Blame writer's/typer's block for the wait. And other personal stuff that not really important.

6 AM. Why the hell did I set the stupid alarm for 6 AM? Ithought to myself reaching over to turn off the blaring clock, only to slip and fall onto the hardwood floor. What the..? I thought as the cold of the floor started to seep into my bare-chested form. Oh right. Cee spent the night and she took the bed, but then where is the stupid alarm coming from?

"Hey sleepy, sorry for the beeping but your coffee maker really doesn't like me," Serenity said leaning her top half over the edge of couch. Would it kill the girl to wear clothes?

"You're still half-naked," I said still sluggish from only waking up a moment ago and only managing to point out the obvious.

The soft giggle that sounded like her brother's left Cee's lips before she responded, "Yep I couldn't find the clothes I left here the last time I stole your couch."

I pushed myself off the varnished wood into a standing position so I could turn off the coffee maker, the beeping was really grating my nerves. I hate machinery, especially small kitchen appliances; the little scraps of metal and I really don't get along. After looking it over for a minute I just gave up and pulled the plug of the coffee maker earning a round of giggles from my female guest.

"You just wanted to see me get mad at the coffee maker didn't you?" I asked knowing the answer. Cee was good with mechanics and had never had a problem with my coffee maker before.

"No, honestly, you got a new brand and it really didn't like me and I really couldn't figure it out," Cee said looking mildly honest, even with the sunglasses she had on. One thing that should have already been said but wasn't, is that Cee is photosensitive or she's a photophobic; in Serenity's case if her eyes are exposed to a sizeable amount of sunlight she gets a migraine. So Cee always wears shades when there's too much light for her to handle, even her superhero mask is tinted.

"Uh… Yeah I kinda had to get a new one my ex threw my old one at me when she was storming out of here," I said as I took the pot of coffee out and put it on the table.

"What happened?" Cee said looking concerned.

"You did. She found your extra clothes in the closet and… yeah," I said really not wanting to talk about Stacey.

"I'm really sorry Roy. I can stop leaving my clothes here if you want."

"Nah, I hid them in the back of the closet. And my last three girlfriends weren't really that important."

"Alright," a taunting smirk graced her lips, "quick question though; did they dump you because they thought you were a two-timer or because they thought you were a cross-dresser?"

"You. Get out," I said a fake seriousness in my voice.

"I wonder what's the female version of Roy? Roxana, Rosemary, oh how about Rocky?"

"You are so dead," I screamed at her launching my body over the counter so I could try to grab the girl, playfully of course. A round of giggles left Cee's lips and she slipped under my approaching arm, expecting this I whipped around so I could grab her around the waist successfully trapping her arms as well.

"Roy!" I whipped my head towards the sound and was facing the door to see it open with one very angry Robin standing in the frame. Realizing that Cee was still half naked and I was still shirtless I could imagine what this looked like. I quickly let go of the girl, who happened to be perfectly calm with the current situation.

Crack

Serenity had her arms around her brother holding him back while speaking rushed lines of gibberish. I started to rub my jaw, for a thirteen year old the kid had quite a punch. It wasn't broken but it was going to have a nasty bruise tomorrow.

Dick calmeaza-te! Nu crezi că exagerezi? Acest fapt nu este ceea ce pare! (Dick calm down! Don't you think you're overreacting? This really isn't what it looks like!)" the gibberish was pleading and a little angry.

"What the hell kid?" I said glaring at the smaller of the two brunettes in front of me.

"What exactly did I interrupt?" Dick fumed completely bypassing the glare.

"We weren't having sex if that's what you were implying," I reply bluntly. Neither of the brunettes were particularly comfortable with the direction of the conversation judging by the twin blushes on their faces.

"Then why are-"

"Dick please I was just staying the night and Roy and I were just wrestling nothing more I promise," Serenity said interrupting Dick tightening her arm softly around him.

"O…okay… but… then… sorry," the kid's last word was barely audible but I did hear it.

"Its fine kid," I reply as I get off the floor, "we both know I've had worse."

"I should probably go get some clothes on," Cee said as she took her arms away from her bother.

"Gee, you think?" Robin and I echoed at the same time.

Cee just muttered a laugh under her breath as she walked towards my bedroom.

"Roy I really am sor-"

"Dick its fine really, your freaky possessive of your older sister we already established this fact. You tried to kill me the last time I flirted with her so why would I sleep with her?" I questioned the bird.

"Good point," Dick replied bluntly, Batman may have trained him too well.

"You staying for breakfast kiddo?" Cee called from the bedroom.

"As long as Roy's not cooking," Dick called back to her flashing a taunting smirk at me as he did.

"Oh ha ha go ahead and mock my cooking skills, but be warned that I will bring up the short pants in every conversation and I'll tell Bruce about the time you got into a strip club—as one of the dancers," the blush on Dick cheeks made him look like someone had dumped a bucket of red paint on him.

"I… uh I… um…" Dick stuttered, enforcing the point of his blush, "you were there too."

"Yeah but I was the bouncer, and I was seventeen; you on the other hand were twelve and you were also cross-dressing in Tokyo in front of the ambassador, while going against Batman's orders to not get involved with the mission."

"He's got you pinned there bro," Serenity said as she entered the room dressed in her usual civvies; faded blue half-bell bottoms, a sleeveless red top, a black coat unzipped, and black sunglasses.

