Chapter Three
Oliver Queen was awed when the introductions were done. He was sitting in this room with ten of the most extraordinary people on the planet. And he was chosen to be there. It was an honor. Then Gibbs nodded at him. He stood up. "As you now know, I'm Oliver. Rooms have been arranged, if you would please follow me." He walked out of the room with the other trailing behind. Up one more flight of stairs, then he stopped at the first door. "Elsa Winters?" She entered the room, and he assigned the rest. After he was finished, Gibbs told them he was going back to his safe house and that they were to have the rest of today off, but tomorrow they started working. They were to do anything they wanted, but they had to stay in this certain wing of the house. Oliver heard Dean mutter, "As if we could find our way out," and tried not to laugh. Then, Gibbs left. Everyone was kind of standing there awkwardly until Oliver led them to this wing's living room. Then chaos ensued as everyone tried to get a spot of the leather couches. Then Tony broke the awkwardness by getting up and fiddling with the television. "This is a nice T.V. Kinda like the one at Stark Tower." He muttered to himself. He turned it on, and in less than a minute had enabled it with surround sound. Oliver's jaw dropped. He'd been trying to figure that out for weeks. Tony tossed the remote to Loki and asked, "Well? What are we watching?"
After ten minutes of arguing, Niklaus snatched the remote out of Loki's hands and chose Dracula. They all looked at him funny. "What? It's funny to see how wrong these vampire movies are," he said, smirking. Oliver went to the kitchen and returned with popcorn. Then they all settled down to watch the classic.
As soon as the movie was done, Steve suggested they play board games. Dean rolled his eyes at the suggestion, but everyone agreed. Carrie, Tony, and Sherlock played Trivial Pursuit. Steve, Dean, Clint, and Loki played Risk. Elsa, Niklaus, and Oliver played Monopoly. Hours later, Oliver excused himself from the game and went to make supper. After twenty minutes of crashing and yelling, Carrie went after him and helped. Supper turned out edible, because Carrie did most of the work, assigning Oliver to setting the table. Sitting down and eating supper together helped them get comfortable with one another. They were no longer formal, now using nicknames and telling jokes. Oliver was eating his third plateful when Tony turned to Klaus and asked, "So...how old are you? Well, you must be old 'cause you're a vamp, right?" Klaus merely smiled. "I am around 1,000 years old. I stopped celebrating birthdays years ago." Tony looked like he wanted to ask more questions, but just then Carrie brought in dessert: raspberry pie. Dean's eyes lit up as he dug in. "Carrie," he said, pointing his fork at her. "You are my new favorite person." Carrie laughed. "You'll forget that as soon as someone else brings you another pie." Dean shrugged and devoured his piece. Klaus played with his a little, not eating much. As everyone was finishing, Dean asked Klaus, "You gonna finish that?" Klaus shrugged and slid the plate to him. Dean happily ate the other piece. Elsa helped Carrie do the dishes, and everyone went to bed. Oliver went over to his families' wing to sleep in his bedroom. His last thought before he fell asleep was, this could actually be fun.
