"It's been two years since I've been home to Starling City. All this time I was training to control the powers granted to be by the Wolf's Paw, a mystical gem that gave me enhanced abilities and instincts of the Wolf. My senses were sharper than ever, and my reflexes were almost so quick you could barely see me. It was a rush for the first six months, and I honestly had a little fun. But, Master Hu-Or straightened me out and told me what these powers really were.

See, apparently I'm something called a Guardian, someone destined to lead a group of women who are the protectors of a lost princess from a world known as Drakonia. Apparently the princess was sent away because the world was destroyed in some sort of war, and she was sent to our world for her own safety.

Hu-Or, the man who trained me, told me that when my Wolf's Paw activated, it meant that the Drakonian Princess was alive and she would need her Guardians when a confluence of heroes band together in a climactic battle against dark forces.

After my training, I journeyed home, but first I needed to find an ally in Gotham City to help me in my quest. So that's where we begin..."

Gotham City, 2012

Selena sat at a table by the window inside GC Jitters. She wore black biker boots, tight black pants, a deep purple crop top with sleeves reaching her elbows that revealed a diamond studded bellybutton ring, and a white leather jacket. Her once deep brown hair now had heavy pink highlights. She stared out the window, caressing the Wolf's Paw that dangled from the chain on her wrist.

"One Americano, light on the cream with a spoonful of sugar, for the lady." said a male a roughly a couple years older than Selena. He was tall, fair-skinned, a little on the lanky side, with a buzz-cut of dark hair and brown eyes, and wore brown combat boots, dark colored jeans, and a black long-sleeved shirt under a red leather jacket. "And a basic latte for myself." He smiled as he took the seat opposite Selena.

"Thank you, Tim." Selena replied, placing her hands on either side of her mug. "Are you sure you're okay with moving to Starling City with me? Don't you think Gotham could still use you?"

Tim shrugged his shoulders, "Nah." he replied, taking a sip of his latte. "A friend of mine's got it covered." he winked. His eyes glanced up and he saw a news report on WEBG Starling City 7 News. "Hey, didn't you say you knew that guy?"

"Huh?" Selena muttered, looking over her shoulder at the television screen. The headline read, 'Lost Billionaire Found' and the teen's dark eyes widened. "The Starling City resident was found by fishermen in the North China sea five days ago, five years after he was missing and presumed dead following the accident at sea which claimed the 'Queen's Gambit'." the reporter stated.

"Oliver." Selena gasped. Seeing the pressing look in Tim's eyes, she continued, "Yeah, Oliver and my brother Tommy are best friends." she went on. "He even booked a flight to Hong Kong thinking Oliver was there when he saw something on his email."

Tim nodded his head, watching the report, which showed a younger Oliver stumbling in the road with a pretty blonde and then going after a paparazzi. "He seems like a real piece of work." Tim noted.

"Understatement of the year." Selena scoffed, taking a sip of her coffee. "I can't tell you how many times I found him and Tommy passed out drunk with a pair of half-naked bimbos."

Tim lightly chuckled., "So, when are we leaving?" he asked, looking across the table to meet Selena's eyes.

"We can take the next train." Selena answered, shifting her eyes back to the television, continuing to watch the report on Oliver Queen's return to Starling City.

Starling City, 2012

A woman in her mid-twenties with olive toned skin, dark brown hair, and lighter brown eyes, walked into a brick building with the letters C.N.R.I printed on the front doors. She had a dark brown briefcase slung over her shoulder and carried a coffee from SC Jitters in her free hand, while the other held a thick folder. Following her into the building were two younger teenagers. One had fair-skin and light red hair and green eyes, wearing a black jean jacket over a purple t-shirt with a dragon silhouette on it, a pair of faded jeans and black converse sneakers. The other was also fair-skinned and had long, blonde hair and hazel eyes, wearing a light pink blouse and white skirt.

"How's your new case going?" the young blonde asked as the three walked into the office's bullpen.

"Adam Hunt's not going down without a fight." the olive-skinned brunette answered. "But neither do I."

"Hey Andy." the redhead halted, tapping Andrea's shoulder. "Look."

Andrea followed Elizabeth's line of sight, her eyes landing on the TV screen. "In other news, details as to the castaway story you've all heard about...the son..." the anchorman reported. Andrea gasped when a picture of the man she knew as her best friend appeared on the screen, "Ollie."

As the report continued, the television was suddenly turned off and everyone turned to see a young brunette drop the remote on the table and walk away. "Honestly, I expected a worse reaction." Rachel sighed.

