There was something evidently amiss.  Ozymandias was asking Arrow, almost as a favor, to do what he had already set out to do.  If anything, Arrow had expected Ozymandias to help out his previous associates.  Did what Ozymandias ask of him follow?  The question answers itself.  Something wasn't right.<br/><br/>Was Rorschach's investigation into the Comedian's death driving previous heroes to their masks?  The answer was no.  He seriously doubted that Rorschach had even communicated with many of his former associates, and some of the heroes returning to the streets had no previous recorded contact with the masked vigilante whatsoever.  But he did see Nite-Owl.  Funny that Nite-Owl should be out patrolling the streets after a chance meeting with Rorschach.  So perhaps the initial question wasn't a full no.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, could Ozymandias be entirely against the prospect of having heroes patrolling the streets?  Especially when the entire world was so close to the brink of disaster?<br/><br/>Veidt said that he benefitted from Rorschach's capture because his company couldn't afford to be associated with him.  But the company, in one way or another, was associated with Rorschach;  Arrow owned the Rorschach action figure, produced by Veidt's parent company.  Also, Veidt's marketing machine had fooled the entire world into thinking that he was the smartest fellow in the entire planet;  certainly, they could come up with something, anything, that could separate the company from a vigilante.<br/><br/>So, while Arrow had no doubt that Veidt wanted Rorschach captured, he knew that he was benefitting from it some other way.  What had Rorschach's unraveling revealed?  Or was he about to stumble onto something?  Whatever it was, it got the Comedian killed.  Perhaps Veidt didn't want his friend to meet the same end.  Did Ozymandias have a soft spot for ole' black-and-white face?  Were they lovers?  Impossible.  Rorschach smells like  a can of tuna that's sat in the sun for three days.  But it wasn't unreasonable...<br/><br/>Of course, Veidt hadn't mentioned Rorschach by name.  Arrow had.<br/><br/>"The outcome:  masked heroes will retaliate against shadows, find fault where there is none and become enemies of the state.  Public fear of extranormals will become a reality."<br/><br/>Arrow got up and began to pace calmly in front of Veidt.<br/><br/>"But it does not make sense.  You once worked as a masked vigilante.  You believed that you could change the world.  And, for the most part, you did.  Now, you do the same thing you did before, just without the mask.  Question:  why is Ozymandias, or the man who used to be Ozymandias,"  Arrow says this pointedly,  "suddenly out to stop former heroes?"<br/><br/>Arrow stopped to look at his own reflection on a glass window.  Then, he glanced over his shoulder at Veidt.<br/><br/>"Answer:  it doesn't matter.  It's none of my business.  It would only be my business if you were somehow trying to stop me from performing my mission.  I shouldn't blame you if you were, and I must admit that I'm surprised to receive any help from you.  But that's it, isn't it?  You have information and you're going to give it to me.  Somehow, you benefit, but it isn't for the reason you just gave me.  The reason isn't important to me because I get what I want anyway."<br/><br/>Arrow folded his arms.<br/><br/>"So what is it, Veidt?  Do you have any leads?"<br/><br/><br/>
