Starting Over

STAR CITY

JANUARY 30TH

Patrick and Artemis were curled up on the couch together, Artemis didn't want to let Patrick out of her sight.

Artemis: so you don't remember anything from Tartarus?

Patrick: nope. Nothing.

Artemis: then-

Patrick: I'm going to go get some cookies.

Artemis: I'll go with you!

Patrick: uhm, ok?  Are you ok?

Artemis: I'm fine, it's just..

Patrick: look, I know this is hard. I'm mean, I died, it's okay if you need to talk about it.

Artemis: Patrick, you were dead, for a whole three years. And now, you're back. What if you run off to save us again, and die. You died twice Patrick. I love you, but I don't know if I can lose you again.

Patrick: you wont. Because, I'm continuing where we left off

Artemis: what?

Patrick: (he got on one knee) Artemis Crock, will you marry me?

Artemis: oh you idiot, you didn't have to ask.

Patrick: oh I know. But I wanted to.

Artemis and Patrick embraced and kissed.

They pulled apart after Patrick realized something.

Patrick: I need a job.

OLIVER QUEEN HOME

Patrick walked in the door and Dinah immediately gave him a hug.

Dinah didn't want to let go but Patrick pulled away.

Patrick: look, uhm, I need help.

Dinah: of course, what's wrong?

Patrick: well, being back from the dead doesn't present a lot of job opportunities. And I was thinking, maybe I could work at the bar you sing at.

Dinah: Patrick, are you asking if you could sing with me?

Patrick: well, yeah.

Dinah hugged him with a huge smile on her face

Dinah: I'd love that.

1 WEEK LATER

Dinah: I still can't believe he's alive.

Oliver: you want to talk about it?

Dinah: well, I mean, there's not much to talk about.
