Welcome
It all started when a crystal dropped into existence, punched a hole in time and space and landed into the lap of one the most insane men to ever walk the Earth.
At first, the clown didn't know what he had been gifted with, stuck in his cell in Arkham, staring at the reddish purple crystal laying innocently on the dirty stone floor.
And then the voices started, telling him of another universe, talking of power and chaos beyond what he could have ever dreamed.

So far it was shaping up to be a nice Saturday. He hadn't had any disturbances throughout the day and for a change he hadn't even thought of putting on his old Red Arrow costume to go out crime-fighting yet today. It was a beautiful day out and he planned on taking Lian out to the park in an hour or two. After all it was only one in the afternoon. Lian had just gotten up from her usual eleven o'clock Saturday nap looking for food. Roy was use to this routine though and already had a pot of Kraft mac and cheese ready for them both. His Star City apartment wasn't too big nor was it too small. There was a walk-in kitchen attached to the living room and then there was a hall-way with a bathroom at the end and two bedrooms on either side of the hallway. Roy currently found himself sitting on the red couch in the living room next to his four year old daughter Lian who was avidly watching Spongebob and giggling adorably as she ate her bowl of mac and cheese, which was her favorite food. Lian's little legs only just reached past the end of the couch and her little feet dangled far from touching the ground.
Roy wasn't too big a fan of Spongebob. He didn't find him very funny. Or rather he grew out of Spongebob's humor, though there were the occasional in which the show made him smile a bit. Most of the times this happened it was because of the deadpan humor that Squidward provided. But Lian loved the show and it had become part of here daily routine just as much as eating after her eleven o'clock Saturday nap had become part of her daily routine. Roy was eating his own bowl of Kraft mac and cheese. If Lian had gotten one thing from Roy's DNA it was his taste buds. Of course, Lian resembled him a lot more than she did her mother. Lian's eyes were her mother's shape yet were his own green color. She had also obtained his straight red hair. Her own red hair was straight and reached down just past her shoulders. There was a purple clip on the right side of her hair were it parted. She had on a purple t-shirt and a pair of light blue jeans, though she was also wearing a pair of black boots she loved that reached up to the middle of her shin. She was an adorable little kid. Roy himself had short straight red hair that was lightly ruffled and green eyes. He had a lean muscular build and was athletic looking and more than just a bit buff even after the years he had taken off of the super hero game. He was sporting a pair of jeans and a black Aerosmith t-shirt that was fading and looked vintage. The ends of the short sleeves tightened around his biceps.
Roy looked up towards the door as someone began knocking. He couldn't but wonder who it could possibly be. Maybe one of the other pre-school parents? No. They all would have called first. Besides he really wasn't on door to door terms with them. Perhaps one of the teens he counseled? He couldn't help but wondered if one of them had relapsed or been having a really hard time or something bad had happened and they came to him. He knew some of them were undoubtedly like that. Some of their families had abandoned them. For some of them Roy was among the very few, and for some only, person they could go to. Not to mention many of them really weren't in the position to own cell phones being that they were recovering drug addicts who didn't have the money for cell phones at the moment. Or maybe it was one of his neighbors who needed something or had gotten his mail. He really needed to talk to that mail carrier, he just kept getting the apartments screwed up. Roy placed his bowl of mac and cheese on the table in front of the couch and wiped his face with a napkin as he went to the door, tossing the napkin in the trash on the way. He opened the door and saw someone he didn't expect.

Though it was his fault in her mind she was told to stay home from taking her cocktail for the HIV. Mia was not about to do that, they fought a bit and it landed Mia with one person on her mind to chat with on the Green suited arrow in the family. Roy. Though he was not with the Arrows, he was one of them. She was able to tell him anything just about though he had more logical answers.
Yes, Mia did get a bitt dizzy after the medications or shoot slightly to the left or right instead of center but it was not her fault she had HIV. Mia was whored off pratcically to surive the rough streets, drugs and sex were just in the story of Mia's life. Though she was clean oliver just made her angry at times. She sighed through the black helment with the visor down as she shifted into a higher gear on her bike weaving between cars now and then, sharing lanes until she ended up at Roy's apartment builing.
Mia held on her her helment and pulled the keys out before tearing off the black round protective head knocker of a healementa nd put her gloves inside before letting her hair fall out of the braid and down her back in soft blond waves as she looked at the sky thinking if hiding at Roy's was a good idea or not.
Mia was lost in her thoughts as she walked to Roy's apartment door and sighed. Mia did not look the best today she was not eatting much from the pills she had to take and all, though she was thin her muscles were still there and would not gop anywhere she ran her finger's threw her hair as she wore a pair of dark blue ultra skinny jeans and some black books with a heel on them that zipped up, but only to her ankles covereing some of the jeans.
She had a black body suit on under her jeans that had a floral design that was slightly baggy on her it had a plain black ribbon around her waits bthat tied as a boy in the back, it was a halter top with out any straps as she rode her bike with out a jacket just the way she was, she had her bow and arrows on her back as she held her helmet and sighed before knocking on the door two times, it did not take long for Roy to come to the door, he looked tha same just in normal clothes.
" Hi Roy... Oliver and I kind of... had another fights... again..." she said lightly as she looked down them up at his face before running her free hand threw her long blond wavy hair to pull some strands back and out of her face.

