"Anything new?" Oliver asks as he walks into the lair where Willow was at her desk still trying to see if she could at least figure out where this so called 'Saviour' was held up.
Willow sighs and runs a hand through her red locks as she shakes her "In a word…no. The website he used…it's nothing like I've ever seen before I can't even make a dent."
"Well use that air magnet thing you said that it…"

As he tries to mansplain to her exactly how to hack which she had been doing since the day she got a computer she turns in her chair and glares at him, her eyes filled with so much annoyance it was like dark Willow was ready to come and out and play again "Oliver…are you really going to mansplain hacking to me? When you know oh yeah squat about it?"

At her question and dark look Oliver steps back without a word and watches her a little fear filling him, she could be a little scary sometimes.

Sighing his focus drifts to Diggle as he enters the room hanging up his phone "Spoke to my friend at the NSA. The website code matches a cyber crusader who's been on their rader. He hacks into fringe sites under the username The Saviour."

Willow sighs and groans, as cool as it was that she sort of had a nemesis now, she could just sense this was going to be a really messy day.

"NSA believes he's a former resident of the Glades." Diggle finishes explaining, it made sense, he had gone after someone who was responsible for a lot of pain in The Glades.
"Former?" Oliver questions making the ex-solider nod "Yeah, well a year ago he hacked himself right off the rader."
Willow's eyes widen at that and she freezes before turning to Diggle, Oliver noticing the look on her face frowns "What?"

Willow sighs and runs a hand over her face "He hasn't just hacked himself off the rader…he did it for someone else two years ago…I didn't know it was him, but it makes sense…she needed the best…"

Oliver's eyes widen at that, she couldn't be suggesting what she was but as he looks over at Diggle he frowns. Diggle knew something "Diggle…."
Diggle groans "The reason she was such a good mercenary was because she didn't exist…"

Oliver clenches his jaw before turning to Willow "Get Buffy on the phone now!" However before any of them could do anything the saviour's website goes live again another video broadcasting loud for the whole city to see.

"We're back. I have with me Assistant District Attoryney, Gavin Carnahan." And sure enough the camera turns revealing Gavin tied up and gagged in the exact same spot John had been just a few hours before. The Saviour was moving quick.

"Now, DAs are supposed to go after bad guys, but this one can't even be bothered to bring them to trail like the ones who killed my wide in a bodega."

"Willow." Oliver chimes making the redhead nod as her fingers again begin flying at an insane speed across the keyboard, as she tries to do her magic…no pun intended, Oliver turns to Diggle, "Call Buffy, if she knows this guy, she may have a way to him."
"You said there wasn't enough evidence. You think, the evidence would've turned up if she'd been killed one of Starling City's nicer neighbourhoods?"

"His name is Joseph Falk." A voice says causing the three of them to turn where a slightly dishielved Buffy was stood in the doorway wearing a man's shirt and her jeans, her hair was in a messy bun and her lipstick was slightly smudged.

"Where have you been?" Diggle asks causing the blonde to groan "Not the time." She mumbles before walking over to Willow "I saw the new video, didn't realise at first…but I know that voice. He always sounds like that when he clouds his voice. His wife Emma died a year ago today." Buffy couldn't help but sigh and run a hand through her hair "I sent flowers to him yesterday."

Willow who was bringing up all the information she could find on Joseph sighs as she spots the information there wasn't much.
"No current phone, no current address."

Oliver clenches his jaw and turns to Buffy "Where did you send those flowers?"
"He asked me to send them to a post office in the Glades. He must be hauled up in a warehouse there."

Oliver groans before grabbing her hand "Take me there. Now."

"Try 23rd and Mira. He's working off an IPX there."

At Willow's words Buffy spins the car round causing Oliver to clutch on for dear life, Jesus okay maybe Willow had been right about Buffy driving like a lunatic. Literally he had a feeling that he was more likely going to get killed in her car than have one of his enemies kill him.
"You should have let me drive!"
"I'm a good driver!" She argues glaring over at him, when he arches a brow she rolls her eyes "I'm right, you're wrong. Shut up." Sighing she turns back to the phone that was on the dashboard where they currently had Willow over speaker "Willow?"

"Carnahan…maybe shouldn't have been a lawyer."

Oliver sighs and as they take another frantic turn, which was probably going to get the blonde solider a very large ticket he turns to the phone "We're almost there."

The second they pull over Buffy frowns something didn't feel right, "Stay here." Oliver orders the blonde who rolls her eyes however as he runs into the building she tenses grabbing the phone she begins looking around "Will something doesn't feel right."

"He's not here Willow!" Oliver screams suddenly through his own phone which was linked up with their call.

Buffy's eyes widen and without another word the blonde jumps back into the car "Willow he's tricking you!"

"He just jumped to the other side of town! This…this isn't possible."

