The Return of the Queens

Chapter 13

The next night Barbara and Felicity showed up for their first night of working with the vigilantes to save the city. Tonight, was going to be more of a learning experience for the two women, because one might be better at certain things on the computer then the other was.

"Ok, so being that the two of you are working here with us we need this to be like a well-oiled machine as soon as possible. Like one of you can be the hacker while the other one can talk to us through the comms and guide us to where we need to go." Oliver said.

"You two will be learning who is better at what tonight, so get to work." Thea said.

The four vigilantes went to change their clothes so that they could workout while the two computer geniuses were working on seeing who was better at what. It turned out that Barbara was better at hacking so that meant that Felicity would be in charge of comms.

"We have figured out our positions in this now, so when y'all go out in the field again we will be ready." Barbara said.

"Good. So, do you have any questions?" Thea asked.

"Yes, but it is a personal question, so can we talk alone somewhere?" Barbara asked and Thea nodded as the two walked to a corner where no one could hear them.

"So, what is it that you wanted to ask me?" Thea asked.

"I was wondering if you would be willing to train me how to fight. I have no experience with fighting, but if I am going to be coming here every night and walking in the Glades, I would like to know how to protect myself in case a mugger comes after me or something." Barbara said.

"Makes since. I would be happy to train you. A woman always needs to be able to protect herself." Thea said.

"Thank you. So, when do we start?" Barbara asked.

"When are you free? Do you want to do this privately or do you mind if the others know about it?" Thea asked.

"I don't know if we should tell Felicity, because then she will want in and I would rather have a teacher who is only focusing on me at the time and not a group of people, if you know what I mean." Barbara said.

"That makes since. I think it would be easier on me as well if we don't let Felicity in on this." Thea said.

"So, when is good for you? I will see if I can make it work." Barbara said.

"I am free during the day. So, let me know when you get off of work and I will be here waiting." Thea said.

"I get off work at 4:30 every day. I can be here by 4:45." Barbara said.

"Sounds good to me. I will be here waiting." Thea said and the two women walked back to where everyone else was.

"Nothing really. Just needed to talk some girl talk with her. We are close to the same age so I thought it would be good to get her opinion on the matter." Barbara said.

"Well you can always talk to me too, if you need to." Felicity said.

"I know. Thank you." Barbara said.

The two women got back to work on their computers while the vigilantes went out to patrol the city. All of a sudden, the alarms on the computer started to go off which meant that the two computer geniuses were going to get to do some real work tonight.

"What's going on?" Green Arrow said over the comms.

"Looks like someone is high jacking a FEMA medicine shipment that was heading to the hospital in the Glade." Felicity said.

"Tell us where to cut the vehicle off and all of us will converge on the location." Green Arrow said.

"Looks like the truck is on 5th Avenue heading toward the intersection at Washington Street." Felicity said.

"Ok, we are on it. While we are taking care of this, Barbara I want you to find out if there have been any other high jackings like this." Artemis said.

"I'm on it. I will let you know when I find something." Barbara said.

Green Arrow and Artemis were able to see the truck and they caught up to it only two streets away from where Felicity said she had seen it. Black Canary and White Canary were coming from behind the truck, meaning that the truck was surrounded.

"Artemis, you stay up front with me. Black and White Canary you take the back." Green Arrow said.

"Copy." The other three said as the converged on the truck.

The driver got out of the truck and to the surprise of Green Arrow and Artemis they knew who the person was, but they didn't know why she wasn't still in jail.

"I was wondering when I would see you two again. You sent me to jail, now I will kill you for that." China White said.

"Good luck." Artemis said as she and Green Arrow attack, trying the keep China White occupied while the Canaries checked out the truck.

Once the Canaries checked the truck and took out all of the other men, they saw that Green Arrow and Artemis were wearing China White down and also keeping her distracted so it would be easy for one of them to come up from behind and take her out.

Black Canary used some of here stealth and snuck up on China White and hit her in the head with one of her batons, knocking the woman out.

"Good job. Now let's tie all these guys and China White up so that the police can take them in." Oliver said.

Once they were done with that, Felicity call the police and left a anonymous tip on where to fine all of the unconscious villains. The vigilantes stayed there until they heard sirens and then they left.

Once the vigilantes got back to the lair, they all changed back into their street clothes and walked back into the main room. "I have to say, I am impressed that you did so well on this for your first time. Did you ever find if there were anymore stolen shipments?" Oliver asked.

"There had been two other high jackings in the past couple of weeks." Barbara said.

"Ok, so we stopped something that was starting to become a problem and we also got on of the Triads top people behind bars as well. I have to say this is a good night." Thea said.

"Yes, it was. Let's all head home and then we will be back here tomorrow night to do it all over again." Oliver said as they all left the lair to go home for the night.
