Oliver's Mystery Guest
Disclaimer: Practically inspired by my own 'Meet The Wallers' fic since the idea of these two together is starting to appeal to me. Oliver did not sleep with Helena or McKenna but Helena was still far too gone to keep from going down her path. Takes place after the second time Helena shows up and Oliver and Tommy had a talk afterwards that has made everything peachy keen instead of un-needed stupid ass future drama between those two where the Vertigo return is concerned.
Summary: Many are quite curious over Oliver's mystery guest during a Queen/Merlyn hosted Charity Gala.
Suffice it to say, many were quite curious over Oliver's mystery guest that had shown up shortly after the Charity Gala had begun. Especially due to the apparent fact that both Oliver and the mystery guest were quite familiar with. Not to mention the big beaming smile no one had seen Oliver have on his face in years. His guest was dressed in a midnight blue sparkling backless gown with her hair down and she'd been by his side ever since getting there. Even showing that she was a damn good dancer too for that matter! And anytime anyone tried to get a question or two their way to find out the lovely woman was with him, the two would waltz away from them with laughter ringing out. Laurel was feeling a range of emotions from jealousy, anger, and happiness. Jealousy cause a part of her wished that it was her with him and making him smile like that. Anger cause he was practically having a good time while her sister was still dead. Making her want to go over to the dark skinned woman and tell her she was better off not trying her luck with Ollie. And finally, happiness. Happiness because Ollie seemed to be enjoying himself and looking quite relaxed more then she'd seen him be ever since coming home from that island.
It'd be Moira who would finally be able to get them to stop for a short time with a pointed look and her arms crossed. "Oh! Uhh, hi mom!" Greeted Oliver cheerfully while his mystery guest shook her head with a laugh.
"Oliver, sweetheart, while I am immensely pleased to see you looking so happy and carefree, I must admit that I and a good deal many of the others here are rather curious about who your friend is."
"My bad mom. I just got really excited about my friend being here that I just couldn't help but keep her all to myself."
Moira smiled at him, happy to hear that. His guest then pulled herself away from Oliver with a smile aimed at his mother and extended her hand. "Hi, Mrs. Queen. I'm Amanda Waller."
The Queen Matriarch took it and shook it with a pleased smile, glad to know who the young lady is now! A grin came across Oliver's face as he leaned over and began to stage whisper. "I like to call her Mandy myself."
"Oliver!" Exclaimed Amanda scandalized. Though there was a twinkle in her eyes that said she wasn't nearly as scandalized as she was making herself out to be.
He chuckled at her. "What!? Its true!"
"Yes, of course it is. But only when in private!"
"But we got plenty of privacy back on Lian Yu. Soooo… Its time to share with the world!"
Of course they had never actually met on Lian Yu but it was the cover story they were choosing to use since both figured it might be a bit more believable. Amanda shook her head with a fondness about her while Thea came up with an unhappy expression on her face. "I thought you were alone on that island?"
"Well, on occasion I was. Which really sucked and made me feel like I was going insane." Okay, so that was kind of a lie but nobody had to know that!
"And you two… Met on the island?" Thea asked suspiciously while Roy tried to keep himself from being too noticed by Oliver.
"That's correct, he helped keep me alive while I was there."
"Aside from me, a Russian, a few former kidnapped Freighter prisoners, and Mandy here, nobody else who was on the island is alive." Another lie as there was Constantine and those immigrant workers that had been kidnapped but he wasn't gonna mention that.
Thea and Moira looked at one another in surprise. "Wow. That's something." Muttered the girl while their mother nodded in agreement.
"Well, I for one am glad to know the two of you had one another on that horrible island." Commented Moira happily.
Amanda smiled at her. "I am too." Replied the woman as she looked up at Oliver with affection and something else in her eyes.
A look he himself was returning and Thea more so then her mother was starting to think one or two things. "Wanna get back to dancing?"
"Well, this is a welcome change from me having to drag you into it." Teased Amanda and making Oliver roll his eyes.
The two went back to dancing after that before his family or even his friends could say anything else much to their annoyance. "Their in love." Stated Thea assuredly.
"Oh come on Speedy, there's no way!" Retorted Tommy quickly.
Thea fixed him a look. "You didn't really see the way they were looking at one another. Trust me, I know that of what I speak of."
Her words made her brother's best friend snort much to her slight annoyance. "Now now children, let's argue about this later."
Reluctantly, the young Queen backed off but she gave Tommy a look once he stuck his tongue out at her while her mother wasn't looking. They and others watched Oliver and his friend dance the night away while having fun of their own. But then a surprising moment happened when Amanda got down on one knee and pulled something out of her purse. "Oliver Jonas Queen-Waller, would you do me the honor of marrying me again?"
Gasps and other reactions could be heard and seen throughout the room as everyone present witnessed the scene in front of them. "I TOLD YOU!" Yelled out a triumphant Thea.
Oliver let loose with a laugh over his sister's antics as he looked down at his wife. "I thought you'd never ask." He told her with a smile and then slipped the ring on to his finger.
Where it rightfully belonged. Standing up with glistening tears in her normally cold eyes, Amanda embraced him and the two kissed quite passionately as cheers went up. And when Lance finally heard about the whole thing the next day, his response wasn't necessarily a kind one. But he was at least glad that this meant the Punk wouldn't try anything again with his only remaining daughter. Or so he hoped anyway.
Author's Notes: This didn't exactly cure my need for more Amanda/Oliver but none the less, may those of you who read it will have enjoyed!
