Star City was dark and had very little light in some places, only the street lights and moon giving light. Most of Star City's people are safe at home, without being in danger from the criminals that the Green Arrow fights. Star City holds lots of businesses and corporations such as Queen Consolidated, Merlyn Global Group, Kord industries, Lord Mesa Bakery, a S.T.A.R labs storage facility, Verdant, Poison, City Hall, Nodell Towers and the Arrowcave.
The Arrowcave is the headquarters for Team Arrow. It houses Oliver's equipment and suit as well as the gear for the rest of the team that has a suit.
Oliver in his Green Arrow suit was sparring with John in the Arrow cave. Thea was sat with Felicity and Laurel watching the two boys spar. Roy walked in, slamming the metal door behind him.
"What's up with him?" Thea asked Laurel and Felicity.
They shrugged in response and watched him take his anger out on the table.
"Stop destroying stuff, no one needs to deal with your anger" Oliver said.
"Neither does anyone else about your anger" Roy argued.
Roy stormed out the cave and onto the streets into darkness.
"I'm gonna go find Roy" Thea exclaimed.
They all looked at her then continued with what they're doing. Thea stood up from her chair and walked up the stairs and opened the door. She closed the door and walked into the nightclub called verdant.
Oliver originally wanted verdant to be named after himself, "Queens". He then chose the name "Verdant" which means green.
Thea continued to walk to find Roy. She found him sitting outside the club staring into space.
"Are you okay?" Thea asked.
"Huh? Oh, yeah... I'm fine" Roy lied.
"What's really wrong, I know your lying" Thea replied.
"I just got pissed off by a person on the streets, that's it" Roy replied.
"Ok, want to come back in?" Thea said "I've brought cake"
"Sure, why not" Roy smiled and got up.
They both walked into Verdant and into the Arrowcave. When they walked in everyone was still there. Everyone was crowded around Felicity and looking at the computer screen.
"We've got a lead" Oliver said.
He then walked over to his compound bow and put his quiver, with his arrows in, on his back. He then pulled this hood over his face.
"Suit up" Oliver said.
Oliver, John, Laurel, Thea and Roy stood on the street next to Queen Consolidated.
"Who are we after?" John asked.
"A woman. She goes by the name Cheshire" Oliver said.
"Whats she look like?" Roy asked.
"She is 5'6, has thick black hair, brown eyes, she's Vietnamese, she wears a dark green kimono, has black knee-high boots, she wears a white mask resembling a cat's head with red stripes and a wide grin" Oliver explained " She is an assassin for the league of assassins"
"Any other things about Cheshire that you would like to add before we find her?" Roy asked.
"Yeah, She has a true killer's instinct and is willing to go to any means necessary to accomplish her goals, whether it be through attacks, murder, or blackmail. She treats her opponents like a cat would treat a mouse, allowing herself to be involved in playful banter to a small extent. She actually enjoys the prospect of killing, but she is not without her own sense of duty, following the orders of her masters to the letter, despite how easy it would be for her to ignore them" Oliver explained.
"How have you found out all of this information about her?" John asked.
"I found out about her a while ago and was digging into the files about her and the murder cases about the people she's murdered" Oliver explained.
"And we didn't know about this because?" Roy asked.
Before he could answer, mysterious shadow ran past them. They looked towards the person but they were gone.
"She's on the roof" Laurel said.
Oliver, Thea and Roy shot arrows to the roof so they can use it as a grapling hook to get up.
"Spartan, Black Canary, You go through the building, we will start without you" Oliver said.
They nodded and ran through the building. The three archers got to the roof and surrounded Cheshire.
"It's about time you arrived. I was wondering if you would show" Cheshire said, her mask staring right at them.
"Surrender now Jade or we will bring you down" Oliver said.
Cheshire, shocked for a second how he knew her name, smiled under her mask and stepped closer to Oliver.
"If you know me then it will be you that surrenders" She said.
Cheshire reached to her sides and grabbed her weapons. Her weapon of chose is her Sai's. She gripped her Sai's and threw one of them at John and Laurel who only just made it to the roof.
As everyone looked to see where the sai went, Cheshire made her exit across the roof tops.
"Cheshire's getting away" Roy said, chasing after the assassin.
"Arsenal!" Thea called out but it was too late, he was gone.
"Speedy, Go after Arsenal. Spartan, Black Canary follow me. We are needed somewhere else. Felicity has got another lead, someones killing the cops at the SCPD" Oliver said.
Thea nodded and chased after Roy. Oliver, Laurel and John quickly ran through Queen Consolidated to the streets where they ran for the SCPD.
Roy went after Cheshire, leaping across the buildings. Soon the buildings came to an end as the street ended.
"End of the line Cheshire" Roy called out.
"Thats where your wrong. I'm exactly where I need to be" Cheshire replied.
A confused Roy pulled back the string on his bow with an arrow ready to fire. Before he could do anything, Cheshire walked forward and stabbed him with her other sai, not to kill him though. Cheshire smirked as she saw Thea. Cheshire pulled out a flash bomb and threw it onto the floor, causing a bright flash, which enabled her escape with an unconcious Roy.
"Damn. Ollie's not gonna like this" Thea said to herself.
Oliver, Laurel and John arrived at the SCPD quickly. they walked in seeing the police kneeling on the floor. around them lay a couple of murdered cops. luckily, Laurels father Quentin Lance was one of those who was alive. Laurel spotted him and sighed in relief. They walked into the room. Oliver which his bow up, arrow ready to fire, Laurel had her beau staffs and John had his guns.
"Drop the guns now!" Oliver shouted to the men with masks on.
They froze, obviously not expecting this. Most of the men dropped their guns and surrendered. The other few pointed their guns at them and shot at them. Oliver dodged them easily and knocked out the men. Laurel and John dodged them as well. One bullet just about scratched the side of Laurels arm.
The cops stood up and arrested the men, thanking the three heroes.
They walked out and went back to the arrowcave.
"Thea has some thing she wants to tell you" Felicity said to Oliver, Laurel and John.
"Wheres Roy?" Laurel asked, seeing no Roy in the cave.
"I found Roy but Cheshire knocked him out and used a flash bomb and got away, with Roy" Thea explained.
Oliver put his bow on the table and looked at Felicity.
"You think you can locate them?" Oliver asked her.
"Why do you even have to ask" Felicity said as she turned to her computer.
