Cast of Characters: Franklin Richards, Thea Queen




Franklin Richards has posed:
It is a standard night in Starling city, the night just starting as Franklin waits in line with everyone else. Johnny always told him he is from one of the most publicly know superhero teams and should use that, but Franklin was happy to wait in line. It wasn't often, but he had actually risked going out in normal clothes, a black dress shirt with a dark blue jacket, and black pants though there wasn't a single four in sight he looked like a normal person as he looks around nerviously. that looked like a relax fit as he walks up a couple steps as the people in front go in the music heard as the doors open, and then close.

He could never do this in New York, as someone would reconise him, and as soon as one did it spread quickly until he was bombarded by people asking him all kind of questions. The reason he usually wore a disquise is because he wanted to be left alone by people, or was doing something not to be interupted, and being out of it, even here, was making him nervious.

As he slowly gets to the front he looks up at the large man at the door asking him "Id..." as he asked everyone else before, and after him. Franklin frooze as he knew as soon as his ID said Franklin Richards his 'quiet night out' might turn into a night of being hounded by people so he froze. Staying there he tries to think of an excuse as he hears the man ask him again though a bit irritated as he had to repeat himself.. "Id Sir.... Please." as he was still polite, though he was starting to look up thinking he was going to have to call someone to escort this 'kid' out of here.

Thea Queen has posed:
The security at the door are used to these kind of kids. Rich ones. Most likely trying to score a drink or three at one of the most popular nightclubs in town. And then they remember they are underaged and need to show their ID at the entrance! So the man just sighs as Franklin sort of seems to freeze up. Yep, he totally knows that freeze. Or at least he thinks he does!

Some people behind Franklin are starting to get restless, one even piping up, "My friends are already inside. Move it!" another with, "I am freezing my ass out here.., come on."

It's all starting to come to a close with the security officer reaching a finger up to his ear. To his ear comm. Ready to call a few more gents to escort the young man away. All until a rather familiar voice is heard.

"It's all fine, Jackson. He's with me."

Thea. The woman is in a form fitting black dress tonight, high heels, kohl applied to get her look even sharper and a rather amused little smirk to her lips. Was it a coincidence? Was she just passing through? Or did she spot him out here somehow?

"Come in, Franklin." She offers the young man her hand.

Franklin Richards has posed:
As Franklin hears the crowd turning and the person doubting him, though he faced down ninjas, and made friends with talking dogs in space this is his true weakness. Then he hears her voice, and it makes him smile a bit as he takes a breath reminding himself he is here fo a fun night not neck deep in trouble so he needed to relax, as he took her hand to be escorted in, or escort her in he wasn't sure as it was her place, though it did make him smile at the thought. As they do walk by Jackson though he does nod to the man, "I am sorry I didn't know how to say it." apologizing to the man as he had given offince. Even though it would prob be ignored Franklin still wanted to be kind to people, and even if it was just the person checking ID's at the door he still would be super nice to him as it didn't matter who it was.

As the walk in Franklin gives a "Wow. This place is busier then the ones I see on the TV." and smiles a bit giving her a nod, as they get out off ear shot and into the louder enviroment before he nods, "And thanks for the save back there." he chuckles a bit. "I have never been in a place like this, and I had no idea what to say." he admits as he is just constantly looking around at well everything as he talks. The lights, the music, all of this was new to him and he was taking it in as he just looked like a tourist in some kind of exhibit.

Thankfully he doesn't point at people, but he does add, "Wow.. is that dancing now." he looks at the dance floor with a frown. While this was his age group he had felt alienated by others his age as he had been forced to grow up quickly and looked at others his age as irresponsible, and flighty. His uncle had told him he needed to relax, and remove the stick, but Johnny always did have a colorfull way of explaining things at times.

He is doing well walking with her till the beat hits hard, as is part of the song, and startles him a bit making him flinch a little looking for the trouble the sound reminding him of laser beams in a low oxygen system. He immeditly realises this though and relaxes again with a "Sorry..." and a smile with a nervious chuckle.

Thea Queen has posed:
If there was a doubt on whether Thea runs the place or not the way Jackson looks back at Thea with respect and a, "Yes, Ma'am." without even hesitating is telling. Yes, she may very well be the top dog at this establishment.

She had hinted to it before after all.

