Chapter 10
Red

Cody had fallen two stories below the banquette room before she saw someone jump over the ledge holding onto a rope. She was kind of shocked to see Red Arrow jumping down to catch her, seeing as the two hadn't been as friendly towards one another like how Robin and Cody had been. Even then, they weren't that friendly. They were more curious in the people behind them who were trying to kill the teenager.

It wasn't very long after she saw him that he reached her. He grabbed her waist and she wrapper her arms around his neck tightly. The rope ran out and they jerked to a stop, slightly bouncing. They finally stopped moving, but Cody didn't let up on her tight grip around him neck, not wanting to look down and see the people below and how high up they were. He kept one arm around her waist and the other on the rope.

"Hang on," he instructed.

"I wasn't planning on letting go," she said with a shaky voice. Her arms shaking from the adrenaline and her nerves.

"I have an idea," he told her.

"Congratulations," she muttered.

"Do you want to get back on solid ground or not?" he asked.

Cody sighed. "Yeah, sorry. Not used to hanging thirty stories in the air, okay?" Cody's voice was shaky. Her breathing was off. A shiver ran up her spine. She wasn't sure if it was completely because she was hanging off a building or that the guy was breathing down her neck. It was weird and a rather foreign feeling to her. She could feel the blood rush to her face. She couldn't tell if she liked it or not.

"I need you to hold on tight. I'm going to have to let go to break the window, then I'll swing you in," Red told her. "Got it?"

Cody just tightened her grip around his neck, silently answering his question. Red pulled out a simple, plain arrow and threw it at the window below them. They were hanging between two windows. They wouldn't have been able to break the one above them and pull themselves up, the bottom one was their only hope. The window shattered and glass fell on the floor of the level. Some glass did fall the other way, down to the ground, but the cops and firefights had the place blocked off so no one could get close.

Red swung them back and forth until he could toss the girl into the room. Cody landed on her bare feet, wedging glass into her bare skin. She groaned slightly, but shoved the pain aside and turned back to the older teenage boy still hanging onto the rope. For some reason, instead of swinging in, he looked up at the inclined window. He groaned in annoyance. Before he had the chance to swing over, Cody could hear the rope snap.

She guessed someone cut it.

Acting on instinct, Cody reached out the window and grabbed his arm. So she couldn't be pulled out by the guy who outweighed her, she grabbed onto the ridged, sharp side of the window and kept herself inside. She was pulled to her knees shoving glass into them as well. She grunted as the glass dug into her skin on her hand on the window, her knees and the glass that was already in her feet. She was going to have a lot of fun picking that all out of her feet after finding a way to walk out the window.

Cody pulled Red Arrow up and into the building. He untied the rope from around his waist and looked at the girl. He gave a small, "Thanks."

"Only repaying the favor," she said. She looked down at the floor. The whole floor was covered in glass. That was going to be fun to cross.

"Let's get out of here," Red said. Without much warning, Red picked her up bridal style and walked across the room to the door.

"What about them?" Cody asked referring to ninja up in her office.

"When I was up there, there was only one left. The others ran," Red Arrow explained. "Robin can take care of him."

Red Arrow carried the girl like she was nothing. She wasn't the heaviest person in the world, but she did have a lot of muscle on her for a small sixteen year old girl. Having to carry her wasn't even slowing him down. She looked up at him a little skeptically. He had to be hiding how heavy she was.

Red could see her staring at him from the corner of his eye. He moved his head to look at the girl and asked, "What?"

"You don't have to carry me," she explained. "I know I can't be the lightest person."

Red scoffed. "Yeah," he said. "You heavy? I'm insulted." He looked away and opened the stair well door with his back, seeing as his hands were occupied. "It's more like you need to eat one, two, maybe five cheeseburgers."

Cheeseburgers, Cody thought. "I don't think I like cheeseburgers," she muttered, trying to remember what the food tasted like. "I like hamburgers though."

Red gave a small laugh once more. "I tell you you're skinny and need to eat more, and all you get out of it is the food part," he huffed out. "You're a weird girl."

"You have no idea," Cody muttered.

Red looked down at her the rest of the way down to the first floor. Cody didn't really notice though. She was too busy staring at her hand that had been cut by the window when she used to as support to pull Red Arrow in. She could tell it didn't need stitches, but it was rather deep and could take a little while to heal. Considering all the thing she did with her hands, it would take even longer. The same when with her feet. She was going to have to keep them wrapped so she didn't get her shoes completely blood stained. It was going to be a pain to have to wait to continue training until her injuries were healed.

