"Can't we go any faster?"

"For the millionth time, no. You have to make do with normal transportation like the rest of us. Seeing as Impulse can't handle you."

"I would be able to handle her fine if she wasn't so damn tall!"

"Hey do you want to come over here and say that to my face?" Silence. "I didn't think so."

The large vehicle remained silent, while the heroes, who were still in their 'uniforms', grinned.

"I still don't see how blindfolding me is going to make a difference. It's not like I know anyone here apart from you."

"Well, it's better if you know as little as possible."

"Oh my God! I know some of these people don't I?" Lois turned around to face them, completely blinded by the black material covering her face.

"See why this is a bad idea? Bringing her, of all people with us? You're risking our identities to a reporter!"

"Lois isn't just a reporter guys! She wouldn't write a story about any of us."

"Oh sure. Isn't she the person who named 'Green Arrow' and has allegedly made it her mission in life to discover the identity of the Red-Blue Blur?"

"But I don't want to expose him! And besides, I thought that Green Arrow was a villain, not a hero. It's not like I'm going to do any good by exposing super-heroes to the world. It's the villains who I want to bring down, I sure as hell am not gunna make life any easier for scum like Lex Luthor."

Another silence filled the van, everyone obviously processing what Lois had said. Oliver couldn't help but smile at her, she certainly did have a way with words.

"Okay, she stays, but the blindfold stays on."

"Fine."

Oliver took it upon himself to keep the peace by running over the plan again, this had to go perfectly. "...and Lois you will wait with Chloe."

"What? You're kidding yourself if you think I'm not coming with you. And before you start with all of this 'trying to protect me' crap, just ask yourself this. If Wright is after me and Clark dead. Who do you think I'm safest with, a band of super-powered heroes or Chloe, who I am not going to put in danger for something that has nothing to do with her."

'Yet again, the reporter in her has a point.' Oliver hated to say it, but she was right. Chloe only had a healing power, which he doubted Lois was aware of, even so, Lois would ditch Chloe at the first chance she got. She might as well stay with him, where he could protect her. With one glance to his team, he answered, "Okay Lois, you can stay with me. But you have to do everything I say. And I mean everything."

"Fine." Lois was satisfied, but she couldn't shake the feeling that Clark was in way over his head with this.

"Okay Clark, there's nobody here. Now go onto the roof, and make sure that nobody follows you."

Clark headed towards the stairs, fully aware that nobody in the entire building used them. He started to head up, taking as much time as possible without seeming to be wasting time.

"Clark?"

He froze as the voice of Tess Mercer hovered above him.

"Tess, I was just coming to see you." Clark thought on his feet, thankful that he had an excuse to waste yet more time.

"Understandable, seeing as you and Miss Lane have been listed as missing by the police."

"It was all a part of our cover. We were investigating a possible link to the drug L-242."

"What are you doing Kent? I will kill your girlfriend if you do not make your way up to that roof now!" Wright's voice was agitated, but Clark couldn't just up and leave without causing suspicion, which would mean that Lois would be dead within seconds.

"And it's link to Harry Wright?"

"Completely unconfirmed, the criminals who we found with the drug have been receiving it from an unidentifiable source. Lois is working on possible leads now." Clark gave the information, knowing full-well that Wright would be listening.

"Well well Mr Kent, it seems that I have been underestimating the Daily Planet and its reporters. Who knew that the two people I happen to capture to be the very two researching me for an article. Very interesting Kent."

Clark smiled. He had gotten what he wanted. Wright was side-tracked and he could now spend as much time as he needed here.

"Well, I must say that I am impressed by your progress. It seems that you and Miss Lane make quite a team." Tess continued, a subtle smile touching her lips.

"I guess we do. We should have that article ready for you soon."

"I'm quite sure you will. I'll see you tomorrow Clark." Tess continued down the stairs, while Clark waited for a while before continuing towards the roof at a snails pace.

When he finally reached the burgundy door in front of him Clark reached forward and grabbed the door handle, completely aware that his time was running out. And his plan had to come swiftly into action soon.

"Mr Kent, so nice to see you." Wright stepped forward, eying Clark triumphantly. "Well done on your performance out there, it was truly inspiring."

"I'll take that as a compliment." Clark continued, "I can get you the Red-Blue Blur. But I need to call him, so he'll come and meet us."

"And how do I know that you're not lying and won't call the police."

"You've got Lois, and I can't risk her life like that."

Wright laughed. "I do don't I, you must admit Kent, this was a very ingenious little plan of mine, wasn't it? Here's your phone, make the call. But remember the price if you lose. And Miss Lane is watching as we speak."

Clark looked at him more confidently than he felt and quickly pressed the number one and called it.

"You have him on speed dial?"

"It saves a lot of time." Clark listened to the ringing, once, twice, three times. He was starting to lose all hope, but then there was an answer.