Thea leads Franklin into the place, being polite enough to give that illusion that it's Franklin doing the leading, slender arm hooked with the young man's and a faint smile to her lips. "You never came to a club?" a brow arches, "You had told me about these places being a .., distraction to you but I didn't know you had never come to one.." some amusement at that. "Well, you will just have to make sure you have a great time so you know what you have been missing." it followed by a wink.

A glance to the dance floor where young men and women are dancing to some techno sound by the DJ and she nods. "Please don't tell me you come from a distant past. You mentioned tango the other time but I wasn't sure how serious you were about it all... Maybe you were."

"Come on, I know a good place for us.." And indeed she does, because she leads the duo towards a small cozy booth on the side, mostly out of the way of the lights and the thump-thump of the music even if it still provides a good observation point to the rest of the club.

Franklin Richards has posed:
He smiles a bit more red in the face as he listens giving a bit of a nod to her question though he waits as she leads him to the Booth though he still looks around a bit as they sit there the look more of curiousity then of wanting to do anything as he finally speaks up, "No... Umm My life has been different. Missions, School.. I had friends but I was ^way too dang..." he stops clearing his throat with a chuckle. "Untrained... To leave the Baxtor building." he watches the people as if studing them, and sees they are relaxing and having fun. This made his smile a bit deeper as it had been a while since he seen others like that. "My first real memory is being kidnapped by Doom." he shrugs a bit still looking away. "Thank you for inviting me though.. it can be easy to forget this exist when your always working.."

With a shrug he turns to look at her, "And no.. I am not from the past." he grins while answering "I just.... was never given time for something like this. I wish I could explain the wonder I feel at seeing such a place even though I know.. I know it is only a nightclub, but such a unique enviroment." he notes though that grin turns into a smile. "Though the Mamushka was a joke. I would never joke about the Tango." he chuckles lightly taking up a pose with one arm across his chest and the other in the air before returning to normal.

"Dancing tought rythum, and how to move in sync with others. It was part of our training curriculum." he shakes his head, "Though saying that out loud sounds wierd." To change the topic he looks at her grining again. "Though looks at Miss over there. You did say you ran this place. Maybe Oliver is not the only one with buisness sense."

Thea Queen has posed:
"Ah, that's a core memory right there ..." This about being kidnapped by Doom. Thea's eyebrows are arched though, somewhat impressed with the kind of life that Franklin has been leading. "Doesn't sound like an easy life growing up." she comments. There's a pause as one of the waiters comes over and she smiles. "Hello Jess, I will have my usual OJ.. And what about you, Franklin?"

Jess will wait for Franklin to make his request and then leave them to their talk.

Thea continues, "That's good." about not being from the past. "Don't want having to help you get the DeLorean to work even if it probably could be quite the adventure." a chuckle escapes her lips. That the Mamushka is a joke seems to disappoint her, "Was it?" She shakes her head, "And here I was thinking you were good with blades. I did try fencing in the past, I am not that bad.." selling herself short! She is probably better with a sword than a bow now. Specially after some training with Malcolm Merlyn ..., and Deathstroke. Details!

"Oliver does have a hand in the place too, but he's not around tonight." she says. "Did you get to meet him again?" she wonders.

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin nods, "I have always been a Hero, and publicly as well though ." he shakes his head at that.. "While it wasn't really great socially." he waves a hand to the crowd, "I have a carring Mother, Father, Sister, and two uncles... Believe me much have have it worse." and chuckles a bit at this as sure he had his blindspots, but life wasn't bad. Though he is pulled out of it as he looks up, "Tea.. Or water if you don't have it." he requests lightly with a smile though adds, "Thank you" to the person taking the order.

"Don't joke... I still get pulled into the past sometimes. It is never fun, but the younger me seems to enjoy the heck out of it!" he shakes his head at that with a chucke... Was he joking perhaps it wouldn't be clear. "I wish I was though Ben says I fight like a drunk sailor." and smiles as he clearifies, "Dirty, and violent." and chuckles a bit. "I am more of a..." he stops thinking about it as he wasn't sure how to clasify it. With a shrug he continues, "The glass cannon... So people rarely actually fight me anymore unless they don't know me of course. It is why I can have time to sit here and drink tea with you, as before they got it someone would of burst in here by now." and looks at the door just to double check fate wasn't going to mess with him.

