A/N: This is just a fun little series of short one-shots I came up with to broaden the RWBY/DC world I created for my other works like Contract, Chaos, & Atlesian Uprising. I thought up how I could fit other DC characters into the world of Remnant and decided to write down the concepts to flesh out this crossover world.

Dinah Drake was one of the greatest Huntresses to come out of Shade Academy. She'd lived the rough life of Vacuo and smiled in the face of the harsh desert.

Her daughter, Dinah Lance, had never been officially trained or licensed to be a Huntress. But her mother did teach her everything she knew. Yearning for more, she then turned to one of her mother's former teammates, a champion cage fighter and Faunus named Ted Grant.

With the teachings of two master Hunters under her belt, Dinah struck out on her own and made a name for herself to rival even theirs. That name was The Black Canary. The moniker was given to highlight her inherited semblance, a sonic blast from her vocal chords dubbed the Canary Cry.

While her mother was a Grimm slayer of legend, Dinah took her fighting cues more from Ted Grant, or Wild Cat as he was known in his fighting circles. She entered the same circles and quickly climbed their ranks. She dominated both the women's and co-ed divisions.

Her career peaked when she fought for the Vacuo title against the long-reigning champion, Wild Cat himself. When the Canary won, the Cat officially retired, leaving the title of undisputed champion to his greatest student. The fight is still considered one of the most legendary events in Remnant sports history.

After defeating Wild Cat, Black Canary received opportunities to go international and secure Vacuo's place at the top of the rankings in the ring. She declined and opted for an early retirement.

While she continued to follow in Ted Grant's footsteps by opening a training dojo of her own and training new, up-and-coming fighters, Dinah also took a page from her mother and started using her combat skills to help others. Her mother did it by fighting Grimm. Dinah focused on the human element of Vacuoan hazards. The Black Canary became something of a hero to the lower classes of the Kingdom. Certain neighborhoods were entirely off-limits to crime thanks to The Canary's protection.

Dinah Lance was damn good at what she did, but the people of Vacuo are grown tough. They proved to be some of the hardest weeds to pull in Remnant. Things got a little easier, though, when Dinah found herself a partner, an Atlesian pretty boy named Oliver Queen.

He had the money and charm of Bruce Wayne, with a little less of the philanthropy and personal responsibility. He showed up in Vacuo, throwing lien to anyone who could teach him to fight. That led him to Ted Grant, who directed him to Dinah Lance.

She taught him to fight. When he proved how serious he was, she taught him how to really fight. When he asked for more, she entered him into the fighting rings. When he eventually championed those, she challenged him herself. It was the closest fight she'd ever lost. Like Wild Cat before her, she accepted loss with grace. No one ever knew it happened. They kept the night after the fight under wraps, too.

The two got closer, and Oliver revealed why he had come to Vacuo to begin with: a guilty conscience, a call to action, and enough money to do something about it. He wanted to help people, too. He was an Atlesian who wanted to protect Mantle.

Dinah introduced him to Vacuo's crime world to give him a taste. That's when he revealed his obsession with archery. The Green Arrow, he called himself. They made a good team.

When the time came for Oliver to return to Atlas, he tried to convince Dinah to come with him. Vacuo was her home. She chose to stay. Oliver left. News broke out of The Green Arrow appearing in Mantle.

After a few years, Atlas was filled with vigilantes, most of them based on bats or birds. Oliver was able to return to Vacuo, offering a rematch. They'd both improved over the years. But this time, Oliver was the one accepting the fair loss.

Every year since, they'd have an annual rematch. Dinah was currently up three to two.
