Oliver perched at the edge of the rooftop, peering down at the city below with his crow companion perched on his shoulder. So this was Star City… somewhere the people who killed him and his family were hiding. Oliver would find them soon enough, and then he’d be done here. He’d get to go back home and crawl back into his grave and see Rita and their unborn child again. Soon. Now, however, the sound of footsteps behind him made Oliver tense. He turned slowly, keeping his movements casual. Surely the combination of that, his all black ensemble, and his painted white and black face would scare them off. He flashed an almost manic grin. “Didn’t your mother ever teach you not to sneak up on people on rooftops? Someone could fall if you keep that up.”

anyone else would have been spooked by the strange man sulking on the roof, but laura viewed him only as an annoyance. the iron in his sentiment would have made her laugh if she had any sense of humor. her mother was restricted to teach her and laura wasn’t a stranger to rooftops; especially when it came with assassinating someone important. but laura had a skewed view of humor and instead, rosa a brow. “ this roof has been occupied by me for the last couple of months, ” laura said as she crossed her arms to hide the fists that her hands made.

        “ No, this is normal, I uh… just need some rest. ”

laura looked at the man, an unimpressed brow raising as she crossed her arms. “ it is not good to sleep if you have a concussion. ”

“listen, you don’t have to be ashamed,” he replied, shaking his head. “being ashamed is for whiners and quitters. own up to your shit, i promise, you’ll feel better.” jason noticed her shifting, and he fought back a laugh. at six feet tall, he towered over her—and it was just a little funny to see her acting bigger than she was. “i’m not so bad when i’m not being a paranoid piece of shit,” he replied. “i promise.”

“ i would be ashamed if i was actually following you, ” laura said, the corners of her lips turning down in a frown and her brows knitting together in frustration. “ i am not a whiner, or a quitter, ” she looked up at him dauntingly, examining his . oh, yes; she could totally take him. so she decided to drop her shoulder cautiously, and took a step back. “ prove it, ” she challenged, raising a brow towards the man.

connor tilted his head, listening to her for a moment as he watched her deftly wrapping his hand. “would you really? i better keep a tight hold on my pinkies, then.” he looked down at his hand then back up at her. “you’re really good at this,” he added, gesturing vaguely towards his hand. “have you had a lot of practice?”

laura nodded seriously. “ yes, it would be much easier to lose your pointer finger because the other fingers can compensate for it, ” she spoke as she worked, alternating as she wrapped above and below the thumb. “ it is a useful skill when your friends are often hurt, ” she said with a soft grin. “ hold that, ” she said, motioning to the lose end as she dug through the small kit to find tape.

Breathing heavily, Thierry pressed his back against the wall as he waited for the scale-like pattern on his skin to fade. The snake’s DNA had given him a forked tongue, infrared sensing, and enhanced agility. He had been able to find the boy who’d been taken into the warehouse and get him out, almost in the blink of an eye, and now that he was alone he didn’t prevent his defining characteristics from fully returning. Even when he took on animal traits, he still retrained some semblance of his human appearance, but even those who knew him had never recognized him. They’d always been too afraid, too disbelieving, and he’d counted that as an advantage.

laura had seen the snake man dart in and out of the warehouse like it was no big deal and he was immediately the object of her attention. his animalistic movements were slick and sharp, not unlike the snake he imitated. she was interested. as she moved closer, she could recognize ethe scent, but had trouble placing it. she kept her eyes on him for a couple minutes, studying the snake skin pattern on his face and the peculiar tongue that poked out of his mouth. the girl finally walked towards him, hands burried in her pockets as she approached. she continued to watch him quietly as the scale-like pattern faded to the point that she could no longer see it and she recognized the man as thierry. “ hello. ”

“you were totally following me. i get it, i’m very handsome and mysterious. it’s almost impossible not to follow me. i understand.” he shook his head. “nah, i’m fresh out of guns right now,” he replied simply, pausing for a moment. he shook his head again. “i’m the paranoid one so he doesn’t have to be.”

