Information. With chloeas.

[olliequeen]

Oliver's mind had not been on work the entire afternoon, especially when he'd gotten a message from Chloe stating that Stuart had woke up, and that she was going to go talk to him. His stomach was tight with unease as he waited on the doorstep. It never felt right to just barge in on her. Watchtower was her place, and while she'd always made it clear he was welcome, it just felt wrong to let himself in.

So he reached up and rang the bell, looking up at the security camera and offering her a grin. Not as wide as it could have been, but a grin nonetheless.

"Chloe." His voice was quiet and he moved closer to her once more, ducking his head a little to catch her eyes.

She didn't say anything, just looked up at him.

Oliver held her gaze, his own intense. "We're a team, right?" His voice was very quiet.

Holding her breath, she nodded, locking her gaze with his, "we are." She needed his help and she knew she did, hacking, computer skills, information would only get her so far.

"Do you trust me?" His voice was even quieter now. A few weeks ago she told him she trusted him, but not that much, and he certainly couldn't blame her considering how he'd been acting.

She wasn't expecting that particular question from him, but she found herself being completely honest when she answered, "of course I trust you, Oliver."

Oliver smiled faintly at the sincerity in her voice. "We're in this together. And we'll do what has to be done."

After studying him for a second, she nodded, Oliver was a lot more like her than she though, she knew that if it came down to kill or be killed, Oliver would be there with her and would do whatever it took to protect Earth from Zod. Something she didn't think Clark could do or would ever approve of.

"I'd say let's shake on it, but all things considered that feels a little informal." He offered her a small smile, then stepped forward and hugged her.

She wrapped her arms around him without hesitation, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes as she did, grateful that he was there with her.

Oliver held her tightly, resting his head against hers for a long moment. Those towers could not rise under any circumstances. And come hell or high water, they'd make sure it didn't happen.
