Chapter 1- Arrow

Oliver Queen had spent many of the last few nights thinking about Chloe. No not Chloe, she wasn't really Chloe anymore. Chloe smiled when the team walked into Watchtower, she would giggle when Bart hit on her, and Chloe was an angel. Oliver dreamt of the angry woman whose voice would scream in his ear when Arrow made a wrong turn during a mission. Sometimes Oliver wondered if Chloe still existed. Oliver's dreams had been of Chloe, she had looked at him with the smile Oliver hadn't seen since before she married Jimmy, then her face would cover in tears and Watchtower's voice would say, "Why, Oliver? It's your fault." And Oliver would wake in a cold sweat.

Then sitting on the edge of his bed, Oliver's mind would turn to that fateful day, he offered Jimmy a job doing favors for Oliver and the League. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Clark's plan didn't go so well. Besides betraying the League and everything they stood for Chloe used that damned piece of kryptonite and let loose a monster much worse than Doomsday. It turned out Oliver was right about Davis truly being a murderer. Jimmy Olsen died knowing the truth about Clark and Chloe, but he died because Oliver had gotten him involved. That was the point each night Oliver would grab one of the many bottles of liquor in his apartment

Part of Oliver blamed Chloe; she went rouge, because she thought she could save Davis. Oliver would have killed the man himself if he had gotten the chance, but she fooled them all and took him out of town. Another part of Oliver blamed Clark, he was the reason Davis was in Metropolis. He listened to Chloe, because he didn't send the Beast into the Phantom Zone, and more so because he gave Chloe that stupid idea with the kryptonite. Oliver had yet to confront Clark, but it was coming. Oliver wouldn't have even known that Clark was still alive if not for Clark's sweet little note:

Oliver, I'm done, going off the grid. Don't try to find me. I'm looking for Lois, and then I'm gone. – Kal El

Kal El, Oliver was ticked. It was bad enough he was leaving, but he was renouncing his humanity too. It killed Oliver inside for the first two months while Lois was gone. He knew she was planning on meeting the Red Blue Blur that night, in the middle of Metropolis' worst disaster since Black Thursday, which was before Oliver moved here.

Of course last week when Lois reappeared, so did Clark Kent, now he was acting like dropping off the planet for months was no big deal. Oliver knew none of the team; especially Chloe had forgiven him for that yet. But the crime rate dropped severely once Lois wrote, "The Blur is Back" so Clark was at least hero-ing. Oliver wished he knew what happened to Lois, but she seemed to be amnesiac. Emil Hamilton, the League's full time physician, had run every test he could think of, but he told Oliver waiting was the best plan at this point.

Tonight, just like every other night Oliver's blood alcohol content was pushing maximum, but unlike every other night the team was supposed to be infiltrating a Luthor Corp. warehouse. This one Oliver Queen, the current CEO was not able to gain access to. So Watchtower set up this mission, mostly because things were slow, and you never knew when one of Lex's old secrets was lurking below the surface.

Dressed as the Green Arrow, Oliver stopped at the coordinates Tower had sent him 10 minutes before. He stuck to the shadows waiting for the others; from where he stood he could see the heavy guard patrolling around the building. "Tower, heavy protection around the perimeter" Oliver slurred into his com link.

"Arrow, wait for Canary and Impulse before proceeding." Chloe quietly replied.

Less than a minute later Canary dropped from the building above him. "Arrow, you ready?" she asked smirking at the blond billionaire.

"No action without Impulse" Tower commanded into their ears. But less than a second later Impulse appeared before the twosome, with a burrito in his hand. "Yo Aqui, Senorita."

"Arrow and Canary take out the perimeter and Impulse check if we can take the easy way in or if we'll have to use Canary's special gifts to gain access." Tower explained as she watched from her tower in the middle of Metropolis, using Queen Industry satellites.

The mission went smoothly, the trio even got to walk in through the front door, but Oliver's blood went cold the second they reached their destination. Chloe had guided them toward the room with the most action on her theoimagring screen. Unfortunately, none of them could have guessed what would be waiting for them in the center of the warehouse.
