Chicago.

The big purple monkey was seemingly bullet proof. Bullets bounced off the creature as Montoya watched from the scene. People were being pushed back quick to handle this weird situation. But the danger was still there.

"Swat is using armor piercing rounds , Captain. But the rounds aren't having an effect." Detective Graves said.

Montoya ran her hands through her hair. Her mind raced to how and why this thing suddenly appeared. Finally she spoke up , "Is the National guard been alerted ?"

"It will take them 30 minutes to bring in heavy artillery Captain. They have to get the approval from the mayor to bring in such heavy ordinance ." Graves answered.

"Fuck , does anyone know why a giant 30 foot tall cartoon ape is tearing up the city right now ? " she asked loudly.

The evening sky was dark as Oliver Queen suddenly arrived on the scene from a rooftop. He was moving quick , pulling the 2 special hand guns out.

"Explosive rounds !" he yelled firing them at the creature. The blasts rocked it as it seemed to get its attention from destroying the city.

"Lonnie , the explosive blasts barely phased it ! I need some help here." Oliver said while managing to avoid the destructive smashing of its fist into the ground.

"Hit the side of your mask." he said .

Oliver wondered at 1st what he meant and reached and touched it. Suddenly it seemed like his entire brain felt a massive rush of weird sights. He was in some pain til his eyes adjusted to the infra red spectrum.

"W-What the hell Lonnie ?" Oliver asked.

"Its something I added to your mask now. Its infra red lenses to look into certain objects. The pain will pass once your eyes get used to it. " Lonnie answered.

"Y-You really need to warn me about stuff like this man." he said while moving , firing a sand arrow into the apes eyes.

"We didn't have time to go over it. Now focus on the creature . Lets see what we have ." the boy genius said.

Oliver moved to hide from the massive robot. It trying to find him. He hid and looked at it as Lonnie pulled up things on his computer back at the warehouse.

"Wow its beautiful. I have seen designs like this before though. I can't place it. But you can see the beautiful craft the builder took with it." Machin said in awe.

"Would ya please tell me how to beat it ? I mean its smashing the city ." he said loudly stressed.


*******************************************
Schott Toys


Winslow Schott sit at his monitor screen watching as he typed commands to his creation and toy . The big purple ape made him zero in on the one described by the thug Joey and his friend.

"Smash him my wonderful toy ! SMASH HIM." Winslow said in glee.

The 2 thugs stood away watching as this maniac toy maker seemed ready to kill with his creation. The one finally leaned and whispered , "I hope this works."

"It will man. Its a 30 foot purple ape up against Robin Hood. No way this fails. " Joey whispered back.

***************************************************
Back to the battle.

Oliver Queen moved quick and fired an arrow to dislodge the water tower . The ape moved as the tower flipped over and poured water , washing the ape bot down the street some. Giving him time to breath.

"Well ...anything yet ?" he asked.

"OK , I think I have something. The robot has a positron brain type function. We can overload it." Machin said.

"Overload it how ?" he asked hiding behind a shed on the roof of a building.

"Its a 100 in a hundred shot. It won't likely let us get a 2nd chance at it Ollie. Whoever is controlling it will know were going for it and will keep it blocked next time." Lonnie explained in his answer.

"OK , OK.,...one and hundred shot. Gotta try and make it work. Where do I shoot it from ?" Oliver asked.

"Its gotta go through his ear canal. You have to make it go through his ear !" Lonnie commanded.

Oliver pulled a sonic arrow out and moved quick as the purple colored ape robot tossed a car at him. He slid , ducking the car and rolled. He turned and with a quick aim fired the arrow. The arrow went into the ear but the purple ape managed to stop it from going completely in.

"Well there goes that idea." Oliver said .

The ape smashed the side of the building as Oliver Queen went flying . He fell hard and smashed into a car hard. A piece of metal seemed to go into the side where the body armor wasn't protecting him.

"Oaghhh fuck...not a good day to be Robin Hood." he said in pain.

"Ollie... Ollie whats wrong ?" Machin asked.

Seconds later.

A very groggy , sore Oliver Queen slowly rolled off the dented , smashed car top. Every bone in his body seemed to ache as he fell on the pavement. Trying to get his bearings and breath in his lungs.

"Ollie...Ollie are you there ?" Machin asked.

"Y-yeah , bleeding some...gotta get to ground. Rethink things on this." he stammered trying to walk down the alley.

