Senses
Pairing: Season 1-4 Luke and lorelai, season 8 Lois and Clark and post OYL dinah and Ollie.
Her smile would brighten up his day on the darkest nights. Her kind words would take away the pain that would refuese to go away and her touch, her oh so gentle touch would make him feel invisible.The gentle smell of her perfume would create a sense of ecatsy in him whenever she was near.
Yet she would never know how he felt as he was certain that she would never think of him as more than a friend.

Pairing: Dinah and Ollie
Setting: Post issue 14 of winnicks run, sort of spolierish.
Silence
That's all there was to be heard in the large, empty Queen house on a sunny saturday afternoon. Gone where the children who had had a difficult year chasing around the world after their sibbling. Here to stay was the akward married couple who were ready to settle in and get to work on making the townhouse a home.

My au brain is firing up again. Insipired my by music muse as always, whilst listening to the cure's song "Boys don't cry". I suddenly thought what if Ollie and Dinah were teenagers?
So here is my first fic in over a week. Could anyone tell me how i post this so there will be a link to my stories as opposed to just writing them as a post ? If anyone could it would be great.
Title: Boy's don't cry.
Characters: Dinah/Ollie
Setting: AU, my own verse.
Summary: Dinah and Ollie meet in high school, are they truley destined to be together no matter what the time setting?
Author's note: I was toying with the idea to have a villain cast a love spell on the members of the JLA that was to test the true bond of their love. By testing their love he would send people back to the most difficult phase of most people's lives, the teenage years.
Oliver Queen, 17 a high school senior, captain of the archery team.
Dinah lance 14, high school junior, pretty and outgoing. Is training for her first black belt.
Oliver and Dinah attend star city high. Ollie is the arrogant rich kid, he knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go get it. Oliver has been kicked out of school twice for protesting about various school laws, one of them being hairstyles the other one that banned gay realtionship (that one is based on actual rule in an irish school!).
Ollie is a ladies man and the school bad boy hunk. With no parents around he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants and no one will say anything just the way he likes it. Oliver's greatest feature is his think no act later approach to life which sometimes gets him in an awful lot of trouble.
Dinah is sort of shy, studious an achiever and a bit of a band geek. She plays the piano, practices martial arts as well as several other extra curiccular. She comes from an unusual background with her mother still being the black canary once in a while and her father is one of star citys finest. When not studying or practicing martial arts. Dinah likes to hang out with the J.S.A. Dinah suffers with chronic throat problems to which the Dr's know no cure.
So one day outside the principals office they meet. Oliver, the tough guy taking his usual seat outside the principals office is intrigued by the sight of a dark haired girl sitting a few seats down who looks as though she has the weight of the world on her shoulders. Curious as to what a good student could be doing outside the principals office.
Trying to get her attention he waves to her. She just ignores him and focuses on the spot on the floor. What was so interesting about that damm floor he wonders? After all he is OQ the coolest guy in school.
Moving to the seat next to her, OQ sticks his hand in front of her face and begins to wave it rapidly. She ignores him still. No caring at all for this hotheaded senior.
"Hellloooo anyone home, no one ever ignores OQ" . Whines Ollie, bored and frustrated with the girls lack of interest in him.
"Well there is a first time for everything then isn't there Oliver?' Dinah snaps,her voice filled with deathly anger.
Scanning his mind for the list of girl's in the freshman year, Oliver does "eni meeny miny mo" in his head and prays the name he is about to spit out is the right one.
"Dinah lance right?"
Um yeah, how did you know?' Curious to know why the biggest jerk in the school knows her name. Turning her head to meet his she noticed that Oliver looks a bit more relaxed than he had a second ago.
"I notice all the hot babes in school." His line fell flat because Dinah just rolls her blue eyes to heaven. This girl had nice eyes he notes mentally.
"Do you say that to everyone? It sounds kinda pervy when you say it to a freshman, how old are you anyway?".
"Me a perv?Never!i will assure you that my good looks don't require me to perv many girls come to me actually! As for the second question just turned 17 last week, yourself pretty lady?".
A huge grin creeps across OQ's face as he notices Dinah's face flush with embarassment. She triy to bury her face into the book she has
on her lap, bringing it up to her face, praying that OQ asshole didn't notice her blush.
"Will you stop that?! Im 14 soon to be 15 next month. ".
"Make sure when you are sending invites to include me, your partner in deliquncey OQ".
"As if?! Its a very exclusive party so no perverts aloud and i am no way like you oliver" Feeling her face return to its normal pale self, Dinah lifts her face from her book once more to face the cocky OQ.
"For the last time i am not a perv!". OQ protests , what will it take to prove to this stubborn girl he is not a perv?!.
"What is a good girl like you stuck outside the prinicpals office anyway?Shouldn't you be at the math club or something?"
Ignoring Oliver one more, Dinah picks her up book and begin reading. She knows if she answers Oliver's question she would loose it and she doesn't want to break down in front of the coolest albet jerkiest guy in school. He would just think she was a big baby.
"Dinah you didn't answer my question, what are doing here?" Oliver demands angry as to why she is suddenly freezing him out. He couldn't help but care that she was ignoring him, normally OQ never cared what anyone ever thought.
Dinah's lower lip began to tremble. Her eyes began to burn, tears threatening to break free. Noticing this, Oliver gets up from his seat and kneels in front of her chair. Taking her hands from her book and took them in his own, bringing his face down to her level.
"Dinah, are you okay, why are you hear?" The words come out a lot gentler this time, he felt like a jerk for upsetting her earlier. He didn't want her to cry.
"My dad died" she whisperes sadly before breaking down into tears.
So here is my first fic in over a week. Could anyone tell me how i post this so there will be a link to my stories as opposed to just writing them as a post ? If anyone could it would be great.

When one journey ends.
Characters: Lois Lane, Dinah Lance, Babara Gordon and Harry potter (the only book i ever read xD).
Settings: Just after Lois marries Superman/Clark Kent/Ka el. For Dinah it is during the longbow hunters whilst being tortured. For Babs its when she becomes Oracle. For Harry it is right after he defeats Voldemort.
Prompt: The Wall-E end song. It got me thinking how when one journey ends we often begin another by taking on a new role. Like when i got my brown belt in karate i ended one journey (my quest as a student to get my brown belt) i began another as a teacher helping those around me achieve their coloured belts aswell as begining the quest for my black belt.
Lois.
Looking down at the gold ring on her finger. Lois smiled to herself, Mrs Smallville sounded only slightly better than Mrs superman. Living with Clark was going to test every bit of patience she had for both him and his alter ego. She didn't mind she was ready to leave Lois lane behind and welcome Lois Kent.
Dinah.
Dinah lance let out one final scream as her vocal chords were cut. She never thought for one minute she would loose what made her unique. Her life ended the moment that knife was swung.Without her cry she was the same as everyone else. Dinah didn't want to be like everyone else. How does a black canary sing when it can't even sing?
Babara Gordon.
Babara let out a laugh of joyous laughter. Her computer systems were working more effectively than she had ever dreamt.Her computer screens began to flash wildy with requests coming in from all over the world. From this day forth she would no longer be the crippled bat girl but the all powerful Batgirl.
Harry Potter.
Harry fell to his knees drained from battle searching for the energy to get back up.. What he had been working towards his whole life was now over. Voldemort was dead and never coming back. It hit him like a stunning spell that now he was normal. He was no longer harry potter the-boy-who-lived but harry potter the regular joe soap wizard.

Reeling in the years
Characters: Oliver, mentions of Dinah
Setting: Oliver reflects about his life with Dinah as they aproach their one year anniversary (well the marriage to fake Oliver,but taking that into account their marriage might of been in march as opposed to november,im soo confused xD).
It was 28 years ago that they had met. He fell head over heels in love with her that day they met. When he had shot the reporters mike with his silencing arrow their eyes had met and he knew he was going to marry her one day.
20 Years ago when he had saved her from that sick evil man he had killed. He had never questioned his decesion to kill that man once in the years that had passed. He was just thankful she was alive and still with him. He never allows him to think of what might have been had he not let fly that arrow.
15 years ago he had acted on impulse and lost her for good.That single kiss had been the final nail in a coffin that was waiting to be closed for a long time. He had neglected her and they had grown distant, he blamed himself for not being there for her after that night 5 years ago. He had strayed and oh how he paid.
7 years ago she had taken him back, he was a lucky bastard to ever get a second chance with her. He had thanked his lucky stars to finally make things right with her. There was no happier man to be found than he on the night she had agreed to give it a second shot.
4 years ago his libido got the best of him and once again he had ruined what they had. It was at times like this when he had wished she would stop loving him and find someone worthy of her, he wasn't back then.He was just a lowlife who never thought to think before he acted. This time he learned his lesson and he learned it the hardest way possible by loosing her again.
2 years ago she had adopted a child. He couldn't believe it, something they had both longed to have together for soo many years, she was now going at it alone. 2 years ago he made the choice to change for her, she had grown and if he had any hope of being worthy of her he would have to also.
1 year ago he finally got the balls up and asked her to marry him. He had given up soo many things for her, so that one day she might want to be with him. It had paid off and after too many years they were finally engaged.
5 months ago. They had tied the knot and Oliver Queen knew that everything they had gone through in the past few years had been worth it as it had led him to being the one thing he always wanted to be but never thought he could be. Mr Dinah Lance.
Batman
Characters: Dinah/Oliver and the goddamm batman
Setting: Current Canon
Prompt: Since the new batman film is out i thought i'd reflect on how times have changed for Dinah and Oliver as each of them have came out.
Hairstyles, music, clothes, the good the ugly the plain weird. Oliver and Dinah had been through them all together. Though they may have been apart they somehow went through them together.
The batman films were one such trend they had always gone through.. Dinah had loved the first one when they went to see it in the 80's. and had promised Oliver that no matter what would happen they would always see them together.He was so happy to see the twinkle in her eyes that had been missing for a while that he couldnt refuse.
Right through the 90's up until Oliver died they had gone. Dinah had mourned Ollie as she watched the 1997 Batman movie,she brought the tape to Oliver's grave when it came out, just so he knew she was thinking of him.
Of course when Oliver came back she made him watch it much to Olivers agony and her delight. It was a terrible film, but he knew she always had a small thing for the caped crusader so he didn't mind too much.
In 2005 they had gone as friends,testing out the strange new waters of friendship they were embarking on.They had sat in uncomfortable silence until the movie began.Both wishing they weren't just friends.
When the dvd came out, which Oliver had gotten Dinah for the christmas they had spent together. They were both shocked to see the image of Dinah kissing Batman on the front cover. Dinah knew a certain computer nerd was to blame.
Now as the dark knight comes out Oliver is being once again dragged to the cinema, this time with a strong hint of jealousy to his whines about not going. When he sees her smile at the trailers and she reassures him that she will never leave him for the batman. Oliver happily books the best tickets at the best theathre because this batman film will be the first they attend as husband and wife.

