Hey guys
I don't own Arrow or DC comics.
Enjoy.
Star City Park
Carrying a Styrofoam cup filled with coffee, Oliver walking along a sidewalk, sees Sara in casual clothes sitting on a bench so he sets down next to her.
"I'm surprised to see you here" Sara said.
"Yea, I located the GPS on your phone" Oliver replied, drinking from his cup.
"So this is not just a meeting by accident?" Sara asked, a light grin.
"No. I wanted to say thank you" Oliver replied.
"For what?" Sara asked.
"Helping me out of my relationship with Felicity" Oliver replied.
"Somebody had to" Sara said, then glances at his hand "I see you've gotten back to your morning coffee."
After a moment "Felicity always wanted me to drink coffee with her but she had this rule that her morning cups were just for waking up and didn't count. So it would be in the afternoon when it finally counted but she always found a reason not to" Oliver replied.
Sara nods in understanding and not having much else to say on the subject matter. Because getting your life back together, it's always the smallest things that are the hardest to do.
"How do you know Bruce?" Oliver asked.
"When I first escaped from the League of Assassins after the Undertaking, Bruce helped and I hid out in Gotham for a short time" Sara said.
"I know we have not really talked since you've returned. I'm glad your back" Oliver said, a light grin.
"Thanks" Sara said.
Glancing around at the various people and birds "I can see why you came here. It's peaceful" Oliver replied
"That it is" Sara said, in agreement.
"You going to be sticking around Star?" Oliver asked.
"I am" Sara replied.
"Good. I've missed having you watching my back" Oliver said then got to his feet.
"You going somewhere?" Sara asked.
"I want to put in some early morning training" Oliver said, finishing off his coffee.
A light nod "See you tonight" Sara said.
"See you then" Oliver replied before walking off.
At The Bunker
Entering the training area, Oliver stops when seeing Bruce and Laurel sparing with bamboo sticks and Bruce is giving her tips on how to improve her technique while they fight. After a moment, both come to a slow stop with glancing over at him.
"Teaching her how to fight?" Oliver asked.
"Well somebody has to, especially after you've declined even after I've put on this mask" Laurel said.
"I've already lost enough people on the field and I'm not training anymore to get themselves killed" Oliver replied.
"My sister came back and Roy's not dead" Laurel said.
"Sara still died and Roy can never truly return home" Oliver replied.
"I've got head for work. Got a few important cases I need to deal with" Laurel said.
"Good luck" Oliver said.
"Thanks, I'm going to need it" Laurel said before walking off.
After a moment "I may not agree with your methods and I for sure don't like them" Bruce said.
"But?" Oliver asked.
"I let Jason operate as the Red Hood with his methods of killing. So I guess I can do the same for you" Bruce said.
Giving a nod of respect "Fair enough. I owe you one, for helping me out so anytime and anywhere" Oliver said.
"I'll collect" Bruce replied.
"You heading back to Gotham?" Oliver asked.
"It's time. I'm sure people are starting to notice and that's never a good thing" Bruce said.
"Your city really is on a brink of a wasteland" Oliver said.
"Is Star City any different? Seems like every May you guys are having a new terrorist attack" Bruce said.
"Good point" Oliver replied.
Bruce walks over with putting the sticks back up on a rack and goes to walk off when, Oliver's stops him.
"Take care" Oliver said.
"Right back at you" Bruce replied then walked off.
Oliver let's out a sigh with glancing around. Bruce and him are not exactly what you would call friends but more of soldiers in the same war. Moving his gaze over towards the computers, there is a part of Oliver that knows he will never truly heal from the damage of his relationship with Felicity.
The only thing he can do is try and live his life to the best of his ability.
Hope you guys enjoyed that
I was looking for something normal for Oliver that he might have done but his relationship with Felicity stole that from him. Which does actually happen in RL with abusive relationships once the person abused gets broken.
For Oliver and Bruce I figured in this story them as uneasy allies fits better then friends.
This is the finale chapter.
Until next time on another project.
