Author's Note: Another addition to 'Laser Tag'. Eliza gets a list of 'cool lingo' to use… amusement ensues.
At the sound of distinct voices entering the Foundry, Eliza jumped down from the salmon ladder.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Queen and Mr. Harper. How is your day faring?"
"Eliza!" Roy shouted in excitement. "Just the girl we were looking for!"
"Does Team Arrow require my assistance, Mr. Harper?"
"Nah, it's nothing like that. Thea and I have something to give to you."
"Yeah, here. We made this list for you." Thea said as she handed the redhead a piece of paper.
"What is 'cool lingo'?" Eliza asked as she read through the list with a furrowed brow.
"It's like a bunch of words that we use here in the United States. You League members always talk really proper and stuff. So we figured that a list could help you fit in a little more."
"Is the way I speak too strange? I do not understand why I should have to change the way I speak."
"No, no, no, he didn't mean it like that!" Thea cut in quickly. "It's just, you know, maybe you can use this to… impress Felicity or something. Show her that you're willing to adapt to our culture and whatnot."
"… Felicity would appreciate this?"
"Yeah, of course! She'll love you even more for it!"
"If this will make her happier, I shall try out this new lingo."
"This cave is swaggy."
Felicity froze and slowly turned away from her computer screen to look at her girlfriend with a strange expression. "I'm sorry but what did you just say?"
"I said that your Arrow cave is swaggy." Eliza said with a proud grin.
"I-uh… why? Where did you even hear that word?"
"Mr. Harper and Ms. Queen gave me a list of 'cool lingo'. They said that I must start using this lingo to fit in around here… that you would greatly appreciate it."
"…"
"Am I not boss enough?"
"What - "
"Hey guys! What are you two lovebirds up to?" Sara interrupted from the entrance of the Foundry. The blonde and the Heir to the Demon made their way into the cave and onto the training mats.
"Yes, how are you two doing? Felicity, I reviewed your new programs and they seem close to perfection." Nyssa said as she and her girlfriend began to wrap their hands in preparation of sparring. "Eliza, I hope that you have been keeping up with your training."
"Of course, Nyssa. I have been training up to the League's standards."
"Are you certain, little one?"
"I - "
"Would you like to have a quick spar with me to test that theory?"
"Um, hold on just for a minute. Eliza really doesn't have the time to spar with you right now. We, uh, were just in the middle of a conversation and I'd really like to continue it… back at my apartment. If that's okay with you, Nyssa?"
"Yeah, that's totally cool," Sara cut in with a smile. "Nys and I were about to get our spar on, so you two go have fun!"
The two women were in Felicity's apartment, sitting comfortably on the couch. The blonde cuddled into her girlfriend's side and tightened her arm around the redhead's waist. She frowned at how tense the assassin was and tilted her head up to press a kiss against the woman's jaw.
"What's wrong, baby? You've been tense ever since we got back from the Foundry."
"Does my new lingo not please you?" Eliza questioned with a small pout. "Mr. Harper suggested that I twerk for you if you were not fully pleased. However, I am not certain what 'twerking' means… nor do I understand what it entails."
Those two are never allowed to talk to my girlfriend ever again. Felicity closed her eyes and had to bite her lip to contain her frustrated sigh. She sat up and placed her hands on each side of her lover's face. "You please me, Eliza. You don't need any of this 'cool lingo' to fit in or whatever. I think you fit in just fine. Don't listen to those two idiots, okay? I love you the way you are. Don't ever think differently."
Eliza blushed at the ferocity of the older woman's words. "So you do not wish for me to twerk?"
"No, baby. You don't need to do that." Felicity chuckled softly at the innocent look on her girlfriend's face. She leaned in for a sweet kiss and pressed their foreheads together.
"I love you, Felicity Smoak."
"I love you too, Eliza Lee." Felicity murmured against the younger woman's lips before pushing her down into the cushions and drawing her lover in for a deep kiss. "I love you so much."
