Chapter 14
Star City was beautiful at the start of September, and today was occupied by a secret that Reiena didn't want her brother to find out about. The small church was decorated, and Arsenal, along with Ollie and Dinah were there waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Sure Arsenal wasn't really a team player, but he was asked by Red Arrow to be here as even though Red was a clone of Arsenal...he still wanted his 'brother' there. Just as they were ready, the doors opened, and a strawberry blonde came walking in.
"Hey, Serenity, I'm sure Red will be happy that you're here," Ollie said as he gave the thousand year old sorceress a hug.
"Well, Reiena needed SOMEONE on her side for today, and Dick will never know."
"Are you sure you aren't Bruce's kid?" Ollie asked.
Serenity's face scrunched up in revulsion.
Green Arrow laughed.
Just then, the music started and Red Arrow came walking out of a side door and up to the
alter at the front of the church.
"Look who rolled out of bed," Arsenal joked.
"Ha ha," came Roy's response.
Serenity sat on the opposite side of pews from Ollie, Dinah and Arsenal and the doors opened to revealed Reiena standing there in a beautiful yet simple dress. She came down the aisle and stood beside Roy.
A preacher then came up to the alter and was smiling.
"I have known this young man before me for a long time, and I am glad to see that he has found a wife. William Roy Harper Jr.; Do you take Reiena to be your wife?"
"I do," Roy said as he saw Reiena eyeing him.
"Reiena Karla Grayson, do you take William to be your husband?"
"Yes, I do," Reiena said as she smiled at Roy.
"I know this is a short ceremony, but by the power vested in my by the state of Washington and God; I now pronounce you two husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Roy took Reiena fast into his arms and kissed her with such passion that the pair almost forgot they were in a church.
The preacher took his leave so the six inhabitants of the church could talk alone.
"Please, make sure Dick NEVER finds out. He'd not only want to kill Roy, but me as well for doing this in secret."
"Why did you two decide to get married on the spur of the moment?" Ollie asked.
"Just felt right," Roy said, not wanting to reveal the REAL reason the two decided to get married.
"Well, Ollie and I have to get going, it's the anniversary of our first date, and he PROMISED to take me somewhere special," Dinah said, and with that, the two older heroes left out. Arsenal just nodded to the newlyweds and left out as well.
"Artemis has a feeling about this, but since Roy's legally divorced from Jade, there's no threat of either of them coming after you. I can't believe you got married just a month before Dick and me," Serenity remarked, as the sorceress and acrobat had been secretly planning their own wedding.
"What?"
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you honey," Reiena said to Roy.
"Dang, so did you want to get married before Dick, or was it really a spur of the moment thing?" Roy asked.
"It really was a spur of the moment thing. But if he or even the others on the team find out about this, we'll not only get beaten to death by Dick, but the others will kill us with their own powers," Reiena remarked; a smile on her face.
"I may not be your sister in law YET; but I had to be here for your big day," Serenity stated. "So where are you going to honeymoon?"
"Don't know."
Serenity grinned. "I know a spot."
"Hm..."
"Where is this spot?" Reiena asked, as Roy couldn't say more than hm...
"There's my parents' castle on the very edge of northern Ireland's tip. I got it ready just in case. You two can use it. Don't worry; it's protected in so many ways," Serenity chuckled at the last remark.
"Ser..." Reiena warned.
"If you two want to start a family, go ahead; my parents used it to conceive all of us kids."
"Hm..." Roy had ideas going on in his head.
"I don't think I want kids just yet but...I won't say no to it," Reiena said to ease Roy's feelings.
"I agree," he said, shocking her. "But there's no outhouse, right?" he asked.
Serenity laughed. "It's modernized...and energy efficient."
"Let's go!" Reiena looked gratefully at Serenity.
"Have fun. Call me when you're done." Serenity summoned a portal to take them there. "And behave!"
"Who…us?" Roy said mischievously.
"I'll make him behave or I'll divorce him faster than Wally can run."
Roy looked nervous.
Reiena kissed him, showing him that she was just messing around. "You know I'm kidding," he said as she released the kiss
"Get going before Dick shows up! I'll see you in a month."
The two quickly hugged Serenity; then they headed into the portal to start their honeymoon.
Two Weeks after Reiena's wedding
Dick and Serenity were out patrolling Blüdhaven when suddenly a thought entered the acrobat's mind. "Ser, have you seen Reiena lately?" Nightwing asked.
"Nope," she said easily.
"Ser..." Nightwing remarked.
"She said something about going to Camelot."
"Why?"
"You two just found out a while back that you were King Arthur's descendants, I guess she just wanted to get a feel for the old ruins."
"Oh...I wish she'd invite me..." he pouted.
"Well...I can tell you all about it..."
"Alright, how about after patrol...when we're alone."
"You want that tour? Ok..." Serenity walked ahead, making sure his eyes were on her backside.
"Damn it." Dick said under his breath.
"I heard that."
"How the hell do you hear it EVERY time I say that?"
"I just can." Serenity wasn't going to reveal that she had very good hearing due to her wind magic.
"Alright, I'll buy that, but let's get this over with quick."
Serenity giggled in agreement. She had to help Reiena and Roy out. Keeping Dick distracted wasn't as much of a chore as she pretended it was.
