Alright so maybe Hal has had a few drinks. He was drunk already, but he was having a good time. Which was obvious as he approaches Oliver at the bar. He’s leaning against the counter with that cocky grin spread over his face. “What’s a handsome man like you doing in a place like this?” He asks with a wink as he lifts his beer to his lips to take another sip of it. He probably shouldn’t flirt with his friends, but he couldn’t help it.

         pride had been going pretty well so far, actually... his kids seem to be enjoying themselves and oliver KNEW that dinah was enjoying herself ---- given that he’d been running around her and making sure all was okay. well that was before a shot from here and a shot from there turned into a few too many and he was starting to feel the affects of it. but there was no stopping now as he found himself at the bar wanting more. when a familiar voice was directed to him, oliver turned to see the man in front of him and even wholeheartedly laugh at his words. “ --- i could very well ask you the same thing, mister. ” he smirked back. “ but now that you are here, at least let me buy you a drink. ”

he feels the suspicion before he spots the man. he can practically feel the eyes on him, even if this is just because he can sense the emotions radiating off the newcomer with his mutation. this is why he sends his latest client on their way with a quiet “i’ll get it to you later, got a follower,” instead offering the person a friendly hug and walking along his way.

ajax is intensely glad he did this when he turns as he walks, stepping backwards and shooting his pursuant a glare to see oliver queen, haley’s father. he shifts his glare to pleasant curiosity at the recognition, tilting his head with a polite smile, “oh, hey there mr. queen,” he greets, his mind not taking any moment letting his defenses down. he knows he was being followed by the man, and though he’d show nothing but pleasant surprise, ajax was not happy, “what can I do for you? got a weird feeling, glad it was just you.”

                 the name ajax murdock wasn’t a new one to his ears, in fact, it had become a name of interest after dinah confided in him about their eldest daughter’s interest... going in guns blazing never worked so ollie had to at least try to let haley come to him about the situation, but until then ; staying completely away would’ve also proven to be difficult. BUT when the green archer left for his walk, he didn’t expect to see the murdock child out and.. suspiciously talking to someone in a isolated alley? oh, he had to know more. 

                     oliver queen wasn’t one to get caught unless he wanted to, there was no need for him to be sneaking around and he wasn’t going to be and that’s why he took that one extra step that would give his presence away. standing there with his hands in his pocket, he waited for the younger to approach him, “ ajax, right ? ” he offered, with small smile. “ sorry, didn’t mean to spook you --- i was just out for a walk and saw you here &. thought you were in some kind of trouble.... but everything’s okay, i hope? ”

       gods. trying to think back on all the times they shared a bottle of whiskey ( and finished it ) proved a little difficult. even if she wasn’t feeling the three glasses she’s already had. date night? that consisted of finding the sketchiest dive bar they could, dominating the pool table, oliver starting a brawl because someone was brave ── or STUPID ── enough to make a crude remark about dinah, and then… well. christening the bathroom. but sometimes it was just sitting at home, playing scrabble, and just taking a load off from their lives.

       as the years went on and the number of the household grew, it seemed date night was cuddling whatever family they could get in their arms and passing out on the couch. long ago were the times they had even a glass of wine at supper. now ── now things were much different. but that didn’t mean they couldn’t at least come together every blue moon to share that same bottle of whiskey again.

       and flirt. she relished the way he leaned closer. that she still had this effect on him. made the smile on her lips a little more devilish. ❝ i bet it was SO MUCH restraint, ❞ she prodded, sipping her drink again. tasting the tingle.   oh.   that was a challenge. oliver knew dinah couldn’t resist a challenge.

                     ❝ what i said that the offer still stands? what then, mr. queen? ❞

              here they were again, reliving history together &&. doing something just as simple as enjoying each others company without the added pressure of any sense of responsibility ---- they were being best friends, it was innocent. not having dinah in his life was an unfathomable thought, even when he was letting go, even when he was signing those divorce papers --- the archer knew they’d always find their way back to each other, just like a compass finding north over and over again.

                 oliver would take her company in any shape or form ; quiet nights in or drowning in the noise of crowded bars where the two found their own silence, even dominating a training room or spending time with their family ------ as long s h e was there, it’d be okay. but it shouldn’t have been like that, not anymore, the two were supposed to move on from each other, they were supposed to be best friends and nothing more. so why was oliver standing here and looking down at her like he always did, like she hung the stars &&. how she was the answer to... everything. more importantly, he looked at her knowing that there wasn’t a single being in the entire universe who’d have his entire heart like she did.

