Hey Guys! So this is a little break for me from my multi-chapter stories that PaintingFlowers13 and I came up with this while walking our dogs! So, while Officer Krupke is awesome, Mister Red Arrow is (I hope) better! Anyways, enjoy, and tell me what you thought in a review or PM! :D
Conner Kent cursed as he felt his right leg trip the wire that set off the blaring alarms. His friends, the other people robbing the jewelry store sent him a harsh glare. He rolled his eyes at them, smashed his fist through the glass, grabbed all he could hold, and the six of them sprinted out of the shop. Kaldur Ahm, the eldest of their little band of miscreants led the way down a dark alley. They pressed their backs to the wall and stuffed their stolen goods into their pockets while police cars blurred past them. Once they were out of sight, the teenagers ran from their alley and started walking casually down the street.
"Nice going meat head. Now we're going to have to dodge the cops for a while!" Wally West complained. Conner growled at him and Kaldur stepped in between them.
"It is done. What did we manage to get away with?"
"I got everything in my case!" Megan Morse said happily. Conner doubted that, but gave her a grateful smile. "What did you get Dick?"
"I got three diamond necklaces, an emerald bracelet and some gold earrings." Dick Greyson cackled. "Con?"
"I got two fistfuls of jewelry. What'd you get Fleet Feet?" Conner asked gruffly.
"A case of earrings, some weird looking bracelets and a few necklaces. Kaldur?"
"I grabbed the case full of birthstone jewelry. Artemis what did you manage to get?" Artemis Crock smirked proudly, and started to strut a bit down the street.
"While you geniuses were wasting time with the shiny stuff, I went for the cash register and safe." She said smugly. Dick high-fived her, and Wally groaned.
"Great. Now we get to hear about how Arty is such a better thief." He complained. "Just like last time."
"Hey last time, I stole almost a thousand bucks!" Artemis protested.
"Yeah, but then when we went to hit Wayne Manor, you got lost and we found you crying in a corner by yourself!" Wally smirked. It was a bit of a cheap shot, since Artemis had been attacked by Wayne's dog and she was already terrified of the creatures, but no one called him out on it.
"I- Well you…. Don't call me Arty!" Artemis muttered, falling back into a normal walk. Kaldur slipped one of his hands into hers and squeezed it comfortingly. She smiled back at her almost big brother and her confidant smirk returned.
"Alright. Let's see what we got!" Dick said with a grin. They had turned into a deserted alley way and started unloading their ill-gotten gains. As soon as the jewels were out of their pockets, several red arrows came whizzing out of nowhere, pinning Artemis, Kaldur, Conner and Megan to the wall. Another two arrows exploded into a net, trapping Dick and Wally.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite group of juvenile delinquents. Give me one good reason not to drag you down to GCPD and leave you there all tied up." Red Arrow sneered, leaping down from a roof top. He hit the ground and waited for them to get out of their binds. They always did, and it was pointless to try and stop them. Conner broke the arrows holding him and then simply slipped off the stumps and then went to free Kaldur while Megan slid out of her jacket as though it was intangible, and freed Artemis. Dick and Wally merely cut the net with their pocket knives. The six gang members faced down the newest member of the Justice League with angry glares. While the other five went for their weapons, Kaldur shook his head.
"Maneuver seven." He whispered. The glares quickly faded into eager grins of anticipation. Wally stepped forward, and sunk onto on knee.
Dear not-so-kind Red Arrow,
You gotta understand!
It's just our situations, we let get outta hand
Wally sung. Red Arrow's face darkened in annoyance. Dick and Artemis stepped forward together.
My mother is a crippled
She sung, before Dick vaulted onto her shoulders and continued, motioning at himself and Wally.
Our parents all are dead!
Ob-vi-ous-ly we're wanted by the feds!
While the ex-sidekick of Green Arrow was focused on the three singing psychotics, Megan crept up behind him and knocked his feet out from under him. The hero was forced to roll away from Conner's downward punch while the entire group started to sing.