Gossip section.
Characters: Dinah,Oliver,Pieter Cross
Setting: In my AU where Oliver never died after Dinah and Ollie broke up.
Prompt: Hearing news about an ex that you just dont want to hear.
Oliver Queen scanned the newspaper eagerly for the daily news.For some reason the superhero gossip column had caught his eye today. Without thinking much of it he read the piece entitled "Baby boomers".
His heart stopped as he read the column a hundred times over praying it wasn't true. He reread the column one final time hoping that it would just go away. When it didn't Oliver tore up the offending article angrily. Never in his whole life would he ever forget that line of text his eyes had the misfortune to read.
The line read "Congraulations to Mr Pieter Cross and Dinah Lance Cross on the birth of their son, Richard".

Bicyles and babies.
Characters: Dinah/Oliver, Lian.
Setting: In my au where Oliver never died and Dinah married peiter cross instead.
Prompt: Learning to ride bikes is tricky business as is encountering an old love when they have moved on.
It was a hot day in the summer of 1999 when they had met. She had taken her son out for a stroll in his stroller in star city park never expecting to run into him. He, on the other hand was teaching his grandaughter the finer points of riding a big girls bike even at the age of 11, Lian had still never learned how to ride on two wheels.
Lian had finally mastered the art of riding on two wheels after many failed attempts, like her grandmother/godmother she never quit once despite gaining many cuts and bruises in the process. He had saw this in her and smiled sadly wishing she could be here to see this. Little did she know his wish was about to come true.
She strolled leisurely through the park, enjoying the sunshine and the quiet and the sights of children on their bikes. She paused at a bench and leaned against it, looking at all the children on their bikes her eyes focused in on one in particular. The girl riding the yellow and red bicylce and was the spitting image of her god daughter. She squinted her eyes to get a better image of the girl.It was her!
Without thinking she called out to the little girl. Richard just gurgled at the sound of his crazy mother shouting, after 9 months on the planet he was use to her screaming, particularly at daddy .
"Grandpa its Grandma lets go say hello.!" Lian began cycling furiously on her little bike. She wanted to show her grandmother that he had finally mastered a two wheeler.
"Wait a second Lian, maybe its not a good idea, she has the baby with her". Oliver said to himself as lian sped off towards Dinah. Oh boy! This was not going to be easy for him at all.
Oliver just trailed slowly behind Lian, really not wanting to go "say hello", but he had to. He couldnt let his special little girl down.
Before he knew it Lian was cycling in front of Dinah, while Dinah loaded on the praise with a huge grin on her face while clapping her hands for lian.
. Oliver felt like swooning, whenever Dinah smiled like that no matter how bad things were it had always made his heart sing. Now they were little more than strangers and she would never smile like that for him again.
"So lian who taught you to ride without stablisers?". Dinah asked proudly, while holding lians's bike for her. She may have got the hang of riding but stopping would be another trip to the park.
"Grandpa Ollie did, i am so happy. Richard has gotten so big! Can he talk yet?" Lian asked excitedly while crouching down in front of the stroller so that she was at eye level with the infant.
"Tell him i said he is a great guy for teaching you when i see him". Lian watched her son and god daughter interact, it always made her smile the way Lian could get Richy to laugh in a way like no other.
"You dont have to silly, he is right of there, tell him yourself". Lian pointed over to a tree across from them under which Oliver was standing cautiously, unsure about whether or not to come over.
"Lian can you watch Richard for a sec?I'm just going to talk to Grand pa and thank him".
"No problem i am eleven after all and you said that one day i will be his babysitter so may as well get in some practice now". Lian couldn't believe her luck, first she learned to ride her bike and now she was being trusted to mind a child she really was a big girl !
Oliver watched as Dinah approached him with a gentle smile on her face. As she walked towards him, he couldn't but help think how pretty she had gotten. She glowed with happiness from motherhood something which Oliver felt suited her. She slumped came to a stop in front of him, the warm smile on her face being replaced by a cold awkward tension.
"Hey" Dinah murmurs.
"Hey." Oliver keeps his eyes firmly fixed on the ground, not wanting to look at her.
"You did a great job with lian, i've never seen her this happy before. You should be proud". Smiles Dinah.
"So should you, she is a fighter just like her godmother". Oliver's eyes momentarily lock with hers for what seems like forever.
"Thanks Oliver that was really sweet".
"I only said it because its true." Oliver snaps, feeling really angry as he notices the wedding ring on her left hand. He knows deep down if he hadnt screwed things up that she would of been his wife, not pieters.
"Thanks anyway".
Dinah makes her way towards to bench where her son and godaughter are playing. hoping that her baby is okay with lian. The sounds of their laughter can be heard right through the park which she guesses is a good sign.
Oliver can only watch helplessly as she walks away from him yet again,he knows it would be foolish to try to stop her leaving him. She has moved on with her life, he knows that she should to that too. But sometimes its hard to do what everyone thinks you should do, but don't want to.

He had saw this in her and smiled sadly wishing she could be here to see this. Little did she know his wish was about to come true.
She strolled leisurely through the park, enjoying the sunshine and the quiet and the sights of children on their bikes. She paused at a bench and leaned against it, looking at all the children on their bikes her eyes focused in on one in particular. The girl riding the yellow and red bicylce and was the spitting image of her god daughter. She squinted her eyes to get a better image of the girl.It was her!
Without thinking she called out to the little girl. Richard just gurgled at the sound of his crazy mother shouting, after 9 months on the planet he was use to her screaming, particularly at daddy .
"Grandpa its Grandma lets go say hello.!" Lian began cycling furiously on her little bike. She wanted to show her grandmother that he had finally mastered a two wheeler.
"Wait a second Lian, maybe its not a good idea, she has the baby with her". Oliver said to himself as lian sped off towards Dinah. Oh boy! This was not going to be easy for him at all.
Oliver just trailed slowly behind Lian, really not wanting to go "say hello", but he had to. He couldnt let his special little girl down.
Before he knew it Lian was cycling in front of Dinah, while Dinah loaded on the praise with a huge grin on her face while clapping her hands for lian.
. Oliver felt like swooning, whenever Dinah smiled like that no matter how bad things were it had always made his heart sing. Now they were little more than strangers and she would never smile like that for him again.
"So lian who taught you to ride without stablisers?". Dinah asked proudly, while holding lians's bike for her. She may have got the hang of riding but stopping would be another trip to the park.
"Grandpa Ollie did, i am so happy. Richard has gotten so big! Can he talk yet?" Lian asked excitedly while crouching down in front of the stroller so that she was at eye level with the infant.
"Tell him i said he is a great guy for teaching you when i see him". Lian watched her son and god daughter interact, it always made her smile the way Lian could get Richy to laugh in a way like no other.
"You dont have to silly, he is right of there, tell him yourself". Lian pointed over to a tree across from them under which Oliver was standing cautiously, unsure about whether or not to come over.
"Lian can you watch Richard for a sec?I'm just going to talk to Grand pa and thank him".
"No problem i am eleven after all and you said that one day i will be his babysitter so may as well get in some practice now". Lian couldn't believe her luck, first she learned to ride her bike and now she was being trusted to mind a child she really was a big girl !
Oliver watched as Dinah approached him with a gentle smile on her face. As she walked towards him, he couldn't but help think how pretty she had gotten. She glowed with happiness from motherhood something which Oliver felt suited her. She slumped came to a stop in front of him, the warm smile on her face being replaced by a cold awkward tension.
"Hey" Dinah murmurs.
"Hey." Oliver keeps his eyes firmly fixed on the ground, not wanting to look at her.
"You did a great job with lian, i've never seen her this happy before. You should be proud". Smiles Dinah.
"So should you, she is a fighter just like her godmother". Oliver's eyes momentarily lock with hers for what seems like forever.
"Thanks Oliver that was really sweet".
"I only said it because its true." Oliver snaps, feeling really angry as he notices the wedding ring on her left hand. He knows deep down if he hadnt screwed things up that she would of been his wife, not pieters.
"Thanks anyway".
Dinah makes her way towards to bench where her son and godaughter are playing. hoping that her baby is okay with lian. The sounds of their laughter can be heard right through the park which she guesses is a good sign.
Oliver can only watch helplessly as she walks away from him yet again,he knows it would be foolish to try to stop her leaving him. She has moved on with her life, he knows that she should to that too. But sometimes its hard to do what everyone thinks you should do, but don't want to.

