Chapter 2: Asking Harley
A Week Later
Oliver and Team Arrow were training to wait to go to Central City to see Barry, Sam, and Reggie.
Harley was watching Oliver work out with the others.
Felicity says "Can I ask you a question?"
Harley turns to her and says "Sure. What is it?"
Felicity asks "How long have you liked Oliver?"
Harley smiles and says "Not that long. It feels long, but it's been over a year. I'm surprised he didn't get with anyone."
Felicity says "Maybe he didn't cause you were on his mind."
Harley smiles and Oliver hit Dig with the stick and says "Come on, Dig. Use what I taught you."
Diggle smiles and says "Oliver... I love you man, but... You're way too fast."
Oliver chuckles and says "Okay."
Oliver saw Harley looking and says "You want to try, Harley?"
Harley points to herself and says "Me?"
Oliver smiles at her and says "Yes, you. Is there someone else named Harley here?"
She shakes her head no and walks over
Diggle says "Now, be careful. He's fast."
Harley says "Maybe for you, Mr. Diggle."
Diggle smiles and everyone says "Oohhh."
Harley walks over with the sticks Diggle handed her
Oliver smiles and says "You ready?"
Harley says "Yeah."
They began to go at each other and she was actually keeping up with him, Oliver smiled as she and he were blocking each other's attacks.
Diggle says "How?"
Dinah says "What's wrong, Dig?"
Diggle says "He must have taught her before."
Thea says "If that were true he would have seen her during the year he wasn't in her life."
Rene says "Yeah, And I don't think Hoss and the chick would lie."
Oliver and Harley were still going at it and then Oliver speed up and hit her with the stick
She dropped one of her sticks and held her face.
Oliver came over and check her face and says "Are you okay?"
Harley nods with a bloody lip
Oliver says "Sit down."
He left to get the med kit and comes back and begins to clean it
Harley says "I said I was fine."
Oliver says "You have a bloody lip. That's not fine, Harls."
Harley says "Ollie, it's bound to happen when we're doing this."
Thea says to the group "How does she get to call him Ollie? Not even his closes friend get to call him not besides Barry, Sam, and Reggie."
Diggle says "I know."
Harley says to Oliver "I promise, I'm fine. I'm not made out of glass. I won't break. Besides I had a good teacher."
Oliver says "Yeah, well, If you had such a great teacher you would have known that if your opponent accelerates his speed he's trying to throw you off your game to get a hit in."
Harley says "Maybe, I wanted to feel some pain."
Oliver says "Harley, what's this really about?" as he finished cleaning her lip
Harley says "Nothing."
Oliver says "It's definitely something. Harls, please tell me."
Harley says "Ollie, it's nothing really."
Oliver says "If it wasn't something you wouldn't have said you did it to feel the pain."
He got up and put his hand out for her to grab and she did and he pulls her up.
Harley says "I just said that to mess with you. I didn't mean anything by it."
Oliver says "You keep doing this, and you're gonna worry me to death."
Harley smiles and says "It's nice to see you worry. It shows you have some humanity."
Oliver smiles and nods and says "You do too. Remember I said we'd figure out how to be normal? Together."
Harley nods and they share a hug together
Diggle says to the group "She's brought out more of a person in him than we ever have."
Thea says "Yeah, she has."
Rene says "It just means, Hoss, is being human again. Right?"
Dinah says "Yes, Rene. It does."
Felicity says "I think she's good for him. But there's something you all should know."
Diggle says "What?"
Felicity says "You remember the Joker? The guy in Gotham?"
The team nods and she says "That's was his Cupid of Crime."
Rene says "She's THE Harley Quinn?"
Felicity nods
Dinah says "But she's so nice. How could she ever be... Her?"
Diggle says "I think we should keep an eye out for her. Just in case she's still working with the Joker."
Oliver says "What are you guys talking about?"
The team turned to see Oliver there.
But Harley was on the bars working out.
Oliver says "How do you guys know?"
Felicity looks down in shame and he says "You shouldn't have told them. That wasn't your secret to tell, Felicity."
She says "I did it 'cause I'm worried."
Oliver says "She's not her anymore. I talked her down. Why do you think you haven't seen Harley Quinn in Gotham for over a year and a half?"
Rene says "Hoss, It's not like we distrust her."
Oliver says "That's what you're all making it out to be."
Diggle says "Oliver, what do you see in this girl? I want to know. What makes you just love her?"
Oliver says "Love?"
Diggle says "I see your eyes, Oliver. You're in love with this girl. Why aren't you two together? I truly want to know what you see in her."
Oliver says "Fine... Joker sent her on a mission to kill Detective James Gordon. But I stopped her and I talked her down. At that moment I saw myself. And I knew I could save her. Then I took her to my apartment and she went in the shower. I knocked on the door to see if she was okay. But she was crying in the Shower."
Dinah says "What for?"
Oliver says "She asked me how could she be fooled by Joker. I told her that you did what you thought was right in a single moment. That doesn't define you. The choices you make next are."
Thea says "Why does she get to call you Ollie?"
Oliver says "The Joker, stabbed me. I came back all bloody and she was pretty worried. So she patched me up and that's when we shared a kiss for the first time. Besides the kiss on the cheek, I gave her before I left. But she told me to let's get me patched up first and we'll figure this out and she said my name. But I told her Ollie. And that's when she started to call me Ollie."
Thea says "Do you love her?"
Oliver says "I do. I love her. But I don't think she feels the same."
Dinah says "The girl came here after a year of not seeing you. I think she loves you, Oliver."
Harley heard the last part and says "Well, I do love you."
Oliver turned and saw her and says "How much of that did you hear?"
Harley says "Not much. Just the part of 'the girl who came here after a year after a year of not seeing you. I think she loves you, Oliver'. And I do. Even after not seeing you for a year."
Oliver says "I told you to come whenever you wanted."
Harley says "I know. But I didn't want to interrupt with your big bad. Chase, must have been a dick."
Oliver laughs and says "Thanks."
Diggle motions for him to ask her on a date
Oliver clears his throat and says "Harls, would you like to... go on a... date? With me."
Harley smiles and says "I think we both know that I would have said yes no matter what."
Oliver says "Well, there's a whole multiverse out there. There could be one where you killed me, or shot me down."
Harley says "I could never kill you, Ollie. You're everything to me."
Oliver says "Good to know."
Harley says "When will we go?"
Oliver says "Whenever you want."
Harley smiles and kissed him
He kissed her back and grabbed her cheek
The team smiled and began to go back to training.
They pulled away and Oliver says "I guess that means now."
Harley says "Glad you got on."
Oliver says "I try."
Harley says "Come on, Mister O. Let's go."
Oliver smiles and they leave for the elevator.
And they leave to go have a date together.
