Chapter 7
"shit" Oliver cursed loudly as he was slammed into the wall by one on the three men who had attacked him they were obviously a professional co-ordinated team probably a gift from Lex he thought as he smashed one of the men on the right temple rendering him unconscious and shooting a tazer taking another down. BANG came the sound of a gun shot from behind him spinning round he saw the unconscious form of his third attacker lying on the ground gun still in his hand and towering over him Hawkman
"hey green punching bag" he said in his gruff voice with a smirk "still can't handle yourself i see" he said motioning to the unconscious man by his feet. as Oliver's jaw tensed remembering Megan's hurt expression when she had spoken about her Father flashing into his mind. "Not that i mind" Hawkman continued "it's my first night back in town and i'm already saving your green backside" he said smiling "then again what else am i gonna do"
"i don't know maybe visit your Daughter" Oliver barked back unable to control his tongue any longer " then again why break the habit of a lifetime" he said through gritted teeth.
"daughter, what daugter?" Hawkman asked now confused "Chiara and i never had kids" he said starring at Oliver as if he'd gone mad.
"i was talking about Megan" he ground out "yours and Piper Fossil's daughter remember her?"
"Piper? we never had a daughter. we were only together for about a month before she went back to Scotland" he said looking even more confused 'oh god he doesn't know about her' flashed through Oliver's mind "i have a daugher" Hawkman said shaking his head in disbelief, how old is she 24?" he said looking once again at Oliver.
"25" he corrected "you really didn't know about her?" Oliver asked after a few minutes silence, Hawkman only shook his head in response Oliver wasn't sure if he should fill him in but didn't see any other choice "she thinks you abandoned her" he said as Hawkman's head snapped up to look at him in disbelief "that you left her Mother the day she was born"
"that's a lie!" Hawkman almost yelled "i wouldn't do that" he finished quieting down "she must hate me" he muttered staring at the ground.
"she's angry" Oliver agreed seeing no point in lying "but i'm sure once she knows the truth she'll understand" to which Hawkman only scoffed
"yeah she'll believe a man she's never met over her own Mother" Hawkman paused "she's dead right?" Hawkman asked looking at Oliver again
"murdered" Oliver informed him "Megan apparently saw the whole thing" he said noting the look of pain in his eyes and he felt genuine sympathy for the man he previously couldn't stand.
"i want to meet her" Hawkman said finally after a few minutes silence "can you arrange that?" he said looking oliver directly in the eye. Oliver was about to reply when Watchtower's voice appeared
"Arrow, robbery in progress at Bank 7 blocks East, 4 hostages get there now" once she finished he looked back up at the older man who nodded recognising the fact that he needed to leave but the look on his face said that they would finish this discussion later. As Oliver turned away al he could think was 'why would they lie to her'.
