Alone in the cave under the mist of the fluorescent lights flickering against the rims of her glasses, her eyes begin tracing blueprints of a vast building, whilst on a complimenting screen she watches the numerous surveillance camera's. Her advice allows him to stay in the shadows out of the lenses reach, avoiding and facial shots. The last thing the vigilante needed was the cops turning up and arresting him mid-mission. Her Heart raced matching the sketchy beats seeping out of a near by club. She was safe in her little cave, he however was not her boss, her friend, her partner needed her. His ability to go rogue infuriated her as usual only Diggle seemed to listen to her completely, the arrow had cut off all communications only a tracking signal highlighted his whereabouts. Something she had sneakily inter worked into the new custom bow she had made for him, a feature she was sure he was unaware of as he would have ditched that too even if it was to be his only weapon.
