[Her eyes narrow before she reaches for his phone to read the article. Then she groans, tipping her head back as she reaches for her own phone.]

I should warn Hope.

[Sends off a quick text: We might be on TMZ, sorry.]
kapiushon: (bricks)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-11 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Who's Hope?

( He takes William's phone next, scanning. He's used to having one gay son. )

Are you --
blackstarred: (m31)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-11 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[We're in the twenty forties probably, Oliver. Everyone is bi.

But that's not the point. She narrows her gaze at him briefly, before responding.]


Hope is my not single friend, who I went to check out Verdant Prague with. TMZ is blowing things out of proportion, as per usual.

( He still wants to be supportive. Labels or no labels. And he's not so sure he's bi, but he's never had or tried the chance. He did grow up in a very different time and family. Not the point, this is about his daughter. )

Okay. Then they don't know what they're talking about and it will die out on its' own. Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson will probably get remarried.

( What. He's a public figure who knows public figures.

We might be or we are?
We are
Really unflattering angle of me
)

I just want to know you guys are safe. And, if not, safe - living your lives on your terms. I know you didn't choose to be a slayer.

[Sorry. I thought I was off their radar.

Her defensiveness softens again, before she shrugs.]


Honestly, joining up with the Slayers was probably one of the better choices I've made lately.
kapiushon: (listen)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-11 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going to ignore that joining up with the slayers also cut off contact with your family. But, I understand doing what you have to, and pulling away to do it.

( Too many times, he pulled away from his team or outright defied them to do his own thing. )

If anyone ever doubted you were my kids.
blackstarred: (m71)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-12 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, okay. She probably shouldn't have done that part.]

I'm sure the hole in the floor of a Czech clock tower would agree that I'm very much your daughter.
kapiushon: (island)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-12 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds historically... significant.

( Did Mia vandalize a Czech landmark? )
blackstarred: (m79)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-12 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
More magical than historical?

[She wouldn't know. She skipped the tour.]

But someone cast a spell on it to try and trap us in the same room over and over again and the only way to get out was to get off the floor. So I blew a hole in it.

[Laurel can't help but laugh. "Good girl."]

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-12 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Did that -- stop the spell?

( He is not well versed in anything magic. Their uncle Constantine would be the one to go to for this. )
blackstarred: (m70)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-12 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
No. But it only applied to that floor, so by going down, we were no longer stuck in an endless loop of insanity.

[It was for the best.]
kapiushon: (babbled)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-12 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
The problem was solved.

( "One problem. It got a lot messier, but because of a competing - or contributing spell. But, hey, we're here in one piece." So, don't worry too much, dad or Laurel. )
blackstarred: (m24)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-12 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It was a crazy, witchy time. And not nearly as bad as Knightsbridge, so I guess we should be thankful for that too.

[The body count of Prague was eight. The body count in London was a lot higher.]
kapiushon: (snow)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-12 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
What is Knightsbridge?

( He's trying to keep up, it's just very hard! )
blackstarred: (m78)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-13 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Mia reaches for her own phone this time, because this one actually got reported on the news, given the death count. She pulls up an article on the "gas leak" that did so much damage, but Oliver knows a cover story when he sees one.

She passes the phone to him.]


That's Knightsbridge.
kapiushon: (listen)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-13 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
( He takes the second to scroll and read as William pulls his own phone back off the table and takes a sip from his water.

"I uh was there, too. But, I didn't know Mia was. Not until --" his near death experience. Some topics are thorny.
)
blackstarred: (m27)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-13 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
That was how he found me.

[Because in many ways, William did find her. It wasn't a planned meetup spot for them.]
kapiushon: (tattoo)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-13 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
( "We found each other," he says. )

What really happened?
blackstarred: (m34)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-13 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hunters.

[She keeps her voice low, just in case.]

They attacked the witch coven that was living there. Then one of the witches put up a barrier to trap them all inside. It was a massacre.
kapiushon: (lean)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-13 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
You two survived.

( He doesn't like what his children have been through, the world they're now voluntarily putting themselves in. But, he can not talk. )

Are you two staying here? Staying with Allison and Isaac?
blackstarred: (m65)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-13 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Allison and Isaac have their own house for the rest of the pack, but for now, yeah.

[They'll go wherever they're needed, but for now, they have some time to themselves.]

We're in a lull, I guess. We're trying to figure out where they're going to go next.
kapiushon: (something)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-13 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Star City is in the rearview mirror?

( He and Felicity tried that, though they led more of a domestic life and that petered out. But, they tried. This isn't that. )
blackstarred: (m75)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-13 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[She pauses before shaking her head.]

Not forever. Not for me, anyway.

[She's still figuring some things out, but Star City was always a place she intended to return to. As soon as she figured out how she was going to deal with JJ.]
kapiushon: (no)

[personal profile] kapiushon 2021-11-13 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
( "It's not like I got a subletter. I think this is good I should do. And it comes with perks. Along with - all of my own. We're not going to be gone forever," he adds for his sister. )

Star City will always be your home. Laurel and I haven't even made over your rooms.
blackstarred: (m86)

[personal profile] blackstarred 2021-11-14 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate it.

[Because she definitely might need one one day. And then, because she is curious, even if she's not sure he should be:]

Have you heard from JJ?