“ i was not following you, ” laura insisted, “ you are handsome, but not to the point that i would follow you. i have more important things to do than watching you do whatever you do. ” laura stood up straighter and puffed her chest in attempt to look more intimidating, but she was only five-foot-one and the man was almost like a giant next to her. “ good, ” laura nodded before pausing. “ i suppose that is nice. ”

connor looked down at their hands with some interest before he looked back up at her. “it’s nothing too terrible,” he replied simply, giving her a warm smile. “don’t worry about me, just as long as i can keep this covered up and let it heal, it doesn’t matter how much it hurts now.” he crinkled his nose slightly. “i’m not quite sure. my friend told me about it, but only in passing. he talks very quickly.”

the warmth he seemed to radiate was strange to laura. it wasn’t in any bad way ; his kindness was refreshing. laura grabbed a roll of gauze from the kit and held the linen pad in place as she started wrapping the material around his wrist and then moving upwards. she recalled hearing the term come from a friend as well, “ did you know that if you lost your pinky, you would lose fifty percent of your hand strength? ”

“ he was an interesting man to have met. the fact that he was so calm and collected despite the large gash on his hand intrigues me. i would like to learn more about him. ”

“So, you’re still following me, huh?” Jason turned to look at the woman, a slight tilt to his head. Now, instead of carrying a menacing tone in his voice, there was a sort of dark humor, typical for the way he usually spoke. “You know what, I get the whole obsession thing, since I am devilishly handsome and all that, but you should know that I’m married.”

laura looked back at the man, crossing her arms across her chest. “ i was NOT following you, ” she mumbled to herself. “ you are not going to pull a gun on me again, are you? ” she asked pointedly, raising a brow. she rolled her eyes back at his ego, though her shoulders untensed at his humorous approach. “ are they anywhere near as paranoid as you? ”

connor let a slight exhale hiss through his teeth as she touched the alcohol to the open cut. “a little bit, but i’ll be all right.” he held his hand open for her to keep cleaning the wound, a frown cut deep into his features. note to self: always check your quiver before you go out. he sighed heavily. “i’m sorry for being such an imposition. i promise, once this is cleaned out, i’ll be out of your hair. i hear that pinky promises are what one does in this situation, so, i pinky promise.”

at his affirmation, laura nodded silently and continued cleaning his bloody hand, tossing the used cotton balls into the garbage can. she took a small linen pad that was roughly the size of the cut on his hand and placed over the gash, applying pressure to stop the bleeding. her eyes flicked upwards as she did so, watching him carefully as she did so. “ i hope this does not hurt too much, ” she said softly, trying to hopefully distract him from the pain. her brows knit together in response to his words and she tilted her head to the side as she eased up on the pressure. “ what is a ‘pinky promise’ ? ”

He tried to keep his eyes on the road but as they reached a light, he looked over to Laura, smiling when he caught her smile and thinking back at the times they’d do this when they were teenagers. Laura for some reason was one of the few people who understood him outside of Jubilee and later Harry. He had Cessily too of course but the relationship he had with Laura was different.”Yeah?” He couldn’t help the grin pulling at his lips as if he had just accomplished something huge. “Yeah, one more year and I’m out of that place. Not that it’s been all that terrible but I need the break.” He turned at the next light. “What about you? Still taking classes?”

laura met the man’s gaze and she stared back at him. she paused for a moment, her small smile slowly growing. her mind was suddenly blank and it felt like it was only the two of them. when he continued on, she turned to face the road, only peeking at julian through the side of her eye. “ yes, ” laura nodded, “ it is summer. we could hang out, like in high school. ” the grin on his lips was contagious as a smirk pulled at the corners of her lips as well. laura nodded along with his words. “ yes. i am studying mutant biology and genetics. ” at the turn, she pointed towards the building at the end of the block, “ there, that is the restaurant. ”

“Lau…” He whispers and tries to sit up. He had few people he could go to and Laura was always on the top of a list. He trusted her with his life. “This is nothing, I’ve had worse.” Her question made him think for a moment and he wondered if he should drag her into it. “It was a group. They were causing some trouble and I didn’t realize they were so many.“

laura went to kneel down to his side. her eyes lingered on the various cuts that were all over his body, and even though they were minor, she mentally cursed herself that she hadn’t been there to stop this. “ it does not matter if you have had worse, ” it kills me to see you like this echoed in the back of her mind. the scent of the attackers was still fresh. she could have tracked them if she wanted ( and she was angry enough to ), but instead, she stayed by julian’s side.
