Across the way, on the roof of a neighboring building stood a hooded figure. Through a pair of compact binoculars, the renegade archer called Arsenal spied his target's office. He could see Patterson inside along with his security chief, the former Green Lantern John Stewart. Normally he would be crazy to attack Anarchy head on, especially while Stewart was still on the premises. The building was heavily guarded, but as far as Roy knew John still possessed his power ring and could become the Green Lantern again at a moment's notice. He needed to be lured out of the picture, and Arsenal believed he had just the thing for that.

"Look's like we're all set," he said into the earpiece under his hood. Arsenal wasn't alone, a meta named Toon Girl was somewhere on the ground level. Roy met Light not too long ago, and somehow managed to convince her to join his little crusade against Anarchy. Why she agreed, Roy didn't actually know, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was that, unlike his ill-fated first attempt to stop Anarchy as Red Arrow, Roy had backup of his own this time, "Stewart's still in the office. Make that distraction as loud as you can. Whatever it takes to get John to respond personally." Roy's plan was simple. Light, who was damn-near indestructible, would create a distraction. This would hopefully keep John Stewart focused on her so that Roy could go after Anarchy directly without a Green Lantern standing in his way.

He waited a few moments until he could hear what surely had to be whatever distraction Toon Girl was making. At that time, he readied a zip-line arrow and aimed it just above Patterson's office window. The next thing everyone in the office knew, an arrow made a small thunk against the building before a hooded man came crashing through the window. Arsenal was quick, landing on the floor to quickly roll back to his feet with a new arrow almost instantly ready to fly, "Mark Patterson, you have-" Roy froze, realizing all too late that John wasn't the only former superhero on the premises. Even if John left to deal with Toon Girl, Patterson was still accompanied by two men Roy knew all too well. Suddenly his plan went from being only a little risky to being downright suicidal. He didn't have time to think, Arsenal just shot his arrow squarely in Patterson's direction knowing damn well that either Bruce or Ollie would easily intercept it and then bolted for the window he'd entered through and actually leaped out.

"Abort!" Arsenal barked into his earpiece, making sure his modulator was distorting his voice so Ollie wouldn't recognize him, "Queen and Wayne are both here! I repeat: Abort!"
