So is the resistance base near wayne manor? That seems like a baaaad idea since thats where batman is xD.
If you're talking about Roy, then no. Calling it a resistance is also a bit too generous. It's literally just Roy and Light, no one else yet.

"Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen..." Roy replied between gasps for breath. They were still in the running away process so they didn't exactly have time for a calm conversation. Still, since she asked him he answered honestly, "...they were both there, in Patterson's office." as Roy explained this, he was leading them across the water channel of the sewer. He remembered having to escape from a robotic bloodhound once before as Red Arrow, and suspected that Patterson might try that tactic again. Robot or not, its senses could be fooled like any bloodhound by simply treading through water. This would theoretically mask their scent, the added odor of the sewer only masking it further. Sewers weren't a glamorous escape route, but they were effective.
"Taking on Anarchy and Green Lantern is one thing... but the two of them plus Batman and Green Arrow? That's a horse of a different - Argh!" Roy suddenly yelped, as if suffering a sudden shooting pain. He let go of Light and his real hand clutched at his prosthetic arm. The prosthesis was advanced, able to mimic human arm and hand movements perfectly. That level of accurate movement came at the cost of suffering from chronic phantom limb pain, and of course Roy just had to have one of those episodes now of all times. In spite of his initial reaction, Roy was able to keep a remarkable straight face afterword, with only a very small twitch in his eye as his one and only tell that he was suffering.
Two hours passed before the phantom limb pain finally decided to subside. The episodes were not constant, but instead happened infrequently and for seemingly random increments of time when they did, "Sorry about that..." Roy told Light, the episode had pretty much forced them to stay in one place while Roy rode out the painful episode, "...wish I had more control over those." he clutched his prosthetic hand into a fist while shooting it a brief glare. However, those two hours of pain gave Roy an epiphany, and only now did he decide to tell his companion about it.
"I'm going about this all wrong." he suddenly said, "Way things are now, Patterson's untouchable. We need a better strategy... and a bigger team wouldn't hurt either."

@TheUnknowable Oh, so it IS Gotham? My bad. Alright, I'll get something up shortly.
@TheUnknowable That's essentially what I had in mind. Since those people aren't being played by actual players right now, they would work best as NPC's that we occasionally call in for backup and the like, but they never stick around as permanent team members.
Gonna work on a post, but I'd like to ask which city we're currently in. I can tell its not Star City due to Oliver needing a Ztube to get home, and I'm guessing it's not Gotham either so... Metropolis? Central? Keystone? Some other city entirely?
By the way, @Pathfinder, it's no coincidence that I had Roy and Light retreat via the sewer. You did say something about the Construct about exit them? Seems like a good enough opportunity for the two groups to bump into each other.

@DoubleI could see Todd and his ex GF joining him. Deathstroke too, as Terra (Deathstroke ex apprentice that betrayed him) is dating Anarchy, and it would be a good opportunity for revenge. I don't know enough about the others to know how well they'd fit, though, so I'll leave that up to you.
Calculator was essentially an evil Oracle. Like her, he operates a world-wide information network, unlike her he would sell it to whomever could afford it. It's possible Anarchy hired or is using him for software security/development, otherwise I imagine he'd still be doing the rogue hacker thing. Deadshot is very like Deathstroke, he was a contract assassin, it just so happens that Deadshot main specialty is as a sniper. So he either works for Anarchy or he's just carried on with his mercenary work with little impact from Anarchy's takeover. Grace is an Amazon, more specifically a Bana-Amazon, the tribe that broke off from the one on Themyscira and essentially went rogue. Anissa Pierce is Black Lightning's daughter, and Rex Mason was a soldier for hire who gained his powers after exposure to Egyptian artifact that cursed him. The latter three are likely adhering to Anarchy's rule like most of the other heroes, though, so I doubt they would join the team (despite having been the founding members in the canon universe) which was I suggested Superboy and the Construct take their place instead (if Weird Tales and Pathfinder are interested in such).
@TheUnknowable So my plan is for Roy to realize that he's been going about this all wrong, that Anarchy is untouchable the way things are now. As such, this latest blunder will inspire him to start taking a much more subdued approach. No more suicidal assassination attempts, instead Roy will resolve himself to take down Anarchy's organization piece by piece, eliminating his supporters one at a time until only Patterson himself is all that's left. Naturally this is an impossible undertaking for him and Light to do alone, so I'm proposing that Roy has kept a list of a few names. Names of individuals Roy either worked with or even fought against back in old Tee Titans days. The one thing they all share in common, is that none of them are on Anarchy's payroll. Either they're still rebelling, or they're just mercs whose business was unaffected by the takeover. Here's a small list of example names for the list:
1. Jason Todd (Red Hood)
2. Jade Nguyen (Cheshire)
3. Floyd Lawton (Deadshot)
4. Noah Kuttler (Calculator)
5. Slade Wilson (Deathstroke)
6. Grace Choi
7. Anissa Pierce (Thunder)
8. Rex Mason (Metamorpho)
The idea is for Roy to essentially start up the Outsiders, much like he did in the comics, hence why some of the actual canonical members of said team are on the above list (Grace, Thunder, and Metamorpho) but those can be forfeited since this setting involves most of the former superheroes now working for Anarchy anyway. In that case, Superboy and the Unnamed Construct can fill in if they are interested. The villains on the list are there because Roy probably feels he can't rely on any of his past colleagues anymore and as such he has no choice to call on past enemies instead.

This year's story features a character I created long ago who was inspired off of Goku from Dragon Ball as well as a bit of Tarzan.
Not gonna lie, part of me was hoping for El Sasquatcho.
So do I post now or wait for someone else?
Hey Double, how long do you think Light and Arsenal have known each other?
Knowing Roy? Probably not that long. He trying to go solo before he finally caved in sought out help.
Anyway, is anyone else going to chime in? No one else seems to want to jump in.

@Double
I apologize immensely, I've been busy, but that's still no reason to be this late. I ask for forgiveness. *Bows repeatedly.*
I've been guilty of being late myself on plenty of occasions. It happens to to best of us. All's forgiven.

“All kidding aside, when you get a chance. You might want to find Stalin since I got my hands full. Don’t need him to get away.”
Seth shook his head, his grin remaining unchanged, "Ah... you too?" he replied, indicating that he, too, had run into complications. At first he thought it was just the Darkside, which would have been tedious but at least relatively painless to deal with. But no, it couldn't be that simple, could it? There always had to be a monkey wrench, apparently. This particular one took the form of a masked gentleman in a trench coat.
"....Tick tock, goes the clock, but ching, ding, goes the grenade...Hissss, shing...goes the sword...and then boom, goes the horde.."
Surprisingly enough, the guy actually took out the Darkside for Seth, when the Nobody thought for sure they would be teaming up against him, "Is... is he speaking in nursery rhymes?" he cocked an eyebrow, this man was strange even by Seth's definition of the word. Regardless, Seth gave the interloper his usual chuckle, on top of never letting his wide, unsettling grin falter, "Well if boom goes the horde, then yawn yawn, I'm getting bored. See? I can do it too." the guy's creepy style of rhyme didn't sound half as scary when the Nobody just openly mocked it like that. Of course, for all Seth knew he was just pissing the stranger off.
"Whaddya say we just skip to the part where I give you a bad time. I'm on a tight schedule here." Without him even needing to move or make any indication, Seth's Snipers began opening fire on the newcomer. This was usually pretty darn effective against most folks, since they typically let themselves be too focused on Seth himself to notice the actions of his Lesser Nobodies. Although the Nobody had a sneaking suspicion that this strange fellow in a top hat wasn't quite like most people.
