Green Arrow was swiping through his private album of Black Canary pics when he heard a chilling scream, making him nearly drop his phone. He stuck his head through the thick foliage of the branch he was lounging on to see team Canary in a dire situation. He was about to string up a rope arrow and zipline his way down there when his team sprung into action. He leaned against the tree trunk with one arm and observed the way they handled the situation. Ollie had to admit, it was actually pretty impressive. The crisis seemed to be averted, but he still wanted to make sure no one was seriously injured. From the looks of it they were just shaken up. He contacted Black Canary while steadying his aim.
[color=Green]"Dinah, I'm going down there to check on the team, there's been a situation"[/color]
[color=Slateblue]"On my way, I got the first aid kit"[/color]
Black Canary was quick to respond and was already rushing towards the other side of the pit

[color=Green]"I'll string up a way across for you"[/color] Green Arrow answered in a more serious tone. He shot another rope arrow horizontally across the gap which Black Canary could use similarly to a pole and somersault her way across. 
[color=Slateblue]"No there's no...."[/color] Communications were cut off as Green Arrow made his way down from the tree, sliding across the rope using his bow. He landed expertly between the group of startled teenage heroes. 

[color=Green]"Everyone okay here?"[/color]
Obviously they weren't. Dumb question Ollie, way to go. He scratched the back of his head, feeling he should have intervened earlier. He really couldn't take his eyes of these kids for five minutes. 
[color=Green]"Holy hell that was rough right guys?"[/color] He patted Mirage on the back, commending her on her quick thinking. 
[color=Green]"Killer moves everyone...."[/color] He sucked in a breath when he realized his choice of words was pretty disastrous. Ollie wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead. Teaching was tough....

Dinah arrived at the pit and looked at the "way across" Ollie made for her. [color=Slateblue][i]Seriously....[/i][/color]
She passed by Zatara and Brightheart who were the only ones who seemed to have made it across. The teacher nodded to them and continued on her way. 
[color=Slateblue]"Ollie what the hell is this?"[/color] She sighed and rolled up her sleeves running fearlessly towards the edge of the gap, augmenting her jump with her canary cry to reach the rope. She grunted and did a set of somersaults to gain momentum, but still had to use her canary cry to reach the edge. In what universe was this a way across.....

Black Canary quickly assessed the scene, trying to figure out what happened. Both teams were mixed up and looked pretty shaken. Green Arrow started to explain what happened, he'd used the time it took for Canary to arrive at the scene to ask the team some serious questions. Ollie knew Dinah was not going to like this, not in the least because he failed to intervene earlier. 
[color=Green]"Talon tried to swing his way across with his grappling hook, but he misjudged the strength of the branch he attached it to"[/color]
Green Arrow looked back at the both Talon and Hex sitting underneath a tree together. He sighed and continued retelling the events.
[color=Green]"So he nearly dropped into the pit, Hex and Nymph were trying to pull him up when....., well"[/color] He was hesitant to explain what had happened exactly. He knew it was an accident, but it was still pretty bad. Dinah wasn't going to let this slide. 
[color=Green]"Nymph's powers went kind of haywire and made things worse, she.....nearly strangled Talon"[/color]

Dinah's eyes narrowed. This was unexpected. She hadn't realized Nymph's powers to be this volatile, dangerous even. Judging from the girls reaction she hadn't either. That was a problem for later though. Without saying anything Black Canary walked up to Talon and kneeled down next to him. Not waiting for his permission she started to inspect him for any injuries. His neck looked pretty bruised, and there were a few shallow cuts from the edge of the sharp leaves. She knew he wouldn't likely appreciate her patching him up in front of the team, so she opted for giving him the medical kit. 
[color=Slateblue]"Go patch yourself up Talon and rest at the HQ, if you feel any worse or have problems with your breathing report to me immediately"[/color]
She gave him a stern look to make it clear this wasn't the time to act tough. 

Black Canary got up from the ground and turned to the rest of the team. 
[color=Slateblue]"The obstacle course is over."[/color]
She thought on the best plan of action, surveying the condition of the rest of the team. Team Canary was definitely out of the game, but she wanted to give the others the opportunity to engage in a sparring session. It was important she got a good reading on their combat prowess, it was going to shape future training sessions. 
[color=Slateblue]"Team Canary is dismissed, Team Arrow you can take a short break and join back up with me in the clearing for your sparring session."[/color]
