Hey guys! So sorry about the wait, I was on vacation. I've been super exhausted since I got back, but I finally have the time to post. I hope you like the chapter!

A few days later, Alex and Roy entered Verdant's basement together. They had decided not to tell anyone about their relationship yet, with the exception of Sin because she basically already knew. Part of it was due to Thea and Roy's history, and part of it was due to them wanting privacy.

"Hey, guys," Alex said when they entered to find the entire team assembled there. "What's up?"

"Not much," Oliver answered. "You here to train?"

"Yup." Alex walked over to where her katanas were kept. "Roy promised to try to kill me today."

"It sounds bad when you put it that way," Roy commented, grabbing his bow and quiver.

Alex laughed and adjusted her stance to prepare for Roy's attack. "How's your new job going, Felicity?" Alex asked as she stopped an arrow mid-flight. Felicity had just become Vice President of Palmer Tech, the company that had taken over Queen Consolidated.

"Fine," Felicity responded. "It's a lot of work to balance between here and there." She glanced at Oliver. "But I'm happy to do it, of course."

"Well, I'm glad you got a job with an actually salary," Alex said, taking down another arrow. "Sadly, saving lives doesn't always pay the bills."

"Hey, Ollie," Felicity said abruptly, "look at this." Oliver walked over to the computers, where Felicity had pulled up several recent newspaper articles. "There have been a lot of strange deaths lately where the victims bodies have just shut down. And all of them had a certain drug in their system."

"Does it look like a new form of vertigo?" Oliver asked, scanning the articles.

"No. It's a drug nicknamed Craze. It's a hallucinogen."

"I think I've heard of that once or twice," Roy chimed in. "It's supposed to be really powerful. That's probably why people keep taking it despite the huge risks."

"All of these deaths were in the Glades," Felicity pointed out. "Most drug related deaths are, but do you think that someone might be targeting the glades through the drug?"

"I don't know," Oliver said. "And I don't care if they're trying to kill people in the Glades, or are just trying to manufacture a new drug. People are dying, we need to put a stop to it."

He turned around to face the rest of the room. "I'm going to need a few of you out on the streets. We need to figure out where this drug is being sold if we're going to put a stop to it."

Alex, Roy, and Diggle all volunteered to help however they could. Soon, they were leaving to go gather information. Alex decided to talk to Sin and see what she knew.

It wasn't long before Alex found Sin.

"Hey," Alex said to Sin when she caught up to her in the street.

"Hey, Alex," Sin greeted her friend. "What's up?"

"I was hoping you might know something about Craze, that new drug," Alex explained.

"I know a guy who might know a guy," Sin said. "Why do you want to know?"

Alex glanced around, making sure there was nobody in earshot. Then she spoke quietly. "We've started looking into it. It's been causing a lot of trouble. So, what's the name of this guy?"

Sin gave Alex his name and told her where she could find the him. Alex thanked her and said goodbye before taking off down the street.

"I'm looking for a Howard Jenkins," Alex said to one of the first people she saw upon arriving where Sin had sent her.

She was in a pretty shady place, but she knew Sin wouldn't send her somewhere too dangerous without backup, right? Her hand automatically went to the knife in her pocket.

"He's over there," the girl Alex had asked responded, jerking her head, rather vaguely, to her left.

"Thanks," Alex said, not really meaning it.

There were quite a few guys where the girl had directed her. But, only one matched the description Sin had given her. Alex approached him confidently.

"You Howard Jenkins?" She asked.

"Why'd you want to know?" The man responded.

Alex took a step closer and lowered her voice slightly. "I'm looking for some Craze. I heard you could tell me where to get some."

"What's in it for me?"

Alex pulled out some cash. Oliver had given her some in case she got an opportunity to buy the drug, or something like this happened. Howard reached for it but Alex quickly stuck it back in her pocket.

"First," she said, "you tell me where I can get the drugs."

After she got the directions to an alley where Craze was being sold, Alex handed Howard the money.

"Pleasure doing business with you," Howard said, examining the cash.

"Likewise," Alex replied before she turned and left.

Once she was a few blocks away, Alex called Oliver.

"I've got a lead," she told him. "There's an alley where Craze is being sold. Or there should be at least, I don't see what the guy I got the information from would have to lose."

"Great," Oliver replied. "Come to the bunker at ten tonight, and bring Roy."

"Got it," Alex said, and ended the call.

Thanks to Cheshire Cat 800 for following and favoriting! And thanks to Highlander348 for reviewing. They said:

Good chapter! I liked that they kissed again and are now dating! I had a suggestion for later! Can Roy get kidnapped and Katana has to save him? Please consider it! Oh please! :)

Love the suggestion! It's a great spin on your typical boy saves girl stuff. It's quite likely I'll use it later. Thanks!