Roy looked Mia over a bit surprised, though the surprise was soon gone from his face and replace by a happy smile. It wasn't that much of a surprise to see Mia there. He knew how her and Oliver were. "Mia, what a surprise," Roy said happily before Mia said why she had come. Again, it wasn't too much of a surprise that she and Ollie had another falling out. He knew how Oliver was and he knew that Mia had a bit of a big mouth sometimes. She reminded him of himself when he was eighteen, after he had come out of rehab, and had helped the newest reincarnation of the Teen Titans here and there. "Come in," he said moving to let her in through the doorway before closing the door after she entered.
Roy wondered what it was this time. He knew there was probably fault on both ends of the spectrum. "So what happened this time," he asked as he moved over into the kitchen. It could have been anything, really. Perhaps they were arguing over crime fighting or training. Maybe Oliver had been pushy and judgmental towards her. Maybe Mia was a bit irrational towards Oliver who very well could also have been irrational. Mia being there brought back memories like a flash flood. Tons of fights between himself and Oliver during his run as Speedy. Of course, the obvious time Oliver punched him in the face and kicked him out on the street leaving him to die. But there weren't only bad memories that flooded him. There was good too. He would be the biggest liar on Earth if he were to say that the five years he spent with Green Arrow were nothing but bad, horrible times. It was just that what he had did canceled out everything else in Roy's opinion.
It wasn't just the memories of himself and Ollie that came back though. He could remember the times with Dinah. All the training sessions. The boxing lessons from Hal. For the first time that day he felt like putting on his costume that was hidden in his apartment. He wanted to go out and fight crime. Save the day. Help others. But he had Lian. And Lian always came first. Lian was his whole world. He remember the time he was shot six times in the chest and spent so much of time in a hospital bed. The time he had been poisoned. All the times he almost died. He couldn't put that on Lian. Never. He was a father first. He had to be. Lian was more important than anything else in the world to him. When she was sad all you wanted to do was make her smile and when you're able to make her smile or laugh when she was sad there was no better feeling in the world. When she came home to tell him something that happened at pre-school he wanted to hear. He couldn't take the chance of leaving her alone in this world. He was all she had. He couldn't do that to his baby girl. Not to mention she would be in danger as well. What if someone had found out his secret identity? What if they hurt Lian? He just couldn't take that chance. "Mac and cheese?" he offered indicating the pot.

" No, THank you. " she smiled again before running her free hand threw her hair as she sighed how was she supposed to expalin this one.
" We all know I am over eightteen now.. and Ollie just doesn't understand.. He thinks that when i take my cocktail of medications for past mistakes I am incapable of defending myself let alone others.. Yes, my aim can be off now and then from it and I look ill and all that but I does not mean I am inacapable of being Speedy.. No offense you are hard to live up to.. on name sakes."
she smiled lightly before looking at the ceiling " I just told him I choose how I live my life and well tahts what started the whole thing you could say after he noticed that I was a bit dizzy when shooting but I am fine now." She sighed as she then pushed hair back on her head and from ther sides of her face looking at him with her blue-green eyes.
" He did force me to join the Titan's when I took your name, I will say this that was not to fun getting beat. But I guess it was worth it.. Ollie just does not seem to understand that I cna make my own choices.. he treating me like that teen age girl he picked up from her slave driver of a master all that time ago."
Mia hoped that Roy would understand and know that Oliver was being the irrational one this time. Yes, her big mouth and smarting off did not help but she could not help but use her mouth. Heck, it even got her in trouble with the Titan's when she couldn't shut up. Mia sighed as she looked at Roy raising and eyebrow smiling before looking at Lian then him." She looks like you, and I a lot bigger than the last time I got to see her." she smiled before she put her hands behind her back holding on to her helmet happily knowing that Roy would more than likey not scold her on what she wore to take her motorcycle out. She knew she was safe on the bike and knew how to get out of the ways of others.
" Your the only one who came to mind of who to run off to, I figured you'd understand why I shot my mouth off at him. " she looked into Roy's green eyes hoping he would not cross his arms and give her a speech as well, though Mia knew taht was bound to happen with Roy now and them, but she knew her limits when she had to take the Medications. It was easy enough to know when you have been taking them for a long time now." You cannot say it was my big mouth only, You know Ollie has a BIGGER MOUTH than me." she smiled as she watched to see if that could get a laugh out of the man.

