Emiko Queen	This has been coming, it had to happen. That thing that every young man hates... meeting his girlfriend's family. Emiko, however, is insistent that Bart has to meet Oliver and also insisting that it won't be that bad. They're zooming up on a motorcycle (a car is just illogical to keep in the city!), one of those foreign 'crotch rocket' types. All black and red and sleek and speedy. When they pull up to the house, she parks and lets Bart off first, hopping off after him and taking his hand with a smile, "C'mon. Ollie's been asking about you since I sent him that picture you took." Then she's pulling him up the stairs and into the house proper. "OLLIE!"
Bart Allen	Bart Allen smirks and does not seem bothered by her driving on the motorcycle, he held on but was ready to step off and move if need be, the speed not bothering him "I could have got us here quicker." He teases a bit softly as he walks along with him, being led by his hand
Oliver Queen	Oliver Queen wears a light flannel over a Willy Nelson t-shirt, matched with jeans and boots. He's in the middle of looking over some sort of blueprint that he quickly scoops up and rolls into a nearby desk drawer before Emiko and her new beau come in. "I'm in the library," he calls out, going over to take a sip of his water. He's not nervous. Ollie doesn't do nervous, generally speaking. When the two arrive, he'll offer a hug to Emiko and then a hand to Bart, "You must be Bart. Oliver Queen. Good to finally meet you."
Emiko Queen	Laughing lightly, Emiko grins at Bart, "Well, if you wanted to expose your secret so flamboyantly, you could have said so." She grins at the sound of Oliver calling fromt he library and quickly pulls Bart along. Oliver gets a tight hug and kiss to his cheek before she's stepping back to smile between the two men. "He is. Bart Allen. Oliver Queen. Ollie, this is my boyfriend, Bart." Then she falls silent so the two can talk.
Bart Allen	Bart Allen says, "Well I would have stopped a bit away." He tells her but smiles. He steps up and offers his hand to Ollie. "Bart Allen a pleasure to meet you, Emiko has spoke about you all good things.""
Oliver Queen	Oliver Queen cocks his head, "All good things? Well, I appreciate that she's been polishing my reputation. That's what good siblings do. Except Thea. Thea always makes sure everyone knows my faults," he says with some amusement. "Allen, Allen. Any relation to Barry Allen? He's an old friend of mine."
Emiko Queen	"To be fair, Thea's gotten the benefit of like... loving parents and everything. She's also had more time with you. I've mostly just had the last few years. Shine hasn't really rubbed off the whole 'brother who cares' thing yet," Emiko winks at Oliver and takes Bart's hand with a smile, looking to him for the answer to Oliver's question.
Bart Allen	Bart Allen looks to the other man unsure what to say for a moment, but then says "Yea, but he and I have only met once." He does not tell him it was in hero side or not. "I got to go to talk to him in his lab at the police department.
Oliver Queen	Oliver Queen smiles, "I'm not so sure that Thea would consider that she got the better end of that particular deal," he chuckles. "I'm glad you still think I'm bright and shiny. I tend to tarnish easily, especially the more time you spend with me." He nods to Bart, "Barry does love his work. God knows why. Work is the worst. That's why I've made a point of never having an actual job."
Emiko Queen	"I'm not sure Thea knows how good she had it then. She had people that actually cared about her around her. Perhaps one of these days, I should enlighten her so that she can better aprpeciate what a good brother you truly are," Emiko rubs at the back of her neck at the start, but ends on a smile, any awkwardness from trying to avoid certain phrases like 'at least her parents didn't try to kill her' wiped away. She glances to Bart, smiling faintly, then over to Oliver, "You might know some of his other close friends, too, Ollie. Bart really manages to get around and everyone genuinely likes him."
Bart Allen	Bart Allen looks over and smirks, he rubs a hand through his hair, and says "Well it must run in the family, as I work for the zoo, and enjoy it, am going to college for veterinary medicine. He smiles a bit and looks over to Emiko, and says "I don't know if everyone likes me, I am just me." He offers with a smile. I do have some really good friends though.
Oliver Queen	Oliver Queen smiles to Bart, even as he says, "Not everyone likes you. That's not a thing. Nobody is universally liked and the sooner you accept it, the happier you're gonna be, kid. Some people are worth pissing off," he says. To Emiko, he nods, "Hey, if you wanna put Thea in her place, I'm not going to stop you. Just warn me so I can make sure I'm not in the same building when it happens," he says. "If everything Barry has runs in the family, then I imagine we do know some of the same people."
