Oliver and I were both working out. He was doing pull ups on the roof.. And I was doing the step ladder. "John Nickle is one of the wealthiest real estate developers in Starling City. He's also one of the dirtiest. That building that burnt down last night. Wiring was not up to code." He said. Felicity said "Maybe he don't know that." Oliver then continued "I guess he also didn't know about the seven people who have frozen to death in his other buildings in the past few years." Dig then said "Yeah he's a real man of the people" I then said from the step ladder "Not for long." Oliver dropped down and nodded "The DA ignores this, and the police can't do anything because all these slums, are in the glades." I then dropped down from the ladder and said "So tonight, Felicity, we cross Mr Nickel's name off the list. You're okay with that.. Right?" Felicity then said "100 percent." I then said 'Lets remember not to lose sight of the real mission though. The Dark Archer is still out there and the Undertaking is happening soon. We need to stop it. Hopefully.. Crossing off these names will bring us closer to the Dark Archer.. Or maybe we might get lucky and his name is one we cross off the list." Dig then said "Something tells me we won't get lucky though." I then said "Well as far as the timeline is concerned.. Its not me telling you."

That night Oliver and I snuck into Nickle's penthouse. To find it trashed.. Like a fight had taken place. But Nickle was gone. "Well... this is new." I said. Oliver looked at me "And not good. There may be another party in play that we do not know about." We did a quick sweep of the place to make sure no one was there then we left to go back to the Foundry.

"So he was gone?" Felicity asked. "Not only gone.. But taken." I said. Dig said "Looks like Nickle was on someone elses list too." Oliver then said "After the fire last night.. Its not surprising. Felicity.. I need you to get me everything you can on Nickel. Focus on his tenants, and anyone who might have filed a formal complaint against him, or maybe lost someone in the fire." She then said "Well, its going to be some list. I mean, slum lords aren't exactly know for their popularity. Plus.." "What?" Oliver asked. She continued "Nothing.. Its just you went over there to be all 'grr, stop being bad or I'll arrow you' and now you want to rescue him." I then interjected "He has never once said grr... if he did.. I'd arrow him myself." Oliver then said "I don't like the idea that somebody dangerous is out there" I then finished his sentence "Other than us.. Of course." Oliver then continued."Typically.. They don't show my level of restraint.. David is literally the only exception." He then began to ready up to go back out and Diggle said "You are going back out there again? Shouldn't you go home to be with your family?" He then said "When the work is done Diggle." Dig then took the list and said "Then I'll take you out to get something to eat then." I then told Oliver "Go, eat.. I'll head out myself." Felicity then turned around in her chair and said "Nu uh. I am not spending another night alone in this dreary place. You will get some sleep, I'll listen to your calm breaths to keep myself calm as I compile this list that would make the Dark Archer jealous." I rolled my eyes "Oliver.. I think they tag teamed us." He nodded "I think they did.. I'll bring you back some take out I guess." and we parted.. And I got some shut eye.

"David. DAVID! WAKE UP!" I woke up to yelling "What... what.." I mumbled. Felicity said "Come here. Now." she then called Oliver saying she had found Nickle.. I then watched the recording "If you live in the Glades, then you know who this man is. John Nickel. He owns your tenements, manages your slums. Provides the leaking roofs over your head. The mold in your pipes..the Asbestos in your walls. Basically he makes money off our suffering. But the Police aren't interested in helping us. They may have let us down. But I won't. John, I want to give you the chance to state your case. Why shouldn't you be punished." The voice changed person said. The beaten up and tied up John Nickle had the tape ripped off his mouth. He then said "I knew there was bad stuff in my buildings-" Oliver's voice the cut in "Track him, Felicity." "I'm looking" she said. "- ok yes, I made a little profit. At least they had a place to live. Without me people like that would end up on the street." I then said "Hurry Felicity, I'm starting to root for this new Vigilante.." "Hurrying!" The vigilante continued "People like that? That's all we are to guys like this. I find you.. Guilty." He then shot Nickle and put the camera down. "There are plenty more people who need to answer for their crimes against us. So... who's next?" The recording ended. I looked down.. Before walking over to the list and crossing out Nickle's name.

