Batman was going over footage before patrol when he saw it. After the scare with the League not knowing if Roy was alive, he'd started checking the footage three times a day. He scoured the security footage until he found a confrontation between Green Arrow and the police. His jaw tightened. While he knew the Star City police weren't as bad as the Gotham police, he didn't approve of how they looked the other way when it came to Green Arrow when it benefited them. His eyes never left Speedy who, judging by his body language, wasn't happy about the confrontation. 'Not surprising, since Green Arrow has a tendency to injure police who get in his way.' Anger flared through him when Green Arrow suddenly grabbed his young partner and put an arrow to his neck. He needed to remind himself to breathe as he watched. Luckily, the cops let them go, although none of them moved to save the teenager from the grown man using him as a hostage. Batman quickly followed their movements as best he could, which wasn't easy once they started running. They stopped briefly then started running again. Batman followed their movements, trying to keep eyes on them. When they stopped again they were stopping a mugging. He waited for Green Arrow to kill the mugger mercilessly like he always did.
Instead what he got was Green Arrow stepping aside and Speedy raising his arrow. Batman leaned forward as Speedy hesitated. 'Good kid. Keep resisting. You don't need to kill.' Apparently, Green Arrow had other ideas because in the next moment he stopped feared and put his hands on Speedy's. Batman stood up, knocking his chair back when the arrow was shot. "No." The arrow didn't miss. It hit the mugger in the neck. "Robin!" Batman worked quickly, getting the video onto a flash drive. He put his com in his ear. "All Justice League members report the Watchtower."
"Batman, what's going on?" Superman asked.
"I'll explain later, just get there. Bring the kids."
"Why?" Flash asked.
"I'll explain later." He turned his comm off. "Robin!" He turned around, only to find Robin standing behind him.
"Yes?" Robin asked, quickly adjusting his cape.
"Let's go." Batman didn't wait for him as he walked to the Bat mobile. Robin followed with ease, flipping into his seat.
"What's going on? I thought we were patrolling tonight?" Gotham zoomed by at amazing speeds.
"Change of plans." He just barely took time to deploy the Bat mobile's cloaking device before he got out. Robin followed him through the zeta and they came out on the Watchtower.
"Batman, 02.
"Robin, B01."
"Robin, wait here," Batman said, not stopping to explain.
"But-"
"Stay!"
Robin stopped in his tracks and watched Batman practically run to the Justice League meeting room. "What-" Wonder Woman flew past him, Green Lantern hot on her heels. A second later Kid Flash stopped side him while Flash ran on.
"Hey, Rob!" Kid Flash said, obviously oblivious to the situation. "My Uncle's letting me stay up past my bedtime! How cool is that?!"
"Asterous, do you know what's going on?"
"Uh….no."
Aquaman hurried past while Aqualad approached his companions with calm. "Greetings," he said.
"Do you know what's going on?!" Robin demanded.
"Dude, not even a hello?" Kid Flash asked.
"Hello. Do you know what's going on?"
"I do not," Aqualad answered, un-wavered by the young bird's enthusiasm.
"Ugh!"
"Why are you so concerned?"
"Batman wouldn't cancel our patrol for just anything." He looked down the hall and narrowed his eyes. "Something's going on."
— —
In the Justice League meeting room, Batman didn't wait to sit before he put the video up. Superman was already there waiting for him. "Batman what-" he began, but Batman stopped him.
"Wait."
They waited two minutes before the rest of the Justice League had arrived. "Ok what-" He stopped when Batman played the video. Every member watched with baited breath. When the mugger died Batman stopped the video. "Oh my god."
"He- he-" Flash stammered, for once at a loss for words.
"Green Arrow forced him to shoot," Wonder Woman said.
Martian Manhunter nodded. "Indeed, Speedy was not in control."
"Try convincing him of that," Batman said.
"Batman, we have to intervene," Superman said. "Now."
"We need a vote."
"All in favor?" Seven hands went up in unison. "Do it."
Batman nodded and ran from the room. He ran to where he'd left Robin, hoping the boy hadn't left the spot. "Robin!"
Robin turned around. "Yes, Batman?"
"Take the closest zeta to star city that you can." He typed something into the boy's wrist computer. "This code will let you through. It's about a mile from Queen's home."
"Why-"
"Don't ask questions! Listen. You must bring Speedy back with you at all costs."
