Disclaimer: to all the fans of the Arrow show or the Green Arrow comics/sagas this is completely my own interpretation of the show (if characters could have superpower in the show) For any Roy Harper fans he is in this story as his sidekick role 'Speedy'. This is also my first real story series so be gentle in the comments.

Starling City, its far from perfect but it maybe, thanks to the Vigilante known as the Hood and his partner 'Speedy'. They protect the citizens from the evils that fester in the underbelly of Starling city. That was in till one night they had gotten wind of strange arrangement of deaths all dubbed coincidences and the death were of drug related causes. Which was fine except for two problems one all of the 'victims' were between the ages of 25-late 40 and two they all had some connection to organized crime from small petty thefts to large corporation dealings; and not the legal kind. Plus the drug wasn't 'Vertigo' it was some new drug called 'Devil'. Oliver was relieved that the streets were saver and it did make his list shorter (although he wasn't happy about it).Felicity Smoak and John Diggle questioned him why he wasn't taking action. They were all at the Queen's industry warehouse except for Roy Harper.

" Hey Oliver this had been the fifth death this week alone." Reminded Diggle

" I know Diggle, the report said that they all overdosed and I checked they all were addicted to a new drug import unknown source. I have no leads to follow." Replied Oliver

"Ok , I know your trying to be all cool about every thing but I think you should see this." Said Felicity turning around in her computer chair.

Oliver walked over to see a video feed of the latest "murder" a man named Martin Reedson, he was in his office working , but around about five minutes after midnight he fell over dead.

"So it looks like be alone right?" Continued Felicity

"Yeah." Admitted Oliver

She continued further "I thought so too, until I notice that there is someone else in the room. They disappear right after our friend Mr. Reedson meets his untimely demise."

"So what were dealing with a phantom or something!" Asked Diggle

"I don't know, but I'll grab Roy and find out. " claimed Oliver and walked out the inform his partner.

Meanwhile Roy was downtown trying to get hold of Thea Queen, Oliver's sister and his girlfriend who went to study aboard and basically saying she needed some space . He wasn't sure if that meant they were together or not but he wanted to find out. Just then a girl on a motorcycle drove past him over a large puddle soaking him.

"Hey watch where your going." He yelled as he rung his red sweater.

The girl stopped and parked her bike got off and walked towards Roy. She took off her helmet, She had brown skin , deep dark brown almost to the point of being black and long black wavy hair. She was wearing a black leather jump-suit and boots. Roy stood there silent for a minute unable to speak. The girl looked at him and hand him a towel from the back of her bike.

"Are all boys in this city , as talkie as you?" She asked

"Well.... No.... Um.....I" stuttered Roy

"Well if you do mange to put together a sentence, I'm Vanessa, Vanessa Gabriel"

She turned to walk away.

"I'm Roy ,Roy Harper ." Blurted Roy

"So you can actually form a sentence." smirked Vanessa

Roy Wanted to say something , but his phone when off . It was a message from Oliver 'hood'. He looked at Vanessa "I have to go."

"Ok see you around , Roy Harper." As she got on her bike and drove off.

About ten minute later , Oliver found Roy and briefed him in the situation.

"That not a lot to go off Ollie."

"I know , but it worth looking into." Admitted Oliver

That night they suited up and set out. Felicity keep them up dated.

" ok guys, there seems to be so active at the Mells Corporation, look like some one or something wants to have a conversation. And they aren't using words."

"Thanks Felicity " said Oliver an off they when . They kept from building to building , in till they were on the roof of the Mells Corp building.

Oliver and Roy snuck into the building made it to the doors of the Arthur Mells office. They could heard the screams of Mr. Mells and they crashed into the room. Roy noticed a figure dressed in black steam punk archer outfit with goggles covering his face standing next the body.

"Any idea who this wannabe is?" He asked

"No idea but let's see if he has talent." Answered Oliver

The other archer notice their presence and he wasn't scared , he looked pissed. Oliver shot his arrow but the archer dodged and fire back his arrow but it wasn't an arrow it some sort of light. It shot passed Oliver's head and blow the wall behind him. Roy tried to shot, but the archer dodge and fired another arrow but this time at the floor causing the room to fill with a blinding light. When it finally die down the archer was gone. So Oliver and Roy call it a night and regrouped.

The very next day Roy meet Vanessa again .

" hey Roy you wouldn't know where I can get a good cup of coffee." She asked

" sure "he answered

"The it's a date" those word made Roy's a spine tingle .

They started to walk downtown when Vanessa's phone when off. " I have to take this sorry"

"Ok"

She answered the voice on the other side was deep and serious

"Are you with him now? "

" yes, I take it your appearance last night didn't leave an impact"she answered

"No, but you will have to get in and make them see it our way before the WhiteFang get to go on their side."

"Ok I got it"

"Good see you tonight." Click

She closed her phone and walk back to Roy. Clinging to his arm they walked, Roy did know it but he might be on a date with a murder . Can Vanessa be trusted.