I then sat as Oliver came back trying to help Felicity but ultimately getting in her way. Dig then came in with a tip.. The guy was code named the saviour. I said "How come he gets a cooler name then we do?" But my comment was ignored as the Savior started his stream again "We're back. This time with assistant district attourney Gavin Carnahan. Now DA's are supposed to go after the bad guys. But this one can't even be bothered to bring them to trial. Like the ones who killed my wife in a bodega.-" I 'pfted' "Wow... what a Rookie." Oliver then said "Felicity.." She then said "I'm on it." "-They said there wasn't enough evidence. You think the Evidence would have turned up if she'd been killed in one of Starling City's nicer neighborhoods?-" Felicity found the wife "Emma Falk, grieving husband is Joseph falk. What do we have on him." Oliver asked "42, former city worker department of transportation, computer technician. Left his job when she was killed one year ago today. No current phone, or address." Felicity said "Bingo, That's our 'Saviour' Good work Felicity!" I said. "-Gavin, you are a lawyer, you're used to making a case. So go ahead. I'm going to give you ten minutes to deliver the closing argument of your life. 10 minutes to convince me not to blow you away." Oliver then said "Come on!" and we waited for something to go on.

"I got him!" Felicity said "Shut him down." Oliver said "I can't he's got me locked down." Dig then said "David, Can't you create like.. A storm or something to disrupt the signal." I looked at him "Doesn't work like that Dig.. I need to at the very least be close to or in sight of the target. Not to mention using that power would attract the attention of SHIELD.. And unless you want the younger and much less Vigilante friendly version of me coming to stop us.. We need another plan." Oliver then said "An address Felicity.. David and I will take it from there." "IPX located at 23rd and Mira." Dig then said "Hood up" I then said "No time." Oliver continued "It's the middle of the day." he grabbed a bike helmet, I didn't bother "That is only an issue because you don't wear a mask.. Or a big enough hood." I smirked but we got on the bikes and drove off.

We arived at the building and began searching it, level by level. "We're running out of time." I said. Oliver just grunted as he kicked down a door "I know." We searched every room and came up on the roof. Nothing. Oliver said on Coms "He's not here Felicity! I have searched every office on every floor. Is this the right place? Are you sure" She only said "oh crap." "What?!" I asked. She then said "How is this possible, wait.." "Talk to us!" Oliver yelled. "He moved just north of you, Ocean and Grand." "On our way." I said and we began running, hoping parkour style from roof too roof. Oliver got by on pure skill.. I used a little winds help to control my fall and jump, but I was using mostly skill as well. When we could run on roofs no more Oliver began climbing down the fire escape. I jumped. Fell 10 feet, kicked off the wall of the ajacent building and grabbed the railing of the fire escape. I then kicked off of that and repeated the trick.. Over and over until I was on the ground, beating Oliver. We then kept running.. I could swear I heard him mutter "Show off."

We made it... to a vacant lot "We're at Ocean and Grand Felicity. That's just a vacant lot!" Oliver said. Fel said "How can this be.. Thats not.." "Find the right Address now!" but it was too late. Dig then came on Coms "Oliver.. David.. Its over.. Carnahan's dead.". "No!" I yelled, kicking the ground .Thunder boomed.. And the already cloudy sky started to rain. I looked over at Oliver.. My face twisted in rage at myself for not being quick enough. His face too was angry.. But more calm then I was. We had lost.

We returned to the Foundry to find just Felicity. Oliver asked "Where's Diggle." Felicity said "I asked him to leave me alone. In my loud voice" Oliver and I looked at each other "This wasn't your fault" Oliver said. Felicity said "I was the one who was supposed to find Carnahan.. And I was the one who sent you that bogus location. I've never seen anyone day." I then gently placed a hand on her shoulder "Fel... we all make mistakes.. Especially in this line of work... Once I was working with Black Widow and Captain America. We were being hunted by the Winter Solider. Well he got the drop on us.. Our car crashed.. Everyone was able to bail but me.. I was severely wounded.. And by the time I had gotten a suit to actually fight back.. Black Widow and engaged the Winter Soldier and got shot in the chest... She was my girlfriend.. I was supposed to protect her.. And I failed due to not bailing out in time. The moral of this story is that after that.. I was able to help Natasha get help and live.. And later saved her life from our Enemy. Keep fighting..or else everything leading up to now would be for nothing." I then left her to her thoughts, now reeling in my own.. Missing Natasha.. Wanting more than anything to hunt down Bucky Barnes now to kill him before he could hurt her...

