“Oliver we just got a transmission from Roy Harper” Felicity said looking over her shoulder to where Oliver and Diggle where training “Hes on his way back from Central City…”

“Finally, it seems Arsenal has been out for ages” Diggle said wipping his self with a cloth and going to get a shirt on as Oliver went over to where felicity was looking at the screen, she turned towards him and came face to abs with his, more than toned stomach “Um wow..what did i say, Shirtless.. all the time” she said the tips of her ears turning red as she turned to look back at the computer monitors again.

“Um okay..” Oliver’s eyebrow went up as he looked at her then back at the computers “well might as well call Artemis from her job at the cafe so she can meet Roy, mind on calling her up Fel? im going to rinse off” Oliver said leaving the room and going up stairs to where the showers were in the building, Felicity had them put some in since she claimed that, they were always nasty smelling and she had perfume for a reason other to be poisoned by men odors.

Felicity then called Artemis at her part time job in the middle of Starling where Main street and the park met, in a quiet cafe with a lot of service going through out the shop each day. 

Artemis picked up the phone and held it against her shoulder “Hey Felicity, does Oliver need me for something?” she asked as she set down two coffee cups in the sink of the kitchen and started to wash them while Felicity spoke.

“No no, he just wants you to meet someone who finally decided to come back to starling city, Ill see you then?” “Yeah okay ill see you guys in 15 minutes” Artemis said then hung up and checked out of work after putting the glasses away carefully in the right places.

As she pulled out of the alley where she had parked her motorcycle but was almost hit by a red car “Hey! Watch it!” the man yelled from inside it and sped off “Ugh, men, such jerks” Artemis rolled her eyes and got onto the main road.

Artemis got off her motorcycle back at the abandoned warehouse for Queen Consolidated and walked into the warehouse and went down the stairs, “So wheres this old friend of everyone?” Artemis asked coming down the stairs her blonde hair up in the normal pony tail it was always in.

“Hey newbie” a boy said and Artemis recognized the voice and she saw his face and she scoffed out loud “Youre the boy that almost hit me!” she yelled going up to him.

The trio of Oliver, Felicity, and Diggle watched in almost shock as Artemis walked straight up to him, keeping her face close to hers “You cant make me work with her, she's stupid as-“ “Harper i don’t thin you want to finish that sentence” the blonde said angrily  

“so who are you suppose to be? Arrow Girl? how pathetic” Roy said raising an eyebrow smirking “Oliver why did you pick this girl off the street as my replacement i doubt she could even shoot with the bow”
