Taipei Peace Summit: 7:23pm, September 7th, 2010

P.O.V: Jade Nguyen/Cheshire

Watching all these posh people.......one thing I hurt about my job. Seeing people who have never fought for anything in life, and yet everything is handed to them on a silver plater. The food truck I'm in is not the best cave but it'll do for now. The arbitrator should be here soon. The mission will soon to be a go......if it wasn't for that Robin Hood wannabe. He thinks that a suit and some glasses will make you invisible, please. That's baby stuff. Not to mention the spikey red hair, making him stick out like a sore thumb. Sirens are wailing in the distance as a police escort shows. The fancy white car pulls up to the summit as I smile. Time to go to work.

I get dressed into my gear while picking up the massive rocket launcher. While not really my style, he said to make it as outlandish and explosive as possible. Oh well, same result in the end. I aim the launcher and was about to pull the trigger but the Robin Hood wannabe shoots an arrow into my hand, diverting the rocket up to the sky. I growl under my breath as I spot the archer, all the posh are running for their lives while the North and South Rhlesian guards protect their leaders. I jump off the food truck and bounce off someone's head as I land near the car. The guards try to take me but I just batter them around, piss easy. I run to the car as a net is fired at me. I cut through it as the archer tackles me into the ground. I get on too of him as the rocket comes down and explodes on my food truck. Damn, I liked that truck. I glare down at the archer and ready my sai. When suddenly, I feel a cool metal wrap around my arm and body, the same is said for the archer. I look down and recongize the chains. "Shit." I say as both myself and the archer are pulled along the ground. I look up and see Matthew's amused expression, guards all around us, pointing their weapons. "Having fun?" Matt asks sarcastically as I just drop the anger and raise my hands in surrender.

He pulls me up as he gestures to one of the guards for some handcuffs. He releases the chains and before I can even try to escape, he has cuffed me. I decided to tease him while he does. "I didn't know you were into this sort of thing." I say as he smirks. "Whatever you say." He says as he pushes me to some coos as they place me in the back of the car.

I see our of the corner of my eye and see Matthew staring at the mystery arbitrator.......Lex Luthor? Hmm, a surprise......but a welcome one. Oh well. The more interesting.......the better.

P.O.V: Matthew Spectre

Making eye contact with Luther, the arrogant bastard decides to smirk at me. I narrow my eyes and make my way over to Roy. The Taipei Police wanted to take him but I decided to intervene. I speak in Chinese Mardain to the officers. "Leave him be. He's with me." I say as they look at me incredulously. "We have confirmation." I hear Luthor say as he walks up beside me. "This one is Green Arrow's pal, Speedy." He says as I feel Roy's frustration. "It's Red Arrow." He says as I mentally face palm. "He must be questioned." One of the officers says as I step in. "He will be. I didn't know that he was going to be here, but I promise you officer, I'll find out why." I say as Luthor and Roy look at both of us. The office turns back to the other cops and orders them to release Roy. "I don't need any favors from you, Rider." Roy says to me as I snarl and grab him by the scruff of his neck. I throw him away and out of sight from everyone. "Sorry about him. I'll make sure that he doesn't cause any trouble." I say as the officer nods. "Ghost Rider, a word?" Luthor asks as I reluctantly nod. He may be a criminal and an asshole but he is the arbitrator, might as well get on his good side. Myself, Luthor and his assistant, Mercy all walk over to where Roy is. And he doesn't look to happy. "I didn't need your help." He says to me as Luthor chuckles. "Your friend is the only that vouched for you, young man. Or do you want to go with the young lady and be put behind some bars?" Luthor says as Roy moves past me and gets in his face. "You may have everyone here fooled Luthor, even him. But I know what you are." Roy says as I push him away. "You need to calm down." I say as he scoffs. "What are you? Luthor's new lap dog?" Roy says as I narrow my eyes at him. "I'm here for security, for the peace summit. The league wasn't available so Batman sent me. And now that you're here, I have to keep an eye on you and to make sure that the summit goes smoothly. Anf like or not, Luthor is the arbitrator, so pull the fucking stick out of ass and get with the program. Or you spend the rest of the summit in a Taipei prison cell." I say threateningly to him. I can feel that he wants to argue but I make my eyes glow, Roy finally backs down. "Good."
