Aqua Canary

Disclaimer: Alright, one thing first before getting to the fun stuff. In relation to a guest reviewer, I'm sorry but I do not go for male/male slash unless its already canon. So a Barry/Oliver chapter will NOT be happening. Now that that's out of the way, I ended up getting inspired for this thanks to Twitter after a comment was made about Tina/Dinah's new suit. As always, I own nothing but what you see here!

Summary: Rene would always deny it, but Dinah was certain it really was his fault for the new code name getting stuck on her!

"Huh." Stated Rene 'Wild Dog' Ramirez thoughtfully down in the Arrow team's Bunker while looking thoughtfully at Dinah Drake's new outfit courtesy of Cisco Ramon from STAR Labs with some input from her. Said new suit being something she had asked the team for some commentary on.

It'd been roughly 6 months since Lian Yu had gone bye bye thanks to Adrian Chase's lunacy with the only losses being Adrian himself, Talia, Malcolm, a bunch of Talia's men, Evelyn Sharpe unfortunately, and Felicity Smoak. Though she hadn't actually died as more just having chosen to leave the team cause she really didn't want to be around to watch Oliver try and bring Laurel-2 over to their side with some assistance from Quentin, Thea, and occasionally Sara. As Felicity personally thought it was pointless but no one bothered to care enough about what she thought of the matter. Thinking it merely just her being jealous of the whole thing. No one was sure if Digger Harkness was even alive for that matter either but Lyla still had searchers out for him none the less to try and find him dead or alive. Rory from where he was just rolled his eyes at his team mate. Knowing Rene was more then likely checking Dinah out a bit openly for everyone to see given how they had been acting around one another lately. "What man?" Snapped Rene defensively.

"Nothing. Just should have expected your mind to go somewhere else where her new look is concerned given how you two have been acting around one another lately."

Rene narrowed his eyes at the Ragman, who thankfully had returned to the team two months ago after getting his suit's issues sorted ou thanks to John Constantine and someone he knew. Though Rory was a bit displeased over Evelyn's death considering the feelings he had for her. Dinah merely rolled her eyes at the whole thing while Oliver and the others complimented her new Cisco-fied suit. "That's NOT what I was doin', Rags." Finally said Rene shortly.

"Yeah, he was actually thinkin' about takin' little Zoe to that new Disney movie that came out yesterday. Or at least he'd better be." Grumbled Lance from where he was sitting and having a thumb war of all things with Laurel-2.

Who'd thankfully forgiven him for whacking her in the back on the island some time ago. And he'd forgiven her for working for Chase, leading to a whole tearful hugging moment to happen between the two. Slade reportedly still felt rather nauseous anytime he thought of that particular scene. Rene just sighed. "Actually, no, I wasn't thinkin' about that either. But its a good idea." Admitted the Vigilante father.

Who was thankful as Hell he'd managed to get Zoe back into his life thanks to a little help from Quentin and Oliver. Granted, there had been some worry given the fact he'd been kidnapped but they had managed to put that worry to rest and the girl and Oliver and Samantha's son William had become fast friends. Something that was made possible when Samantha chose to move to Star so that Oliver could finally be in his son's life more often. Who still thought it was cool that his dad is the Green Arrow! Not that it dampened his hero worship of Central City's the Flash of course! Even if there was some new guy calling himself Kid Flash who'd apparently taken over the Flash's spot for whatever reason… Rene got a glower from Lance but he paid it no mind. "So what were you thinking?" Dinah asked curiously to her kind of sort of maybe boyfriend.

"Probably wondering how fast he can get you out of that thing." Laurel-2 remarked with a wink, knowing it would get dad in a fuss since he'd gained something of a protective streak over the Drake Canary.

Oliver could also be see grimacing at that as well much to her delight. "You're all laugh riots, seriously." Came the hot head's annoyed response.

A chuckle could be heard from Curtis. "Oh come on, you know you love it."

"I love it like I love gettin' shot at. But anyway! What I was thinkin' was about the mesh stuff on parts of her outfit. The whole blue/green theme under it makes the whole thing look like scales and all that."

Everyone looked at the parts of the outfit he had mentioned and weren't entirely sure if he was imagining that or not. "Puppy, I seriously think you've watched the Little Mermaid one too many times recently." Remarked Laurel-2 in amusement.

Making Rene roll his eyes at both the 'puppy' remark and what came after it. "Yeah, I don't see it either." Dinah said as she looked at the meshed areas.

"Right, sure y'all don't. But considerin' it looks like scales to me, think you oughta call yourself 'Aqua Canary' insteada 'Black Canary' since it looks like it'd make more sense." Rene said with a shrug.

And admittedly thinking to himself that it would probably be fun getting her out of that suit. Dinah looked at him. "Rene, I'm not gonna go by that name."

"Aww, why not! I could take Black Canary and then we'd be the Canaries! Would own everyone here and oh, hey! We could start a band! Call it 'The Canaries'." Offered up Laurel-2 with a bright smile on her lips.

"Its good to see my genius bein' recognized in some way."

Laurel-2 merely gave him a thumb's up while Dinah wondered if the Earth-2 native was screwing with her. "You know… I kinda like the new name since the mesh and blue/green areas do look like scales." Curtis finally said moments later after having thought the whole thing over.

His words made Rene grin rather widely in happiness. "Guys, I'm not gonna call myself 'Aqua Canary'!" Declared Dinah sternly with a sigh.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately depending on who you ask. The name would stick much to the Vigilante Cop's chagrin and Black Siren became Black Canary. As for how long it took to find out how long it took Rene to get Dinah out of the suit? Well, he'd tell you 3 minutes while she'd say it took him ten minutes.
