I smiled. And turned. Only to see my husband's head hitting one of the walls of the foundry.
"Robin!" I yell. I sighed. He laughed. How dock could be so calm when he was pinned to the wall forever escapes me.
"Is that the best you've got?" He said being the troll he was.
"Who are you? And how did you get in here?" Oliver asked.
"Not telling. Shouldn't I be asking the questions since you're the one pinned to the wall?" Dick asked.
"What are you talking ab— ughn" Dick had kneed him in the stomach and took his legs up from behind him and had his arm behind his back making Oliver successfully pinned to the wall. I sighed.
"Why does Dick have to be like Jason and Bruce in instances like this?" I mumbled. Dinah laughed. "Should we do something about that?" I asked.
"We could let them fight it out," Dinah suggested.
"Or you could get them to stop acting like they are in elementary school."
"OLIVER! Stop trying to kill my boyfriend. Robin Richard Haly, get over here, and start helping me with this virus problem!" I yell. Dick gives me a look at the name. I hold up five fingers, he gives a look of understanding. He was still on patrol when I called him obviously, since he was still in his full Nightwing uniform. He had a hoodie thrown over the top, but everything else was there.
"Yes, "Mis," Dick grins, cheekily. I glare at him. He knows how close he is.
"Who is he, and why is he here?" Oliver growled.
"He is one of the greatest living hackers of all time, and the only one who get here on such short notice," I said. "Oliver, Robin Haly, Oliver Queen."
"I would shake your hand, but Felicity is not someone to mess with this amount of weapons in the area," mumbled. He pulled an extension cord from his glove and plugged it into the computer, and turned on his holographic computer and started typing.
"Felicity are you going to explain how he got in here?" Oliver demanded.
"One, I did not give him the code. He is ten times smarter than I am, so he can get in no matter what I do to keep him out. Two. We need his help, and three. You and Roy need to get down to the riot a few blocks from here."
"We will stay here and try to figure out what is causing this," Dick said. He didn't seem all too thrilled with the fact. It's been a long time since he worked from the inside not out in the field.
Oliver
I know that this is going to sound awful, but there is something up with Felicity's boyfriend. He shows up out of pretty much nowhere. I react to any other intruder and attack him. This Robin kid pins me to the wall and has me in a hold that I can't break out of. I don't like him, he seems like someone who is always cheery but I have a feeling that that is just a mask.
Roy and I went to stop the riot. "Felicity? How's the progress coming?"
"Not well. It's going to take some time to trace it," Felicity told me.
"Trying to get to the coding is the only easy part," Robin Haly said. He cut off short. He was frozen for a second. "Hey, 'Mis?" he said, his voice shaky.
"What?"
"You remember in college when we were apart after Wally vanished for a few years, for the few months."
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Come here and look," he said.
"Oh, god. Oh god," she said.
"Felicity what did you find, did you track it, can you stop it?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I created it."
"Okay, before you say anything, I never intended it for this use. Robin and I had split for a few months after my best friend and partner was vaporized. He is still alive but he was gone for two years, and when Rob and I were split I got myself in with a boy. I was in a bad place, and cooper was there, him and his roommate. We were hacker activists, and were trying to make the world a better place. And I created this…super virus. Cooper was the one who used it, and he was caught and arrested."
"Where can we find this Cooper?" I asked.
"He didn't do it."
"You protecting your old boyfriend?"
"No, she isn't. He killed himself in the federal prison before trial," Robin said.
"I left after that. Robin helped me put that virus under lock and key, on one of the best computer software systems in the world."
"What about the roommate?"
"He destroyed the computer that held the virus on it. He didn't do it."
"Felicity. Is he trustworthy?"
"He gave up computers entirely. He works in an auto shop in Fawcett City," she told me. "Now, if you excuse me, I need to go check in on my mother. Make sure that my father hasn't made a house call." She walked out of the room crying. "Robin, I'll be back within the hour, if not. You know where to find me." They exchanged glances. Something was up. Once she was gone, I turned to Robin.
"I don't trust you." I said.
"I know. I got that vibe. Which is weird, because I am a very trustworthy person."
"You cannot tell anyone about me or this place."
"Why would I, Oliver? For one, 'Mis would have my head. For another, I know the importance of secrets remaining secret." He stared at me.
"Would you take those off? Really, they don't send me a good message," I said.
"Nope. Did you listen at all about identities thing?"
"Robin Haly isn't your real name is it?"
"Nope, but my grandfather figure is a Haly, and my mother used to call me Robin," he said. His phone buzzed. "UGH!"
"What's wrong?"
"Two words. Demon brother." He wrote something on his phone. Then it went off. He answered it. Screaming could be heard on the other end. "Timmy, put Dami on the phone. Damian, stop trying to kill Timmy. Where is Jason?" he then yelled, "What do you mean Jump City? Is he crazy? And B is off world? Just go to the Watchtower. Al will kill me later if you destroy anything else."
"How many brothers do you have?" I'd never heard a more confusing conversation. Di had slid away earlier.
"Three." We sat in silence then for a few hours. The only thing that even went off was his phone with Felicity checking in. his holographic watch went off around one in the morning. "No, no, no."