However, she healed abnormally fast. They saw that when her injuries healed within the first couple weeks after she had been attacked. Those injuries had been even worse than the ones she had then. Her feet and hand would be healed by the middle of the week, she calculated. It would be somewhere around there. She didn't know why she healed fast, but she didn't mind. The faster the better.

But was really bothering her was how weird her life and herself really were. Cody wasn't normal in any sense. She was the CEO of a billion dollar company and it was actually starting to do even better than it was before. Cody was a ninja. She could physically do what most people only thought was possible in movies or for superheroes. She didn't have parents. Her brother was missing. She had amnesia. And she had assassins out to kill her, ones she used to train with.

I used to train with them… If she used to train with them, then they used to have the same Master. If they had the same master, then he was the one who wanted her dead. Her teacher wanted her dead. The people who used to be her friends were trying to kill her! That was screwed up big time, even for the abnormal girl being carried by the superhero teenager.

And if she used to train with them, then couldn't she have been one of them? She'd be wearing all black, mask covering her face, stalking people. Watching their every move. Then she'd kill them. She'd kill them. How could she do that? At the moment, she couldn't see herself killing anyone. She didn't even try to kill Erik or the other two who had attacked her on Thursday. How could she have been one of them, an assassin in training?

But that was her now. Who had see been before she lost her memory and who she was then? Maybe she used to be heartless like Erik. Maybe she would have been able to kill someone, someone who had parents, a spouse, and children. Maybe it didn't bother her then. Maybe she had already killed…No, she'd remember that. Just thinking about that would have triggered a flashback. Cody had never killed anyone. She was thankful for that. But who was to say she wasn't ever going to kill anyone? That thought scared her most of all.

"Hey," Red said, causing the girl to look up at him. He could tell she was lost in thought and that it was something rather bothersome, from the distant and strange look on her face. Red didn't know what to say next. It wasn't like he was typically concerned about other people. This was new territory for him. "You're hiding something," he stated. Yeah, that sounded very concerned.

So, even though it was rather obvious she was keeping what part of her past she remembered, Cody looked up at him confused to try to hide it. "I don't know what you're talking about," she denied. "But I'm not that skinny, am I? I don't look like a twig do I?"

Red just rolled his eyes and dropped the subject. Even though Cody hadn't known Red very long, she could tell he wasn't one to just drop a subject like that. But he did and Cody couldn't care less. She didn't like having him pry into her life. It was her life, not his. It was her business who was trying to kill her, not his. Even if he was a superhero. Cody could take care of herself; she didn't need someone else to do it for her.

That was why she didn't completely like being carried by Red. She didn't like feeling needy or like some little girl who couldn't take care of herself. But she didn't completely hate it either. She liked that she didn't have to walk on her feet with the glass in them. It was also less work she had to do. It helped that Red was strong…and completely hot…but that was beside the point. She couldn't think of things like that now. She had to focus on why Erik, Master and the others she couldn't remember want to kill her. Cody sighed. That wasn't pleasant to think about.

"How are you feeling?" Red asked, drawing the girl's attention back to him again.

Cody thought for a moment. Her insides still burned and the slightest movement hurt terrible, her feet hurt, her hand hurt, her head her, her throat hurt. She was a mess, but she had been worse and she had been better. "I'm fine," she said. Truly, this wasn't the worst state she had even been in. No, she had been far worse.

"Liar," he muttered.

"I'm a liar?" she retorted as they exited the stair well and into the main lobby where several individuals stood together. Cody huffed. "You're the one calling yourself Red Arrow. Who are you really, Red?"

"Red?" he asked, rather annoyed by the shortened version of his name that she used. Cody could see he was annoyed by her retort and that he was just trying to cover it up. He didn't want to lose his temper on the girl who was the target. He was supposed to protect her, not help with the assassination.

Cody just shrugged. "It's easier than saying Red Arrow all the time. It's a mouth full."

"Cody!" Wendy yelled upon hearing the girl's voice. "Oh thank God you're alive!" She rushed over and was going to engulf her in a hug, but seeing as she was in someone's arms already and she was hurt, Wendy found it best not to.

