With Roy Harper (Red Arrow) dead, and Arsenal (the real Roy Harper) retired, there was only one archer that could take up the title of Star City's protector. Archeron was still young, but he was a dedicated archer. This was his first time actually patrolling the city, but he wasn't alone. Rave was just a couple of years older than Archeron, but she always protected her 'little brother'. The children of the legendary heroes now had their own children, and they grew up together, so they were a family all their own.

"I can do this on my own Rave, I don't need a supervisor." Archeron said as they landed on the roof of one of the two abandoned Queen Industries buildings.

"You can't handle a city this big on your own." Rave said as she walked up to her little brother.

Archeron didn't say anything, as he silently knew that the 16 year old was right. His father and mother's mentor was the best, and he started when he was a grown man. With his father dead since he was four; died saving the very city he protected Archeron learned to be an archer from his mother and even picked up a few tricks from Green Arrow himself.

Rave is the first born daughter of the legendary Nightwing (aka the first Robin) but she is not a normal human like her father, as she also had some demon blood running in her body. When the heroine was just seven she died for a bit, but with a blood donation from the heroine Raven, Rave was brought back and now has some of Raven's powers. Rave is skilled in martial arts just like her older brother; Nightwing II and her father Nightwing I and even utilizes weapons like her fathers.

Word on the street was that there had been some burglaries around the city, and the two teens were going to figure out what was going on. When they left the Queens Industries building, they soon picked up the sound of a security alarm and headed to the building. When they arrived, they saw a somewhat familiar outfit, but Rave had only seen it in the archives of her father's files. It was a dark blue body suit with parts covered in Kevlar along with orange gloves and boots. The intruder wore a full helmet and it looked like it was painted in two different colors. This man was also carrying many different forms of weapons; from guns to a boa staff, even eskrima sticks.

"Hold it right there." Archeron said as he readied his bow to fire an arrow.

"Oh, I see the little archer is here, but it's really the girl that's with you I'm after." The figure said, and with that he turned around.

Rave stood there in shock when the mask revealed only one eye and she almost froze. Soon enough she gathered her emotions and pulled out her eskrima sticks and started toward the thief. Archeron was amazed at how her movements had changed, but it wasn't enough as the thief was able to take her down in three moves, once he could actually hit her.

"Rave!" Archeron said as he pulled his bowstring tight and let the arrow fly.

"Cute, it's too bad I'm not after you and your family, but I hope this helps you feel like you aren't being left out." The man said as he dodge the arrow then pulled out a strange gun.

It had a different look than any gun the 15 year old archer had seen, but when the man fired it, several different projectiles came out of it. The projectiles hit the young archer in vital areas of his body: a crossbow arrow to the chest; an old school bullet to the right leg, near an artery; a laser to the stomach; and as the boy fell, a syringe to the neck.

"You won't get away with this…" Archeron started, but from the pain of the three wounds, and whatever was in the syringe, his body was shutting down.

"So long boy, I will tell Rave about your demise." The man said, and with that said he picked up the unconscious teenage girl and headed out of the building.

Archeron fell unconscious at that point, but tried reaching out to Rave.

Twenty Minutes Later

Archeron started to come too, but knew he wouldn't stay that way for long, as he saw the blood he had lost. He used the last of his strength to reach the comm link he kept in his ear, but he didn't have the strength to keep it active so he could talk. The link crackled to life with static, then a voice was heard.

"Watchtower here, what's going on, Vincent…. Vincent, are you there. That's it I'm teleporting you up now." The young voice said, and soon after, Archeron disappeared within a boom tube.