"But-"
"No buts. Bring Speedy back with you. Do whatever it takes to make him come with you. By any means necessary."
Robin nodded. "Ok." He ran to the zeta and quickly put in the code, then the was gone.
"Batman, what is happening?" Aqualad asked.
"Did something happen to Speedy?!" Kid Flash asked in concern.
"The League has decided that it is time to remove Speedy from Green Arrow's care," Batman replied evenly. "Both of you come with me."
Kid Flash gave Aqualad a look as they followed Batman to the meeting room. As soon as they walked in, Kid Flash ran to Flash's side. "Flash what's going on?" he asked.
"Everything's fine Kid," Flash assured him. "We're just….getting Speedy out of Star tonight."
"What're we going to do once he's here?" Green Lantern asked him. Everyone looked at him. "We can't just keep him on the Watchtower."
"He can stay with me." Flash wrapped an arm around Kid Flash. "Iris would be fine with it."
"Seems like an obvious choice," Wonder Woman agreed.
"That's the problem," Batman said. "It's too obvious. Flash is a well-liked member of the League. When Oliver goes looking for Roy, Central will probably be one of the first places he checks."
"Not to mention, you'll have to keep him hidden," Superman added.
"We could hide him from Oliver," Flash said.
"Not just from Oliver. He might be bad at it, but legally, he is Roy's guardian. It's technically kidnapping if he's found by the authorities. Whoever takes him would need to keep him hidden from everyone. Someone with recourse to properly take care of him without the outside world noticing. Someone with a lot of extra space." Batman didn't have to look to know Superman was looking at him.
"You want me to take him?" he asked. This seemed like a bad idea. He had next to no idea how to take care of a child in Roy's situation. Barry had far more experience in that area.
"Yes. You have the resources to take care of him without being noticed and you have Robin." Batman frowned. "He's probably the only person Roy trusts right now. I don't think it'd be a good idea to split them up." That was a valid point.
"Very well. Roy will come to Gotham with Robin and I." He stepped away from the others for a moment to radio the Bat Cave. "Agent A."
"Batman," Alfred replied.
"We are removing Speedy from Green Arrow's care tonight. He will be coming back with us."
"Very good sir."
It kind of surprised him that Alfred so readily accepted that Roy would be coming to live with them. Batman sighed and rejoined the others; hoping Robin was successful in bringing Speedy back with him.
— —
Robin stepped out and was surrounded by trees. 'Yeah Batman's been keeping a lot from me.' He looked back at the zeta, which was camouflaged to blend in nicely with the forest around it. He quickly brought up a map of the area. It was to find Oliver Queen's home on his map and he took off. He ran through the dark first with ease, launching himself over bushes without bothering to go around. Truthfully, Robin didn't know why Batman had suddenly decided to have him extract Roy now, but he also didn't care. The sooner they could get Roy away from Oliver the better. He didn't know what he would do or say to convince Roy to come, but as a last resort, he could just knock the teen unconscious. A wall came up in his way, but he didn't stop. Instead, he jumped up, launching himself into a tree. He climbed the tree with ease, up to the tallest and thinnest branches. Without missing a beat he kicked off the tree trunk and flipped over the wall with ease. He landed in a crouch, taking a moment to assess the situation. Confident that he hadn't been detected, he sprinted across the large yard. It wasn't as large as the yard at Wayne Manor, which he'd spent many hours sprinting across in his training. Oliver Queen's mansion soon came into view and Robin picked out Speedy's window easily.
He took out his grappling hook and shot it up at the building. With a single, graceful tug he pulled himself off the ground. He landed on Speedy's balcony and slid out his lock picks. Within seconds he had the window unlocked and slipped inside. "Speedy?" he whispered. It was dark in the room, so he turned on the lamp. Roy was sitting by the bedroom door. It seemed to take him a minute to realize Robin was there. When he realized it his body went rigidly still.
"R-Robin?" Roy asked in a shaky voice. "How do you know-"
"That's not important listen-"
"You shouldn't be here!" Roy stood up suddenly as Robin got near. He pushed the boy wonder back. "Get out of here!"
"I'm not leaving without you!"
"If Green Arrow finds you he'll kill you! I won't be able to protect you!"
"Oliver doesn't scare me! Roy, you have to come with me."
Roy froze and his eyes narrowed. "How do you know our names?"
Robin sighed. "Roy-"
"How do you know our names?"