"I'll talk to Laurel." Andrea said, turning to face her sister and friend. "Don't you two have to go to work?"

"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded, giving Andrea a smile before spinning on her heels and walking away.

"Bye sis." Rachel smiled and kissed her older sister's cheek before following Elizabeth out the door.

Andrea walked to her desk, which was had a few framed photographs on it. One was of her with Tommy, Laurel, and Oliver when the four were in high school. Another was a picture of her sister Rachel wearing a light yellow sundress with a flower in her hair, and the last was one of Andrea, in a white tank top and jean shorts, on Oliver's bare back when they were on vacation in Coast City in their high school years, the two with wide grins on their faces. That was the photo she picked up and smiled at.

Around sunset, a silver mustang convertible pulled up the driveway of the Queen Mansion, Selena throwing it into park and cutting the engine. Tim let out a whistle as he stepped out of Selena's car, "And I thought Bruce had a nice place." he cracked a smile.

Selena rolled her eyes and locked her car, twirling her keys around her finger before dropping them in her purse. "I remembering spending quite a few nights here with Elena and Thea." Tim quirked his eyebrows. Selena punched his arm and jogged up the front porch steps, "Not like that you horn-dog. They're straight and I don't like to share."

She winked and pushed the door open, "Room for a couple more?" Selena giggled.

"Selena?" Tommy asked, raising his eyebrow. "When did you get back?" He held his arms out and hugged his little sister.

Selena returned the embrace, resting her head against her brother's shoulder, "My plane landed in Gotham a week ago." she answered, pulling away but still keeping her arm around Tommy's back. "I stayed there just to recharge from the jet-lag. Met a new friend." She motioned to Tim. "Tim Drake. My brother, Tommy."

"Nice to meet you." Tim said, shaking Tommy's hand.

"Likewise." Tommy replied with a nod.

"Hey there, Sel." Thea spoke, her and Elena standing at the top of the staircase.

"Long time, no see." Elena chuckled.

Selena ran to meet her friends at the bottom of the stairs, the three embracing with soft giggles and wide smiles. Tim stood still as his eyes landed on the youngest Queen sister, his jaw slightly agape. "Oh, girls, this is my friend from Gotham, Tim." Selena introduced.

"Hi." Thea greeted with a smile.

"Hey." Tim replied, moving to lean against the small table in the center of the room that was covered with framed photographs, only to almost fall over, making Thea chuckle.

"Nice to meet you." Elena added.

The Queen's housekeeper, Raisa, entered the room and directed them to the dining room, where dinner was being served. Tommy and Tim followed Raisa, with Elena and Thea following behind. Selena walked up to Oliver, "Welcome back from the dead." she joked, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"It's good to be back." Oliver replied, returning the hug. He pulled away and brushed some hair off Selena's shoulders. "Nice hair."

"Thanks." the dark-skinned girl grinned. She looked up and could see a different look in Oliver's eyes. This was someone she'd grown up knowing, and loved like another brother, and she knew deep down that something was different about him.

Everyone sat around the table, enjoying dinner, while Tommy was busy catching Oliver up on everything that's happened over the past five years. "Super bowl winners: Giants, Steelers, Saints, Packers, Giants again." he listed, while Selena rolled her eyes and sipped her water. "A black president, that's new. Oh, and "Lost," they were all dead...I think."

"What was it like there?" Thea asked, looking to her brother. The table went quiet, Elena, who was sitting on Thea's other side, lightly slapped her arm.

Oliver simply replied, "Cold."

Tommy took a sip of his wine and cleared his throat, "Tomorrow, you and me, we're doing the city." he told his best friend. "You've got a lot to catch up on."

"That sounds like a great idea." Moria agreed from the far end of the table opposite Oliver.

"Good." Oliver said, meeting his mother's eyes. "Then I was hoping to swing by the office."

Walter moved to take another sip from his wine but halted when he heard Oliver's request. "There's plenty of time for all that." he replied.

"Yeah, Ollie." Elena added, chewing on a piece of her steak. "Queen Consolidated isn't going anywhere."

Raisa walked in to set a bowl of pears on the table, but tripped and nearly lost her balance. Before she could brace herself, Oliver moved to steady her without even getting up from his chair. "I am so sorry, Mr. Oliver." the housekeeper apologized. Oliver replied to her in Russian, saying it was no worry.

