ten : someday

"Oliver," Arden whined loudly. "When am I going to go in the field?"

"When you're ready." Oliver simply answered, earning a loud groan from Arden.

"When is that?" She asked again, making Oliver more annoyed.

"When I say so." Oliver answered firmly, making Arden stop asking questions.

"Damn, Greenie." Arden said defensively, holding her hand up in surrender. "I was just asking."

"He gets grumpy like that don't worry." Felicity commented, making Arden chuckle. Oliver sent a glare towards Arden and she quickly stopped.

"Where's Roy boy?" Arden asked, changing the subject. She walked around the lair, grabbing an arrow and looking intently at it.

"With Thea." Felicity answered. Arden took a deep breath and nodded casually, setting down the arrow.

"And Dig?" She asked, noticing she hadn't seen Dig at all today.

"He took the day to be with his family." Felicity answered again.

"So, that leaves us." She said looking around. Oliver looked at her and nodded.

"Actually, I want you to meet someone." Felicity said excitedly, "So, I invited him."

"He's coming here?" Arden asked confused.

"Yeah, he found out a while ago." Felicity explained and Arden just nodded. As if on cue, the doors of the elevator opened, revealing a tall black man with rectangular glasses.

"Hello, Arrow Team." The tall man said, causing Oliver to roll his eyes.

"We don't call ourselves that, Curtis." Oliver explained and Arden tried to hold in her laughter. "And if we did, it would be Team Arrow, not Arrow Team." He mumbled to himself but Arden caught it, making her giggle.

"Who's this lovely young woman?" Curtis asked, walking over to Arden.

"I'm Arden Hunt, nice to meet you." Arden introduced, shaking his hand.

"Curtis Holt, lovely to meet you." He said, letting go of her hand.

"I see you've met," Felicity pointed out and walked over to them. "Arden, may I?" She asked, referring to reveal her identity.

"Go ahead." Arden shrugged and Felicity smiled.

"She's Violet!" Felicity exclaimed, "The purple haired vigilante that was only in the streets like three times because we're training her now. Well, Oliver is, but we're a team so it's technically we. I don't mean like Oliver and me are a team, I mean like all of us. If we-"

"Lis," Arden interrupted, "As cute as your babbling is and as much as Oliver loves it, get to the point please."

"Hey, don't bring me into this." Oliver said from the other side.

"Hush." Arden silenced him, holding her index finger up.

"Well, she's Violet." Felicity finished explaining and Curtis smiled excitedly.

"Oh my, you're so cool." Curtis excitedly said.

"Thanks." Arden smiled at him. The moment was cut off by a noise coming from the computer. Felicity ran to the computer and typed in a few times to see what was going on.

"Robbery in progress at Starling National Bank." Felicity announced and Oliver was already suiting up.

"Arden, wanna come with?" Oliver suggested and Arden's eyes went wide with shock and excitement.

"Fuck yeah." She said, making Oliver chuckle. Arden rushed to the leather jacket, putting it on. She clipped her purple wig and hesitantly grabbed the gun from the weapons drawer, putting it on the pouch. "Lis, any chance you have purple lipstick on your purse?" She asked, putting on her mask.

"Yeah, here." Felicity tossed the lipstick and she caught it, putting it on while they made their way toward Oliver's motorcycle.

"Hello there, cutie." Violet giggled at the cute boy who was robbing the bank, along with a couple of other teenagers. "Too bad you're on the other side." Violet pouted and kicked him straight in the face. He sent a punch towards Violet but she caught it with her hand. "Oh, sweetie, nice try."

"Please don't kill me." The guy begged and Violet just shook her head. She then punched him in the face, making him lose consciousness.

"Oops." Violet said with a chuckle as she walked over to where Green Arrow was and kept fighting.

"That was amazing!" Arden exclaimed as they walked into the lair. Felicity and Curtis were there smiling at the two.

"We need to discuss this giggle thing, it's creepy." Oliver said, cringing at the memory. Arden chuckled at the action and then shrugged.

"I don't know, it comes naturally." Arden answered, "By the way, how'd I do?" She asked hopefully, looking into Oliver's blue eyes.

"You were good." Oliver shrugged, taking off his hood and placing his bow on the table.

"Good?" Arden asked disappointedly, "I've been training for weeks and all I get is good?"

"Well, yeah." Oliver answered casually, not getting what Arden's point was.

"I just thought maybe I could get a 'fantastic' or at least a 'great', but I guess I was in over my head." Arden said, clearly disappointed in herself.

"Arden, you were amazing." Felicity assures her while she walked up to her. "Oliver just doesn't know how to express pride."

"If he had any." Arden mumbled but put a fake smile on her face, "Well, thank you everyone. I'm going to get some rest because I have an early shift tomorrow." She announced, grabbing all her things and walking out of the lair.

Arden got to her apartment after a few minutes and laid down on her bed.

You'll be a hero someday, she told herself before drifting to sleep.
