(9)What ARE You Actually Doing Here?

"I'm just about tired as a marathon runner." Hope exasperated plopping on her couch.

Roy laughed and sat next to her. "Is it because we just ran through the city?" He asked sliding off his mask.

"Oh probably." She laughed as well.

That was the first time Hope had let anyone in her apartment, but it was just her and Roy.

"I'm going to order a pizza, want some?" She offered getting out her phone.

Roy nods. "Hey, how do you have money or a phone?" He asked.

Hope bit her lip. "Let me order first, then maybe I'll talk." She negotiated and ordered pizza.

The pizza came and Hope sat down taking a slice.

"I feel like if Oliver found out we were eating pizza after the run he'd kill us." Hope laughed.

Roy laughed along too. "I don't know but I haven't had pizza in a lo-o-o-ong time."

Hope looked at him shocked then said with a dead serious expression, "Pizza is heaven."

After an hour of laughing at memories and eating pizza there was silence. Hope was trying to avoid the topic of her past life.

"So do you steal money?" Roy interrogated.

"What?" Hope snapped.

"You don't have a job, so I just assumed you steal money."

She sighed. "No, Roy, I do not steal money. I've said it before, I've had my fair share of foster parents. The last family I was at was an older couple they gave me some." Hope said not wanting him to ask anymore questions, but she was wrong.

"So they gave you money...was this in Starling or did you move here?"

"Roy-" She started. She was going to tell him to back off but his phone rang.

"Saved by the bell." She whispered to herself as he answered.

"Felicity slow down-what? Okay-yup-yeah I'll give her a ride...wh-b-bye?"

"What was that about?" Hope tilted her head.

"Another mission," Roy explained. "Actually there's been a breakout at the police station, but don't think this conversation is over." He demanded.

Hope put her hands up in defeat.

Then they set out for the police station.

He thinks I'm a thief. Hope thought to herself. I don't know how to tell him the truth though, he has his mind set and if thinks or sees me doing something wrong, he'll take me down. Hope shivered.

"You alright?" Roy asked. He tried to look at her but she was behind him on his bike. This is always like this. Hope didn't have a bike. She could feel him glaring though.

"Yeah." she lied. She knew he thought she wasn't what she gave off.

Once getting to the scene. Hope jumped off and before Roy could even get off, a guy attacked her. With a round kick him, the guy fell to the ground unconscious.

"We'll work on that." She heard Oliver before she can saw him.

She shrugged. "I thought I did pretty well....did you take care of the others?"

"Actually, you two are late, but I was just about to start questioning them." Oliver explained.

"On what-sorry, Red didn't fill me in at all." Hope glared at Roy.

Oliver looked at the two confused, but before anything could be said a needle was thrown at the three. Whatever was in it made them  hallucinate.
