The Suffering of Lian Harper
It was one of their biggest battles ever.
The Outsiders and the Justice League, teaming up to deal with the mutant offspring of Charaxes, formerly Killer Moth, cross-bred with the DNA of some of the worst and deadliest villains ever to scar the face of Earth.
It was now down to Arsenal and Wonder Woman as the two faced off against Charaxes and the new Brainwave, the one commanding the fleet. Roy was trying his best to hold off the mutant insect man when his phone started ringing. At that moment Wonder Woman managed to get the giant bug off him before his digestive juices managed to burn off his soul patch.
"Now is REALLY not a good time, Mia!" Arsenal yelled in his phone.
"Daddy?"
"Lian?"
"Daddy! I, I had a…" Lian's voice trailed off as she started crying on the other end of the phone.
"Lian? Lian?!" Roy yelled.
"Witless fools! You have no possible means to defeat our army!" Brainwave cheered.
"It's going to take everything we've got," Batman stated, "but we have to-"
He was cut off by the sight of two napalm arrows and a taser arrow fired off at the two villains.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!" The two screamed as they were singed/electrocuted into submission. The rest of the clones shut down almost immediately.
"Whoa." Nightwing said. "Good job-Arsenal? Where'd he go?"
…
"LIAN!"
"Roy!" Mia yelped in surprise when she saw her surrogate brother charge through the front door. "How'd you-"
"Where's Lian? What's wrong?" He asked as he grabbed Mia by her shoulders.
The sound of crying coming from behind Mia alerted Roy to his angel's presence. She sat on the couch, crying, holding up a bandaged hand. There was blood on the Flash t-shirt her uncle Jay bought her.
"Da, da, daddy…" She hiccupped as she cried.
"I was in the bathroom when she dropped a glass." Mia explained. "She tried to clean it up herself and she cut her hand."
"Does she-?"
"No, she doesn't need stitches. I checked." Mia explained. Roy sighed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't muh-mean to." Lian cried. She'd never got hurt that bad.
"Oh baby, it's okay." Roy said as he held his daughter in his arms and tried to wipe away her tears.
"Roy how did you get here so… oh."
Mia trailed off when she saw the high jacked Batmobile parked across the front lawn of the house.