After dropped off Oliver back at the Lair Buffy runs a hand through her hair as she walks into her apartment. She should have known, Falk was smart, a whizz with a computer, he had played all of them. Sighing she pauses as she spots Felicity stood in the middle of the room staring at her computer in horror "You saw it?" She asks walking over to her cousin.

Felicity nods silently, that had been her first time ever seeing someone actually killed…and she kind of didn't know how to handle it.

Taking a shaky breath she walks over to the floor to ceiling windows and stares out at the city, her focus mainly on the Glades "I tried to track it…but he just…he would changed position in seconds to another part of the city…"
Buffy sighs and walks over to her cosuin, as much as she wished she was the type of person who could comfort someone she just wasn't…not anymore.

So awkwardly she places a hand on Felicity's shoulder and offers her a small sad smile before she moves to take a seat on the couch, with everything that had happened to do her mind was just spinning madly with all of these different thoughts. Honestly her mind felt like a freaking tornado right now.

"You okay BB?" Felicity asks as she moves to sit opposite her cousin with a look of concern on her face, sighing she offers her older cousin a weak smile "It's not your fault."

"I know that." Buffy says simply before shrugging "I just…I need to get back out there."

As Buffy stands Felicity's eyes widen in horror, she couldn't actually be serious, not even a week ago Buffy had almost been Beaton to death and so had her boyfriend. They had both almost died and now she wanted to go right back out there! Was she insane, it was bad enough that she went out today instead of healing but now this was crazy.

"Buffy you can't help people until you are healed!" She yells forcing her cousin to sit back down "Not without getting yourself killed. You wanna help people…you need to heal."

Buffy rolls her eyes but when Felicity mearly glares at her through her glasses the blonde winces, what was it about Hackers that gave them this terrifying aspect to them. Maybe it was knowing they could destroy your life with just their phones and wifi.

Sighing the blonde surrenders and leans back in her seat as she does her mind settles on a certain Doctor. The first man she had truly opened up to since she lost Lincoln. But being with her had gotten Lincoln killed, Dean had almost died last night…and she couldn't let go…at least not on her own.

As she thinks and contemplates what she could do to guarantee Dean's safety something came to mind, and it was going to hurt like hell. Turning to her cousin she hesitates for only a brief moment before closing her eyes tightly "Liz…" She whispers before opening her eyes trying to hide the tears threatening to break through "There's something I need you to do."

"Where's Diggle?" Oliver asks as he walks back into the Lair after Buffy had dropped him off.

Willow sighs as she turns away from the candle she had be staring at intently, she had been trying to light it, hoping to bring back some part of her magic. If she had her powers than none of this would have happened. The Assistant DA never would have died. In this moment she was at her worst since she had killed Warren, she felt useless, human and guilty.

"I needed some me time." Sighing she turns to face Oliver "You know…I've killed someone before."

At her revelation Oliver's eyes widen and he couldn't help but stare at her in shock, he just couldn't imagine how someone as sweet and bubbly as Willow could have ever killed someone.

As he remains in shock she sighs "His name was Warren. He killed the love of my life. Shot her and Buffy. Buffy survived Tara didn't….After I killed Warren I punished myself, I tried to become better. Help people…and today…I felt more useless then I ever have."

Oliver watches her for a moment before sighing "Willow…you're a good person…probably one of the best…this…wasn't you're fault."

Willow shakes her head, Oliver could be smart sometimes and there were times were he was just wrong "I lost the signal…and because of that Carnahan died. I didn't even realise it was wrong Buffy was the one that told me. I messed up. Like a whole 9-yards worth."

Five Years Ago - Palm Springs

Buffy sighs as she sits in the now empty bar with Gunn, the two of them waiting Patiently for Willy to wake up. They had to knock him out when he started to argue that they couldn't kick everyone of the demons out during the day. But she didn't have time for this and she doubted Gunn did either, she had school to get back to and Gunn clearly wanted to get back to L.A.

"Come on chatterbox…get with the talky…nowish." Buffy moans as she kicks throws her drink in Willy's face causing the snitch to gasp and jump as he finally comes back to the land of the conscious.
When Buffy pulls out a large blade Willy's eyes widen in horror "Not good." He breaths before panic fills him "Okay okay! You don't have to get with the slice and dice. Geez. You used to be sweet."

"I'm more salty now." She says with a smirk and shrugs while Gunn chuckles beside her before handing her a drink and then focusing his attention on the snitch "Angel…now."

Willy sighs before glancing around to make sure there was no one around, he had promised not to spill the beans on this but alas he didn't really have a choice right now "Look last I heard Angel had a bag thrown over his head…don't know by who or what but I do know where he was the night it happened. Club, boss man is big green guy red horns…kind of sweetheart if you ask me."

Gunn couldn't help but sigh, this had to be a joke "Loren." Sighing he turns to face the blonde Slayer "Looks like we're heading to Vegas."

