Tequila. RP for chloeas.

Forty-five minutes later found them in downtown Metropolis, wearing casual dress clothes. Oliver had removed the sling, not wanting to take any extra chances when it came to drawing the media's attention. Instead, he simply wore his brown leather jacket over his shirt, giving himself a little extra padding in case his arm got bumped.

Glancing at her sideways as they walked down the sidewalk, he smiled faintly. "So where is this place?"

His eyes widened just a little. "Whoa. Might wanna slow down there, Sidekick," he teased, watching her set the now empty glass down on the table. "We just got here."

Yeah that had probably not have been the smartest idea, she already felt a little buzzed, which wasn't surprising considering the only thing she had in her stomach was coffee.

But if he was going to keep talking about 'her', she would need a couple more of those, "I thought we were supposed to be celebrating?"

"We are," he assured her. "But unless you want that celebration to end with praying to the porcelain god, we better get you something to eat." He flagged down the waitress, then looked at Chloe again. "Anything you want, on me."

The last thing she needed was to get sick and for Oliver to see that. So when the waitress came, she ordered something that wasn't as strong then turned to him and smiled softly, "I'll make sure that doesn't happen."

"Good, because speaking from a lot of experience, tequila hangovers aren't a lot of fun." He grimaced a little, then met her eyes once more before finishing off his own drink. He had the feeling that Chloe, in general, wasn't much of a drinker, and he couldn't help but feel concerned.

Thanking the waitress when she brought her her drink, Chloe sipped on it then nodded at Oliver, "I've seen it happening a lot with Lois, I know." She grinned softly at him, she was definitely a little tipsy.

Oliver watched her for a moment, feeling a little uncertain about her finishing off another drink. "And Lois has had a lot more practice at holding her liquor than you have is my guess."

"Maybe?" Chloe smiled, sipping on her drink then leaning back against the booth, "I guess you could say Lois enjoyed her college years a lot more than I did."

He gazed at her, small smile on his face. "Yeah, well, you've been too busy playing hero to really enjoy college." His voice was quiet as he contemplated the truth in that.