Gee, mister Red Arrow, we're really insane!
we've been training all our lives an' it's really a pain!
We ain't no delinquent's, we're misunderstood!
Deep down inside us, there is good!
Kaldur, Conner and Megan took over for the moment, while Dick and Wally focused on attacking Red Arrow and Artemis went about snatching some of his arrows every time he got too close to her.
There is good, there is good
There is unused good
Like inside, the worst of us is good!
"That's a lovely story." Red deadpanned, taking a swing at Wally, who easily weaved out of the way.
"Can I tell it to the world?" The red headed thief asked hopefully.
"Just tell it to Batman." Red Arrow smirked as Gotham's protector swooped down from the rooftops.
"What. Is going on here." He demanded to know. The teens, who were momentarily struck dumb by the Dark Knight's sudden appearance, allowed themselves to be securely tied up by Red.
"These are the punks who broke into Wayne Manor a few weeks ago. The ones who travel from city to city stealing from anyone and everyone they can. I've been tracking them for months." Red explained, folding his arms over his chest.
"What do you have to say for yourselves?" Batman asked, looking at Conner. Kaldur answered him, and impish grin on his normally stoic face
Dear kindly Dark Knight, Batman
Our parents hate our guts!
Conner took over, scowling at the ground and his voice leaking the hurt he actually felt from his father's cruel treatment.
With all my anger issues,
He treats me like a mutt
After giving Conner a comforting squeeze on the hand, Megan kept it going while Dick cackled at seemingly nothing and smiled creepily at Red Arrow.
They didn't want to have me
but somehow I was had
Scary Martians, that's why we're so bad
Batman looked curiously at the children before turning his glare over to the invading hero.
Riiiiiiiight.
Mister Red Arrow, you're really a square
These kids don't need a bat, they need Canary's care
It's just their daddy issues that need to be curbed
Batman chose that moment to look over where Dick was still laughing quietly to himself and smiling like a clown.
But he's psychologically distoibed!
"I'm distoibed! Wait when did we end up in Boston?" Dick yelled happily. Artemis rolled her eyes.
"No clue. Just roll with it" Dick shrugged and the entire group began to sing again.
We're disturbed, we're disturbed,
We're the most disturbed,
Like we're all psychologically disturbed!
"Take them to Arkam Asylum. Black Canary is working their part time as a shrink. She'll be able to sort them out." Batman said and watched as Red Arrow escorted the gang into a police van and head up to Arkam.
"So if we're disturbed, does that mean the rest of the world is turbed?" Dick asked as they travelled, earing himself a sharp whack on the head from Red Arrow.
"Oh shut up." Wally snapped. He really hated it when Dick tried to be clever like that. When they got to Arkam, it was decided that because it was cheaper and less time consuming, it was going to be a group therapy. They were let in straight away, and the delinquents wasted no time in making themselves comfortable on Canary's couch, desk and chairs. She coughed once, then started the questions.
"Tell me about your families." She said. Kaldur started off.
My father is a villain, my mother is obscure
Wally jumped off the chair he was lounging in and landed on Kaldur's lap.
My grandpa is a speedster, my grandma is a cur
He sighed. Artemis, who was already sitting beside Kal, shoved the ginger onto the floor and propped her legs up on the dark skinned boy.
My sister wears a cat mask, my boyfriend's made of ice
Goodness gracious, that's why I'm not nice!
Canary's eyes widened before she realized there was really nothing she could do to help these kids. She didn't want them to end up in Arkam though, so she went with plan Wonder Woman and Superman.
Yes, Mister Red Arrow, this isn't too awful.
These kids don't need a cell, they need a good role model.
Society's played them, a terrible trick
This was when Wally decided that it was a good time to jump on Red Arrow's shoulders and send them both crashing to the floor, with Wally laughing manically.
And sociologically, he's sick!
Canary added with a sigh.
I am sick!
Megan cheered, with the others echoing her.
We are sick, we are sick,
We are sick, sick, sick
Like we're sociologically sick!
