Ollie read and re-read the letter several times that week, trying to see if it was a just a joke. He wasn't sorry about what he was doing with Artemis. He was only trying to wipe some thought out of his mind. Trying to figure himself out.

He'd watched Roy grow up from a boy to a man and every time he say him something clicked in the back of his head. His ward was legal. Oliver Queen was a sick man. He was sick for having sex with a sixteen year old. He was sick for falling in love with Roy Harper. He was sick for cheating on his girlfiend.

His mind was already going through so many emotions. Now this! Hal Jordan, his best friend, accusing him of raping Roy!

"I was here the whole time! I swear!"

"I don't believe you."

"I can prove it!"

"How could you do something like that?"

A hand went across his face and he staggered back.

"I saw the way you treated him when he was a kid! You were always hurting him! How could you do that to him?"

"Hal," Ollie pleaded. "I was always gone during the night and when I came home he was always crying. I never hurt him."

Except for that one night, Ollie thought. That one night when he hit Roy and accused him of lying. He felt terribly sorry for that and apologized the next day. But now...now was a different story. He was always working every night and rarely saw Roy. He left him in the care of his best friend, but after he lost his fortune and had to start over from scratch, he left Roy alone. At sixteen he was alone, by himself and on the streets.

Oliver was terribly sorry for that, but he knew that he would never hurt Roy. There had to be something to explain this.

"Can I come in?" Artemis asked outside the door.

"How did you find me?" Roy questioned, leading the blonde haired teen inside the apartment.

"Kaldur and Dick can track down just about anyone you can name," she explained.

Roy smiled, scratching the back of his head. He'd forgotten abou that. "So what do you need?"

"I wanted to talk to you. I...I'm really sorry Roy, please don't judge me but..."

Everything spilled out. About her relationship with Oliver. About his engagement to Dinah. About their break-up. When she stopped talking, her knees started to shake and she felt like she was going to be sick. "I'm sorry."

Roy helped her to the couch and sat beside her, rubbing circles in her back-it was something Ollie used to do for him when he was upset.

"Don't be," he replied smiling. "I understand. Look, you're not the only one with issues. I fell in love with him too. We both know he deserves someone like Dinah, but, I can't..." He took a long breath. "I still imagine what it would be like to be with him. At least you had a chance."

Artemis shook her head. Slowly-very slowly-she started to wrap her arms around Roy. He held her tightly; protectively. Almost like an older brother, he held and comforted her. He could tell she was broken. That's what Oliver did to people, even if he didn't mean to. He broke them to pieces. Roy was the only one that could hold together.

"You're really strong, you know that," he whispered to Artemis. "I've seen most women who went crazy after the first night."

"Thank you," she sniffed.

"He used to hurt me, you know," he added. "Almost every night before he went to work. Then you came along and he seemed...happier. So don't thank me. It's you I should be thanking."

Artemis snuggled closer to him. "I don't know what to tell Wally, now. After I left Ollie, he asked me out and...well we've been dating for a while now."

"He'll understand Artemis. He'll forgive you. And if he has anything to say about it, I'll be there for you, okay."

"Okay."

Roy sighed and smiled. "You know, you've helped me realize something."

With a frown, the blonde teen looked up at him. "What's that?"

"That there's someone out there that I need to go see. There's a billionaire that I need to apologize to. And maybe I can take him up on his offer."

So...here we go another chapter out and I'm just about ready to shoot myself. Bad things are gunna happen!

And the new season of Young Justice...well, I kinda wish it would have kept some of the old characters but I kinda like it. And where the hell is Roy? It just keeps you wondering! xD

Anywayz...I hope you liked it or whatever.

Review!
