A/N: Hello every one. This is short I know, but two updates in one night? I'm proud. This one is going to take some planning….Happy Holidays! All mistakes are my own. I don't own anything, only borrowing for fun.
Oliver sat in his wheel chair on the patio of the apartment, staring at the night sky.
"So you do realize this isn't the safest or most secure spot for you to be right?" The voice spoke from above him.
Oliver chuckled. "I just needed some air."
Archangel landed and hid in the shadows. "So are you trying to get on Tower's radar?" Warren teased.
Oliver sighed. "No… ."
Warren sighed and flipped his hood back. "Ollie I understand, believe me. After the event that changed me….it was hard to adjust, regain myself worth, and believe that my friends would still be my friends no matter what." He spoke rolling his shoulders to work out the kinks in his neck.
"That was never an issue for me."
"And a few other folks, who helped me get through the awkwardness of it all. Which I'm really grateful for. That's what this is all about, for you. Your friends, will be your friends, no matter what." he moved and bumped Ollie's shoulder with his fist. "Just don't spend so much time out here that you talk yourself into anything foolish, like not being worthy or deserving." Oliver shot him a look. "Yeah I just said that." He smirked. "Ollie, this could come to a head really fast with the people we have working on this. The people that have absolute faith in you." He sighed and massaged his temples. "And when this is over, and you face them in court, you win. Hell you've won already just by surviving. But facing them in court will be a final victory for you. All you need to do is hang on my friend. Hang on with the same will that kept you alive. We all see your strength and are doing this for you."
"Thanks, Warren,"
"Nothing at all to thank me for. Now I need to go see if there is any of Pepper's dessert left." He grinned and started to head into Ollie's home.
"Can I give you some advice?" he spoke smirking at his friend as he turned his wheel chair. . He nodded his assent. "She is a treasure you find once in a lifetime, learn from my mistakes, don't let her get away." Warren sighed and shook his head. "You two have danced around each other for years."
"Thanks Ollie, and uh don't worry. I don't intend to let her get away." He spoke stepping into the suite. "You want me to get Chloe for you?" he asked.
"Don't worry." The vivacious blond spoke from the door way. "She's here." She spoke with laughter in her voice.
"And with that I'm out." He spoke entering the apartment. Oliver just shook his head and sighed and looked back up into the sky.
"You ok stretch?" Chloe asked moving to stand behind him and rest her hands on his shoulders and began to massage them.
"You know what sidekick? I think I'm going to be. I really think I'm going to be." He spoke and turned his head from side to side to kiss her hands.