As she mentions Oliver meeting he lights up again. "Oh! I have not but I met the green arrow guy that is fighting in the streets." he nods to her. "I even got to explain what I was doing though I do not know if he is going to accept." he shrugs a bit, "Some of the information might be secret, and he has more then just him to think about, as aperently he does have a team!" he grins, "I took my shot though, and even if it doesn't work it always fails if you don't try right?"

Thea Queen has posed:
"Sorta public..." Thea hand wobbles, making a face, "I mean, I didn't recognize you so .., you seem to be able to go unknown when you want to. Though it might just be because we are in Starling." faint grin cropping up on her sharp features, "... things are always a bit different around here."

As Franklin asks for tea she looks at Jess, "Green tea." she says as if to finalize his request, "It's a specialty here." Thea does seem to like her green apparently. Verdant is just another synonym for it, isn't it?

With Franklin then speaking about his combat training she chuckles, "Dirty and violent? Now I am curious.." her tone teasing, "Does that only apply to fighting?" those blue eyes flashing a moment, taking a drink from her OJ before allowing a chuckle to leave her lips.

The Young Queen doesn't seem too worried that someone might be bursting into the Verdant anytime soon, eyes remaining on Franklin while they speak in that booth, she nodding at the talking about the Arrow, "The Green Arrow guy." she seems amused on how Franklin calls him, "But what do you want to do? Join him and his group?" she smiles at Jess as the tea is finally brought in.

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin nods, with a smile, "We are not as popular anymore as there are a lot more mutants, and metas known then there were back in the day." of course his back in the day was fifteen years ago, so maybe not so much back. "It is nice, and sad at the same time as I do enjoy being able to walk around unnoticed again, but it isn't easy being a fad that people throw away when they are tired of it." and frowns a bit, but he is just playing as he wasn't actually sad about it enough to frown. It had been a while so he has gotten used to it. "Though I will agree this place is a bit different. Maybe it is the music, but I think there are times when I don't hear the sirens in the background like in New York." and chuckles a bit again.

When she says Green Tea Franklin ods in agreement as he looks up surpriesed.. "Wait... that is what Verdant means!" as he just got the connection. He shakes his head, "Of course.. I thought it was wierd to call your night club countryside, but green.." he chuckles, as the tea gave her away though he had known what the word ment putting two and two together took a suttle push.

As to her next question he looks down a bit embarassed, "No idea.. fighting is all I do." he smiles a bit thinking about it. "Never really allowed myself to think about other things, as it was just a dream of a life I could of had." he sighs just a little at that though embarassed at his lack of living life. "To be honest I was really nervious about coming here even, but I am trying to change, maybe live life a little more then just staying at the top of the tower looking down."

Franklin realises what he is doing as he looks at the door again, and chuckles a bit at himself nerviously as he really did need to relax a little though old habbits kept him a bit high strung at times. "Well from talking to him, I can assume he is male now." answering why he called him that, "And though I don't want to know who it is, I am curiously going through the few names I know." he chuckles a bit again, "I actually thought it was you for a moment, but after meeting him it is silly." he thought about it as he thought Thea had the mind for it, but the chances of her going through all that training, and fighting. It would take a tramatic experience for anyone to do, and Thea did not look like one that faced those issues.

"And no.. I want them to share information. When, and where they fight. Who it was, and the result. Stuff like that." he shrugs a bit "I take all that information, and then the information from Gotham, and New York, as well as whoever else that will work with us. Then I check to see if there are any connections, and look for the big plan that might show itself in patterns." When he is done explaining he takes a small sip of his tea, and nods with a smile. "Good suggestion.. it is very good."

Thea Queen has posed:
"If I called it Verdant tea it would be a bit too much on the nose, don't you agree?" Another chuckle out of Thea and she shakes her head a little to herself. "Green tea works." her tone rich with amusement, eyes finally leaving Franklin and she taking a look around the rest of the club, "You may not hear the sirens but trust me, they are there.." she comments, perhaps more to herself than Franklin.

"But well ..., I will get you into a little secret.." This when Franklin says he doesn't have a lot of experience, ".. from someone who really tried to suck on all the juice life has to offer, it's all very overrated. In the end what happens is a feeling of wasting your best years. It's much better to build." she gestures around, ".. something that will last, you know?" she then winking, "But with that said, living life -is- important. Just not an end in itself." it's clear she has experience in -that- department!

