A/N: Did you guys see the Mid-Season finale, and now SPOILER WARNING Slade is back, I really want Slade and Brother Blood to up against the League of Assassins and Team Arrow to get dragged into the mix. Also am I seriously the only one who thinks that Oliver is better with Laurel than he is with Felicity? I mean it's not that I don't like her character, I just think that they have more a friendship than a relationship, anyway that's my rant for this chapter, I hope you like it! Just a warning, there is some mild cursing in this chapter, so if that bothers you, I guess don't read, idk.


Arrow: Hooded Adventures

Part 2: Initiation
Chapter 7: Saviors

The door of the Queen house was kicked down by nearly two dozen armed men and women with guns.

"What the hell is going on here?" Thea yelled as she rushed into the front hall, "Who the hell are you people?"

"Ms. Queen," A well-built blonde man in a suit stepped into the house, "I am Agent Justin Parker of ARGUS. I have a warrant for the arrest of your brother please turn him over immediately, and we won't have a problem."

"Is this about the quake?" Thea pleaded, "Oliver had nothing to do with that!"

"Parker what the hell are you doing here?" Diggle and Oliver came running as soon as they had heard the crash.

"Stay out of this, Dig," Parker said, and he motioned to his men, "Grab him!" they did as he ordered, "Let's move," he looked back as they left, "We'll send someone by to repair the door."

It took a few minutes for the reality of the situation to set in. Thea and Diggle were left standing there, both were shocked by the turn of events.

"What the hell just happened?" Thea asked, turning to a man she barely knew, "Did you know him?"

"I'll be back," Dig said running out, "I have to figure something out."

"Wait where are you going?"


"Will you get off me?" Four men in black and dark blue armor with A.R.G.U.S. logos on their chest were dragging Oliver Queen down a corridor, "I can walk on my own. I'm not drunk."

"Yeah guys he's not drunk!" Parker laughed, "He's too smart to get drunk on purpose. I mean it's not like he got drunk on the news constantly! Right?"

"Very funny," Oliver understood that he was trying to get a rise out of him, he also understood that while Parker was feigning stupidity he was actually quite intelligent, "But I won't fall for any of your games, I'm not what you think I am."

"Yeah, yeah whatever," Parker said rolling his eyes, he motioned to the men, "Put him Interrogation A, don't let anyone see him unless I give approval."

"Agent Parker," A black women dressed in a knee length black skirt and white blouse, "I didn't give you authorization to bring Queen in, the board has not authorized your proposal. And given your unprompted and brash actions, there is little doubt that will not accept it."

"THEY HAVE TO," In one moment Justin had lost complete control of the room, "Director Waller, this is the only sane response to rise of Vigilantism, if we can control people like Katana, Wildcat and Onyx, then they can will be a great help to America's interests."

"And you think Oliver Queen is the key to that mission?" Amanda Waller asked skeptically.

"No, I think Batman is the key," He answered, somewhat resigned, "But we don't know shit on him, and from the very limited information we do have, we know that we can't control him, and I think we can control Oliver Queen."

"Are you sure about that?" She asked pointedly, "He easily made on your game."

"Yes," Parker admitted, "But he resigned to the fact that he knew it was a game, which shows intelligence, and his cover is a drunk idiot, and I think you understand where I'm going with this."

"Yes, you're breaking down his walls of defense," Amanda said, "You may go ahead with the investigation."

"Thank you, Director," he nodded, graciously.

"Don't fuck this up," Amanda said as she walked into the viewing room.

"Well," Parker looked up and closed his eyes, "Here goes nothing, please don't screw me over again God."


"Felicity!" Diggle came running down the stairs into the lair, "I need you hack into A.R.G.U.S. immediately!"
"What exactly am I looking for inside A.R.G.U.S.?" Felicity asked opening the computer, "Anything specific, Deadshot?"

"Look for anything about Justin Parker," Diggle responded quickly, pacing behind his female colleague.

"Who is that?" Felicity said multitasking, "Master criminal, genocidal dictator-?"

"He's an old war buddy of mine," Diggle said stopping and looking at Felicity's curious face, "He just came to the Queen Mansion and arrested Oliver, had a whole A.R.G.U.S. SWAT unit and everything."

"Do you think he knows about…" Felicity started and paused, her face pale with fear.

"I think so but I can't be sure and if they don't know already," Diggle said, restarting his frantic pacing, "I don't want to tip our hand to them."

"I'll start looking for anything," Felicity spoke returning her attention the screen, "But it should take at least an hour to find anything."

"Oliver might have that much time Felicity!"

"Do you think I don't know that?" Felicity yelled back, "I'm as scared as you about this, I could go to prison and I don't want to go to prison right now," She turned back to the computer, "Oh god…"

"What is it?" Diggle asked, scared about what Felicity had found.

"A.R.G.U.S. has upgraded their systems," Felicity said, her eyes still glued to the screen, "This is like Alien hard to get into."

"You've hacked alien systems before?" Diggle raised an eyebrow.

"No, but I imagine that it would be really hard to do," Felicity explained pointedly, "And this could take me a couple of days to get into," She turned to back to Diggle, and then there was a PING, "Oh shit."

"I don't think I've ever heard you curse," Diggle pointed out, "What's wrong?"

"You know it's bad when the place that you're hacking into is sending you messages," Felicity said, leaning back and sighing, pointing the part of the screen that read, 'Hello Ms. Smoak, I see you're having a bit of trouble,' "This is really bad, they probably got angry from when I hacked them for the Deadshot thing."

"You can figure something out," Diggle wiped sweat off of his forehead, "You always do."


In Gotham City, Dr. Crane was combining several serums to create a new, more potent fear toxin. His mind was completely focused on the task at hand, that's why he didn't notice a man in a white cloak enter the room.

"Hello, Dr. Crane," A sinister, yet nearly sing-song voice spoke.

"Who are you?" A distorted voice came out from behind a burlap sack, "Do not doubt my propensity for fear!"

"No need to threaten me!" The voice spoke again, "I am a friend, and I have a proposal for you."

"What is it?" Scarecrow turned to face the man in the cloak.

"Have you ever heard of the Secret Society?" The man said in his sing-song voice.

"They're a myth," Scarecrow said simply, turning back to his work.

"Oh, I'm afraid not," the hooded figure was smiling behind his mask, "We are very real, and we're looking for new members, and your name is on the short list."

"When do I start?"
