Chapter 14
"hey Oliver" Bruce said clapping his hand on his shoulder "why so glum?" he asked with a huge grin on his face, Oliver had taken the gang out to the ace of clubs figuring they deserved some fun but so far he had spent the whole night with the image of Bruce's arm wrapped around Saphire or Luna's waist "no date tonight" Bruce grinned "there's a pretty hot girl at eleven o'clock in red or do you prefer your women in blue" He laughed Oliver was about to respond when he felt himself get slapped on the back of the head.
spinning round "Megan, what the hell was that for?" he said slipping his hand up to the back of his head
"that was for ruining my girls night out" she said folding her arms across her chest
"and how did i do that?" Oliver asked puzzled
"Victor has spent the last thirty minutes talking about some weird new lab computer with Katie, AC is talking about some oil spil with my friend Aqua, and Bart is distracting Paris and Cindy" she said causing Bruce to laugh "is he even legal"
"not yet" Oliver grinned knowing her annoyance was all put on
"so what are you two talking about?"
"Oliver has a little crush" Bruce said causing Oliver to glare at him 'what is he doing talking about this especially in front of her'
"Oliver" Megan laughed catching his look "we went on two dates, actually we only had half of a first date because on the second one we decided to be friends and i don't think that's enough to put me in the awkward ex's category" she said to Oliver's relief "so who is she?"
"an old friend of mine" Bruce grinned as Oliver almost growled 'you grope all your friends' he thought
"look" Oliver said putting his drink down "i gotta go take care of some stuff" he said earning himself a smirk from Bruce saying he knew exactly were he was going
"oh ok" Megan said turning to Bruce "you wanna help me rescue the girls from Bart" she said causing Bruce and Oliver to laugh he bid them both goodbye and left the club.
1 hour later
'whoa' he thought jumping down beside Saphire in full green arrow gear "nice outfit" he said looking her up and down taking in the black skintight off the hip leather trousers, blue one shouldered top and long Black jacket she was wearing
"thanks" she answered "the cold was starting to get to me and my other outfit wasn't really practical anymore" she said looking up from where she was sitting on the ground.
"are you ok?" he asked moving to sit beside her on the ground noticing the distracted look on her face.
"yeah i'm fine" she said turning to him obviously lying
"is it the boy?" he asked slipping his hand into hers and resting it on his thigh
she stared at their hands for a few seconds slightly taken aback by the action " no he's fine" she finally answered "he's talking now"
"that's good so why are you so down?"
"it's my God daughter" she sighed "she figured it out today" she said resting her head on his shoulder.
"figured what out" Oliver asked in a low voice
"the real reason" she said after a few seconds "why she's home schooled, why she can't join kids clubs" she sighed "she's only eight, i just wish she could have been older before she realised that she would have to hide who she really is from the world or she'll get hurt" she said "it sucks when you first figure out that people would be afraid if they knew the real you" she finished
"speaking from experience huh" Oliver said squeezing her hand to which she only nodded "how old were you?" he asked causing her to look up at him as if debating if she should tell him or not.
"i was seven" she said putting her head back on his shoulder " i was raised by my Grandfather and a Nanny" she continued "she wasn't always a Nanny she was my Mum's best friend but after she died she volunteered to help my Grandfather because she knew about my powers" she said biting her lip obviously worried "i'm telekenetic" she blurted out after a few seconds "i move things with my mind" she explained as Oliver nodded not wanting to say anything in case she stopped talking "we had a house in the middle of nowhere and apart from when my Nanny took me into town a rarely saw other people other than my Granddad' friends who knew about my powers so i never had to hide them" she paused for a few seconds "a few weeks after i turned seven my Grandfather had to go on a business trip and my Nanny had a family emergency so she was at home, so i went to stay with my Mum's cousin and her Husband i was told not to use my powers but in the sixth day at dinner my Mum's cousin dropped a plate when she was bringing in into the dining room i didn't think about it i just used my powers to make it fly into my hands" she stopped "when i went to hand it to her she knocked it out of my hands and slapped me and i fell over" she continued as Oliver's blood began to boil " a few seconds later her Husband grabbed me and dragged me to my room and they left me there until my Granddad showed up, when i told him he went completely mental i've never seen him so mad" she said as oliver thought 'good' "i guess i never really trusted people after that" she finished as Oliver placed a kiss on top of her head causing her to pull her head off his shoulder and just stare at him. Oliver held onto her hand and placed his other hand on her cheek his lips were only a few centimeters away from hers and he could feel her warm breath caressing his lips.
"hey Bossman " a voice said causing Oliver to drop his hand from her face and spin round
"Impulse" he practically growled "what are you doing here?"
"just passing through" he grinned "why wasn't interupting anything was i" he laughed
"Impulse" Megan grinned "your the fast kid" to which Bart nodded "yeah i heard you had a run in with a friend of mine" she smiled "whirlwind, i'm sorry about her she's still kinda new and tends to get carried away, she said she threw you into a garbage can i hope you weren't hurt" she smirked. the blush spreading across Bart's face was enough to tell Oliver that it was true causing him to burst out laughing "well" she said standing up "i gotta go promised i would meet up with a friend of mine said he had something i should see" she said smiling at them "stay out of trouble boys"
"always" Oliver grinned as she disappeared in a flash of smoke "garbage can" he said standing up to face Bart with a smirk on his face
"oh shut up" he barked back causing Oliver to burst out laughing again
