Chloe Sullivan

After Oliver left, Chloe heard him stepping on the rooftop and knew he was going on patrol. Which meant she knew he was going to be gone for a couple of hours at least. She went downstairs and checked on Mia, who, as far as she could tell, was asleep, then went back to Oliver's room, sat down on his bed and waited for him.

She knew he was angry and she knew she had lost control of her temper too, so she didn't want to leave things the way they were. She was tired of arguing with Oliver because of Tess, she was tired of Oliver hurting because of Tess and she was done giving the other woman that kind of power.

It had been an extremely long night, she wasn't sure when it had happened, but Oliver had managed to get her to sit down on the couch with him, her head was pounding, between the alcohol, the freaking out, the yelling and the crying, it just felt like too much and no matter how she tried to relax and let exhaustion take over, she didn't seem to be able to shut her brain down.

At least now, it seemed to be clearing up and she felt like she was finally able to actually think again, "why do you want to send Mia to get the others?" She broke the long silence, starting to process the information they had yelled at each other earlier.

It wasn't so much that she was pacing as she was pointlessly walking from computer station to computer station, trying to research but not being able to focus long enough on anything that was in front of her.

She knew that while the talk with Clark might actually help things between them, it would make things between her and Oliver bad and for once, she had no idea what to expect from him except for anger and disbelief, she didn't know how he would react.

When she heard the elevator doors opening, she took a deep breath and walked around quickly, minimizing some of the windows and taking a deep breath.

Well, if she was completely honest with herself, she did kinda miss him.

Chloe had gotten so used to having Oliver around since the explosion at the clock tower, when she had told him he wasn't allowed to go anywhere or be seen in public at all, afraid that Lex would make another attempt on his life.

So although she would just tell everyone she was worried and wanted him to get back to make sure he got back okay, she kinda missed having him around, even if she was doing her best to keep herself entertaining by setting up her laptop with remote connection to every computer and database in the Watchtower for their upcoming trip to DC, it still felt like something was missing.

It hadn't even been two days since Oliver had taken off with Tess, but since he had told him the previous night that he would be coming back today, Chloe found herself checking the door to the Watchtower and the security camera for the elevator incessantly.

She was anxious for him to get back and she knew part of it was because she wanted him there so she could keep an eye on him, so she would know what was going on and know he was protected. She also knew that there was a part of her that was anxious just because she wanted him there with her, but she ignored that part as must as she could, trying to analyze it wouldn't help things, especially not after Oliver's actions before he left.

Regardless, she felt herself sighing in relieve when she watched him walk into the elevator through the camera, he was back in one piece.
