Thea and Helena were out for date night, enjoying a nice night off, especially since Helena had recently graduated from law school and was already busy at work as the newest associate at Lance and Gamble Legal Services, so she was busy a lot and Thea was busy finishing up her studies on her Phd, so they were both very busy, especially with their night jobs, which was actually the only time together they got and it was almost always with the rest of Team Arrow, so it was understandably putting some strain on their relationship, so Oliver had insisted that they take the night off from being vigilantes and focus on their relationship and they were glad he had.
"This was really fun. I'm glad your brother convinced us to do this." Helena said and Thea smiled.
"I know. It's been forever since we had a night out together. And I think that if we want our relationship to be like what your parents have or what Oliver and Laurel have, we need to do this more often." Thea said.
"Agreed. Though my mom did retire her mask after Damien was born and I don't think either of us wants to do that." Helena said and Thea nodded.
"Agreed. I just mean that we need to find time to keep the spark alive." Thea said and Helena couldn't help but smile as she reached into her pocket.
"Well, I have an idea about how we can do that." Helena said.
"How?" Thea asked, only to be shocked as Helena got down on one knee and pulled out a ring.
"Helena." Thea said, covering her mouth in shock at seeing her girlfriend on one knee.
"Thea Dearden Queen. You are the perfect woman for me and the only person I could ever see myself spending the rest of my life with. You know my past and not only accept it, but you embraced it. I love you more than anyone else in the world. And I can't go any longer without asking if you'll make me the happiest woman on Earth and say you'll be my wife." Helena said and Thea smiled as she cried tears of joy as she just nodded until her voice returned.
"Yes. Yes, I will marry you." Thea said with a smile as she let Helena slide the ring onto her finger before she got up and kissed her.
"This ring is so beautiful." Thea said after they separated and she took a look at her new ring.
"It was my grandma Martha's. In fact, the way my parents met was that my mom was trying to steal it from my dad." Helena said.
"At least it wasn't the pearl necklace." Thea said.
"Oh no, she tried to steal that too." Helena said with a chuckle.
"Still, it's beautiful. Are you sure your parents are okay with you giving it to me?" Thea asked.
"Dad practically insisted on it when I told them I was doing this. And yes, I talked to your mom and brother too and they both gave their blessing." Helena said.
"Good. Not that I need it." Thea said and Helena nodded.
"I know. Just like how I know that you were planning to propose to me soon too." Helena said knowingly.
"Busted. But it was worth you beating me to it. But come on, let's go home, we have a wedding to start planning." Thea said and Helena nodded.
However, before they head for the car, Helena shoved her fiance to the ground just in time to prevent her from being hit by a shuriken.
"What the hell?" Thea asked as Helena helped her up.
"Well, well, it isn't Huntress and the Red Arrow in their natural environment." China White said with a grin as she and Bronze Tiger walked out of the shadows.
"What?" Thea asked, wondering how these crooks knew who they were.
"Prometheus sends his regards." Bronze Tiger said, which pretty much answered that question.
"Where is he hiding?" Thea asked of her half brother, though she and Helena were both grateful that Oliver had used his league connections to make their suits portable in the form of charm bracelets.
"He'll surface when he's ready. But for now, it's time for you two to die. Apologies you won't get the chance to walk down the aisle." China White said as she lunged at Helena, who quickly activated her Huntress gear, just in time to counter White's said with her bo staff while Thea suited up as Red Arrow and aimed arrows at Bronze Tiger.
"Nothing personal, kid. Just business." Bronze Tiger said.
"Too bad, because it feels kind of personal." Red Arrow said as she fired her arrows at Tiger, who swatted them aside with his claws.
"Not for me it's not." Bronze Tiger said as they fought.
