Chapter 21
To say that Brodie was mad was the understatement of the year. She was pissed. She was enjoying a her date with Roy when she got a call saying that she and Roy were needed at MT. Justice. Brodie knew something was wrong when Roy was asked to come along.
When the two red heads arrived at the base they were greeted to the sight the team covered who knew what and Robin getting his shoulder bandaged.
"What the heck happened to you guys?" Brodie asked as she helped her uncle clean and bandage Kaldur's arm.
"Your friends and teammates decided to go after Ravager with you and without informing the League." Flash told his niece.
"WHAT!" Brodie yelled so loud that it would have given Black Canary a run for her money.
"Brodie, please try to understand that he had to be taken down before he hurt someone else. In fact during out fight he assaulted M'gann and Artemis. He is evil to the point that he has no concentration in what he does." Robin told his best friend who was glaring at him.
"So you think that going after him alone was the best choice?" Brodie asked with her arms over her chest. "Do you have any idea how I feel knowing that everyone's injuries are the result of me?" Brodie told her friends as tears came to her eyes. She didn't the fact that her friends had gotten hurt because of her.
Everyone had the decency to look ashamed. They truly hadn't taken in to consideration how Brodie would feel if they had come back injured or even dead.
Brodie wasn't done yelling as she turned her anger to her boyfriend who she knew had something to do with the attack on Ravager.
"As for you Roy were you ever going to tell me about what Robin was planning on doing alone cause I know him and he would have taken Ravager on alone." Brodie asked Roy as her green eyes bore into the archer's very soul causing the archer to flinch.
"Roy wanted in on the mission but I told him that he needed to stay back just in case Ravager got around us and went after you." Robin pointed out trying to save his friend.
"So in other words he was babysitting me?" Brodie pointed out still glaring her her friends.
"No. He was making sure that your were safe in case we failed to stop Ravager. He need to pay for what he did to you." Robin told best friend.
"And did you think that he needed to pay at the cost of your life?"
For once Robin didn't have a comeback.
"Look guy I am glad that you guys care about me so much but I don't want you risking your lives for me at least not with out me getting a few hits in." Brodie said the last part with a smirk on her face.
The team knew just then that Brodie had forgiven them. Now it was time for them to discuss the fact that Roy was dating Brodie.
"So Flash told us when he was yelling at us that you and Roy were dating." Artemis said to Brodie with a smirk on her face.
Brodie let out groan and shot daggers at her uncle who looked like he wanted to be anywhere but where he was at.
"You told them that I was dating Roy? What were you thinking Uncle B? We wanted to keep our relationship a secret at least for the time being." Brodie said chewing out her uncle.
"Well at least they didn't find out the way I did with GA yelling at the top of his lungs when I was in the room that the two of you slept together causing me to almost kill him with my bare hands." Flash pointed out crossing his arms over his chest much like his niece did a few moments ago.
Brodie started to turn red at what her uncle had just said. She really didn't want to see the looks on her friends faces nor did she want to know what they were going to do to Roy.
"You two are sleeping together?" Robin said in a question like voice. There was a little bit of venom in his voice.
Roy let out a groan. This was not the way he wanted the team to find out that he was dating Brodie. Leave it to Flash to get revenge on him.
"Yes Robin I am dating Roy and not that it is any of your business if I am sleeping with Roy." Brodie told her best friend who's jaw dropped to the floor along with everyone's elses jaw.
"Brodie, please forgive me on this question but why would you do something that would remind you of your attack which was only a few short months ago?" Kaldur asked concern for his friend.
Brodie gave Kaldur a smile before speaking. "Because Roy never treated me any different. He acted like nothing bad had happened to me and that was what I was looking for. I'm not saying that the way that everyone else has been treating me was the wrong way but there was just something about the way Roy treated me." Brodie explained to her friends who looked like they were about to kill Roy.
Perhaps it would be best if we talked about this situation tomorrow when everyone is rested." Flash said as he headed for the Zeta Tubes with Brodie by his side. The older speedster turned his head to look at Roy. "You hurt my niece in any way and I swear that you won't live to see the next day." And in a flash the two speedsters were gone.
Once the speedsters were gone Roy got hounded by his friends on just how he was going to treat Brodie.
"You had better treat Brodie right or so help me I'll shove one of pointy arrows where the sun doesn't shine and I sure everyone else can think of several ways to hunt you down and hurt you." Artemis told Roy as she got a evil gleam in her eyes.
It was the gleam that told the 18 year old archer that his blond companion meant business. He shuttered to think what the others would do to him if he ever hurt Brodie which was never going to happen.
"You have my word that I would never do anything to hurt Brodie and I would die for her if needed." The archer told his friends.
"Good because I know ways of making your life miserable and I am sure Flash does as well." Robin told his other best friend before he left with his mentor.
"Just remember that everyone had extra training tomorrow bright and early." Batman pointed out before he left the base with his sidekick.
"It was worth it all the way to take Ravager down. Now that he is in jail there is no way he could ever hurt another soul again." Kaldur told his friends as he headed for the Tubes to take him home.
Everyone else said good bye to each other and headed home.
Roy knew that everything would be alright now that his friends knew about him and Brodie. Also he knew that Brodie would be able to sleep better now that Ravager was in jail and could never hurt another soul again.
Roy also felt that for the first time since he was adopted by Ollie that his life was complete.
