"Malcom Merlyn is Thea's father!?" Dick asked in horror of what he was just told .His girlfriend is the daughter of a super villain. "I know it's alot to take in all at once" Oliver was attempting to get him to chill out , he was almost as shocked by this as Thea was when she found out. "Also don't mention it to her on your date . please." he continued "it'll be kinda weird"
"Yeah like I was gonna say 'oh so your father's a mass murderer!'" Dick said sarcastically " I gotta go " he added as he walked up the stairs " Where to?" Asked Barry "as far as I know you have no life out side of your day job, vigilantism and a really nice girl." Dick chuckled " I am doing vigilantism just left most of my stuff at my apartment" he stopped " oh I also told Thea you and Iris would come with us for a double date , its tomorrow by the way at the coffee shop you always used to talk about 1:30 A.M"
About a hour later Dick was perched on the rooftop of Palmer Technologies . He took a second to take in the moment. Him about to bring justice without someone telling him what to do, although he did call over Roy and Laurel to helphim out , but they're not his boss. He could tell they arrived , they were awfully loud " I was beginning to think that you weren't coming." He remarked " actually we're right on time." Laurel pointed out shooting him an "I told you so" kind of grin. Dick checked the time on his mask's display " Oh, so you are" he replied " ok I've called you here to track down this guy" he said opening a hologram on his wrist mounted computer as Roy and Laurel looked in awe "Oh you're looking at this is a custom state of the art-" Dick began before being cut off by Roy "Just show us the guy we're lookin' for " he said getting extremely impatient with his amount of tech. "Ok then here's the guy " Dick sighed projecting a profile of the criminal " His name is Slade Wilson and hes got a sweet eye patch." Roy and Laurel looked at each other then at Dick "He was the one that plunged Starling into chaos." Laurel pointed out " I know now he's back and hes.." Dick began before his device started beeping " Ok one of his hechmens about to kill someone else, let's go!" He ordered, leaping off the building then gliding down with his wing suit where as Laurel and Roy had to slowly grapple down as Roy looked at the wing suit " I really gotta get me one of those " he said grinning
"Tell me about it " Laurel responded.
When they arrived at the crime scene Dick was fighting what at first they thought was just one guy but turned out to be 3 of Slades soldiers. They jumped down and fought one of them each with Roy shooting one in the shoulder with an impact arrow, knocking them back. Laurel was swiftly dodging all the attacks delivering blows to the abdomen of the attacker. Dick was leaping off walls delivering devastating kicks to the head until he was countered when he suddenly sprayed a green gas at he thug , making him go seemingly insane. Arsenal and Canary finished up with their opponents and Canary said " you're gonna need to explain alot" Dick took a step back and tied up the mercenaries. "About what?" He asked "What's that gas and who are these people?" Roy replied"well that gas is called fear gas, long story" he began "and these guys are people who work for Deathstroke and they've been committing the same crime with the same circumstances for a while now" he said the he crouched next th the thugs and said "haven't you? Asshats" as he said this they sent a 911 call to the police and grappled away.