Emiko Queen	"Pfft, the only people that don't like Bart aren't worth the skin they're wrapped in." She smiles up at him, "And I think he's very aware of it." Emiko looks back to Oliver and lifts a brow, "What, you don't want balcony seats so you can watch with popcorn? Could have Felicity over, make it a family affair. And that way there will be someone not panicking to call the ambulances when the fighting is done." She grins at him unrepentantly, then looks to Bart with a lifted brow. This is his chance if he wants to have an easy segue into it.
Bart Allen	Bart Allen 's brow raises a bit at Ollie, and tries to decide if the man is alluding to what he thinks he is or if he is just hearing what he somewhat wants to. Trying to decide if he would be outing Barry or not. He will wait till Ollie turns his head to look at something and then he is off and back in the blink of an eye, now wearing a completely different outfit than he was wearing a moment ago. He smiles a bit and says "I have been told a lot run in the family, but my hair color runs more from my grandmothers side of the family than his side."
Oliver Queen	Oliver Queen shakes his head, "Don't drag Felicity into it. I'm sure she'd much rather watch it through the webcams. Plus, she can't fight like the two of you. She might lose her fingers. And I need those fingers. For...computer stuff," he says. At Bart's expression, he just gives a big wink and shrugs, "Honestly, I should just have a Tony Stark style press conference one of these days. I'm terrible at keeping secrets."
Emiko Queen	"Uh huh. You know I'm an adult right. I understand that you're having sex. You can just say it," Emiko lets out a small chuckle and shakes her head, glancing over at the slight shift in air that suggests Bart went somewhere. The chuckle turns to a laugh and she shakes her head, "I think you'll have to be less subtle, sweetie. From what I understand, Felicity basically had to knock him upside the head with a brick that said 'I LIKE YOU' before he noticed." Then Ollie is being more blutn and she grins, "You really are. And you passed it along to me. Bart had to warn me that people aren't always so open about who they are and what they do."
Bart Allen	Bart Allen nods, and says "Rob, and Max both taught me a lot about making sure that you did not tell everyone everything. It works for some folks, but you have to be very careful or very prepared for it." He rubs Emiko's back with one hand smiling and says "Emiko, and I found out we had a lot more in commone on our second meeting than our first."
Oliver Queen	Oliver Queen blinks, "We are not!" he says. "I mean, not that I wouldn't...I mean it hasn't even come up...I mean, she works for me, that's not...hey, we're not talking about me here," he says. He nods to Bart, "Yeah, masks can make things weird. Honestly, it's good that you have that in common. I think it's kind of gross when people have to lie to their partners about who they are. Just not a good basis for a relationship. On the other hand, what the fuck do I know about healthy relationships?"
Emiko Queen	Emi leans forward, peering at Ollie, looking all over his face, "Damn, not even a LITTLE blush?? One of these days, Oliver Queen!" She shakes her fist, then dissolves into laughter, sobering after a minute. "But seriously, you should ask her out. She's awesome. And she puts up with you. And she's hands down the most competent woman you've ever been around that isn't a blood relative. So like... chop-chop. Emi wants nieces and nephews." Now that she's done her sisterly duty in tormenting her brother, she looks back to Bart and smiles, "Gonna tell him your other name? Might as well. I mean..." she puts a hand to her chest, "Red Arrow..." she points to Oliver and grins. "Or are we still worried that Batman is surveilling the house?" She also gives a nod to Oliver's words, "I wasn't looking forward to trying to make THAT work, but I figured being a trust fund kid with a brother that owns a corporation would be excuse enough for having to run out at weird times. Thankfully, not an issue. AND. If I get into the Titans? We can even do missions together!"
Bart Allen	Bart Allen says, "Batman is surveilling everywhere. I mean he snuck into our base, which is one of his own sidekick's base. " He smirks a bit and says "Hope actually shot him with a stungun, but his suit kept him from being hurt. I got him some bat water, well water, that I drew a bat symbol on." He admits. He nods a bit and says "Impulse." And with that and a blur he stands in costume, looking very much like Barry and Wally's but coloring a bit different, more white and red than just red."
Oliver Queen	Oliver Queen nods, "Green Arrow. Me, Emiko and a big old fir tree, and you've got Christmas," he says. He pours himself a couple of fingers of whiskey, "Either for you two? Don't worry, I'm not checking IDs. I'm not the cops. I don't even like cops," he says. "You guys fought with Batman? That's a terrible idea. I'm amazed you have teeth. That was always a thing I wondered about the Joker - how did he still have such a big smile after fighting Batman so much? Before he got killed, of course. That one's gotta be a load off old B..." he pauses, "Batman's mind." Bruce is really picky about that identity thing, unlike Ollie. He blinks a bit as Bart runs in and out. "Nice outfit. You're like a really fast marshmallow. I like it."