Roy just shrugged when she declined the mac and cheese. More for him and Lian. Roy picked up his almost empty bowl of mac and cheese and began to scoop more into it while listening to Mia. What Mia said wasn't much of a surprise to Roy. That was until the last part. Roy had never figured that he had been a hard namesake to live up to. Maybe as Red Arrow, but as Speedy . . . well he did have a pretty goo run for five years before his and Ollie's falling out. "Yeah, well, in the end didn't turn out to be such a great Speedy, after all." he said though he didn't show much emotion as he said it while walking back towards the others with his bowl of mac and cheese.
"The way I see it," he said taking a bite of his food as he leaned on the wall, "is that you're both partners. Which means that you both rely on each other. Which also means that you have to cover up for each others mishaps, mistakes, or, if you're medicine is making you're aim a little off, then it would be Ollie's turn to make up for it. That's just how it is sometimes. So even if you're medicine was effecting your aim, Ollie should still have your back either way. It's all about trust in that part of it. Now, from Ollie's part of view, you are still a kid in his eyes. Adults are just like that when they've known someone since they were a kid. It's wrong, but it's one of those things we can't change and have to roll with. Because he still views you as a kid, he's not only thinking of himself, but he's thinking of your own safety. Ollie has made mistakes in his life. He could make another one and if you aren't up to shape or might not be up to shape it could cost you your life. Ollie probably feels that you're still his responsibility. But you're right. It is your life and it's you're choice how you live it. As for being an adult, age really is just a number. I consider you an adult. The law considers you an adult. For me . . . I wasn't really an adult until I was twenty. Until there was honestly a person in my life that no matter what I always thought about before I so much as lifted a finger to do something. Being an adult is about making the hard choices while always considering the others around you and the consequences and how it affects the others around you, before you even consider about how it might effect you."
Roy didn't say any of it meanly. He had said it all casually and nicely as he leaned against the wall eating his mac and cheese. He wasn't lecturing her. It was a conversation of equals or at least that's how Roy treated it and felt about it. He knew Mia had been through a lot in her life. A lot of horrible stuff. She hadn't been able to do or make the choices she wanted because o circumstances out of her hands. It was only natural she felt the way she did now. Almost any eighteen year old would, which meant that Mia had even more of a right to feel the way she did in Roy's opinion. "Well, I'm glad he made you join the Titan's. Trust me, you'll make some great, life-long friends with the Teen Titans. Even if you're not glad about it now, you'll be happy to be part of the Teen Titans later. I was a founding member of the original team. Helped out with the second team. What is this? The third or fourth Teen Titan team?"
"Ollie might still view you as that teenage girl he picked up. I mean, changing your views is a hard thing to do. He's probably just trying too hard to protect when you don't need protection because he cares about you. You've been through hell in you're life. More than most people do in their entire lives. After all of that, Ollie wouldn't want you to have to suffer anymore. And because of that he forgets that you've grown up. That you've pushed through, persevered and that you can take whatever it is that's thrown at you and you're ready for whatever it is."
Roy smiled as Mia commented on Lian's resemblance to him. "Yeah, she's got my good looks doesn't she?" he joked lightheartedly. Roy wasn't one to comment on what she was wearing, dangerous or not. Hell, she has no powers and tackles crime daily with arrows, riding a motorcycle without proper protection wasn't going to be the end of her. Roy was glad that Mia felt she could come to him. Roy totally understood why she would shoot her mouth off at Oliver. He chuckled at her last comment. It was true. "That is definitely true. And I do understand why you shot you're mouth off at him. I would have probably done the same to him back in my Speedy days. Of course, I'd probably do the same now. Putting people with big mouths together usually isn't such a great idea. But I'm sure you two can figure it out."

" That did sound like a speech but less boring and with out drama like Ollies. Yea, I work with him here and there but I have not lately. He has been out on his own, he comes home and just blows cause I am slightly to the left when I shoot then to the right, But it is still near a vital organ or artery so I do belive i am fine.." she placed her helmet by her feet as she pulled her hair back into a pony tail and tied it before looking at Roy then Lian.
" Have you taught her yet? I think it would be fun as a hobby if you do. Shooting arrows can be a hobby rather than a job you know." she said lightly before turning back to Roy waiting to see what he would say.
" As for oliver making up for my weaknesses'" she snorted lightly " I highly doubt he would. I think he would rather make up for his own rather than somebody elses. Though he does know I know my weakness and what to do to make up for it, I think he just see's me as this little HIV postive girl running around in a costume. "
Mia then thought her her self, she was no longer little, well she was taller by all means but skinny and muscalr despite her status. Yes she took medications to keep her immune system up, last thing she needed was a cold or the flu it could kill her. Mia scrached her forehead." You do have a point though. Maybe he's just afirad I would get hurt, But heck he didn't seem to care when I got my bootie handed to me by one of the Titans I think I rememeber him laughing." Mia liked talking everything out with Roy, it was like he was the sensable side to her big mouthed crazy headed self. He had his points and almost all of them did make sense.
" Watch I bet you by nightfall He will be calling my phone which i turned off. I love that it cna be swiched off. To see if im off doing what i used to, shooting up and going off with some random guy. Or he knows who I more than likey ran off to and will avoid me. " she smiled at the avoiding her part, yes that would be heavan if Oliver did not search for her for once. It would be nice. Though she always did want to ask Roy a question, over the years and figured today would be a nice pace to change the conversation as she smiled to his comments on his daughter.
" Your good looks? Nah. She got her good looks and style from Me, as for the genetics eh, maybe you." she smiled trying to make him laugh even if her sense of humor was a bit dry. Mia then pulled the blue arrow out from behind her and show it to Roy." So what does this one exactly do? You never did tell me. OR can I shoot it outside and find out?" she asked as she slid it back behind her putting it away as she waited for the answer she had been longing for over the years.