The news showed more live footage from the kidnapper. "Meet Roy Harper... arrests for larceny and robbery, aggravated assault. And Yet.. You're out on the street. Another gang banger in the Glades running free. Like the ones who killed my wife. I'm from the Glades too, and it didn't turn me into a criminal" I had not seen this man in many years, but my breath hitched in my throat. The man would one day become Arsenal. I pulled out my phone and texted "Foundry. Now." and waited for Oliver to arrive. We had to find Roy.. Or that future would be at stake. I looked over at Felicity and said "You need to find him now... Time to keep fighting Felicity." Oliver then came down stairs "Anything?" Felicity then said "I'm trying to find anything in the video that will tell me where this guy is.. I've found nothing but this sound. Here I have isolated it." I listened in with my elven hearing. "Its something mechanical.. Bigger than a car." Dig then said "I know this.. Felicity.. Show me a map with all the abductions so far. 23rd and Mira..wait.. These are all subway stops!" "Starling City has a subway? I got to start using that." I said. Dig said "Not anymore.. But my dad used to take me to see games by subway. For 14 minutes I'd lean against the Window, feeling the rhythm of the train moving." Felicity then said "He was at 23rd and Mira.. But he was underground. He used to work for the department of transportation so he knows all the old subway stops. That is why the signal was moving. He was moving. He is in a subway car." I grinned "You're a freaking genius Felicity. Oliver. Suit up." We then went to suit up. Oliver offhandedly mentioned "You are anxious to get out there." I nodded "Roy Harper is an old friend.. One's who survival is vital to Starling City." He finished suiting up and I did shortly after. He then got the location they would be in 15 minutes and we left to save Roy.

Oliver fired an arrow into grate and it exploded open. We dropped down into the Subway. He slide down the rope first, me second. We then made our way through the cramped underground hallways. We found the subway entrence just as the car was driving by. Oliver crashed through one window, I crashed through one further down the car. Oliver threw a dart at Roy, it hitting by his hand, I threw one at the other hand. Oliver and I both notched arrows and pointed them at Falk. "Let the kid go. You kill him now and He'll never get an opportunity to change. You can give him a second chance." Oliver said. I then added "He needs that second chance. Starling City still needs Roy Harper." Falk then said "We're the only ones who can save this City. We can't stop them alone." Oliver then yelled "We're not the same!" Falk then said "You have killed people for this City.. So have I. What is the difference between you and I? Emma never got her second chance. You have no idea how lonely it is." I then said "Joseph. We understand how lonely it is.. But it doesn't give you the right to kill people in cold blood." He then said "You have eachother.. The Hood and The Ghost.. Two sides of the same coin. He deserves this. He's a gangbanger like the ones who killed her.. He's no different then them. Now I get to gun him down." 'Don't do it!" He turned and fired. However Roy had used the throwing darts to escape and was able to dodge the bullet. No hesitation this time.. I loosed the arrow and Oliver did, both shooting Falk in the back. I looked at Roy.. Scared.. Upset. "Roy Harper." I said "You have been given a second chance. Do not fail this City." Oliver and I then left to return to the foundry.

Oliver and I were In the club when Roy arrived. He looked at me as I watched Roy fondly with a smile on my face. He then said "Roy.. Is a part of Team Arrow in the future.. Isn't he?" I looked at Oliver and said "Spoilers." with a small smile. His lips curled into a small smile himself. "I guess I will have to stay tuned to find out." I nodded "Does this mean you agree with Team Arrow now?" He shook his head "No, not a chance. We will never call ourselves that. But I do have to admit.. Felicity, Diggle, Me, You. We make a good team." I nodded "That we do Oliver. Lets hope its good enough to change History." He nodded back. "Excuse me.. I am going to get some air."

I went down to the foundry to Dig and Felicity talking. I then said "Another day.. Another life saved." Felicity then said "And taken." I looked down "Falk left us with no choice. It was him or Roy..That was no contest for me." That is when Oliver came down and said to Felicity "If you ever need someone to talk about your day with.. You can always talk to me." I smiled "We're really more like a support group then anything." Oliver then said "Whats this?" gesturing to the screen "Its an old map of the de-commissioned subway line." "I've seen that Map before. It was right in front of our faces the entire time. My Father, the Dark Archer, The undertaking, whatever the plan is.. It's all connected to the Glades." He then turned on me and said "David, Did you know this?!" I nodded "You're right. It is connected to the Glades." He then pointed at me "4 months ago, when you first came down here talking about saving the City like I could not before.. That a part of Starling City was destroyed.. It's the Glades isn't it. We fail to save the Glades. The Glades are destroyed." I nodded "Yes. They are partly destroyed. Many lives are lost. But this time will be different. You have my knowledge of the Undertaking.. The Dark Archer. All of it. Do you trust me to reveal the information when the time is right?" He pursed his lips and he said "How sure are you that you can stop this?" I then said "With your help? You told me what the Undertaking was, who the Dark Archer was. I know everything there is to know about it.. So yes. We can save this City Oliver. Together." He nodded "Then I trust you. Don't make me regret it though." "I won't."