Title: After all this time.
Characters: Dinah Lance and Oliver Queen, mentions of Lian.
Setting: AU in which Oliver never died but he and Dinah still broke up. This fic takes place the day of lians wedding as the pair are brought together again.
Time changes us in many ways, we get saggy and wrinkly, loose our hair and find that we cant move in ways we used to. They are just the physical features its usually in the stuff on the inside that will never change, such as knowing who we are, what are passions are and most importantly who we care about or in this case who we love.
He had never thought he would see her ever again after that dreaded day when far too many terse words had been exchanged. Although still connected by family and friends they had managed to avoid each other until today. Today was a day when they had to let bygones be bygones, to forgive and forget. For today was his grandaughter's and her godaughter's wedding.
It was a was a beautiful ceremony yet neither could shake the feeling that it should of been them. It was too late for "what ifs" now both had their own lives she was married with several grown up children and he was the eternal bacheleor, the ace archer who had lived everyday regretting a stupid mistake that had cost him his happiness.
When it was time for the reception, both had managed to avoid each other with great ease. They were experts at it, they had to be for the amount of dinner dances, birthdays, weddings that had happened over the years. She would always be apart of his life in one way or another and she would be his.
The seating at the wedding, he felt had something to be desired as from where he sat he got a direct view of her and a younger man. Her face disturbed him for instead of happiness that should of been on it, their seemed to be only pain and saddness on the petite womans face.
The music began to play,it flowed over him easily not really listening but focusing on sad features of her face. He caught her eye as soon as certain song began to play, her blue eyes silently told him she was in more pain than he could imagine and she needed him.
Without as much of a single sentence being uttered between the two, he walked over to were she was sitting and outstrectched his liver spotted hand to her. She took it out without hestitation and the two were dancing to gentley to the song the band was playing,their song.
The songs gentle lyrics took them back to a time of happiness when anything seemed possible,they had looked forward to a future together, never for once thinking that they would ever be apart. Here they were now many years later at a wedding dancing to a song that
always reminded them always of what they had once had.
He held on to her with a deatlhy grip, afraid she would leave him ever again. Feeling her warm body next to his, the smell of her hair,even her voice he had missed terribly all these years.
The song ended as soon as it begaun and it was time for the two to part and to get on with their seperate lives without each other.
As the grey haired woman walked back to her seat beside her son. He could only think one thing and that was that he was still very much in love with the woman he had shared the dance with.

Get your hands of my woman!
Characters: Oliver Queen/ Dinah Lance/ Johnny thunder.
Setting: Smallville
Prompt: pg 104 of crisis of infinite earths.
Hands of johnny she's my lady!.
The justice league had teamed up with a man named Johnathan thunder. Johnathan or Johnny as he preferred to be called had taken a shine to the leaguers in particular the black canary. Johnny would somehow maneuver the team's plans so that he and Dinah were left to face the bad guys much to Oliver Queen's annoyance. It didn't help matters that Dinah and Johnny had been friends for a very long time and seemed very much inseparable.
Oliver liked Dinah but he didnt want to admit it. She was stubborn, cocky, arrogant. Everything he was but just ten times worse.The two continually butted heads over everything! If Oliver had told them that they would be heading north, Dinah would say south and all hell would break loose between the two . The other leaguers would just quiver in their chairs too afraid of saying anything that might unleash the fury of either of the quarreling parties upoun one of them.It would take an entire mission for them to make up and even then they were stubborn about that!. Sometimes the angry energy from the two felt more like a sexual energy during their arguments and an onlooker would describe the tension as being able to "cut it with a knife".
Everytime they fought recently Oliver had to resist the urge to just rip Dinah's clothes off. Being around her just seemed to make him go wild. Dinah engaged all of Ollie's primal urges, he felt as if he must keep her all to himself so no man could steal her on him. She was his lady and no one else's. It was why he hated Johnny so much, Johnny had known Dinah longer than him and was making his claim on her known at every opportunity he had to make it known.
Out on a mission one day Oliver Queen had enough of Johnny's way of always stealing Dinah away from him.
"Don't know where Chloe dumped us,but she does have a way of picking out a nice places". Oliver's eyes darted over to the two blonde people standing beside him and noticed Johnny putting his hand on Dinah's arm. "Hell no i'm not going to let him steal Dinah on me again! I gotta act quick".
"So i notice-- but still we better start hunting for out eh...? Glancing down at the Johnnys hand on her arm leading her away from Green arrow, she felt a bit confused as she noticed a triumphant look on Johnny's face and a rather annoyed look on Oliver's.
" Great Idea Canary! You and me'll go this way---and meet up with Green Arrow later on.". The blonde haired man was eager to get Dinah alone so he could have her all to himself, he liked Ollie well enough he was great guy. They worked well together and could be great friends if Oliver could ever take his eyes of the woman who was one of his best friends, that he happened to have a huge crush on.
Seeing Johnny take Dinah away from him, Oliver quickly grabbed a hold of her free hand so that he had one arm of Dinah and Johhny had the other."Hang on Thunder thats my lady you are you're bending!" Oliver snarled .
"Hang on did Oliver just call me his lady? Where did that come from?I can't stand that guy! "Dinah thought angrily as she was being stretched limb from limb by the two macho idiots she called partners.
"Your lady?! I knew black canary years for more years than you've got arrow!".
Dinah rolled her eyes, men were such idiots!!! She had expected this from Ollie but not Johnny! Ugh! There was going to be some serious ass whooping inflicted onto these two as soon as she got free from this childish game of tug of war.
"I;ve got news for you chauvanitsts. I happen to by my own lady and i intend to see it stays that way". Dinah broke out of their embrace in an instant and delivered switft kicks to each of the fighting men's groin areas. She couldn't help but laugh at the sight of both Johnny and Ollie rolling around on the ground with looks of deflated ego and agony simultaneously written across both their faces.
Throwing a glance down to the blubbering men on the floor. Dinah coughed to clear her throat and to grab their attention.
"And for the record you two idiots. Two things. 1.Johnny i'm afraid you are just a friend to me.And 2. Nice ass Ollie".
Johnny let out another wail, whilst Oliver just winked out suggestively at Dinah. His wink was rewarded with a look from dinah that said "In your dreams".

Do you belive in love at first sight?
Characters: Oliver/Dinah, Lois and Clark
Continutity: When Oliver and Dinah meet at the justice league (comics)/Lois and Clark smallville tv show.
Prompt: A little help from my friends -The bealtes.
From the line "Would you belive in love at first sight? Yes im certain that happens all the time".
Oliver Queen always thought that Love took time, he had dated many many women and endured too many failed realtionships to count but he had always belived firmly that love took time. That was until the day he met his wife.
The first time Oliver met Dinah, he knew right away she was the one.From the moment he locked eyes on her he felt something stir deep inside him as well as his pants. This woman was hot! He wanted her sooo bad , that he would risk expulsion from the JLA for doing what his pants were telling him to, yet he also felt his heart twinge. Dizziness briefly engulfed him as he saw there were more than good looks to this woman. This woman was going to be the one who gave him his first daughter, who grew old with him, she was the one.
The way she smiled at him, the way she caught his eye her sparkling blue eyes locked with his green emeralds, told him that this girl was something else .She opened her mouth to great him, it was the sweetest sound he had ever heard, it would be the sound that would reassure him when he was down and to tell him to shut the hell up when he had crossed a line. For better or worse, Oliver never wanted this woman to ever leave him.
The woman in front of him was different, noting like any other ones he had ever dated before in that she was worth fighting for. When they had first shook hands he never wanted to let go. If he had had the choice he would of picked her up from where she stood, ran away with her and married her right away. So containg the urge to marry this woman who was now sitting beside him, he greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. The woman didn't flinch but just smiled at him seductively in a way that told him she wanted him as much as he wanted her. His body ached for her and his heart cryed out feelings of love to the woman sitting beside him.
Earlier that day, Hal had asked him did he belive in Love at first sight?Up until 5 minutes ago he would of told him he was speaking bull crap by even asking him a simple question. Looking at the woman beside him, he knew for the first time in his life that there was such a thing as love at first sight.
Clark kent didn't believe in love and first sight, and still didn't to this very day. Sure he had fallen head over heels for Lana but that wasn't love, at least it wasn't anything compared to what he was feeling right now for his new girlfriend, Lois Lane. He had hated Lois when he first met her, stuck up, rude, cocky, where all words he asscoiated with her for about two or three years. Living with her had been torture! Every day she would find a new and more hurtful way to put him down, that woman used to make want to take out kyrpotinte and end it all just to be free of the harpee (harpee had been his pet name for her in their fights). Some people had just thought it was sexual tension between the two HA! For sexual tension people have to be secretly attracted to each other in some way or another, but Lois? She had nothing going for her in my eyes back then yet she was somehow always there for me when i needed her.
We became friends, slowly but surley and the fights lessoned in their severity until they just became play fights .For some reason Lois was always there when i needed her most and i was there when she needed someone to hug or just fight with. I honestly don't know when it happened but i began to see a whole new side to Lois after we became friends, it took years for me to realize that perhaps maybe she wasn't so bad. When i realized this, it was very soon after that i found myself being attracted to her, enjoying her company, looking for excuses to be around her, (they were really dumb excuses that she saw right through)until one day Chloe pointed it out to me. I was falling in Love with Lois. Lois Lane, the girl who i had once hated and sworn as my mortal enemey was now the woman of my dreams.
Unfourtantley i had become superman at the time when i found out i was in love with Lois, but more time passed and i grew up and more madly in love with her. Getting the courage up to tell her was harder than facing Luthor, Doomsday and Bizarro combined! She returned my feelings, thankfully and 6 years to the day we met in the cornfield (she never lets me live that one down by the way!) we became boyfriend and girlfriend.
So if you were to ask me again , "do i believe in Love at first sight?" .I used to, until i met Lois.

