Episode 9 Deadshot part 2

Artemis' P.O.V.

Me and the grandparents are doing my least favorite thing… prepping for a gala. The makeup, the dresses, the nails…everything has to be pristine and perfect. There is a silver lining I guess, three of Bricktop's lieutenants are supposed to be there, and Queen and princess of Vlatava. Bruce and Terry are also going to be there. I'll enjoy a gala for once, but right now I'm just focused on not letting the torture get to me. "How's everything going?" Grandma asked with a small smirk.

"You know how much I hate doing this preparation." I respond.

"Yeah, well how does a private meeting with the Queen and princess of Vlatava?" Grandma asked.

"I guess that makes me feel a little bit better." I tell Grandma.

"Good your torture will be over soon…I hope." Grandma told me before leaving.

I just grumbled something incoherent. Thankfully my 'torture' finally ended, and my grandparents and I were on our way. We exited the car to flashing lights of cameras. We walked down the red carpet like any other Billionaire family. When we got into the building we kept on moving until we were near a door to a suite near the top floor. Grandpa knocked on the door. The door opened revealing a big man in a jacket and red shirt on. "Sorry but only people who are invited are allowed in." The guy said.

"We are invited." Grandpa stated. "We're the Queens."

"Let them in please." A voice inside the suit said.

"Yes your majesty." The guy at the door replied.

We were let in and we were guided towards the living room to not only find the princes and the Queen, but also Prince Oliver Jango. "Mr. and mrs. Queen, it has been long time." Queen Perdita greeted shaking my grandparents' hands.

When the queen was approaching me I decided to bow. "Greetings your majesty."

"Nice to meet you…" The Queen greeted me signaling me to give her my name.

"Artemis Queen mam." I tell her.

"Nice to meet you miss Queen."

"Nice to meet you to your majesty."

"I would like to introduce 2 of my children, my oldest Oliver and my daughter Cantoria." The queen introduced.

"Pleasure to meet you." The princes said giving a little bow."

The princess is blond and has blue eyes. She's practically like a younger version of the queen and … she was quite pretty. "Nice to see you again." Jango said to me lifting my hand giving it a small kiss which creeped me out a little bit.

"Yes, nice to see you again to." I said trying my best not to show how uncomfortable I was.

"You two have met?" The queen asked.

"Oh!" Grandpa spoke suddenly with a smirk. "We were never told of this."

I just glared at him while giving a false smile. "Must of slipped my mind."

"U think you can let go of her hand now brother." The princess said.

Jango just turned around and let go of my hand. I mouth, 'thank you' to the princes. She nods in response. "How long have you planned on staying here in Star City?" Grandpa asked.

"Hopefully, no more than 5 more days because of the royal Jubilee happens in 7 days."

"Yeah, it's a rather festive time during that day." Grandpa states as we sit on a couch.

3rd person P.O.V.

Deadshot, in full costume, was in the building next to the hotel hosting the gala. She pulls out her sniper rifle and preps it up and waits for her targets to appear.

Artemis' P.O.V.

After about 35 minutes of talking the grandparents and I were headed towards the conference room where the gala was taking place. I could see the large window and a building under construction across from here. My money says that the sniper will snipe from there. I see that the queen's body guards and secret service are about to escort her out to the gala. I see the three lieutenants in different areas of room. "So, trying to avoid everyone else." Terry said behind me.

"Yep, and at the same time waiting for the signal for me to leave." I said.

"Hmph!" Terry grunted smirking.

After about five minutes, a body guard of the queen was escorting her to the gala, and that's when it hit the fan. I heard glass shatter, and I turn around to see one of the lieutenants go down. Mr. Wayne was next to us when he gave us an ordered. "Get to work you two."

We headed out of the gala and went to our designated areas to change into Green Arrow, I am outside and I shoot the grapple arrow and go upward. I arrive on the floor where the sniper was on. The sniper sees me, but before the sniper could do anything I fire an ensnare arrow. The sniper is now ensnared. "Not bad green, too bad I got the drop on four people."

Wait four, but there was only three lieutenants at the event. "There were only three lieutenants that you were supposed to kill."

"I got an extra assignment for extra credit."

"Who? " I asked, but deep down I knew who the target was.

"The Queen of Vlatava."

I went to the side where I could see the gala and to see that my grandpa was shot, saving the Queen from getting the bullet. "You missed." I state solemly.

"Well, I guess I'll try again I get paid five times more than I normally would."

"Too bad that you won't see a single credit." I said.

"We'll see." The sniper said before getting out of the binds.

I move to some cover. The sniper fires at my cover. I pull an arrow out and fire it creating smoke screen believing that I would use it to have a better firing position. Instead, I fire an impact arrow from the cover I am using. The arrow hit the sniper in the jaw taking a part of the mask. I then use the smoke screen and used the better firing position and fired three ensnare arrows. The sniper dodged them. "Great tactics, you know we could be a great team you and I." The voice was now feminine.

"Yeah no thanks, I have no intentions to murder anyone." I respond.

"Hard to find equals." She said (I suppose).

The sniper comes towards with her wrist guns ready to fire, but before she could two batarangs hit her wrists. "Maybe you'll find me as an equal as well." Batman said.

Batman continued gliding towards the sniper. The sniper simply rolled out of the way. I fired an ensnare arrow but she dodged it. A battarang hit the red scope on her right eye to reveal that the sniper was indeed a woman. She pulls out a small gun and fires at us, while throwing down a smoke bomb. When the smoke and gun shots stopped she was gone.