"Besides, I believe juvenile delinquency is merely a social disease." Canary explained. Wally turned to Artemis wearing an idiotic expression.
"You hear that? I have a social disease!" The blonde smacked him on the back of the head at the same time as Red Arrow. Canary groaned and quickly arranged for a Zeta Beam to take the six and Red Arrow down to the Hall of Justice so they could meet up with Superman and Wonder Woman. When the group got there, Dick immediately slipped out of Red Arrow's grasp and latched onto Wonder Woman's leg.
Dear, kindly Wonder Woman
They tell us get a job
I'd be a boring waiter,
But then I'd want to sob
Megan, who was always felt alienated from the rest of society until she met the others, picked up.
It's not I'm anti-people
I'm only anti-earth
Ser-i-ous-ly that's why we are jerks!
While the two most adorable member of their trope distracted the senior League members, Conner and Artemis bothered Roy and the other two set about snatching everything they could fit into their coat pockets. Superman took one look at the mayhem the six kids were able to cause and started screaming at poor Red Arrow.
Urk! Mister Red Arrow!
You've done it again!
These kids don't need us,
They need to be put on a bus!
It's not just a question of misunderstood!
Deep down inside them, their no good!
He berated. The teens, grinned wildly and took the opportunity to use the Kryptonite arrow Artemis had stolen from Roy earlier to knock out Superman. When the Kryptonian went down, Conner, Kaldur and Wally dragged him into a supply closet while Dick tied Wonder Woman's legs up with his super strong rope. She too fell to the ground, and while Wally and Conner fought with Red Arrow, the others sprinted through the Hall of Justice, stealing everything of value while singing.
We're no good, we're no good,
We're no earthly good
Like the best of us is no damn good!
As soon as the other four returned, both Superman and Wonder Woman got back up, and Black Canary, Captain Marvel, and Red Tornado arrived. Red Arrow grinned evilly at the younger kids and stood in front of the door with the other Leaguers.
The problem is their friends!
Zatara yelled, aiming for Wally with a magical attack.
The problem's their insane!
Black Canary insisted, trying to hit Megan with a sonic scream.
The problems are their trends
Superman suggested, trying to fry Conner with his heat vision.
The problem is their vain!
Wonder Woman grumbled, attempting to lasso Dick.
The problem is their growing
Captain Marvel cried, struggling to catch Kaldur in a windy breath. All of a sudden, the doors blew open and another group of teenagers were standing in the hole they made. Zatanna, Raquel, Jade, Cameron, Barbra, and Garfield, smiled smugly at the off-guard Leaguers. Using a smoke arrow Artemis had lifted off of Red Arrow, the Gang slipped past the League and escaped into a near-by alley way. Only Red Arrow, who was expecting this managed to follow
The problem's their not alone
Red Arrow snarled, as he realized that the entire gang had surrounded him.
Arrow, we've got problems of our own!
Gee, Mister Red Arrow, we're down on ground,
The Gang sang joyously to him, twisting towards him and grabbing away all of his weapons.
'Cause no one wants to lose the girl they've only just found
Cam soloed, pulling Artemis close into his side. Then the entire group came back in.
Gee, Mister Red Arrow, What are we to do?
Jade slipped up behind the hero and knocked him off his feet. Then the whole group crowed around his dazed face.
Hey, Mister Red Arrow!
SCREW YOU!
"Nighty night sucker!" Artemis smirked, before kicking him sharply in the temples. The last thing Red Arrow heard before slipping into unconsciousness, (And the first thing he heard when he woke up in nothing but his boxers,) was the annoying cackling of Dick Greyson. Zatanna and Barbra hugged Dick, who presented them with the jewelry he had stolen earlier, Megan and Conner embraced, Kaldur held Raquel's hand, Artemis and Cam kissed quickly, Wally hoisted Garfield onto his shoulders, and Jade took a few picture of the nearly naked Red Arrow with the camera she had just stolen. All in all, it had been a good night.
