Disclaimer: I do not own Arrow or anything DC comics related.

Inspired by the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (favorite Marvel film, by the way), this is a rewrite of Arrow season 4. And for those curious, this won't be an Olicity fan fic, though I do have some ideas in mind with the two!

Enjoy the read, let me know what you think.


It's been a month since the Green Arrow made his presence known in Star City and the crime rate is slowly slumming down. For a span of six months, the reports of robbery, theft and homicides have tripled but with the help of Star City's new hero, it's beginning to change.

Team Arrow have been working together sufficiently, sweeping, not only street level criminals but stopping some of the Ghosts from committing crimes. Last week, at a local jewelry store, the Ghosts had came in and were grabbing as much as they could.

One of the workers at the store pressed the alarm, alerting the police. Instead of the SCPD, the Green Arrow, Speedy, Black Canary and Spartan rushed to the scene and cleared the store out. They attempted to unmask the Ghosts too but they killed themselves with cyanide.

Fast forward to now, the team were in the foundry. Oliver, Laurel, Thea and John were all training, as Oliver wanted them to be able to move more faster to catch the Ghosts in time. He also was training them to become more alert with their surroundings, wanting to improve their senses to be able to know when something was off.

The three stood on the mat with blindfolds over their faces. Oliver was circling the group.

"This doesn't seem really fair." Thea complained.

"You don't just fight with your hands and eyes, Thea." Oliver replied.

"It's three of us and only one of him. Just be aware and anticipate him." John said to the others.

Oliver looked at Felicity and then back to the others. He moved in between them as they were beginning to spread out, feeling for Oliver.

Out of nowhere, Laurel felt something hit her in the back, from behind. She swung her arm back and Oliver ducked, responding with a knee to her ribs. Laurel groaned and this alerted Thea, who tried to follow the sound.

Seeing her coming, Oliver tripped her right into Laurel and the two fell over. He hopped up onto his feet and it was John left, who had his arms up in case Oliver was going to strike.

Oliver shot his arm out and John jumped back, beginning to move around. Oliver was impressed.

The others got back up onto their feet. Oliver then said, "Why do you think the Ghosts only attack in the dark? They know that a regular person can't see, they expect us not to."

"Yeah, yeah, just shut up and come at us!" Laurel yelled.

Oliver crept on Laurel but instead of attacking, he moved around more. Oliver moved around the others to test them and see if they'd sense him near. Laurel swung her elbow and accidentally hit Thea.

"Ow!" Thea yelped. She hit Laurel back, not knowing it was her.

"Argh!" Laurel replied.

The two started swinging at each other and ended up on the mat. John kept moving and tripped over them and fell face first. They began wrestling on the ground until Laurel took off her blindfold, seeing that it was actually Thea.

Thea took off hers and the two locked eyes. They looked up to see Oliver standing, holding back his laugh. John sat up and took off his and sighed.

"That's not funny, Ollie." Thea said.

"You're right, it's hilarious." Oliver replied before letting out a laugh.

Felicity joined in before she stopped, hearing the laptop beep. She ran over to it, as well as Oliver to see what it was. Incoming call from Amanda Waller. Seconds later, the face of Amanda Waller appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Oliver. Felicity." Amanda greeted.

"Any news on the mole? It's been a month since we've heard from you." Oliver asked.

"We've already detected the mole, two weeks ago. We had him interrogated but he won't budge; He even tried to kill himself but we stopped him."

"Darhk trained these guys good. Is there anything you want us to do?" John questions.

"That's why I'm calling, I need your help- Oliver's help, actually, since this is a job for him."

"Wait, what? You want Oliver to interrogate the mole for you?" Felicity asks. "Oliver doesn't interrogate."

"The Oliver you know doesn't. But the Oliver I know, the real Oliver, would."

The Team looked at Oliver and he sighed, looking back to the screen.

"Fine. I'll be there in a few minutes."

Oliver ended the call. When he looked up, all of his team members were staring at him.

"What?"

"You're serious about doing this, Ollie? And why does Amanda need you to interrogate him, why can't ARGUS do it?" Laurel asks.

"Amanda knows how brutal my interrogations can get. She's the one who taught me." Oliver answered.

"How brutal?" Felicity questioned.

"You'll just have to come and see.."