Cody shook her head. "God had nothing to do with it," she said. "I had the antidote in my desk." Cody looked around the relatively empty main floor. "Where's Mark?" She was worried. Was he okay? Where was he?

"He is safe," a teenage boy replied.

His dark skin was at great contrast to his light blonde hair, but it seemed to work for him for some reason. His eyes were pale green, like Cody's, but her's seemed different all the same. He was strong built, which all of the male superheroes were. It was no shock there. He had high cheek bones. Running across his arms and what she could see of his back were eel like tattoos. His hands and feet were webbed and a set of gills could be seen on the sides of his neck. There was an "A" on his belt. She wished she knew what that meant.

"Thank you," Cody replied. "If anything happened to him because of me, I don't know what I'd do."

"Because of you?" asked Robin who had been one of the people standing there.

Cody's throat closed, making her clear her throat to be able to speak. "Why don't we take this into the conference room just down the hall? It's not very big, but it's big enough and private. We can talk there."

"I agree," Wendy said. "This isn't something to discuss out in the open."

"Please, lead the way," the man in all Green said. He had a arrows in a quiver on his back. Cody remembered Mark telling her who he was. Green Arrow.

All together there were five other teenagers besides Robin and Red Arrow. There were only three adults though. Cody recognized them to be Green Arrow, Batman and Black Canary. If Mark hadn't of told her who they were in the limo ride there that night, she wouldn't have had a clue and would have been rather confused to why people in strange outfits were there. As Wendy led them to the conference room, Cody could see that Black Canary had a first aid kit with her. It was rather large too. Good, it needed to be.

Once everyone was in the room, Cody was placed in the head chair where the CEO would normally sit. How appropriate. The superhero teenagers took seats while Batman and Green Arrow stood together with their arms crossed. Wendy sat next to Cody to her right. Black Canary walked up to Cody, placed the first aid kit on the table and opened it. She was going to start working on Cody, but she was stopped when the teenager grabbed her hand gently.

"May I?" she asked.

"Sure," Canary said a little hesitantly.

Cody took a set of tweezers out and started to pull out little pieces of glass out of left foot like it was nothing. Really, the pain in her feet was nothing compared to how her insides were feeling, but even then, if she didn't have the large pain masking the pain in the other locations, she would have done it in the same manor. She had practice doing it. Training to be a ninja wasn't easy. One of the things they had to learn was how to take care of their own injuries. This was just one of the many things Cody had to do before.

"We need an explanation," Batman demanded.

Cody looked up from her foot for a moment and to the man in all black. She could see Wendy from the corner of her eye watching her, not knowing what to say. Cody was going to be doing a lot of the talking, she could tell. "You're more straight forward than I've heard," she muttered to no one in particular. "And a little more intimidating." However, she wasn't afraid of the Bat. And even if she was, she wouldn't have shown it. That was part of her training too. She wasn't supposed to have emotions and even if she did, which was a fact, she wasn't supposed to let them show while working. Apparently, Erik wasn't very good at that.

It was strange; she could remember everything she learned in training. But she hadn't been able to remember who she had trained with until that night when she went against Erik. She knew her brother was a part of it, but that was about it. It was frustrating.

"What would you like me to explain first?" Cody asked, looking back to her foot and starting to work on it again like it was nothing. She didn't even have any pain medicine. A couple of the teenagers cringed as they watched her work.

"Who are you really?" Batman asked.

Cody sighed and stopped working for a moment. She knew that had been coming, but no matter how much she prepared herself; she still wasn't ready or comfortable answering that. She went back to work as she explained, "My name is Cody Conwell. Second child and only daughter of the late Casey and Carter Conwell. I'm also the real CEO of Conwell Enterprises."

"And you just forgot to give us that little bit of information?" Red asked rather annoyed toward Wendy.

"Oh calm down, Red. She was only following instructions," Cody replied. "In actuality, I didn't know about the threat until right before the party. I knew Wendy was in no trouble. She wasn't the target. I was all along."

"How did you know that though?" the boy in the yellow jump suit asked.

"There was an assassination attempt on my life on Thursday," Cody said casually. "I was shot at with multiple darts poisoned with enough curare to kill a fully grown elephant."

"How did you get away?" the blonde girl who was dressed like the Green Arrow.

"I ran?" she answered like it was obvious.