It was just awesome and guy Gardner is my new favorite GL! Loved how he blantaly hit on his "bird babe" aka the canary.
Dinah awoke from her horrible dream, sweat pouring down her face. She looked down at the man beside her, scanning his features with her keen eyes, just to be sure. His blonde hair, check,gotae, check, bow beside the bed, check, green lantern ring on the bedside table, check. Wait a second Green Lantern Ring? That wasn't right,Ollie wasn't a GL, unless......No it couldn't be, it really couldn't be, she would have to be dead before she would ever sleep with him. The man beside her rolled over so that he was now facing her, his face scrunched up with curiosity at the look of pure horror and shock etched across his wife's face. I mean they were husband and wife for the past 4 years and she Dinah Lance was more happy to be Mrs Guy Gardner, or was she?

This is just a little sequel to "3 little words". This is a poem that is meant to be from Ollies point of view as he contemplates asking Dinah to marry him. For some reason a ton of poetry bunnies seem to be attacking me whenever i try to write fiction =P.
My style of poetry tends to be pretty much freestyle so sometimes some verses will be overly long or very short, it all depends on how i feel it fits with the poem.
Well enjoy and if you are going to read it please be nice and leave a review, good or bad =P.

Baby you amaze me-
I haven't wrote a beatles inspired fic in a while, but reading JLA22 today i thought i'd would write a little something from Hal's perspective.
Characters: Dinah/Hal
Era : Post JLA 22.
Watching her take control of the meeting ,shouting down superman, i am amazed by the woman. Its not that im amazed by what she is doing per sey, its easy to shout at people,but to to stand up to superman now that takes real guts. Superman the boy scout, who everybody tends to agree with but not her not today. A look of shock crosses everyones faces as she clearly defies Supes, i hear a faint snicker and i know that underneath that cowl of his, Bruce is smiling like a cheshire cat. There was talk that she didn't have what it took to be the chairperson and for once it is clear that the bat is happy to be proved wrong.
----------------------------------------
Just as i leave the confrence room i hear her call back Mari and again i am amazed. This woman is leading the JLA and is doing a mighty fine job of it, something i began to suspect in the past few years that she was born to do. The past few years have changed her for the better, she is finally happy, for once in her life she is truley happy. And you know what?. There isn't a person who deserves it more.After all she went true throught in the years.Torute, heartbreak, loosing her powers and thats only half of it. She has came out on top of everything that life has ever thrown at her, except perhaps the only time she nearly didn't make it.
It was years ago yet i will never forget how she was after what that man did to her on that day .I shudder at the thoughts. The woman back then was a shadow of the one who just shouted down superman. She was a changed person after that a sad,shy person. I sigh as i know what is going to happen and no amount of my "legendary will can stop it".
Regretably my mind turns to that cold day in winter when i had to force myself to visit her . Ollie had called to my place the day after it happend, drunk and sobbing his eyes out. I managed to get him to calm down and in between slurred sobs he told me everything that had happened to the woman i had once spent a whole summer with.. My heart froze as he poured his heart out to me. He had explained to me how much a visit from me would mean to her. There was no question about seeing her, i had to, not because i wanted to but because she still held me close in her heart.
I can't recall the details of the hospital visit, not because of a foggy memory but because i had no choice but to block out what i saw that day. What had become of my once energetic friend,how she lay there, the look of anguish and pain in her eyes,how no amount of saving that Ollie or i could do would rescue her from this pain.
I force myself to focus on the back of superman's head to stop the burning sensation of tears threatening to break free. He calls me and tells us that we are needed in the gym. I happily oblidge ,eager to take my mind of those painful memories.
I hear superman talking to me about why choosing Dinah as chairperson was the best decsion the trintity had ever made, he tells me he over heard her talking to vixen and that Dinah wanted to help her. He tells me that she has a hard life, and no matter what she went through she always fought back but always remembered the lessons she learnt. It is why is she is the amazing woman that stood up to him today. I couldn't agree more with the boy scout, she really is amazing. I sing to myself "Baby you amaze me" thinking of the wonderful woman who is also my best friend.
Clark shoots me a confused look and i just laugh at him, a big grin on my face =).

I hate Oliver Queen.
This a little fic told from babara's point of view when she receives the news about Dinah and Ollie's reunion and potential engagement. So review and enjoy!
I couldn't belive when i heard the news that he had proposed. I honestly don't know what im more mad about the fact that they slept together or that she might actually say "Yes" to him. The guy is a total jerk, i can't stand him personally. I don't get what is soo charming about a dead beat dad who treats woman like dirt, yet having being in love with nightwing at one point i can't really talk.
Nightwing may get around but at least he never cheated on me. Twice, the bastard did it to her, i wasn't there the first time,which was probaly for the best because i would of kicked his ass for ruining the life of the woman that was one to be my best friend in the world. It still amazes ,me why she took him back,. I guess she must really love the guy despite everything that he has done to her.
If i were her i would never have taken him back after he got back from the dead. I remember how happy she was that he had returned, i put on my best smile and tried to be happy for her, all the while i knew deep down that it would end in tears. And being the all knowing being that i am , i was right. I wish i wasn't right but i was.
She came to me, the night they had broken up, Connor had confirmed her fears. That son of a bitch had cheated on her. The moment she told me in between sobs i felt a fierce protectivness over her. It was hard night for her and i held her in my arms comforting her, telling her everything would be okay. It was somewhere around 3am on that sleepless night that i silently vowed that from this day onwards Oliver Queen was to be my sworn enemey. No one, but no one hurts a friend of a bat and gets away scott free from it, even if you can knock a bazillion arrows a minute, at the end of a day you hurt my friends,you hurt me.
She got herself together, as always picked up the pieces of her life and got back on track. I got my revenge on that S.O.B. Dinah kissed Batman as a spur of the moment thank you for being nice to Helena. Luckily i recorded that moment on digital camera which meant i was able to send it to Oliver as a special "Valentines Day present". His reaction i am told was priceless.
Anyho Dinah moved on with her life, she became a better fighter with shiva's help, adopted a little girl called Sin, left the birds, became chairwoman of the JLA and moved to Star City. I am proud of her for all the above except the last part, the minute she announced she was moving to Star City i knew what would happen and once again i was right.
She told me on the phone just 5 minutes ago about her and Ollies reunion and possible engagement, what can i do? I hate the guy as much as superman hates luthor but then again i love her to bits and i want her to do whatever will make her happy. It sucks when your best friend is going out with someone you really hate!. Normally i would just smile and go along with her, but this time i may have to interfere.

Mmmh this ice cream sundae is too die for." Dinah murmured as she took a spoonful of her foot high ice cream sundae. The girls had decided to meet up one Sunday afternoon to discuss what direction they should take with their new team. They couldn't decide between ice cream or cake so it came down to a toss of a coin, and ice cream had won, much to Dinah's delight.
They were currently sat at a table enjoying their ice cream sundaes.The sound of delight coming from the three women, confirmed something they all knew. If it was a choice between men or ice cream, ice cream would always win hands down.
Looking up from her ice cream lois lane wondered aloud. "I honestly don't know why we have sex when we can just have ice cream instead". Wiping her face with a tissue having caught a glimpse of herself f in a mirror with hot fudge sauce running down her face.
"Because ice cream makes you fat and sex doesn't". Babara dead panned, receiving whithering looks from both Dinah and Lois for running their fun. It was a sad fact that loving ice cream was like having a one night stand, it sure felt good when it was happening but the day after you were left with nothing but regret.
"Kill joy" Dinah whined, picking up a spoonful of ice cream and shoving it her mouth. Ice cream was flawless, it never stood you up or cheated on you with other ice creams.
"Ice cream bimbo" Babs mocked, as she did an impression of Dinah eating ice cream, moaning loudly while she ate it.
"I am not an ice cream bimbo, you nerd face. At least loving ice cream is a lot more healthy than being in love with a hard Drive!"
"Oooh thats it Lance you are getting tickled". Threatened Babs as she moved towards Dinah her hands in tickle mode.
Watching the two women act like children, Lois decided to stop this before they made a show of themselves. "All right thats enough you two kiddies. Its time to act like grown ups, all though that may be hard for you to do, we have to start thinking about what our first mission should be." She said as she threw some napkins at the pair, causing them both to sit up straight in their seats, getting themselves together. She gave them a glare and noticed that they were both now paying full attention to the her.
"Destroy the league off assassins"Oracle suggested, having a hard time concentrating with all the sugar energy surging around her body. She heard the Ice cream parlor door open and saw a very reserved tall man walk in with a hyper 2 year old running around his feet. The boy was singing and dancing with excitement, but the man just seemed to be getting more aggravated as his son's voice grew louder with excitement.
"Reveal that Tali Al's Ghul had surgery,c' mon its soo obvious she has had them done." Piped in Dinah.She looked around to see both Babs and Lois looking at her with their mouths wide open in horror at what she had just said.
"If i wrote your idea Dinah i'd be the laughing stock of the journalistic world and be doomed to write about celebrities for all eternity. So no just no" Lois fearfully. She would do many things in life and write tabloid crap was not one of them. She shuddered to think of having to write stories about Tom Welling' s latest girlfriend or what dress Terri Hatcher was wearing to some stupid awards ceremony and how great it was.
"Fine then what do you suggest we do misses amazing reporter?. 'Dinah deadpanned a bit peeved that her suggestion had been so badly received.
"Um i don't know, i used to just get inspiration for my stories from just observing stuff". She answered honestly.
Babara was ignored her friend's conversation as she became steadily more interested in the young boy and his father who were now seated at the table opposite them. The man snapped at his son to be quiet, this was obviously lost on the little boy as he did superman impressions in his seat. The boy got down from his seat eager to explore to colorful ice cream parlor. The man got up from his seat, roughly putting his son back into his chair, it must of hurt the little boy as Babara noted red marks on the boy's bare arms from where his father had picked him up.
"Billy for the last time sit in your seat!". Screamed the man his face red with anger,standing over the young child, he was going to teach the brat manners one way or another.
"Buuut daddy i want to play with the jukebox." Whined the young boy,scared by his daddy's red face.
Frightened, the boy turned away from his father so that his side was turned to him, he knew all to well what was going to happen next. It was just a matter of seconds now.
"I SAID NO!"
Waaack!!!
Watching his son break down in tears satisfied him. That ought' a teach the brat a lesson he though to himself. Thankfully no one had been watching otherwise he would of been in crap again from the cops.
He was wrong, very wrong in fact when Dinah and Lois noticed their friend go all quiet they too turned to watch the horrific scene unfold in front of them, too much in shock to do or say anything.
"Omg did that son of a bitch do what i just think he did?." Dinah got up from her seat ready to give that asshole a piece of her mind. No one should ever ever treat a kid like that. Getting ready to unleash her full strenght canary cry on the jerk , Dinah felt a tug on her arm.
"Calm down Dinah, there is nothing we can do." Said Babara as she pulled her friend back into her seat. Dinah had a temper and once she started there was nothing anyone could to to stop her.
"Maybe not right now, but we can do something about this if work together. I believe that together the three of us might be able to help the youth of America" Lois said her voice full of determination.
tbc....
Btw im sorry if i offended anyone with this and i only realized that its fathers day when i go to here.

