Watching Eye's

First meetings

Oliver eyed the new comers as they approached. He had never seen them around town before and he didn't like them being so close to his friends and family. His face became dark and he glared at them the whole time. It wasn't the mayor standing there anymore, it was the arrow and he was in protection mode.

Felicity nudged him and said in a strict tone "your mayor Oliver, you can't be disrespectful to people and right now that face your making is very disrespectful". Oliver nodded and Laurel couldn't help but laugh. Felicity flashed Laurel her award winning smile and held onto Olivers arm to keep a hold on him.

Mick and Leonard were not so easily persuaded as Oliver was. They had     strategically placed Laurel in between them with Mick slightly in front of her. Sara was glad Nyssa wasn't like them or Oliver. Nyssa might not have been physically holding onto Sara but her her eyes showed everything she didn't need to say.

Grace rolled her eyes. "Which one of you is Laurel Lance" Grace said letting agitation take over. Everyone looked at her but stayed silent. Slink gently stroked her arm. "I'm sorry about my wife, she sometimes allows her emotions to overcome her. My name is Julian Slink and we are here to discuss some private matters with your beautiful district attorney." Slink said with a smile.

Without a word and barely any movement, Mick positioned himself between Slink and Laurel. Leonard had one hand resting on top of his freeze ray. Arthur and Christopher just sat back and kept quiet. They knew when Slink and Grace were in this mode, one wrong word or misstep could set them off.

Oliver cleared his throat. "I am mayor Oliver Queen and tonight is all about revel. Any business should be taken care of during work hours at city hall and with an appointment. And let me make myself clear, if something has to do with a close friend, it all of a sudden becomes my business so feel free to stop by" Oliver said knocking Julian's hat off of his head. And there was one wrong word and one really wrong movement.

Julian's right eye twitched slightly and a strange twitch came to his arm. His smile sent chills up everyone's spine and his hand nonchalantly reached for the small knife on his hip. It was Grace's turn to grab Julian's arm. "Now, now there's time for that later, right now let's focus on finding about Karma". 

Julian relaxed and his face turned from that of a possessed being to a slightly less possessed being. But he had noticed something. The tall woman with the black hair had twitched slightly when she heard Karma's name. He also noticed Laurel's reaction as well. Her's was more curiosity while the other was almost fear. Slink liked his lips and thought to himself this was going to be much funner than he expected.

Laurel gently moved Mick aside and said "you're the girl that was in my dream". "No, you were in mine" Grace said more confused then ever. This made Slink even more excited. "Ladies, obviously you were in each other's dreams and we must find out why" Slink said with a mischievous grin that told Grace he knew a little more than he was letting on.

Slink tipped his hat to her. "This party is a snore fest mister mayor, may I have a go at making it a bit more lively?" Slink asked smiling, Oliver raised an eyebrow but he noticed that people didn't seem to be having that much fun. He sighed and nodded before Grace, christopher or Arthur could say anything. Slink smiled and said "you won't regret it mister mayor" and headed off.

Grace huffed and said "don't blame us when you see what he has planned. Welcome to a Slink Mayhem Party". Oliver felt a shiver go up his spine and his face went pale when he saw a bus come in that had the words "suck bus" on it.

On the other side of the party

Damien Darhk wondered through the festival goers smiling the whole time. His plan was near fruition and no one could stop him, even if anyone knew about it. All of a sudden he ran into something that turned out to be a someone.

"Sorry, didn't see you there" Damien said with a smile. The older gentleman smiled and said "no need to apologize, I'm actually here to talk to you. My name is Heart and I would love to acquire you for a job". Damien smiled and nodded just as they heard "ladies and gentleman".