"Hey I forgot to ask how's the arm?" I ask the onyx hair.

"Just fine thanks accelerated healing and all that," Cee replied as she made her way to the fridge.

"Your arm?" Rob said looking at his sister obviously confused.

"Yeah I scrapped it up a little last night, but its all good now not even a scar," Cee replied.

"Hum," Dick said worry in his voice, "if you say so, Cee.

"I promise I'm fine, now what do you guys want for breakfast?"

"Pancakes!" Dick said sounding like a little kid.

"I think Bruce and Alfred spoiled you a little too much kid," I said as Cee started digging around in the cupboards for the pancake mix.

"With chocolate chips!" Dick continued completely ignoring me, but pointedly keeping up the high pitch just to bug me.

"Oh nock of the scowl Speedy, your face is going to sick that way," Cee said as she returned to her rummaging in hopes to find chocolate chips.

"Thanks Mom," I said the sarcasm so thick you could cut it with a knife.

"Stop complaining or you don't get breakfast," Cee joked back with an invisible roll of her eyes.

A cackle echoed from behind me at her retort and I just continued my scowling. As stereotypical as it was I actually couldn't cook, then Cee found out I had been living off Eggos and she started cooking for me and banned Eggos from my relatively crappy apartment. Cee started humming an unidentifiable tune as she cooked the pancakes; I guess it comes from the circus background, but both of the brunettes had the ability to bounce back with an amazing swiftness.

After a few minutes I got bored and killed the scowl, annoying fact about Graysons all forms of glares/scowls don't have any effect on them; Dick for obvious reasons, and Cee gives Bats a run for his money. An annoyingly familiar giggle sounded from behind me, what did Dick find so funny this time? Cee chuckled after a minute chorusing with her brother for a minute.

"What?" I asked finally fed up.

"Dude, you're still in your boxers," Dick said between giggles.

"I'm gonna go change," I grumbled heading off to my room.

"Breakfast will be ready when you come back," Cee informed me as I left.

"Why do I even let them into my house?" I grumbled as I entered my room.

~This is a page break~

"So I guess Spe-Red Arrow's solo act didn't last long," Wally said to the rest of the team, save Robin, that were gathered in the living room of Mount Justice.

"Wally we don't know the situation, he simply said that the girl was an 'old friend' so she in not necessarily his partner," Kaldur said to the fuming Wally.

"He let her call him Speedy, who does she think she is?" Wally said as he paced around the room.

"Um Wally why are you so mad about this?" Megan asked from her seat on the couch near Conner.

"She seemed pretty helpful to me, she did fix my arm," Conner said in his usual monotone.

"Helpful?" Wally exploded, "she is… she's… who is she?" Wally deflated flopping on to the other couch.

"Maybe if we ask Red Arrow he would tell us who she is?" Megan said sweetly.

"Yeah he'd actually tell us anything, that'll be the day. Don't you have anything to say on this?" Wally asked annoyed to Artemis, who was sitting on the floor watching the conversation.

Artemis just glared at the redhead, Red Arrow knew about her shady past and she wasn't about to give him the invitation to spill her secrets by trying to figure out his. Wally returned the glare for a while before he gave up with a groan.

"If only Rob were here, he could do a Bat-search on her and we'd kknow everything about her."

"Wally I do not believe that is the answer to this, both she and Red Arrow deserve their privacy; besides I doubt that we will run into her again, we are a covert team after all," Kaldur said, ever the voice of reason.

"And if she a person of interest I'm sure the League would have warned us about her," Megan said in her sugar sweet voice.

~This is a page break~

"This is serious Bruce, she ran into the kids! She could have killed them; she certainly has the tract record for it," Barry shouted in the Watchtower's conference room that currently housed Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Green Arrow, and Aquaman.

"I know, we should have stopped the mission sooner," the Dark Knight agreed.

"What I want to know is how she's an 'old friend' of Roy's," Ollie said.

"Good point, according to League databases she's responsible for more than fifty homicides transitioning across the world," Diana replied.

"We should suspend the team, at least until we know her motives, not to mention the boy's motive," Aquaman said. Bruce ordered the computer to pull up two files, pulling two pictures up to the front screen as well. The picture on the left held Cee in her costume, and the one on the right held Alex in his shirtless attire.

"We can't suspend the team; this is a League priority and the League needs to deal with it," Bruce said, "no matter the motives of these two."

"Are we sure that these two work together?" J'onn asked.

"J'onn is right maybe she's like you," Diana said, after a glare from Batman she continued, "all of Gotham feared you at first, so she just might be a hero in the shadows."

"Maybe, but whatever the case she had questions to answer," Bruce said glaring at the screen for all it was worth.

And now the chapter's finished! Wohooo This was really hard to write and I hope that it semi-made up for the two month wait for the new chapter, I feel as cruel as the YJ producers ;P I have a surprise: in the next chapter I have a new OC and she's a love interest for Kaldur 'cause I feel so bad for him after his girl was stolen from him.

Garth: Yeah burn!

Me: What the hell are you doing here?

Alice: I thought I wasn't supposed to be here until chapter 10?

Me: Gahh get back in my head you're not supposed to be here! Look what you made me do Garth, now people know what the character's name is! *pulls out long and pointy knife*

Garth: Should I run?

Me: Oh yeah.
