"I'm guessing you struck out with the Bratva?" Winn asked Oliver as he entered the bunker the next day.
"Pretty much. I even tried calling the Pakhan in Russia, he's an old friend, but he's stubborn. Unless we can find out who the real killer is, he's planning on sending additional forces to help deal with whoever is responsible for this." Oliver said.
"And I've been monitoring the dark web and it sounds like the Bratva aren't the only ones. The Triad is also reaching out to Asia." Winn said.
"Great." Oliver said as Thea entered.
"No luck on this end. Whoever it is, they know how to avoid detection. Also, just because I can fly doesn't mean I have Supergirl's powers." Thea said.
"Hopefully either Roy can get us something." Oliver said, though he was pretty sure he already knew who the killer was.
"He's still at work." Thea said.
"Maybe we should see if there are any members inside any of these organizations. It might be an inside job." Oliver said.
"Okay I will get on that." Winn said.
"Start with the Bertinelli's. Last time I checked, they're the only ones who are entirely based in Star City." Oliver said and Winn nodded.
"Okay, I think you might be onto something." Winn said as he brought up an image of Helena Bertinelli.
"Helena Bertinelli?" The a asked.
"Yep. According to this, her fiance Michael Stanton was killed by her father's enforcer. Sounds like she might want payback." Winn said.
"And in doing so, she could end up destroying the whole city by pitting all the crime gangs against each other. There's no way she's doing this alone." Oliver said.
"So, we find her and her accomplices." Thea said.

"Exactly. I'm going to go bring Laurel up to speed on this, see if she can help us narrow down the search." Oliver said.
"So, you think that Helena Bertinelli is stirring up a mob war just to get revenge on her father?" Laurel asked.
"I know, it sounds far-fetched." Oliver said.
"Extremely, but then again, some girls like to go to extreme lengths to piss off their fathers. Why do you think I started dating you." Laurel said.
"So do you not want to get married then?" Oliver asked her jokingly.
"Very funny Ollie. Look, right now, this is just a baseless accusation. You get something with a little substance, actual proof and then the SCPD can react." Laurel said.
"Got it. I will see what I can dig up." Oliver said, already knowing where to start.
"So, what did Laurel say?" Roy asked.
"She said that we need something more concrete before the SCPD can do anything. Winn, can you please start looking into Helena's financial records. You find something suspicious then Roy can get a warrant for the SCPD to begin looking into her." Oliver said.
"On it. I just wish I could figure out how to track Helena." Winn said.
"I'll check to see if Lyla will let us use the Argus satellites to help with that." Oliver said and Winn nodded.
"Huh, that's interesting." Winn said as he quickly accessed the records.
"What?" Roy asked.
"It seems that Helena Bertinelli is making monthly payments on a storage locker in the Glades. Now why would the daughter of a rich mob boss go there?" Winn asked.
"Because it's somewhere no one would think to look for her. I'll get a warrant to search it. Fortunately, the mayor is an old friend." Roy said and Oliver chuckled.

"I'll let Laurel know to be ready if need be, but since the SCPD have been trying to put Frank Bertinelli away for years, I think that any opportunity to take him down a peg will be taken." Oliver said.
"I'll see you guys later." Roy said as he walked out.
"Roy's only been on the force a few days, but he's really taking to it." Thea said.
"He's a hero. Now he has a chance to be one in the light of day." Oliver said.
"You think you'll ever do that?" Thea asked and Oliver chuckled.
"Speedy, I've never been one to follow the rules, even before I was a vigilante. I'm pretty sure that me joining the police force would be a mockery of the entire justice system." Oliver said and Thea laughed at that.

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.

Naruto: The Ember Tomorrow
Synopsis: I enjoyed my job. I loved my life. I truly did not wish to die, but fate had other plans in store. Reborn into the body of Sasuke Uchiha just after the massacre of his clan, will I be able to forge a better path in this world of blood and death? Author's Note: This is a Naruto Isekai. I do not own Naruto nor am I making any monetary profit off of this fiction. It is purely for fun and growing my own skills as an author. This story will have many elements of the Naruto anime obviously, but there will be twists and turns. I don't much care for sticking too closely to canon. The fic will also delve somewhat into philosophy as the protagonist was a professor of such before his transmigration. I've marked the content tags of Gore, profanity, sexual content, and traumatizing content to allow myself the freedom to write as needed, but am unlikely to be excessively explicit in any of these areas; still, better to have the tag and the freedom as needed. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and feedback is always welcome.