Roy couldn’t help but laugh after Mia said that Ollie needed to take a kick somewhere special. He stifled his laughter a bit. “Well, I will be happy to film the occasion.” Roy said smiling. Sometimes Roy felt like if he ever got the chance or opportunity he would beat the crap out of Ollie. Other times he felt that Ollie wasn’t even worth that. Then sometimes he felt like he would never like to see Ollie again period. After everything Ollie did to him, after everything he had put him through, Roy was just done with him.
“Maybe you need to work with Ollie more often then. Me and Ollie were fine together until we started spending more time apart. Then he left and everything was downhill from there . . . well, eventually it went up hill, but it wasn’t for a whole year. I think you guys might need some bonding time.” He didn’t exactly know what they could do. Maybe they could have an archery contest or fight crime a little more often or something. He was sure they could find something they both liked they could have some bonding time with. “Or maybe do something that proves to him you’re an adult and opens up his eyes.” Roy said deadpan and casually though he couldn’t keep up that facade and broke out in a bit of laughter and anyone who knew Ollie would understand why. Ollie was just . . . well . . . he was Ollie.
“In all honesty,” Roy said, “I laughed too. It’s just that . . . well . . . It’s not like it’s it was Count Vertigo or Constantine Drakon or someone like that. It was Robin. It wasn’t like you were in any real danger. He wouldn’t really hurt you. It was practically sparring, except with acceptance into the Teen Titans hanging over you’re head. Y’know that sounds like a joke I would’ve pulled on a new guy who wanted to join the TT back in the day. I would’ve been like, ‘oh yeah, you can join. You just have to beat Robin.’” He laughed there. He didn’t know many people that could beat his old buddy Dick er ‘Nightwing’ in hand to hand combat, even back when he was still Robin.
He listened to Mia’s assessment of Ollie calling to check up on her. “Hm, seems like he’s changed a bit since I knew him. Who knew it was possible?” he half joked. Ollie seemed to care more about Mia if he was worried about her shooting up. Back when Roy got addicted to heroine, Ollie didn’t care if he lived or died anymore. He kicked him out on the street and left him to die . . . after punching him in the face and, if Roy remembered correctly though his memory could be over exaggerating the pain he had been in physically, dislocated his jaw. Even when he got cleaned up and got out of rehab and went back to Oliver he sent him off.
Roy almost laughed at Mia’s comment, though he was laughing a bit on the inside. He looked at his baby girl sitting there making her feet hit each other as she watched Spongebob. Roy’s eyes were quickly taken off of Lian though as his attention was drawn to the blue arrow. Oh . . . that arrow. His eyes followed the arrow as it was slid back in it’s quiver. “I wouldn’t shoot that arrow outside.” His facial expression had turned serious. “Pray you never have to use that arrow.”

MR. I can beat just about anyone but the memebers of my family. Come on he kicked my butt into the next week we all know that like no other, and yea I guess so but me and Ollie have nothing in common at all." Mia sighed as she scrached her head tilting it to the left a bit with a giant smile on her face.
" Well when I get the chance to get him there I will make sure to give you a call and we can put it online with the title " OLIVER QUEEN GETS IT " sound good?" she smiled as laughter escaped her lips before she looked back up at Roy's eyes before relaxing as she let out a deep breath of air.
" I'd rather have bonding time with That Batman fellow then oliver, we all know what ollie thought about me taking up Speedy, in the end I ahve to tell him it is what I wanted and my life to choose. Though look at him now he does not seem to have chnaged." she said as she as she slightly glared at Roy as he laughed.
" You know what It was Robin.. He is count DRACULA in my opion no one should be that flexable for a MAN like my god he knew my move before I did it's like he is a genius or something. I swear you and Oliver set me up for that butt hurting."
she muttered as she looked at Roy with a slight glare in her eyes, oh she was going to get him back for laughing at her just wait. " Robin... it was just Robin? Have you seen the way the guy moves, Pfft. At least i proved myself even if i lost to him. It Will Not. Happen. Next. Time. I will. Beat. Him." she had a promise in her words as she then looked over toward lian as she smiled. " Hey Lian want to learn how to use a bow and arrow? Auntie Mia can show you how." She smiled oh it was pay back time. She was goping to have some fun now to get back at him laughing at her.
Mia turned to Roy again as she swiched her phone off and shrugged " He does not really let me do what I want to when I take the cocktail we all know why. yea I am weak because of it but I can still defend myself Heck I defended my self against Robin." she smriked before she reached behind her back and twisted her hair up into a bun beforeputting the hair tie back on before looking back towards Lian waiting to see Roy's glare or fatherly part kick into gear on Mia if it did. Though Mia would never hurt Lian she would onlt show her how with toy arrows, never real ones.
" Do not worry, There like sticky darts, there not real arrows she will use I promise, well Not till shes afew years older, then Auntie Mia will buy her an awesome bow." she smiled more before she smirked a bit." So what does it do if I cannot shot it? And why pray that I do not use it, It will not expolde i have arrows like that, so What is it? A black hole? how is that even possible though." she questioned as she scrached her head looking at the ceiling thinking on what that one arrow could do.

