For the past few months we have been doing what we can to rebuild the city. School ended and finally September rolled around for the past months they rebuilt the schools and I got to just practice with Oliver and Diggle. I was in choir, band, and art, along with my 'core' classes. I still did show choir, gymnastics and boxing.
Oliver's phone began to ring and I grabbed it looking at the name 'Barry Allen'. I smirked and answered.
"Hey, Barry! Your awake." I say cheerfully, Oliver's head snaps up and starts moving towards me. I rush away and climb the closest support beam to scurry up out of Oliver's reach.
"Peyton, uh hey. I thought I was calling Oliver?" He questioned. I laughed at both Barry and Oliver who was still chasing me trying to get his phone back.
"Yeah, answered it for him and now running away from him." I balence on a metal beam and doing a flip making Oliver tense. "So your awake?"
"Yeah, woke up a few days ago, things have been a little crazy since I woke up. How are you guys?"
"Eh, kinda boring, Ollie won't let me out onto the streets after the whole army of super soldiers fighting everyone, and I didn't listen and stay inside but went out and helped people. Oliver's mom was killed by Slade Wilson which is always a little touchy subject. Didn't really have a chance to know her before she went to prison and she died like a month after that so." I shrug and continue to do flips and Oliver glared at me. "Oliver, I am immune to death glares." I taunt.
"Wow, tha-that's a lot of stuff. Can I talk to Oliver?" He asks.
"Yeah, one minute." I say looking at Oliver and dropping the phone into his hands. Oliver mouths at me 'we will talk about this later.' And I shrug again before going onto my nest that I've since moved.

Oliver finished talking with Barry and then climbed up on the table nearest to me and jumped grabbing onto the support beam next to me and he pulled himself up.
"Barry is on his way here." He tells me.
"Going on a date?" I tease.
"Peyton, I don't like Barry." He says looking at me dead in the face.
"Sure you don't." I smirk. "You don't smile every time his name is mentioned, you don't visit him in the hospital or STARR Labs every two weeks just to make sure he's okay." I tease him.
"You didn't say you didn't like boys just that you didn't like Barry." I point out pokeing him with my foot.
"Because I'm pan." He says confirming my suspicions.
"Then why don't you just ask. It won't hurt anything." I say.
He glares at me before dropping down onto the floor and suiting up and heading outside to meet Barry.
A week later Oliver is dressed up in a suit and a tie. I smirk and go back to doing my homework. When Oliver finally comes back later that night he is smiling and just extremely happy.

"Good date with Barry?"

"Shush, why aren't you in bed it's like 11 and a school night?"

"Uh, because I wanted to see you when you got back from your date and there is no school tomorrow. Teacher inservice." I say looking at him.

"Peyton, go to bed." Oliver demands pointing the way to my room.

"Not until you admit you had a date with Barry Allen." I look at him.

"Fine we had a nice date. Okay, now go to bed." He says pulling me up from the couch and shoving me towards my door.

"Fine. But we are talking in length in the morning."

"No we won't. I'm your father and what I say goes. Now bed." I grumble and go to sleep in my room.

The next morning Oliver wouldn't talk about his date with Barry. Thea was still gone and Felicity was looking for her. I could tell that over the next few weeks that Oliver and Barry are completely and utterly dating. Oliver is happier and smiling a little more but can still be an asshole. We went to Central City and helped Barry who turned out to be the Flash. Oliver shot Barry in the back with arrows.

Barry got whammied and Oliver helped snap him out of it. I stayed with Felicity and Diggle for that night, Oliver and Barry went out on a date and I have no idea what they did. And I don't want to know.
