( people didn't check in with him, not about his wellbeing. that's also weird, but it's not a bad feeling. it warms his cheeks. )
Breakfast and lunch. I'll get around to dinner.
So, it's like Felicity. Anyone could be from any timeline. We're lucky you and I are not only from the same one, but from the same point. Which is weird since I was also brought back from another one.
( william has room service, which means oliver doesn't need to worry. )
I don't think any one of us understands how or why they snatch us from one point and not another. I try not to think about it. Why just the two of us? Why not everyone that was with us? It raises more questions than answers. ( no, he doesn't want mia, anatoly, and laurel here. he wouldn't wish servitude on anyone. ) But you're right, we are lucky to have the time and that we don't have to waste it explaining ourselves.
Probably. Maybe. Dominants have room service and there's take-out. Think they have whatever passes for Belly Burger?
Yeah, we've already made some headway. Ground.
( They're not starting from scratch. That's really something. )
It's possible whatever grabs us, they grab onto our cellular structure. You and Felicity, you were already here. It recognizes yours. You'd think they'd get Mia since she's both of you. Or, both me and her because moving through time affected ours. As much as I think there has to be an explanation, what if there isn't really. What if it's all random.
I think if they don't have a decent burger joint, we're burning this place down.
( everything else? not that high of an offense, obviously. )
Or Thea and anyone else in our family tree, dead or living. That's a family reunion I'm not ready to have. ( it would mean donna, quentin by extension of laurel, anyone related to ray palmer and yeah, even caitlin's family. ) Before, I would've said that the pattern was serving for crimes committed. ( he may not be the anti-christ himself, yet oliver has plenty of blood on his hands to atone for. felicity, although he casts no judgments upon her, might say the same. ) It's not wrong place, wrong time. Accidents don't happen more than once.
You'll at least have Felicity and me in your ear after to escape any SIN guards. In theory.
Dad, you served your time. Literally. If this was about crimes committed, then we'd all be taken. From every timeline, probably. This is something else dressed up in experimentation into the capacity for deceit.
I know. ( a part of him does not. ) This isn't about guilty or innocent. It's bad luck that the three of us were picked for a social experiment. Every single person has the capacity to lie, moreso with the proper motivation. ( shh, that's what he's calling it. they will not discuss kinks or sex. )
Do you think family night is asking for too much here?
( never. your son could also cook for the both of you. more than eggs you'll burn yourself with this time, too. his portions might be off because he's used to cooking for himself, but he'd mean well and it would be made with love. )
( he wouldn’t be opposed to a father-son team up in the kitchen. the domesticity is not what oliver thought he would be looking forward to when he found out about william. it’s everything. )

I think you would let me say yes. And I don't want to say yes.

You want to learn to fight?

Mia wanted me to.

But I'm on board. There's a training gym here.
no subject
Yeah? I'm on board, too. Remake me in your own image, father.
... Yeah, that was a little too sycophantic SciFi son. I take it back.
no subject
How about we just add to the pre-existing image? Improve on that. Less scifi, more modern.
And I won't run you through endless drills designed to make you ring a bill.
