The waitress nodded and turned to make her way to the bar. Upon reaching it, she gave the tender Oliver's order. Before he turned to get the drink, she whispered something to him while her back was turned to the other patrons. The man nodded and turned to get her the drink.
While he was doing what he needed, he discreetly pushed a small button under the counter.
One of the guards standing in front of the entrance to the private area of the lounge glanced down at a small radio attached to his belt. He glanced around the room, spotted Oliver, then carefully turned to say something to a guard standing inside the entrance. A moment later he turned back and resumed his post.

Oliver looked around a little more to no avail. He couldn't catch a glimpse of the Penguin. That was the main reason why he was here. Something happen in star city, and he had some questions. But for now he was still Oliver queen the rich playboy that enjoys a party, nothing more, or at least to them.
He then sat back and waited for his tea. Then he noticed gaurds acting suspicious and talking to each other.
Is that boredom from the guards or something else.Nah, It was probably something else
Now he was more observant of his surroundings.

One of the guards walked up to and stopped in front of the door that Oswald and his guests were in. "Sorry to disturb you, but a Mister Queen has just arrived." the guard informed.
Oswald nodded and turned towards Ghost and Crystal. "If you'll excuse me, I need to check up on my Lounge for a moment. And I will gather what files I have on Bane and the others for you." he said as he slid from the seat. "Be sure that my guest is not disturbed. And he is given anything he asks for." he said to the guard on his way past.
------------------------------
A few moments later, the waitress returned with Oliver's tea. "There you are sir. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
From the VIP rooms that the guards were standing at, a stout man in a very fine suit stepped out. He took a few steps away from the door and the guards, and looked about the lounge.

Oliver smiled as he nodded his head and grabbed the Iced tea. He took a little drink and saw the man they called Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot. To him he was truly the villain that everyone hated, called the penguin. But he had to hide his disgust with respect.
"I don't need anything anymore, I found the man I wanted to talk to."
He smiled at her and took a sip of the tea, waiting for the penguin to make the move. He watched the area closely, knowing that the penguin was sneaky, and always was good at surprising people.

Crystal nodded to Ghost and pushed the computer to him. ''I just need an upgrade, this one is starting to fall back into today's catagory of tech. I originally got this one from Lex.''
Crystal stopped talking when the gaurd walked in. She then watched as Oswald got up and left. She only kew of a handfull of Quinns and only one that was a man. She stood up and walked to the tinted window to watch Penguin, she wasn't about to let her friend get hurt, even if it let the Ghost know who she was. She stood there, serious and worried.

//// * Facepalm * Sorry....typo. My bad. ////
The waitress smiled back at him, then turned and headed to one of her other tables.
Oswald spotted Mr. Queen and, having found no other problems within his lounge, made his way towards the man with a small smile on his face.
"Ah, Mister Queen" he greeted as he finally approached Oliver's table. "Quite an honor to have one such as yourself visit my Lounge. Quite a distance from Star City, even now. Business trip, or simply a personal get away for a bit?"

Oliver smiled.
"I wouldn't really count my self as an honor but I do like the compliments. But back to the question, yes this is a buisness trip. But if you know me you know I make buisness fun."
He laughed a little and took another sip of the iced tea.
"The Iced tea is good, and I like quite like this place, never been on the outside but there has been talk about this place even from Star City."
Oliver gave him a small smile, now he had to ask the question, but make it seem innocent, or just ease his way through. He moved a little in his seat and put his hands on the table.
"Now, lets get to business, Over in Star City Business partners have been disappearing, and I'm running out. And you probably know to have buisness you need partners. With the shortage of them increasing I have to go to other areas, Like here."
He now went quiet, waiting to hear the penguin

(That's why Crystal jumped up, I thought that I missed something and Agent Quinn was here lol if it's that she'd just be looking out out of curiosity.))
Crystal looked back at Ghost and smiled softly and sincerly. ''Som what do you think? It's a mixture of Lexz Corp tech, a little Hardac tech and Brainiac tech.'' She sat back down. ''But I like to stay ahead of the curve and have the most advanced technology available. I'll even let you keep the blueprints if you upgrade it for me.'' She leaned foward, letting her clevage show.

Oswald couldn't help but smile an almost knowing smile. "Ah...yes. It's not surprising at all that many of your business associates have simply disappeared. As hard as it is to believe, the world is even more unpredictable than it was before. I have quite a few businesses that simply...no longer exist anymore. There isn't much of a choice other than to make the best of what you have...or take advantage of new opportunities."

He took another sip of the tea.
"Yes, new opportunities. Now we both know you don't have the best reputation, whether it was slandered or if it was all the truth, I think you would make a great partner with Queen Industries."
He took another sip, He found himself good at lying, which was good and bad, but right now pretty good. He truly knew he had to get on the inside, try to take him out from the inside out.

"I see..." penguin replied, the word drawn out and thoughtful. "Well, Mister Queen, I am intrigued by your interest. Such a matter will need to be discussed thoroughly before any decisions are made. My reputation, as you said, is not the best among gossipers. And I will need to be certain that such a union would benefit both of us."
Definitely benefit him of course. He took care of such delicate operations, and held such...unpredictable ties. Ne needed to make absolute certain that creating ties with Queen would not create problems for his already existing "partners".
On the other hand...this could very well legitimize his businesses. Becoming part Queen's corporation. There was certainly as many benefits as there were risks. Still....the risks had first and foremost priority.

Oliver nodded, and took another sip of the tea, which seemed almost empty.
"Exactly, we need something to benefit us both. Now because Queen industries is coming back, and it hasn't had the best reputation in a while, partly because of me, I want to make sure all of its partners is not on the wrong side of the law, and that might mean a little background check, if that is ok with its owner."
He smiled at the penguin then took one last sip before the tea was gone.
"Did I mention you have some really good tea here, this stuff should be sold at Mickie G's "
Green arrow smiled, mentioning the new franchise in Star city, they based it after him, or lets say his alter ego. His secret Identity. It was based after Green Arrow one of the most renown hero's in Star City. But he wasn't sure if Mickie G's had expanded here.

"Of course." Oswald replied. "A background check would be basic procedure on both parts." He did so on all of his employees, why wouldn't he on business partners? Very basic security measures to ensure that his business would not be run into the ground with needless spending, or prying eyes. And, they occasionally had such interesting results. Such as his newest waitress. A...what was it? Teen Titan?
As for the background on himself, he trusted that there would be nothing to find. Nothing incriminating anyway. Nothing that could get him shut down. Not even Batman could touch him here...he was to careful to let any sort of hole be left in the open.
Turning, he motioned one of the waitresses over to the table. "As for the tea, It's a rather special blend that I had made just for my Lounge. Not quite one of our signature orders, but unique enough that it's rather popular."

Russell continued examining Crystal's computer, "How did you come across this?"
