That's a bit ambitious. Isn't one the usual number?

It is. I feel very tired all the time.

Shouldn't doubt it. If you are going to try for two lives one after the other is easier to handle.

::slight smile:: If only I'd had the foresight to think of reincarnation.

Have we meet before? I'm Oliver Queen.

Reincarnation, regeneration, what ever.

Don't believe we have, mate. I'm Ace.

Pleasure to meet you Ace.

It probably wouldn't work out anyway. I kind of need one life to fuel the other anyhow.

One life to fuel the other? Reminds me of something th Professor says, about burning a candle at both ends. It's all well until you get to the middle.

Burning a candle at both ends ...

That most definitely seems like it would apply too.

Do you ever take a break?

Sometimes I get some time off of my job, but the nightlife never ends for me.

How it seems at times doesn't it Oliver?

It's a pretty busy day life that I lead, you throw in the night life on top of it and there's seems like no time for anything else ...

How it seems with me but I'm running a farm by myself. Part of me won't let it go because it was my dad's and i know mom is busy with her work and all.

Sometimes I feel like I need a vacation.

I know what you mean. I could take a vacation whenever I want, I just can't walk away when I know there's work to be done.

I might take one or more of a visit. To my cousin's.

You should visit them. While you have the chance. You never know when things will change to the point were you can't.

She understands me more then anyone, knows what I'm going through and can help me.

Ah its a cousin, not multiple cousins.

She does? Does she have some of the same ... gifts?

Well let's put it this way, she's a cousin by birth.

Interesting, I thought ... well, that you were the only one.

Have you always known her or met her only recently?

Just recently seeing as she was sent to watch over me but well...she kinda got stuck lol She's 17 but supposed to be older then me *snickers*

Seventeen yet older then you? ::forehead wrinkles in confusion, but says nothing::

Well, I would love to meet her if I should ever get the chance.

Well how we got here? She kinda got stuck inside hers suspended in time basically. I was an infant when sent here, she was older.

Ah. I see.

Where does she live? Does she live the double life as well?

Manhattan and I'm pretty sure she does. I spend more time just talking out my problems. I guess i should be more considerate and ask about her life.

Ah. Big city girl. I like her already.

I'm sure if she had something on her mind she would feel comfortable coming to you. You guys are family after all.

::slight smirk:: but ... your older cousins problems might be too mature for you to deal with.

I don't know. I'm supposed to teach her about dating. I'm not qualified for that.

Exactly why she and I should be introduced. I could teach her a lot more about dating then you could.

You stay away from my cousin Oliver.

::The smile fades::

Only because you asked nicely Clark.

Sorry. Family. Protective.

I suppose I'd understand If I had any left.

I have little left. I have my mom, and Kara now.

Besides I see you as almost like a brother.

I truly never knew you felt that way Clark.

I'm honored.

I don't tend to tell people a lot of things Oliver. I never had one so guess you are the closest to one.

I didn't have a brother either, perhaps if Mom and Dad hadn't left me so soon ...

At any rate you have all the qualities I would have liked in a younger brother Clark.

Which are? *smiles* I don't think I had any brothers or sisters.

Honesty, loyalty, integrity and a good heart.

All the same qualities that make me proud to call you my friend.

*smiles then* Thank you Oliver.

It's that whole night job thing?
