Arrow: Hooded Adventures

Part 1: Knight

Chapter 2: Confrontation

"Oliver," Diggle said as he struggled to keep up with Oliver's quick pace, "Are you sure this is the best idea? This guy might be good."

"I don't trust him," Oliver stated plainly.

"Maybe you're just jealous," Diggle said seriously.

"I'm not jealous of a guy who dresses up in a bat costume," Oliver said, trying to convince both Diggle and himself.

"Just checking," Diggle said still not convinced.

"So, just to be clear," Detective Lance was skeptical of the victims account, "You were attacked by a giant bat?"

"YES!" The man was exasperated, "and then in a deep voice he said; 'WHERE IS JOE CHILL?' and he said he was Batman."

"Great," Quentin muttered.

"Can I go now?" The victim asked hopefully.

"No, you're a drug dealer, you're going to prison," Quentin got up and walked to his desk, "Great we have a guy with a bow and arrows, and now a guy who dresses up like a bat. What are we going to have next Bunny Boy? Hey you," he point at an officer getting coffee.

"Yes sir?" the officer asked.

"Are you doing anything right now?" Detective Lance asked.

"No, sir."

"Can you look up anything you can find on a 'Batman'? Oh and find out who Joe Chill is, too."

"Yes, sir."

"Yes I am taking over the Merlyn Global Group," Someone had turned on the television and Bruce Wayne was answering questions outside of Merlyn Tower, "We want to move the Merlyn name away from the tragedy in the Glades, We will also be diverting funds from both Wayne Enterprises and the Merlyn Global Group to the relief fund for the Glades. That will be all for now."

"Who's that?" Laurel walked in to talk to her father.

"Bruce Wayne," Lance said, "Don't fall in love with him."

"Why would I fall in love with him?" Laurel asked exasperatedly.

"Because he's your type," Quentin said raising his eyebrow.

"I have a type?"

"Billionaire, Playboy..."

"Fair enough,"

"Now what do want, Laurel?"

"Can I have a lunch with my dad?"

"Sure, why not," Quentin smiled and stood up, grabbing his coat, he took gently by the arm, and walked out of the building.

"Oliver," Felicity came running in with her tablet under her arm, "I found something on your friend Wayne!"

"He's not my friend," Oliver said, they were in the basement of Oliver's club Verdant. Hit had been affected by the artificial earthquake, but he had put some money into bringing it back.

"Yeah whatever," Felicity rolled her eyes, "You know it's ironic that you say that because he is exactly what you used to be and..."

"FELICITY!" Oliver and Diggle nearly shouted her name.

"Sorry," Felicity spoke.

"What did you find?"

"Well, I found a whole in his budgeting," Felicity said connecting her tablet to the computer, showing them her findings. He's been funneling the money into Applied Sciences, unfortunately, I couldn't get into what he was doing but, he could be trying to recreate the bomb that Merlyn used."

"Well that wouldn't work because Queen Consolidated has the plans to make the bombs," Oliver said, "They have got Unidac Industries."

"Yes," Felicity said, "But Wayne might not know that."

Batman was running from rooftop to rooftop, chasing a criminal towards the docks. The man was fast, but Batman was fast too, too fast. He easily caught up to the criminal at the docks. He off of the warehouse's roof and slammed the criminal onto the ground.

"Zsasz," Batman growled, "Why aren't you in Gotham?"

"I could ask you the same question," Zsasz smiled menacingly.

"It wasn't a joke!" Batman nearly screamed, "We've wised up to your act Bats, you don't kill."

"That doesn't mean it won't hurt," Batman snarled, and he brought his fist down on Victor Zsasz's face.

"BATMAN!" A dark low voice shouted from a rooftop, "YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CITY!" And an arrow towards his head, and Batman spun around and caught the arrow in his hand, and with a defiant look snapped the tip off.

"I've done my research," Batman smiled menacingly, "And you have no idea what I can do."

"Get out of my city before it kills you!" The vigilante yelled jumping off of the roof.

"You think I haven't seen deadly, I'm from Gotham!" Batman snarled at his foe.

The vigilante launched several more arrows at Batman, and leapt back and did a flip, simultaneously launching two projectiles at him that appeared to miss.

"You missed," the vigilante smiled.

"Did I?"

Oliver looked at his bow and realised that one of the projectiles had cut the string on his bow.

"Crap," he said under is his breath, and slightly angry he charged at Batman, "Ahh!"

Batman easily flipped him on his back and pinned him on his back. They stared into each other's eyes, finding no solace or peace, nothing other than pain of suffering. Oliver then brought his fist up to Batman's face, but was immediately blocked by his hand.

"I'm stronger than you!" Batman yelled, "I'm smarter than and you! I am superior," He then looked up for a second and realized that Zsasz had flown the coop, and it was that second that Oliver flipped himself back over. Unfortunately for him, there was a knife on the ground, and it cut deep into Oliver's arm. Fortunately for him the sleeve of the hood soaked up his blood so none of it was on the dock.

He looked up realized that Batman was gone, damn maybe he isn't the only one who can do that.

Oliver staggered into the Arrow Cave, without his hood on and looked at Diggle and Felicity.

"Oh my god!" Felicity shrieked, "What happened?"

"Batman," Oliver spat, he raised his sleeve showing them the deep wound, "Diggle, I need the wound sterilized and a bandage."

Twenty minutes later Felicity had returned to her apartment and Oliver and Diggle were sitting his office.

"Diggle," Oliver raised his head from his hands, "This guy is good, he's better than Merlyn, he's better than me. I'm gonna need a lot to take this guy down, so much more than I thought. I underestimated this guy, he may be my greatest foe of all time. I thought Merlyn was true enemy, but I was wrong, this guy is my arch-enemy.
