Author's Note: This is my first fan fiction story. I've had this story in my head for a while and I just wanted to finally write it out. When I was reading the BOP fan fiction I realized that none of the stories even mention Green Arrow. I also realized there are hardly any stories that have Dinah interested in a guy. I want to change all that. This story takes about a month after "Devil's Eyes." Green Arrow, Connor Hawke, comes to New Gotham in search of his father's killer. He came for the Birds help and to warn Oracle about New Gotham's new serial killer. Dinah also finds herself attracted to New Gotham's new vigilante. (Just ignore the fact that Connor has the same last name as Al Hawke because they're not related and the story has nothing to do with that).
Onomatopoeia
Chapter 1: New Gotham's new vigilante
"So, what did Matt say last night?" Gabby asked Dinah. Yesterday Matt told Dinah that he needed to talk to her about something important.
"He said he thought that we should just be friends."
"I can't believe him. He just wants to be friends now? What is wrong with him? He can never make up his mind. Typical male. Are you gonna be okay?"
"Yeah, I'll get over it. It's not like I was in love with him or anything. I think he was kind of right. Maybe it'll be better if we were just friends." Just then, their teacher walked in.
"Okay, class, settle down. Because of our last lab and the stink bomb that went off in the principle's office, which I don't want to go into detail about, I will be assigning your lab partners from now on. The partner I assign you to will be your partner for the rest of the year." The class groaned. Dinah prayed Gabby would be her partner.
Their teacher was done pairing them up in five minutes and Dinah was stuck with somebody who she never heard of. "Hey, at least now you won't feel uncomfortable in front of Matt," Gabby told her. The bad news was that she didn't end up with Gabby. The good news was that now Gabby was Matt's partner so now Dinah could find out what's going on inside Matt's head without using her powers. She didn't want to do that again. It didn't turn out too well last time. The other bad news was that Dinah was stuck with a guy named Connor Hawke whom she never heard of.
"Who's Connor Hawke?" she asked Gabby.
"Must be the new kid."
"Hey," Matt greeted them.
"Hey, Matt," Dinah said. She felt kind of weird in front of him now.
"So, Gabby, I guess we better get to work. See you later, Dinah."
Gabby leaned towards Dinah and whispered in her ear. "Don't worry. I'll get all of the information I can get out of him." Her and Matt headed off to the other end of the room.
"Hey," somebody said from behind her, "I'm Connor. I think we're lab partners."
He was really cute. He was tall with blond hair and blue eyes. He was kind of built and had an amazing smile. Matt was good looking but compared to Connor, he was nothing.
"Hi, I'm Dinah." They worked in silence for a minute until Dinah decided to break the silence. "So, are you new here?"
"Yeah, it's my first day."
"Where are you from?"
"Star City."
"Star City? Is that near Metropolis?"
"Yeah, have you ever been to Metropolis?"
"No, but I definitely want to go there someday. Have you ever been to Metropolis?"
"Yeah, I lived there for a couple of months."
"I thought you said you were from Star City."
"Well, I am, sort of. It's kind of complicated. I've lived in Star City my whole life but in the past two years I've lived in Metropolis, Central City, and New York. I've been moving around a lot."
"That must be kind of hard. Any reason for all the moving?"
"Things have just been kind of crazy since my dad died."
"Oh, sorry."
"It's not your fault."
"I know exactly how you feel. A couple of months ago my mom died."
"How are you handling it?"
"It's hard sometimes. Most people wouldn't really understand."
"Yeah, most people wouldn't." After that they completely ignored their lab and talked the entire time trying to get to know each other. They talked about everything. Neither of them could believe how much they had in common. They both felt completely comfortable with each other. They never wanted the period to end but it eventually did. "So, I'll see you tomorrow?" Connor said.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow." They both headed in different directions. Dinah caught up with Gabby in the hallway. "Hey," she said.
"Hey, so, do you want to get the full scoop on Matt?"
"Forget about Matt. I have to tell you about my new lab partner." They both headed off to class with Dinah telling Gabby full details about Connor.

The day had finally ended. Connor thought that that final bell would never ring. It was the longest day of his life. The whole day was a drag and a complete waste of his time. He didn't see the point of going to school. He didn't know how school would help him catch a serial killer on the loose. The only reason why he even goes to school is because he knew his father would want him to. His father would want him to have a normal life.
The only good thing that happened to him today was Dinah. She was his lab partner and she was incredible. She wasn't like any girl he had ever met before. She had been on his mind all day. Ever since science ended she was all that he could think about. He couldn't get her out of his head. There was something about her. God, he has to stop thinking about some girl that he just met and get back in the game. The last thing he needed right now was a distraction. But still. Whatever, right now he needed to stay focused.
He headed to his aunt's apartment, went to his room, and waited impatiently for night to come. After what felt like an eternity night finally came. He opened his trunk, which had a heavy lock on it, and transformed himself into Green Arrow. He put on his costume and his mask, filled his quiver with arrows, picked up his bow, and headed into the darkness of the night, patrolling the rooftops of New Gotham.
From what he saw there wasn't much crime. It looks like Huntress and Oracle were doing a good job keeping the city free from criminals. He needed to find Huntress and Oracle for help and he also needed to warn Oracle about New Gotham's newest serial killer. Connor had been tracking this guy down for the past two years. He called himself Onomatopoeia. Connor had personal issues with him. He was responsible for his father's death.
All of a sudden his thoughts were interrupted. He saw a man wearing a mask running with a sack of money. Finally! He was starting to get bored. Now he could kick some ass. He shot the thug in the arm with an arrow and he screamed in pain. It slowed him down but it didn't stop him. He continued running. Connor shot another arrow at him except this time in the leg. He fell to the ground, unable to keep his balance from the tremendous pain that he felt in his leg. Even though the guy had two arrows in his body, which hurt like hell, he wouldn't give up without a fight. He tried with all of his might to get up and succeeded. He started charging at Connor and tried to attack him. Connor knocked him out with one blow. All of a sudden Connor heard somebody coming, who he assumed were cops, and headed back into the darkness hoping to ruin another criminal's day.

Helena found the thug that she had been chasing and was confused. The guy was knocked out with an arrow in his arm and leg. "Oracle, are you there?"
::I'm here, Huntress. What's the problem?::
"I found the guy that I was chasing and he's knocked out with an arrow in his arm and leg."
::That's strange. Come back to the Clock Tower.::
"I'm on my way."
* * * * *
"Hey, Barbara."
"Hey."
"What's going on?"
"Huntress found the guy that she was chasing knocked out with an arrow in his arm and leg."
"That's weird. Any ideas on how that happened?"
"Well, there was a vigilante from Star City who used arrows to fight. He went by the name Green Arrow."
"Do you think he's in New Gotham?"
"I don't know. It's impossible because he died two years ago."
"Well, this won't be the first time somebody came back from the dead," she was referring to the time Lady Shiva came back to get revenge on Barbara.
"I highly doubt that Oliver Queen's ghost has come back to haunt us."
"Then who do you think it could be?"
"I don't know."
"Could somebody else have become Green Arrow after he died?"
"It's possible but I don't know who it could be. He used to have a sidekick named Speedy but he's a different superhero now so it can't be him. Ollie never had any kids and he didn't have any family so I don't know. Anybody could have became Green Arrow after he died."
"I guess we'll find out soon enough."
"Hopefully. We need to find out who this person is and why they're here. Superheroes don't just come to other cities just for a friendly visit. It's usually for a work related issue. We need to find out why this person's here and who they are fast, before it's too late."

So, what do you think so far? Is it good? Is it bad? Please review. I'll add the next chapter soon.