“Yeah, but you’re forgetting something. Robin might be as great as he is, but just like the arrow family, he’s human. He has no powers. So he has to be that good. I hear this latest Robin is like smarter than the Robin from my day. When I was your age, I could spar with him one on one on equal levels and terms and there are only two people I’ve ever met who are better fighters than him. Black Canary and Batman. If Robin’s anything like Nightwing when he was Robin, you’re lucky to last five seconds in a match with him. Especially with a bow. He’s a close distance fighter so if you have distance to begin with, that’s great and all, but if you don’t have distance to begin with or he closes the distance between you it’s over. That was a lesson I learned a long, long time ago. It’s why I mastered Moo Gi Gong.”
Roy laughed at the thought of that, though he figured that Oliver could find a way to get it off the web. Of course, not before many people see it and burn it onto discs and it would probably get on the news anyway. “Heh, I heard that this Robin is not as flexible as the first from my day. Though I highly doubt anyone ever was or ever will be as flexible as him. He was beyond a master acrobatic. He was even better than Batman when it came to acrobatics. And he is a genius. It’s one of Batman’s listed qualifications for bird-boys. He trains them and tutors them and all that stuff himself and if they weren’t a genius to begin with, he turns them into one because Batman is a genius.”
Roy couldn’t barely hold in the laughter at her promise and it showed on his face. “If you beat Robin in a fight, then you’d have to become one of the best hand to hand fighters on the planet. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but the training will be like nothing you’ve experienced yet.” He heard Mia’s proposition to Lian who was so caught up in Spongebob that she almost didn’t hear Mia. Lian looked up from her show as a commercial came on and looked at Mia a bit puzzled. As if learning to shoot an arrow had never crossed her mind. It had crossed Roy’s mind quite a lot. Part of him wanted to teach her how to shoot. Even if it was just a thing they did together as fun. Another part was afraid his baby girl would grow up and run outside with a bow and arrow trying to stop criminals. He wondered if his own father would have felt that way. He had died saving Navajo Indians from a forest fire and Brave Bow, the shaman of the reservation raised him out of gratitude for his father’s actions.
“If anyone’s going to teach my baby girl how to shoot an arrow,” Roy said finishing the last bite of his mac and cheese, “it’s going to be me.” He looked towards Lian who was holding up his empty bowl of mac and cheese. “More please,” she said. Roy walked over and grabbed her empty bowl and walked into the walk-in kitchen. He put his own bowl into the sink and filled Lian’s bowl and brought it back to her. He turned towards Mia as she inquired about the blue arrow. “Pray you don’t use it because if you have to use that arrow, some serious threat is happening. Like Darkseid, Zod’s Army, Brainiac or Trigon level threat. Some terrible stuff would have to happen before it’s time to use that arrow. Have you ever heard of the Phantom Zone?”

I guess so. Though I would love to be better than him or at least get distance so I can get him one time with an arrow, maybe then I can win." She shrugged before rubbing her forehead as she smiled and looked in Roy's eyes.
' Maybe I should hire you over Ollie for a week then spar Robin and see who is the better mentor." she smiled as it was a joke though it would be fun in her mind to follow Roy more then Oliver.
"You know, We didn't really fight until cyborg launched Robin at me from the floor, so technically I did not loose, he just got an upper hand." she smiled remembering the day still.
" Though Oliver did pull a nice trick on me to get me down there.. I still owe him some payback for that.. Would a Hormonal teenager act do best? Or Moody Mia."She asked Roy as happily as she could, before rolling her shoulders watching as he got Lian more food as she smiled, that girl had Roy wrapped around her little fingers.
Mia watched lian's puzzled face as she smiled then turned to Roy wondering what his mind was thinking.' Aww come on Roy, Maybe When its a brighter day with me an Ollie you and and Lian should go shoot arrows, I haven't used a cross bow in a while it would be nice to practice that a bit, and you can show her how to shoot, I will not take that away."
She smiled as she spoke before she looked puzzled her self. Phantom zone... was that the place those super whatever villains were kept.. right? no it couldn't be.
Mia was lost as she pulled the arrow back from behind her back then pointed it at Roy holding it between her fingers." How did you get that place in this.. Is my first question.. Second one, Is that the place those Super whatever the name is keep there villains locked in? Like a prison right? If i recall, though when would I use that"
Mia asked before putting the arrow back away as she raised an eyebrow to Roy. It was all confusing Mia then sighed as she pulled the bun in her hair making it looser before looking down and back toward Lian as she watched TV then at Roy. " You let her watch the brain rotting shows? I am very shocked now.." she smiled as she used her smart mouth on Roy hoping to get a smile out of him before she put her hands in her back pockets and sighed.
" How long till Ollie cools down? One day? Two? I did push him a bit far... Though He was lucky I did not punch him is his face." she bit the inside of her bottom lip wanting to say more but held off sue to the child being in the room. Mia closed her eyes as she looked at the ceiling for a few seconds as she felt the pigheadedness and dizziness hit her then just vanish a few seconds later, she was not going to expose her weakness. She was a Arrow after all. Mia then looked back towards Roy.
" Can you teach me some of that Moo Gi Gong? Maybe then I can get the Upper hand and pin Robin on the ground." she smirked at the thought of beating Robin and then Ollie rubbing it in Batman's face would be even funnier in her mind as she giggled lightly picturing it in her head.

