Star City bank June 2nd

"Team we have a hostage situation, 21 hostages including the bank staff and 5 robbers. They've lined the hostages up against the windows which renders our snipers useless." Chief Godfrey explained the situation to Star Cities s.w.a.t division.

"Any suggestions?" the man asked sarcastically. "I have one" Kaldur Manta spoke up. "We split into two teams, one enters through the back door, one through the side door. We carefully and silently take out each of the robbers guarding the doors and get into position inside the bank, when we get a clear shot on the robbers we take it." Kaldur explained his plan.

"And that is why you're team leader. Take Grayson, West and Harper with you through the side door. The rest go through the back." Godfrey ordered.

With a wave of his hand Kaldur ordered his team towards the side door. The four of them stopped either side of the door, Dick kneeled at the bottom of the door and slipped a thin video camera underneath it.

"I see 1 man roughly a metre ahead of the door" Wally explained what he could see on the cameras monitor.

"On three Dick slip inside and put the man down, silently. Roy, Wally find a way onto the main floor of the bank and lay low. Don't do anything without my command." Kaldur ordered.

Kaldur was a well respected leader, the rest of the s.w.a.t team trusted him with their lives.

"One...two...three" On three Dick slipped passed the door and took down the guard. "I swear that guys secretly a ninja" Wally whispered to Kaldur, "I have the same suspicions my friend" Kaldur replied.

Wally and Roy slipped through the door and hid behind a solid wood desk near the cashier tills, Dick and Kaldur did the same opposite them. "We have to take these guys out now!" Roy whispered angrily. "We have our orders, we wait for a signal" Wally replied frustrated at his fellow red heads impatience.

"Silencers on, sniper rifles out. On my signal take out the two bank robbers on the left." Kaldur's voice crackled through the teams ear pieces.

Wally and Roy armed their rifles and attached their silencers. From the corner of their eyes they could see Kaldur as he counted down from three on his fingers, on three Wally and Roy fired a single shot each. The two shots hit their targets and the robbers fell to the floor a quite thud sounded around the room.

"What the hell?!" this spooked the other robber as he realised he was the last one standing. In a panic the man grabbed the nearest hostage, a young woman who looked like she worked at the bank.

"Team do not engage, we wait for a better angle before we take him out" Kaldur ordered. "What are you doing?!" Wally whisper yelled at Roy when he noticed that roy was lining up a shot. "My job" Roy replied before he pulled the trigger. The bullet ripped through the hostages shoulder and into the robbers chest, both went down quickly.

Police officers rushed in and began to escort the hostages outside to the waiting paramedics.

Outside the bank...

"What the hell?!" Wally yelled as Roy walked up to him. "I was doing my job!" Roy yelled back. "Friends, this is not the time or place to do this. I fear that Godfrey's going to give us hell when we get back to the station" Kaldur said, yet again the voice of reason.

"You can say that again Kal, the chief looks like he wants to kill us" Dick said, he couldn't help but cringe at the glare his boss was sending the group.

"You are incredibly lucky Harper!" Godfrey shouted at Roy. "The young woman that you shot should be ok according to paramedics" "You're all to make your way to the station now, I want to see you all in my office" Godfrey growled.


Star City PD...

"I swear to god Roy I am not loosing my job because of you" Dick moaned outside of Chief Godfrey's office. "You're not going to lose anything, your Dick Grayson. Son of the great Bruce Wayne, s.w.a.t legend" Roy taunted. "Shut up Roy, we all love this job" Wally defended his best friend.

"Manta, I want a word. Alone" Godfrey pointed a finger and beckoned for Kaldur to come into his office. "Good luck man" Dick said as Kaldur walked into Godfrey's office and closed the door.

"Take a seat. Look Kaldur I like you, but today was one hell of a screw up" Godfrey started, "Sir, I gave the order to wait until there was a clear shot. Roy disobeyed orders." "So today was Harpers screw up? I've always had a problem with that kids attitude."

"Sir, today was a team fail and the responsibility falls to me. This was my mistake" Kaldur explained calmly. "Thank you for your statement Kaldur, please send in West and Grayson" Godfrey dismissed Kaldur.

"How'd it go in there?" Wally asked as Kaldur exited Godfrey's office. "I do not know what the chief has planned for us, however I fear that it is not good. He wants to see you and Dick" Kaldur replied. Dick and Wally begrudgingly stood up and walked into Godfrey's office.

"Grayson, West. Take a seat" Godfrey said as he motioned towards the two empty chairs opposite him.

Dick and Wally shared a worried look before they sat down. "I'll be honest with you, this does not look good. Your team shot a hostage today, someone needs to get thrown under the bus for this."

It was fair to say that the chief looked pissed, he tried to keep his cool but failed epically.

"Sir we didn't shoot that hostage, we followed Kaldur's orders to the letter" Dick explained. The chief had a look on his face that told the two that he was thinking the situation over.