"I- I've always known your names."
"You-"
"Batman knows everything."
"You knew who I was this whole time?!"
"Yes. Roy, please listen. You have to come with me."
Roy sighed sadly and stepped back. "I can't."
"Yes, you can. Batman can protect you from Oliver, I promise."
"No Robin, you don't understand-"
"I do!" Robin insisted; misunderstanding Speedy's words. He sighed, then remembered Batman had told him to do whatever it took. 'It's now or never.' He reached up and took off his mask.
Roy gasped. "Richard Grayson?"
Robin nodded. "Yeah."
"You're Robin?!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down or Oliver will hear us!"
"You're Robin. You met me as Speedy, but then met me as Roy-"
"Roy please-"
"You lied to me."
Robin sighed. "Roy-"
"You lied to me! I thought I could trust you but you- You lied to me."
"Roy please!"
"No! You kept all this from me and expect me to trust you?!"
"Roy I would never hurt you-"
"No, but you would lie and keep secrets. I thought you were my friend!"
"I am! Roy, I wanted to tell you! I swear I did! Batman said I couldn't!"
Roy crossed his arms. "Why now?"
"Honestly, I don't know. Roy, I get it. Oliver gave you a home when you needed it the most and he took care of you when no one else would. I really do get it. But you don't owe him anything! I know this is hard, but you have to come with me."
Roy shook his head. "I can't."
"You can. I promise Batman and the Justice League will protect you. They can keep Oliver away from you."
"Robin-"
"Roy, please. I know I lied and I'm sorry." He took a step closer. "You aren't safe here. Oliver won't stop hurting you."
Roy shifted uncomfortably. "You don't know that," he mumbled, not quite believing it himself.
"I do. I'm your friend. I need you to trust me."
"I do trust you, but-"
"No buts. You have to leave Roy. You can't stay."
Roy wanted to resist. Part of his brain as telling him to call for Oliver. The other part didn't want to face another beating. He looked at the young boy and saw the sincerity in his eyes. He let out a breath. "Ok."
"Really?"
Roy nodded. "Ok. Let's go."
Robin grinned and secured his mask to his face. "Let's go."
"Give me a second."
"You got it!" Roy went over to his bed and knelt down to reach underneath it. He pulled out his charred longbow and held it in his hand for a second. He saw it burning in the fireplace while pain set his body on fire. He stood up and found Robin was waiting for him.
"Ready?" Roy nodded. Robin grinned and turned on his comm. "Robin to Batman."
"Robin report," Batman said.
"I have Speedy and we're heading to the Watchtower." He turned his com off and ran to the window. Roy followed at a slower pace. As he passed his pillow he paused. He crushed his mask in his hand. Once he left there would be no turning back. He closed his eyes for a brief moment then nodded. Before he could lose his nerve, he set his mask down on his pillow, laying it out flat. "Roy?" Roy looked back at Robin, who was watching him from the window. "Ready?"
Roy took a deep breath and nodded. "Let's go." He followed Robin through the window and to his balcony. Robin showed him the grappling line and slid down. Roy swallowed, hooked his bow with his elbow, and grabbed the line. He slid down to the ground, landing next to Robin with a soft thump. He heart was pounding. Robin retrieved his grappling hook and grabbed Roy's hand. "Come on." The two of them sprinted across the lawn. Roy, heart pounded against his ribs with every step he took. He couldn't stop looking around, expecting Oliver to jump out of the shadows. He could perfectly see the man shooting Robin in the neck and dragging him back. Roy kept running, trying to outrun Oliver asking him what he'd said about trying to leave. Luckily they reached the wall and it snapped him back to reality.
"We're trapped."
"Hardly." Robin shot his grappling hook up at the tree. "Grab on."
"What?"
"Put your arms around me." Roy did so, wrapping his arms around Robin's shoulders. He was careful not to poke the boy with his bow. "Hold on." Robin retracted the line and jumped. Roy wasn't as heavy as Robin thought he would be. He pushed off the wall and used the momentum to propel them over. While Roy's weight wasn't as significant as he thought it would be, his height was. They cleared the wall, but Roy's feet grazed the top of it. An alarm blared and he let go of Robin in shock. This dropped him onto the ground. He looked back and paled.
"Oh no."
Robin landed beside him and grabbed his arm. Roy flinched back, jerking his arm away. "Roy-"
"We're dead. We're so dead, he's going to catch us!"
