We walk into the daily planet heading to the bullpen to find Chloe we find her at her desk talking to Lois "We found her" I say looking at Chloe "is she okay?" Chloe asks.

I nod "we need to know who this is" Oliver says showing Chloe the picture of the man "Send me the photo" She says going to her computer "His name is Ace Mendoza and what do you know he works luthorcorp" Chloe says

"So Riley probably seen something to do with Luthorcorp and to keep her quiet Lex tried to have her killed" I say "Sounds like Lex" Oliver says

"woah Lia you're bleeding" Chloe says coming over to me "oh yeah I'm fine just a little cut right now we need to figure out what Riley saw that has Lex trying to kill her" I say

"Let's go talk to Riley" Oliver says I nod following him back to the cars we get back to Clark's walking in we find Riley and her friend Gia on the couch "Riley we need to know what you saw" I say sitting in the chair beside the couch while Oliver wanders off somewhere in the house

"I was working the late shift 2 nights ago and on the way home I took the alley about a block away from my apartment like I always do when I turned the corner I saw the man who was at Gia's apartment he was arguing with someone I'd never seen before it got heated, and before I knew what happened he shot the man" she says

"And then last night someone broke into my apartment I managed to get out using the fire escape, and so I went to the daily planet to find Chloe Sullivan hoping she would believe my story" she says

"We believe you for now we just need you to stay here until we get the guy" I say standing up going to find Oliver I find him standing in the kitchen a first aid kit in hand

"Come here" he says I walk over sitting on the chair in front of him "it's just a cut, we need to be finding Mendoza" I say "Don't argue with me sit still, and then we can find him" Oliver says

He pulls a bandage and alcohol out grabbing a rag "lift your shirt" he says pouring the alcohol on the rag lifting my shirt he wipes away the blood "I told you it was just a cut" I say

"That's more than just a cut" Oliver says placing the bandage over it "Let's go" I say dropping my shirt "We need to make a stop" I say he nods we head outside taking his car this time

Heading to my hotel I tell him to wait in the car going to my room I grab the case with my bow in it "Where are you going?" Eli asks standing at my door "To find your brother's man and put him away for trying to kill an innocent woman" I say stepping past him.

Heading back downstairs, I put the case on the back seat and we head to Oliver's place he suits up, and we head to the slums to find Mendoza

"Chloe tracked his phone he's here somewhere" I say as Oliver and I walk around an old chemical warehouse "I'm going to get on the roof see if I can find him be careful" Oliver says walking off

Looking up I see him on the roof he nods towards the backside of the building I nod making my way around I see Mendoza and two other men looking up at Oliver we both nod before firing arrows taking two of the three down

Mendoza pulls his gun firing shots at Oliver and I getting another arrow ready I fire, watching as it hits him in the leg he groans falling to the ground

Running over I kick his gun away tying him to a pole, 10 minutes later Oliver and I watch from the roof as Mendoza is taken into police custody

After the cops left Oliver and I headed back to Clark's house, climbing out of my car we head inside, seeing Lana and the two girls in the living room

"You girls are safe now Mendoza won't be a bother anymore" I say "Thank you both of you" Riley says "not a problem you ever find yourself in trouble again call me but for now, we will take you girls home" I say

Turning towards the stairs where Clark is standing "Thank you for letting them stay here" I say "Of course" he says, we head to the car taking the girls home

After dropping them off I take Oliver back to the warehouse before heading to the hotel grabbing my case I head inside opening the door I hear noises from the bedroom

Putting the case down I pull my gun from my waist following the sounds quietly pushing the bedroom door open I see Eli and Layla on the bed

"You have got to be fucking kidding me" I say. They jump apart standing up "Lia, it's not what it looks like" Layla says, walking over to me

"It's precisely what it looks like" I say, punching her "I'm leaving, get your shit and get out before I get back" I say, leaving
