" Can you at least tell what I did wrong, sidekick please?" Oliver pleaded into his phone, only to answer to Chloe's voice mail. After she slammed the door on him, he decided to head back home. He wanted to give her time, but he also wanted to know what he did to make her so mad. He arrives at his penthouse, " Dame, why the hell won't she answer her god dame phone," Oliver said reaching her voice mail again, and slammed his phone shut. He stopped in front of the door, but stopped when he heard a familiar voice behind him.
" Wow, did I hear right? The great player Oliver Queen, begging," The brown haired man stepped in sight, grinning at the flustered blonde.
" Well coming from the biggest player of them all, that hurts a lot," Oliver retorted back, shoving his phone in his pocket.
" It's good to see you again Man," the brunette said pulling the blonde into a hug.
" It's good to see you Hal, when did you get in town?" Oliver said leading them up to the clocktower.
" Well I just got transferred to the airbase here, I got in town yesterday," Hal said throwing his stuff on the coach.
" Yesterday? Why didn't you come here, you know I would've let you crash right?" the billionaire asked grabbing two water bottles from the refrigerator. He tossed the bottle to his friend and sat next to him.
" Well I saved this girl last night from a mugging, then she brought me back to her place,"
" wait please tell me that you weren't the green lantern when you did this last night," Oliver cut him off, knowing where this was heading.
" No I saved her as regular, Hal Jordan, and I know what your thinking, no I didn't sleep with her. It was weird, I felt a real connection with her. We told each other about ourselves, you know minus the hero parts. Then this morning she showed me around the town." Hal said grinning like a dummy, as he thought about what happed in the last 24 hours.
" Oh my god! You love her, don't you?" Oliver said, knowing the look on his face. It was the same look of love that he wore seeing Chloe.
" What, no, I don't know, maybe. It's just, being with her feels so right, like I could tell her all my secrets and she wouldn't go running, or tell the world. Ya, I think I'm falling for her. Her smile, the way she laughs, the way she scrunches her nose when she doesn't like someone, and the way she bits her lip when she's thinking of something. I love all of that." Hal said grinning even bigger.
Hearing Hal speak of this person, made his mind drift back to his feisty blonde sidekick. " Ya I know what you mean," the blonde threw his head back and let out a big sigh.
" Okay what about you. Who's got the great Oliver Queen so tied up in knots." Hal said smirk at the scene he saw earlier.
" Remember I was telling you about the justice league before, and how I told you about Watchtower. Well a couple weeks ago, me and her slept together, and we started this whole friends with benefits thing. Now it's just a big mess, one minute were great then the next she's kicking me out" Oliver groaned out, whipping his hand over his face.
" You like her don't you, I mean like her more then a friend?" Hal asked.
" I can't like her, because I used to date her cousin, and we work together, what if it doesn't workout then this was be bad for the team."
" Your just making excuses, you know that. Okay if you were worried about the team you would even agree to this whole friends with benefits thing in the first place."
" okay then what about the whole me dating her cousin?"
" Well she's having 'fun' with you and you're her cousins ex, so that takes care of that excuse, that is unless you still have feelings for her cousin," Hal said waiting for a response, but there wasn't any. " Please don't tell me that you still like her cousin,"
" I don't know, I might still have feeling but it's just, I….. I don't know okay," Oliver said clearly not wanting to continue with this conversation.
" Okay okay, but what did you do to her, that got her so mad?" Hal asked wanting to know his friends dumb mistake.
" I don't know, last night was amazing and then she leaves without saying a word. Then this an hour ago I went to her place, and she screams at me for asking her where she was and kicks me out." Oliver said relaying the events.
" Just let her cool off, give her time to calm down. But if I were you I would sort out your feeling because your love life sounds so messed up right now." Hal said
" Ugh, why does this have to be so complicated,"
" you are crazy you know that, that's what, the fourteenth burrito you had in what," Chloe paused looking at the clock at the computer, " the last 30 minutes." she chuckled.
" Hey now mamacita, I have to refuel. You know, I do work out a lot," Bart winked.
"You know you are what I really needed right now, thanks," Chloe said giving him a grateful meta watt smile. After she kicked out Oliver, Bart dropped bring coffee and a flower. It was just so Bart to do that, just drop by unexpectedly and brighten her day with his outrages flirting.
" You could thank me with a kiss," Bart said, speeding next to her only inches a part and eyes closed. Chloe turned his face and kissed him on the cheek and laughed. " Now your just teasing me, licous' "
" Hmm, teasing, I was just giving what you wanted." Chloe said taking a sip of her coffee.
" You know I think I'm kind of jealous of the your coffee mug right now." Bart said pouting, having he cutest face she has ever seen.
" Oh come on Bart don't be like this, how about we go out for Mexican, my treat?" Chloe said coxing him out of his tantrum. No matter what anyone did as long as they gave Bart food they he would forgive them.
He speed in front of Chloe and got on one knee. " Will you marry me?" Bart said taking her hand in his.
" Slow down cowboy," Chloe said Chuckling.
]" Why are we here again?" Oliver asked looking around, at the bright Hispanic decorations.
" We'll because I'm craving Mexican and I'm the guest so I get to choose where we eat." Hal said opening the door.
" Ya but couldn't we just order out? How'd you find this place anyway?" the blonde said looking at the crowded place.
" We'll when my little damsel in distress, gave me a tour of her magical kingdom, we she showed me this place but didn't actually eat here. I just wanted to try it out." Hal said looking for a open table.
