A/N: I am so excited for season 2! I can't wait, it's tomorrow! We're gonna have Bronze Tiger, more Deathstroke, possibly Speedy and/or Arsenal, more Felicity, Canary and last but certainly not least the Flash! So this is officially AU from the show, it takes place about 2 months after the earthquake in the Glades. While I'm so ecstatic for the Flash, I want to keep this pretty grounded in reality, besides a guy who runs around shooting criminals with a bow and arrow! So, I hope you like it!


Arrow: Hooded Adventures

Part 1: Knight

Chapter 5: Opaque

"You know," Laurel said hand in hand with Bruce as they walked out of the restaurant, "I did not imagine I was going to have that much fun."

"Neither did I," Bruce smiled, "I'm glad you liked it. We should do this again some time."

"Yes, yes we should," Laurel smiled genuinely for the first time since Tommy had died. Bruce hailed a cab and helped her in, waiving goodbye.

After she left he turned and saw Oliver Queen walking toward him with the bodyguard, Mr. Diggle.

"Mr. Wayne," Oliver spoke with a fake smile, "I'd like to speak with you, I have a car waiting," He gestured to Diggle who was standing by a corvette, "Would you please?"

Bruce nodded and walked towards the car, Oliver nodded at Diggle and they both entered.

"I see you figured out my message," Bruce said, dropping the optimistic billionaire facade, "What do you want?"

"I see we both followed the same path," Oliver spoke, "Sportsmaster, I assume that was your message."

"Yes, I needed to see if you were the real deal," Bruce said, not apologizing, "And you are."

"Why do you want him?" Oliver asked, looking straight into Bruce's dark eyes.

"He's hunting the man who killed my parents," Bruce said, "I want to watch that man rot in prison, and your Chinese Triad has hired Lawrence Crock to kill Joe Chill. And you might be helpful in that takedown."

"Do you know where they're going to be tonight?" Oliver asked, eyes narrowing.

"Yes, southern docks," Bruce replied, "Crock's coming in from Coast City tonight, the Triad is going to be there to pick him up. If we arrive before him, take out the Triad before he gets there, so that we have the most dangerous target on his own."

"Sounds like you've thought a lot about this," Diggle said from the front.

"That plan took me five minutes to come up with," Bruce said in a bragging tone, "The problem is that we don't when Crock is arriving."

"You're saying we wait all night at the docks for them to arrive?" Oliver asked raising an eyebrow.

"Did you have plans?" Bruce smiled a fake smile, "Because you're going to have cancel."


"So," Felicity was sitting at the computer looking at Oliver in his costume, and Diggle sitting aside from him, cleaning his gun, "Let me get this straight, he baited you to the police and now he wants your help? Am I the only one who sees the disconnect here?"

"Felicity, there is a violent criminal coming to the city," Oliver said, exasperatedly, "And I need to do all I can to stop him before he drops a body here. Besides I thought you liked him."

"Yeah, that was until he blackmailed you into almost getting caught," Felicity said.

"Felicity," Diggle said, looking up at them, "Oliver has to do this, if we can make friends throughout the nation, we can almost completely eradicate violent crime."

"I got to go," Oliver said looking up at his watch, "Bruce should be waiting for me."


"You're late," Batman growled as he failed to look at Arrow as he kept waiting for the Triad, "I've been here for 20 minutes."

"Where are they?" Oliver asked in hood voice.

"Here," a spear raced between their heads, as Sportsmaster and China White stood ready for a fight, "Now, shall we begin?"

"Sure," Bruce turned in flash of light as China White and Sportsmaster were momentarily blinded and Batman launched himself at Sportsmaster. The battle continued as both Vigilantes struggled to get an upper hand, and the killer's deadly means kept them on the high ground. Sportsmaster took a last swipe at Batman with his staff, and he was launched down onto the ground.

"Batman!" Oliver flailed out, and China White took that moment to knock him off the roof.


"WAKE UP!" The yell ripped Oliver's eyes opened, Sportsmaster and China White were standing before him with Batman chained up behind them. And he now realised that he was chained up again with the hood still on, and Batman's cowl was also still on his head as well.

"We wanted to unmask you," China said, "But we decided that it would be so much more sweet if you were awake."

"Hnnrr," Batman growled, his hands fumbling behind his back.

"What was that?" Sportsmaster joked, "I couldn't quite hear you."

"Honor," Batman sneered behind his cowl, "It's what neither of you have."

"Really," White laughed, wickedly smiling, "And you do? A man who dresses up in a bat costume has honor? Could have fooled me."

"You made a mistake," Oliver said catching on to what Batman was doing, "You should have unmasked us, you forfeited your one card you had against us."

"Really?" Sportsmaster asked, "Because last time I check you were both tied up. Am I wrong?"

"Yes," Batman said as he ran toward China White, knocking her out. Throwing a batarang at Arrow, freeing him from the chains. BANG BANG BANG BANG Bullets flew at them as Batman disappeared in a flash of smoke.

"Run," Batman reappeared with China White pulled up against his chest, his arm around her neck, sneering. And as soon as all the triad goon's saw him, they followed his command.

"Lawrence Crock," Oliver pointed his bow at Sportsmaster's head, "You have failed this city!"
