Later at the Kent's farm after the dinner, Clark and Oliver were in the porch talking about the last events.

"That was close, huh?" Clark reminds him who nodded.

"Too close." Oliver agreed while he was drinking a glass of wine. "I don't think Lois will give up that easily."

"Yeah, I know." Clark nods also worried. "Especially after what that woman… Huntress said."

"Yeah, Helena always has to screw up things even more."

"But what can we do? I'm absolutely sure Lois is still convinced that you are the Green Arrow"

"Actually, I have an idea. If you are willing to help me."

"Anything. What would be?"

"You could be the Green Arrow." Oliver pointed out shocking Clark.

"Huh?"

"Think, Clark… it's perfect. You pretend to be him for one night; she'll see me and him in the same place and will stop digging about it."

"It's not that easy, Oliver. She'll probably stop to think you are the Green Arrow, but she will still be digging about his true identity."

"Maybe, but at least I'll buy some time. Come on, it's Dinah's last week here. You owe me one."

"How come?"

"Well, I saved you today did I?"

"Actually, Lois and Dinah saved me." Clark pointed out with a sarcastic smile. "Fine." He sighed frustrated since seems he didn't have any choice. "I'll help you. But if anything goes wrong, it's your fault."

"Nothing will go be wrong if you do everything I said."

"Okay, so what we will do?" Clark asked curious as Oliver grinned at him.

"Go to my office tomorrow and I let you know. Come on, it's not polite to talk about business in a Thanksgiving Day."

Lois and Dinah were talking while Chloe was in the phone talking to Jimmy.

"So, Dinah… now that we are friends. Could I ask you something?" Lois asked with curiosity in her eyes.

"Sure." Dinah nods grinning.

"What happened between you and Ollie?" Lois asked to Dinah who frowns. "I know that was something serious… I know it's not of my business but…"

"No, it's okay. Well, we are in this relationship for ten years already. Things always get in our away to tear us apart." Dinah explained with a sad expression. "But the thing is… Oliver biggest dream is to became a father…. And mine too, of course. What woman doesn't want that?" Dinah took a sip of her water before continued as Lois was paying attention to her story. "The thing is… we tried… But…"

"But…" Lois asked already anxious to know what happened. "But what?"

"I can't have children." Dinah completed her sentence letting a tear rolling from her eyes. "Oliver doesn't blame me for that, in fact he was wonderful but… It was my problem. My issue. I couldn't handle that and the fact Babs was shot at the same time."

"Wait. I'm lost now. Who is Babs?" Lois asked confused.

"My best friend in Gotham. We used to work together all the time. Well, we still do it, but not like we used to. One of the worst criminals in Gotham City shot her and… I prefer don't enter in details for what he did to her but… after that, she can't walk anymore."

"I'm sorry, Dinah." Lois puts her hand in Dinah's shoulder trying to comfort her. "Must be really hard for you."

"Yeah, it was. So, I decide to have a break in our relationship. Oliver understands it very well but… I know he still loves me. God, I still love him but I can't give him what he wants. That's the main reason why our relationship is doomed."

"Why? Because you can't have children?" Lois asked skeptical. "Dinah, I already see you together. You are a great team… Why don't you try to adopt or something like that? I could bet you and Oliver would be wonderful foster parents if you decided to try."

"You really think so?" Dinah asked still with a stubborn tear trying to roll from her eyes.

"I know so. Talk to him. I know for you sure he would want to do that." Lois suggested with a big grin.

"I'll do that. Thank you, Lois."

"You're welcome, Dinah."

After Chloe finished her conversation with Jimmy and hang up, Lois approached her

"So, how is he?"

"He is fine." Chloe said with a smile. "He is so sweet, he said he misses me."

"Wow, seems this time will work, right?" Lois pointed out making Chloe shaking her head.

"I hope so. He'll come back tomorrow since he'll spend the night on his mom's."

"Great."

"And how about you, Lois? Are you okay? After everything you went through…"

"I'm fine, Chloe." Lois snapped at her before she noticed Clark and Oliver are back in the living room. "Don't worry; everything is going to be okay."

"Yeah, I know. And how about you and Clark?"

"What about it?"

"Well… how are you?" Chloe asked as Lois keept pretending she didn't understand the question.

"I talk to you later, okay Chlo? I need to talk to Clark."

"Sure, go ahead."

Clark and Lois went to Clark's room as Lois closed the door before hugging Clark.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Lois asked concerned with him. "I mean, that Shiva woman really hurt you."

"I'm a little sore, but I'll be okay, Lois. Don't worry."

"Yes, I'm worried, Clark. None of this would happen if I had found out Green Arrow's true identity. It's my fault."

"No, it's not, Lois. It's nobody's fault!"

"Okay, You can try to convince me that it's not but in the meanwhile, I'll find out who this guy is and I'm kinda glad it's not Oliver. First thing I'll do tomorrow it's to follow this guy and find out who he is. And I'll have the evidence of his true identity."

"Evidence? How?"

"You will see, tomorrow."

Lois and Clark stared at each other without saying a word when Clark smiled at her.

"Lois, I think we should talk."

"Yeah, we should…"

They approached each other ready to share a kiss before Oliver opened the door, interrupting them.

"Hey… Am I interrupting...?"

"NO!" They said in unison, annoyed by his interruption.

"Sorry, but your mom is calling, Clark. It seems she needs help to serve the dessert."

"Okay." Clark sighed frustrated because that was the second almost kiss between him and Lois. He wonder if someday he would be able to kiss her without any interruption.

They went back to the table as Lois sat frustrated next to Chloe who was sending a text message to Jimmy. "What happened?"

"Nothing" Lois answered grumpy.

"Lois, come on… I'm your cousin. You know you can tell me anything."

"Well, Clark and I were in his room … and…"

"And…" Chloe waited anxious for her answer.

"We almost… we almost…"

"Kissed?" Chloe completed impatient.

"Yeah."

"What happened?"

"Oliver interrupted to tell us about the dessert." Lois explained still frustrated.

"That's too bad. That's what happens when you are in a full house."

"Yeah, you are right." Lois nodded before noticing Clark, Martha and Oliver were back to the table with some strawberry pie.

Dinah approached Clark who was talking to Oliver with a smile. "Can I interrupt?"

"Sure." The boys said with a smile.

"Thank you for inviting me for your thanksgiving, Clark. It was very sweet of you."

"No problem. You became a very good friend of mine, like Oliver is." Clark said with a smile making Oliver chuckled. "So, when you'll leave?"

"In a few days. A week or two." Dinah revealed making Oliver arch his eyebrow.

"Two weeks?" Oliver repeat surprised. "But Helena said…"

"I know what Helena said… but I just talk with Barbara. She is okay if I stay two more weeks. I know I'm here for at least two months but…I don't want to leave you just yet, Ollie. I want to rebuild our relationship the right way. So, I told Barbara I would help them if they need me, but I'll stay in Metropolis for more two weeks."

"Too bad, it's not three." Oliver said sarcastically. "I have some friends that will arrive in the city soon."

"Friends?"

"Yeah."

"Who are they?" Clark asked curiously as Oliver smirked at him.

"You'll see."
