Little Bear

Bear POV

The next morning I woke up to Thea in my room. She was pulling out clothes and other things. She looked over my way and nodded for me to come to her . And so I did and she helped me get dressed and do what she called makeup me and Oliver went to Walter's stock auction.  I felt very uncomfortable in the dress that I'm wearing. It went all the way down go the floor. It was forest green colour and it rested on the side of my arms.  The dress also showed my knees and down,  having the back reach the floor but not the front.  Oliver said I looked beautiful but I still didn't like the way I looked. I didn't look like me. It was like I'm a while different person.

Oliver and I stood up at the staircase, just looking around when we saw one of the officers escort a man called Patel out. Oliver said we're here to keep everyone safe. That the man named Deadshot could be targeting many people here. Oliver only allowed me to come so I could be his alibi. I wasn't here to fight,in fact I'm not even gonna go with him whenever he leaves to go do what he do. Both of us walking down the staircase, Oliver's eyes wondering around and keeping a eye out.

"No sign of Deadshot " Oliver said, looking around the room and back to me. I nodded as we continued walking. As we were walking, I noticed that Lance was here and that he was walking up to us.

"Well don't you scrub up nice" Lance said to Oliver.  He then looked at me, "I hope you don't plan to get with him"

"I don't plan on getting with anyone" I told Lance. Lance just nodded before walking away from us, leaving me slightly confused on why he would ask that. I turned my head to Oliver, who pointed over to Diggle. I nodded as we walked our way through the crowd and to him.

"Dig, got your eyes open?" Oliver asked him. Diggle didn't move at our presence .

"That's what I'm here for, sir. That and answering patronizing questions " Diggle said.

I noticed how Oliver began to look nervous, was Deadshot suppose to be here by now? Or were we not at the right place or something ?

"This guy out of time. If he's going to do something , it's going to happen before the auction " Oliver said to me. But Diggle heard and gave him a confused look.

"Sir?" He asked. Oliver ignored him and pulled me away with him. This to me we were walking up to Walter.

"Oliver, so pleased you were able to attend hmm" Walter said, a tiny bit of shock in his voice.

"Walter, the police said that some of the Unidad bidders were murdered. I just think that we should be a little bit more careful. My mother already lost a husband" Oliver said to Walter.

"Well, of Moira shared your concern, she wouldn't have come. And she definitely wouldn't have brought your sister" Walter said.

"Thea's here?" I asked, surprised that she was able to come. Walter nodded to my question and pointed to where they were. Once again, we moved somewhere else. Oliver motioned for Diggle to come as we headed to Moria and Thea.

"Oliver, Bear,  what a wonderful surprise " Moira said, with shock on her voice. But Oliver ignored her and turned to whisper something to Diggle. 

"I need you to get them out of here right now" Oliver said to him and me. But after he said that, the sound of glass breaking was heard. And I knew that he was here.

I pulled Thea under me, covering her from any bullets that may come this way. As more shots were being fired, me, Thea, Diggle, Oliver and Moira ran out of the room. Once we were in another room, Oliver looked up at Thea and Moira.

"Are you ok? Are you hurt?" Oliver asked worried.

"No I'm fine!where is Walter? " Moira asked,  worried about her husband. I tried looking around the room to see him,  but I couldn't see him. "Walter's fine" Oliver said, clearly knowing where her husband is. I pulled Thea over to Diggle.

"Sir, ma'am,  I have to get you guys out of here" Diggle said to me and Oliver. Oliver put one of hands up in the air, "No, them.  Them!" Oliver said to Diggle.  Oliver then took off running, leaving me and Diggle.

Oliver's POV

I turned away from Bear and Diggle and took off running. I headed towards the stairway, where I ran up a few flights. On one of the flights, I stopped at a trash can and opened it. Grabbing out bags that held my outfit and bow. As I ran up the steps again, I changed into my clothes . Once made it outside, I shot an arrow at the building across from me.  I quickly jumped on the rope, swing across to the other side. I went through the window,  rolling into the ground, while immediately started firing my  arrows at Deadshot. He wasn't shocked by this and quickly returned fire. I avoided the bullets by hidding behind the pillars. After a second, I grabbed my knife and quickly stood up,  aiming at him.  I soon threw it, but he dodged it. My knife hitting to wall behind him. I then started to hide again, this time getting more above him. Once I was close enough to him, I kicked him in the back. He took a few steps forward , in which I quickly kicked the gun out of his hands. I then charged at him, tackling him to the ground. We fought, throwing punches at each other,trying to get each other down. Eventually he got away from my grip, grabbing his gun as he did so.

"Drop your guns" I told him, which only cause him to chuckle.

"I admire your work. I guess you won't be extending me any processional courtesy.  You actually managed to make me bleed"

"I'm nothing like you," I said, "You kill for the joy of it"

"You've taken lives" Deadshot responded back.

"For the good of others. You're out for yourself " I  told him before Deadshot began firing again. I took an arrow out and shot him. He fell with a thump and I went over to checked him. He was out, but I heard heavy panting behind me.  I ran over to him and wrapped his arms around me.

I then took Diggle to the hideout. Diggle was getting paler and paler by the minute. Once I managed to get Diggle down on the table as I started making the medicine. After grinding and mixing it up,  I rushed back over to Diggle,  and moved him a bit. I poured it into his mouth  and he started to cough.  I took my hood off as  Diggle began to sit up a bit, panting as he did.

taking a step toward him, I spoke to him, "Hey "

"Oliver You're the vigilante? " Diggle asked as he tired to come at me But I easily dodged it.

"You were poisoned,  you shouldn't be moving" I stated and Diggle turned and looked at me.

"I could have taken you anywhere.  Could've taken you home. But I brought you here" I told him, trying to gain his trust.

"You really did lose your mind on that island" Diggle pants out.

"Found a couple things along the way" I told him.

"Like what, archery classes?"

"Clarity.  Starling City is dying.  It is being poisoned by a criminal elite who don't care who they hurt, as long as they maintain their wealth and power" I explained to him.

"What are you gonna do, take them all down? "Diggle asked

"No, I wants you to join me" I said, causing Diggle to shake his head.

" Oliver, you're not a soldier.  You're a criminal and murderer" and with that Diggle left, leaving me with a uncertain answer.
