Chapter 2
Pulling up outside the country mansion oliver queen stepped out of his limo gone was the serious crime fighter and in his place was the playboy billionaire smiling as he climbed up he steps passed the dorrman vaguely noticing the strange plant and symbols carved around the doorway.
The party was being held all the way through the bottom floor of the eleven bedroom house which looked strange with so many people in it, it looked like one of those houses which had been abandoned for centuries and had suddenly found inhabitants it this case in the form of five siblings Declan, William, Henry, Seth and Megan apparently each had their own sector of the business which they controled based on their strengths and were apparently all geniuses all of them had graduated early from high school and collegue Megan had just come out of Yale Medical School 1 year ago at 24 and was now running all the medical aspects of the compan which was the leading one in the world, Declan was in charge as the oldest making sure they all did their jobs and it was him who he was trying to locate in the fog of Metropolis's elite, Henry was in charge of the Tech department having graduated MI at 21 and Will handled all militar contracts and dealing with the police and Seth dealt with pubic reations and ran their comic book industry which he founded.
"Queen" a hand landed on Oliver's shoulder forcing him to turn around snapping him out of his memory of what Tess had told him before he had left in the limo.
"Bruce Wayne" Oliver said a genuine smile appearing on his face "it's been too long. What are you doing here?" he said shaking the other man's hand.
"Megan invited me" he said "we dated for a few months last year"he shrugged his shoulders "but we're still friends"
"dated" oliver laughed taking a drink from a passing waiter quirking an amused eyebrow "since when did Bruce Wayne date"
"Megan's different from the usual bimbos" he said a faint smile appearing on his lips
"Then why did you break up" oliver asked genuinely confused now
"She didn't trust me" he shrugged "she was always running off somewhere with her brother's they've got this weird co-dependancy thing going with each other. but i suppose it's to be expected their Mother died when they were young Megan can't even remember her the boys Father is never around and Megan's never met her Dad"
"ever think she didn't trust you because she knew she knew you hiding something from her batboy" Bruce just shrugged. "How did their Mother die" oliver asked curious about this strange family who had suddenly appeared in his life.
"murdered" he sighed starring into his whiskey "along with the two aunts apparently Megan saw the whole thing it's the only memory she has of them but she never talks about it " he finished as he fell into silence obviously remembering his own parents murder. He was about to say something but was stopped.
"Why so sad?" came a female voice from behind him"it's not like i let Aunt Kirsten cook"
Oliver turned around and his tongue instantly stuck to the roof of his mouth as a beautiful girl with raven black hair in an emerald green dress which clung to her figure showing off a subtle hint of cleavage. Bruce instantly moved to give the girl a hug.
"Megan this is Oliver Queen. Oliver this is Megan Fossil" he said his head nodding between the two of them this is when he noticed her eyes deep blue they reminded him of the woman from the previous evening but they weren't as deep a blue they were similar not the same.
"good evening" he said taking her hand and planting a kiss on it. "Aunt Kirsten"he asked slightly curious
"yeah don't worry don't piss me off and i won't slip you any of her cooking" she smiled
"oliver be nice" Bruce said trying badly to be serious "at least until her cooking is banned" whack a hand slapped across around the back of his head his hand sliding to the back of his head.
"watch it " said a middle aged blonde woman from behind him " i have fresh ingredients in the kitchen and i'll use them" she smiled giving Bruce a hug. He's never seen Bruce so at ease and that was how the evening continued he met the whole family and listened as they teased each other.
By the time he slid back into the limo he was quite sure that he liked the whole family but for obvious reasons he felt he's like to spend more time with Megan he'd spent the whole night starring at her which he was amazed she hadn't noticed but her Brother's had and none of them appeared to be to thrilled about his attentions not that he could blame them he was some playboy who was oggling their little sister if positions were reversed he doubted he'd be too happy either. Besides it was that damn dresses fault it had him thinking things he was sure would make even Bruce blush speaking of which he probably wouldn't be too happy with him putting the moves on her despite their differences he was his best friend who better to understand one billionaire vigilante than another. Just as this though was running through his mind an image of her in thet dress passed through his mind again. throwing his head back against the seat of the limo in frustration "damn dress" he sighed.
