Oliver hovered on the fringes of the lab, frowning at the bright green figure across the room. Most
people would dismiss it as Oliver's default expression but Cisco had caught how it deepened
considerably when Thea had gleefully dragged their interdimensional guest in from the breach
room. The newcomer luckily didn't seem to notice Oliver's expression or mood though. After
giving his doppelganger a surprise bear hug, the very-Green Arrow had set to becoming fast
friends with his alterverse sister. The two were sitting, thick as thieves at Cisco's desk. Thea was
wearing his feathered cap and they were currently looking at pictures from Green Arrow's world's
Instagram equivalent.

Cisco meandered over to his own world's archer and mirrored his crossed armed stance. "It's the
goatee isn't it?" Cisco asked.

"What?" Oliver asked, turning towards Cisco without uncrossing his arms.

"Are you jealous of the goatee? I know I am. Though it would probably make me look like a Bond
villain."

"I am not jealous of his facial hair," Oliver said in a tone that told Cisco he should drop it.
Normally Cisco would, he wasn't ashamed to admit that the archer could be terrifying. But with
another Arrow across the room and Canary somewhere in the building (getting a tour from H.R.
 and Iris) Cisco was feeling brave enough to risk it.

"Is it the costume than?" Cisco asked as Oliver pointedly did not look at him. "He's got a nice
Robin Hood thing going on but you've got that too. You're just more Russell Crowe to his Cary
Elwes."

Oliver's face crinkled in confusion. "Russell Crowe?"

"Oh, you might of missed that one. Did no one catch you up on Robin Hood when you started
shooting the rich? Nevermind," Cisco added at Oliver's exasperated look. "My point was that
you've both got your theme. But if it really bothers you I can hook you up. I've got some great
textiles in the works that I can dye whatever obnoxious green you want."

Oliver was back to refusing to meet Cisco's eyes but there was a look on his face that Cisco
couldn't read. It could have been longing...or frustration.

"And you remember where the magic happens." H.R. said, leading Canary back into the room and
gesturing grandly with his drumstick. Just like he had when he had begun the tour. Iris, bringing up
the rear, looked amused instead of annoyed so H. R. must've kept the pomp dialed down.

As the group began to draw together across the room Oliver stepped forward to join them. But first
he did a quick turn to face Cisco. "Maybe just the hat," he whispered and turned again, crossing the
room and receiving a friendly clap on the arm from the larger archer.

End Notes

The single thing that could make me momentarily care about Arrow anymore would be the
feathered cap. It is all I want.