"What?"
"You need to get down to the warehouse district right now," he yelled. His voice wasn't carefree anymore. I turned to look at him, and he was gone.
Artemis
I really hate being kidnapped. Just my luck, Dick and I suspected that Cooper Seldon had been taken in by the CIA, a computer hacker was just what they needed. When I left the foundry, I had because I needed to contact Oracle. Babs could trace anything with the Delphi system, and she did. I'd suited up and left a few hours later. Only to be ambushed. I knew that I had activated the emergency alarm when it happened.
Sometimes Dick's protocols of uniform was rather helpful. I woke up tied to a chair, my arrows and bow were some yards away from me. I was almost weaponless.
"Well, well, well. Isn't it Artemis… or should I say Felicity Smoak?" Cooper was standing in front of me.
"The first was the only correct one. Felicity has always only been an alias," I said. "You wouldn't know that, because, you were never good enough to hack the Justice League were you?"
The look on his face told me that I was right.
"I was expecting you to be more shocked than that, Artemis," he said. I glared at him. He had nothing on me. "I thought I was so smart, I guess I still don't know who you are, or do I?" I scoffed. I never realized how pathetic he really was. Love would do that to you, I guess. "I was hoping that you would be more shocked. That your boyfriend was alive."
"My boyfriend is dead. The Cooper I knew, would never have done anything like this," I said. "But then again, he killed himself. You are just a pathetic twit, who jumped at the first get out of jail free card. Then escaped the confines of the CIA when he could to start robbing banks," I said. Fingering the knife in the hidden pocket of my pants.
"Like you wouldn't, Felicity, you were just. Like. ME!" he yelled.
"No, I wouldn't have, that would be becoming like my parents and my sister. I would have served my time, and gotten out when I had paid for my crimes!" I said.
"Your parents were what, thieves, or maybe arsonist, or hackers, at the worst. Why would you even think that you aren't like them," he spat. That made me angry. I've devoted my entire life to not becoming like them. I wouldn't become like them, I have people that know that, and someone who will save me.
"It doesn't matter what they were and or are. But I know exactly where you will find yourself," I said, using my knife to break out of the bonds, as Cooper was knocked off of his feet with a birdrang.
"Need some help, Arty?" Dick dropped down next to me. I grabbed my bow and quiver as quickly as possible.
"Not really, I had it handled," I said.
"Clearly," he said. "You take the dirt bag, I take the computers?" I nodded, quickly firing an arrow at Cooper who was trying to make his way towards the computer setup in the back. This time, I made sure that I had him pinned to the ground. He laughed.
"You think you're so funny?" I growled at him.
"Yes, you think you're the only one with back up?" he scoffed, and pressed a button, sounding off an alarm, causing a half dozen men surrounding Nightwing and I.
"You take the three on the left, you take the three on the right?" he asked. Smirking as he made his escape outside of the goons, Cooper went back to the computers. I nodded at my husband, and lunged at the nearest goon, shooting the one who tried to come up from behind me, the hitting the one in front of me with the bow. The third one rushed me, I flipped over him and shot him through the shoulder. Dick's last man fell to the ground just as mine did. I grinned.
"Never let me go this long without beating someone up again." I said.
"And you wonder why I am never home?" he said.
"Shoudent you be doing something about him?" I asked.
"3. 2. 1." Why was he so childish? There was an electrical shock at the system, and Cooper went down.
"You put in a electrical current when you turned stop the program."
"Yes, Artemis, I did."
"We should get out of here," I said. I looked him in the eyes. He grinned.
"Maybe you should stay put and tell me who you are." Oliver. Crud. My mind quickly came up with a lie.
Oliver
I watched the entire exchange, I was going to help the girl, but she broke out of the ropes that had her bound to the back of the chair, just as he was knocked to the ground by some sort of flying knife. A man dropped from the rafters. The girl grabbed a bow and quiver, she pinned the hacker to the ground. The man in black and blue did something to the computer systems before they took down six men that were almost twice their sizes.
"We should get out of here," the girl in green said. She reminded me a lot of Felicity, but it was clear that she wasn't
"Maybe you should stay put and tell me who you are," growled at them. They were trespassers in my city, they would tell me who they were.
"You are the infamous Arrow," the man in back said, he had a blue bird across his chest and was wearing a utility belt and a domino mask, "I am Nightwing."
The girl wearing a green crop top, pants and a mask. "Thanks for the introduction, I'm Artemis. He Cooper Seldon was a JLA threat, so we neutralized it. Now, if you excuse us, we need to go." She turned away. "Would you mind taking care of that?" she said, I looked to where she was pointing. The next time I looked, the pair was gone.
Felicity called the next morning saying that there had been a break in at her apartment, and that she was taking the day off to spend with her mom. There was no major damage or anything stolen. She didn't mention her boyfriend, just that he liked working with me.
There was something strange going on with her, but she wouldn't tell me anything. I was going to find out.
Then there was those two strange vigilantes, they were good, and knew what they were doing, and they did it with ease. I didn't trust them. Not one bit. But I would deal with them if they ever showed up again.
Part two up! Let me know what you think! –Delta
