Who: Oliver Queen, Dinah Lance What: Patrolling is the best time to talk about the direction of your relationship. No, really! Where: New York City, New York When: Wednesday, August 15th, Night [backdated] Rating: PG-13
Yesterday had been hard-- all of last week had been hard and the weekend hadn't made it any easier. It was strange, people in other lines of work took the weekend to relax-- that was the standard. But in this line of work? The weekends were prime time to shake down petty thugs. Or start half-week long undercover operations that you ended up using your best friend's boyfriend childhood friend as Cougar Bait.
So Dinah was happy for the break- to go running through New York with Ollie. Mia was with her friend in Bludhaven and would be coming in to Gotham to stay with Dinah tomorrow- which meant that Oliver was home alone; and (like a pair of precocious teenagers) that meant it they needed to have a sleep over! Besides, it had been a couple of weeks since they'd actually seen each other, given schedules, cases and all those other things that seemed to get in the way.
One thug with a knife lunged at her and Dinah grabbed his wrist, turning her back and pulling his arm over her shoulder. He was still charging before he realized that his momentum had been turned against him and that the blonde had dropped him flat on his back at her feet; dazed.
Canary didn't bother turning to call to G.A. "Just like riding a bicycle; beating up bad guys with you." She teased, kicking the thug's knife away and producing a zip tie from the pocket of her jacket to bind his wrists.
