Chapter 12: Training

Star City

June 10th 10:00EDT

"You're late." Arsenal snapped.

"Sorry, I got held up." Green Arrow apologized.

"Canary is not an excuse for you being late." Arsenal grinned as Ollie went flush red.

"W-what, who said anything about Canary?"

"Everybody, now come on lets train a little, get something to eat then we can go on patrol right?" Arsenal smiled.

"Yeah, just take it easy though, I want you to remember you aren't the same old Speed-Roy anymore, and you only have one arm." Green Arrow reminded Arsenal who just smiled and nodded.

"I kind of have a confession to make." Arsenal grinned meekly. "You know how I didn't want to wear that arm you bought for me?"

"Yeah, so we gave it away to somebody else who could put good use to it, instead of the dust in your closet?" GA chuckled.

"I sort of didn't want it because I had a different one I've been using."

"What?"

"Another bionic arm…it was sort of better than the one you gave me, so I preferred that one over the one you got me." Arsenal reached for the backpack on his back and pulled out the bionic arm.

"Roy, where did you get that?" Ollie stared at the arm; it was so realistic that he was surprised it didn't move.

"Just an old friend."

Royal Memorial Hospital

March 25th 21:00 EDT

"Goodnight Roy, we'll be back tomorrow morning." Ollie shut the hospital door as he and Red left.

"Right..." Roy growled. He had finally come to speaking terms with Ollie, but he still wasn't comfortable with him completely. He was still pretty mad that Ollie had never once figured out that the Roy he had been working with wasn't the real one, he should have known.

"It's time for some pay back." Roy climbed out of the bed and escaped the hospital with ease. He made it back to the one place he assumed to have remained the same since he had been gone. Sure enough it was, and not to mention the password still hadn't changed at all. Once he was in the secret room stashed with weapons that Ollie had collected over the years, he was suited up and armed. He was headed for some payback.

!~*~*~!

"Look kid, don't do this, you just got free, you can't possibly want death just yet." Lex held his hands high in the 'I give up' position.

"Who says I don't want to do this? I want payback! You cut off my arm for crying out loud! I won't rest until we're even! Just like they say; an eye for an eye." Roy hissed.

"Yes, but take my arm and your dead." Lex grinned as a bunch of red spots appeared on Roy's body and men came out surrounding them, weapons at the ready.

"As long as I get even, I don't care what you do to me." He growled.

"Well then, how about a trade? I'll make things even for us." Lex set a suitcase on the ground and kicked it to him. "Open it up boy, I'm sure it'll make everything even for us." Roy stared at him unsure, but finally picked up the case and popped it open, eyes going wide. Inside was a realistic bionic arm. "It'll do everything your old hand could, but it's stronger, durable and won't cause you pain."

Roy looked up at him and nodded.

"Just keep it a secret from dear old Arrow, and we'll be even." Roy nodded and with that left. He headed back to the hospital, having dropped everything off back at the secret hide out, once back in the hospital he laid there waiting for Ollie to come and visit.

"Roy, how did you sleep?" Ollie asked as he walked through the room door.

"Great." Roy smiled.

"Well I'm sure you'll be glad to hear this, you're free to head home now." Roy grinned and nodded. "Come on, I'll take you for some ice cream first if you want." Roy chuckled but nodded.

"That sounds fine, but I want you to know that I want to start up in the business again." Ollie's smile faltered but he nodded.

"That's fine, I was hoping you would want to start up again, I got you a little present anyways." Ollie pulled out a plain red bag that he handed off to Roy who smiled nicely and grabbed the bag expecting to see his old outfit or something cheesy in it. But he got the shock of his life when he spotted the case with the word Bionics on it.
Ollie what is this?" he whispered softly as his hands slowly drifted to the two locks on the front of the case. Ollie just smiled, and with a soft click the lid flew open to reveal an arm, the same size as his own, but Roy stared in horror, remembering his own bionic arm hidden away safely.

"Do you like it?" Ollie smiled down at the original of the boy had had grown to think of as a son over the years.

"I suppose I could…Ollie you didn't have to." Roy shut the case and dropped it in the bag.

"Oh but I wanted to, I thought it might make you feel better, though you won't be able to wear it when we go on patrol, it isn't one made for serious action, just small ones, it's removable with ease, so we won't have to take long in removing it." Ollie went on and on, when his rant finally ended Roy looked up at him, thinking, perhaps he could grow to like this man a lot again, and forget that he had been locked away for so many years. "Welcome back Speedy." Roy's smile faltered at the name he was called, the one he had grown to hate since he had woken up and been told what happened.