"Me?" She looks surprised when Franklin suggests she might be the Green Arrow, then laughs. "How in the hell did you think that these nails..." and she shows him a slender hand where black painted sharp nails are in display. " ... could ever be made for being some vigilante?" another, more brief chuckle. "But thank you for the thought. Always good to look as if I could be a hero."

"Patterns? Are you following any in particular as of late that you think may have a link to Starling? Or is it mostly laying the groundwork now?"

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin nods, "Of course, it is so obvious once you see it. I think much like our friend in the green hood." he yes her with a grin. "I know you know him, town isn't big enough to pull that under your watch." he smiles a bit with a shrug, "You may hide it but I see a brain in there.. Like a shark.. always moving." he says as he looks at her. With a shrug, and a headshake he smiles quiet for a moment before he then adds, "But like I said I really don't want to know. I have enough secrets to keep that unless I have to why take more."

With a smiles he continues, "Some I could not even say to a nice lady like yourself, though I bet you have a few of your own." he looks at the door again. "We all have them, my sister for example plays games with her of spies, and organizations." he nods a bit. "It is for the good of everyone so I don't act like I see it, but I know." he grins and nods, "So I don't underestimate you Miss Queen, not in the slightest for a moment." and chuckles a bit as he faces her again. "People who think that way can do amazing things."

Leaning back a bit he sighs though out of relaxing a little bit as he didn't want to interogate, but have a fun time. "I wish I could see it, but the only thing I would leave is my art." he smiles though at the memory so it is big smile. "It relaxes me, and lets me show the world my dreams, but I think it will be nice to know, someday hopefully far away, someone might be looking it wishing they knew more about me then less.

He looks down a bit at that, "Sorry if that sounds narcasistic, but it is true sometimes." and then clears his throat to change the subject.. "Right, and umm.. More like moving ahead of the problem. I have heard a few things that have worried me. Hydra, Dark Elves, and I just don't think we can assume there isn't any more with what is out there, and the scale on which they work."

Thea Queen has posed:
"Know him ..." Thea offers a smile back at Franklin, "... perhaps as much as I would know Spider-man if I lived in Queens or Brooklyn." she ventures, taking another drink from her OJ, "But enough of that vigilante brute, mmm?" as if it was time for a subject change.

And Thea has just the perfect subject to talk about. "Time to dance?" she suggests, elegant body sliding out from booth to begin getting up to her feet, "I will make sure to take it slow." she is soooo kind-hearted.

And as she offers a slender hand for Franklin to join her she answers that last part of what he said, "Svartalfar.", she comments, "Or dark elves. As you already know I have an interest with the Asgardian customs. What have you heard about those?" some curiosity on her tone, blue eyes continue to flash in that pleasant manner of hers.

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin just holds up his hands, and says nothing. He did know the identity of some and the ones that he had seen it makes sense that she was involved, but he let it go because as he had said it was just another one to add to the list. Nodding in agrement though he looks at the dance floor. "You mean out there don't you." and he turns to look at her with a sigh, and a nod. "Try new things... Try new thing." he says like a mantra and stands holding out a hand for her. "You drag out the bravery in me what can I say." and checkles though is truely greatful about it being something slow maybe he would not embaress himself that bad. Just being out there was enough attention for him.

He glances at her as she asks about the dark elves as he starts moving that way. "I keep my eye out for any large.... incursions." he shrugs a bit. "I happen to spot one though it was far away from here, and they are taken care of." Thankfully Franklin did not have to do anything this time, earth was defended well, but that isn't to say it didn't hit his alarm switch to check.

Thea Queen has posed:
"Yes, out theeeree.." Thea's attempt of sounding eerily mysterious. But it's all a tease. She seems pleased enough that Franklin accepts to go to the dance floor, taking his hand and starting to bring him across towards the dance floor, weaving past some of the crowd with impeccable balance. Specially with those heels she is wearing.

"Good, I like bringing out things in people.." This said with a laugh. Is she trying to embarass him? Or just loosen him up some? They finally reach the dance floor and Thea continues leading him over, right into the middle of the dance floor, finding a spot where they can stand together.

"The trick is to dance like no one was watching." she says, "No one else exists. Just you and your dance partner." this as the music is slowly starting to shift. From that frantic upbeat techno to something slower. Still electronic but slow enough that it can be danced to without it being too wild. "Now let's see what you've got." she says in ways of challenge.

And then starts to dance, body moving to the beat.

