Hey guys!

I have had this idea in my head for a while now. I am not abandoning 'Staying in the Shadows' and I will update that story soon! I don't own Arrow(Like you didn't know that already ;) )

Constructive criticism is appreciated!

Thanks for reading!

'Digg…get us out.' I hear the Hood growl next to me.

I think the answer to that must have been something like: 'us?' because the Hood sighs and says: 'Lance and I, they can't know he is involved with…'

At that moment, I see his head fall back and see his body slacken. He is out cold that is certain.

I do hope that 'Digg' guy shows up soon because I am pretty much bleeding to death here. After thinking that, I feel my eyes roll back and I lose consciousness too.

'When do you think he is going to wake up?' I hear a voice asking, one that seems very far away. 'Do you think we should get him to his house before he wakes up?' It is a familiar voice. When I open my eyes I see a blonde woman with brightly colored lips next to me. 'Miss Smoak' I say.' Hello detective', she replies and says something about me being shot or so, but I don't really pay attention to what she says because… because I am in a place I thought I would never see.

I am currently lying on a steel table, and next to me are a bunch of computers and a table with a lot of arrows on display. The moment I look further I see a glass case with in it, the Hood's hood. It looks like an underground lair, maybe a basement. A very professional and unusual basement, that is.

'Am I really…?' I ask.

'Yes', a voice says, one I have heard before but I can't really place it.

A burly man walks into my view, and asks me if I am okay.

'Mr…..Diggle, isn't it?'I say to him and he nods.

'So you are his sidekick?'

"Nah, more like his black driver.' Diggle smiles and I can see Miss Smoak trying very hard not to laugh.

I sit up and see that Miss Smoak has returned to her computer. 'Digg', she says, 'I have found something on Deadshot.'

'You working on the Deadshot case?'I asked Miss Smoak

'Yes, we are', she replies. 'We are trying to find out more about him being in the ASIS, if something went wrong before he had to find Yao Fei.' I can feel my head spinning after hearing that much information.

Diggle walks toward the back of the room and says something to somebody I can't see. I can hear the short reply that consists of a simple 'good'. Then I hear, who I assume is the Hood, say something about training.

I raise my eyebrow to Miss Smoak as if to ask her if I am allowed to watch.

'Yes, I think you can watch, I do that all the time, not that I watch them because I don't..' she trails of and I stand up and slowly walk to the back of the room.

The closer I come, the more noise I hear. Noise of wood hitting wood. This sort of material arts is called escrima , I remember.

I see a man with his back turned to me. It is marred with scars and he shows Mr. Diggle a move. It is a fast spin in which the stick is brought to the side to hit the opponent. The man shows him the move with something that can only be described as grace. Like one would watch a predator, it moves with grace and agility, but you still know that it is the most dangerous thing in the room. He was the predator.

'Okay, again'. That voice is very familiar.

'Queen?' I ask.

The man turns and it is, indeed, Queen.

'Hello detective', he smiles. This time it is a genuine smile.

'So I was right all along huh' I grumble.

'Yes, and I would like you to join the team…'
