Who: Oliver Queen and Cissie King-Jones
When: September 14, 2013 (backdated like whoa)
Where: Casa de Arrow
What: Cissie moves in, and learns her foster situation is not quite what she was expecting to get out of it. She's spent all this time trying to avoid both Oliver Queen AND Green Arrow and now she's living under his roof. Awkward.
Rating: PG13
When the door shut behind him, signalling the departure of Janet Kessler at last, Ollie let out of a sigh of relief.
As far as social workers went, Cissie’s social worker was one of the good ones. But that didn’t mean it wasn’t a relief to see her go. Ollie prided himself on being able to charm most women he met. Because of that, he’d been able to put on pleasant and appropriate show without seeming like he was faking it at all.
The truth was, Ollie didn’t like having social workers visit his home. No one did. Even this visit, in the context of helping Cissie get settled in, made him slightly nervous. He always worried they’d catch him doing something wrong. And he hadn’t exactly been honest about things with Janet.
He’d lied. By omission, mostly, but it was for a good cause. The greater good. Cissie’s well-being. That’s the bullshit Ollie told himself to make it okay. Because he didn’t know if it would be. There was a 60% (80%) chance he’d made the wrong call, and Cissie would be screwed if he had.
Well... from the look on Cissie’s face, she was relieved to see Janet go, too. Whether Cissie realized it or not, Janet really did want her to be independent.
She was still clutching onto her archery equipment for dear life, afraid to let go.
“Come on,” Ollie said. “Now that she’s gone, I can give you the real tour. Full disclosure.”
