For the past few days it began to get colder and Oliver and Slade had begun to seek some stuff to hang before the door in the airplane. Mostly to try and get it warmer in the plane. But even Slade had begun to get colder every day. And he had been the one that didn't always have difficulties with being cold.

But it could have also been the reason because Oliver who basically always ran cold had begun to seek some rest with Slade and had been sleeping beside the man. What he didn't expect however is that they had also begun to sleep deeper.

What they however did not fully expect even though it had been cold for a while now to wake up and that it had snowed. Slade had been the first to wake up and had let Oliver sleep in because he knew that the Kid had needed it but also because he knew that Oliver didn't sleep that well when it was cold. He didn't know for sure why it was but it could have been because of when he came to the island. It had been a cold time then.

And Slade was somewhat right because Oliver did not have a fun time with it being cold but that wasn't really because of the weather but more because of how he ended up in the water and along with the way he had been cold while he had been on the water. Even if it had been warm it had taken him a while to get somewhat warmer. But when he was found by Yoa Fei he had to begin from the beginning because he had been sick for a while.

After he found Slade however he knew that he would never get really warmer so he had begun to find more clothes that fit him but also that would help him to keep the warmth in. It had helped but even then it had been harder for him to keep himself warm.

But because they needed to find the stuff Slade began to search around the plane to find some more warm things and he had been looking around when Oliver shot up from his bed like he had a nightmare. Also something that had been happening more often since it had been getting colder.

(Time skip to when they are seeking some more stuff)

Oliver and Slade had been searching for a while now and it had been getting somewhat warmer which indicated that it wasn't winter just yet. When they came across a river that was pretty steep but also kinda long. Not that long to not be able to walk over but long enough to not be able to get back the same way if the ice would break. Slade had been walking over it and had been on the edge when Oliver did the same. Only when Oliver began to walk over it he could see some of the water come through the ice.

Mostly indicating that the ice had been beginning to melt. Something they had not expected to happen. So instead of waiting around Oliver began to shuffle harder to Slade. When he was close Slade grabbed his wrist and pulled him in when the ice cracked for a last time and it opened a bit more.

Oliver turned to look and signed when the only way back, At least as far as they knew had melted away. He turned to Slade who also was looking at the same place. "Yeah let's find some stuff and then we worry about all of that." Oliver knew that they would need to worry about it because this meant that they would have to go through enemy territory. Something he didn't want to go through but he also didn't want to go through the water.

They had been walking around when they finally came across the old camp where the people stayed. Oliver began to look through the tents for some stuff and stuffed that in his backpack while Slade was busy grabbing the weapons that were still laying around. They both knew they had to be fast because sometimes there could still be soldiers close by.

So instead of waiting around they began to walk back. Hoping to find a way that wasn't melted yet or maybe even a way they could jump over. Because it was sort of their way home.

In the end they did find a way to go home. They had found a small path to walk over and then they had walked beside the river until they found their way. When they got back Oliver had let himself fall on the bed and had just laid there for a moment before Slade had come and laid beside him to keep him company.