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin sighs, and looks a bit down as others might be looking at Thea moving to the dance floor so it brought more eyes though thankfully none knew him here. He had known she wasn't trying to embarass him just things like this were done better relaxed then stressed. He nods to her, as she leads them through to the center. "Oh your evil.." he says in jest as they approach seeing where she is going though he guessed in for a penny in for a pound so didn't resist just following trying to relax.

He looks at her and closes his eyes taking a deep breath as he could do this. He heard the beat, though he listened for the pattern, as he had never heard a song like this, but knew it had one.

He opened his eyes, and smiled at her at some point you just have to say heck with it, so in his head he counted prime numbers. For some it would be difficult, but to him it put his thinking brain into a sort of loop so he wouldn't over think other things.

So he moved... a little, though he matches the pace of the song as he weaved here and there. With that smile he danced, and tried to ignore others though he still didn't move much. He did seem to focus on not stepping on her feet, as those shoes were prob expensive, and with the heels she could hurt him a lot more by stepping on his feet in revenge.. Though the thought made him chuckle a bit, as he was starting to relax a bit more.

Thea Queen has posed:
"Don't worry." Thea says back at Franklin, perhaps noticing some of that stress, "It's like being at the eye of a storm. Calm, peaceful. No one looks at us here." she tells him. And in a way it's true. When you are right in the middle of the dance track? People aren't looking at you. Not the ones on the tables. Not the dancers. Just Thea seems to have her eyes on Franklin, "But in answer, yes, I am evil... Did you ever think otherwise?"

It's maybe a good thing that Franklin isn't counting those prime numbers aloud. Thea might had just called him a nerd! Perhaps with good reason...

"Alright, it's a good start.." She calls out over the sound all around the place, "Just need to get that body moving.." which Thea is doing right now, her movements fluid and full of grace, almost like a cat. As for stepping on her feet? Good luck with that! She is moving in that kind of way that seems to complement well Franklin's lack of experience in these settings.

"They are Prada." She says when she catches him perhaps looking down too much. "Eyes up here. Don't worry about stepping on me." she moves closer to him as the music begins to intensify again, sound, movement, energy, all around the dancetrack now. And around Franklin.

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin eyes Thea though smiles. "Never for a moment." leaning in for a moment he whispers, "Like a shark." and chuckles lightly leaning back. Though he glances around, and does actually see most people are looking at something way more important then him. He grins a bit, and nods realising he is of focusing on something that wasn't even happening and that does help. He looks at her and thinks about what he did before, but watches her as he is cought so can't look down again.

He looks guilty a little as he knew better then to look at the feet, but that goes away to a smile as he forgets about it as there were other things to worry about. Not being a slouch he tries again, and this time other then just swaying he tries moving a little, nothing too big as he didn't want to walk off the floor, but he did want to try moving a bit with the sound. While this was in time, and it might bring him a little away it was all working out as he was moving a lot more relaxed.

That is until he zigged to the sounds, as someone around them zagged and boop he runs into someone. With a chuckle, Franklin Apologises as the person doesn't look happy, but see's Thea and gives him a sure thing and gets back to dancing. Turning around a red faced Franklin moves back over. "Okay a little less moving." he noted looking at her with a nod.

While the other person might of taken the slightly redder face as anger Thea should clearly know it was embarassment.

Thea Queen has posed:
Being called a shark amuses Thea somewhat, the heiress continuing to dance it out like a natural in such environments. And considering she actually owns a nightclub? She might indeed be one. That energy is notable too, she moving at the kind of pace that tells of someone used to physical exercise. Or maybe it's just a lot of cardio.

"Where are you going?" She calls out when Franklin gets a bit expansive on his moves and bops against another person. She laughs out and leans over. "I don't have to chain you down, do I?" she asks in that teasing manner of hers. "Or maybe that's just what you want.." she wonders with a mischievous grin.

One hand reaches over to take Franklin's shoulder, bringing him closer, enough that they dance in each other's personal space but not enough to be indecent, "You can touch me if you want, you know?" the music feeling louder now, the powerful rhythm all over the dance track.

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin looks back at the person he booped into, and turns smiling at her, "No.. I get enough chains at kidnappings I don't need any here." and chuckles, as they always like to tie him to the chair, and he had learned it gave them some amount of security that he wouldn't do anything though it would be easy for him to get out. His mind tries to sneak in as he thinks 197... 199. Letting it fall back into the patern he moves back over towards her.

