Well, the twins have met Wally and Kaldur, so now it's time for them to meet the newest archer in Star City.


Chapter One

The twins had heard about Green Arrow, but when Dick hacked into the Batcomputer once before, they learned that he had a sidekick, Speedy. It was just as they were closing out the file on the Batcomputer that the Dark Knight himself came into the cave from the manor.

"Dick, Reiena; are you hacking my files…again?" Bruce asked as he noticed one file was still open.

"Well, we heard something on the Star City news saying that Ollie had a sidekick now, and we wanted to know more and who else would have that information but you." Reiena said, staring straight at her adoptive father.

"I know you two have hacked the League's files before, even after the mission with Barry and Wally." Bruce said as he looked from his daughter to his son.

"Okay, so we were curious about Speedy, can you blame a couple of eleven year olds." Dick said, not moving his blue eyes from Bruce's stare.

"Well, how about we go meet him, Ollie's having trouble in Star City with a villain I've faced a few times. I could use your help too." Bruce said as he walked over to the costume storage.

The twins looked at each other with grins and followed their mentor to change.

Star City, Four Hours Later

The Batjet was the fast way to get to the west coast, and when they arrived, the twins saw how beautiful Star City was. The jet headed to the outskirts of the city, and they saw a mansion, which was as beautiful as Wayne Manor, but this one was more inland than their home. They went around back and landed on the unoccupied basketball court. The twins started to get up, but Batman only motioned for them the stay seated. About two seconds passed, and suddenly the Batjet started to fall. When the twins looked out, they saw that the court was moving down.

Soon enough they were in a large cave, and the twins were let out first. Just as both pre-teens landed on the cave floor, four arrows came flying right at them. Robin was a little freaked out at first, but soon enough Cardinal stepped infront of him and put up a fire shield. They thought the arrows would simply burn up once they hit the shield, but that was proven wrong as the tips of the arrows exploded, throwing the twins backward into one of the Batjet's rear tires.

"Speedy, what's going on down there?" A voice asked about five seconds later.

"We have intruders." The one named Speedy hollered as he had another arrow ready.

"Okay, that does it; I'll burn you for that." Cardinal hollered as she readied a fireball.

"Cardinal, stand down." Batman said as he landed right beside them.

"Didn't Speedy know we were coming Batman?" Robin asked, curious as to why Green Arrow's sidekick would attack them.

"Sorry, Robin; I forgot to tell him." The same voice from before said, and with that, its owner appeared by the jet.

"Wait, these two are Robin and Cardinal." Speedy asked as he got a good look at them. "Sorry guys, Ollie's forgetful when it comes to telling me things."

"It's alright, at least I could control the fire from the explosion." Cardinal said as she looked right at Speedy.

"So the rumors are true, you can control fire." Speedy stated.

"That wasn't obvious when I put up that fire shield." Cardinal snapped at the boy.

"Okay, now that that's over with, how about we talk about Deathstroke." Ollie stated.

"So, you were right, he's back up to his old tricks." Batman stated.

"Yes, and Speedy, you can lose the mask, I'm sure they know who you are." Ollie said, and with that, Speedy removed his mask.

"Hi, I'm…" Speedy started to say.

"Roy Harper, you were taken in by Ollie about a year ago." Robin said.

Roy was about to blow a gasket when he remembered that Batman was in the room. All he did was smile awkwardly and walked over to his guardian.

"Robin, Cardinal; it's alright to reveal your identities. I trust Ollie with my identity." Batman said and when the twins looked at their mentor, they saw his cowl was down. The two birds then removed their masked and revealed their blue eyes to their soon to be new friend.

On the other side of Star City, Deathstroke was working on a plan to take out Green Arrow, but he had found out that Batman was in the city as well, so what he had needed to be modified greatly to accommodate for the Dark Knight being there. The mercenary knew their weaknesses and strengths, and knew he could take the two heroes.

"Green Arrow thinks that just because he brought in Batman that they can stop me, well, I'll show them, and complete the contract." Deathstroke said to himself.

Back in Green Arrow's hideout, Roy was confounded by the fact that he had tried to blow up Richard and Reiena Grayson.

"No wonder you can do all those stunts as Robin." Was all Roy could say at first.

"Yea, I'm a natural born aerialist." Dick stated.

"Could I ask a question, how come you did fire dancing instead of being on the trapeze with him?" Roy asked, and Reiena just looked at the ground. "I'm sorry if…"

"No, it's alright; I was afraid of heights when I was little, when mom fell during practice, even though she landed in the net, I was still scared." Reiena said as she looked back up at Roy.

"How did you come to live with Ollie?" Dick asked, his curiosity hitting.

"I lived on a Native American reservation for a while after my father died in a forest fire, then when the chief of the reservation died, Ollie took me in." Roy answered.

Bruce and Ollie were looking over some plans and files when the three wards looked their way.

"Why don't you kids go into the manor, I'm sure the twins are hungry." Bruce said. It was at that time that the twins' stomachs started to rumble.

"Come on, I'll fix you guys something." Roy said, and with that, Dick and Reiena headed out after him.

"So, seems that Reiena still has some problems hearing about the circus." Ollie said.

"She had a nightmare a couple of nights ago. Both still have them, but they are not as bad as when I first took them in." Bruce said, then pulled his cowl back up to show he wanted to change the subject. "So, what's Deathstroke up to now?"

"I've found clues, but items were taken from three different buildings of Queen Industries. Not sure what anyone can make from the parts." Ollie stated.

"Wow, this is going to be good. Now if I could just get the oven to light." Roy said after combining all the ingredients for chili into a pot. The 16 year old was getting agitated, when suddenly Reiena walked up beside him.

"How about I just cook it." The fire controller stated.

"How?" Roy questioned, not adjusted to the twins being there.

"I'll just light the gas, and I can keep the place from exploding." Reiena said, and with that, she created a small flame in her hand.

With that she moved the flame to the eye, and Roy turned on the gas again. This time the gas caught the flame and the pot was ready to cook.

"Thanks, Reiena." Roy said with a smile. "Your power is pretty handy."

"That's nothing, I can control fireworks too." Reiena stated.

"I'd love to see that one day." Roy said, a smile on his face.

The chili didn't take long, as Reiena was secretly keeping the fire very hot, and not even Dick realized it.

"Wow, that was…you little sneak." Roy stated

"Hey, I'm a bat, what do you expect." Was all Reiena stated and that's when both boys saw a smirk on her face.

Roy made sure the chili wasn't burned, and once it was alright, he got three bowls of it and set them on the table along with some crackers. The twins tried the chili, and both loved it.

"This is great Roy." Dick stated.

"At least it's not Ollie's his is so hot it could make your throat bleed." Roy said and with that, he laughed.

"Thank you Roy." Reiena stated, and with that she took a sip of water.

YJYJYJYJYJYJYJ

Down in Green Arrow's base, he and Batman were watching the kids on the security cameras in the manor.

"Looks like Roy has a little crush." Ollie stated.

"He tries anything and he won't have a crush for long." Bruce said.

"You know you can't protect her forever, she will grow up." Ollie said, hoping to quail the anger building up in the Dark Knight.

"If anything does start between them, I'll be watching him carefully. Let's just get back to studying what Deathstroke is up to." Bruce said, and with that, he pulled the files back up that he was looking at.


So, looks like Deathstroke is up to something, but who is he working for, and does he have something else up his sleeve. You'll just have to wait and see.
