Hey peoples! I am sorry for not updating sooner. My ADD with writing and my procrastination didn't help this week, and the curse of writers block was hard to pass. But thankfully I finally was motivated enough by another authors frequent updates to finally post this. Thank you to all those who have stuck with me and dealt with my slow updates. Anyway enough with my talking (or typing) and without further a dew, here is chapter 9! Enjoy! :)


The next weeks passed by quickly as Rin started to move around the small room she was in, and the League had been in deep conversation over the choice to send her to jail or not. A few members thought that that was the best course of action, but the majority wanted to give her a second chance.

Then there was a second matter that they needed to discuss, who would mentor her, if they were not going to send her to prison. They knew that they couldn't just put her through the system otherwise she would just be lost. The fact that the League as a whole did not discuss this helped, but it was just the main three, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

"She should go with you, Batman. You have plenty of resources to help the girl reach her full potential as a citizen." Wonder Woman stated.

"No."

"Out of all of us you're the one who is the most prepared, for her."

"Green Arrow already knows her, and she trusts him."

"What about Artemis? Her death hit him hard and with Speedy coming back…he's has a lot of things going on." Superman put in.

"They both need each other." Batman replied and then walked away from them returning to his city.

Superman and Wonder Woman stood there, looked at each other and nodded. They knew Batman was right.


Green Arrow was sitting outside the metical wing, trying to piece together the news. He felt as though he was going to fail with her, like he did with Artemis, Speedy, and in some ways Red Arrow. He tired to encourage himself, but the shadow of the past hovering over him, discouraged this. Oliver was so focused on this that he didn't even notice Roy walking up to him.

"You still thinking that you're going to fail her?"

He looked up at him, briefly, and then back to the ground.

"I failed Artemis…I can't fail her, she doesn't deserve that."

Roy sat next to him.

"You won't fail her, Ollie. If anyone has failed her it was Slade, and I know you aren't going to be like him."

"I can't relate to what she went through, being a tool. I don't know what that's like."

"That may be, but if there's one thing I know you can do is listen to her." He got up. "She's getting her stiches removed. They should be done soon." He left leaving Oliver there, still getting through the fear of failing her. He knew what he had to do, and doing it was the hard part.


Rin was relieved when the last stitch was removed, she hated hospital rooms and the endless needles they seemed to have.

"You should still be careful, it may be healed up but you can still hurt it."

Rin nodded. She needed to punch something right now; it had been weeks since she last punched something and he body was missing it right now. As the nurse left, she saw Green Arrow come in. He sat next to her with a sense of calmness that was covering something deep inside of him. The silence was unbearable to her.

"So did they decide on it?" She asked him. He was caught off guard for a second, but managed to give an answer.

"Don't worry they aren't sending you jail."

She relaxed, clearly relived by the news.

"So where am I going to go?"

"With me…if you want."

She paused and thought about this for a second her mind still haunted by Slade, and she knew Green Arrow enough to know that he wouldn't be pushy with questions.

She looked back at him and nodded.

I a way he felt good but the shadow of doubt was still hovering over him.

They where able to leave that day, Rin was overjoyed to finally get away from the needles.


Ok I am sorry for the short chapter, but I try to update soon. I can comfirm that I will do a sequel to this story, because I do not want to put up too many chapters into one story. So for right now that is all I am releasing. Thank you for reading this, I sincerely appreciate it.
