Oliver.

At my core——I wasn’t a hero. I was a 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

This is who I am. Come hell or high water. If I deny it, I deny everything I've ever done—————Everything I've ever fought for.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Cooking up a big of his very special, very 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨, chili—! Everyone line up, he’s got bowls ready to hand some out.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

S’what I thought.

[Zatanna Zatara @The1nvoker]

oh. he probably deserved it then.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

He was in the cave, that part wasn’t for him. Plus he tried to kill Roy, don’t think that’s in the renters rights.

[Zatanna Zatara @The1nvoker]

you kicked his ass? what kind of landlord are you.

probably had the place nicely redecorated with skulls and moss.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Eh, happened a while ago, I’m over it. Like I said, not my kind of life anymore.

I do wonder if Grundy is still there. Doubt it. I kicked his ass. (Sort of.)

[Zatanna Zatara @The1nvoker]

I'm sorry about your place. at least Grundy's a step up from some corporate vulture buying it up to build luxury condos.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

You made t-shirts? Does he know about that because I reckon he’d have steam coming out his ears if he did.

Big blue’s always been too much of a sweetheart.

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

(Grinning, she slides the phone back into her pocket.) For fifty bucks, I’ll give you one of the t-shirts I had it printed on.

I had one made for everyone but Clark wouldn’t let me or anyone else wear it.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Couple of kids at the youth centre have started calling him unc.

Gonna stop letting these little twerps win at basketball.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

(He’s still laughing, wiping away a little tear from his eyes as he slowly comes down from it.) Oh, that’s beautiful.

Idiot had it comin’, everyone knows that. Man, this might be the best thing Bruce has done.

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

(She’s more interested in his reaction than the video — having watched it a thousand times herself. Dinah lets out a chuckle, a wide grin remaining on her face.)

Yeah, and no one’d help him. He just stayed there knocked out and we all went on our day till he got back up.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Arrow through drug dealers hand, stuck to the wall unless he’s brave enough to pull it out, which he isn’t. He’s yelling screaming.

Unfortunately for him, selling drugs to kids on his streets——Ah, he just can’t find it in himself to feel bad.

“Not so tough now, punk?”

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Come near the beard and you’ll be going on a second date with the floor.

[‎ ‍𝘾𝙍𝘼𝙎𝙃𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙄𝙉 ╱ 𝙊𝙐𝙏. @bruisedlegacy]

i am clippin' off that fuck ass beard of yers.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Thanks, chum.

[‎ ‍𝘾𝙍𝘼𝙎𝙃𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙄𝙉 ╱ 𝙊𝙐𝙏. @bruisedlegacy]

dinah an' oliver are flirtin' over me gettin' punched in the face. this is the bad place.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

If I see that fist fly and Gardner drop? You’ve not undersold at all.

(Phew, he’s still got it. To her, at least. He leans in a little to get a look at the video—a grin immediately comes to his lips at the climatic hit, followed by a big chuckle.)

Hah! Holy crap, he drops hard.

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

Not bad. I feel I am underselling, but I won’t make you suffer too much.

(That is, unfortunately, adorable — she’d have shared it either way, though. Going through her phone for a short moment to find the video and holding it out so he can see.) Here.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

/ now apply it to the rest of the league

[Oliver. @withinbows]

/ thinkin

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Figured. Great job either way.

Ah.. (He huffs——Shaking his head with a little smile before he bats his eyelashes at her in a somewhat unnatural way.)

Pretty please? Been a tough week, you know.

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

…She doesn’t.

Might work, might not work. Give it a try and say “please”, and let’s see.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Ah, Oracle—You gotta give her my love for this one. Maybe don’t. Don’t think she likes me much.

So that’s how it is… Can’t just bat my eyelashes anymore, huh?

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

Hey, I had to work for it — Oracle doesn’t just break into the League’s systems for a recording of Guy getting punched.

Let’s hear what you have to offer.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

I’m sure we could get the tape playin’ at the bank after the robberies dealt with.

Something to soothe the hostages. Hah!

[Oliver. @withinbows]

You serious..? How long you been keepin’ that a secret—! C’mon, I gotta see it.

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

…I do have a recording of the first one if you wanna watch it.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Uh-oh, he’s getting cranky.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Mmh.. My brains already schemin’.. I’ll make sure you see this one.

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

I don’t think it’d take too much to convince Bruce of a repeat performance.

[Oliver. @withinbows]

Would’ve paid money for front row seats to this.

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

Still upset about missing that one.
