Uninvited Guests with chloeas
The sound of loud knocking stirred him from his relatively peaceful slumber--something he didn't tend to get a lot of these days. Between long hours at Queen Industries and his nightly patrols as Green Arrow, he was lucky if he managed to get five solid hours of sleep. And most of the time those hours weren't spent in a peaceful resting state. Nightmares plagued him on a fairly regular basis. Everything from being unable to stop a mugging to memories of the day his parents' plane had crashed into the Atlantic swam in his head.
But this night, he'd been dreaming of a successful mission, of a pretty blonde's smile, and a rather revealing game of strip poker that he was quite enjoying until the noise awakened him.
Squinting in the darkness, he raised his head off the pillow, already hearing light footfall from the hallway that led to Chloe's bedroom. Apparently the noise had woke her, as well. Rubbing a hand over his face, he sat up slowly, wondering who the hell was knocking at 3 a.m.