"Clark?"

Lois and and out-of-costume Oliver strode into the Daily Planet building. She now able to see, noticed the double-takes and shocked glances she was receiving. "Great, not only has everyone heard about me and Clark being missing, but now a whole new rumor is starting up because I'm walking in with my ex-boyfriend who also happens to be a renowned humanitarian. Great."

"Don't worry Lois, by Monday I'm sure you will have done something else life-threatening that will make the gossip and everyone will completely forget about this." Lois rolled her eyes at the comment, not even having to look over at him to know about the grin on his lips.

"Oh my God Lois! Thank God you're alright!" Chloe hugged her cousin, relieved that she was at least alive. "Thanks Oliver."

"What?" Lois broke away from her, and looked from Oliver to Chloe and back again. "Wait, Watchtower? You're Watchtower?" Lois whispered just loud enough for Oliver and Chloe to hear. "Seriously? You're a part of this whole league of justice?"

"Well Oliver needed a person he could trust who could find her way around a computer. It just so happens that I was their girl." Chloe smiled. "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you it was just..."

"No it's fine, I get it. You couldn't tell me because of the whole secret identity thing. I think it's really cool." She turned to Oliver. "You really weren't kidding when you put the blindfold on, I really do know some of your guys. Next thing I know you're gunna tell me that Clark is your big guns in the operation." Lois laughed, not noticing the sudden pale complexion of the two blonds.

"Anyway, we'd better go. I just got a message from Cyborg, he says that Wright has taken Clark up to the roof. Everyone's meeting us up there. Chloe, you know what you have to do?"

"Yep, I got the details you e-mailed me. Everything's set."

"Okay, Lois, we've gotta go."

They headed into the elevator, and Lois quickly punched in the button for the top floor, completely ignoring the string of swearwords emitted by every reporter who were forced to wait until the elevator was less occupied. Chloe controlled their travel from her computer, meaning that Lois and Oliver didn't stop once on their way up, and as soon as the doors pinged open, they fought their way through the crowd and headed towards the stairs, since the roof was one flight up.

Lois was besides herself, she sprinted up the stairs, taking four steps at a time and reaching the door to the roof before Oliver came up behind her.

"Now stay behind me and stick to the plan." She was about to answer, but then his phone rang. Once, twice, three times.

"You have your phone on?" Lois asked, a little annoyed.

"This is my emergency phone, only a few people have the number." He looked at the screen and his eyes widened. "Clark?"

Lois' head instantly snapped in his direction and Oliver put it on speakerphone. He put a finger over his lips, she nodded in agreement.

"Yeah it's me. Look I don't have a lot of time. But I need you to meet me on the roof of the Planet, I have a friend who wants to meet you." Lois' heart jumped when his voice sounded out. He was still alive and he was on the other side of this door.

"Are you on speakerphone?"

"No, I'm not."

"I've got Lois here, and the rest of the legion is on the roof with you, you can't see them but they're there. I'm standing outside of the door to the roof with Lois as we speak." Lois' eyes widened. Clark knew about the legion.

"So you can meet us?"

"All I need is you to tell me when and we're there."

A muffled voice in the background said, "Well? Is he coming?"

Clark paused before saying, "Are you sure?" then spoke away from the phone. "He wants to talk to you."

Oliver looked at Lois, he wasn't sure what Clark was planning but it certainly was imaginative.

"Hello? Is this the Red-Blue Blur?" Wright's anxious voice sounded, clear now.

"It depends who wants to know." It was cheesy, but Oliver decided to play it safe.

"You are speaking to Harry Wright. I need to speak to you. But first I would like proof that you are here."

"Proof?"

"I've got three roses hidden on the roofs of nearby buildings. Bring them to me, and I will know that I am dealing with the real hero." Wright barely finished the sentence before he let out a gasp, Bart was obviously in listening range. "Very impressive."

"Mr Wright, what is it exactly that you want?" Oliver went on, glad of his

"I want to talk to you. In person." Wright sounded polite, almost pleading.

After a moments deliberation, Oliver spoke. "What reason would I have to risk my identity to you?"

"I am aware that you are familiar with Miss Lane? Well she is currently resided miles away, locked and guarded by armed men. I also have your good friend Mr Kent, who has at least six guns pointed at him now and could die in seconds. There is also the matter with Metropollis General Hospital, which has a number of explosives hidden away. I have a switch that will instantly blow up the entire building. Now I know you're fast, but are you fast enough to save everyone? I'm going to guess at 'no'."

Oliver was silent, before he could think of something. Clark would be fine, sure he'd have Lois to explain to, but it's all fixable. Lois was here safe, so her safety wasn't a problem. But the hospital? Thousands of people were in that building, doctors, nurses, children. The city would never recover after that was lost. He looked at Lois who just nodded her head and mouthed 'just say yes'.

"Okay Wright, you have my attention."
