They Teach You...

Oliver Queen: The Salmon Ladder. The famous exercise that Oliver seems to do effortlessly. You have watched him do it so many times that you often wondered how he did it. He offered to teach you. You were not the strongest person in the world, but you could handle anything. Oliver told you to start with simple chin-ups, except you have to swing your body forward. It took you a while to have the concept down packed, but Oliver always assured you. 

Felicity Smoak: How to Hack. Hacking was second nature for Felicity and you always thought it was cute when she got excited to hack. Being Overwatch was one of the favorite things in the world, besides you. Although you didn't have an IQ of 170, like Felicity, you could still pick up any instructions. Felicity taught you how to put in a program for the user. You moved pretty quickly from watching her all these years.

Thea Queen/Merlyn: Archery. Thea won multiple archery contests as a child, so she was naturally skilled. You loved watching her practice shooting with the tennis balls. You finally understood why they call her Speedy. Thea is able to shoot moving targets at an impeccable speed, which sparked your interest. She agreed to teach you if you showed her your Atmokenisis more often. You made a deal and you loved learning archery, despite Oliver's comments.

Laurel Lance: To Use a Baton. Laurel has shown that she a skilled fighter, many times than you liked. You wanted to feel the adrenaline rush that she feels when she fights. She was hesitant to fight you, but you trusted her. She trained you how to hold the baton, how to wield, how to swing them, ad how to strike an opponent. The two of you would spare and sometimes the team would watch, secretly voting for you.

John Diggle: How to Shoot a Gun. Being a former Master Sergeant of the US Army, Diggle was trained to fight, to endure, and the shoot a gun. You had an incident once and wanted to protect yourself. Diggle agreed to teach you how to use a handgun. Although you are a speedster, you still wanted to learn how to shoot someone. Just in case, you aren't fast enough. Diggle understood and began giving you lessons using mannequins and targets.

Tommy Merlyn: How to Party. Tommy was always the party guy. He went to parties, planned parties, and other things you didn't want to know. You were not a party person, like at all. You preferred to stay at home, by yourself. Tommy wouldn't allow that, especially since you guys are together. Tommy would try to take you to a party twice a week, but you would not wear a scandalous outfit. He taught you what a spiked drink smelt like and the type of people to avoid. He made sure to stay by your side at every party.

Curtis Holt: About the T-Spheres. It was no secret that Curtis was proud of his T-Spheres, even when the team didn't like the idea. You always praised him for following his dreams and wanted to know more about the Spheres. Curtis was ecstatic and started to ramble about the program and the design. You admired the way he could on forever about something he was passionate about. Curtis noticed that you would stare at him when he talked, but he didn't mind.

Roy Harper: How to Steal.  Before Roy became Arsenal, he was living in Glades. He had to find a way to live, so he stole from people. That's how you guys met. He promised not to steal from anyone, but you wanted to know the secret behind it. He was hesitant to show you, scared that you would become a thief. You slapped him, that was that. He quickly showed you what he wore, how to swipe, and how to run if you got caught.

Sara Lance: Different Languages. Traveling around the world, Sara picked up many languages, such as Mandarin, Arabic, and Tibetan. You loved hearing her speak different languages, especially if it's unintentional. Sara wanted to teach you because she loved your voice. Your lessons sometimes turned into other things, but you picked up on Mandarin pretty quickly.

Rene Ramirez: Martial Arts. Rene was constantly finding ways to impress you, even though you guys are together. You are Pyrokinetic, but you wanted to kick ass another way. You always admired the way Martial Arts was so fluent and clean, unlike your ability. Rene offered to spare with you to test your endurance. It didn't go how you thought it would. Rene would put you on your ass so many times, that your butt became numb. Eventually, you learned how to fight back and finally put Rene on his ass, which caught him off guard.

Dinah Drake: Crack a Safe. Your enhanced senses ruin a lot of things for you, but one thing they can be used for is sneaking around. Dinah was once working undercover in a safe-cracking gang, which shocked you no less. You immediately begged her to teach you and she didn't agree at first. After weeks of convincing her, she agreed and started you out by picking locks. You couldn't have been happier when you improved and upgraded to a safe. You learned pretty quickly, which surprised Dinah. 

Barry Allen: How to Sing. Barry was an expert at Karaoke. You learned that the hard way, but it was pretty funny. You don't have the worst voice, but Barry's voice was immaculate. You begged him to give you tips, even though he doesn't like to sing that much, we all know that's a lie. You and Barry would have karaoke sessions at your house, which led to many water breaks when Barry chose high pitched songs.

Ray Palmer: How to Cook. Much to your surprise, Ray was an excellent cook. A talent he kept secret from you. You demanded that he teach you how to make an omelet, something you always said was the devil. Ray wasn't enthusiastic about cooking in front of you, but you assured him that you wanted to learn from the best. The two of you became the Chefs of the Waverider, as the team enjoyed the many meals you two prepared for them.
