WHO: Roy Harper and Helena Bertinelli
WHAT: Roy is himself again, but Helena....not so much
WHEN: Saturday, November 12. Night.
WHERE: Helena's Apartment
STATUS: In Progress

Roy groaned as he opened his eyes slowly, a frown furrowing his brow as he took in his surroundings; he was in a living room that he knew, but whose it was escaped him at the moment. Sitting up on the couch, he ran a hand through short red hair and took another look around just as the last week came back to him and he shut his eyes as he recalled that feeling. The feeling of needing a fix so bad that he would sell anything he could get his hands on just to get something. It left him feeling nauseous and he dropped his head into his hands, "Shit..." He sat there for another moment or two, before sitting up and inspecting his arms for fresh track marks despite recalling that Forge and Helena had managed to stop him before he'd gotten his hands on any drugs.

Helena. That's whose apartment he was at, but was she home? She hadn't been when he'd fallen asleep on the couch, but hours must have passed by now. Getting to his feet, he stretched his sore muscles before heading towards the kitchen first, "Helena? Are you home? I feel much better now."

Helena was in her room. There was something about it that was...different. For one thing, she could swear that she was in the old apartment that she used to live in before her and Roy got married, and moved into their house. Also, their son Aiden's crib was missing. And she was pretty sure that if Aiden wasn't here, then Lian wasn't either. Did her and Roy get into an argument or something?

When Helena heard Roy's voice, she wandered to where he was. "Roy? Sweetheart, is that you?"

Roy turned at the sound of Helena's voice and frowned slightly; sweetheart was definitely a new one. "Hey, Helena, yeah it's me. Unless you were keeping another handsome, ginger junkie from hurting himself all week." He smirked, not noticing anything different about Helena yet. "Although I should probably say Ex-junkie since I feel like myself again. A little queasy at the thought of what I could have done if you and Forge hadn't kept me hostage here, but myself none the less." The fact that Roy was joking around was proof enough that Roy was his usual self once again.

	Helena stepped into the kitchen. "Junkie? Roy what are you talking about-" She cut off in mid-sentence when she saw that he was...younger. She moaned, pressing her palm against her forehead. "I remember this," she said. "This is 2011, isn't it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

As she got closer Roy began to notice slight changes in Helena's appearance; most notable was that she was definitely a couple of years older, "Of course. If I was a junkie again then you're what....from the future? Which means we don't leave here, huh?" As much as part of Roy enjoyed being in Colligo despite the crazy things that happened, there was a part of him that longed to go back home to Star City. To Lian.

	Helena shook her head. "No. And from the looks of this, Lian hasn't come back yet, and we aren't even dating yet." Yeah, revealing too much of your future wasn't supposed to be a good thing, but she knew that Roy missed Lian. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lian? Dating? Both topics were trying to make sense in Roy's brain and for the moment his daughter won out, "Lian comes back? You're not bullshitting me? She really comes back?" He'd been missing his daughter everyday since she'd been sent back after her short stint in Colligo and if she came back then he had something to look forward to no matter how long he had to wait.

It was only after that knowledge sunk in did the other thing that Helena had said about dating fully sink in, "We date? Always knew you didn't get enough of me that time we hooked up back home," Dick's reaction to that had been priceless and he found that he was hoping, not for the first time, that his best friend would show up in Colligo if him and Helena started dating. Then again, Dick and Helena had history, but that had been a long time ago so he wouldn't be mad if they started dating. Would he?

	Helena smiled at him. "She really comes back, Roy. At least where I'm from. I probably shouldn't say too much though, right? Time Travel 101 and all that." Helena nodded. "Believe me, I was shocked at first. But yes we date. And..." she held up her left hand, where a band of gold rested on her ring finger. "We're also married." (Reply to this) (Parent)