"I felt the same way about Nightwing when I was younger. So I took that dream and I made it a reality. Everyone should view beating a birdboy as huge mile stone." Roy wouldn't of minded mentoring Mia for a week even if she was joking. Roy wondered how that would go. He knew very well that both he and Mia could be very stubborn.
"Yeah, that was a bit unfair, especially since Robin had a few advantages to begin with. But I think we both know that the hero game can be quite unfair at times. Sometimes you don't know what's going to happen or when it's going to happen. That tested your mettle and your resourcefulness in a situation you wouldn't know was going to occur in which you also had several disadvantages." Roy reckoned if Mia had thrown a fit or got crushed under the pressure and surprise that she never would have made it onto the Teen Titans. He wondered how everyone was doing. He hadn't seen his old friends in quite some time.
Roy thought for a moment about what would be the best kind of payback against Oliver. Roy knew quite a bit about payback and tricks and pranks. After all, he had to live through Beast Boy and Kid Flash. "Hmm . . . no that'd probably just cause more arguments. Maybe a barrage of pranks. You could take the eggs out of the frigde, hard-boil them and then put them back or change the windows start up sound on his computer to sound like a scene from Die Hard. That's a great way to see how much of a man Ollie really is. He might actually wet himself. Oh or you could go classic: Coke and Mentos. You could take dental floss tie it around the Mentos and close the cap on the string so that the Mentos doesn't fall in until the next time someone opens it. Cons: volatile element may back fire on you. Pros: Once it starts there's no freaking way to stop it. Also, it qualifies as a scientific experiment so I'm pretty sure you can get a grant from the Government for it." Roy couldn't help but laugh. "Maybe you could do the old shaving cream trick. The best pro for that is that now that Ollie knows you're more than willing to mess with him in his sleep, he may never have a decent night's sleep again."
"I guess one day the three of us could go down to an archery range." Roy replied. "I haven't shot an arrow in so long. At least I never stopped making the arrows though. It's still one of my hobbies." Roy watched as she took the arrow back out and pointed it at him as she held it between her fingers. "Well . . . I didn't really get it in there. Frankly I have no idea how Superman made it. I always wondered why he made it into an arrow though. I nicked it off him in my Titan days. Yeah it's some kind of kryptonian jail or something. That arrows a one way ticket. Think, when would you use something like that? The world's been in situations in which it's facing it's end. There have been threats like Braniac and Zod and Trigon rising and Planet War World and Darkseid. That's not even beginning of the threats and potential world ending threats that have happened to our world, much less the new universe that collided with us. Superman isn't always going to be able to swoop in at the last minute and save the world every time. The Justice League might not always be there to save the world. That arrow, can finish off the job if nothing else will. The threats aren't over. They never will be. It's why the world needs heroes."
Roy smiled at the comment. "Hey, she loves the show. It's not the only thing she watches anyway. And she does plenty of other stuff. She spends a few hours a pre-school and she watches educational stuff and she has her playtime at the park. Spongebob is apparently how she unwinds." He said it all casually with a hint of joking in his voice as if he was talking about how Lian has it tough and has to do so much everyday or something." Roy thought of back in the day and wondered how long it would take Ollie to cool down. "I don't know. I usually didn't push him too far. We only had one notable fall out and that's lasted the past seven years." Roy shrugged his shoulders. "I suppose going back after he's asleep would be your best bet, though."
"Well, Moo Gi Gong would definitely help a lot against anyone from the Bat family. it'd help predict their attacks a hell of a lot better than anything else. I could teach you some Moo Gi Gong if we can work out a bit of a schedule." It was true that Moo Gi Gong would work best against the Bat-family. It was all about using external objects as weapons. Not just swords or bow and arrows or batarangs, but literally being able to use anything at one's disposal as a deadly weapon. Even a pencil and post-its. Not only that but it would make it easier to predict the movements, attacks and tactics opponents would use when using weapons. It was fortunate that the Bat-family used so many weapons. Of course, they were still all very skilled with hand to hand combat.