Everyone at the table were stunned by this. Tim exchanged a glance with Selena, who just shrugged her shoulders and moved her gaze back to Oliver, her brow arching. "You speak Russian?" she questioned.

Walter finished chewing a portion of his meal before adding, "I didn't realize you took Russian at college, Oliver."

"I didn't realize you wanted to sleep with my mother, Walter." Oliver retorted, making the entire table go silent once more. Elena choked on her water and held the back of her hand over her mouth to stifle the cough.

Moria glanced at her two daughters, who avoided their mother's harsh look. "I didn't say anything." Thea defended, folding her hands on her lap.

"Neither did I." Elena followed.

Oliver cast a glance to his two younger siblings before meeting his mother's eyes once more, "They didn't have to."

The Queen family matriarch nodded in acknowledgement. "Oliver..." Moria cleared her throat, reaching over to take Walter's hand. "Walter and I are married." she informed. Seeing the visibly pained expression on her son's face, she sighed and added, "I don't want you to think that either one of us did anything to disrespect your father."

"We both believed that Robert, like you, was..." Walter continued, meeting his step-son's eyes as well, "...well, gone."

"It's fine." Oliver said, rising to his feet, "May I be excused?" His mother gave a nod and he retired to his room for the night, but not before giving a wink to his two sisters, a pat on his best friend's shoulder, and a nod to Selena.

"Thank you for a lovely dinner Mrs. Queen." Selena said with a smile as her and Tim stood by the mansion's front door.

Moria returned the teenager's smile and hugged her goodbye, "You're welcome. It was nice to see you again, Selena." the older woman chuckled warmly. "Don't be a stranger now."

"Of course not." Selena promised, before moving to hug Elena goodbye. "The three of us should get together sometime. Like old times."

"Sounds good." Elena agreed. "Although, I would have to check my scheduled since I'm kinda working with Walter now."

"Yep, Ellie here has joined the corporate world." Thea added, draping her arm around her older sister's shoulders.

"Unofficially." Elena clarified. "I'm still a few credits shy of getting my MBA." The eighteen year old shrugged.

Selena nodded, "I guess I forgot how smart you are, Lena." she chuckled, using the nickname she'd always call her when they were growing up. "Anyway, we can discuss details some other time."

She waved goodbye to her closest friends before heading out to her car with Tim in tow, who stole one more glance at Thea. "Okay, you didn't tell me how hot they were." he said in a low voice as they climbed into the car. "Especially Thea."

Selena rolled her eyes, "Hate to break it to ya, Tim, but uh-" she chuckled, turning the key in the ignition, "-I don't think you're her type."

The mustang roared to life as Selena put the top up. "I could be." Tim rebuked. Selena just shook her head and laughed as she peeled out of the driveway. "You are cruel." the male scoffed, leaning back in the seat.

It took about an hour for Selena to pull into the parking area of the small condo she was renting. Selena dropped her keys into the bowl by the front door and shrugged off her jacket, while Tim headed for his room, "Night Selena." he patted her shoulder as he passed her.

"Goodnight." Selena gave him a smile and retired to her room. She draped her jacket over the armrest of a lounge chair and kicked off her boots as she stared out the window overlooking her city. With a sigh she slid out of her biker pants and took off her shirt, throwing on some black shorts and a purple tank top.

Selena opened an ornate wooden box that sat on a vanity desk, revealing four gemstones that had a faint glow to them. The first was silver in the shape of a fox head, the second was pale blue and shaped like a bear head, the third was deep purple and shaped like an eagle's head, and the fourth one was magenta-pink and shaped like the mythical carbuncle.

{Flashback}

"I had been training with Hu-Or for six months before he finally came clean about what it was I was training for."

Selena dodged the strikes Hu-Or dealt her, then retaliated with a sequence of her own. Their metal sticks clashed with one another's, combined with strained grunts coming from the young teenager. Hu-Or advanced a couple steps and knocked Selena off balance, holding the end of his staff against her throat.

'Your mind is still unfocused.' he said, removing his weapon from the girl's neck.

Selena's eyes flashed gold for a brief moment before she jumped to her feet, a low growl escaping her. 'Why don't you tell me what the hell it is I'm training for?' she snarled.

Hu-Or turned to face her. He simply motioned for her to follow him as he walked through the training grounds leading towards the temple. As they walked through the temple doors, Selena's eyes widened as she saw a tapestry that depicted a dragon surrounded by five different animals; a wolf, a fox, a bear, an eagle, and a carbuncle.