Emiko Queen	"I drove, so probably not a great idea for me. Bart... does it even do anything for you?" Emi glances at Bart and lifts a brow. This is pure curiosity. Science suggests his metabolism would power through the whiskey before he even noticed it was there. Which begs the question of 'how much alcohol does it take to get a Flash drunk?'. Emi looks to Oliver, "Hey Ollie, has Barry ever been drunk? Like, have you ever seen him drunk? Can he even GET there?" Because if anyone would know, it'd be him! Then she's smiling up at Bart in costume and chuckles, "I really need to figure out like ... some kinda tech that will insta-costume for me." She tugs Bart down to kiss his cheek, then looks back to Oliver with squinty eyes, then sighs. "Am I the only one that doesn't get to know? Lame. Fine. I don't even care." Yes she does.
Bart Allen	Bart Allen smiles and says ""Not really, I mean maybe if I drank like a really really really lot it might, but I heal really fast so things like that don't do a lot for me." He admits. He looks to her, and says "You could maybe fire an arrow up in the sky and it comes down and coats you with something that forms your costume." He offers in a thought, and then he is back in normal attire, and says "We didn't really fight him, was more him checking us out and Hope reacting out of instinct when he did the whole out of no where appearance."
Oliver Queen	Oliver Queen shrugs, "More for me, I guess. I wouldn't drink it for the taste, Bart. Unless you're really into woody turpentine," he says. "What, being a world-class archer and martial artist isn't enough, now you want instant clothes, too? Sheesh. Kids these days," he says. "It is harder now that they got rid of all the phone booths, I'll grant you that."
Emiko Queen	Nodding, Emi murmurs, "That's what I figured. Man, can't even get drunk. Though I guess the same goes for caffeine. Can't really get hyped either. Probably always in hype mode anyways." She grins at Bart, "You're so interesting!" She gives a shake of her head, "Way, WAY too many issues with that. First being, there is no material right now IN THE WORLD that exists as a liquid AND solid AND protects against fists, knives, guns, and arrows. Just doesn't exist." She grins as he blurs bakc to normal clothes. "See how handy that is? Can you imagine NEVER having to wiat for me to be ready again?" She looks at Oliver, "I got those on my OWN thank you very much. So yes. I want instant clothes. I want to never have to spend twenty minutes getting into and out of street clothes and costume. Do you know how painful that is when you see something happen and have to go change? I changed behind a BUSH, Ollie. Face it. Between lack of late night stores with convenient back rooms, lack of foliage, and the preponderence of streetcams and people with video surveillance? You're lucky there hasn't been a tabloid cover with me half-naked on it."
Bart Allen	Bart Allen grins a bit and says "Most people and figured that last bit out, I still like the taste of caffeine drinks, and the worried look on people face when I chug a case of Monster and they think I am going to be on a caffeine rush is worth the wait." He grins a bit more, and says "Well I am sure we can think of something, "Maybe something you could wear under your normal one, maybe made out of the goat spider silk stuff?
Oliver Queen	Oliver Queen shrugs, "It's no different for me. I've had many a time struggling in the bushes or in some janitor's closet trying to get off a tuxedo and shove myself into an armored jerkin," he sighs. "Rather than being frustrated about it, look at it as an opportunity to improve your meditation techniques. Channel your zen or something," he shrugs. "But if you absolutely want, I'm sure we can make some surreptitous overtures towards STAR Labs or some other superscience division to see if there are unstable molecules or anything of which we might make use."
Emiko Queen	"Wait... wait wait wait. Back up... goat spider silk? There's a GOAT SPIDER?!" Emiko blinks, then pinches the bridge of her nose, "I can deal with the super pets. That's.. weird, but whatever. But like... scientifically experimented on super pets?" She lets out a small shudder. "Ew. Spiders are cute. Goats are cute. But like.. mixing the two seems like nightmare fuel." Letting out a slow breath, she sticks her tongue out at Oliver, "You're a dude. If you get caught changing, people will chuckle and roll their eyes, some prudes will make gasping motions, you'll get some spicy phone calls from random women, life will go on. If -I- get caught like that? It becomes an international incident as 'newly arrived sister of billionaire Oliver Queen is discovered stripping in closets'. I will become universally HATED by everyone, my picture will be everywhere, and I will have to break so many noses just for the unending incessant catcalls, harassment, and attempted sexual assaults because clearly 'I want it'... no." Emiko folds her arms over her chest and grumbles, "Being a girl in the US sucks."
Bart Allen	Bart Allen shakes his head, and says "No, you would not be hated by everyone, and I would be breaking some of those noses, you would not have to break them all." He offers kissing her cheek "And no it is a goat where they put some spider silk glans or something into it. The silk comes out in the milk, and can be made into bullet proof shirts and such.?
