ROY HARPER

It was uncharacteristically quiet in Star City tonight.

I felt the light autumn breeze flow by and felt a presence behind me.

"Hey," I greeted, recognizing the presence.

"Hey," Black Falcon responded, and I could hear the small smile in her voice. She purposely allowed me to feel her presence. She was trained by the Dark Knight, after all. If she didn't want to be found, she wouldn't be found.

I didn't even hear her footsteps as she walked to join me, standing beside me. "I didn't pass by anything as I was coming here," she told me.

"Yeah," I nodded. "Don't know if it's because Canary and Arrow are on the other side, cleaning up the other half of Star City or if it's just unusually quiet."

I felt the wind pick up slightly and her hair tickled my bare arm as a result.

"Red, we've got intel that Brick's on Seventeenth," Green Arrow's voice entered my com-link. "Is Fal there too?"

"Yes, and you're closer," I pointed out. If I went at my fastest speed, I could get there in five, but Green Arrow could probably be there in three.

"Brick doesn't like you more. It's fun to piss him off," the older archer said nonchalantly. "Well, more so than usual."

"Seems fun," Black Falcon mused from beside me.

"… Did you hack my private com-link system again?" Green Arrow asked after a short period of silence.

"Indeed I did," Black Falcon mused.

"How many times have I told you not to?"

"Actually, you've never told me to," Black Falcon replied. "And it's a good thing I can hack into your com-link."

"Bats has you trained too well…" Green Arrow sighed, and I had to agree with that. Both Robin and Black Falcon were both formidable opponents, despite their young ages and small statures. It was a good thing they were on our side.

Black Falcon pulled out her gun, aimed, and fired. A long line shot out and hooked itself to the top of a building easily, and she took off. I shot my arrow, landing it right next to Black Falcon's line and headed off.

As expected, it took five minutes to arrive on scene.

We were on top of a building, looking down at a warehouse. With my binoculars, I could see Brick inside, ordering his henchmen around.

"Thirty-one, including Brick," Black Falcon counted easily, not taking her eyes out of her own binoculars.

"Betcha I can take down more guys than you," I said, before jumping off the building.

It wasn't really tall, only about twenty feet, so I landed easily on the ground. There was a strong breeze next to me and saw that Falcon had jumped down as well.

"Screw the stealth," Black Falcon declared, before charging right into the warehouse.

Immediately, gunshots rang out, but it didn't really concern me. The chances of Black Falcon getting shot was like the chances of catching smoke.

I ran in the warehouse as well, launching arrow after arrow at anyone that I saw. Black Falcon was jumping around, dodging various attacks and landing a few good hits of her own while shooting at the goons.

Unlike the goons, she actually hit her targets.

When all were down for the count, Brick glared down angrily at us, standing up straight to his full height.

Standing at six feet seven, 358 pounds, and a good two feet taller and 279 pounds heavier, than Black Falcon, the girl didn't even flinch.

"And this time Arrow sends a little girl too?!" Brick roared, pissed off.

"Please," Black Falcon scoffed. "It's an honor having me here."

"You're a really annoying brat," Brick pointed out.

"You have an annoying face," Black Falcon retorted. Brick roared angrily, and moved to punch her, but Falcon had speed on her side. She easily jumped out of the way, shooting bullets that didn't even hurt Brick.

She then launched something at him, and he caught it, but it shattered, causing ice to form around his arm. He growled and I ducked a kick from him and shot an explosive arrow at his face.

He sneered at me angrily and Black Falcon landed right next to me. I looked down at her and we nodded, exchanging a quick plan.

Falcon and I punched him in the gut together, and he stumbled. Taking advantage of his surprise, we shot our legs up and her foot connected with his gut while mine with his chin.

Falcon elbowed while I punched, and Falcon jumped up, pulling back her fist. It connected with Brick's jaw, and I heard a crack. Though, considering Brick's invulnerability, it was most likely Falcon's joints cracking, seeing as her gloves protected her knuckles most of the time.

Brick fell though, because of the weight of Falcon's hit and I finished it off by tripping him to the ground. While still in the air, Falcon placed a bullet into her gun and shot down at Brick.

I jumped out of the way just in time for the foam to surround Brick, and he angrily struggled. Falcon landed at his head and kicked it before throwing her elbow down, effectively knocking the man out.

Wow.

Props to her.

"Ugh, his voice is annoying," Black Falcon furrowed her eyebrows together. She looked around at the henchmen. "So… how many did you take down?"

"Fifteen," I answered easily, remembering the number.

Black Falcon frowned as we turned to leave the warehouse. "Me too…"

"Guess it's a tie," I smirked down at her.

We walked past a goon, who was slowly getting up. Black Falcon gave him a quick swift in the face, knocking him out. "Sixteen. Nope. I win."

"Real mature," I rolled my eyes, but internally, I was amused by her competitiveness.

"Never said I was," she shrugged. "So I win."

A/N: Boy, she sure loves to win, doesn't she? xD Olivia's checking the final parts of the next chapter for Black Falcon and hopefully, the next chapter will be out this weekend! :) Remember to vote on my profile for which sequel you want Black Falcon to have and don't forget to review in the box below! :D