This is sort of an Au fic based on the song "Sisters are doing it for themselves".In this AU world Clark and Lois have broken up, as have Dinah and Ollie (i pray that will never ever ever ever happen tho!) as well as Dick and Babs.
I got my muse back oh and ilyena slyph please review and let me know how my puncutation is,i would be very greatful if you did=).
"Sisters are doin it for themselves"
"Men who needs them?" Mumbled Dinah as she threw out the last of Olivers belongings.Oliver had cheated on her for the last time.She had had enough of his crap and refused to take anymore of it.Throwing his prized possesions out on the front lawn from the first floor window had proved oddly theraputic.Lois Lane may be crazy but she sure knew how to vent anger.
"Tell me about it hunny, he may be the man of steel but he can steel be a jerk at times.Ugh men needs them really?"Said lois lane as she paced Olivers now empty bedroom.
"Well they do have their uses"Came the velvety voice of Oracle as she sat in on the bed in the middle of the room.She looked around the bedroom surveying it and admiring the fine work Dinah had done in getting rid of all traces of Ollie.It had taken her less than an hour to totally rid the house of all of his belongings.It was an impressive sight to watch, even Jay Garrick himself would be impressed.
"Nothing that a rabbit and a rechargeable battery can't do "Remarked Dinah,she was in no mood to appreciate the good qualities of men.In fact she had half a mind to either join the amazons or get seriously hammered and accept Shiva's offer to become her apprentince
"Amen to that sister !I say screw men!. Dick, Ollie,Clark, screw them!Why should we bother with them when we have each other, eh girls?"Boomed Lois Lane, her voice filled with the fury that only a scorned woman truly knew.She couldn't stand the way he still mooned over Lana Lang!. Ugh it was sickening she was meant to be his wife, yet whenever Lana said "jump" , Clark would always ask how high.That and the fact that Clark was always running off to save people during their romantic evenings together.Men can be soo selfish at times she thought to her self as she sat down beside Babs on the bare bed.
"I think we should form a team ,show'em we aren't just their sidekicks "Declared Babs as she turned towards Lois on the bed beside her.
"Hang on a sec, what do you mean by sidekicks?" Said Lois and Dinah in unionision, eager to find out what the hell Babs had meant by sidekicks.
"Well, Dinah when do you ever get to lead a mission with Ollie?The answer is never, everytime you two fight together its always Arrows, then canary cry.Its never Canary Cry first is it Dinah?Wouldn't you like to be the leader for once, you have it in you Dinah.You could be a great leader you just need to get out of Green Arrow's shadow is all.
As for Lois, c'mon you are practially Superman's own P.R firm.The only reason you became a well known writer was because of all the superman articles you wrote, isn't it time you got an award for something non Clark -Kent related?"Explained Babara, silently hoping that Dinah and Lois wouldn't hang her from a hook.Judging by the astounded looks on their faces it seemed to her that the Blonde and the Brunnette were silently planning her murder between them.She hoped they would be kind to her, a a nice quick death would be what she always wanted.
"I think you are right Babs, Im sick of being in G.A's shadow.I want to be my own hero not some speedy replacement." Chocked Dinah, finding it hard to come to terms with the idea that people saw her as nothing more than Green Arrow's sidekick.Her mother had raised her to be better than any sidekick she was going to soar higher than any arrow of his could ever fly.She was going to be amazing, she promised herself.
"What you said couldn't be be truer Babs.Im sick of to my teeth of doing about the man in the skies.It gets soo old so fast, i want to get out in the world and do REAL stories about Real people and Real issues, not just about superheros, no offensive Dinah"Lois commented.She wanted to be a real reporter not just some woman who was more known as superman's love intrest than she was a reporter.Lois looked towards Dinah to see if she had offended her but was met with a calm smile from the canary that said "none taken"
Dinah walked towards the bed and sat down on the other side of Babs, making herself as comfortable as possible on the bare mattress.She really had to go bed shopping tommrow and the get the bed of her dreams.
"How about the Three of us start our own team, You guys and me?We could help solve petty crimes or help those less fortunate.Babs, you could find out where we are needed, i could use my skills to help and Lois you could write a story on the issue and help bring it to the public's attention"Dinah offerd,happy to see the very intresteted looks on her friend's faces.
"Sounds like a plan"Chorused Babs and Lois happily.

