1. proposal {
1. park - you've been planning this proposal for awhile and have taken your sweetheart to a nice secluded area in the park. are they going to say yes or leave you in the dust?

2. house - dimmed lights, candles, home made dinner. it's obvious you've fixed yourself up for something tonight. let's see if your lover catches on before the question is popped.

3. public event - perhaps you're one who wants to gain a lot of attention; maybe your significant other doesn't as much. either way, this goes from writing their message in the sky with an airplane to something like a flash mob ensemble with others involved.

4. restaurant - nothing romantic like taking them out somewhere ritzy and hiding the rings in that glass of expensive wine.

5. car - you've driven them somewhere nostalgic or meaningful either to you or each other, or perhaps just a good view overlooking the city cause maybe you had no other idea how to do it or couldn't afford anything else.

2. marriage {
1. traditional - both parties have agreed and said yes, and everything goes well just like in the fairy tales you've always dreamed of.

2. arranged - you had no say so in this but somebody else like your parents did. you've never seen this person before until you walk down the aisle. what are your thoughts? are you nervous? what if you two don't get along? looks like you have to deal with it either way. enjoy?

3. elope - nothing fancy. you know, they do make drive thru chapels or perhaps you're just going to experience the excitement of meeting up at the court. all and all, it doesn't matter, just so you have your sweetheart to yourself.

4. shotgun - congrats, somebody is pregnant. there's only one more thing left to do now..

5. disaster - looks like somebody forgot the rings! never mind the fact the maid of honor is having a wardrobe malfunction or that soon to be father in law is causing a scene of some sort.

3. after marriage {
1. honeymoon night - self explanatory! come on, you know what this means. it just wouldn't be the same without this option.

2. new addition - it could be a pregnancy or bringing home a new child, or something as simple as a new pet goldfish.

3. house purchase - after months of living in a trashy apartment, you're both about to sign the dotted line and move into your new place.

4. argument - deep, relationship sort of arguments or something petty like who drank all the milk; it's up to you!

5. divorce - somebody has had enough of this and is ready to move on. how will it all go down?

"Good to know romance isn't dead," Mercy said dryly, twisting free of her last attacker and dropping him neatly to the ground.

He punches his attacker in the face dropping him. "I give you plenty of romance," he counters with a grin, "the roses were a nice touch."

Mercy rolled her eyes, then quickly sidestepped the rushing attacker, letting him move into Oliver's sights. "Oh, please, those weren't even for me."

Though... her hand went involuntarily to the lamb necklace around her neck. The one he'd quietly left for her to replace the one that had been taken from her when she'd been made a slave. If she hadn't already fallen in love with him, that would have tipped her over the edge.

"Okay so maybe I was trying to suck up to Moria just a little," he admits, "but you know me I'm not big on the flashy stuff."

"I don't need flashy," Mercy said softly.

"I know you don't," Malcolm says, "it's the other reason I asked you now."

Mercy spun and decked one of the attackers who was getting up again. "Lay down and stay down!"

She turned back to Malcolm. "Do you love me? Really love me?"

He makes sure the guy stays down with an arrow stab to the heart. Clean and neat. "Yes Mercy...I love you."

She looked at him intently for a moment then nodded. "Okay then. I'll marry you. Just...don't go changing your mind on me."

Bruce's voice came over the ear piece. "Does this mean she gets sex now?"

"Yeah, give the girl a break," Oliver chimed in.

"You're next Bruce," Malcolm jokes, "I think Clark is free now that he isn't seeing Lois anymore and you need to get laid more than I do."

"Wait, what?!" Mercy had her hands on her hips with an only mostly mock glare at Malcolm. "And just where have you been getting laid???"

"What me no," Malcolm says teasing, "you've had to drag me to bed often to know how hard I work."

"I've tried to drag you to bed," she said grimly. "Haven't managed it yet. I assume we DO get yo have sex if I marry you?"

He fights the urge to laugh. "That's a given to be honest."

"It better be," she grumbled.

Then her eyes brightened. "Hey, is there some clause in the Malcolm Merlyn Morality compact that allows for sex once we're engaged?"

He laughs and shakes his head. "No there isn't any clause that forbids sex now that I offered you a ring."

She put her hand to her earpiece. "You heard him! Hurry up! I want to go home!"

Then the rest of what he said registered. "You got me a ring? Really?" For some reason she really hadn't expected that.

Oliver chimes in again much to the amusement of the rest of the League, he can now hear Superman and Wonder Woman laughing and possibly exchanging money. "He spent two weeks trying to pick it out," Malcolm's apprentice says as Malcolm pulls a blue velvet box out of a hidden part of his kit and holds it out.

"If you all have made us into an office pool I am going to prank the lot of you so badly," Malcolm says in mock annoyance, "super hearing or no super hearing."

"Shush, all of you," Mercy ordered carefully taking the box and looking at it almost nervously before opening it. "Oh, Malcolm..."

It was a simple diamond ring but it still sparkling and shiny. Malcolm smiles. "You like it?"

Fancy wouldn't have been at all what she wanted. She smiled up at him. "It's perfect."

He slides it onto her finger and smiles again. "Yes it is."

Mercy stretched up to kiss him. "Thank you," she whispered.

"You're welcome," he says leaning in for a kiss.

She wrapped one arm around his neck, sliding the other into his hair to hold him close. "Love you so much," she murmured.