"Well if you haven't stopped making arrows, you should make me some more.. Your's always make a louder boom than Ollies. Plus I'd rather not build arrows.." she said whole heartly before she pulled on her hair once more. Mia then shurgged about the pranks, until the soda one made an apperance, she got a evil smirk across her face as she thought of ollie opening the soda and it going boom in his face, oh that would be classic. Ollie would have a sticky face, ya she could get grounded but it would be worth it.
" I like the mento one, and the shaving cream? That is cruel, a man needs his sleep so that he can produce little ones, well or not.. Oliver has enopugh teenagers." she smiled as she made a funny face befroe crossing her arms infront of her as she couldnt help but still laugh at the pranks he gave her that she could do oh they sounded wonderful.
Though Oliver was treating her like a kid the pranks could make that worse, or it could tell him that she is out for revenge on him. Mia closed her eyes as she was thinking to herself, it could be he is like this from the way she was before. Sure she used to shot herself up with needles and run around having sex with men. Though it was her father who put her on that past. She did not choose what she did. Mia was trying to survive in a cruel world.
Though Ollie did rescue her from it, she did prove to be a challange child. " That would be wonderful. I am sure Lain would enjoy it. Though if you ever want to get out at night you have my number, I can babysit." she smiled as she looked over and the tv before sliding her hands into the back pocket of her jeans pushing the dizziness that came and faded to the back of her mind before looking back at Roy and smiling.
" Well I plan on going to Gotham and giving bird boy a run for his money. I could hopefully scare him by shooting an arrow at his feet then showing myself to him. After all I want a rematch. Though It would be wonderful if you could show me some moves? Oliver seems to get flustered when we spar. Do not tell him I told you that." she smiled happily showing her white teeth before she pulled her phone out and turned it back on.
" OH! I have a better prank, what if i put on the laptop when it starts up some scences for explict movies and make his mouth drop to the floor, now that would be funny. Though that could backfire.. He might like that one.." she sighed trying to think of more as she opened up her messages app and sent a text out ebfore closing her phone and putting it back into her pocket as she sighed again.
" Hey Roy.. are you going to the Expo? Er.. Nevermind maybe that is a question for later." She did have a nack to say the wrong thing's at the wrong time, though with Roy it was hard. Yea oliver was a pain but she wished he would see that she did not want to go back to doing drugs and all. She wanted to be normal and she was far from normal, yea the kids at school growing up knew she was HIV positive.
Some of the Titan's she really did not want to break the news to the new ones on the team that she is HIV positive. It was hard enough to tell the member's she started with about it. Last thing she wanted to be named was the HIV freak-show of the team's she was with. Yea Mia was Titan but she was also a Arrow, like Roy would always be an Arrow, wither he knew it or not.

“I suppose. I mean it’s not so crazy. The Bat and Arrow families are both all regular humans. Which really means that their competition is mainly each other. I mean it can’t quite be the Super’s or the Aqua’s or the Green Lantern’s that are their main competition. It would too unfair. Being that both sides are human it gives each side equal footing they wouldn’t have against other powered heroes.” Roy reasoned. Roy smiled at Mia’s comment about his arrows. “I always did enjoy the boom.” He took a moment in-between his next statement as if a flashback might appear in real life as a joke. “I guess I could make you some.” He said with a shrug. It wasn’t too big a deal. Besides, he didn’t want to run out of room to put all of his creations. And if he didn’t give them to Mia . . . well, then nobody would get to see his art in action and that just wouldn’t be fun for anybody. Roy noted the evil smirk that formed across Mia’s face as he mentioned the Coke Bomb. He laughed at her comment about the shaving cream prank and crossed her arms and made a funny face. “Yeah . . . you can’t beat the classics can ya?”
“Yeah, she’s a lot like me so I’m sure she’d love it.” Roy said thinking about what it would be like. “Thanks.” Roy responded to Mia’s offer to babysit if he ever wanted to go out. Roy wouldn’t exactly know what he would do. He could possibly call up Cole. Or maybe he could go down to the bar and play pool. Someone was bound to show up and want to play a game eventually. “Sure, I could teach you some moves. Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. Besides when do I ever talk to Ollie?” He watched as Mia took out her phone and turned the power back on. An invisible ligth bulb practically lit over his head as he saw that. “I got a good idea that’ll make Ollie mad. You could change your ‘after the beep’ message to ‘Hello? . . . Hello? . . . Anyone there? . . . is this some kind of joke?’ and then the beep.” Roy could just picture Ollie having a conversation with the voice machine trying to talk to it.
Roy couldn’t help but laugh as he imagined the prank she was describing. “Maybe you should knock on the door when it starts and ask him what he’s doing in there.” He laughed even harder thinking about how Ollie cover that one. “Oh or you could record yourself and when it starts up the recording could tell him that you’re trapped in the Internet. Maybe you can switch his ringtone to a recording of yourself telling him he has a call and the longer he doesn’t answer it the recording yells at him to answer the phone and maybe insults him.”
Roy thought for a moment about what the Expo was. He was sure he had heard or read something about it. Perhaps it was on the news or in the newspaper. Even though Mia said it was a question for later he still thought about it. “Isn’t that . . . the thing . . . were the superheroes auction themselves off or something?” He said trying to remember it. He doubted he’d go. There was a chance of running into Ollie or Hal or Dinah. And he didn’t want to see any of those three. Besides where would Lian go for two nights? One for the Expo another for whatever he’d do with a hero. Besides he also didn’t exactly have a ton of money. He couldn’t go blowing it all on a chance to hang out with someone who he could probably call up on his phone if he really wanted to talk to them.

