"You have got to be kidding me?" Roy exasperated when his friends approached him on the roof.

They were all there. Nightwing, Superboy, Miss Martian, Zatana and Rocket. And even though they retired, Wally and Artemis were there in their full gear.

"What no Aqualad? Oh that's right. He's sailing the high seas with daddy." Roy said through clenched teeth.

The team exchanged concerned glances before Nightwing stepped forward. They were all aware of his state of mind. Ever since his obsession with finding Speedy became his life force, it's all he's been using his energy for. His mind, body and soul suffered for it. His bulging muscles were slowly disappearing, along with his weight. His harsh and angry attitude seemed to be intact though.

"Look, unless you're here with news about Speedy's location. I am not interested." Roy spat out before Nightwing could even open his mouth.

Artemis groaned and glanced up at Rocket. The dark female took that as her cue to trap the red archer in her kinetic bubble. Roy ran into it, falling backwards and landed on his butt. He knew well enough not to fight it, but that didn't stop him from airing a few jumbled curse words.

The blonde archer stepped forward and kicked the bubble hard enough to knock him back down on the ground. Nightwing and Kid Flash stopped Zatana from stopping Artermis's outburst and just shook their heads.

"You better get interested you stubborn jackass! We're not here about Speedy. We're here about Fletcher." Artemis kicked the kinetic bubble again. More for herself than to shock Roy.

"What do you mean? Where's Fletcher?" Roy stood, placing his hands on the bubble and stared at his comrades—drinking in their nervous expressions.

Nightwing nodded towards Rocket, who then released Roy. The former sidekick approached his friend and debriefed him. "A few months ago we were in a battle with Wotan and The Brain—they were working with Kaldur and The Light. Their combined powers of science and sorcery seriously injured Fletcher, but before any of us could get to her, Kaldur grabbed her."

"Is she…"

"No she's not dead." Nightwing informed quickly. "But Kaldur fears that she will be or worse."

"What are you talking about?" Roy half shouted, glaring down the boy wonder.

Kid Flash stepped in, placing a hand on Nightwing's shoulder. "Nightwing, Artemis, Kaldur and I agreed that we needed to have an agent go undercover and work for The Light to identify their new partner and their plans. After Tula died and finding out that his biological father is really Black Manta, Kaldur was the logical choice. We four were the only ones that knew, until now."

"Wally, Artemis and Nightwing approached us about the situation. And caught us up on their plan." Miss Martian spoke.

"And just us. The new guys don't need to worry about this mess." Superboy seethed. He wasn't thrilled that his friends kept their plans a secret from them, but he'd be lying if he said he wasn't happy that Kaldur didn't turn to the dark side.

"Which is what exactly?" Roy was simmering. He was beginning to lose his patience with their jumping around the subject.

"Kaldur saved Fletcher with the help of Klarion." Nightwing began. "She's alive, but under a powerful spell that bines Fletcher to Kaldur."

"Bines? Bines how?"

"He used ancient magic. Fletcher believes that she's in love, has been in love, with Kaldur for almost a year." Zatana explained.

Roy's jaw dropped, the bow he was holding fell to the ground. "You're joking."

"I'm afraid not and it gets worse." Zatana paused, "Ancient magic is insanely powerful. Almost impossible to break."

"Almost impossible? So there's a way." Roy partially regained his composure. He wasn't liking where the conversation was going and judging how everyone was avoiding his gaze—he knew why. "She has to die."

"Either Fletcher or Kaldur do, yes." Zatana corrected, "Kaldur has come up with a couple of plans, but we all agreed upon the first one."

"Which is what exactly?"

"Before we get into that we need to know that you'll help us because it's going to take all of us." Nightwing said quickly before anyone else could speak.

"Of course I'll help. It's not like my search for Speedy is going anywhere." Roy said the last part underneath his breath, but he was sure the half kyrptonian picked it up because he was smirking.

Nightwing turned towards Miss Martian, she brought the Bio Ship into view and began to levitate those who could not fly.

"What's going on?" Roy asked.

"We'll explain the rest on the way, but we need to leave now." Nightwing replied as he took his seat to drive. Roy was confused for half a second, but Miss Martian didn't seem to mind that the team leader was taking command of her ship.

"So where are we going?" Roy asked again, taking the seat behind Kid Flash.

"The Arabian Peninsula." Kid Flash happily answered.

"What's there?"

"Ra's Al Ghul's hide out." The speedster replied.

Roy's jaw dropped again and then turned towards Nightwing. "And you know how to get there?"

Nightwing smiled cheekily, "Of course. Batman and I used to visit every once in a while. Granted they were to thwart his plans, but I remember how to get there."

"So what's the plan or plans?" Roy asked, finally able to relax.

"The first plan is for all of us to meet at Ra's Al Ghul's compound and try to talk Fletcher out of love with Kaldur." Miss Martian informed.

"That doesn't sound like it's going to work. So what's the second plan?" Roy sarcastically said.

"We're going to kill Fletcher."

Author's note: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm done. I love writing Roy so much. Especially when I'm all angsty and stuff.
