The White Arrow
Prologue
My name is Riley Ward and ever since I was little the Arrow has been my hero. I was a kid hunted by a gang and one day they finally caught up with me.
(Flashback)
"There's the kid" one of the gang members said, I was running at my fastest pace trying to shake the gang off my tail but nothing is working, they just keep coming. After I made a wrong turn I ran into a dead end alley, great just great. "Ok kid time to pay for what you stole"One of the gang member said, "I didn't steal anything"I tried to tell them but they just brought out knives and guns. Next thing I know there was two arrows in the wall, one green and one crimson. "Holy shit its the Arrow and the kid"One of the gang members said, next thing I knew two men one wearing green and one wearing crimson came from the rooftops and started taking down the gang in hand to hand combat.
(Flashback ends)
I remember when they asked if I was ok and left i was still in amazement, I was 12 at the time. After that day I trained for four long years with Mercenary Slade Wilson(Deathstroke), Assassin Malcolm Merlyn(Dark Archer), Marksman Floyd Layton(Deadshot), and boxer Ted Grant(Wildcat). With the skills they taught me I revealed myself as the Dark Avenger to the Arrow and Arsenal and saved them from an arms bust gone south, that was the day I joined the team, I was 16 at the time.
But 5 years have past now the team is gone, Oliver and Roy are dead. Felicity and John are presumed dead, and Laurel quit after Ra's killed the others, so now I continue Oliver's crusade and protect the city that has become my home, but I am not 16 anymore and I am no longer the Dark Avenger. I am 21 and I protect Starling as the White Arrow.
