It seemed like it was time that the tide started to turn against the parents/mentors. Lian gets to be first because, let's face it, she was the most traumatized.

STAR CITY

ARROW CAVE

WEAPONS LOCKER

Jade walked into the weapons locker to find her husband arming himself with more equipment than usual.

"There you are. I've been looking all over for you." She ran her hands seductively over his uniform. "You know I love you in this but it wasn't quite what I had in mind for our date tonight."

"I have to go to Gotham." Roy told her through gritted teeth.

"Gotham, you have to go to Gotham?" Jade looked confused. "There can't possibly be anything that big going on that it requires more boots on the ground than they already have. If it was a male testosterone thing Ollie would be right here with you getting ready which he isn't so what's going on?"

"Should let Ollie know, he can help." Roy muttered.

"Help with what, Roy? What is the big emergency in Gotham that is making you cancel one of the few nights we get to ourselves?" Jade demanded.

"I'm going to kill the little Demon once and for all." He spat.

"Let me get this straight. You're going to go to Gotham, kill the Demon whom I'm assuming is Damian, after you track him down of course, and hope you make it out of there without any of the Batfamily being the wiser." Jade spoke in the patient tone of a parent humouring a small child, a small smile on her lips.

"This isn't funny!" Roy glared at her. "You didn't see what I saw him do to Lian on the security tapes!"

All the blood drained out of Jade's face. She gripped Roy's arm tightly. "What did he do to her? What did he do to our baby?"

"It was awful." He hung his head and his voice was quiet. "He had her pressed up against the wall. His hands were, were under her shirt. He was kissing her so she couldn't scream. She was clawing at his back."

"I bet she was." Jade's voice had a slight quaver. Roy looked at his wife expecting to see tears. Jade was certainly shaking but not from restraining tears.

"Are you laughing?" Roy was shocked at Jade's response.

"This whole scenario that you described doesn't sound at all familiar to you?" Jade responded. "Like last week when you had me pinned to the wall familiar?"

"It is not the same!" Roy was horrified.

"Oh, I'm afraid it is." Jade was clearly amused. "Daddy's Little Girl is all grown up."

"She wouldn't!" Roy was desperately grasping at straws. "She's too young."

"She's nineteen, Roy." Jade was getting exasperated. "You didn't honestly think she was going to stay a virgin forever." Jade watched the guilty expression on Roy's face and rolled her eyes. "Honestly, men. If all the girls didn't grow up to have sex who would you boys grow up to have sex with?"

"Fine!" Roy sulked. "It doesn't have to be all the girls just mine."

"Well cheer up, word on the street is that those Batkids are really, really good at what they do." Jade smirked at him.

"Jade!"