                   “ it REALLY was, but you knew that. ” the blonde replied in an instant, watchful eyes noticing the way she took a teasing sip --- but... wow, her words didn’t help &. he sure as hell wasn’t about to back down, platonic relationships be damned. the ocean orbs remained on hers as he took a cautious step forward, not leaving much air between them as he slowly reached for the bottle behind her, smirking at the whisper of contact before pouring himself another drink, 

                            “ well then, i’d say, don’t make empty promises, ms. lance because it’s not gonna take me long to show you just how much i appreciate the offer. ”

it was pure chance they’d ended up on the elevator at the same time. she planned on being silent, since there was no doubt in ava’s mind that ollie now knew who ava had been working for since she told haley… that is, until the entire thing shook once, twice, and then stopped. the loud noise kicks her adrenaline instantaneously. the proximity cues in the panic.

“fuck, no,” her voice shows her first hint of panic, and she goes to the door. despite her strength, she knows this place is designed to contain stronger than even her. she even forgets the father of her best friend ( was she still? another worry to add onto this new tight, enclosed space ) for the moment as she lets out a slightly desperate huff. 

she doesn’t know what ollie knows of her past, of the months she spent in a small cement cell with a single other person. she knew that she’d spent nights telling hals about it, getting it out of her mind after bad nightmares, and she knew they were close… but truly? she can’t even focus enough to worry about that as she hits the door a couple times, tries pulling it open again, to no avail.

“please not again,” she breathes before taking a half-step back runs her into the other occupant, making her jump again and slamming her back against the wall and sliding down to sit in her surprise. she lets out a shaky laugh as she looks at the older man, giving him a truly frightened smile but a signature wry laugh, “well, welcome to my own personal hell I guess.”

       “ hold the elevator, please ! ” the archer ran, his arm extended out as he squeezed in through the closing doors just barely. “ thanks for that. ” offering politeness to the figure standing in front who very soon turned into a familiar face. of all things he’d heard from haley, finding out about ava was just... something he didn’t expect, &&. he couldn’t imagine how hurt his eldest felt which immediately put oliver in offense mode because no one hurt his kids. no one. but after everything, the least the younger deserved was a chance to explain.

            when the elevator came to a halting stop, oliver, on instinct took support from the walls to steady himself before walking towards the controls and pressing the alarm button. he watched how the panic was subtly settling in her as she tried vain attempts in opening the door and he let her fight it out, quietly waiting until the other finally realized that there was no point. 

                   “ hey, ava... it’s gonna be okay. they’re probably already on their way to help. ”

             oliver spoke with a hushed voice so as to not cause anymore panic in the younger, carefully placing his hands on her shoulder to steady her as she bumped into him before she was sliding down against the wall &&. he looked at her, unsure as to how he could offer any sort of comfort. clearly she wasn’t comfortable with tiny spaces and he wasn’t going to go and make it worse by saying something stupid. taking a seat beside her, ollie looked over with a small smile, “ oh come on, i can’t be the worst company to hang out with. what if you were in here with batman or something... he’s a bit of a grump, i’ll tell ya that. ” he chuckled and as the laughter died down, the green arrow turned slightly and gave another reassuring smile, 

                                “ i’m sorry that we’re stuck here but you’re gonna be okay. ”

she snorts and lets out a loud laugh as ollie tries– and fails to sound like he knows what he’s talking about, “yep that’s what it’s called,” she shrugs innocently, “im sure everyone would love grandpa going viral,” she cant help the light little whap to his head, “always be terrified of me, clearly the right answer there,” she chuckled as she also grabs a water from the fridge, “yeah, everyone is here. it’s a little wild– which reminds me. my sisters are here. my crock sisters,” she’s sure ollie can see the familiar flash of worry for the moment she allows it to show. anything having to do with sportsmaster drew the same response, “so it’s only a matter of time before good ol’ lawrence makes an appearance,” her tone drips with sarcasm before she lets out a long sigh.

