomfortable, trying to think up a good reason not to like Sara Lance.
"Um… She's annoying." Rose said. Felicity nodded.
"Yeah, that's it." They looked away, both knowing all too well the real reason for both of them not liking Sara was because Oliver liked her more than he liked them…
A/N Sorry that this chapter is shorter than the others. Oh, and, Highlander348, I am thinking about giving Rose an extra little advantage, such as a power. Thanks for the review!
