In front of Jake stood a young man with red hair and wearing a similar domino mask as what Overwatch was using. He had a red tunic and maroon pants and black boots. Attached to his back were a quiver and a compact bow attached with a yellow strap. To finish the appearance, the man had a yellow hat with a red feather coming out of it Robin Hood style.
Oliver finally noticed Overwatch and motioned for him to come over. He introduced Jake to the redhead, who Jake learned was named Speedy. The trio spent some time talking about the things that have been happening recently with Jake and how he was settling in with the Wayne household. Jake learned that the red archer's name was Roy Harper, though he got it from the kid with some reluctance. Fair, he doesn't want to risk exposing his identity to the public. Jake thought as he learned the kid's name.
"Well, you're probably wondering what we are doing in this dump. Come on, let me show you." Queen said as he gestured for Jake to follow him. The group walked over to a window overlooking a gravel car park overgrown with shrubbery as a result of years of neglect. Spotting a few targets at various locations, Jake could guess what they were going to do. Queen gave Overwatch his bow and an arrow, telling Jake to show him what he could do.
Feeling the tight string in between his fingers, Jake raised the bow. The cold rubber pressed against his left hand as the weapon was being readied. Pulling back on the string, Jake breathed out in a steady exhale as he released the arrow.
Both Green Arrow and Speedy track the arrow as it travels through the cold morning air, striking its intended target just a few centimeters off the bullseye. Motioning for them to look at the other targets as well, the two archers could see all of them explode in a puff of smoke. Looking at Jake in awe only muttering one word; "How?"
"While you were paying attention to the arrow I threw a batarang at each of the other targets, including the not-so-hidden target you installed above us," Overwatch explained while pointing to the broken target hanging on the floor above them.

After hours of rigorous training with Oliver, the trio was exhausted. The majority of the training was based around hand-to-hand combat, with the primary focus being on Jujitsu but aspects of Thai kickboxing and a few street techniques supplied by Roy helped Jake to have a well-rounded arsenal of martial arts moves that he could use in any given situation. Unfortunately, Oliver had another meeting to attend but he offered to let Jake stay in the building while Roy goes to his job at Verdant. A new nightclub that recently opened up in one of the poorer regions of the city. It was located at an old Queen factory that had been reconfigured to be a nightclub by Oliver. Green Arrow explained that it is where his first hideout was located but is now just used as an old storage facility and training area for him. Roy works at Verdant as a bartender, mostly cause he needs the cash but also to keep an eye on the old facility.
A black Mercedes arrives, the windows are tinted black and it has chrome rims. The driver steps out, he is an African American man with short black hair in a sharp standard suit. He appears to be slightly older than Oliver and isn't fazed by the trio of heroes in front of him. He eyes Overwatch with some hesitance but covers it fairly well. Unfortunately for him, Jake has trained himself to be very well attuned to the body language of people around him.
"Overwatch, I would like you to meet my 'bodyguard' John Diggle. Where Roy is my right-hand man, Diggle is my left. He helps me to balance my life with the company and my public appearance." Oliver explained as he introduced his friend to Overwatch. Jake was furiously typing away on his holo-glove before putting it away to shake the man's hand. He had a strong grip and steel eyes looking right through Jake.