'What is that?' Selena gasped.

'The Dragon Princess and her Guardians.' Hu-Or answered. 'You are one of those Guardians, Selena.' He turned and faced the dark-skinned teen. 'You are their leader, the Lunar Wolf.'

'Lunar Wolf.' Selena repeated with a shrug.

'As the leader of the Guardians, you are the one who must track them down and train them.' Hu-Or continued, folding his hands behind his back.

'Train them for what?' Selena asked, her hands slapping against her sides. 'And how am I supposed to find them in the first place?'

'Through these.' Hu-Or picked up the ornate box resting on the pedestal beneath the tapestry. He opened the box, revealing four different colored gems. 'The Animal Gems, like your Wolf's Paw, are the source of the Guardians powers. Each Guardian bonds to a certain Gem, and therefore has certain powers.'

Selena rolled her eyes, 'Again, how am I supposed to find these other Guardians?' she reiterated. 'How will the Gems help? What will they show me more visions?'

'The Gem will react in close proximity to a Guardian...' Hu-Or answered.

{End Flashback}

Selena closed the box on her vanity and climbed into her bed, staring up at the ceiling. "Tomorrow, the hunt begins." She closed her eyes, resting her hands over her deep blue down comforter.

The next day...

Tommy parked his car outside of CNRI and followed Oliver inside. Oliver walked through the bullpen area and his eyes landed on a girl he's been wanting to see for the past five years.

"We are now in front of Judge Grell." Johanna informed, handing Andrea a file.

"Great, Hunt funded his re-election campaign." Andrea scoffed, brushing some hair from her face. "He's got Grell in his back-pocket. " She slammed the file down on her desk, letting out a heavy sigh as she lowered her head.

"Drea." Oliver spoke, standing behind her.

Andrea's head shot up and she turned around, her eyes widening in shock. "Ollie." she breathed, running right into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck as tightly as she could, her brown eyes welling with moisture. "I've missed you."

A small smile formed on Oliver's lips as he tightened his embrace around Andrea, lifting her a few inches off the floor. "I've missed you too." he replied, setting her down and looking into her eyes. "You look good."

"So do you." the brunette playfully slapped his shoulder.

Tommy cleared his throat, "What? No hug for the ex you're still on good terms with?" he questioned with a half-smile. "Seriously, Andy?"

Andrea rolled her eyes and hugged Tommy next, lightly pecking his cheek. "You two broke up?" Oliver questioned, sounding a bit shocked.

"Yeah." Tommy nodded.

"Well you know what they say; once a playboy, always a playboy." Andrea chuckled, looking at Tommy with an arched brow. "I figured we should quit while we were ahead so we could at least stay friends."

"Which turns out, we're better as friends." the darker-haired male added.

"That's good to know." Oliver stated.

"But you know you'll always be my best friend, right?" Andrea quirked her brow, meeting Oliver's eyes.

He nodded and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze, "Of course." Oliver gave her a warm smile.

"Oliver." Laurel gasped as she stood still, staring at her ex-boyfriend.

Selena and Tim walked around downtown Starling City, beginning their search for the other four Guardians. The pair decided to take a break and stopped for a coffee at SC Jitters. They grabbed a corner table and Selena set the box of gems in front of her as she watched for any hint of a glow or reaction.

"Did he give you any other information on how to narrow down how to find one?" Tim asked.

Selena sighed heavily and shut the box, slipping it back into her knapsack. "Not really." she answered. "Just that when a Guardian is in close proximity, a gem will glow. That certain characteristics will react with the gem."

"And these certain characteristics are..." Tim questioned, waving his hands as if to press her for more information.

Selena shrugged her shoulders, "He said one gem reacts to a decision between family and duty, another to a selfless action, inner strength, a healer's heart." she sighed, rubbing her temples. Selena ran her hands over her hair before folding them in front of her face. "It was all cryptic nonsense. But, Hu-Or did say that the moment the gem reacted to a Guardian, I would know who it will be and what triggered her reaction."

Tim pursed his lips together, "So not helpful." he noted. Elizabeth walked up and took their empty coffee cups, giving both Tim and Selena a friendly smile as she set a check down.

"Yeah, tell me about is." Selena scoffed, digging some cash from her wallet and setting it on the table. "Keep the change, Elizabeth." she added, glancing at her nametag, and that's when she noticed the necklace that the redhead was wearing, the charm being a silver dragon forming a heart around a purple gemstone. "Wow, that's a beautiful necklace."

