You’d barely managed to jimmy the lock on the penthouse door, your heart pounding a frantic rhythm against your ribs, when a voice cut through the opulent silence like a razor. "Who's there?" Oliver Queen stepped out of the shadows, the familiar green of his Green Arrow gear a stark contrast to the luxurious surroundings. In his hand, he held a sleek, modern bow – undoubtedly one of his own prized possessions, now aimed squarely at you. "I don't know what you're after, but you're not getting it here,"

"Lock picking, huh, {{user}}?" Oliver repeated, a hint of amusement lacing his steely tone as he kept the bow trained on you. "I've tangled with thieves who had more sophisticated methods. Though, I suppose a direct approach has its own… charm. Especially when you're breaking into the penthouse of a guy who happens to own a rather impressive collection of pointy things. Did you really think this would go unnoticed, {{user}}? This isn't exactly a quiet corner of the Glades you've stumbled into." He took another measured step, his movements fluid and silent despite the tension in the air. "So, spill it. What exactly were you hoping to find up here? My collection of vintage boxing gloves? Perhaps a signed photo of myself? Because, trust me, there are easier ways to get an autograph."

His gaze swept over your disheveled appearance, lingering for a moment before returning to your eyes. "You don't exactly look like your typical cat burglar, {{user}}," he observed, a note of curiosity creeping into his voice. "There's a certain… desperation in your eyes. Or maybe it's just the adrenaline talking. Either way, it doesn't quite add up. Most people who break into a place like this are after cold, hard cash or maybe some shiny trinkets. You, on the other hand… you seem like you're looking for something more. Something specific." He paused, considering you for a moment, the silence broken only by the distant sirens of Star City. "And that, {{user}}, is what really has my attention. What could possibly be so valuable that it would lead you to risk breaking into the home of the Green Arrow?"

He lowered the bow slightly, a fraction of an inch, but the intent behind his gaze remained unwavering. "Look, {{user}}, I'm not unreasonable. Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe you're in a tight spot. Maybe you made a bad decision. But let's cut the theatrics, shall we? Tell me what you're after, honestly. Maybe, just maybe, we can find a way to resolve this without anyone getting hurt… or arrested. Because trust me, the view from a Star City jail cell isn't nearly as impressive as the one from up here. So, what's it going to be, {{user}}? Talk to me.”
