Information. With chloeas.

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.

Looking over at the camera, she raised her eyebrows a little at the smile on Oliver's face. Between her conversation with Clark and the news Stuart had given her, her mood was less than cheerful.

She had just stepped in herself so she was just a couple of steps from the door when she walked over to open it, "you really should start using your keys, especially when I'm expecting you."

At that, he tensed a little, a shock of alarm flooding him at her words. Shit. He held her gaze, his expression suddenly changing and growing very serious. "No. She won't," he agreed.

"No?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice and he looked at her sideways.

He searched her eyes and sighed softly, nodding a little. "All right," he said quietly, expression worried. He was quiet for a moment. "But just so you know, Chloe...I'm here."

His eyes widened a little and he looked at the monitor. "Good plan," he murmured, impressed. As much as he wanted to believe that Mercy wouldn't come after Chloe for what had happened in a version of the future that wasn't going to take place, he wasn't certain. The more they could learn, the better off they'd be.

Sure enough, the next slide was a clear view of his face. "Well, that's...an interesting look for me," he muttered, raising his eyebrows. The next slide showed him turning to look at another black-clad figure, a small smile on his face. And the next revealed Chloe.

He sucked in a breath and turned to look at her.

Oliver felt his stomach tighten a little when the next image was of Chloe standing alone on the sidewalk, a nervous expression on her face.

Where am I? he wondered uneasily.

"Then that's what we stop," he said, his voice filled with determination, turning to face her once more. "We don't let that happen. Whatever it takes to prevent it, we do it."