"Oh, thank you." Elizabeth replied, touching the charm. "My dad gave it to me when I was real little." She smiled at the two, "Have a good day." she gave a friendly nod and returned to work while Selena and Tim headed for the exit.

As Selena walked out the door, she bumped shoulders with a teen girl with platinum blonde hair pulled into a low ponytail, wearing a knee-length white skirt with black polka-dots, and a light pink blouse. "Selena?" she questioned.

Selena's brow arched as she looked into the blonde's light brown eyes, "Rachel?"

The blonde nodded and the two embraced. "I didn't know you were back." Rachel admitted, pulling away. A faint smile crossed her lips as she brushed her bangs to the side.

Selena nodded, "Yeah, I'm back." she chuckled. "I've got some things to do around town, but uh...Are you gonna go to Oliver's party tomorrow night?"

"Yeah, Elena and Thea invited me to go with them." Rachel answered. "Guess I'll see ya there."

"See ya." Selena stepped to the side and watched as Rachel walked into Jitters, adjusting the strap of her laptop case over her shoulder.

"Uh, earth to Selena." Tim snapped his fingers in front of his friend's face.

Selena reached out and grabbed Tim's wrist, glaring at him. "Don't ever do that again." she stated coldly.

"You know her?" Tim asked, motioning to Rachel.

"Yeah." Selena nodded. "That's Rachel Rayne. An old friend." Seeing the look in Tim's eyes, Selena gave him a smirk and lightly jabbed his shoulder. "Let's focus less on my love life and focus more on finding the rest of the Guardians."

Tim mock saluted and followed Selena as they continued their mission. The walked a few more blocks before Selena suddenly stopped. She heard the sounds of a fight nearby, and focused her hearing as her eyes briefly flashed gold. "Uh...Sel?" Tim muttered. "What is it?"

"A fight." Selena answered, her head whipping in the direction she heard the noises. "This way." A low snarl escaped her as she bolted towards a small cluster of warehouses.

Tim's jaw fell slack as he saw how swift Selena moved through the alley, effortlessly jumping over various obstacles. He shook off his daze and followed after her.

Selena sniffed the air and turned down another alley, stopping when she saw her brother's car. She took a deep breath, catching her brother's scent, as well as Oliver's, and a few others she could only tell belonged to males. She tracked them into a large warehouse, skidding to a stop when she heard the sound of gunfire, and quickly hid behind stacks of oil drums.

Tim joined her and caught his breath, "What the hell was-" he panted, only for Selena's hand to clamp over his mouth. She removed her hand and peered around the drums, and watched as Oliver got the upper hand on his attacker and held his body under his arms. "Nobody can know my secret." Selena heard the words Oliver muttered as he snapped the assailants neck.

"I wonder where he learned to do that?" Tim whispered, looking to Selena.

"I'm wondering the same thing." Selena replied, meeting his eyes.

The next night, Selena showed up at Oliver's 'Welcome Home' party with the intent on finding out exactly what happened to him over the five years he was presumed dead. However, it would be easier said than done, since the venue was packed full of people and the smell of alcohol was overwhelming to her newly heightened senses.

"Your brother knows how to throw a party." Tim noted, sipping a drink, while sporting traditional black slacks and a red button down shirt.

Selena rolled her eyes, wearing a sparkling black dress and had her hair parted to the right side and decorated with small silver clips. "Some things never change." she sighed, sipping on her club soda. She scanned the crowd, her eyes landing on Rachel and Elena as they laughed together with a group of their friends from Starling Collage.

Selena took a deep breath as she continued to search for Oliver, and saw him walk to a less crowded section of the venue with Laurel. She glanced back near the bar and saw her brother take a shot as Andrea approached him and they began a conversation.

Tim tapped her shoulder, getting her attention. "Why are you focused on this guy?" he asked.

"Because..." Selena grabbed his arm and pulled him into a shadowed corner, "...Master Hu-Or told me that, along with finding the other Guardians, there was something else I had to do." she answered in a low voice.

"What is it?" Tim pressed.

Selena licked her lips, "He told me that something was happening in Starling, and that I would need the help of at least one Guardian to stop it."

"And what? You think Oliver might be part of this bad something?" Tim chuckled.

"I'm not sure." Selena shrugged. "I'm still figuring things out."