This is the finished piece of happy birthday Dinah part 2 ,enjoy =D.
Noticing Ollie standing awkardly in her doorway she gestured for him to come on in.
"Hi Ollie"She said soflty.Dinah felt bad for the poor guy ,he still seemed to be on a guilt trip about what he did even though she had forgiven him.
"Why don't you close the shop for an hour so we can celebrate your birthday Di"Hal pleaded ,he only had an hour or so before he was due for a special meeting with the corps and wanted to spend as much time with his friend today as he could.An hour should be enough to give her his present and hopefully clear the air between his two very in love friends.
"Um im not sure Hal ,im kinda busy today"It wasn't a lie ,it wasn't that she didn't like having her ex and her best friend show up ,or that she wanted to celebrate being the big 4-0.She had celebrated enough for the next ten years with the birds two days before and was still feeling a bit hungover.She didn't mind being 40 she was just incredibly busy today.It was only a week before valentines and she was considering calling up Connor and Mia to give her a hand with the shop to cope with the demand of of her customers.
"Awwh but we brought cake!!And Ollie said he will make up whatever you loose "Hal begged as he pointed to the square box in Ollies hand.Hal and Ollie had spent a good half hour arguing in the cake shop about what cake design would be best and which flavour she would like.Hal had argued she prefferd chocolate ,whilst Ollie had said coffee.In the end they had tossed a coin ,Hal had won and inside the box lurked a double chocolate cake with a canary made out of dark chocolate on top.Hal was sure Di would love it
"I ehh ,yeah sure Di"-Oliver now stood awkardly beside Hal in front of the counter.He watched Dinah and Hal interact ,feeling lost for words.He was Oliver J Queen the lady's man ,the man who could chat up anything with a pulse .Yet here he was feeling as speechless as ever as i tried to figure out how exactly you were supposed to be friends with the woman you were madly in love with.
"You had me at cake Hal and Oliver you don't need to pay me ,i have to close for lunch anyway.People will just have to wait for their flowers ,afterall its not everyday i turn 30 again " Said Dinah finally giving into Hal's pleas,whilst scolding him at the same time for putting Ollie on the line.
"Suuuuuuure "The lantern mocked ,he loved the seething look he was getting of Di ,she was just so easy to wind up at times!
Dinah reached over the counter and landed a swift punch into Hal's chest knocking him backwards a few paces.It was funny to seem him struggle for balance with the force of her strike.Ring or no ring ,Hal jordan was still a damm fool at times.
"Hey thats not fair!"Hal yelled as he rubbed his chest ,it was times like this ,when getting beat up by his best friend that he longed to be Clark ,the man of steel.Clark could annoy lois all he wanted and yet never have to worry about one of her legendary blows to the groin.Some guys have everything he thought sadly.
"Hahahah ,you should never ever ever question a lady's age Hal ,ain't that right Di?"Ollie laughed at the scowling Dinah and the whimperhing Hal in front of him.He couldn't help but break his heart laughing at the pair ,it sure felt like old times with those two.He noticed a thoughtful smile creep across Dinah's face as he gave out to hal.Dinah smiling ,that was good.It helped to ease his nerves a bit,just a little bit.
"Yeap ,i never thought i'd say it Oliver but you do have some manners!!How about we go upstairs and i'll fix you some drinks?Dinah mocked noticing Ollie's relaxed stance.Maybe he was just feeling sick and thats why he was acting so weird around her today.
"Sounds good to me"The two men chorused as she opened up the counter to let them through to her apartment.
---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- --
A canary birthday cake and some coffee later the three are sat around a table chatting away like old times.
"So this is your new place Di?Its much nicer than your old one anyway"Hal complimented as he looked around the spacious room ,Dinah had done well for herself in the past few years and her new place showed that.Her sitting room ,in which they sat was decorated with pictures of friends ,family and all the people Dinah loved.Hal noted mentally that the centre picture on her mantlepiece was no longer a picture of Dinah and Ollie but one of Dinah and the birds at some Gala.He also noticed the lack of pictures with her and Ollie in them ,it was a sad sight to see for him.His two friends had once been so happy together and now they were picking up the pieces and trying to build a friendship out of the mess Ollie had created.
"Thanks ,its soo much bigger than my old place!Too big for just one person"Dinah said as she accidentaly caught Ollie's eye.The spacious room instantly felt too small as the words left her mouth.She knew what he was thinking ,Hal knew it too,that she'd rather be living here with Ollie than in this big place alone.
An onlooker would use the phrase "You could cut the tension with a knife" to describe the atmosphere in the room.
Oliver got up from his seat and walked over to Dinah's windosill where he noticed a brand new bow painted yellow on a stand.Beside the bow was a quiver full of black arrows.It was a beautiful bow ,a state of the art bow none the less yet that didn't take away from its beauty.He couldn't resist himself as he picked the bow up.
"Wowah nice bow pretty ,i mean Di who got you this beauty?"Ollie asked ,mentally cursing himself for almost using his pet name for her.
"It was a birthday present from Roy,Connor and Mia,it was far too much!"Dinah explained.She had broke down in tears when they had given it to her.It was one of the nicest gifts she had ever recieved.Lian had presented it to her along with a card she made which depicted a badly drawn Dinah and the rest of the arrow clan ,sans Ollie of course.The card and the bow were probaly her the best gifts she had ever recieved.
"So thats what they were up to!I wondered why they were being so secretive."Murmed Ollie.
"They just think you suck old man ,anyway Di i want to give you your present before you go back to work"Hal said eagerly picking up a rectangal object covered in wrapping paper and handing it to Dinah.
"You are asking for it lantern "Mumbled Ollie his friend was just playing with him ,he knew that,it was just that he felt too tense around Dinah to take his jokes today.
"Hal this is amazing!,Thank you "Dinah cried as she unwrapped his gift to reveal a hard bound book with the title "Dinah from little bird to bird of prey" handpainted on the front.
"It wasn't all me ,Carol helped too ,she is sorry she couldn't be here today she had work but she sends her love"Hal explained ,happy to see that Dinah had liked the gift ,he had spent months getting it together ,it was hard work but it had been worth it for this moment.
"Tell her i said thanks"."Dinah from little bird to bird of prey."No one has ever made anything like this for me .Its a really thoughtful gift ,thanks again"She walked over towards her couch and sat down.She made a gesture for Hal and Ollie to join her.
"Go ahead open it ,you'll like it"Hal said excitedly ,he hoped she would like it.So far her reaction had been fairly positive and he couldn't wait to ring Carol to tell her how she had reacted.
"Omg is that us in the 70's?!Hal your hair!Look at Ollie ,without a beard ,im sorry Ollie but it looks so weird ,i like the beard you are never allowed never have a beard you hear me Queen"-Dinah turned to him , threating him with a huge smile on her face.
"Sure thing pretty bird"Ollie laughed ,glad to see she didn't mind him calling her "pretty bird" anymore.
"Turn the page Di ,you'll love it!"Hal was like a child at christmas with excitment eager so see her reaction at the next two pages.He smired to himself as he thought what her reaction might be.
"Hal christopher Jordan you are dead!!Where did you get these pictures?!I thought i burned every last one of them!"Dinah yelled as she looked down at the book in front of her.Staring back at her were several pictures of her in her old JLI costume ,the costume which had haunted her for years and the one she still got teased about whenever the 80's where mentioned.What on earth had possesed her to ever where it was beyond her as soon as she had changed her costume she had went on a mission to seek out all evidence of that costume and to destroy every last shred of evidence it had ever existed.
"Well we lanterns can do great things Di ,i brought Ollie here back from the dead ,did you really think it would be that hard to get some pictures of an old costume?"Hal joked ,putting his arms over his head anticpating another attack from dinah.
"I hate you Hal ,more than you'll ever know"Dinah seethed ,her eyes red with anger ,she wouldn't hit him ,her glares were much worse than any pain she could ever inflict on anyone.
"Awh i love you to pretty bird ,happy 40th"Hal jested winding up Dinah was too much fun ,he should bring her old costume out more often if it winds her up this much!
"Hey!"Ollie glared at hal ,how dare he call Dinah pretty bird?.He was the only one who could call her that.He felt like a small child who was forced to share his favorite toy.Dinah was his pretty bird and no one elses.He cursed mentally for making him feel this way ,he shouldn't be getting mad at his best friend for having some fun.
"Whats the matter Ollie?"Hal asked ,his laughter stopping imeditatley.
"I eh ,haven't given Di my present yet"Ollie took out a small box from his pocket and gave it to Dinah quickly trying to cover up his sudden out burst.
"Ollie you really didn't have to "-Dinah turned to Ollie and tried to give the gift back ,but Ollie just forced it back into her hand.This was one battle he wasn't going to let her win.
"I wanted to ,just open it little bird"-Ollie reassured her.
"Oh my god a crystal canary ,its gorgeous."-Dinah said as she took the little bird out of it's box and examined it.It was too nice for her.He must of spent a ton on it.She stared at the little bird transfixed by its beauty.Her gaze was broken by the sounds of her two friends getting up of the couch to leave.
"Well we got to let you get back to work so it looks like we'll be leaving ,good bye Dinah"Hal explained as he made his was towards the door.
"Hang on a sec Hal ,have to give the birthday girl her birthday hugs"Ollie caught Hal's eye wordlessly telling him that Ollie wanted to do more than hug Dinah.He broke his eye contact with Hal just in time before Dinah noticed the look the two men were sharing
"Eww im not touching her ,she has cooties"Hal pretened to jump away from Dinah pretending she was some evil snake woman.The glare she gave him was worth it.
"Grow up hal and give me a hug"-Dinah grabbed the squirming Lantern and pulled him into a forceful hug.Hal squirmed for a second then relaxed and wrapped his arms around her,bringing the two closer together.
"Thanks for the scrap book ,it was really thoughtful" Dinah murmerd into his chest before breaking to hug ,allowing her friend to be on his way.
"Im just going to go and get the car started ,follow me down Ollie won't you?": Hal took out his keys and shook them before opening the door and letting himself out.
Now it was just Dinah and Ollie and the atmosphere had once again changed.It had gone from being easy going to just plain awkard.The two stood at opposite ends of the room ,him with his eyes fixed on the wall behind her ,her with her head towards the ground.
"So...."Dinah said sheepishly avoiding Ollie's eyes preferring to look down at the carpet instead.
"So here we are ,can i give you your hug now?"Oliver asked awkardly,his body tensing up as he asked this.Well so much for feeling relaxed he thought ,that nervous feeling was back with a vengeance.
"Yeah i said we could still hug you silly man"Dinah smiled as she moved towards Ollie and wrapped her arms around his waist.Oliver responded by putting his arms protectivley around her shoulders.Oliver relaxed as soon as he felt her arms around his waist ,he couldn't let her think that she made him nervous.
"Ollie ,what are you doing?"Dinah questioned as she felt Oliver shove something into her jean pocket.Curious as to what it might be ,Dinah broke the embrace and took the rectangular box out of her pocket.Her face full of realization as to what actually might be in it as she recognised the famous jewellers symbol on top of the box.
"This is your real present Di,i didn;t want Hal to be around when i gave them to you"Ollie said softly watching her as she looked at the box.
"You didn't have to ,here take it back.You got me enough already"Dinah tried to shove the box back towards him but again he forced it back into her hands.She caught his eye ,searching them trying to find an answer for such an extravagant gift.Hadn't the canary been enough?
"Just open the box dinah ,i spent ages looking for something to get you ,the leas you can do is open it"-Ollie pleaded his eyes green eyes echoing the saddness in his soul.
"Oh,Oliver its tooo much ,it really is ,it must of cost a fortune.I dont think i can accept them ,they are just too nice.Why did you spend so much on me?You didn't need to really ,Ollie."Gasped Dinah as she opend the box to reveal a set of sapphire earing and gold necklace with the biggest saphire in the middle of it to match her earings.It must of cost 10 times the amount she made a year.She didn't want Ollie wasting this much money on her ,jewels were expensive and she just wasnt worth it.
"Nothing that i can't afford Di.I wanted to get you something that shows i care.Not just something friends get for each other."Ollie regreted the words as soon as they left his mouth.He took a deep breath in ,there was no turning back now he would have to come clean about his feelings.
"Oh ollie ...."Dinah gasped,she knew then what he was trying to say with this gift,it was something she had been trying to ignore ever since he had arrived here with hal
"Let me contiune Di.I know that you want to be just friends ,thats fine i can accept that ,for now.I got you this gift to show you how much you mean to me,after everything we've been through the highs and the lows,im still as in love with you as the day we met.I screwed up bad , you gave me another chance.I screwed up again and this time i lost you.I know you forgave me for what i did with Joanna,but i haven't forgiven myself."He turned his face away from her ,not wanting her to see the look of guilt on his face.
"Ollie you don't need to beat yourself up about it"Dinah told him.
"Yes i do ,i love you Di ,i want to be with you,but im not the man you deserve.I know deep down that i'd only hurt you again ,don't say you don't know it too Di."He turned his face towards her once more ,he wanted to look her in the eye ,he didn't want to be the coward he had always been,not anymore.
"I wish it wasn't the case Oliver but its true you hurt me too bad the last time.As much as i want to be with you,i can't bring myself to be with you ,its not good for me ,im getting too old for this game."She admitted,a frown appearing across her face.
"I promise you Dinah Laurel Lance ,that i will change and i will be the man you deserve.I'll do whatever it takes to be with you and to make you happy ,even if that means going away for a while.I don't want you to wait around for me anymore Di i want you to live your life,you should be happy and right now im not the guy who will make you happy"His eyes and voice were full of determination ,he grabbed her hands and pulled him towards him bending down a little so that he was looking her straight in the eye so that she would know he meant every word of what he just said.
"Hey Ollie get your ass down here before i get a ticket! Hal shouted from downstairs.
"Coming Hal!!"Ollie yelled angrily ,annoyed that his friend has ruined his moment.He let Dinah's hand go,straighted up .He grabbed his coat and turned to her once more.
'"I got to go now Di,happy birthday ,i love you"He said as he let himself out quickly.
Dinah stared at the spot were Oliver had been standing only a few minutes previously.
"I love you too Oliver" she whispered into the air.
- Happy birthday Dinah part 2
Noticing Ollie standing awkardly in her doorway she gestured for him to come on in.
"Hi Ollie"She said soflty.Dinah felt bad for the poor guy ,he still seemed to be on a guilt trip about what he did even though she had forgiven him.
"Why don't you close the shop for an hour so we can celebrate your birthday Di"Hal pleaded ,he only had an hour or so before he was due for a special meeting with the corps and wanted to spend as much time with his friend today as he could.An hour should be enough to give her his present and hopefully clear the air between his two very in love friends.
"Um im not sure Hal ,im kinda busy today"It wasn't a lie ,it wasn't that she didn't like having her ex and her best friend show up ,or that she wanted to celebrate being the big 4-0.She had celebrated enough for the next ten years with the birds two days before and was still feeling a bit hungover.She didn't mind being 40 she was just incredibly busy today.It was only a week before valentines and she was considering calling up Connor and Mia to give her a hand with the shop to cope with the demand of of her customers.
"Awwh but we brought cake!!And Ollie said he will make up whatever you loose "Hal begged as he pointed to the square box in Ollies hand.Hal and Ollie had spent a good half hour arguing in the cake shop about what cake design would be best and which flavour she would like.Hal had argued she prefferd chocolate ,whilst Ollie had said coffee.In the end they had tossed a coin ,Hal had won and inside the box lurked a double chocolate cake with a canary made out of dark chocolate on top.Hal was sure Di would love it
"I ehh ,yeah sure Di"-Oliver now stood awkardly beside Hal in front of the counter.He watched Dinah and Hal interact ,feeling lost for words.He was Oliver J Queen the lady's man ,the man who could chat up anything with a pulse .Yet here he was feeling as speechless as ever as i tried to figure out how exactly you were supposed to be friends with the woman you were madly in love with.
"You had me at cake Hal and Oliver you don't need to pay me ,i have to close for lunch anyway.People will just have to wait for their flowers ,afterall its not everyday i turn 30 again " Said Dinah finally giving into Hal's pleas,whilst scolding him at the same time for putting Ollie on the line.
"Suuuuuuure "The lantern mocked ,he loved the seething look he was getting of Di ,she was just so easy to wind up at times!
Dinah reached over the counter and landed a swift punch into Hal's chest knocking him backwards a few paces.It was funny to seem him struggle for balance with the force of her strike.Ring or no ring ,Hal jordan was still a damm fool at times.
"Hey thats not fair!"Hal yelled as he rubbed his chest ,it was times like this ,when getting beat up by his best friend that he longed to be Clark ,the man of steel.Clark could annoy lois all he wanted and yet never have to worry about one of her legendary blows to the groin.Some guys have everything he thought sadly.
"Hahahah ,you should never ever ever question a lady's age Hal ,ain't that right Di?"Ollie laughed at the scowling Dinah and the whimperhing Hal in front of him.He couldn't help but break his heart laughing at the pair ,it sure felt like old times with those two.He noticed a thoughtful smile creep across Dinah's face as he gave out to hal.Dinah smiling ,that was good.It helped to ease his nerves a bit,just a little bit.
"Yeap ,i never thought i'd say it Oliver but you do have some manners!!How about we go upstairs and i'll fix you some drinks?Dinah mocked noticing Ollie's relaxed stance.Maybe he was just feeling sick and thats why he was acting so weird around her today.
"Sounds good to me"The two men chorused as she opened up the counter to let them through to her apartment.
----------------------------------------
A canary birthday cake and some coffee later the three are sat around a table chatting away like old times.
"So this is your new place Di?Its much nicer than your old one anyway"Hal complimented as he looked around the spacious room ,Dinah had done well for herself in the past few years and her new place showed that.Her sitting room ,in which they sat was decorated with pictures of friends ,family and all the people Dinah loved.Hal noted mentally that the centre picture on her mantlepiece was no longer a picture of Dinah and Ollie but one of Dinah and the birds at some Gala.He also noticed the lack of pictures with her and Ollie in them ,it was a sad sight to see for him.His two friends had once been so happy together and now they were picking up the pieces and trying to build a friendship out of the mess Ollie had created.
"Thanks ,its soo much bigger than my old place!Too big for just one person"Dinah said as she accidentaly caught Ollie's eye.The spacious room instantly felt too small as the words left her mouth.She knew what he was thinking ,Hal knew it too,that she'd rather be living here with Ollie than in this big place alone.
An onlooker would use the phrase "You could cut the tension with a knife" to describe the atmosphere in the room.
Oliver got up from his seat and walked over to Dinah's windosill where he noticed a brand new bow painted yellow on a stand.Beside the bow was a quiver full of black arrows.It was a beautiful bow ,a state of the art bow none the less yet that didn't take away from its beauty.He couldn't resist himself as he picked the bow up.
"Wowah nice bow pretty ,i mean Di who got you this beauty?"Ollie asked ,mentally cursing himself for almost using his pet name for her.
"It was a birthday present from Roy,Connor and Mia,it was far too much!"Dinah explained.She had broke down in tears when they had given it to her.It was one of the nicest gifts she had ever recieved.Lian had presented it to her along with a card she made which depicted a badly drawn Dinah and the rest of the arrow clan ,sans Ollie of course.The card and the bow were probaly her the best gifts she had ever recieved.
"So thats what they were up to!I wondered why they were being so secretive."Murmed Ollie.
"They just think you suck old man ,anyway Di i want to give you your present before you go back to work"Hal said eagerly picking up a rectangal object covered in wrapping paper and handing it to Dinah.
"You are asking for it lantern "Mumbled Ollie his friend was just playing with him ,he knew that,it was just that he felt too tense around Dinah to take his jokes today.
"Hal this is amazing!,Thank you "Dinah cried as she unwrapped his gift to reveal a hard bound book with the title "Dinah from little bird to bird of prey" handpainted on the front.
"It wasn't all me ,Carol helped too ,she is sorry she couldn't be here today she had work but she sends her love"Hal explained ,happy to see that Dinah had liked the gift ,he had spent months getting it together ,it was hard work but it had been worth it for this moment.
"Tell her i said thanks"."Dinah from little bird to bird of prey."No one has ever made anything like this for me .Its a really thoughtful gift ,thanks again"She walked over towards her couch and sat down.She made a gesture for Hal and Ollie to join her.

