The Queen farm - 9 years ago
The young blond haired man carried the hay from the beat up pickup truck. His day of labor working in the hot sun had made his shirt basically wet with sweat and he wiped his face as he walked over and worked on the fence.
He never noticed one of his older brothers walking up as he worked. Driving the fence post into the ground with his strength and using the gloves to make sure the barbed wire fence would keep the horses in .
"So your really gonna go huh ? Really gonna leave us all to run off and do some carnival work ?" his older brother asked angry.
"Look , Jack ...you wouldn't understand ." Oliver said walking .
"Oh I understand. You never cared for the farm. Never gave 2 shits for it. Now your gonna run off and leave our mom and us behind to carry the fucking load !" the older Queen growled.
"Jack , I never wanted to be a farmer. Its why I went to the Police Academy and why I spend more time working as a cop in Houston. You knew that once something came along I was gonna go." he replied in a cold manner.
This made his brother punch him in the face as he fell back. Blood coming from his nose as he looked up at him . The 2 men stood there facing each other awhile til his brother slowly walked off , leaving him there.

Chicago today.
In his huge penthouse Brick sit at his table. One of his closest assistants sit close as Brick sipped his wine. The glasses were special made to take into account his hands , which were rough brick like rough textures so the glasses wouldn't shatter.
"Sir , this screams bad idea. We can't even let them get a whiff of Chicago." his assistant said.
"Gregory , rest assured I wouldn't be approaching the Yakuza if not for the matter this Robin Hood has caused the past few months. Drug sales are down 40% across the board. I can not let this ...man continue." Brick said.
"But the Yakuza aren't just coming in for a possible trade partner in narcotics . They are the oldest criminal empire in the world and are coming into this for likely a piece or all of Chicago. What do they gain by bringing their best assassin over to kill a costumed vigilante ?" Gregory asked nervously.
"Oh I know the Yakuzi are a very brilliant criminal empire and they are likely scouting my organization for weak spots. But who says I can't possibly have them take care of a problem for me and if they ...over step , well I will handle it." he answered.
The voice across his monitor came across from his secretary that his guests had arrived. In walked a very short man with sun glasses on as Brick bowed to him. He nodded and shook the big creature's hand. Beside him was a white faced Geisha with a straw hat over half her face.
"I trust the plane flight and motel was to your satisfaction Mr. Kazuo ?" Brick asked.
"Yes , honorable Brick it was. But let us not waste time with pleasantries . Our organizations are in the same manner and my Oyabun has a wish to expand business trade with you." Kazuo said removing his sun glasses.
"I suppose you know my problem. A certain man is causing me trouble." Brick replied.
"Your problem was told to me. My Oyabun has sent his best known assassin to handle this ...situation." he said .
"Where is your assassin ? Surely its not this Geisha you brought in here ." Brick mused.
"Summon a few of your men. Ones you can spare in your organization." Kazuo commanded.
Watching this Brick called in 4 of his men as they stood around the weird dressed white Geisha girl. They stared at this weird woman who stood there acting like they weren't there .
"This will take less than a minute. Shado , these men have challenged your honor. Dispose of them." the Japanese Yakuza man commanded.
The one went to pull his gun as Shado's straw hat slowly dropped. By the time he had fired the gun , she had pulled her 2 swords and was busy swinging deflecting the bullets. Finally throwing one right through the man's throat.
The other one charged as she managed to flip over his grasp and plunged the sword into his head as she flipped. As she landed she pulled his gun and shot both of the others who had started to reach for their weapons.
Kazuo had a pocket watch and put it away with a slight frown , "41 seconds Shado. I expect better."
"I am sorry Kazuo . Next time I try to be better." the young Geisha girl said bowing .
Brick sit stunned at this spectacle he had just saw. This little 5 foot tall woman had killed 4 men in quicker time it took him to dress. And her masters seemed to not be impressed with this feat.
"I trust there will be no more questioning her skills , Mr. Brick." Kazuo said.
"No , no question. We have a deal Mr. Kazuo. You have a seat at my table ." Brick said .

Warehouse HQ
Back at the Warehouse HQ that Steel and Machin had set up for Oliver Queen , the boy genius was busy working on a special vehicle. His expertise had made him continue to work on multiple special projects for this hero project.
Oliver Queen strolled into the HQ after a day of work and slowly got himself ready. Its there he decided to finally speak up , "So whats the deal with Steel ? Has he said anything since he went to Washington ?"
"Yeah he said the President likes it. They went to dinner and the dude even joked there should be a super team of guys. Like that guy in St.Roche , Superman in Metropolis and that urban legend in Gotham." Machin laughed removing his goggles.
"Leave it to Steel to try and make it happen." Oliver quipped slipping on his armor.
"I doubt Superman will ever return a Sarge Steel call , Ollie." the boy replied.
"So moving to the serious Lonnie , what have we learned yet on Winslow Schott ?" Oliver asked.
"I have guys in most states keeping an eye for him and checking activity with older known employees with links to Schott. I have even checked his family to see if something comes up that he may go there." Lonnie answered .
"Schott seems to know how to stay to ground. To keep himself hidden." Oliver piped in.
"Well he escaped weeks ago from Arkham and basically he went to his ran down home and turned it into a fortress on the inside. So he could be anywhere doing that." he said.
"Well , hopefully we find him. Gonna go to my other job. Is the cycle ready yet ? " Oliver asked staring at it.
"Yes it is. Just watch how ya push it OK. I'll describe the-" started Lonnie as he heard the tires squeal as he turned and saw Oliver Queen ride off .
Some days I wonder if my intellect is wasted here. He didn't even take the helmet.
