It's been a long night. Or was it morning now? Well, it was past midnight. He came in through the window from his balcony, quickly followed by a beautiful, blonde-haired woman. "I've got to be at the watch tower first thing tomorrow, Ollie. No shutting off the alarm-clock before you go to bed this time!" Ollie, or Oliver Queen, Green Arrow, nodded his understanding and gave his girlfriend a cheeky smirk.
"If you say so Babe, but it's not my fault your such a heavy sleeper." Black Canary, known by most as Dinah Lance, playfully smacked Oliver on the arm.
"Goodnight, Ollie." she gave an exaggerated sigh and walked down the hallway to the master bedroom.
Instead of following her, like he wanted to, Oliver Queen took off his mask and made his way into the opposite direction to the kitchen; where leftover pizza from before the mission lay calling his name. It had been a league mission, consisting of himself, Black Canary, and Martian Manhunter. Placing a few pieces of pizza in the microwave, Oliver made his way to the master bedroom, his bedroom, to get changed. Dinah was already fast asleep under the covers. Smiling to himself, Oliver Queen grabbed his clothes and walked off to the bathroom to take a quick shower before getting changed.
About half an hour later, he was showered, changed, and fast asleep on the couch with the TV still on and a half eaten pizza on his chest.
"Ollie! Oliver wake up!" Dinah had had enough. It was a quarter past one, and Oliver was still sleeping on the couch. She had just come from the cave; where she was met with a frustrated bird, an equally frustrated and worried speedster, an upset kryptonian, an overwhelmed Martian, and an Atlantean trying to defuse the situation. Finally, Dinah slapped Oliver across the face and moved back just in time for Oliver to jump up. Ultimately falling off the couch in the process
"What the…" he looked over at her, cursing. "Dinah?!" he moved his left hand to his cheek, "I think that's going to bruise."
"Now is not the time Oliver." As he stood, Dinah placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "Artemis is missing."
For a second, Oliver Queen was at a loss. Shocked. He just stood there. Then, "What do you mean she's missing?!" he practically shouted. Not waiting for an answer, he walked off to his room. Dinah followed him, explaining the situation as he slipped on his uniform; she had hers on underneath her civvies.
"Apparently she and Wally had a fight this morning. They had a late night mission last night and so she stayed at the cave; seeing as how you, myself, and her mother forbade her from walking around Gotham late at night. Not that she always listens to us, anyway. I got to the cave for the teams regular training session, but when I got there Wally and Conner were arguing, Megan was trying to calm Conner down, Robin was typing away on his laptop, and Kaldur was trying to get a hold of the situation.
"They told me that Artemis had left a good 3 hours earlier, had not been answering her phone, and her mother had even called Wally because she was worried; making him worried." Oliver walked passed her, out of the room, and to the living room where he picked up some keys from the coffee table.
"Now, I'm not worried." Dinah started again, stopping Oliver from leaving the flat, "And you shouldn't be either. She can take care of herself and she's been gone much longer than this before. But, her moms worried. Artemis didn't call to let her know she was staying at the cave last night. I came to get you and let you know because maybe you know where she could be."
Oliver stopped moving for a minute, thinking of all the places she could possibly be. Finally, he nodded. "I might," he turned towards the door, placing his mask in his pocket (his suit was under his civvies) and grabbed his wallet, "I'll let you and the team know when I find her."
Dinah nodded, and followed him out. Following him down in the elevator, she parted ways with him at the lobby with a promise to see him later. She had to get back to the team and make sure they didn't kill each other (mainly Robin, Conner, and Wally).
