     “...hear what? i didn’t hear anything,” roy said. he has pretty good hearing, maybe due to the fact that she was drunk - she was also hearing things.

          » that explains the weird furniture in here … « she runs a hand through her hair before looking at the male, eyes widening in shock. » sorry, did you HEAR that ? «

“So the usual throw down between Oliver and an enemy?” It was the regular stuff, same shit - different day.

“Nothing, but Damien Dhark again up to trying to make our life’s miserable as always by kidnapping Oliver’s son…But I guess that’s to be expected.”

[braveheartedly]

“...Why are you surprised, exactly?”

“Really? I’m surprised and that doesn’t happen often.”

[braveheartedly]

This was really starting to freak Roy out. He was talking to himself? Or, his twin? This was really weird. It didn’t sound like he was a doppelgänger, because if he had been from another Earth - there would be a noticeable difference between their timelines. But apparently he’d gotten everything right in this so called test. “Right, so -- we’re the same?”

Nodding his head, Roy began to wonder how he even got here. Had he gone back in time, was this him from the past? Or -- his head was starting to hurt from all this time travel future crap. Breathing out of his nose, he clenched his jaw for a second or so, letting himself calm down before nodding. “So, what if we do everything to avoid that? We stick together. Kinda like brothers,” Roy commented, wondering if that was their best choice. If they stuck together, that way they couldn’t be caught out in the open accidentally, or anything like that.

Oh man, this was some next-level shit right here. Maybe this was some kinda magic thing. Or a metahuman that could steal memories and shapeshift? Okay, no, that was absurd, even for metas. Roy leaned against a nearby wall, his stance relaxing slightly. “Okay. So, check, check, and check,” he said with a sigh. Calling him the Arrow had been a way to see if there was a timeline situation, but the other Roy seemed to have caught it.

And then something caught in his mind, an idea he’d seen once in an old TV show a long time ago. One of them…or both, potentially, could be a clone. Since Roy was supposed to be dead, his DNA at a crime scene would be thrown out or considered contaminated. “It’s gonna be pretty hard for me to stay dead when there’s two of me running around, getting into trouble,” he remarked coolly. “Not to mention, if we really are the same, then we’ll have similar tendencies, probably bump into each other a lot.” The list of potential complications extended far further than that, but it was a good place to start.

“You really need to learn how to breathe between questions. I’m fine, I’m not in trouble. I just -- wanted to check in on you guys. I heard some stuff went down.”

“Hey!? Really is that all you’ve got to say? What happened? Are you okay? Are you in trouble again? I-I thought you needed to stay underground?” 

[braveheartedly]

The pain shooting through him is white hot, but he fights it. “No. No. I can’t go to a hospital.”

“Let me see it,” she skidded to her knees next to him, “Think you might be hospital bound.”

[braveheartedly]

“I won’t bring the arrows then. Sure.”

“I wasn’t planning on it. I was actually going to ask if you wanted to hang out- without the arrows.”

[braveheartedly]

“...Your apartment is across the hall. Which leaves the question of how you got in here.” A pause. “C’mon. Let’s -- get you home.”

          » … YOUR apartment ? i thought … i thought this was MY apartment … « mind the poor drunk girl, she’s a little too startled by the realisation of her whereabouts to respond in a more appropriate matter.

Roy wanted to stay. Every part of his being ached to stay, to be apart of the team he loved. But he knew that he couldn’t. Even if he swapped out with Thea a few times, people would soon realize that there was more than one Red Arrow. Sighing a little, he leaned back. “A couple days at most.”

Oliver pauses for a moment, TEMPTED to offer the other man to stay. If people didn’t notice the change between Speedy and Arsenal then they COULD get away with it. Except the logical part of his mind knew that it wasn’t practical; for the team or for Roy. “How long are you going to be in town?”

[braveheartedly]

“No, no I can’t go to the hospital. I just -- ah fuck!”

“Not for a normal person, no.  Let me help you up.  We’ll get you to the hospital.”

[braveheartedly]

Shaking his head, he took a step forward, mostly just to examine his counterpart. They were the exact same. There wasn’t a single difference that he could see against them. This was odd. He’d been warned of time travel, of doppelgänger coming from other Earth’s but -- he hadn’t been thrown through a breach or anything. “Thea and I broke up. I haven’t seen Sin in a while. The Green Arrow is coping with a lot.”

Roy’s lips tighten. “That’s…me. We aren’t dealing with time travel are we? You’re not here to tell me I fucked up real bad?” He straightens; the flechette would do nothing against someone with his training, especially not when they saw it coming from a mile away. “So, we’re both Roy Harper. We’re both from the Glades in Starling. Where are you on Thea Queen and Sin? Or the Arrow, for that matter?”