The music suddenly cut out when a group of SCPD officers got on the stage. "Starling City police! The party's over, kids." shouted Detective Lance, which earned collective 'boos' from the crowd. Seeing this, Selena and Tim weaved through the crowd to get closer, as Detective Lance and his partner returned to the floor, finding Tommy and Andrea. "Mr. Merlyn, imagine my shock at finding you here." Lance scoffed. "Did you roofie anyone special tonight, huh?"

Selena rolled her eyes at the detective's hateful tone towards her brother. "Detective!" Oliver's voice called, as he joined his two friends. "It's a private party."

"Yeah? Well, there was an incident at Adam Hunt's building tonight." Lance informed, earning a shocked look from Andrea. "You know anything about that?"

Oliver just blinked in confusion. "Who's Adam Hunt?" he asked. Selena focused her hearing and heard Oliver's steady heartbeat.

Detective Lance scoffed, "He's a millionaire bottom feeder, and I'm kind of surprised you aren't friends." he spat. "He was just attacked by the guy with the hood, the guy that saved your ass the other day."

Selena's brow arched as she overheard the conversation and she exchanged a glance with Tim, who had his hands in his pockets.

"The hood guy." Oliver repeated. "You didn't find him? I'm gonna offer a reward." he turned to the crowd, holding up two fingers, "Hey, everybody. Two million dollars to anybody that can find a nut bar in a green hood!"

The crowd erupted into cheers as Oliver turned back to the detective, wearing a half-smirk. "Did you even try to save her?" Lance asked in a bitter tone. "Did you even try to save my daughter?"

"Partner, let's go." Detective Hilton urged, grabbing Quentin by the arms and walking him out of the building.

Everyone watched as the Starling City police exited the venue. Oliver casually walked up onto the stage, grabbing a shot glass and raising it. "It's way too quiet in here!" he yelled with a grin. "This is a party!"

The crowd erupted into more cheers and the music went back to full volume. "Some coincidence." Tommy shook his head as Oliver joined him back on the floor. "I mean, you asking to have your party here, and Hunt getting robbed right next door and by the same guy who rescued us at the warehouse."

"If I were you, Tommy..." Oliver patted his friend's shoulder. "...I'd just be glad you're alive."

Tommy arched his brow, seeing a change in his best friend. "What happened to you on that island?" he asked.

"A lot." Oliver answered. He was totally oblivious to the fact Selena had been eavesdropping and picked up on the subtle change in his tone, and knew there was more to the story.

The following night, Selena decided to see if her theory was right. She tracked Oliver's scent and found him on the rooftop of a building adjacent to CNRI. Selena was dressed in a pair of black and silver boots, a pair of black leather pants with a matching jacket over a silver top and a black hood over her head.

Next to her, Tim wore a pair of sleek black biker boots, kevlar-lined black pants and matching jacket, that had a red design reminiscent of unfurling wings and a black mask over his eyes with red lining around the eye-holes, along with a red belt that held various tools and hidden weapons. "You sure about this?" he asked his partner.

Selena nodded, her eyes finding Oliver on the building's fire escape. "Yes. Time to know what his plans are." She got to her feet, watching as Oliver made his way to the adjacent building's roof.

Taking a deep breath, Selena took some steps back before breaking into a sprint, jumping from her rooftop to the one the hooded male was on. Her reflexes were quick enough to catch Oliver off guard and the two rolled across the surface. Selena's eyes flashed gold as she tackled Oliver and pinned him against the rooftop entrance. "Tell me, Oliver Queen." she said, pulling her hood down to reveal herself, much to Oliver's shock. "What are you planning to do?" Selena released him and stepped back, Tim joining her at her side.

"Selena. I could ask the same." Oliver replied, trying to wrap his mind around the change he saw in the teenager before him.

"Well, I have a mission." Selena stated vaguely.

"Same." Oliver shoved past her, "And it doesn't concern you."

"This city's in danger." Selena stated as Oliver pulled an arrow from his quiver. He looked over his shoulder at her, "I don't know exactly from what, but I do know that I need to help save it."

Oliver shook his head, "Sorry, but my mission is a solo one." he told her. "Stay out of my way Selena, or you'll get hurt." He fired an arrow that released a steel cable and used that to get to the next building and disappeared into the night.

"What do you think, Sel?" Tim asked, standing next to her.

She sighed heavily, her breath visible in the air. "We keep an eye on him while still searching for the Guardians." she answered. "Finding them is my top priority."

"But what if Oliver is this something bad that your master warned you about?" He looked down at her.

Selena met Tim's eyes, her own glowing gold, "Then we do whatever it takes to stop him." she replied.
