bossymarmalade: dysfunctional family meal in boogie nights (too many things too many things)

He was glad him and Cassie had already gotten the Tower up and running a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot more of a pain then you’d think, which he figured was probably why Vic had always dealt with that sort of stuff. All he had to do now was make sure the zeta tubes were up and running before he made his way into the meeting room to wait for everyone else. He wasn’t one to really go along with first impressions but, first meetings were kind of important. It was just a good way to gage how everyone got along with each other, and considering while they had all been on the Titans before, and had all, with the exception of Mar’i, had been on a team together in some combination. Never exactly as they were now.

Gar flopped himself down in one of the seats and leaned back waiting for the others. This could be interesting, there were only a few things to go over and he didn’t think there were any overly large egos (aside from Zach) that would really make things not go smoothly. But as long as there were no all out fist fights it would be a win in his book. And that’d probably make them one of the more functional Titans teams that had ever existed.

Bai delighted in bucking the family trend of arriving places late (most people assumed that when her grandpa or Wally showed up late, it was hilarious irony or adorable scatterbrains, but as a fellow speedster? Bai knew well and good that it was Speed Force arrogance at its sharpest) and zoomed up outside of Titans Tower with a long, impressed whistle.

“Looks good as new,” she announced to Gar once she got inside, collapsing in a long-limbed heap on the floor and stretching out in all different directions. “Are we rilly gonna use here asourHQagain? I mean considering all the things that’ve happened here over the years I kinda feel like it might be—” Bai looked around, eyes enormous, before whispering, “—cursed.”

Cassie couldn’t help but laugh as she walked in the moment Bai suggested the place might be cursed. “Spooky.” She said giving the other girl a quick hug, because she hadn’t actually seen Bai in a long time. ”How are you doing?” The blonde asked happily and set the platter of cheese and crackers she brought along down. She knew Mia said she’d handle snacks but it was always good to bring more with this crowed. Hell, Bai alone could finish off her snacks before the rest of the group even got here. So, it wouldn’t hurt.

Mia groaned and flopped onto her back on her bed. She was sooo bored. So bored. There was nothing to do. They were leaving for Vacation soon so no one was really doing anything. Maybe it didn’t help that it was almost past midnight. Usually at that time she’d be out fighting the good fight or something. But she still had broken ribs. Ollie was still hurt. So Connor made sure neither of them went out to fight any sort of fight. It sucked.

She sighed wistfully and picked up her phone that was laying beside her scrolling through her contacts to see who she could bother. Of course Gar would be the best pick right now because he was always fun to bother. And he cooped himself up in his apartment writing, how boring was that.

Might as well liven things up. So she sent him a text.

A scream spills from a Metropolis alleyway. Police cordoned off the area. Investigators find the headless corpse of a young female. The body is nearly bloodless, indicating the murder took place somewhere else. The decapitating cut is jagged and rough. At least four distict sets of footprints, heavy and male, surround the body. The alley wall has a spray painted message: (Long Live the “Queen”! - E.C.) The victim’s fingerprints reveal her name: Mia Queen, a 16 year old runaway from Bludhaven.

Superman is grim and silent as he surveys the decapitated body. His penetrative vision looks past the lifeless flesh of the young girl, isolates the fractured bones beneath her skin and the blood under her fingernails. She put up a struggle. She fought for her life, and she lost.

Studying her vocal cords confirms to Clark that the scream he heard wasn’t issued by Mia Queen. Hers are too short, too tight for that resonant blast that broke the still night, and the feeling behind it had been all wrong. Years of listening had made Clark sensitive to the distinctions between human bellows, between the enraged yell of a domestic dispute, the amused shriek of a startling prank, or the wail of someone who truly needed his help. The cry that brought him down from the sky tonight was full of horror, but low with repulsion: an observer who happened to discover the body.

The strangled scream of someone struggling to stave off death was something that couldn’t be faked well enough to fool Superman anymore. She wasn’t killed on the streets of Metropolis, or he would have heard the unmistakable cry.

“Mia Queen,” he murmurs as he reviews the victim identification report. He thinks at once of Oliver and his daughter Mia. Was someone trying to send them a message? Someone who knew their secret identities? E.C. Clark ponders the initials for a moment, but they don’t ring any bells.

It serves Superman well in this moment to be trusted by the Metropolis police department. They agree without reservation to supply him with a copy of their case file. Clark returns home to scan and forward the contents of the file to Batman, and to alert Oliver of the victim’s name in a separate e-mail. “It may be a coincidence,” he concludes each correspondence, “but in our line of work, it rarely is.”




Found on a fence pike outside the Hawaii State Capitol Building in Honolulu is a human female head. The head is adorned with a green, metallic crown made of arrow heads welded together. The head’s mouth is sewn shut. Inside the mouth is a note which reads: (Long Live the “Queen”! – E.C.) Analysis of the head will reveal it to belong to Mia Queen, a runaway from Bludhaven whose murdered body was recently found in Metropolis.

So, the first time he had visited Mia hadn’t exactly gone to plan. But then the plan had been just to meet her puppy. There had been no plans of the making out that had followed. And definitely no plans of getting caught making out by Green Arrow. That was not on the agenda. It took a few days and texts for Mia to convince Gar to come back over and said as long as they were confined to her room it’d be gravy.

She also said just come to her window and he kind of felt like she was sneaking him into the house. And god this was probably… so wrong of him. So very very wrong. But… sure. He couldn’t say no to a cute blonde. And hey, he had the ability to fly all the way up to her room and tap on her window as a little green sparrow. So why not? Gar waited on the window ledge waiting for her to let him inside.

She didn’t know what Gar’s problem was. It wasn’t like Ollie was going to come and attack him… well, ok. So maybe it may have seemed that way. The whole first impression thing. Not exactly first impression since she knew they knew each other before. But first impression for making out with his daughter… Whatever. It didn’t matter. Ollie didn’t care. Well, maybe he cared but she liked to think he trusted her enough to not do anything stupid.

Mia looked over at the window when there was a tapping and opened her window letting the green bird fly inside. “Hey!” The blonde greeted Gar. “Hah. Kinda didn’t think you’d show. But it’s good to see you.”

He flew into her window and changed into his regular for before turning and grinning at Mia. “C’mon.” He said laughing slightly. “You really didn’t think I’d show? You don’t know me at all.” Alright so he thought about not showing up, but he wasn’t going to stand Mia up. That’d be just rude. Instead he nodded his head. “It’s good to see you too.” He said honestly. “Was there a particular reason you invited me over, or were you just missing my handsome face?”

Mia laughed and shrugged her shoulders. “Maybe both reasons.” She said lightly and stepped closer to Gar pulling him towards her bed and sitting down. “I wanted you to know that Ollie isn’t like… mad at you. You know, for seeing you and me together. But he did say you should watch out if you ever do anything bad to me.” She smirked slightly and leaned closer to him. “And he said we could makeout all we want as long as it stayed in my bedroom.” Mia added pressing her lips to his and laughing slightly in the back of her throat.

Gar let her lean into him and pull him towards the bed sitting next to her. He reached out as he listened to her brushing her fingers across her arm almost fascinated by how soft most of her skin was in contrast to the callouses on her hands. He glanced up into her eyes and smiled slightly as she leaned into him and pressed her lips to his. He laughed with her and pulled back slightly. “Happy I get a say in all of this.” He murmured before leaning back in. He really didn’t need a say. Because who would argue with this.

Well anyone with any sort of morals who knew getting caught making out with a seventeen year old girl was illegal when you were over four years older. Which he was. But oh well.

Mia grinned and nodded her head. “What?” She said between kisses. “Are you gonna turn me down?” He very well could. Then she’d feel like a little bit of an idiot but oh well. But he was kissing her back and not turning her down so that made her feel better. She squirmed against him slightly as his fingers moved along her arm and reached up to the back of his neck pulling him closer and deepening the kiss.

He laughed at her question and kissed her back, hard almost like he was trying to prove he totally wasn’t going to turn her down. It was already too late for that wasn’t it? He was in her room. Might as well, right? His hand moved from her arm to her waist. Feeling her hands on the back of his neck tugging him closer and deepening the kiss made him let out a content sort of sigh running his tongue along her bottom lip before nipping at it softly.

Mia let her eyes slide close when he bit down on her bottom lip softly. God. It was weird, kissing. It had been a while and Gar was good at it, shit… She shifted on the bed her knees bumping against his as she intertwined her leg with his. Her tongue ventured into his mouth her hand slide down along his shoulder and brushing down along his chest softly.

Gar let her intertwine their legs together and moved slightly one of his hands sliding down to the small of her back pulling her onto his lap as their tongues clashed. His other hand moved to her knee sliding his fingers slowly along the soft skin of her leg before pausing because… this wasn’t going to go furthur then this. Right? Right… Yes. It wasn’t going to. He had to keep reminding himself she was seventeen. It couldn’t…

She let Gar guide her into his lap and grabbed his shoulders holding him securely in place, like there was any chance of him moving. Mia let out a small breathy sort of sigh when he brushed his fingers along her knee and across her thigh before stopping. Which was good. Because… Reasons. Instead she pushed him backward on the bed and leaned over him biting down on his bottom lip.

Gar groaned lightly when she pushed him onto his back and reached up linking his arms around her waist tightly pulling her closer. “Mia..” He said as she bit down on his bottom lip making him grunt. Fuck. He opened his eyes and gazed up at her for a moment blinking the fuzziness away. “Wait.” He said loosening his grip on her and letting her pull away slightly. “What exactly… should I be expecting to happen here?” Who had time for subtlety, right?

She pulled away and blinked at him for a moment at his question. That… Mia pulled away more and rolled off him sitting on her bed frowning. “I… don’t know?” She wasn’t scared of having sex. She wasn’t. Well, not that she had sex since Ollie had found her or anything so she didn’t know if she could know. But it was a lot more complicated for her. There felt like there was so much planning that needed to be involved. “Not sex…” She said and shrugged her shoulders. “It’s… complicated. And…” Too soon… But she didn’t say that because that came out of no where. An almost panicked look came over her face and she seemed to scoot away from Gar for a moment.

He tilted his head slightly as she spoke and sat up furrowing his eyebrows at her. “Wait.” He said frowning. She obviously wasn’t ok with this. Well, maybe making out but not further and that was totally fine with him. Actually it took a lot off his mind. But there was something else bothering her, he could tell. “Are you ok?” He asked reaching over and grabbing her hand lightly. “You don’t have to talk to me if you don’t want to. But if you do… I’m totally here to listen. I don’t just want to make out with you…”

Mia nodded her head and looked over at him. “Yeah, I’m ok.” She wasn’t not ok. It was just… She took a breath and shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know. It’s just… after the nanobots thing.” She bit down on her bottom lip and put her hands in her lap, her shoulders hunched slightly as she looked down at here Gar was holding her. “I mean, it’s like, I thought I was over all this stuff that happened to me and like… It just reopened all these old wounds. I don’t know.” She looked up at Gar. “Sorry…”

He frowned and rubbed her back slowly as she spoke. “Don’t be sorry.” He had no idea what she was talking about, he didn’t know what happened with the nanobots. But obviously it upset her. “We don’t have to rush into anything. We can keep it legal.” He reached up and brushed his fingers across her cheek before pulling her into another kiss, though it wasn’t as… heated as the others were and pulled away. “I don’t really care, honestly. We can do whatever you want to do.”

Mia smiled faintly over at Gar and nodded her head. “Ok.” She said and paused for a moment biting down on her bottom lip. “So, I guess we’re done? I mean I’m not really in the mood anymore.” She didn’t know what to do now. She’d never really been in this type of situation before. It was kind of ridiculous actually. “You don’t have to leave though.” She added and smiled wider before laying down and pulling Gar with her. “You can stay here tonight. If you want to.”

He grinned at her and nodded his head leaning in and kissing her softly. “I guess we’re done.” He agreed because to be honest he found nothing enticing about a girl being as scared as Mia was and didn’t want to go farther, at least maybe not yet. Not until she wanted to. Gar let her pull him down onto the bed with her and wrapped his arms around her tightly. “It doesn’t seem like I have much of a choice.” He murmered into her ear and kissed her neck. “I’ll stay here tonight…”

Gar had never been to Mia’s house before, the Archer house. It wasn’t like they had it when Roy was younger, and he always hung out at the Tower anyway. But he was all for it, and seeing her new puppy was always a plus. Not more of a plus then spending time with Speedy though. Alright so she wasn’t around and couldn’t hear his thoughts so he knew he didn’t have to lay it on that thick, but he really did like hanging out with her. Mia was fun, who didn’t like spending time with her?

He flew to the house before, because it was really just quicker that way, before turning from an eagle to his regular form and knocking on the front door.

Mia sat on the floor of the living room playing with her dog. Who didn’t have a name yet but she was thinking on it. It didn’t really matter because she was just so damn cute. Mia tossed the plush squeaky toy across the floor and watched her chase after it then come back shaking it in her mouth and chewing on it making it squeak. She bushed back her bangs and leaned over kissing the puppy on her head. “You’re so cute!” She said petting her.

Looking across the floor as the door bell rang Mia popped up off the floor and headed over to the door opening it and grinning at Gar. “Hey!” She said and opened the door wider for him to come in watching the puppy dash out the door. “No! Wait!” Mia called running after her.
