One More Moment. With chloeas.

Oliver knocked softly on the door to Chloe's new apartment. Once the power had returned the night before, they had finally managed to get out of the elevator and used his phone to call Bart. Sure enough, the younger man had sped to Metropolis before Chloe had even hung up the phone, and between the three of them, had all of her things moved out and her bed put together before Midnight.

He hadn't slept once he'd arrived back at the clock tower. Instead, he'd gone out patrolling. It had been awhile since the last time he'd patrolled Metropolis. It was different from Star City in a lot of ways. More dangerous in some ways and less in others. After all, Metropolis had the Red-Blue Blur looking after it, as well. Still. It was a hell of a big city for one man to look after alone. Sure, Clark was capable of it. But Oliver didn't like feeling useless. And if he helped make the place even a little bit safer for its occupants, than it was worth it.

When he arrived mid-morning the next day, he hadn't slept in nearly twenty four hours. He was used to the lack of sleep anyway. He held the small gift behind his back as he waited for her to answer her door.

Chloe, on the other hand, had managed to sleep. A lot. She hadn't been getting much sleep in the past few weeks, both because of her lovely former neighbors and because, well she just didn't sleep as well by herself. Even if she wasn't willing to admit it and there was no point in admitting it anyway because she had to get used to it.

After Oliver and Bart left, she took a quick shower and was asleep the second she hit the bed, and hadn't woken up until about fifteen minutes ago, so when Oliver knocked, she was still in her PJs.

Frowning a little, she looked down at herself and decided it was decent enough, then took a deep breath and opened the door, not at all surprised to see him there, "hey."

Oliver was silent for a moment and he nodded slowly. "I'm sure I'll be back sooner than later." Probably sooner than she really wanted.
