Fireside - Arctic Monkeys

WHO || Oliver, Felicity S., Emma F., Bo, Brantley, Lex Luthor
WHAT || The Knights investigate a connection between Luthorcorp and Sarandis' experiments on Andres
WHERE || Metropolis Kansas
WHEN || April 23rd, 2015
HOW || Actionspam

Metropolis is a bustling city even during these cold winter months, but they have no trouble finding the Luthorcorp building - because it literally towers over the skyline, dwarfing the Daily Planet nearby. It's still daytime when they arrive, working hours, and employees in well tailored suits hustle in and out towards elevator banks, past the front desk.

Yeah, well, Oliver, maybe I'm no expert in the field, but if you want to chalk one up to the unsolicited advice column, let me just say you might want to reconsider who you're doing business with. This place's strings are being pulled by a pair of the slimiest hands in the corporate world today.

I'm starting to see that.

[No really, check the monitor, Lois. Story of the century right thurr. Meanwhile Oliver will casually move over toward his briefase like he's trying to sort through some files at the most inopportune of times. Except papers aren't what he pulls out. Go go gadget bow. No really, it's all very impressive looking when it unfolds into an actual big boy bow.]

I need you to do me a favor. [Haha ... ha. Oliver is like trust no bitch but he doesn't have a lot of options right now. And Lois kind of owes him one. He nods over toward where Sally's weapon clattered across the floor earlier.] Take her gun and head back to the records department. Felicity is still there.

[Which means Ollie obviously intends to head over to research and development aka the slaughterhouse.]

Can I trust you? [He probably won't anyway but idk lie to him if you have to. Otherwise he is going to choose Felicity and erryone dies.]

[ her eyebrows clamber up when she sees the bow, and she looks between him and the gun he's gesturing to, like she's not ready to peel her eyes off the scene here yet. but she'll reach down and pick it up, checking the clip with practiced ease, in a way that makes it clear she knows her way around a firearm.

she turns back to him again, searching his face as if trying to puzzle out the mystery of this business guy who carries a BOW AND ARROW AROUND IN HIS SUITCASE. but finally she says: ] Last I checked, I've got you to thank for standing here. Let no one say that a Lane doesn't know how to show gratitude. [ she gives him one more look up and down as she heads over to the door ] What are you planning to do with that?

[theterminator]

[That is an interesting skillset for a reporter, Lois. Her handling of the firearm definitely doesn't go unnoticed.]

Whatever I have to. [Which is like a classier way of saying maim and or kill people, etc. Look comrades take priority.]

She'll need to finish downloading information from the lab's database. Once she's got it, meet us back near the lobby.

[He almost adds something about don't hesitate, just pull the trigger but given her gun skills he figures she knows what she's doing.

And then I guess there is the dramatic walk down the hallway but like ...situation no longer dire so it's not as epic as it should be. D:]
