Synopsis: Oliver, Felicity and Diggle meet Sam, Dean and Castiel in a remote forest town plagued by a bad guy whose slowly killing off townsfolk with arrows.

Author's Note: This is stand-alone and not connected to any season of either Arrow or Supernatural. Which means people may be alive in this that are not on the shows anymore... for I have become the Lazarus Pit.

More Important Author's Note: The town in this story is not, I repeat not, Shawinigan, QC. I have never been there nor have any desire to disrespect the good people of it. I just really really liked the name. I tried not to use it. I tried to come up with something better. Shawinigan it had to be.

"Harris Walters was found dead in an adirondack chair on the shores of Lake Blanchett this morning, three arrows sticking out from his chest. This is the second death in the small town of Shawinigan this month, with both victims being affiliated with Shawinigan Walter & Power. Harris Walters was husband to Alabaster Shawinigan, the oldest living heir to the dynasty, and current CEO of the corporation." Sam's eyes left the article to study the photo. It was of three police officers looking at the victim who sat, slumped over. The tips of the arrows were visible and Harris's left, bare foot, right arm and a half-full bourbon glass still sitting on the arm of the chair. Sam looked at Dean, "who shoots a guy with arrows from the water?"

"Hicks. Or disgruntled spirits of the forest who last appeared in oh, 1807."

Sam looked back down at the paper only to shift as the Chevy Impala lurched it's way from third to fourth gear. "You know this town is in the mountains..."

"I expect nothing less than the sidewinder."

"You're going to get it. It's called the Lake Blanchett Parkway. Eight miles of twisting, turning, narrow roads. You really think-?"

"If Nicholson can do it, I can do it. That's a life motto."

Sam nodded, "he wasn't in this..."

"You think they have 'The Shining' soundtrack on tape? I feel like you can't really do the drive without the creepy music. You know what, never mind, I got it. Zeppelin IV. Battle of Evermore. Yeah.. Creepy secluded mountain town, long drive, watery arrow guy. Life is good. Let's do this."

"Oliver, Digg take a look at this-"

Oliver and Diggle walked over from the training post to the screen Felicity was watching. "This second murder has left the Shawinigan Police Force worried that there may be a serial killer in this tiny town."

A police officer appeared on the screen, "yes, the two homicides have similarities but we are not prepared to state anything more than that."

The announcer came back on, "services for Harris Walters will be held Thursday at the Shaw-" Felicity turned off the screen. "That's death number two."

"Laurel said nobody there is even remotely suggesting it could be the Arrow," Oliver said.

"But they might, after another one. There's also the fact that there's a not-copy-cat-archer terrorizing a small town."

"You think we should go up there?" Diggle said.

"I think guys .. and girls .. with arrows are sort of our thing... and Shawinigan is still in the county, technically. Well not technically, or at all, but definitely the same state..."

Diggle looked at Oliver, "she has a point."

"We have enough to worry about here..."

"Lyla said she wanted to get out of town," Diggle said, ignoring Oliver.

Felicity smiled, "I bet they have a really cute bed and breakfast... I'll check."

Oliver looked down at Felicity, "Felicity, we should-"

"Sorry, you're outvoted. We're taking a road trip. Breathing fresh air. Seeing trees. Taking down evil guy. Besides, thanks to Myer 'I embezzle from hospital pensions and drug dealers' Warren, we have some extra funds. Perfect for a weekend away to help out our neighbors to the north and maintaining the good reputation of all bow and arrow-wielding people everywhere."

Oliver looked down at her and with a slight twitch of a smile at his lips, he nodded. They were going. Felicity beamed back at him and then looked at Diggle who gave her a wink.