"Not if you keep moving. Come on." He pulled Roy to his feet and gripped his hand. "I've got you." He took off running, practically dragging Roy behind him.
"So dead, so dead, so dead."
"it'll be ok Roy." Going around the bushes was a lot harder than flipping over them, but it was necessary due to Roy. When he finally saw the zeta coming up he smiled in relief. "Finally." He stopped in front of it and quickly uncovered the control panel. He put in the code that Batman had given him. "Let's go."
Roy heisted. "I can't-"
"You can." Robin took his hand again. "You've come this far, you can keep going. I'm right here."
"Don't leave me."
"I won't. Promise."
Roy nodded held his longbow tighter. "Ok."
Robin led him through the zeta tube. Away from Star and away from Oliver.
— —
"Robin, B01.
"Authorized Guest."
Roy blinked then they stepped out of the glowing light. Robin led him forward gently, moving with a lot less haste than before. "Welcome to the Watchtower, official Headquarters of the Justice League." He led Roy towards the Justice League meeting room. Kid Flash and Aqualad weren't where he'd left them last. As if sensing Robin thought his name, Kid Flash suddenly zoomed around the corner and stopped right in front of them.
"Hey, Speedy!"
Roy took half a step back. Robin squeezed his hand reassuringly. "Easy KId."
"I know, Flash told me to keep it 'dialed down'." He even used finger quotes. "Whatever that means."
"I think it means," Aqualad said coming around the corner, "you should be calmer than your usual self." He smiled at Roy. "You must the archer called Speedy. I am Aqualad."
Roy took another step back. He nodded in greeting and got a nod in return. Robin turned to Aqualad. "Where's the League?"
"In the meeting room. They wanted to send out Kid Flash and myself first to….put Speedy more at ease before he meets the whole League."
Robin glanced back at his companion, who was pale and shaky. 'Yeah. Ease.' Roy calming down probably wasn't happening anytime soon. "We should take him to them."
Kid Flash grinned. "Right this way." He took off, apparently forgetting the rest of them didn't have super speed. Aqualad chuckled and followed. Robin tried to move, but Roy stayed still, keeping him in place. "Roy?"
"Robin, are you coming?"
"You go on ahead. We'll catch up." He faced Roy completely. "What's wrong?"
"I can't- I don't-"
"You don't have to be scared of the League. They just want to help."
"I just-"
"Hey, as long as I'm here nothing bad will happen."
"Promise?"
"Promise. Cross my heart." As if to emphasize he quickly drew an X over his R insignia. "Come on."
"Ok." Roy followed Robin slowly, but the boy didn't rush him. They made their way down the hall to the meeting room. As they approached a door, Roy considered trying to turn back, then realized he couldn't because of how Robin was holding his hand. Robin opened the door and led him through. On the other side, Roy found the Justice League waiting for him. He took them in quickly, then moved behind Robin. Kid Flash and Aqualad were each standing by who he assumed were Flash and Aquaman respectively. He quickly scanned each of their faces, looking for signs of anger or aggression. They stopped a few feet from the League. "Everyone, this is Speedy. Speedy, this is the Justice League." Not surprisingly, to Robin at least, it was Superman who moved first. He walked slowly towards the boys and knelt down. In his experience, when working with scared kids being at their eye level helped.
"Nice to meet you Speedy. I'm Superman." He held his hand out and Roy flinched back. Robin didn't miss the look of anger that flashed across Superman's face, or the way Flash pulled Kid Flash closer. Apparently Speedy noticed the first thing too because he let out a small whine and took a step back again.
"Back up Clark," Batman advised him.
"Give him space," Flash added.
Superman put his hand down and slowly back up, coming to stand again. Batman walked out to stand next to him. "Perhaps we should take him to the med bay and check him out." It was obvious Roy was too distraught to meet them all. Superman nodded.
"Good idea." He looked at the boys. "This way." He led the boys out of the room, while Batman brought up the rear. Roy could feel the presence of the Bat behind him and moved closer to Robin. Robin squeezed his hand again.
"It's ok," he whispered. "It's ok."
They reached the medbay and Superman led them into an empty room. "Roy, would you please sit on the table?"
Roy hopped onto the table without letting go of either Robin or his bow. He did, however, hide his bow behind his back once he was sitting. Batman looked at Robin. "Robin, you should wait outside." Roy made another distressed sound and terror flashed across his face.
"Maybe he should stay."
As much as Batman hated it, he knew Superman was right. Roy was liable to have a panic attack if they tried to separate him from Robin. As if to illustrate his point, Roy's panic dialed back down from an 11 to a 9 as Robin spoke softly to him. "Fine, he can stay. Check him for internal injuries. Just focus on anything life-threatening for now."
Superman nodded. "Roy, I'm going to scan you with my x-ray vision. It's not going to hurt, I promise." Roy gave Robin an uneasy look, but Robin nodded encouragingly. Superman did the scan quickly. "Three fractured ribs. Lots of bruising on ribs and arms. Recently dislocated left shoulder." He stopped and looked at Batman. "Nothing life endangering." To Roy at least. Life endangering to Oliver, now that remained to be seen.
"Good."
"Do you think we should look at his other injuries?"
"Not tonight."
"Batman," Robin said, getting his mentor's attention. "Is Roy staying here on the Watchtower?"
Batman shook his head. "No. He's coming home with us."
Robin beamed. "He's coming to Gotham?"
"Yes. I've already informed Agent A that he'll be coming."
"Hear that Roy? You get to come live with me!" Roy didn't respond, but Batman didn't miss the look of uncertainty that glanced his way.
"I'm taking them home," Batman said to Superman. "He needs rest."
Superman nodded. "Good idea." He smiled at Roy and moved to put his hand on the teen's shoulder, but Roy flinched back. "Glad you're finally with us Roy. Good luck," he added under his breath to Batman.
"Come on," Batman said to the boys. Roy grabbed his bow and let Robin help him down. He gently herded them out of the Med Bay and towards the zeta tube. Robin noticed they didn't see anyone on their way. Batman allowed them to access the zeta tube and Robin led Roy through. Batman had to admire Roy's commitment as he never let go of Robin's hand, even when slipping through the fence. Once he was through himself, he quickly grabbed his cape and wrapped part of it around Roy. This got a scared outburst from him and a glare from Robin. "I need to cover your face. If someone sees us, we can't have them recognize you. It's only until we get to the Batmobile." Granted that was a distance of a few feet, but Batman wasn't willing to take any chances. When they got close Batman disabled the Bat mobile's cloaking device. He released Roy and the teen pressed himself closer to Robin. Robin started talking to him again quietly as he helped Roy get into the backseat.
"You're gonna like the Bat Cave," he said, trying to keep Roy distracted. "It's got a dinosaur! You'll like our home even better. And Agent A. He's great! He makes the best cookies and hot chocolate. He can look at your injuries too."
Batman was thankful for Robin's rambling, for once. He periodically looked back at them as he drove. Roy didn't seem to relax but remained alert and scared, which wasn't surprising. Batman didn't expect him to suddenly trust them. He just hopped Roy would relax enough to get some rest and let Alfred look at his injuries in the morning. Once they pulled into the Bat cave Robin gently pulled Roy out. Batman looked at him and pulled back his cowl. "Welcome to the Bat Cave."
Roy blinked at the sudden appearance of Bruce Wayne. It made sense though. 'Are all billionaires vigilantes?' Robin smiled up at him. "Come on." He led Roy farther into the cave where Alfred was waiting for them. Bruce followed right behind them.
"Alfred, this is Roy Harper. Roy, this is Alfred. He's my butler."
"He's awesome!"
Alfred smiled. "Thank you, Master Dick." He looked at the red-haired teen. "Very nice to meet you, Master Roy."
"Alfred, I need to talk to Dick, can you take Roy upstairs please?"
Alfred nodded. "I shall take Master Roy to his room."
Roy squeezed Dick's hand and moved closer to him. Dick gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "It's ok," he reassured his friend. "Alfred won't hurt you. He's really nice. Unless you make a mess in the kitchen."
"Go with Alfred, Roy," Bruce said. "Dick and I will join you in a few minutes."
Roy didn't want to leave Dick, but he realized he didn't have a choice. He reluctantly let go of Dick's hand and followed the old butler up a flight of stairs. He looked back at Dick pleadingly, but the boy gave him a thumbs up of encouragement. Dick took off his mask and beamed up at Bruce. "We did it! Roy is safe and Oliver can't hit him anymore!"
Bruce nodded and sat down in his Bat computer chair. "That's right."
Dick bounced over to him, still beaming. "Everything's going to be alright!"