        “ wow, is ‘ be mean to ollie ’ day ?? i didn’t sign up for this. ” he sighed, shaking head and trying his best to mask the smile which was slowly creeping up. “ i’ll be damned if i’m not the best looking grandpa there is, okay. ” the conviction in his tone matching the determined expression he held. “ aw, aren’t you adorable when you’re trying to be threatening..” ollie’s face scrunched up as he looked at her before chuckling. “ i taught you the whole ‘ terrifying thing ’, sweetie. it doesn’t work on me. ” the way worry struck out on her face was quite evident to the older, even although it was for a second, he’d seen it a bunch of times to recognize it. “ you know that nothing can ever happen to you or your sisters ever again. ------ ever. you have my word, arty. he won’t do anything ; 

                                                               i won’t let him. ”

hugo was exhausted. his dance rehearsal had run long, and whilst he’d loved it, it did always leave his muscles achey. with a sleepy sigh, the small blond pulled open his dorm door and threw his bag down. he’d unpack it later – his dance clothes needed to be washed, but he wasn’t going to make the trek now. what he wanted was to just crawl into bed beside nate ( not yet his boyfriend, but not quite his friend ) and watch something on netflix with some take out.

“honey, i’m home.”

what he hadn’t expected was the grown ass man standing in the middle of the room. just like nate, this man towered over him, and hugo was glad he’d put on clean clothes before he’d left the studio – and that those clothes hid the hickeys nate had left on him a few nights prior. was this nate’s father? “uh. can i help you?” // @ofquivcrs​ !!

               spending some quality time with his son seemed harder than he thought, of course oliver didn’t expect his kids to drop everything and hang out with their old man but he’d missed all his kids way too much &&. was just eager to find out whatever was it that they were up to these days. so ollie thought best to go see his youngest in his room but on arrival, the door was unlocked and no one seemed to be in there... he had got the right room, didn’t he ?? might as well wait for a few minutes to see if he showed up, it’d be a great surprise.

                but when the door clicked open, he heard voice that was definitely not his sons’. ollie stood in the center of the room, his hands tucked into the pockets of his pants as he smiled at the younger standing before him, “ hi sweetie ! i made us dinner... so, how was work ? ” he humored before chuckling and shaking his head. “ oliver queen. ” the archer offered with his hand now outstretched for a shake. “ i’m just waiting for my son... who might you be? ”

[ofquivcrs]

canvrycry !!

       a hand slithered slowly up oliver’s chest until she met his chin, feeling the stubble there. noting how he had recently cut his beloved beard. a beard that had been the subject of many teasings ── and on occasion ── a few fights. she used to twirl a couple fingers up in it and tug, but now she could only run her knuckles over the roughness. it made her smirk impishly.

       gods, the way he was looking at dinah, it made her want to blush. like they hadn’t done this hundreds of times before, like it was the first time. it made her want to… lean in. taste him again. but it wasn’t the same anymore. and as fucking wonderful as it was to be against his solid form, she had to pull away. not far, but enough so that she wasn’t so damn tempted. 

       ❝ you don’t need to worry about it, ❞ she explained, unfurling her fingers the rest of the way to then slide the bandage down a bit and expose the wound. it was a shallow gash at best, with more bruising than anything. it ached, but it was nothing she hadn’t experienced before. ollie had been there for many of the wounds. actually, he was always the one to lose his cool whenever dinah was injured ( the hospital visit when she took a wayward blow to the stomach, receiving internal bleeding… and making the worst decision of her life. endangering her unknown baby. ) she slid the bandage back into place, hiding it from view inside her leather jacket pocket. ❝ what brings you back? ❞

           an enamored gaze remained locked to her eyes while playful fingers twirled familiarly around blonde locks, all the while almost ---- just almost ---- leaning into her delicate digits, as if his subconscious was wondering why their touches were so restricted now. his mind; even after years of the divorce, for some reason found it hard to catch up to the sense of the depraved feeling he felt. how could he ?? here in front of him was standing his... his... s o u l m a t e &&. he couldn’t do anything about it. 