"Not speedy, I want to be my own hero."

"Just like Red." Ollie sighed but nodded, "That's a good idea, you're old enough to be your own hero."

"I want to be known as Arsenal."

Star City

June 20th 21:00EDT

"You don't want to use your bionic arm tonight?" Green Arrow asked again.

"Correct." Arsenal smiled and jumped to the next roof, still faster than Green Arrow, the ability that had gained him his alter ego name in the first place. They remained in an awkward silence for just a few minutes before Green Arrow coughed and pointed to a van behind Starling Bank and some men getting out of the back door, the alarms not blaring for some reason.

"Let me have a go first?" Green nodded in approval and Roy back flipped to the ground next to the men.

"What the-"

"Didn't your mom teach you that stealing is bad?" Roy chuckled. "Cause if she didn't I will." The two men glanced at each other and burst out laughing.

"You and one arm?" the man laughed. "I don't think so pretty boy." Roy shook his head.

"That wasn't the right thing to call me." With his only hand, but gloved in black, he aimed his fist at the men then a little arrow flew out of the top of the glove and pricked the man's neck. The other man ran at him, his fist pulled back, ready for a blow to Arsenals face, but it never arrived. Arsenal blocked then kneed the man in the chest, and brought his elbow down on his head, sending him to the ground. The van turned on and was soon pulling out.

"I got these two, you go after him." Green Arrow shouted as he hit the ground. Arsenal nodded and pulled out a claw gun and began to chase behind the van. He shot at the van and once the claw had a good grip it pulled him to the roof of the van. He climbed to the top and pulled out a heat laser, cutting a circle in the roof he jumped in, stumbling in the uneven piles of money. The driver looked surprised but pulled a pistol on Arsenal. He dodged the bullet and jumped to the front punching the man. He grabbed hold of the steering wheel and brought the van to a stop. He pulled the man out of the van and the cops had already shown up.

"Put your hands where we can see them!" one cop shouted, his gun pointed right at Arsenal.

"Gosh, that's how you thank the hero? Man things have changed since I last did the hero gig." He chuckled. The cop lowered his gun and saw the unconscious man beside him.

"Dude that's Red Arrow, Green Arrow's side kick." The other cop scolded the first cop. Roy's expression went sour but he didn't say much. Soon a crowd had formed, and a reporter was already there.

"This is Lisa Dare at the scene of the crime, where Red Arrow has just stopped a robbery in progress, which brings up the question, where is Green Arrow? And when did Red start the hero gig again?" the microphone was pulled from the woman's hands by Arsenal who stood in front of the camera. A grin forming on his lips as his speech began to formulate slowly in his head, but fast enough for his mind to keep up with his speech as he let the words drip from his mouth first with venom

"First off, I'm no one's sidekick. Second off, I'm not Red Arrow, I'm the original Speedy, and my new alter ego is called Arsenal. You all have been praising the wrong Speedy, and for that, I shouldn't bother, but since none of you knew the real me, I shouldn't blame you, and I won't. But remember this, I'm not Red, I'm not a sidekick! I'm my own hero, I'm Arsenal."

!~*~*~!

Mount Justice

June 20th 21:45EDT

"Nice to know, Roy is back in the hero gig." Nightwing laughed, as Roy finished his rant on TV.

"He seems a little cocky to me, if you ask me." Megan stated. She had finally gotten around to walking, and not to mention Lagan never left her side. Conner, was barely ever seen at Mount Justice anymore, he always seemed to be going out somewhere, and somehow it troubled Megan.

"So…where is everybody?" Megan asked. Nightwing turned to glance at the green skinned Martian, it was odd to see her without Lagan now a day's, but Lagan had been called to Atlantis just a few hours ago.

"Gar went with Bart, Jaime and Cassie to the ice cream shop. Robin and Batgirl went to the batcave to clean up before Batman came back, Bee and Mal went on a date for the first time in months, Starfire is up in her room, Tula's still in Atlantis, she's catching up with Tempest and Conner went out, said something about going out with an old friend, and being back late or something." Nightwing shrugged and went back to his show.

"Um, an old friend…Did he say who?" Megan asked, Nightwing just shook his head. "Do you think it's a girl? I might know her right?"

"If you're so worried, why don't you just call him?" Nightwing tossed her the phone but she stared at it like it was a bomb. He glanced at her and chuckled. "Just call, it's not like he can toss you through a wall over the phone, besides he wouldn't do it in person, why would he by phone?" Megan shrugged and grabbed the phone before exiting the room. She dialed the phone and she could feel her heart thumping in her ears as it rang for the third time.

