The air was cold as Nightwing and Speedy lept from building to building. The wind was blowing in their faces."You didn't tell me this was so fun!" Thea smiled as they were risking their lives with every jump.

"It's not as fun if you know it'll be!" Dick replied before he stopped. His mini computer had begun beeping "Thea, follow me"

"Where?" She asked

"I'll explain later, c'mon" Dick said as he grappled away. They eventually reached the place. The second to last murder in the chain. Dick and Thea dropped down before realising that they were outnumbered five to two. When suddenly Green Arrow, Black Canary and Arsenal came from behind the mercenaries to even the odds. "Don't question it" Green Arrow said " Just fight" he continued as all of them began combat with the attackers. After defeating the mercenaries the five of them made thier way to a nearby rooftop. Oliver walked towards Dick." What are you thinking bringing Thea into this?" He questioned furiously.

"She can handle herself fine" he responded

"That's one time" Oliver said" how would she handle herself against someone with mirikuru?"

"It won't come to that" Dick scowled

"You don't know that" Oliver replied

"I'm her boyfriend, when does my say outweigh yours?" Dick asked

"When your more than that" Oliver began"when you vow to spend your life with her, to protect her"

"Alright , I'm sorry" Dick sighed " meet me at the foundry in one hour,it's about the case" he continued before heading over to Thea "You did pretty well out there" he said

"I know right" she said " I kicked that guy's ass"

"I wanna explain what's going on here" he said

"Sure go ahead" she said

"There's been a series of recurring crimes in various cities" Dick began" in Starling there's been murders and there counting down to something."

"To what?" Thea asked

"I don't know" Dick said " but I was planning on attempting to protect all of the cities involved"

"How?" Thea asked

"Green Arrow would protect Starling, Arsenal would go to Keystone, Canary to Park City, The Flash would cover Central and we would go to Blüdhaven" he explained

"How long would we be there for?" She asked

" 'Bout a week" Dick replied

"Alright I just need to tell my brother then we can pack up" Thea said

"Don't worry I know he's Green Arrow" Dick admitted " I haven't told anyone else about this so could I break it to him"

"Uhm, okay" Thea was shocked that Dick knew Oliver's identity. Dick and Thea head back to the apartment and Thea went to bed as Dick slipped on his civilian clothes and went to the foundry. He headed to the basement. Everyone was waiting : Oliver, Roy,Laurel, Barry, Diggle and Felicity. He walked down stairs and towards the group " Ok guys glad you all came along " he said as he pulled a map from a bag he'd brought with him and laid it on the table " I'm sure I've told you all the whole investigation" he asked as everyone nodded thier heads " I've got a plan to stop the big ' finale' crimes in all these cities. "

"How?" Barry asked

"We all protect different cities" Dick answered

"I'm interested" said Oliver

"I was hoping you'd say that, or something similar" Dick said " At the marked times you will each be in selected locations" he continued, pointing to parts of his map

"So what exactly are we supposed to expect there?" Laurel asked

"Well" Dick said " that depends on the place, there's murder in Starling, mugging in Park City, armed robbery in Central, arms dealing in Keystone and kidnapping in Blüdhaven."

"Alright who's going where?" Roy asked

"I call dibs on armed robbery" Barry said

"Knew you'd say that" Dick said "I was gonna say Roy goes to Keystone,Laurel goes to Park, Barry handles Central , Oliver stays in Starling and me and Thea go to Blüdhaven"

"I thought we agreed Thea wouldn't help" Oliver said

"When did we agree on that?" Dick asked

"Actually it would be wiser to let her help" Felicity chimed, just stopping Oliver from speaking

"How?" Diggle asked before Oliver could

"I can't cover your comms and tech if you're all the way in Blüdhaven" she replied " it's on the other side of the country"

"Alright,but if anything happens to her.." Oliver began

"I know" Dick said "I care just as much as you do Ollie"
