Unpleasant Surprises. With chloeas.

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver kissed Chloe softly as they lay curled together, legs tangled beneath the blankets. He closed his eyes as he rested his head against hers. "Here's an idea." His voice was soft even as he pressed a kiss against her shoulder. "You stay right here and I'll go downstairs and put the food up, and bring up those glasses of wine. And then..." He

"I like your idea," she grinned a little, taking a deep breath and leaning in, kissing him slowly, for a long moment before pulling back and taking a deep breath, "but shouldn't we get dressed? Mia will probably be back soon."

Oliver glanced at the clock. He raised his eyebrows. "It's almost ten." He looked at her. "Where did the time go?"

[chloeas]

"You know what they say it's supposed to happen to it when you're having fun," she smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed, a lot happier than she had in a long time.

[dl_greenarrow]

He grinned back at her. "Touche," he said, gazing at her intently.

Oliver glanced at her, then down at the gun, his frown deepening as they stepped onto the elevator together and he hit the button for the ground level. Everything about this felt off somehow. Whatever that package was, he had a feeling it wasn't something they were going to like.

[chloeas]

Chloe had the same feeling, it didn't feel right and they hadn't been gone from the main room all that long, and that sure wasn't there when she got back.

She shifted and handed Ollie the gun, his aim was much better than hers, "there might be someone waiting for us."

He took the gun from her warily and drew in a breath as the doors slid open. "Stay behind me," he said quietly.

[chloeas]

Holding her breath, she did, placing her hands on his sides as they walked out of the elevator slowly, "be careful."

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver reached around her and turned the volume up on the computer.

"You see, since Oliver Queen has decided to keep himself locked in his tower, I decided to step up my game. And now I have you. You're going to tell him if he doesn't come out, you die. Clear?"

He sucked in a breath, his heart pounding heavily as he stood rooted to the floor, watching in horror.

[chloeas]

That was all she needed to know. Chloe stepped aside and to the main computer, immediately sending messages to all of the members of the team, asking them to come as fast as they could.

AC, Bart, Clark, Dinah and Victor. They were going to need their help and they were going to get Slade and end this. He wanted Oliver, not Mia, and he wasn't going to get either one of them.

[dl_greenarrow]

"It's not going to be enough," Oliver said tensely, his hands clenching into fists.

[chloeas]

She frowned and turned to look at him, her jaw tight, but she wasn't going to argue, "who else can we call?"
