Green Arrow Beyond Episode 2

I woke up at around 10 AM on Saturday, the morning after I became Green Arrow. As a superhero, I expect to have few hours of sleep, but I want to start my hero career off slowly. After I got dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and a green shirt, I went downstairs to make myself some breakfast. I put some whole wheat bread into the toaster. Then I saw my grandpa on his chair, reading the news on his portable device. "Hi grandpa, what are you reading?"

Grandpa looked back at me with a slight smirk, "Just this article on how a new vigilante took down four goons, but was too late to save the victim."

This got me to widen my eyes, "What?" I asked louder than should have.

"Yeah, the victim managed to call the police before getting shot."

"Can I take a look at that please?" I asked.

"Sure, no problem honey." Dad answered a little unsure.

"Thanks." I said as I read the article in complete shock. 'When I left he was fine, and there were five guys and they were all unconscious, I mean I saw the police arrive the only way…oh no!'

"Are you ok?" Grandpa asked me concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine." I said.

"You might want to get your toast before it burns."

I look over to the toast and notice that I didn't put it on the appropriate setting, and so now I have burnt toast. I put some margarine on it while heating up some vegetables. After I got done eating, I told my dad I was going to hang out with Jade and Jason, but that was going to be later. Right now, I am just going to the Glades to find what really went on last night. I pressed on a wall on the building across the street from the crime. She sees two people at the crime both of them detectives. As I watched them inspect the crime, I couldn't help but listen in. "So, do you know who was first respond to the scene of the crime?"

"Yeah, officers Days and Jules."

"Aren't they being under investigation by internal affairs?"

"Yeah, Bricktop is said to have cops on his pay roll."

This caught my attention. "Cops are selling their souls because of budget issues with the department."

"Do you think our 'friend' has something to do with it?"

"I wouldn't doubt that he has some politicians in his pockets."

'Okay this is going to make things difficult for me.' I thought.

'I saw the cops leave and decided I will hack into the police computer system in a later date, but right now I have friends to hang out with it takes me about 40 minutes to get to Jade's so we could hang out at the gym. It's our weekly tradition for the two of us to just go to the gym and workout. We were also talking about what we were about to do today after we picked up Jason from the arcade. We headed to café central for some lunch and coffee. Then after lunch we plan on going to see a movie. We then head home because Jade has to do chores with her mom and dad, and Jason has to fix a computer he crashed 'practacing' for a gaming competition coming up. Me, well my grandparents are going out tonight, so tonight I get to go out as Green Arrow longer than I did last night. I got suited up and headed for the glades. On my way there I stopped a mugging and stopped some vandals from breaking into a store. Right now I'm looking to stop any of Bricktop's goons from whatever they are planning. I was in the Glades for fifteen minutes until I see an arms deal about to happen. "Hello, Bricktop's finest today me and the boss have the best available weapons behold."

The dealer brings out a weapon, and fires it at a stop sign that looked as though it hasn't replaced for years. The sign explodes leaving nothing behind. 'Yeah this is going to be stopped.'

I got up and fired an EMP arrow into the van full of arrow, then right when they look up at me I fire blunt arrow into the gun knocking it out of the dealer's hands. The goons picked up their guns from their holsters and fired at me. I ducked behind some cover and waited for the right time to come out, and then I found it and fired a 'smoke' arrow, which acts like a 'smoke' arrow, which acts like a smoke bomb but in arrow form. Knowing I temporarily blinded them temporarily blinded them temporarily I decided to taunt, "For guys who are suppose tough you all really need to work on your aim."

"Come out and show yourself." One of the goons said.

I fire an arrow and that knocks out one of the goons and I find that I still have five more to go, including the dealer who was surprised to find that his car won't start, I smirk at that. I picked two arrows out hit two more goons with them, again knocking them out. I then see the last one and fire at him wrapping him up and fall to the ground. "Oh dregs my boss is not going to like this." The dealer said.

The dealer was then snared in a net. "Hey, I am just a business man." He said.

"Yeah, one in a back alley isn't exactly a moral one." I said searching his pockets to find a police badge. "Hu, this isn't something a police officer should do should he?"

I looked at the officer, and I shrugged putting the badge on the ground and putting a hard drive next to it. "Well, I guess video evidence should do, and the 'proper' authorities should be coming to pick you guys up." I said as I sent a message to the two detectives I saw finding their numbers through hacking.

I used my grapple hook arrow to up the closest building. I decided to stick around and view the arrest. The two detectives came and sealed off the crime scene. Then more police came and secured the area. The collected my video footage, the badge that belonged to the dealer, and all the guns. I then left thinking that no one else would get hurt, or killed tonight that were involved in the shipment of the weapons, but that would not be the case.

Third person p.o.v.

At the Glades police precinct and jail in an interrogation room, the dealer was sitting at one side of a table waiting for one of his fellow officers to interrogate him. Two officers came in followed by the "boss" lieutenant Sarah Jensen. The Lieutenant sat down across from one of her dealers. "Well what went wrong?" she asked.

"A vigilante in a mask, uses bows and arrows, and wears a green outfit." The dealer said.

"Did you get a name?"

"No."

"You must have theory."

"A girl trying to be Green Arrow."

"Hmm." Jensen thought to herself. "Even if she is just pretending we can't underestimate her."

While the conversation was going on the two officers were putting gloves on after turning the camera off. "I'll make sure that I set up a meeting with Bricktop." She says to herself as she turns around and exits the interrogation while the two cops grabbed the suspect and held him down while on slashed the suspect's wrists, and left a note on the table, before exiting.

"Let me get this straight we couldn't even make a buy for some guns and much needed fire power." A large man with a hood over his head yelled at one of his six lieutenants.

"Sir, we have been caught by surprised by that new vigilante in green."

"Here is some advice, next time the vigilante comes shoot to kill."

"Yes sir."

"Good, now…" He is interrupted by his phone ringing. "Hold on." He looks his phone to see the boss of the arms dealing operation.

"Hello, Bricktop speaking." He said into his phone.

"Yeah she's been a real bother to my operations."

"Are you sure that's necessary?"

"I just don't like the idea of an assassin coming."

"I get it, thanks for the heads up."

He presses the button to hang up. "Great now we have an assassin in the Glades, and not just any assassin but the league of assassin Curare."

Back at the police station lieutenant Jensen was in a private meeting eight other police officers. "Gentelman as you have heard one of our own dealers has been intercepted by a vigilante. We need a plan if Curare doesn't succeed in killing our new vigilante."
