Arrow's Girl

First Task Together

Oliver and I walk over to Diggle in Verdant, drunk young adults surrounding us, dancing like crazy.

"We're gonna need more sparring dummies." I say loudly to Diggle over the club music.

Me and Oliver kinda destroyed all the dummies we have. Hey, not in that kind of way! We were working on our team work and it's been a week since the Hoods.

Danny's downstairs trying to train. I'm training him. I told him everything and... he took it surprisingly well, even the part about Ras Al Ghul being our father. Now, he wants to join Team Arrow.

That's the name I call us, but Ollie doesn't like it. Oh well.

"I'll start ordering them in bulk." Diggle says back. "Does this mean that you guys are ready to launch Crusade 2.0?"

"We're ready, we just don't know where to start." Oliver says. "Last year, I had the list. Getting justice was as easy as crossing names out of a book."

"This is Starling City. You never have to look far to find someone engaged in illegal activity." Diggle says. "Yesterday, Big Belly Burger got robbed."

"Was Carly there? Is she okay?" Oliver asks.

Diggle looks at me in discomfort before answering. "Yeah, um, she was..." John stammers. "It was her day off."

"Good. Then, the four of us should get dinner," says Oliver. "I haven't seen her since I got back."

"Why the sudden interest in my love life?" John asks.

"If it's important to you, it's important to me."

"Hey!" Thea says coming toward us. "I didn't see you guys come in."

"I had a secret entrance installed when I ran the club." Oliver says, causing Thea to raise her eyebrows and look at us, shocked. "Kidding."

Just then, Thea's phone rings. She answers it and puts it to her ear.

"Hello?... Yes, yeah, this is Thea Queen." her faces suddenly has a look of disbelief and she shakes her head. "Of course that's where he is... Yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can. Bye."

And with that, she hangs up the phone. "What's up?" I ask her.

"I just got a call from the police station saying that they have my boyfriend in custody."

"We'll go with you." I say, making Oliver look at me.

Thea smiles and thanks me and then we all walk to our cars. "Why are we going with her?" Oliver asks.

"Because of Roy." I say.

"Her boyfriend?"

"Yup."

"Why?"

"Because, Ollie, people don't get arrested for no reason. Especially if it's Roy Harper."

We get to the police station and walk up to the room where some of the cops told us to go.