Im breaking this into two parts because of my in abililty to write short fics *curses elaborate mind*.This random bunny came to me when i was reading the hard travelling heroes era.This fic takes place just a little bit after B.O.P when Ollie and Dinah decide to become friends .Becoming friends with an ex is never ever ever ever ever easy!Especailly if you happen to madly in love with that ex too!
Btw this is just a rough draft of the first version.I have housework to do and as much as i want to write fanfic my mam would kill me if the housework is done!=P.
Just friends?
Senator Olliver Queen's office,Star City.
"Hey Ollie!Its Di's birthday today,im goin to call over want to come with?"Hal jordan flew into Oliver's office ,messing up all of Olivers important paperwork.
"Um im not sure"Oliver was hesitant,he knew it was a big day for Dinah .After all it wasn't everyday his ex turned 40 ,an ex he was till in love with.
"Why not? I thought you two patched things up after that mission on that pig farm ,didn't you?"Dinah had told Hal during one of their bi weekly coffee meetings that things between his two best friends seemed to be patching up.She had told them they had come to the stage where they could be friends.
"We um did its just that,eh"How was he going to get out of this?Hal had that damm determind look in his eye,he knew that once Hal got an idea there was no stopping him.Damm that strong will of his.He really didn't want to face Dinah as a friend.
"Just what then,im sure she wouldn't mind seeing you .She told me you two were friends afterall,aren't you?"
"We are friends ,its just that i don't have anything for her.Don't want to call over empty handed i ya know .Pretty bird would kill me"
Great cover Queen ,great cover.He knew he wasn't getting out of this one ,so he may as well get her something nice.Something wonderful just like her.He had thought about sending a deliveryman over to house to give her an anyomous gift or card.Then he had remebered that Dinah was a great detective ,the female batman someone had once called her.The female batman would of been able to figure out who sent the "anyomous " gift easily
"Fine then i'll take you shopping ,you woman and then we are calling over to Di's okay?"
"Okay!Hal"
---------------------------------------- -----------------------
We find our two heroes in front of a jewlerry store in star city called "Diamond 'n' Ruby Jewels"
"Hey hal this place looks good ,want to come in?"
"We are not going in there Ollie because whatever you get her in there will beat what i got her!Can't have you making me look like a cheapskate!"
"She already knows that flyboy anyway its not everyday Pretty Bird turns 4-0.I want to get her something special ,like we do have a history together .And a part of me wants to get her something to show her i still care ,and i guess that im sorry"
"Oh ,sure Ollie we can go in"
It dawned Hal on that Ollie was still madly in love with their best friend and that no matter how hard Ollie tried it was never going to be easy for Ollie to be her friend.He knew Ollie was sorry for what he had done and that Dinah had forgiven him ,he also knew that Ollie being Ollie would never forgive himself for screwing up the best thing Ollie had ever had.
Hal held the door open for his friend as he entered.The eager look for the perfect present on OIlie's face clear to everyone in the shop.
---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- -----
"Sherwood Florist 2 ,eh?"Ollie couldn't belive how similar her shop was to the one they had once owned in seatlle.Drinking in the surroundings he noticed everything was exactly the same as it had been in their old shop ,except for one thing.Instead of a woman with short black hair tending to the flowers there was a blonde woman with long blonde hair in her place.Still the same look of focus and love on her face she always had when it came to flowers.Ollie stayed in the doorway as he watched Hal approach Dinah,unsure whether or not she would really want him here today.
Dinah was busy tending to the flowers in her shop ,so busy in fact she didn't hear the door open .She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the sound of her friends come up behind her.
"Hey Di!!" Happy birthday!"Hal boomed as he came up behind her and pulled her into a hug.
"Can't breathe Hal!" Dinah called as she set herself free from the Lantern's all consuming hug.Hal had a reputation amongst the league as giving the worst hugs .Dinah never belived this till now .
"Why so happy Hally?"It was her 40th hardly something a woman wanted to shout out from the rooftops.
"Well just cause you are 40!You old bat ,you are one of us now!"Pointing to himself and Ollie excitdely.
"Firstly according to Pieter i have the physical age of a 22 year old and secondly didn't you and Ollie turn 50 last year?"Sticking out her tongue at the joking lantern.It was only then that she had noticed Ollie standing there in her shop doorway standing as stiff as a stick a look of confusion on his face as to what to do.
"Come on in Ollie!"She boomed sensing her one time's love nervousness."I hope you aren't going to insult me too ,on my birthday of all days!"Giving hal a whithering look.
"Who the heck is Pieter ,Di some guy who gave you a "physical"?Hal couldn't help laugh as he said this as he noticed crimson flushing across his friend's face.
"Its Dr midnite's real name and no Hal he didn;t give me a "pyhsical" we only dated for 3 months ,just dating no matter what he says ,so get you mind out of the gutter or i'll be forced to go all Shiva on you"She knew the shiva part was enough to make anyone stop mocking her.Thank you Shiva!
This is where part 1 ends ,or well the first draft anyho cuz i gotta do my chores.Im 18 and still have chores !

