in starling city

Oliver had told Laurel to stay with Felicity so they could both work on tracking them, so, for once Laurel had to take orders from Felicity. Artemis, Roy, and Oliver all climbed onto their bikes and took off in the direction of the city, knowing that they would have to be quick so they could find the next bomb before it started.

“Oliver, Roy, we just need to look for the container of the bomb, tell me if you see anything of it” Artemis said over the coms as she slipped off her helmet and parked her motorcycle behind a building then ran out looking into the flames before going around them to the middle of the first fire.

With Roy and Oliver on the second bombed area it gave her time to look around the area, poking around in the ashes, she then found a controller hook up “the carcass of the explosion somewhere in the decay of the destruction from the bomb its self.

After a while of looking Oliver spoke into his communicator to Artemis “Artemis…we found the carcass but it looks like you can barely make out a shape, it just was dug into the ground, we are going to your location now” Oliver said as you could hear car, and siren noises in the back ground.

“Okay see you then” she replied and continued to go through it slowly making sure she found something before she would go home that day, Roy and Oliver arrived about five minutes later. Roy went to the lower levels and Oliver checked the perimeter of the block looking for equipment or a suspicious character or car.

Artemis stayed around the area where Roy was checking because it was one of the biggest areas to check but it was quiet except for the accessional flame crack.

“Artemis, i think i found something…” Arsenal called from an alley way out side of the house, Artemis ran out to the alley and went to his side looking down to the corner where he pointed and thats where the most destroyed and there sat the carcass of a Semtex bomb with red and silver outlining.

Artemis’s blood suddenly went cold, her face went pale as she saw it but didn't believe it “Silver is his favorite color” Artemis mumbled to her self, remembering what happened last time she saw that bomb, it was when she used to watch him pack up his gear on his way to an assassination the glint in his eyes as he filled the bomb was terrifying.

Artemis couldn't believe that her father was after her, and what her sister said was indeed true, he would get her and corner her, if it was the last thing he did. She was not afraid of her father, but she was afraid of what he would do to get her or what he would do to her for betraying him in every way possible.

“Oliver, Artemis and I found the bomb on our way of the area” Roy said into the com link and looked at artemis, worried for her.. even though he didn't know what she was thinking.

“ill be right there” Oliver said then made his way over to them and looked at it, then stepped forward and squatted in front of hit to take a closer look, “Is this your fathers Artemis?” he asked looking over his shoulder to her

She nodded and turned away from the wreckage.
