Back to work with dl_greenarrow

After that very long morning and an even longer nap, they woke up, or Oliver did and Chloe woke up when she felt him moving on the bed beside her. It took her a second to realize where they were but when she felt slightly uncomfortable because she had fallen asleep in her jeans, she remembered.

Rubbing her face, she took a deep breath and glanced at Oliver, whispering, "what time is it?"

Oliver pressed a kiss against her temple and turned over to pick up his watch off the small bedside stand. Squinting in the darkness of the room and against the brightness the green glowing digits let off, he frowned a little. "Nearly two."

With a sigh, she made a face, shaking her head a little, "we shouldn't have slept this long."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"You need your rest," he responded gently, turning onto his side so he was facing her. He rubbed her back gently. "How are you feeling?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

Oliver couldn't help but grin, shaking his head a little. Even after two years of not talking to any of them, the team still took care of them. He slid his arms around Chloe from behind, resting his hands over her stomach and leaning in to kiss her cheek. "We have pretty amazing friends," he murmured, feeling grateful for their thoughtfulness.

Sighing deeply, smile still on her face, she nodded as she leaned back into him and rubbed her hands over his arms slowly, "we really do."

It was good to have the boys again, it had been just the two of them for so long, Chloe had forgotten how nice it was to have more people around and how much the team felt like a family to her. Especially now, it sounded even more important to have their support and their help, if something happened to her and Oliver, she had no doubt their baby would have those three to help it with anything they could.

He smiled softly as she leaned back against him. He rested his chin atop her head, taking the time to enjoy the quiet moment with her. "I still fully intend to fly us to Hawaii in the near future," he murmured.

He chuckled softly at that, locating a couple of bowls and forks and dumping lettuce, carrots, onions and several other vegetables into each. "He pretty much does that anyway." He opened the fridge again. "Looks like we have the choice between French and Ranch for dressings," he told her, glancing back at her once more.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

"Ranch," she smiled at him, kissing his cheek softly before starting to look around until she found glasses and filled them with ice, "soda or water?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Water," he told her, watching her move about the kitchen for a moment before turning back to his own chore.

"Or if there's an impending apocalypse, in which case, it's an emergency," he added, looking thoughtful. "But let's hope there's no apocalypse."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Her eyes widened even more at his suggestion, "if there's an apocalypse, I'm not letting the baby out of my sight." She knew he was joking, but considering it was a very real possibility...

Chloe gave him a look and shook her head, "just because I can't lift weight or be around strong smells doesn't mean I can't help, Oliver." She shook her head, "maybe we can clean out two floors and give the guys some room for when they are in town too."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He grinned at her. "And you've just given us the perfect reason to rope them into helping out." He winked at her and took a drink of his water.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He shrugged a little, still grinning. "Tradition's overrated."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

"Clearly," she grinned up at him, cocking her head a little, "as is the color pink."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

After a soft smile to Oliver she turned back to them, "did you guys have time to go over the files?"

[fastestguyalive.livejournal.com]

Bart smirked at Oliver then nodded at Chloe, "yeah, we went back there just now, though not too close, cos, you know, we're not stupid, but it looks like what you got us is right, as always and if it is, Luthor had a ton of people in line to turn into meteor freaks."

Chloe glanced over at Oliver and rubbed his arm a little, talking about Clark was never easy on him, "so it's just us five," she nodded, looking up at the other three, "which is much better than just the two of us or the three of you," with a soft smile, she nodded, "knowing Lex and again, assuming he's behind this, he will have people as well as technology to keep his prisoners in, but people are disposable for him so if we can get past his technology," her eyes fell on Victor and she smirked a little, "which shouldn't be a problem, we can at least free the people who are in there."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Assuming they want to be freed," he murmured, relaxing a little and glancing at her sideways. "Sounded to me like some of them were volunteering for the job." He looked up at Bart.

[fastestguyalive.livejournal.com]

Frowning slightly, Bart looked at the other two then back at Chloe and Oliver, "Don't worry, Chloe, I'll be out of there before they can blink."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

With a deep breath, she nodded at Oliver then turned to look at Bart, smiling softly, "I'm sure you will, thanks, Bart."

Victor plugged himself into the two laptops, which were already online with the security system at the building. "This will only take a minute."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe stepped aside, watching Victor for a second, out of all the powers she had been around, Victor's was probably the one she was the most jealous of, in a good way, of course, his ability was extremely helpful to them.

After a second, she stepped over to Oliver, taking his hand and looking up at him, in two years, this was the first time he was going to go on a mission without her, "be careful," she said quietly so only he could hear.

[vs-cyborg.livejournal.com]

Vic turned and met Oliver's gaze, then nodded slightly. "He's right. All of the security hacking can be done remotely." He glanced at Chloe and offered her a smile before looking at Ollie once more. "I'll stay with Watchtower."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Frowning, Chloe looked up at Oliver, "what if you guys need back up? He should be there with you, I won't be going anywhere, Oliver, I'll be fine here." She didn't like that idea, the more people they had out there, the better and safer it would be.
