Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize! I think that's already been established! But, if you don't recognize something, and it doesn't make sense, please ask me about it and I will explain it.

Oliver was upset. The plane had broken, and they would have to spend the week in Gotham. When he told Felicity though, she almost seemed happy.

"Why are you so happy about that?" He questioned.

"I have some friends here who I wanted to see, and now I'll be able to spend more time with them now!" Felicity answered. Her phone rang, stopping any elaboration on the subject. She frowned and walked away to answer. Oliver called Diggle.

"I need you to trail Felicity tonight."

"Didn't we already rule out suspicious activity Oliver?" Came Diggle's tried voice.

"All I want to know is what friends she's visiting tonight." Felicity got off her phone and headed up to the room.

"When is she leaving?" Diggle asked, giving in.

"I don't know, I'll ask." He walked up to Felicity's room and knocked.

"Yeah?" she called through the door.

"When are you leaving?"

"Umm… in like thirty seconds. We may stay at their place tonight. In fact, we probably will."

"We?"

"Wally's joining me. Is that ok?"

"That's fine. Take as long as you like, just be back here in a week."

"Thanks!" Felicity called through the door, and Oliver heard a duffel bag zipping up. Felicity opened the door, and Wally followed her out. Oliver noticed that her bag was stuffed.

"Can I carry that for you? It seems heavy." Oliver asked.

Felicity shrugged. "I'm going to carry it to my friends place anyways." Oliver picked up the bag, and was surprised at how heavy it was.

"What do you have in there, bricks?"

"No, just a few… games, I guess you could call them, that I wanted to play with my friends." Oliver gave Felicity the bag back, which she took with ease. "Have fun with Diggle Oliver! If you need me, give me a call! I may not answer though. Bye!" Oliver put the phone back to his ear.

"Did you catch that?"

"Yeah, it does seem suspicious. I'm following."

~XXx~xXx~xXx~

Artemis was talking to Oliver in the lobby. She was thankful when her phone rang and saved her from further questioning. She frowned when she saw who the caller was. Dinah? What did she want? She walked away and answered.

"Hello?"

"Me and Roy are coming to Gotham, can we meet you guys somewhere?" Dinah said, getting straight to the point as always.

"Sure… hey, where do Dick and Barbra hang out? As in, where is their lair? I know that they're still active, even though they're the only ones that are." Artemis asked, realizing that she had no clue where to find her friends.

"The old Gotham clock tower. Meet you there?"

"Sure, we'll make an entrance!" Artemis said, grinning. She turned and walked past Oliver to her room, where she was going to pack.

Artemis packed her Tigress outfit, her black and orange compound bow, and a quiver of fifty normal bolts and fifty trick bolts. She was grabbing pjs and chatting with Wally, who had used super speed to pack, when Oliver knocked. "Yeah?" she called.

"When are you leaving?" came Oliver's muffled voice.

"Umm… in like thirty seconds. We may stay at their place though."

"We?" came Oliver's voice in response."

"Yeah, Wally's joining me. Is that ok?"

"That's fine. Take as long as you like, just be back here in a week." came Oliver's reply. Artemis frowned. It was not like Oliver to let things go that easily.

"Thanks!" Artemis called back, and zipped up her duffel bag. She walked out, with Wally behind her. Oliver talked her into letting him carry her bag. He commented on it's weight, and Artemis came up with a stupid excuse about it having games in it. 'At least it's not a complete lie.' she thought as she walked out the door, calling bye to Oliver and warning him she may not be with her phone.

~xXx~xXx~xXx~

Artemis stopped outside the old clock tower. It looked dark and foreboding. She chuckled. Just the place for Dick and Barbra to pick. "After you." Wally said gesturing for her to enter. She shook her head.

"We're waiting for Roy and Dinah, they said they'd show up."

"And here we are!" came Dinah's cheerful voice from behind them. They turned to see Roy and Dinah walking up to them with their own bags. Now a group of four, the walked into the building, and changed into their suits once they were out of sight. They then started walking to the top. Then Wally came up with the idea of entering from the roof, which everybody liked. So, he carried them one by one up above Barbra and Dick's lair. Artemis and Black Canary surprised the unsuspecting couple by crashing in through the sky light and landing behind them. Dick whirled around in full Nightwing gear, ready to deal with the intruders. Then he relaxed when his saw who it was. Barbra then turned too, and greeted the two girls with a smile.

"Hey girls, how are you."

Artemis grinned. "Good, we're just waiting for the boys." Roy then landed with a grappling arrow that allowed him to swing down, and Wally jump down like the girls did. Nightwing and Oracle stared at Wally in shock.

"You're dead!" said Nightwing, surprised to see his friend.

"I was resurrected somehow. Don't ask, I don't know how." Nightwing ran over and hugged his old friend. Oracle recovered quickly, and returned to her computer.

"What brings you four to Gotham?" she asked.

"I was down here on business with Oliver, and Wally came along as he is staying with me under the alias Wally Quick. I decided to visit, and Black Canary and Arsenal came last minute." Artemis grinned. "So, would you guys like any help with the crime in Gotham tonight?"

~xXx~xXx~xXx~

Diggle was confused. He had been following Felicity and her boyfriend, and they had stopped at the Gotham Clock Tower. He became even more confused when Roy and Laurel, both carrying duffel bags of their own, joined them. They entered the Clocktower together, and he didn't see them come back out. As he started to drive back to the hotel, he could've sworn he saw a red streak race up the tower. He got back to the hotel, and knocked on Oliver's door. He opened it, and invited Diggle in. "You're not going to believe this, but Roy and Laurel are in on whatever is going on. They met Felicity and Wally at the clocktower with their own bags, and went in. They didn't come back out, so I returned here. I hate to say it, but you were right. Felicity is hiding something from us."

~xXx~xXx~xXx~

Artemis was happy to be back in the action again. She had her Tigress suit on, which she had decided she liked better than her Artemis outfit, and was patrolling with Dick and Wally. Dinah and Roy were on the rooftops across from them, so the street was being watched from multiple angles. Suddenly they heard alarms coming from a warehouse a block away. Artemis grinned. This was going to be fun.

First things first - I am so, so sorry for not updating in a while. It was busy and hectic, and I will do better. I can update on week days now too, so I will hopefully be getting more things done.

Happy Reading!
