"Just give me five minutes and I will be on my way back to you, I promise."

Chloe smiled as she watched the live feed from Oliver's glasses on the Watchtower's monitors. "That's what you said an hour ago. It seems as though the criminals of Metropolis have no respect for our dinner reservations."

"It does seem that way."

She looked down at her dress. He had left it for her at Watchtower earlier that day, telling her to put it on for their 'date' that night. She had expected the contents to be green, but was pleasantly surprised by the red dress. She had never been bought a dress before and she would only admit it to herself that she found it very intimate that he had - and that she loved it.

"Maybe we should cancel, I'll just order in some Thai food and we can just spend the rest of the evening in. We can head out another night."

"Hold that thought. I have some suspicious looking activity here in suicide slums."

Chloe looked at the monitor. Six men were standing around the back of an open truck loaded with boxes.

"Strange time to be doing business deals don't you think?"

"Strange time, strange place." Chloe looked closer at the live feed "I'm thinking those electrical goods in the back are stolen. At least three of those guys are armed."

"Okay, you want to call the police? I'll have these guys rounded up by the time they get here. Initiating radio silence."

She looked up at her other monitor. It seemed as though Clark had decided to patrol tonight too. "Will do Arrow. Boy Scout has just come online, I'll send him over to assist." She sent out the call to the Metropolis Police Department before patching into Clark.

"Boy Scout, Arrow is in suicide slums, could probably use your assistance."

"Does he really, or are you just interested in that date he promised to take you on tonight?" Clark replied

"Someone needs to tell my cousin to keep her mouth quiet." Chloe grinned. "But you may be right about my intentions"

"No problem, I'll head over there now. You'll owe me one."

She snorted an un-lady like laugh "Sure, no problem."

She glanced over at Oliver's live feed. It seemed that he had successfully knocked out four of the armed men and was currently sheltering from gunfire. "You may want to kick in that super speed there. Arrow isn't bullet proof and they have him pinned down."

Chloe stood up from her seat. To this day she was still nervous guiding Oliver through his patrols. Extremely talented he may be, but he wasn't invincible. As soon as she finished her thought Oliver's live feed cut out. Panic coursed through her gut as she tried to bring the images back up.

"Arrow? Are you there? Come in Arrow!" There was no response

"Clark! Something's happened! I've lost his feed."

There were brief sounds of struggle from Clark's comm. "I've got him 'tower, he's out cold. I'm taking him straight to Met Gen, there's blood…he's injured his head."

"I'll meet you there." Chloe was already picking up her bag and racing to the door. Thank God he was alive.