" You know I never figured you as a fairytale type of guy?" Oliver said chuckling.
" I don't think the person who wears tights and play robin hood should speak," Hal said grinning.
" First off they are not tight and second…." Oliver began but his breath caught when he saw his blonde snarky sidekick walk into the restaurant with Bart. Their eyes meet and she shied away and turned to Bart, whispering in his ear, and gave what it looked like money to him. Before she left, she throw a glace at him, her eyes showed what it looked like pain and sadness.
" Hal I'll be back just order me what ever." Oliver said, hurrying to catch Chloe before she got to far.
" Wait, what? Where are you going?" Hal said, but Oliver didn't answer. Instead he headed towards Bart a dragged him out,
" Where the hell his Chloe?" Oliver asked clearly annoyed.
" Sorry boss man, Locius' said not to tell you," Bart said not meeting Oliver's eye's.
" Bart tell me where she is," the blonde said, words laced with anger.
" No offence, but I'm more afraid of Chloe then you," Bart said, shivering at the thought of a angry Chloe.
Oliver let a frustrated sigh, but under stood, why he wouldn't talk. It was the main reason that he need to talk to her in the first place. " Fine. Did she say anything about me." Oliver asked, sounding like a teenage boy asking about the his crush.
" Nothing really, but she was acting kind of strange today. She was more detected he usual. She felt so sad, but she wouldn't tell me why." Bart said pausing, " Wait, what did you do to tower?" the younger man said accusingly.
" Bart don't start, you don't even know anything," Shit I don't even know anything Oliver mentally added.
" Chloe's the strongest person I know, sometimes to me she's more invincible then Clark. But the Chloe that I saw today, was so broken, I haven't seen that look on her face since Jimmy's funeral. I don't know what you did but you better make it right." Bart said with such seriousness and anger he seemed like another person.
" That's the thing I don't even know what I did to her that made her so mad. I just need to talk to her to find out what I did to make her so angry." Oliver said with such vulnerability.
" If I tell you where she is you have to promise me that you won't hurt her again?" Oliver nodded instantly," She's at the coffee shop down the block, the one that's in front of the Planet. Seriously though Oliver I not afraid to tell A.C. and Victor about what happened with tower, tell do anything to protect her, and if that means from you we will." Bart said before heading back into the restaurant.
Oliver paused for a second before heading towards the coffee shop. If what Bart said was right then it was worse then he thought. After a couple minutes or so, Chloe was in sight face stoned with a coffee in hand. Her gaze was far off, blank her eyes were empty and lost that sparkle the he was so used to seeing in her ivory green orbs. Apart of him told him to wrap his arms around her and comfort her, but another part said to leave, he couldn't bear to see her this way. But before his mind could make that decision his body made it for him, he was a few feet way from her, but she didn't notice his presents.
He opened his mouth a couple times but no sound came out. He just stood there, staring at her. He must have stood there for what it seemed like hours. Finally the sound of his cell phone broke the silence. Without even looking at his phone he turned it off, and moved his eyes back to the blonde in front of him. " Hey can we talk?" He asked pleadingly.
" What are you doing here?" Chloe asked defeated. Eyes now on his, showing hurt and annoyance.
" Please just talk to me, I want to know what I did wrong?" Oliver pleaded, taking a seat across from her.
" Oliver there's nothing to talk about, it's not your fault. I'm sorry, I over reacted." Chloe said looking down at her coffee.
" You know how you can tell when there is something wrong with me, well that rule goes both ways okay," Oliver said with a small grin.
" There's nothing wrong, Oliver," Chloe said looking anywhere but at him.
" Then why did you leave last night with out a word? Or how you kicked me out this morning"
" Clark had some problem's with the kandorians, I had to help." Chloe lied not really meeting his eyes.
" You that's kind of funny because I talked to Clark this morning, He said he hasn't seen you since
Yesterday, and don't tell me that you were with Lois because I called her to." Oliver said the last part hold his hand to fight her protests.
" Oh," She said feeling like she got caught.
" It's okay that you didn't want to tell me but lying to me…." Oliver said eyes hurt, but Chloe cut him off.
" Oliver, I didn't mean to lie to you it's just a lot has happened, and I'm just trying to deal with it,"
" What ever your going through I'm here for you, for anything." Oliver said grabbing her hand squeezing it tightly.
" Honestly, it's nothing I'm not used to, I'm should probably head back it looked like you were with someone, and I should probably go find Bart." Chloe said standing up, before leaving she turned and looked at him and froze. " Really I'm fine Oliver, just go," Chloe walked away without another glance.
Oliver watched as she walked away, never leaving his sight until she turned the corner. He reached in his pocket seeing that the person that called from earlier left a voice mail. Playing it he heard Hal's voice, " I don't know where you went but I finished my food and got some take out for you, I'm just going to head back to the penthouse k,"
Oliver check the time on his phone and saw that it was already 5 p.m., he looked up at the skyline and saw that the sun was setting. He decide to call Chloe if she got home safe, " Hello," Chloe said through the phone.
" Chloe did you get home safe?" Oliver asked hoping she was home.
" No I'm just going to grab some coffee, then I'll head back to watchtower to be link up for parole. Look I'll talk to later tonight okay, bye," Chloe said hanging up.
Chloe turned the Corner of the coffee shop and felt a large hand cover her mouth, and then everything went black.