                                                          not anymore. 

             the way she took a careful step back, oliver knew her thought process was nothing less than the same as his. the offer was way too attractive &&. definitely not difficult to accept but then again, it shouldn’t have even been on the table. following suit, he took another hesitant step back and his hands no longer on her waist, rather than in firmly housed in his pockets --- just in case. 

            more often than not, the severity of her wounds were never the issue, it was just the simple fact that the black canary was injured &. that in itself was enough to spark a point of concern but then again, she was the black canary &&. the strongest woman he knew ---- nothing would ever be enough to bring her down. “ of course not,  just be careful with it. can’t risk an infection. ” he spoke with raised eyebrows as he got a closer look at the wound. at her words, the smile spread across his lips grew tenfold ; well, it was the thought of his family close by once again that caused it. “ i missed you guys, i missed being around the kids... i missed the quiet. besides, i’m an amazing teacher so, why not keep doing that ?? ” his chuckle was accompanied but a casual shrug, already preparing for some sort of blow coming his way for his choice of words. “ but hey, why don’t we go get a drink &. you catch me up on how you’ve been? ”

[ofquivcrs]

“it’s going to get me in danger one day,” she comments shaking her head. she doesn’t even know why she’s here, but it was typical for her to seek out her father when she needed comfort, someone to just listen when things were going wrong. “no, no, it’s fine dad, i promise,” she replies with a sigh. “it’s just some people aren’t who i thought they were and then… ava’s pulling away from me and i don’t know why, and then all this stuff with nate…” things had been hard without him hadn’t they, not that she was going to admit it. she wasn’t going to burden him with that, she couldn’t. “things have just been a little tricky lately,”

         “ hal , it’s ridiculous if you think that i’m going to let you get into any sort of danger.” the tone in his voice having a perfect balance of affection &. intensity. the kids were priority and hal was no exception to that. and wasn’t here for situations exactly like these? making sure that they have their father to wipe away any doubts and worries. “ i know you can take care of yourself, sweetheart, but i’m here now &. you know that you don’t have to worry about anything or anyone. ” taking a moment to think about her words, ollie knitted his eyebrows together before letting his expression soften again. “ you should just talk to ava, see what’s going on there &. figure it out together. and when it comes to nate, i know it’s hard but we’re all here now and i promise it’ll be okay !! ”

listen.  could she have waited for him outside is building, or in the apartment’s hallway? sure. could she have been a normal person and called him? definitely. but you know what? ollie wasn’t the only person that could have fun. so what if this prank involved her picking a lock? she made sure it still worked after. he could handle it.

she hopped down from the counter, leaving the bag of chips she’d helped herself to behind, grinning and chuckling as she walked, “that look was priceless. i should have snapchatted it,” once she reaches him, she gently bats his hands away to look at the wound, assuring whoever did the work was capable. sure, she wasn’t an expert, but you pick up a thing or two when you train at the intensity Artemis tended to favor, “it wasn’t that hard, I’m me after all,” once she’s satisfied, she looked up at him and finally throws her arms around him with a chuckle, “you’re a mess, face it. that’s why I decided I’d come hang around everyone full time again.”

          whatever the older said, company from his family was always welcomed ---- no matter how they came about it ( breaking &. entering included ), he couldn’t very well encourage that though. “ oh yeah ?? i think i’m very capable of becoming an internet sensation ! a snap-insta-vine-tube --- whatever you call it --- star. ” the archer shrugged before his hand reached out to grab a water bottle from his fridge. oliver had an amusing smile spread across his lips as the younger judged upon the wound. “ i don’t know if i should be proud or scared. ” ollie’s eyebrows raised in an expression of shock as he placed a hand on his chest &. gasped. “ how dare you ?? i am NOT a mess. ----- but i’m glad we’re all here now. ”
