'Hey.' Was all Oliver could say in greeting while waving awkwardly as James Olsen eyed him in disgust.
'You knew?' James gritted through his teeth as he turned to face Alex and J'onn 'You knew who he was and you still let him go out there?' his voice filled with hurt and anger.
'We didn't have a choice James those hostages were about to be executed.' Alex defended as she walked up to him.
'I don't care you should have let Guardian handled it.'
'No, this wasn't some mugger who held up a grocer at his register these were stone cold killers who shot a girl in the head just to prove their point.' Alex pointed out.
'That doesn't mean you send another killer to do more of the same that isn't the kind of example to send to the city especially without Supergirl its not what she would want its what she stands for!' James berated Alex.
'Hey lay off!' Oliver finally spoke he promised himself he would behave and show restraint as a guest on this Earth, much to his regret he faltered when he killed Osbourne's man at the bank, but Alex was a friend and Oliver wasn't going to stand idly by as some punk talked down towards her.
'And just who do you think you are? What gives you the right to just waltz into town treating it like it your playground beating thugs up and putting arrows in them?' James bit back.
'No one gave me any right I was asked by Alex, J'onn and Winn. And if I remember Winn said you were tied up in a board meeting to do anything about it, Guardian.' Oliver snipped back he noticed James' expression tense up at the word.
'How'd you-'
'Don't act surprised it doesn't take a genius to know that you're him and the only reason you'd be against another masked vigilante would be if you were one too.' Oliver folded his arms across his chest as James fumed.
'Don't…don't you compare us I never would have executed that guy.'
'That guy was a ruthless criminal that had a gun to an innocent girl's head he shot another in cold blood just to get the cops to back off. You think you could have changed his mind by talking to him?' Oliver snapped back he was really starting to get irritated by James' self-righteous attitude.
'I would have found another way I would have found a right way.' James defended.
Oliver rolled his eyes 'Doing this job on assumption is a sure way to get yourself and others killed, I'd hate for that girl's blood to be on your hands based on a maybe.'
'You're one to talk we're supposed to be better than them. What you did incited fear and just divided the city lot of people are scared of what you did while others are encouraged by it. Supergirl…'
'Is in a comma while your city was threatened by trigger happy mercenaries.'
'Who didn't have to die! Let alone at the hands of some thug!'
Oliver paused for a moment and smirked at the accusation.
'What is so damn funny?' James asked in an outrage.
'You. That's why you're mad its you can't stand someone else besides you did it.'
'You're wrong what I can't stand is some maniac who unloads on everyone he crosses. That makes you just like them. There is a right way to do it and it works I've been doing it that way for two years.'
'If that was true you wouldn't have come here, to the agency that Supergirl works with, to find me. How many times in the two years you've been doing this did you get lucky only because Supergirl was there?' Oliver challenged he couldn't help get a sense of pride as he saw James' expression light up in what Oliver could only intemperate as severe offensiveness from what Oliver knew was a sensitive spot for James. James' face reddened clearly being offended by his statement he took a large swing to his face and Oliver backed up before pushing James back.
'Trust me you do not want to do this.' Oliver warned as he raised his hand up in caution.
'Why? Not such big man without arrows to shoot?' James asked confidently.
'James don't!' Alex cried out not wanting to see her friend get hurt James was brave sometimes too brave for his own good and the last thing she wanted was for him to get in over his head.
'Stay out of this Alex!' James angrily yelled back.
'You think we should stop them?' Winn whispered eagerly to J'onn as the two of them were off in the corner.
'You want to get in the middle of that?' J'onn pointed as Winn turned to his direction and watched as Oliver continued to either dogged James' attacks or push him back.
Oliver was able to easily avoid or block James' attacks James was an average fighter at best but he was currently making the biggest mistake anyone in their line of work could make he was attacking in blind anger without knowing who he was dealing with. While he could have kept this up all day, he decided to end things quickly. James came at him with another hook punch which gave Oliver the opening he needed quickly seizing James' fist Oliver directed the force into an armbar following up with a kick to the back of his James' knee sending him to the floor Oliver then wrapped his forearm around James' throat into a rear choke and began to squeeze. James struggled with all his strength as Oliver's grip tightened. After a few seconds James strength wavered suddenly he stopped still as his eyes rolled into the back of his head before closing shut. Oliver released his grip allowing James' lifeless body to slump to the floor. Oliver took a moment to catch his breath as he looked up to see Winn, J'onn, Alex and the rest of the DEO personnel eye him with shock and fear.
A/N: Short chapter but I wanted there to be some sort of internal conflict. Also, Oliver is a lot of things but one thing he isn't is a show-off its not in Oliver's character to make fun of another person 'like Malcolm did with Laurel.' as so many of you have begged me to write Oliver lets his actions speak for themselves if he wants to take someone out he doesn't utter a quip like Barry does or be an egocentric prick and toy with them like Malcolm. That said another thing about Oliver is he is not going to stand by as Alex probably one of the only two people on Earth 38 he sees as a friend get scolded by some guy who he's just met and is giving crappy attitude, something James seems to be full of lately. Compared to season one where he believed that Supergirl should stand for truth and justice then in the finale he is so gung-ho to killing Reign even after he somehow forced the DEO to disband their armoury for non-lethal weapons this guy's habit of 'do as I say and not as I do' is part of why I can't stand him.