"If you two go on record saying what happened, and that is was Roy who shot the hostage then Roy takes the fall which is rightly his to take" Godfrey explained. "You want us to sell out our partner?" Wally asked, shocked.

"I just need you to go on record stating that this was Roy's screw up" Godfrey told the two. "I'm sorry sir but we can't do that, we have a code here at s.w.a.t" Dick said, the two waited for Godfrey to snap.

"Fine, since you two are two of the best since the day's of Wayne and Queen, I'm demoting the two of you to the gun cage. Maybe one day you can work your way back into this unit, give me your badges and guns and get out of my office"

The two boys turned in their badges and guns and left the office. "Thanks asshole" Wally murmured as the two walked past Roy and towards the locker room where Kaldur was waiting for them.

"Harper, my office now!" Godfrey's voice boomed down the hallway.

Dick and Wally found Kaldur in the locker room. "What did the chief say?" Kaldur asked. "He demoted us to cage duty because we wouldn't throw Roy under the bus" Wally explained, "I'm starting to wish we had now" Dick said a bitter tone in his voice.

"So what was your punishment?" Wally asked as he sat down next to Kaldur, "I don't believe that I got one" Kaldur answered.

"We're happy for you Kal" Dick said as he put a hand on his friends shoulder. "I will do everything in my power to get you back on s.w.a.t I promise, I shall also come visit you in the gun cage" Kaldur said politely before he stood up and walked away.

"I'm feeling chinese tonight" Dick said now that it was just Wally and him left, "that's if Linda will allow it anyway" Dick sniggered at the thought of Wally's girlfriend.

"Don't even go there Dick" Wally warned, "dude, why are you even with her. Anyone who knows you can see your not happy." "Honestly man, I don't even know. She acts like she hates me" Wally answered.

The two of them drove to their large Star City apartment, when they got back they were greeted with the sight of a large white van. "What's going on?" Wally asked nervously, "I'm leaving" Linda said, her nose in the air as she loaded another box into the van.

"Ok...may I ask why?" Wally asked less nervous and more irritated. "The only thing you love Wallace West is your stupid job, there is no way that I come second to a job!" Linda was angry now, she slapped Wally and climbed into the van.

Dick and Wally looked on with shocked faces. "Dude what the hell just happened?" Wally asked a shocked look on his face, "I'm pretty sure Linda just broke up with you and moved out of our apartment" Dick answered, a smile crept onto his face.

"Dude! You're free!" Dick exclaimed "free? I'm actually free!" Wally fist pumped the air. "You order the chinese and I'll set the xbox up" Wally said as he raced into his apartment.


Star City PD June 3rd

Dick and Wally were on shift in the gun cage. "Remind me again why we're stuck in here?" Dick asked frustrated. "Because Roy's a massive douche who can't follow simple orders" Wally fired back also extremely frustrated.

"Hey gays, how's it going?" a cold voice taunted them through the cage. "I'll need a full gun check and clean as well as my boots polished and ready for later today."

"Piss off Cameron" Wally snapped, "I expect them ready in no more than 2 hours" Cameron sneered before he walked off.

"I swear to god that guy is an ass hole" Wally cursed, "You're not the only one man, what I'd give to punch that guy straight in the face" Dick added. Neither of them could understand it but Godfrey loved Cameron, for some reason the chief just loved ass holes. Maybe it was because he was one himself.

Both boys were busy checking all of the guns and shining all of the boots when they heard a voice from the front of the cage.

"You two know where I can find a driver and a guide for the day?"

The two turned to find Oliver Queen Standing in front of the gun cage. "I'm sure you'll find one in the yellow pages sir" Dick answered a smirk on his face. Oliver Queen was legendary amongst s.w.a.t, Queen and Bruce Wayne were the people that students in the academy aspired to be.

Bruce Wayne was known for his play boy ways and his strict attitude, where as Oliver Queen was known for his sense of humour and impeccable aim.

"So what will it be? I'm sure your both dying to get out of the cage" Queen said as he banged on the side of the gun cage. "I'm in" Wally said as he put down the boots he was shining, "I'm in too" Dick said.

"I'm driving" Wally said as he took the keys from Oliver.

"So where too?" Wally asked Dick sat in the passenger seat and Oliver sat with his feet up in the back of the patrol car.

"The Glades" Oliver answered nonchalantly. "Damn that's rough" Dick answered "Why exactly do you need a driver and a guide?" Wally asked from the front. "I'm recruiting, coming back to s.w.a.t to lead a new team. I already have one, there are five more spots to fill." Oliver answered.

"How come you two ended up in the cage then? I've looked through your records and you were two of the best that s.w.a.t had to offer" Oliver asked.

"Long story short our partner screwed up and shot a hostage, we refused to let him take the fall for it and we paid with our badges" Wally answered. They pulled up to the glades to see a police chase in motion. A scrawny looking criminal was being chased by a large well built police officer.