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Dick, what Roy went through, especially the brutality of it, it's going to take him a while to move on from it. Did you notice how scared he was on the Watchtower?" Dick nodded. "He's going to be like that for a while."
"He's going to get better though, right?"
That Bruce wasn't certain about. "I hope so Dick."
"He has to! We'll help him! He'll be better in no time!"
Bruce loved Dick's optimism. "I hope so. We have to be patient though. Don't expect him to get better overnight. This will likely take a while."
Dick nodded. "Ok, Bruce."
"Good. Let's get changed so we can go upstairs."
— —
Roy wasn't sure how to feel when the staircase let him out in a grandfather clock. He looked around in amazement. "This is Master Bruce's study," Alfred informed him. "This way." Roy followed the man apprehensively. He didn't want to do anything that would upset someone. They went up another flight of stairs, and yet another, before Alfred led him to a room. "This will be your room Master Roy." He stepped aside and allowed Roy to examine the room on his own.
Roy stopped inside and looked around. As he passed the door he noticed it could lock. He made a mental note of it. 'If Mr. Wayne wanted he could lock me in here.' The room was about the size of his room he'd had with Oliver. It was a lot emptier, similar to how his old room and been when he first moved in. He walked slowly, examining the empty shelves and closet.
"You like it?" Roy spun around and find Dick standing in the room with Bruce. "My room is down the hall. So is Bruce's." That honestly didn't make Roy feel better. In Star, he'd always gotten comfort from the fact that Oliver was on a different floor than him while he was sleeping.
"It's not much for now," Bruce said, trying to get something out of Roy besides fear. "It'll look better once we get you some clothes and things to out in here."
Fear crept up Roy's spine. 'No way,' he thought. 'I'm not falling for that again.' Bruce frowned when Roy didn't respond, then mentally scolded himself when it made Roy flinch. Clearly, the teen thought the frown was out of anger or disappointment. Luckily Alfred was there. "Sir, perhaps we should let Master Roy rest. No doubt this has been an eventful night for him."
Bruce nodded. "Yes." He looked down at Dick. "Say good-night, then go get ready for bed."
Dick grinned and ran to Roy. He hugged Roy, who flinched and tried to push him away. Dick took a step back. "Sorry. Night Roy. If you need anything my room is down the hall on the left! Sleep good!"
Bruce smiled and pat Dick's back as he passed. "I'll come say good night later."
"OK. Night Alfie."
"Sleep well Master Dick," Alfred said, returning the boy's hug. Dick left the room, leaving Ro alone with the two men. Bruce walked closer and Roy took two steps back.
"I'm sorry about Dick," he said. "He's easily excited."
"It's ok," Roy whispered so quietly Bruce almost missed it.
"We'll get you some clothes first thing in the morning. Get some rest, I know tonight has been a long night for you. If you need anything come find Dick or me."
"Or myself," Alfred put in.
"Of course, sorry Alfred. Alfred too. Got it?"
Roy nodded. "Yes sir," he answered quietly.
"Call me Bruce. I'll see you in the morning." He left the room and went to go make sure Dick was actually getting ready for bed and not getting distracted.
"Sleep well Master Roy," Alfred said. He shut the door behind him as he left.
Roy waited a minute before he dared move. He set his bow down on the bed and approached the door cautiously. Cautiously, he tested the door nob and discovered it was unlocked. 'Maybe it's a test.' He wandered back to the bed and sat down on the edge. It was really soft and comfortable. He rested his elbows on his knees and put his head in his hands. 'Ok,' he decided. 'Ok.' He sat up and nodded to himself. "Ok." Roy hid his bow under the bed and turned off the light. He was still in his suit, but he didn't care. Too exhausted to care, he kicked off his boots and curled up under the blankets. Sleep felt impossible though. His brain was too busy wondering how Oliver reacted to finding him gone. 'He's going to be pissed.' Roy shivered. He didn't know if he liked it here better yet. 'What if living here is worse than living with Ollie? What if Mr. Wayne is worse than him?' He shivered again and wrapped his arms around himself. 'If Ollie finds me here he'll kill me.' Roy didn't sleep but instead spent most of the night staring out at the darkness and trying to stay calm.
A/N: Here it is! The chapter I'm sure many of you have been waiting for. Just because Roy's out of Star doesn't mean the story's over though. Be sure to come back and see what's going to happen next.