I Highly doubt Arrows can beat Bats. It always seemed like they were trained more than us, though I could be wrong. But It would be funner to do more Hand to Hand over just Arrow usage with Oliver, yea we fight now and then but to actuially do it all the time would be great." she smiled, oh how much Mia wanted to put on tape and boxing gloves and give Oliver a few upper cuts now and then just to beat some sense into his head.
Mia smiled when Roy said he would make her some arrows.' Really? That would be great. Your's just are more explosive." she smiled happily before she pulled her hair back down and placed her hands into her back pockets. She was still having s light evil smirk on her face loving the coke bomb idea. Oh would that work amazing on Oliver. Though if she did that he might throw out all the soda. Which would be good as well.
" Did you ever pu-." she smiled nicely before looking back at the child watching TV." Yea she seems to be like you in almost every way. I bet she got that habbit from you and you got it from the Titan's right?" she raised one of her eyes brows at the question remebering the get toghther she had gone to. Oh was she going to hunt down Static and stick an arrow in him for not showing up. Mia was going to make that her next mission.
" Can i stay here a few days? I would rather not wake up with Oliver looking down at me and yelling at me. We all know how irrational he can be." she shrugged as she asked before she pulled her hands out of her pockets. It would also let Roy got out and do some single man dutys, and she could easily watch Lian. It was not much of a task, it would be easy enough.
Mia smiled and jumped up happily that Roy was going to show her some moves. Besides he was right he did not talk to Oliver. a laugh escaped her lips as she smiled then fall on the floor in laughter before sitting up minutes later holding her sides." Okay, haha.. That would be funny. Ugh now my sides and cheeks hurt" she smiled biting her lip holding back from laughing again.
" I will do that one as well, but the door when the computer is going HAHA i don't think oliver would start it up ever again after that." she smiled as she nodded all these jokes were perfect, she moved her legs under her as she sat on her knees covering her mouth hiding laughs before she stopped and slowly stoop up swaying lightly as she shook her head at the thought of messing with Oliver, oh all these pranks were oh so perfect.
Mia then pushed her hair out of her face as she Looked at Roy and nodded." yea, I am putting myself up for grabs, though I am not sure if I want to Bid, but I am sure on putting an auction sign on me." she smiled before she shook her head lightly. Roy knew how to get her to calm down more than Oliver did at times. She sighed lightly as she had pay back to get on Queen when she got home. Oh was he going to get it.

"Well with that attitude you'll never beat Robin. I'll have you know back in my arrow days I could take on Robin or Nightwing. I'd lose to Bats, but I'd last longer than most. After all, I was trained by Black Canary." Roy, even though he held a seven year grudge against Black Canary, couldn't deny her skill as a fighter. In Roy's opinion she was the the greatest fighter the world had to offer. Sure Batman was very skilled, but he also relied more on his inventions. Things like Batarangs and the like. He figured that one on one with no weapons, Batman wouldn't of stood a chance against Black Canary.
Roy could easily see why Mia would want to train with Oliver. The thought of throwing a few good ones at Oliver Green was enough to make Roy happy and he supposed it went that way for Mia as well. Not to mention that Green Arrow could still teach Mia a lot about fighting. Though, Roy or Dinah could as well. He guessed she'd prefer learning from him, but prefer hitting Oliver more. Not to mention it would help them blow of some steam they were building up towards each other. Not to mention it might be some good bonding for the two. It seemed, at least to Roy, like they needed to bond over something.
"Sure," Roy responded to her inquiry of staying. He didn't mind and it would be good to get out. Not to mention Lian probably wanted to spend some time with Mia. After all, her mother wasn't in the picture so Mia was really the only girl in Lian's life. Roy figured it'd be good for her to spend some time with Mia. Besides, Mia was always welcomed in his home. And he certainly knew how irrational Oliver could be. It was one of the reasons they hadn't talked in seven years. One of the other main reasons being that they were both incredibly stubborn. Of course, it didn't help that Green Arrow had thrown him out on the street and left him for dead. It wasn't like Roy never tried to make amends either. When he had gotten out of rehab he went back to Oliver and he still turned his back on him then. Not even happy to see him. Just a disapproving frown, another fall out and seven years of grudges.
Roy laughed as Mia laughed on the floor before claiming her sides and cheeks now hurt. Just the thought of Ollie having an imaginary conversation with answering machine Mia could lift Roy's spirits on low days. Of course, this day wasn't a low day. Not to mention Mia going to the door when it happened? Classic. "You have to promise to record these for me if you ever do them," Roy said laughing a bit still. "You have to show them to whatever kids Ollie might have in the future in the form of home videos." Roy would love to see Oliver's face after each prank, but to have it immortalized would be even better. He'd also love to see any of Oliver's future children (if any) watching it. Now that would be good. "Perhaps you can present it to the Justice League or set up a live feed from Titans Tower." Roy was only half joking now. To have all of his colleagues and fellow heroes constantly bringing up jokes about it. "We need to think up nick names to call him as references to each joke. Oh and if you do the phone thing be sure to remind him all the time of his imaginary conversations he's had with you. Damn . . . could you imagine if he fell for the phone thing twice?"
Roy wondered what charity the money was going to. He hope it was going to a good cause. "So where's the money going? A good charity? Maybe one that caters to helping unwed single fathers in their mid-twenties who formally suffered from drug addiction pay their rent?" He joked casually.
