《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 112

Oliver was surprised when Lyla called him and asked to meet him at the bunker.
"What's going on Lyla?" Oliver asked.
"I wanted to know if you were aware that before they left for National City, Alex and Sara were running a secret, off the books operation within Argus." Lyla said.
"I did not know that, though it doesn't surprise me. Every Argus director has had their share of off the books ops. Technically, I was one of Amanda Waller's." Oliver said.
"Fair point, but don't worry, this isn't anything bad." Lyla said.
"What is it?" Oliver asked.
"Sara informed me of the operation shortly before she left for National City. Alex confirmed it. You remember their trip to Paris a few months ago?" Lyla asked.
"Vaguely." Oliver said.
"It turns out that was a cover for an off the books Argus job investigating a criminal terrorist financier who goes by the name Dante." Lyla said.
"I'm assuming that you're continuing the investigation?" Oliver asked and Lyla nodded.
"I am and I'm also beginning to realize why Alex kept it off book. There's some sort of conspiracy within Argus. I'm not sure who I can trust." Lyla said.
"I'm not sure what exactly you want me to do about that? I don't work for Argus anymore." Oliver said.
"No, I'm here because in my search into Dante, I found something interesting. Apparently he is in contact with a group who call themselves the Longbow Hunters." Lyla said and Oliver's blood ran cold. The last time he'd heard about them, it was John and Felicity telling him about the Hunters had nearly blown up the whole city with Diaz. Another reason he was glad he'd killed Diaz early on, since if he never saw that son of a bitch again, it would be too soon. He'd never forgive Diaz for all the pain he caused.

"I've heard of them. Three highly gifted, highly dangerous assassins." Oliver said and Lyla nodded.
"According to the files Sara left me, even the League of Assassins treaded carefully around them. And if the records I've been able to obtain are correct, it appears that they've come to Star City." Lyla said.
"What. Why are they here?" Oliver asked.
"I don't know. But my intel suggests that Dante hired them for a job here." Lyla said.
"So, we find the Hunters, we find Dante." Oliver said and Lyla nodded.
"Send Winn everything you have on the Longbow Hunters. We need to take them down before they can do any damage." Oliver said and Lyla nodded before she left, leaving Oliver to wonder why the Longbow hunters were in town, since Diaz was dead.
Whatever the reason was, he was determined to find out and stop it before it started.
Since after Brick's attack, most cops were refusing to venture too far into the Glades anymore, Laurel had come up with the Glades' Police Force Initiative or the GPFI. This initiative would allow her to create a specialized police force for the Glades, that would operate under the authority of City Hall, not the SCPD, since honestly her father, Roy and Pike were the only cops Laurel knew weren't crooked and considering where the police force was stationed, Laurel needed to make sure that there was as little corruption on this force as possible.
It had taken some convincing on her part, but she'd gotten the city council to approve this action, so long as she personally vetted every member of the task force. A policy that was just fine with Laurel, since it meant she could personally get a feel for every applicant and make sure they were a good fit.

Anyways, Laurel had just finished going over the list of candidates her father had sent her and while Laurel had already decided that Roy would be the officer in charge of the task force, she still had a lot of applications left to go through when her secretary informed her that her sister-in-law was here to see her.
"Thea, what brings you to see me, shouldn't you be getting ready to open up the club tonight?" Laurel asked, since Thea had made Verdant more popular than ever.
"Actually, I'm thinking about selling Verdant." Thea said.
"What, why, I thought you loved running that club?" Laurel asked.
"I used to. But I don't know, I guess after spending so much time helping protect the city, the club scene got a little boring for me. It doesn't give me the same rush or satisfaction it used to as either owner or patron." Thea said.
"Wow, you've really grown up." Laurel said and Thea nodded.
"Yeah and I realized that the thing that does give me that rush is when we're protecting the city." Thea said.
"So what, you want to join the SCPD. You'd have to talk to my dad, not me." Laurel said.
"Actually, Roy let slip about your new Glades Police Force and I was wondering if I needed to already be enlisted in the SCPD to sign up?" Thea asked, much to Laurel's surprise.
"I never thought I'd see the day that party girl Thea Queen wanted to actually join the police force." Laurel said with a smile.
"Well, that Thea Queen was young, stupid and naive. Besides, I made a lot of mistakes, and yet I turned my life around. I don't know, I guess that I feel like if I can do it, than maybe I can help other people in the Glades do the same." Thea said and Laurel smiled at her.
"I think you should actually enlist in the SCPD and then get a recommendation for this task force so it doesn't look like I'm giving you special treatment just because I married your brother." Laurel said and Thea nodded.
"Thank you Laurel." Thea said.
"Any time Officer Speedy." Laurel said and Thea laughed.
"I haven't heard that name in a long time." Thea said.
"I'll tell Ollie we need to get back in the habit of calling you that." Laurel said as Thea left her office to let Laurel get back to work.

Rune
In the world of Rune, there are two kinds of Players. The Crafters, and the Fighters. Fighters level their magic power, fueling the runic items from their own bodies, while crafters use the runes they bring back to develop powerful items using their knowledge of the electronic-like system. Not everything stays that simple, though, and Rune is no exception. Within each region, a number of guilds have sprung up, operating as the unaccountable vanguard of defense for the besieged cities. They don't care to deal fairly, and nobody else has the power to do much about it. (Harem is tagged but it's honestly polyamory. I hate the word harem but given that some people would interpret it as such, in it goes.)