"That creature maybe looking for you. There is a florist shop about 50 yards in front. Can ya make it ?" Lonnie asked.

"G-Gonna try..." Oliver groaned walking.

This is so not how I wanted my 1st super villain battle to go. I'm in over my head and took a beating. Can't stop to think. Gotta keep moving ahead. Or I die.

Inside the shop Dinah Lance listened to her Ipod and never saw this bleeding masked figure walking as she worked. It was only when the door opened and he slumped into the building hurt falling into some flower pots.

"W-What the hell ?!!" Dinah yelled while running over.

"N-Need help...1st aid .." Oliver said rolling on his back.

"Great , working and now some drug addict falls in the shop. Mom is gonna kill me. Gonna freaking kill me." she started til she saw the metal piece and his outfit.

"What the hell are you ?" Dinah asked .

"S-Superhero. Just get me the kit if ya have one." he stammered as he undid his body armor.

While Dinah went to get the kit nervous , Oliver sit up on the table. He had pushed off the body armor and then removed his t-shirt by the time she had returned. Dinah was surprised at the look of this strange man in the mask.

Wow , he's....ripped. Its like he walked out of one of those magazines. Gotta stop looking at him . Try and stay focused .


"We have some tape and alcohol here. Not much 1st aid in a florist shop." she said .

"I need you to help me with tying this piece of rope above the wound and making it tight. " he said.

Dinah reluctantly did this as she saw the pain in his eyes. Oliver to his credit blacked it out and then pulled the metal piece sticking from his side. Tossing it to the side as Dinah tried to not look.

"Aghhh OK , pretty bird I ....I need this to be set on fire of some kind. You need to make it burning hot..." he said pulling out a regular arrow end.

"You , want to burn yourself ?' she asked .

"Gotta cauterize the wound. Seal off the bleeding. No choice." Oliver answered.

What am I doing ? This guy is obviously crazy. He's dressed like some Robin Hood in green and I'm like nursing his wounds. Now he wants to burn himself .


She walked to the back and used her mom's cigarette lighter to make the arrow end glow red. Then returned as the man sit , sweat rolling down his face. His eyes trying to stay awake.

"H-Here..." she said holding it.

Oliver took his t-shirt into his mouth and garbled , "Press it against the wound."

Dinah did as he asked as Oliver screamed into the t-shirt in pain. The burning smell of flesh made her sick as he nodded it was done. She wanted to faint after doing it but rubbed his chest to keep him from passing out.

"Y-Your pretty good at that ." he said winking .

"How can you flirt when you are hurt like this ?" Dinah asked .

"You have beautiful blue eyes ." Oliver answered while she used some water to clean and tape him.

"Oh brother , what horrible come on lines. Do you usually tell girls that ?" she asked while working.

"I never say they have beautiful eyes though , like yours pretty bird." he joked trying to stay awake.

The 2 had a moment staring at each other which was interrupted as the loud shaking of the block. Oliver went for his arrows beside him as a huge purple hand came crashing through the window of the shop.

"GRAPE APE , GRAPE APE !" it yelled.

Oliver watched as this blond beautiful woman suddenly let loose a scream. But not a regular scream , one that made Oliver cover his ears in pain. The pots in the shop exploded as did the glass .

The robotic ape suddenly , with this loud sonic scream went into overload and suddenly went into destruct mode...moving and collapsing away from the shop.

"Wow...we so have to go out." he said smiling as he laid back and passed out.

Dinah stared in disbelief at what had happened and tried to slap his face gently to wake him. But he was out cold. Then seconds later her mom walked into this wild disaster scene of her shop.

"So , is this a boyfriend you brought home ?" she asked .

******************************************
Hours later

Oliver Queen woke up hours later in a bed. His mask was off as he discovered. He also soon realized he was in a strange bed. The wound of his had been treated better he soon discovered and had a better bandage.

He slowly walked out of the bed and saw it was in the back of the florist shop. The one he had somehow came to as his mind remembered the end of the fight. The things that had happened.

"I see your up. I treated your wound a bit better." the older blond woman said behind the counter.

"Thanks. I...I didn't mean to cause this." he said standing there.

"I don't think you had much choice on where you were going from the scene outside. So a super hero huh ?" she asked.

He blushed a bit at that suggestion and slowly answered , " I guess you can say it. But so far I believe I'm in over my head."

"Well , I'm sure you will get better in time. Now lets discuss my daughter , Mr. Hero." the older woman said in a serious tone.

Uh oh...I don't think I am gonna like this.
