Artemis was on her way back to the Foundry after dropping off Xavier Reed, aka the Mayor, off at the Precinct for the SCPD when she heard a woman scream, drawing her attention as she changed directions towards the sound.
"Artemis, what are you doing? I thought you were wrapping it up for the night?" Cisco asked into her earbud.
"I was, but then I heard some woman scream and since it's here in the Glades, figured I'd check it out. By the way, I am still loving that codename Artemis." Artemis said.
"Yeah, considering the fact that you insist on us calling you that every time you're out, I think we do." Caitlin said.
"Sorry, can't help it, I'll be back once I've wrapped this up." Artemis said as she ended the message as she arrived on the scene.
Roy Harper was currently running away with some woman's purse when suddenly a silver arrow embedded itself in the ground in front of them and he was knocked to the ground by a woman in silver as she slid down the cable that was attached to the arrow.
When Roy got his bearings, he saw that the woman was dressed in a what looked like a silver kevlar body armor suit that looked like a resized and redesigned version of the Arrow suit, though this one included a silver cape and a silver arrow design on her chest.
She then pointed her silver bow at him and said in a modulated voice "I think you have something that doesn't belong to you."
"I'm doing what I have to do to survive. Who the hell are you anyway." Roy said, though the woman did not seem deterred.
"I'm Artemis and I don't care how you justify it, stealing is still illegal." Artemis said.
"Well what am I supposed to do. It's not like I can get a job since I never finished high school." Roy said.
"Try applying to work at Thea Queen's club Verdant, I hear they're always looking for more servers. Now, since I can tell you're not a bad kid, you just got dealt a lousy hand, I'll let you off with a warning, but if I catch you stealing from anybody in these streets again, I'm putting you away." Artemis said as she pulled an arrow out of her quiver and firing it before zipping away and out of Roy's life, for now.
"So, you let the perp go, that's so unlike you." Cisco said as Thea entered the foundry after changing out of her suit.
"I could he's a good kid, just got a rough deal. Hopefully though telling him to apply to Verdant will help him turn his life around." Thea said.
"Not to mention it'll give you an excuse to spend time with him." Caitlin said.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Thea said.
"Please, this guy is just your type." Cisco said.
"Shut up Cisco." Thea said.
"Hey, I'm just saying, you tend to go for the bad boys, just like your sister-in-law, I mean, she married the Green Arrow, I'm not sure how much more of a bad boy it get's than that." Cisco said.
"You're just saying that because I won't go out with you." Thea said, rolling her eyes.
"Whatever you say Artemis. But I don't think you should get your hopes up." Cisco said, right as the cameras upstairs picked up movement.
"Well, I stand corrected, your boyfriend's here." Cisco said.
"He's not my boyfriend." Thea said as she headed upstairs.
"Excuse me, but this club is closed right now." Thea said to Roy as she greeted him.
"I'm sorry, but I heard that you were hiring and I thought an interview may be easier if it wasn't while the club was packed." Roy said.
"In that case, step into my office." Thea said with a smile as she led him over to a table.
"So, first off, I think I should know your name." Thea said.
"Roy Harper." Roy said, holding out his hand.
"Thea Queen." Thea said, shaking it.
"Wow, that's one heck of a grip you've got there." Roy said.
"Thanks I think, but anyway, do you have any prior experience working in a bar?" Thea asked.
"No, this is actually the first job I've ever applied for." Roy said.
"I assume that like most people your age in the Glades, you have a criminal record?" Thea asked.
"Maybe." Roy said nervously, causing Thea to laugh.
"Relax, considering my mother is serving 5 consecutive life sentences in Iron Heights, I don't judge people for having a criminal background, especially if it's just petty theft, which I'm assuming is what your crimes are." Thea said.
"Basically, I was stealing to survive." Roy said.
"So why do you want to work here?" Thea asked.
"I'm trying to start a clean slate and I heard that getting a job here might be a good start, since I didn't actually graduate from high school." Roy said.
"Tell you what. I'll hire you on a trial basis and depending on your performance over the next month, I'll consider making your position permanent, deal?" Thea asked.
"Deal." Roy agreed.
