"WATCH OUT!" I scream as push Laurel out of the way from the explosives.

The blast throws me over the ledge, I try to quickly grab the chains that are wrapped around the poles of the ledge I just fell off of, I missed the chains. Lucky enough, my leg gets tangled in the chains, jerking my body up and keeping me from falling.

"SPEEDY!" Laurel calls from up top, worriedly.

"I'm okay." I call back as I try to reach and pull myself up on the chains.

Screech, creak, screech!

Just my luck, the chains are slowly unwrapping themselves, due to my weight. I try to climb up the chain, but my leg is so tangled it's preventing me from climbing up.

"Canary, I'm gonna need my bow." I say as I plan to shoot a arrow in the ceiling with a rope attached, to climb up.

"I'm gonna need a minute!" Laurel grunts out, obviously battling someone.

I look up see that the chain is so close to totally being unwrapped. I keep trying to untangle my leg as fast I can, but without my bow I know I'm gonna fall.

"CANARY!" I yell.

I keep trying to dodge the blows from the woman from the Demolition Team, she's really starting to piss me off. 

"CANARY!" I hear Thea yell. 

I quickly turn and see Thea's bow laying close to the ledge where she fell. 

"Speedy." I whisper. 

To distracted by hearing Thea scream for help, the woman from the Demolition Team lands a right hook to my face throwing me off my balance. I quickly try to get back on track, but she lands a kick to my stomach and that makes me fall to the ground. She quickly lands on top of me and begins to choke me. I claw at her hands and face, trying to make her loosen her grip. 

"Don't worry, you'll die right along with your red vigilante friend." The woman laughs as grips tighter. 

No one, and I mean no one, threatens Thea. I grunt as punch her right across her face, making her lose her grip on my neck. I punch once more and jump to kick her right across her face. The woman falls to her knees, and I quickly rush and pick up Thea's bow and rush the ledge. 

"Speedy!" I call as I throw down her bow to her. 

:/:/:/:/:/:/:/;/:/:/THEA'S POV

I smirk as quickly grab an arrow from satchel, and quickly grab my bow and shot of the arrow in record time. Right as the arrow punctured through the ceiling, the chains unwrapped completely from the poles on the ledge. I pull myself up on the rope and start to swing myself, giving me enough momentum to help Laurel. Once I'm a couple of inches higher then the ledge, I pull a tranquilizer arrow out of my satchel and grip tight in my hands. 

"Heads up!" I scream as throw myself of the rope, and tackle the woman from the Demolition Team. 

I place in one armed head lock, as I pull my arm back and thrust the tranq arrow into her neck. She quickly falls unconscious in my arms, and I throw her off if my body. I collapse on the floor to catch my breath, Laurel quickly runs up to me and grabs the arrow with the neutralizer in it, and jams it inside the bomb. 

"Bomb disarmed." Laurel speaks into the comms. 

"You were this close, to letting me fall. What the hell took you so long?" I joke as try to catch my breath. 

Laurel smirks at me and gives me a helping hand. 

"I'd never let you fall. Now, let's get out of here." Laurel smiles.
