Felicity Smoak was an intelligent woman. She knew this just like she knew her own name. But for some reason, ever since Oliver Queen had returned from supposedly dying, and when he was around her, she seemed like a blithering idiot. Most of the time it took her forever to get a sentence out when in his presence. And when she did manage to talk, he just looked at her like she was an alien, which made her feel stupid. He wasn't rude and he didn't flirt with her, which was surprising given his history before he'd boarded the Queen's Gambit and supposedly drowned.
But now here he was, back in town after five years, like nothing had happened. His mother has given him a tour of Queen Consolidated, and when the two of them had reached her desk, she had chattered on and on and made things massively uncomfortable. For which when Mrs. Queen finally and rudely cut her off, the young woman was grateful. As soon as the Queen's left, Felicity slapped her hand to her forehead in embarrassment. "Next time, don't go on and on about components. The guy doesn't know the first thing about them.." She muttered under her breath.
After being gone for five years, Oliver Queen was now going to run Queen Consolidated, a multi-billion dollar company, that he knew nothing about. The blonde sighed and shook her head. "Why do I feel like I'm going to be doing the cheerleader's homework like I used to do in high school?" She mumbled the words and then shook her head and turned back to her computer screen and began to type once more.

The first thing that Thea was aware of was sunlight stabbing through her closed eyes. She groaned and rolled over in the bed, to bury her face in the pillow. It only took a few moments for her to realize that she wasn't at home, in her own bed. The first reason for that was that this bed was much smaller than her own bed. And the second reason was because the pillow didn't smell like the laundry detergent that the family maid used. But also, when she finally forced her eyes open and looked around, there was no pink in the room she was in. And her room was covered ceiling to floor in pink and white.
It took a few minutes for the events of the night before to come back to her and when they did, the brunette quickly bolted up from the bed, and tried to ignore the pain in her head from her hangover. She left the bedroom and walked the short way down the hall, and entered the living room where Roy was asleep on the couch. Despite her headache, Thea remembered that Roy had saved her, and that he had been nice enough to give her his bed for the night. She walked over to the couch and sat down on the arm of it, and reached out to gently rub one of her hands over his arm.
When Roy awoke and they locked eyes, she gave him a small smile. "Good morning. And thank you. For saving me, and for letting me have your bed last night. You didn't have to do any of that, but I appreciate that you did."