"Hello?" she nearly shrieked at the sound of his voice, she hadn't heard it in ages. "Hello?" he repeated.

"C-conner?" she stuttered.

"Yeah, who is this?" he asked. Great, he didn't even recognize her voice… boy was this a mistake.

"It's um…Megan." She whispered.

"Oh. Uh hi." He mentally facepalmed for not having recognized her voice.

"Hi, um I was wondering, well I mean, I wasn't wondering but um Gar was wondering where you went?" she felt her face flush ten shades of red before settling on the deepest shade of scarlet possible.

"Gar was wondering that?" Conner asked unconvinced, a hint of a grin in his voice.

"Well yeah, you know how curious he is." She laughed nervously.

"Funny, cause he asked me that right before I left." She could feel the winning grin on Conner's face.

"Well what did you say?"

"Admit it, you wanted to know where I went."

"What?! No! Why would I care?" she snapped at him.

"I'm sure you would care a lot if I told you I was on a date with Wendy at the movies, waiting in lines to buy tickets." Megan felt her eyes sting a little, why did she really care?

"You're a jerk Conner!" she pressed the end button before he could respond and dropped the phone. "I hate you Conner Kent." She growled under her breath. Wendy? Their old friend? Her old friend? He was on a date with Wendy at the movies? But he never offered to take her to the movies, why would he offer to take Wendy to the movies? Well, maybe she could do something about this.

"Megan?" she turned quickly to see Gar standing there. "I brought you some ice cream back from the shop." He held out the cone with chocolate, coated in sprinkles. She couldn't help the smile that climbed to her lips.

"Thanks Gar." She took the cone and kissed the top of his head. "I'm going out for a few."

"But sis, you can't, you aren't supposed to leave the cave." Gar chased after her.

"It's only for a quick trip to the-uh- store." She smiled. He frowned but nodded.

"Don't be long though sis or I'll go out looking for you, and you know I will." He smiled. She nodded and left quickly. Once she was in town she headed to the theater and asked the ticket booth man if he had seen them, once he confirmed that they had been there, she bought a ticket for the same movie. A chick flick, something that Conner never let her take him to. He hated chick flicks because they were so romantic and there was barely ever any action in them.

She walked in and spotted them sitting in the lane for two people only. She could feel her insides twisting in jealousy, everything he never did with her, he was doing with Wendy! And she hated it.

She quickly took a seat three rows behind them. She spotted somebody put their popcorn on the ground and her eyes glowed bright red as she moved the popcorn above Wendy and dropped them. Megan quickly morphed her appearance to that of a nine year old girl and she laughed, catching the attention of Conner and Wendy. Wendy shrugged and sat back down, all throughout the movie, Megan kept pulling little things like that.

When Wendy dropped her head to Conner's shoulder and his arm rested around her, Megan lost it, she walked over and began to talk to Conner, she asked for an autograph and Conner shrugged giving it to her, and pushing Wendy off in the process. Megan sat back down and once she looked up, she felt her heart drop when she saw them kiss. She stood up and shifted back into herself. Conner turned and spotted her running, he got up, running after her, Wendy following as well.

"Megan!" he shouted, catching her arm and spinning her around to look at him. "Was that you who kept doing all of that stuff in there?"

"So what if it was." She snapped.

"Why would you do that? I left you and Lagan alone, why can't you leave me alone?" he snapped.

"It makes me mad that you're treating her so well! You're bringing her to the movies, a chick flick, two row lane! Everything you never did with me." Megan tried to push him off but she stopped when she saw Wendy laughing behind Conner. "What's so funny? You trader! I thought you were my friend!"

"Megan, chill. I'm not on a date with Conner." Megan stopped struggling and looked dumbstruck. "Conner agreed to help me make my ex jealous, but I guess we did a better job at making you jealous." Megan blushed in embarrassment. "Look if you two still like each other why don't you date again?" Conner pushed Megan backwards and stared her down.

"I don't want her back."

"Good cause I didn't want you back either!" Megan turned to storm off but was stopped by Wendy's next statement.

"Why did you pretend to forget Conner's birthday this year?" Megan turned to look at her but sneered.

"Who said I was pretending?"

Rough. I know, Megan is way out of character, she wouldn't have been so mean at the end and tried to ruin Conner's 'date' but I wanted to add some kind of drama to this just for you guys! d:
