章節 53: Arrow ~ We Fall ~ Part One
***
Kara's head shot up from where she was in the bedroom pinning her hair back when she heard the clatter of an aluminum can hitting the floor. "Bull's-eye!" William cheered a second later.
"Indeed it was, young man," Oliver complimented, though Kara had to giggle at the exasperated tone he had. "Try again, please."
"OK," William nodded, and Kara leaned back to see out the door, and she watched William take aim at another can. Sure enough, his next shot hit the can again. "Yes!" he whooped. "Ha!"
Oliver sighed and took his own shot at one of the cans, except his went way high. Kara let out a high-pitched giggle, quickly clapping a hand over her mouth. William didn't bother hiding his laughter. "These things are," Oliver began to complain, looking down at the neon green toy bows he and William had before shaking his head. "You win.
"Well, you must be out of practice since you quit being the Green Arrow," William joked.
"That must be it, yeah," Oliver smiled tensely.
"Hey, William!" Kara hurried out of the bedroom, smiling at him. "Ready for your field trip?" "Yeah," William nodded.
"It's the Coastal Biology Center, right?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah," William nodded, digging through his backpack as Kara leaned on the back of the couch. "There's a prep sheet for the trip, and I tried one of the extra credits. Hold on . . . " He pulled the sheet out, taking a quick look at it. "Will you take a look at it?"
"Yeah, of course," Oliver nodded.
"I meant Kara," William smiled sheepishly.
Kara giggled again as Oliver rolled his eyes fondly. "Sure you did. Yep."
"I'm sorry," William apologized as Kara took the paper, looking over the problem William pointed out. "It's a math problem about hyperbolic geometry in marine organisms like coral."
"I know what coral is, but that's OK," Oliver smirked.
"Whoa," Kara's eyes widened. "You're getting asked this
"Yeah," William said nervously. "Why?"
"Because high-dimensional math problems like these are usually in 12th grade AP," Kara answered, surprised, looking up with a wide grin on her face. "William, this is
William grinned triumphantly. "Well, congratulations," Oliver smiled at William, walking over. "Take your Flash backpack and don't miss your bus, all right?" "OK," William smiled, putting his paper back in his backpack.
"That's fine," Oliver gave him a playful push towards the door. "Get out of here. Go learn something." When William was out the door, Oliver turned back around, only to see Kara looking around and biting down very hard on her lip. "I know what coral is," he insisted.
Kara burst out into hysterics, and Oliver growled playfully, grabbing her by the arm and yanking her to him. She yelped, but laughed as Oliver wrapped her arms around her waist, hugging her back to him. "All right, all right, I believe you," she giggled.
"Good," Oliver grinned, giving her a quick squeeze before letting her turn around. "Good morning."
"Morning," she smiled, reaching up and kissing him. "So you and William were having some fun."
"I hate those things," he grumbled, giving the toy boys a nasty glare.
Kara giggled again, leaning her head on his arm. "You're good with him, though."
"So are you," he smiled. "Really good."
"My aunt Astra told me something before she was sent to Fort Rozz," Kara smiled, picking at the back of the couch. "I'll modify it slightly. I couldn't love a child more unless Rao grants me one of my own." She blinked rapidly, then started babbling. "Not that I'm implying anything right now, that just reminded my of my aunt – "
"Kara," Oliver laughed at her flustered face, though he had to admit, the thought of having a child with Kara had made his heart skip a beat, too. "I think we have a lot to figure out before we think about another kid."
"Right," Kara nodded, chuckling nervously. "Whole different universes thing among those things."
Any further awkwardness was spared when Kara's phone rang. She picked it up, checking the Caller ID, then frowned. "Brainy," she mumbled, answering. "Hello?"
"Breaking news," the Coluan didn't let her say anything else, but she quickly put the phone on speaker. "A Councilman Grovner is dead."
"What?" Oliver's eyes widened.
"So are six people in the hospital and five more electrocuted by an elevator," Querl continued.
"In an elevator?" Oliver blinked.
an elevator," Querl corrected.
"What?" Oliver repeated.
"That doesn't make any sense," Kara frowned.
Oliver snatched his phone from the table when it rang, answering it. "Yeah, Quentin?"
"Hold that, Brainy," Kara took her phone off speaker.
"We got a problem," Quentin said as Oliver put his on speaker. "An elevator – "
"Electrocuted five people," Oliver cut in.
"Yeah, how do you know?"
"I just know," Oliver said dryly. "Look, grab Thea, and I will meet you at the SCPD, OK?"
"Oliver," Quentin interrupted. "One of the casualties . . . it's Frank Pike."
"Oh," Oliver sighed, closing his eyes. "I will see you soon." He hung up, looking at Kara, who had horror in her eyes. "Can you go to the bunker?" he asked her. "Can you, Brainy, and Felicity find out what's going on, please?"
Kara nodded, reaching up and giving him a kiss. "Be careful," she whispered.
"I will," Oliver nodded, grabbing his suit jacket and heading for the door.
Kara watched him go as she chewed her lip nervously, then put her phone back to her ear. "Brainy, I'm on my way," she said. "Tell the others they may need to be on standby."

"Impressive," Querl blinked, watching Dig work out. "The nerve damage must have really hindered you."