"Go after them" Oliver said urgently from the back seat. Wally reversed the car out of the alley and followed the chase.

"Cut down 42nd street we can head them off" Oliver ordered. Wally hit the gas the criminal ran right into the hood of the car.

"Stay down!" the police officer shouted as he caught up with the criminal.

"Thank you but I didn't need your help" The officer snapped. "I like your attitude kid, the name's Queen. I want you on my s.w.a.t team"

"Excuse me?" the officer temporarily looked shocked. "You like long hours, crappy working conditions and low pay?" "Why else would I be a cop? You're serious about this?" The officer couldn't quite believe what he was hearing.

"Welcome to s.w.a.t officer Kent, you start training in tomorrow at the police academy." "Thank you sir" officer Kent nodded before he loaded the criminal into his squad car.

"Two spots filled four to go, we have two more stops today. Next stop the upper side of Star City" Oliver said excitedly.

The officer in the posher area of Star City was a joke. "So officer...Dorado, hotdog?" Oliver offered. "No thank you sir, meat is murder" the officer replied. "What kind of man doesn't eat meat" Oliver grumbled to Dick and Wally.

The rest of the interview was a bust. "Where to next sir?" Wally asked sarcastically. Star City hospital" Oliver answered a tinge of anger in his voice. "The hospital sir?" Dick asked curious to hear the mans answer.

"Two of our officers have been admitted with minor injuries following an arrest in the glades, I want them on my team." Oliver answered, the concerned look on his face didn't go unnoticed by the two boys.

When they arrived at the hospital Oliver marched up to the desk. "Officers Queen and Zatara, which room?" "room b07" the receptionist answered.

"I didn't know you had a son" Dick said curiously. "I don't" Oliver answered before the three of them entered the hospital room.

There sat on a hospital bed were two young females both with their shirts off as the doctors patched them up. "Artemis, Zatanna how are you both feeling? You look like hell" Oliver said pulling the blonde into a hug. "You should see the other guys" Artemis joked as the two put their shirts back on.

"I want you both on s.w.a.t, training starts tomorrow" Oliver told them. The girls looked shocked for a moment before they composed themselves.

"We'll never make s.w.a.t, Godfrey hates us" Zatanna snapped. "Why does Godfrey hate you?" Dick asked, "because we're female, Godfrey feels that females aren't up to the same standards as males and therefore shouldn't be on a s.w.a.t. Team" the blonde answered.

"Another reason why you should accept. Come on baby girl, the two of you love to piss of chief Godfrey don't let me down now" Oliver pleaded. "Please tell me you're not doing this because we're family" Artemis said a sad look in her eyes.

"Im offering you these places because you sure as hell deserve them. You work incredibly hard, you have the skills and you both fight harder than most men" Oliver reasoned.

"Then we graciously accept your offer, do they come with the job?" Zatanna said, she winked at Dick causing Artemis to chuckle. "Yes Zatanna they come with the job, remember training starts at the academy tomorrow" Oliver said as they the three men left the room.

"Don't get any ideas West, I caught you eyeing up my daughter" Queen said as he eyed the red head. Wally looked like he wanted to die, "I'm joking kid, she's a big girl now just know that she deserves the best" Oliver said before leaving the hospital.

They drove back to the station in a comfortable silence.

"So I have two spots left...know anyone who might be interested in working s.w.a.t?" Oliver asked a taunting tone to his voice. "Are we playing games sir?" Wally asked "No games, I know that you two still have the bug. You wouldn't be wasting away in the gun cage if you didn't want to return to s.w.a.t one day."

"Are you making us an offer sir?" Dick asked, "I have one question for you both...did you sell out your partner to Godfrey?" Oliver asked a serious tone to his voice.

"No we didn't. If we had we'd still be on s.w.a.t right now" Wally answered matching Oliver's serious tone.

"Very well, how would you two like to be on s.w.a.t again? The places are yours if you want them" Oliver offered. "Godfrey would never ok it" Dick said a look of defeat on his face. "You leave Godfrey to me, I want you both on my team" Oliver snapped. "Then we accept" Dick said as both boys shook his hand.

Godfrey's Office

"Absolutely not! Those two are off of s.w.a.t for a reason, and those two are women. No I will not pass of this team!" Godfrey shouted angrily at Queen. "I tell you what, give me my team. If they fail it's all on me. They fail and you get to tell me you told me so and I'll leave s.w.a.t forever" Oliver bargained.

"Fine, you've got your team. I await your resignation when they fail Queen, oh and Mahkent joins too" Godfrey snapped.

"We'll see..." Queen mumbled before he left the office to prepare for the next day, the day he'd get his team.


I love S.W.A.T as a film and hope that I did it justice, hopefully you all enjoyed it :) let me know...please no hate mail though, constructive criticism is more than welcome
