Chapter 5: Awkward Meetings
"Roy, will you come out of that room?" Karen yelled through the door.
No response as she knocked twice.
"Roy! I'm telling you, it's your turn to go to the store!"
Crickets chirped.
"DON'T MAKE ME GO IN THERE!"
Karen let out a scream of frustration, stomped her feet as she noticed from the corner of her eye that a certain Atlantean in civvies was walking with a book in his hands towards her.
"Garth, how long has he been in there?" She inquired.
Garth sighed before quietly replying
"...since Saturday…"
One could feel Karen's blood boiling at this point, she could very well be a steam boat with all the steam coming out of her ears.
"SINCE SATURDAY?! It's Tuesday! Well, Garth, I suppose you will go since Roy won't come out. We need someone to go if Roy doesn't."
"But-" Garth was cut off before he could complete the sentence.
"I said go!" Karen quickly turned around and flew off before another excuse was made.
~Supermarket: random aisle~
"So what do we need?" No one was around as Garth talked to himself.
Checking the list, there were five different handwritings. Two of which were in Spanish.
"Oh great, what's pl...plat..ano..? ma..cho and le..che...ra..?"
Strolling over to the back aisle, he grabbed all the basics. Throwing them in the basket, he mumbled to himself.
"Okay, so got eggs, milk, bread, and whatever that is the two things the twins wanted. So now it's Roy, Karen, and myself."
He pondered about Roy's condition as he picked up some meats and a salad. Walking down, he began to look for his favorites snack.
Just then he turned the corner, he was face to face with a certain blonde haired man.
"Oh excuse me." the blonde man spoke to him like an old long lost friend.
"Uh...yeah.…not a problem?" Garth looked at the man up and down.
Oliver chuckled to himself as he took a quick look at Garth.
"Are you out shopping for yourself?"
Garth peeked into his basket before replying to the blonde man.
"I'm out shopping for the rest of the people I live with. We all take turns getting groceries."
Garth looked at the man with a confused look.
"The name's Oliver Queen. May I ask what your name is?"
Garth feel his eyes widen in realization as to who it was.
"...Garth…" He replied in the most quiet voice possible.
Though Oliver had heard clearly what the boy had said. He became quiet also at realization of who Garth was.
Fear gripped the young Titan as he wished the ground would eat him so that he wouldn't have to deal with the man who abandoned Roy.
The air around the two was quite uncomfortable as silence grew upon them.
Looking around to make sure no one was within earshot of the two, Oliver was the first to speak up.
"You wouldn't happen to be Aqualad, would you?"
Garth looked around himself before replying to the man to make sure this was no mistake to being the one and only Green Arrow.
"I am, and you are?"
Oliver stood a bit more proudly and finally spoke smugly.
"I'm Green Arrow."
Garth couldn't help it, but he really couldn't deny how good it felt to hit/punch the pompous man.
See you in the next chapter!
