"Hey!" The red-headed teen yells at the cat burglar, "Stop, now!" He pulls back the string on his red bow. The girl whirls around,the wind whipping her blonde-ish hair against her face as she smirks at hims, waving her fingers and laughing.

"Not likely, Red." The girl calls back, holding the hard-drive in between her forefinger and middlefinger; showing off.

Red Arrow releases the string and send the arrow flying towards her. She dodges it, then charges him. The girl jumps from her perch and lands just in front of Red Arrow, he struggles to load his bow as she begins her attack, throwing punches and snapping her wrist as a knife suddenly appears in each of her hands, making swift cuts of various depth and length along his arms as he desperately tries to protect his bowstring. Finally, he lashes out in a high kick, it connects with her shoulder, sending her sprawling.

She lands on her side, but her face hits the concrete on its side, she hisses in pain but pushes herself up with her right arm, avoiding using her left because of her bruising shoulder, she rests in a crab-walk position, not looking up at him. He smirks and twirls the handcuffs around his index finger.

"Wanna come quietly or attempt to fight?" The seventeen-year-old superhero asks haughtily.

She smiles at her feet. Suddenly, her head jerks up and her smile fades. "Shhhhh." Red Arrow frowns.

"Don't move, don't turn; trust me for half a second and I'll go with you; hand-cuffs and all." Her voice wavers slightly and her eyes are wide, her jaw is set. She puts her hands up and slowly gets up, using her legs only. She slides a knife into her hand, seemingly out of thin air, this sets him on edge. She studies the air behind him warily.

"Alright, sweetie" She says, eyes narrowing. Red Arrow scowls before he realizes that she'snot talking to him. "Back it up, you know I can nail you with this without blinking. Red Arrow hears a rustle behind him, he watches as the girl stays tense for a goo few minutes. After that, she relaxes with an exhale of relieved breath.

He jingles the handcuffs. She frowns, sighs and sticks her arms out. His eyes widen in disbelief, which she seems to find offesive, saying, "A promise is a promise, Red. I doubt you'll be happy I kept it though."

"That a threat?" Newly dubbed Red asks suspiciously.

"No, a fact. It won't be my fault; being a theif and being the bad guy are two very different thing. You remember that, Red." She huffs.

"Stop calling me that." Red says sternly.

She laughs and says cheerfully, "Not likely."

Red rolls his eyes under his mask and none-too-gently drags the girl back to the van where the Team was waiting. She frowns, staring at the building beside the van intently, as though she knows something about it, and doesn't particularily like it.

"Who the heck is that?" Robin asks, intrigued.

"Dunno, she stole the hard drive though." Red explained.

"Rescued." She snorts.

Artemis frowns, turning around in her seat, "Rescued? From who?"

The girl sniffs and says shaking her head, "Not who, they aren't a who."

"Okay...still..." Robin says uncertian by her answer.

"Not now." She says sternly, "Maybe not ever."

The Team quiets and Red points to a seat and sits down next to her. Artemis starts driving and blasts some music, letting everyone relax now that they had sucessfully retrieved the hard drive and its theif.

"Why'd you save me?" Red asks the girl quietly, confusion leaking into his voice. His brow furrows andhe waits for an answer.

She meets his eyes, "No point in letting one person die while trying to save another."

That definately didn't quiet Red's questions and she could see it on his face. It was odd he hadn't asked her what her name was yet. No motives or anything.

"What's your name?" Speak of the devil. She raises an eyebrow and he corrects himself, "What should we call you?"

She smirks and says, "Call me Edge."

"On account of you blades?"

His susupicions are confirmed as Edge chants, "Throw 'em, catch 'em, just don't find one in your back."

"So what do we do with her?" Robin asks warily.

" I tell you my name and you don't use it...?" Edge says, obviously a little annoyed, "Next time I'll save my breath!"

Robin colors a bit and defends himself, "Sorry, I didn't think I heard you right; Bats was talking about someone called Edge, but I didn't think she'dbe captured so easily."

She just shrugs, not saying anything about saving Red Arrow. He raises an eyebrow at this and does it for her, "SHe saved me from something; to get me to tust her she said that she would come quietly. What was it, anyways?"

"It'd take a while to explain; I'd need to draw it out." She shrugs, gently pulling on the cuffs to show them why she couldn't at the moment. "But I will later, OK?"

"Fine." Red and Robin say simulatiously.

The drive continues and Edge can see through the tinted window that the urban scape was quickly turning into coast and fields, a giant mountian lay ahead, not more than a few moments away. A burst of sound rushed overhead, and the Team and their captive saw the huge black jet sink down through the top ofthe mountian. Edge frowns as she thinks of the owner of that particular black jet; he'll not be very pleased with her.


Authors Note!

There are not enough Fics about Roy Harper out there so I figured I'd add to the collection. :) Give me lots of feedback and I swear I'll try to improve!

Thanks a ton,
