10:38 am - Get out. Now. (GK)
It had to happen. They'd pissed off too many people, tried too hard to bring some justice to the Triangle. Zoe thought they were making progress, but it was a losing game. With her last breath she would damn the heroes for leaving the poor in the Triangle to the mercy of gangs. She'd damn Green Arrow the most.

And now, maybe Deadshot for giving them hope to begin with.

Barricaded in an empty tenement, Zoe reloaded her wrist-mounted guns as she gazed at GK across from her, then reloaded her 9mm. Any movement or sound from them brought a rain of gunfire from the gang outside waiting to pick them off. There would be no rescue, none that she could see happening. One of them might make it out, if she provided GK the cover to get away.

She handed him the 9mm. "Get ready to run."

"You see, the problem with that plan is that I'm not getting the impression that you're coming."

"I will," she lied smoothly, a hint of a glare that he was being difficult about it. She continued to the gun out for him. "I'll cover you so you can get out. Then I'll follow."

He reaches to take the gun gingerly. It's not that he doesn't know how to shoot; you don't miss learning that when you're best friends with Zoe for this long. It's that his naivete only goes so far.

"Okay. And if something goes wrong with that... what do you want me to tell your mom?"

"/If/ something goes wrong, tell her I'm sorry I didn't go to law school like she wanted." She closed her eyes. "Look, someone has to get out and make sure everyone's taken care of. That's you. I'll do my damnedest to make it out, I will."

Another breath, and frowning, he takes the gun and makes sure it's ready. "Okay. I will. Because it's practical, and... okay. I... absolutely nothing new meant by it, but I love you, Zoe."

She was relieved he wouldn't argue over it, so much that her shoulders sagged in a momentary show of weakness.

She recovered fast and flicked her wrists so the mounted pistols extended into her open palms. The words didn't come as easily to her as they did to him. She loved him like family, she'd do anything to protect him, and her entire being radiated it if he looked.

"When I move, you go the opposite direction and don't look back. Don't do it. I'll meet up with you when I get clear here."

He did look enough to see it -- especially since it might be his last look if he was going to try to follow her instructions. "...Got it." A small, Just Because. "Be seeing you."

"Yeah, you will."

Zoe nodded and rolled to start setting down cover for his escape.

And GK... follows directions. He moves when she does, and keeps moving. He uses the gun where necessary and just ... goes, knowing Zoe's handling what she's handling, so there's nothing he can do about what's behind him.
