Listening. With mirrorsmirk.

Oliver knew from the security system that Michael and Mia had arrived back at Watchtower late the previous night, long after he and Chloe had gone to bed. He also knew from his conversation with Mia that Michael wasn't doing very well

Michael straightened when he heard the voice and before he said anything, he took a deep breath and stashed the picture he had been looking at in his pocket. It had been two days since the encounter and he still didn't know what to do. He felt...lost. He wanted so much to go back and tell his mom what he found and he wanted to talk to Dean, but at the same time, he didn't. This wasn't really his dad, after all. So who knows what would happen. Turning, he gave Oliver a slight smile. "Hey."

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver moved so he was standing beside michael, looking out over the city. "How ya doing?" he asked quietly.

[mirrorsmirk]

"I'm good," he looked out over the buildings as well. "Just...good. Did Mia tell you the arrows worked?"

[dl_greenarrow]

"Yeah, she did," he said, nodding a little and glancing at him from the corner of his eye.

[mirrorsmirk]

"That's good."

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver was quiet for a moment. "She told me that you guys ran into Sam and Dean."

[mirrorsmirk]

"I don't know that 'ran into' is the best term. I mean, there wasn't really any physical contact," Michael shrugged.

[dl_greenarrow]

He knew Michael was trying to brush off how deeply affected he was by having seen the Winchesters by using humor. Oliver had done that enough over the years to recognize the technique.

"She said you guys busted the ghost."

[mirrorsmirk]

"Yeah. Got in, got out, burned the bones," he smirked. "They can make a movie out of it now."

[dl_greenarrow]

"I think they left that part out of the movie," he said wryly.

[mirrorsmirk]

"Filmmakers these days."

[dl_greenarrow]

He smiled faintly and turned so he was leaning against the ledge of the roof, facing Michael.

[mirrorsmirk]

"Nice day," Michael commented, not looking over at the older man.

[dl_greenarrow]

"Yeah, I think Spring's finally arrived," he responded with a slight nod.

[mirrorsmirk]

"Hopefully the weather's decided it's done being ADHD about everything." He knew the weather was just about the lamest thing they could talk about, but...he didn't really care at the moment.
