This is my first attempt at a story on here, i decided to write it after watching Justice and the season finale which really wasn't as good as i expected, but anyway, have a read and tell me what ya think. Thanks (:

And all charaters and rights and stuff belong to DC comics, okay, cool.

Luthor Mansion, Smallville

Lex Luthor stared in ore at the laptop screen in front of him, on it the video log of his latest 33.1 test subject, Bart Allen. It showed a red and yellow blur circling a cylindrical holding cell. Moving at such incredible speeds that his human features were invisible to the naked eye, the kid had continued non-stop for almost five hours before the footage mysteriously cut off and he escaped -with some help from that Green Archer and his band of freaks- and blew up the Ridge Facility.

Lex wanted to find the boy, speed like that could be harnessed into a powerful energy source and make him a lot of money or even better, a powerful weapon against the Green Arrow and his other accomplices who had spent the last 5 months destroying his "research" facilities across North and South America and bringing them down would be an added bonus.

Queen Industries, Star City

Meanwhile a few miles away, Oliver Queen sat very board in an apparently very important business meeting with the Queen Industries board of directors and potential partners S.T.A.R Labs. Unfortunately Oliver was sporting a rather nasty cut above his right eyebrow covered up with a Spiderman plaster, which only succeeded in getting him some very odd looks from the others around the table. He'd told them he had banged his head on a kitchen cupboard earlier that morning and in his haste that was the only plaster he could find.

In truth it had happened at a recent 33.1 infiltration mission in Argentina, which had been a little too close for comfort, Lex had been upping his security and what worried Oliver was that these new security measures seemed to be concentrated on taking down fast moving objects- or namely Impulse. The plaster, well that had been a dare by the guys, a sort of in-joke.

"Mr Queen, do you agree that that is a fair deal?" asked one of the older directors

Shit, what were they talking about, a new high speed telecommunications network or something…?

"Erm, yeah, sure, why not, heh" his response getting him a few raised eyebrows "can we, er continue this later? I've got a bit of a headache" he said pointing a finger at the plaster on his forehead. The others muttered words of acceptance and began to file out of the room.

Ollie pulled out his Blackberry and began planning the next 33.1 hit, he'd have to try and find a viable reason to take the Queen jet to a remote area of western Russia, the directors hadn't been too pleased when he took it to Scotland because there was an indoor climbing wall there he wanted to try- well that's what he'd told them anyway. And make it a weekend so the guys wouldn't miss school and college.

"Dude! The security in this place sucks!"

After being momentarily startled, Ollie quickly regained his composure. In front of his desk wearing that famed red hoodie, and donning a pair of sunglasses stood Bart Allen.

"Bart. What're you doing here, aren't you supposed to be in school?" Ollie enquired.

Bart shifted his weight, visibly uncomfortable "Boss-man, school sucks, Manchester sucks, way to quiet and I'm pretty sure Lex Luthor has people tailing me and spying on me, just waitin' for me to slip up then…" clapping his hands to add affect "BOOM! You'll never see me again! I'll be off the grid! And you'd feel totally guilty"

Ollie raised an eyebrow "Bart, I'm fully aware that Lex has people following you, my people are following his people and I'm quite certain he's worked out I'm the one paying all your living expenses in quiet little Manchester."

Giving him a confused look Bart said "But couldn't that lead him to working out you're Green Arrow as he knows that's who Impulse works for?"

"Nah, Lex is too narrow minded for that, thinks I'm an airhead, he either thinks I'm oblivious to your speedy alter-ego or that I'm fully aware and plan to turn you in to some massive power source or something…" He said quite seriously.

Bart looked slightly worried "wait, you wouldn't do anything like that right?"

Ollie smirked at him "Only if Clark accidently blows up one of my geo-thermal power stations and we need emergency power or something…but I don't see that happening so don't look so worried"

"But seriously Ollie, d'you reckon there's a chance he'll go after me in Manchester?"

Looking him straight in the eye, Ollie said "no Bart, it would be too much of a risk for him to take down a seemingly normal school student, he wouldn't be able to do it quietly and there'd be a massive uproar from Queen Industries for kidnapping an innocent civilian for no obvious reason."

Bart clearly relaxed "Thanks man" he said with a smile before disappearing momentarily out of the room, Ollie hated lying to the kid but it was good to see him at ease. The truth was Lex had been acting more and more irrational recently, he seemed to be obsessing more over capturing Impulse then he was about finding out who the Green Arrow really was, and that worried Oliver. It made Lex harder to predict and Bart more venerable to attack at home as well as on the job.

Maybe it would be better to move Bart back to Star City, or maybe Smallville, he'd be safe with Clark, but then Lex was already suspicious of Clark, the sudden arrival of a wanted meta-human would only add to these suspicions and could put Clarks loved ones at risk, but to be fair that seemed to be a common occurrence in Smallville. Man, I guy could get an ulcer thinking about this.

Wait, where was Bart anyway? Probably flirting with the new receptionist downstairs or something thought Ollie, better go and find him before he caused some sort of trouble decided Ollie.

Okay, so that was chapter 1, in later chapters i'm gonna try and bring in more elements from the DC comicverse (:
