Title: Perceptions: Watchtower and Green Arrow

Author: mystic_blue17

Summary: [TRIO] How did the Checkmate decide that Green Arrow was the target? (set before Checkmate)

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters or plots nor do I plan on receiving any profits from writing about them. Well other than the constant stimulus from them and the plot bunnies that they inspire.

A/N: Moving along quickly within the miniseries. Another loop hole that I will try to fill- Why did Checkmate choose Green Arrow? I don't have much for this one. It's going to be a short one.

The control room was a buzz with activity. It was a complicated dance of minions to the buzz of machinery. "Surveillance is on?"

"Yes ma'am." a faceless solider answered.

"What are they doing?"

"It looks like The Blur is on tonight."

"Good." It was always a show when that hero was on patrol. "What is Watchtower doing?"

"Monitoring per usual."

"Interesting. Turn up the audio." The screen changed to display the audio frequencies. It wasn't like they could see the Blur anyways.

Over the speakers came a female voice. "There is a robbery off Main Street."

"Done."

"On 25th avenue, there is a pursuit occurring."

"Got it."

"Police are on the way. There is some suspicious activity going on at the docks."

"I'll check it out."

"Wait. There are reports coming in of a chemical fire near San Diego."

"Copy that."

"After that, Cyborg needs you assistance in Jump City."

"Ma'am?" her attention was drawn away from the screen by an intelligence officer.

"What do you have to report, solider?"

"I was working on the analysis of the vigilantes. There seems to be a very specific pattern."

"Explain." she prompted. She had no time for foolishness.

"I was referring to the increased amount of communication between Green Arrow and Watchtower."

"What evidence do you have in support?"

"There are various means of communication. But it is really in the sheer numbers ma'am. The team maintains a low level of communication at all times. Watchtower and Green Arrow communicate approximately three times more than any other. And if I may add they are … comfortable with each other." he said delicately. The higher amount of communication was a proven fact. The rest was just an observation he made while logging all of their communication.

"Very interesting solider." That information worked quite well with her own plans. "You are dismissed."

"Thank you White Queen." she swiftly left the control room. The next move needed to be planned immediately.

She returned to her office. She picked up her horse to put it in play. "Let's see how you like it when I take your knight."

"Your move, Watchtower."

A/N: That's #5. Like I said short. I didn't want to infer too much. I'm not as well versed in the way Checkmate operates. Stay tuned for #6(the conclusion of the miniseries).