Present Day - Starling City

Oliver and Tommy stand side by side in the club watching as the Saviour is revealed to have yet another prisoned this time, younger, couldn't be older then 20. A kid named Roy Harper.

As the Saviour beings him monologue Oliver is distracted quickly as his little sister runs into the room tears streaming down her face, running up to the screen her eyes widen in horror as she stares at the screen before a loud sob escapes her as Roy's face comes onto the screen "Oh god no." She cries in horror as she clutches onto her brother.
Oliver frowns in confusion as he watches his sister with concern "Thea."
Thea who was near hysterics just shakes her head "I didn't know where else to go."
Oliver frowns before placing his hands on his sister's shoulder, she knew something it was all over her face "You know him?"
"Roy he's my friend. We were in a fight and some guy came out nowhere and just attached us. He doesn't deserve to die."

Oliver's eyes fill with worry as he spots his sister basically falling apart in front of him, he had to find this guy "I promise you, he's going to be ok. You stay here with Tommy, all right?"

"Are you sure you made the right choice?" Diggle asks as he cleans Buffy's stitches on her leg which was nearly healed thank god.

Buffy sighs as she thinks back to what she had asked Felicity to do, while it sucked like hell, it was right, it was the only choice she had "Right choice yes. Least painful choice? Not even close. I feel like I've been hit by a truck."

"And this is why you don't sleep with them before you do it." Willow sings making Buffy roll her eyes "Have you seen his arms? Come on…plus he was all injured and cute. Plus arms."
"I don't like this conversation." Diggle moans in annoyance and disgust just as saving his mind of imagines of Buffy and Dean come Oliver strolling into the room.
"Anything?" He asks the red-head.

Willow shakes her head "Me and Buffy have gone through all the footage of everything he's posted to see if we can figure out where he is."
Buffy sighs before reaching into her bags pulling out the file she had done on Falk when she originally contacted him so that she could go dark. "I've gone through it all but there's no much. I was only in Starling City a little while."

Diggle who was listening to background noise from the video that Willow had isolated frowns, he knew this, somehow there was something so familiar about that noise "Willow show me a map, sites of the abductions and where we've seen the signal so far." As he watches the screen his eyes widen "Right there. 23rd and Mira. Locksley and Adams. Whale street down by the CNR—"

"Those are all subway stops with these awesome donuts by the exit." Buffy realises…when everyone stares at her she shrugs okay maybe the donut thing wasn't relevant, but they were good freaking donuts!

Oliver merely stares at Diggle and Buffy as though they were nuts and they were, they were talking about something that didn't even exist "Starling City doesn't have a subway."

"It used to." Diggle corrects him "When I was a kid my dad used to take me down to the Rockets game by subway. For 14 minutes I leaned against a window feeling the rhythm of the train moving."
Buffy's eyes widen and she scoffs, how could they have been so stupid "He used to work for city transporttation. I met him 2 years ago near one of the subway stations he was locking up. They were blocking up all the exits after some kids managed to get down into the tunnels... He wasn't using nifty hacker tricks..."

"He was on a train." Willow finishes as she jumps back onto this computer this was the whole reason she hadn't been able to get a read on him, he had been underneath them travelling underneath Starling City the whole time.

Oliver clenches his jaw at the revelation and yanks off his shirt as he begins to head towards his suit "Where is he now?"
"He's on the old cross town line. If he continues on this route, he'll be at the spring street stop in 15 minutes."

At Willow's words Buffy jumps out of her seat winces slightly at the sting in her leg causing her to favour her left side as she grabs her steal healing broken ribs.
"Let's go."
Oliver's eyes widen as he grabs his bow while Buffy grabs the motorbike keys "What…no way in hell, you're staying here."

Buffy scoffs as she grabs her baseball cap, there was no way in hell she was letting another person die by the hands of someone she knew, someone she had worked with, if she hadn't become a mercenary and had maybe stayed in The Glades this wouldn't be happening.

"I know this guy! I knew his wife…I can talk him down."

Oliver groans in frustration as he comes to stand right in front of the blonde vampire Slayer, he didn't know what it was about her but after she had sobbed in his arms, the way he found her covered in blood…he never wanted to see her like that again "I don't want you getting hurt!" He yells causing both of them to freeze.

Buffy opens her mouth but nothing came out and as she looks up Oliver's eyes catch hers and she takes a shaky breath as they hold eye contact both watching each other, as though they were sucking the air out of the room, it was just so intense.

Clearing her throat she sighs and grabs the keys before heading for the exit "I'm faster then you…so I suggest you keep up."
And before he could even move she was out the door, Oliver clenches his jaw in frustration this woman was driving him crazy.

As Oliver runs after her so she wouldn't leave without him Willow clears her throat, that had gotten real tense real fast, turning to Diggle who didn't look to pleased she sighs "Did you see that?"

Diggle nods and clenches his jaw "I better not have. I would hate to have to kill Oliver with one of his own Arrows."