He looks at her, and loses count when she puts a hand on his shoulder and suggest he should do the same. He smiled, and looked down for a moment then back up at her with a nod, mirrors her action trying to fall back into movement with the music again.

Starting over with the fibonacci sequence closing his eyes this time he just lets his mind swim in the music to move calmly with it like floating in water though the waves would be the beats of the rhythm as he gently held on to Thea so he wouldn't float away. He opens his eyes and smiles at her, he wasn't even sweating yet as though he wasn't a ninja he went on walks for miles sometimes lost in thought, and strangly that had given him a bunch of stanima over time.

He always thought he was crazy for doing that, and well so did a few others, but for now he was glad as this dancing stuff required a bunch of movement, and if he was not used to it he can see how this could be tough. Though he was relaxed just moving with the sound he considered. He smiles at her as he does "Perhaps moving away was a trick." it wasn't of course, but with a grin he adds. "Make sure you keep a good hold of me so I don't float away or something." letting in just a little of his thoughts with the attempted humor.

Thea Queen has posed:
"Villains really do that?" Thea asks, sounding soooo innocent about the workings of heroes and villains, "... tying people up?" then a salacious little grin coming to her expression. "Maybe I should get into the business.." shameless Thea! But it's all said in good humor, she not really sounding serious about it at all.

They dance now, closer, a brow arching at Franklin at those daring words in the end there. "Oh..?" her other arm moving to reach up and join in wrapping around the man's neck. "Maybe you are the evil one then .., trying to trick me. Shame on you, Franklin Richards. Shame on you.." she teases, an enigmatic smile to her lips.

"But don't worry, I think I got a good hold on you."

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin nods, "Yes, I think they can't comperhend what is actually happening, or have no idea who they actually have." he grins a bit, "Though my normal wardrobe doesn't help." he really did just hide in plain sight as an overboard fan as she had seen last time. It felt wierd now not wearing a varation of it so maybe he had stayed undercover for too long though he has to chuckle a bit at getting into the buisness, "I am glad you can joke about it though you brooding on a gargoyle might be interesting.." he is obviously kidding as well as he didn't think she was in the buisness.

Though as they get closer he grins a bit, "I have a very astute art critic I would like to blame it on." and chuckles a bit just dancing not thinking about it anymore. He looks down at her with a small grin, there is a buzz on his watch and he ignores it. Then another as he looks at Thea with a sad look.

"I am sorry... I wish I could ignore it." he looks at the watch buzz again as he doesn't answer it yet still just dancing trying to ignore the call though he knows he can not for long. "It is the job, and they never give weekends off." and chuckles lightly again.

Thea Queen has posed:
While Thea might be the more carefree heiress that owns a nightclub and apparently likes to dance the night away the Red Arrow knows one never ignores the call. Someone needs them, and they answer. It's that simple where it comes to being a hero, specially when it's your family in need. Like her own brother.

So when Franklin apologizes for it? She only smiles, understanding visible on her expression. She remains close to the man for a few moments longer before her arms leave him. "Life of a superhero." she says, " ... and like they say, saved by the bell.."

"I am sure we will have other chances to talk. Come by again sometime if you feel like dancing, maybe next we get to that tango?" She grins at him, gesturing for them to leave the dance floor.

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin nods, and looks back as a cloud starts to appear, but at his glare it disapears again looking like a rejected cloud into nothing again, as he would not have the portal open here as he figured it might be embarassing. The look replaced by a sad smile and nod as she understood, though this is why he thought she knew who the Green Arrow was, but he didn't really care so didn't even ask. He looks at her, and smiles. "That you for a memory I will not soon forget. If this is goodbye then know.. I am out there, some day to be found again." and grins at her.

"Do not worry, I will be back.. Perhaps my buisness in Starling City does need a bit more of my time." though as the watch buzzes again, he grins at her. "I will bring the roses, if you bring the music." he did remember her saying there was a dance night here. He takes a step back forcing himself to leave he looks at her until he can not, he sighs, and turns. Whoever this was had picked a bad time, and as he steps outside, and maybe to the shock of some people outside a black cloud jumps open out of no-where as he stomps through it without hesitation it closing very quickly afterwards. He wouldn't actually hurt them, or maybe at least if he did repair them afterwards as it was him who did it. He promised to himself to return soon though as Thea was a nice person to relax with, and heck the interuption itself had gave him a reason to fight.... Revenge!