"You outran ninja?" Canary asked.

"Yeah," Cody said. She stopped her work and looked up at the teenagers. "Before we go any further into this, may I ask who you are?"

They all exchanged looks of confusion and shock. "You don't know who we are?" Yellow-suited boy asked.

"No," Cody replied.

"Really?" Blondie asked.

"Don't take it personal," Cody started to explain.

"She has amnesia," Batman finished for her.

"Yup," Cody said. "Woke up not even knowing my own name." She went back to work on her foot. "I was filled in briefly on who I was, who my parents were and who my brother was by Wendy who was friends with my parents as well as one of their employees. Apparently I've known her most of my life." Cody turned slightly to Wendy and said, "Sorry, still can't remember you ever being there."

"It's okay," Wendy said.

"Wendy told me my family history and what happened. That bit of information you don't need to know. Anyways, I moved down here to be closer to work, but to still go to school and live a somewhat normal teenage life." Cody looked up at the teenagers.

"You've already met Robin and Red Arrow. That's Miss Martian, Artemis, Superboy and Kid Flash. I am Aqualad," Aqualad answered.

Cody momentarily looked over to two of the teenagers. One was a green version of Megan and the other looked like Conner. Cody wasn't dumb. She could figure out that it was them. She wasn't going to say anything, but it was a little amusing to find out two of her friends were aliens. And the friends that Cody had met of Megan and Conner resembled Kid Flash and Artemis. She assumed they were Wally and Artemis…that was a dead giveaway.

"Well this just keeps getting better and better," Green Arrow muttered to Canary.

"Anything else?" Cody asked finishing up with her other foot. Both of her feet were wrapped. She just had to work on her hand. Before she could do so, however, the girl started to cough and a little more blood was caught on the back of her hand, which she used to cover her mouth. After she was done coughing, she whipped the blood off and started to work on her hand.

"We should get you to a hospital," Canary said.

"No!" Cody suddenly yelled. The people in the room stared at her rather shocked. "Uh, I don't do hospitals." She finished up with her hand and sat back. "Plus, I'm fine."

"You're coughing up blood," Kid Flash stated. "I don't consider that fine."

"It's a cause of the poisoning," she started to explain. "The antidote heals the damage done and gets the contaminated blood out of your system by coughing. Coravioranide isn't the most pleasant thing to be poisoned with, let me tell you." Cody shook her head and shivered slightly remembering the extreme pain. "I'd rather die fast and painless than with Coravioranide."

"And you just happened to have the antidote in your desk?" Artemis asked.

Cody shrugged. "I had a bad feeling about today. I packed some antidotes to some things after being attacked on Thursday. I couldn't be too safe."

"How did you get it?" Aqualad asked. "I have heard of this poison before. It was rather uncommon and the antidote is not a well known combination of plants."

"I made it," Cody answered.

"Do you know why they're after you?" Miss M asked.

Cody didn't answer right away. She thought about it for a moment. According to Erik, it was because Carson and Cody had run out on them. She couldn't remember that. Why did they run out? Maybe she knew she wasn't the type of person to be an assassin. She really couldn't see herself making money off of the blood of others. But she didn't really think that they needed to know she was training to be an assassin. It wasn't something she was proud of or wanted people knowing.

"No," she replied. Cody stood up and uncomfortably stood on her feet. She didn't let it show how much it was bothering her though. "May I leave now?"

"We still have questions to ask," Batman said.

"The girl's had a long day," Wendy spoke up. "She needs her rest to get better. Why don't you just contact her soon to finish questioning her? I'm sure you could afford to wait a little bit."

Green Arrow and Black Canary looked at the girl and then to Batman to see what he would say. Batman just examined the brown haired girl in the head chair. Cody didn't take her eyes away from his masked ones. She was wondering what exactly he was thinking. He was probably trying to figure out if she was trustworthy.

"I'll have surveillance outside your residence for precaution," Batman finally said. "We'll be in touch in a couple days once things die down."

Cody sighed. She was going to rest well that night…or so she thought. Things were racing through her mind. She wondered if her mind would die down enough so she could get at least a couple hours of sleep. She wouldn't have to worry about another attack that night. She'd have protection. Yet, they somehow managed to get passed them that night at the party. That was bothering her.

Maybe the rest of her night wasn't going to be so restful…
