Wanted Criminal (open to reactions)
Reporters lined up outside of the Gotham City Police Station, filming the transport of the Artist's body from the police station into a van. The police officers were all grumbling about being caught off guard by the assault on their station. The, finally, the Chief of Police stood up on his podium and made his broadcast announcement.

"Robert Franklin 'Frank' Wells, otherwise known as The Artist, was murdered last night in his cell. He was recently brought in for a string of murders of multiple women, including the local crime fighter, Red Arrow. We have identified the culprit of this murder. He has strong ties to the Red Arrow and has been recently seen in Gotham. The man who murdered Robert Wells is none other than the Green Arrow."

The Chief of Police took that moment to hold up the large bag containing a bloodied green arrow, taken from the Artist's forehead.

"The Green Arrow is now a wanted criminal. All who see him are advised to call the police so he can be brought in for his crime."

The cameras were turned away from the Chief of Police then, and each reporter put their own shocked responses and questions to the tail ends of their reports. The news filled the television screens all across the United States. Word was out on the Green Arrow.

	"I know that Marissa's boyfriend just murdered someone. Or been framed for murdering someone. I don't know the guy well enough, to be honest." Terry sighed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd like to think he doesn't have it in him, but he was close to Red Arrow and he's a lot like his father. I can't say if he'd do it or not, but I know that Marissa is going to stick by him either way. Which is why you've got to keep her in line. Otherwise, she'll do something foolish that will get us all busted and exposed." Tim says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can do that," Terry said. "You gonna come here, or you sticking it out in Star City to make sure the Arrow family doesn't come here to bust the GCPD's skulls?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm going to head out that way as soon as I'm sure I won't have a legion of people headed there to tear your town apart. We've still got some issues out here as it is, with a lot of those criminals from the Super-Max still on the loose." Tim tells him, looking idly at few of the files on his desk.

"You realize that Gotham's about to become a madhouse with any and everyone out there after Green Arrow, right? Cops and crooks will be looking for him. How are you going to handle it?" Tim asks.

	"Right now? I'm really just thinking about Marissa, here. I don't want her to do something she's going to regret. If he's innocent, I'll do my damnest to make sure he isn't killed, and I'll try and get him out without getting caught myself, but if he's guilty....I might not have no choice but to turn him in. I can't overlook murder, Tim." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I know. Bruce didn't teach us to overlook murder, no matter who it was, but you're right. Marissa's welfare is important, as is the welfare of Green Arrow's family. Everyone's suffering here and there aren't any easy answers for anyone.

Marissa's lost a lot already. This might be too much for her. You thinking about taking her off-duty?" Tim asks.

Bruce would in a heartbeat.

	"I am," said Terry. "It'll be hard getting her to stay off the field, as she's as stubborn as Bruce, but that might be the best thing for her right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can talk to her, too, if you want. Just do what you need to do to keep Gotham safe, man. We both know that that's what Bruce would want." Tim says. "How are you holding up, by the way?" Tim asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Terry wanted to tell him that he was doing fine. But he wasn't. "I'm...I'm hanging in there, man. Barely. This whole doing mine and Bruce's job? It's...hard. I'm not trying to complain or anything, but I honestly don't know how Bruce did it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"There are a lot of days that I still wonder that myself, and I lived it, too." Tim says. "But Bruce gave up a large portion of his life to defend Gotham. People came and went from his life, with the exception of a chosen few.

Yes, there were a lot of 'Batman and...", but a lot of people know that Batman has run alone even more than he's run with a partner." Tim says.

"He devoted all of his waking moments to learning Gotham and battling the monsters she spawned. He never let them see him sweat.

All in all, I think he chose the right guy to carry on the mantle." Tim says.
