So it has kinda been a long time for uploading the second chapter. I KNOW. I've been busy! When you done read the A/N in the end so you'll know what and when to expect.
thanks for the awesome reviews: Howler66, LoonyLatias, Random girl and a guest.
GamerV: I'll think about it, I'm not going to work on the love interest now, it will come only in later chapters so if the story will go well I might ask the readers.
Random Girl: Well... In the show what makes Artemis Artemis is her father. But... NO SPOILERS
For now, enjoy the chapter :)
Young Justice is own by DC definitely not by me.
"So where do we start?" a new sidekick, Speedy asked his mentor, Green Arrow as they were standing next to each other at the edge of one of the many rooftops in Star City.
Green Arrow -after watching nothing in particular- looked at him with a grin. "Kid it's your first real patrol you choose" the blond gestured to the bright city below them with his hand. The thirteen-year-old grinned and pulled out a grappling hook arrow, he shot the arrow to another building, that was seven levels shorter than the building they were on.
GA looked skeptic at his protégé move. The young ginger stood up and smirked, sliding down the zip-line and moving out of the blond point of view.
The blond quickly followed his protégé steps and landed beside him with a small thud. The ginger looked at his adopted father making sure he didn't break something through the landing (to Roy defense he is kinda old, right?), then he took another arrow like before and shot it to another building.
"Come on old man," he said before sliding down the new zip-line. Green Arrow groaned and followed suit mumbling something in the lines of "I'm not old" and "I can be your brother."
As Green Arrow landed -again- next to Speedy he met a scene that causes him to smile, Speedy was kneeling at the edge of the building, binoculars in front of his face, eyes narrowed and lips pursed. He was scanning the city below them.
GA opened his mouth to talk but was cut off by Speedy saying "There." The ginger pointed to a group of thugs threatening two girls, in a small, dark alleyway
One thug was holding one of the girls' wrist -she couldn't be older then Roy, twelve at most- while pointing a gun at her forehead and yelling at her, the girl was about to cry, she was obviously scared. The other girl was on her knees, held by a second thug from the back, and another thug was holding a gun to her temple, she looked less scared and more annoyed - she was older than the other one, for sure maybe sixteen or seventeen, the two looked similar. There were at least another four thugs there, maybe more but it was dark and of course the thugs had to wear dark clothes.
'Why do thugs always need to wear dark clothes?' GA asked himself, 'Like what's the problem to wear regular clo-' but his train of thoughts was cut off when Speedy faced him. "We can take them down right?" He asked excited with a huge grin.
GA smiled and told him "Sure kiddo."
Speedy took out another grappling hook arrow and (A/N: you know) shot it at the wall of the alley facing the city (A/N: I don't really know how to explain it so just bear with me here) and slide down there.
he hid behind the wall and peeked at the scene. When GA landed behind him Speedy looked at him and put his index finger to his lips, signaling him to be quiet. The blond did as the ginger said but a frown decorated his face.
Speedy pulled a screen smoke arrow from his quiver and placed in on his bow, the thugs continued yelling at the two girls. He aimed the arrow towards one of the thug's legs and started counting quietly so the thugs won't hear him "1" he pulled the bowstring farther. "2" He took a step forward. "3" he released the arrow.
The arrow landed next to the thug and started to release smoke. Speedy was running towards the thugs with GA following. Speedy knocked the gun from the thug's hand -the one that held the younger girl- with his bow, and GA knocked the gun from the other thug.
The thugs started yelling and cursing. "What the fuck man?" one of the thugs yelled as GA kicked him in the stomach. "The hell?" another one yelled as Speedy pushed him against the wall and knocked him out.
"Come on bitches you let a powerless hero and his tiny kid sidekick beat you?" a larger thug, probably the head of the gang yelled while grabbing the annoyed girl and reaching for the other hurried over him and kicked his legs causing him to fall, The thirteen-year-old pulled a net arrow and shot it at the man, causing him to be grounded to the ground and swear "Fuck".
While GA continued fighting at the remain thugs, Speedy took the two girls and led them to safety. By safety, He meant the other side of the road. The younger girl hugged him and thanked him while the other one looked at the scene with a smile.
Speedy pulled away from the girl and asked "Are you okay?" the young girl nodded with tears and said, "Physically yes, mentally no." The two looked at the older teen "And you?" Speedy asked towards the teen, "Liz are you okay?" the young girl asked her.
In the light, Roy noticed that they looked different than in the alley. Their hair was in much lighter color, they looked more similar -sisters for sure- they looked younger, the older one now looked fourteen and the younger one now looked ten.
The older girl - Liz, looked at Speedy, smiled and said "Yes, thank you for saving us." The ginger smiled back, while Liz put her hand on her sister's shoulder, slightly squeezing it "Come on Lily we need to go home."
"Yeah you do," GA said as he came closer to the group "And I'll make sure you'll get there safe," he said with a smile.
The two smiled back to him and Liz turned to Speedy, "Are you a new hero?" she asked glancing at her sister. Roy glanced at his father figure and grinned "Call me Speedy" he said and Lily eyes lit up.
After they escorted the two girls, the two Queens continued their patrol, stopping a drug deal and another gang activity.
They were in their house backyard, ready to come in. "That was awesome" Roy exclaimed, taking down his hat. "Glad you had fun kiddo," the blond said with a chuckle, "You kidding that was more than fun, did you see how I punched that drug dealer?" Roy asked.
"Yes I did," Oliver said with a grin and stopped at the front of the door "Listen, Roy, I need you to know" he put his hand on his son's shoulder and let out a sigh "I'm really, really proud at you. Like you have no idea how much it means to me, jus-" he was cut off by Roy hugging him and saying "Thank you."
"Come on kiddo let's go inside" the green archer put his arm around the young archer's shoulders and led them into the living room.
As they went inside Roy was tackled by a hug from the nine-year-old Artemis. "So how it went? What did you do? Are you hurt? Bet you deserved it, I want to hear all about it" Artemis said while standing up and pulling Roy up.
Oliver raised an eyebrow and asked "Artemis, shouldn't you be in bed?" but Dinah answered instead as she went inside the room, "I let her stay awake, both of us wanted to know how was Roy's first patrol." Oliver sighed knowing he couldn't win an argument with his wife.
All of them sat down with a cup of tea Dinah made before and listen to Roy's story.
Yes! I did it I wrote the second chapter! And yes, I'm planning to finish this story.
I kinda didn't know what to do with this chapter so it took me a long time... But don't worry I'm gonna post the third chapter on December 20, FOR SURE. In the next chapter, I'm gonna talk (write) about posting times, and about anything else. I'm gonna try and put all the missing details in the next chapter. If not I'm gonna put them in the author note.
So... I think that's it.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED! BYE
