The teleport beam encompasses her after she fires a spread of arrow darts into a lump beneath the sheets. As she reappears on the pad, a clearly annoyed J'onn is there to greet her then demands she turn over all her Watchtower technology. She flings her I.D. at him in frustration before heading off to take her stuff from her room, which incidentally or maybe not is across the corridor from the room of the League's conspiracy theorist, the Question. She can hear him muttering through the closed doors so she enters, his attention is stuck on his computer screen, as she moves around the room, and he acknowledges her presence. Everything connects in his patterns with strings tied to pegs on a board, and of course she chuckles slightly at the things he believes to be connected especially Girl Scouts and prepackaged pop music.

She makes a deal with him, he helps her find Mandragora, she will tell him what she knows about Cadmus, but of course she knows almost nothing except the name and what is found in the reports Question made on the first encounter with Supergirl's clone. His attention is barely drifting as she crosses her legs and she stares to where she thinks his eyes are though for a man without a visible face, he could hold his space. She takes her stuff and beams back to the surface then rides her motorcycle to an underpass though as she gets off her phone rings, it is him. He says a lot of things before she starts saying anything back.

"All right Q. You said you'd help me. Where are they keeping Mandragora? Well?"

The call cuts off.

"Oh... you did not just hang up on me!'

Headlights cast her shadow against the paved asphalt beneath her, and as the car speeds towards her it makes a swerve casting some smoke before breaking next to her. A shade of purple paint, a well kept interior, and of course there is him too. As for being an eccentric personality, he certainly picks a good ride she thinks to herself.

"Figured I'd cut out the middleman."
"Oh, baby doll... and for the record, I usually prefer my dates to have a face."

He slides over as if to invite her in to drive, trusting a woman you barely know with your car what a gamble she chuckles inwardly, she slides into the driver's seat then grips the shifter.

She speeds off into the distance as he tells her that Mandragora's got federal and League protection pending a grand jury testimony hearing. He already knows that Oliver would definitely react to him turning up with Huntress because word gets around fast when someone gets the boot in the League, the mill is fast like that, but he had more important things to deal. He wonders why he is helping her, but for now that is like a catchphrase in mind, that is the question.

As they hop the fence, Oliver and Dinah are already outside, Dinah looks like she hurt her hand, probably gave the insulting walking hunger a piece of her mind for insulting Oliver. It fits since word got around of them of pairing off after Wildcat was in that Metabrawl business. Huntress or Helena is a close match for Dinah, but sparring with someone like Oliver gives her a new perspective knowing what moves to expect as well as how to deflect in a fight. She catches Helena's attempt to chest kick her so the two continue to tussle until Helena gets thrown into a car yet he holds out longer until Oliver does something unexpected flipping him over into Helena.

In the midst of all this, the walking appetite got away with his goons, but he already knew this would happen, the criminal had no intention of testifying, he is looking to skip town after he gets something important back safely. He passes off a bogus key to Dinah and at first Helena punches him though he relates what the real deal after the other couple is out of sight. He takes the driver seat this time speeding towards the docks where a freighter is in bound with Mandragora's 'cargo.'

Oliver had expected the deception, seen them leave, they found on Dinah's rebuilt motorcycle, but for this catch up he relates what he knows about Huntress' past as well as her connection to Mandragora. He sees her wiping away a tear, he got to the heart of it, the source of the patterns converging on this night, the lace or thread of Helena Bertnelli's tapestry, so end of line, and it all falls into place. She demands he get to the point finally after that getaway down a train tunnel, the same tunnel where Dinah's rebuilt bike gets trashed while its passengers are beamed to the bay.

Dinah takes out Mandragora's bodyguards, but she is no match for the physical toughness of the big man. Oliver tries to come to her aid, his arrows are useless, Question jumps onto his back, but both men get the toss just as a little plump boy runs towards his father. She steps into the light shouting her target's name then aims her crossbow gun, but then she notices the boy go behind his father.

"…you want this?"

Her child self coalesces with this boy, then he runs Dinah goes to shield him as does Oliver shield both his lover and the kid. Huntress fires, the arrow shot clips the crane wires, the load falls on Mandragora knocking him out, and she whispers 'no its not' as she walks towards his unconscious form. The target is taken back into custody, his son is sent off with child services, and now she confronts him. He had been expecting yet he is finally coming to an answer, this is where the thread of the pattern that made him opt to intersect his search with hers.

The space where their lives collide, the moment where he admits his attraction, the gesture where she tugs on his tie, the pressure that alerts him to their lips connecting, the momentary disgust in Dinah's words, and the brief shrug in Oliver's posture. She pulls him along by the tie to show him where this thread is about to lead him, but this is one of those equation that adds up when you forget everything except what the kiss represents as two variables become one entity.

The question is the time between kisses and the answer is just her desire to physically thank him for helping her even if he did not understand why he did except he did, the answer was her, he did it because she had the answer to the question of his attraction to her.

A/N: It is mostly Question/Vic Sage POV, but occasionally the thoughts/actions of the others enters like Helena, Oliver, and Dinah. More or less what goes with Question during the JLU episode Double Date. I went for a relatively Question sounding segment.