"Um im not sure"Oliver was hesitant,he knew it was a big day for Dinah .After all it wasn't everyday his ex turned 40 ,an ex he was till in love with.
"Why not? I thought you two patched things up after that mission on that pig farm ,didn't you?"Dinah had told Hal during one of their bi weekly coffee meetings that things between his two best friends seemed to be patching up.She had told them they had come to the stage where they could be friends.
"We um did its just that,eh"How was he going to get out of this?Hal had that damm determind look in his eye,he knew that once Hal got an idea there was no stopping him.Damm that strong will of his.He really didn't want to face Dinah as a friend.
"Just what then,im sure she wouldn't mind seeing you .She told me you two were friends afterall,aren't you?"
"We are friends ,its just that i don't have anything for her.Don't want to call over empty handed i ya know .Pretty bird would kill me"
Great cover Queen ,great cover.He knew he wasn't getting out of this one ,so he may as well get her something nice.Something wonderful just like her.He had thought about sending a deliveryman over to house to give her an anyomous gift or card.Then he had remebered that Dinah was a great detective ,the female batman someone had once called her.The female batman would of been able to figure out who sent the "anyomous " gift easily
"Fine then i'll take you shopping ,you woman and then we are calling over to Di's okay?"
"Okay!Hal"
----------------------------------------
We find our two heroes in front of a jewlerry store in star city called "Diamond 'n' Ruby Jewels"
"Hey hal this place looks good ,want to come in?"
"We are not going in there Ollie because whatever you get her in there will beat what i got her!Can't have you making me look like a cheapskate!"
"She already knows that flyboy anyway its not everyday Pretty Bird turns 4-0.I want to get her something special ,like we do have a history together .And a part of me wants to get her something to show her i still care ,and i guess that im sorry"
"Oh ,sure Ollie we can go in"
It dawned Hal on that Ollie was still madly in love with their best friend and that no matter how hard Ollie tried it was never going to be easy for Ollie to be her friend.He knew Ollie was sorry for what he had done and that Dinah had forgiven him ,he also knew that Ollie being Ollie would never forgive himself for screwing up the best thing Ollie had ever had.
Hal held the door open for his friend as he entered.The eager look for the perfect present on OIlie's face clear to everyone in the shop.
----------------------------------------
"Sherwood Florist 2 ,eh?"Ollie couldn't belive how similar her shop was to the one they had once owned in seatlle.Drinking in the surroundings he noticed everything was exactly the same as it had been in their old shop ,except for one thing.Instead of a woman with short black hair tending to the flowers there was a blonde woman with long blonde hair in her place.Still the same look of focus and love on her face she always had when it came to flowers.Ollie stayed in the doorway as he watched Hal approach Dinah,unsure whether or not she would really want him here today.
Dinah was busy tending to the flowers in her shop ,so busy in fact she didn't hear the door open .She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the sound of her friends come up behind her.
"Hey Di!!" Happy birthday!"Hal boomed as he came up behind her and pulled her into a hug.
"Can't breathe Hal!" Dinah called as she set herself free from the Lantern's all consuming hug.Hal had a reputation amongst the league as giving the worst hugs .Dinah never belived this till now .
"Why so happy Hally?"It was her 40th hardly something a woman wanted to shout out from the rooftops.
"Well just cause you are 40!You old bat ,you are one of us now!"Pointing to himself and Ollie excitdely.
"Firstly according to Pieter i have the physical age of a 22 year old and secondly didn't you and Ollie turn 50 last year?"Sticking out her tongue at the joking lantern.It was only then that she had noticed Ollie standing there in her shop doorway standing as stiff as a stick a look of confusion on his face as to what to do.
"Come on in Ollie!"She boomed sensing her one time's love nervousness."I hope you aren't going to insult me too ,on my birthday of all days!"Giving hal a whithering look.
"Who the heck is Pieter ,Di some guy who gave you a "physical"?Hal couldn't help laugh as he said this as he noticed crimson flushing across his friend's face.
"Its Dr midnite's real name and no Hal he didn;t give me a "pyhsical" we only dated for 3 months ,just dating no matter what he says ,so get you mind out of the gutter or i'll be forced to go all Shiva on you"She knew the shiva part was enough to make anyone stop mocking her.Thank you Shiva!

Arrows,Oh My God Arrows
I was digging through my Green Arrow collection last night ,when if found G.A number 30 vol 2 (i think).Its the one where Connor finds out about Ollie's cheating .I was very touched to see Connor's strong reaction to the news.
Title:Anger
Prompt:Green Arrow 30
Fandom: DC comics
Conor coudln't belive what Ollie had just done.He was such a frickin idiot!He had really messed things up this time!How on earth was this man his father?This philandering asshole who stood right before him.He knew his dad had strayed once and she had recently forgiven him.Something which he knew was very hard for her to do .He had become friends with her throughout the years that followed his fathers death.They had much in common ,both martial artists,both trying to discover themselves in the wake of Ollie's death.
She had helped him grow as a hero by helping him through some rough times.She always made sure he was doing "ok" and would regularly meet up with him to spar.The help train him in the way of the art she had known so well.She thought him how to be the man he was today.She had taken him under her wing,loved him as if he was her son as well as Ollie's.The two would meet up once a month and just chat.He would often ask her about his father and what he was like.She never once refused to tell him anything ,even when it meant bringing up painful memories for her.He admired her strength and courage ,how she battled on not matter what.
He watched her grow from the shell of a woman that he had met the day he had to deliver the news to the amazing woman she has grew into today.She had become a better martial artist ,gotten her cry back and was running with two teams.He had been very happy to hear that she had met someone else.She had introuduced Connor to him and Connor had liked him right away.He was a man he knew that would never hurt her ,or treat or that would break her heart ,something which put Connors mind at ease.
Over the years he had felt a growing protectiveness over his fathers ex ,who had become more like a big sister than him than anything else.He wouldn't let anyone hurt her the way his father had.He was delighted when his father came back it was a second chance for him to get to know the father he had always wanted but never had.
Things had been great for a while when he returned.Ollie had taken in a young girl and Dinah had come to live with them .It felt like they were a proper family.
He loved his father dearly but the guy was a bit of a jackass at times.
One of those times was now.He still couldn't believe the sort crap Ollie had just pulled.The thing that annoyed him most was that Ollie's cheating just didn't affect Ollie anymore ,it affected him too.They were a family now.Sure they were a family that had all sort of found each other but they were a family none the less.Now as a result of Ollie's stupidity their family would be broken up.
He can feel his muscles tense up,he wants to hit his old man.Make him pay for what he did.He knows hitting him in anger would go against all his teachings.So he just leaves the gym ,away from that stupid fool also known as his father.
The old saying rings in Connor's ear as he trys to find inner peace in his room.You can love someone but you don't have to like what they do

What if?
Time: Post Ollie reseruection
Prompt:Regret.
We always wonder what if?I always wonder what could of happend with a myself and a lady friend of mine.She was a special gal ,at least to me anyway.She made feel alive in away that no amount of "seeing" therapy could.The feel of her gentle kisses or the way she would smell after tending to her flowers would always tingle my extra strong senses.She made me happy and i could tell by the tone of voice she used around me that i made her happy too.
I thought we would be together for a long time to come ,even getitng married at one point.Sort of silly to be thinking about marraige after a only dating a lady a few months ,i couldn't help it i was and am still in love with that woman.We could of been married right now ,if it wasn;"t for one thing.Her ex defying the natural laws of the world and being reseurected by his dumb best friend.So as a result the only "what if" i ever wonder about is the same one time and time again.
"What if Oliver Queen never came back from the dead?"
