A/N: Now for a chapter some of you have been asking about. Another character joins the mix. Enjoy.

"Are you excited?!" Robin asked as Arsenal adjusted his quiver.

"Why? It's my first night back as Arsenal?"

"No! You're going to meet the Justice League!"

Arsenal frowned. "I've already met them."

"Yeah, but you didn't really meet them. You were too scared last time."

"That's true I guess." Arsenal looked away and Robin frowned.

"Are you still scared to meet them?"

"….I don't know." Which was the truth. Woking with Batman had shown him that pretty much everything Oliver had ever told him about the Justice League was false. Batman was brutal, yes, but he never killed and he wasn't as heartless as Roy had been led to believe. Which made him more open to meeting the other members of the League. It still couldn't prevent him from feeling nervous about this trip. 'At least Aqualad will be there. Maybe I can spar with him again. I really liked that.'

"We also get to meet the new League members."

"Do you know who they are?"

"No, I haven't figured out how to hack into that part of the Bat-computer yet."

Arsenal smiled. "Yet," Robin smirked at him.

"Arsenal, Robin, let's go," Batman said, sweeping past the two.

Robin whooped and did a backflip. "To the Bat-mobile!"

'The Justice League are the good guys,' Arsenal thought. 'The Justice League are the good guys. They won't hurt me. They won't hurt me.' Just like with everything though, he wanted to believe it, but part of his brain wasn't on board with the program. The trip to the zeta tube was short, not giving him a lot of time to convince himself this was ok. When they slipped through the fence, Batman authorized for the two of them to get through, then let them go through first.

"Robin, B01."

"Arsenal, B04."

"Batman, 02."

Hearing his own name announced by the automated voice made Arsenal falter a little bit. They were met by Superman, who gave him a warm smile when his name was announced. "Arsenal," Superman said. "It's good to see you."

Arsenal swallowed. "Hi Superman," he replied quietly.

"How've you been?"

"Good." Superman didn't move to touch him, which Arsenal really appreciated. Batman noticed as well and gave Superman a nod. Their attention was drawn by more heroes arriving.

"Kid Flash, B02."

"Flash, 04."

"Hi, Rob!" Kid Flash shouted right before he tackled Robin to the ground.

"Hi KF," Robin muttered. In one smooth motion, he flipped their positions so he was the one pinning Kid Flash to the ground.

"Aqualad, B03."

"Aquaman, 06."

"Hello R- Arsenal," Aqualad said. "Apologies, I was only recently informed you have taken on a new hero identity."

"It's ok," Arsenal replied.

"Are we last?" Aquaman asked.

"You are," Superman nodded.

"Woo! We weren't last!" Flash cheered. He and Kid Flash high-fived, with Kid Flash still on the ground, making Batman roll his eyes.

"Let's go," Superman told the group. "The new inductees to the League have met all of us, except you three-" Batman cleared his throat. "You four."

"They get to meet us?" Kid Flash asked in curiosity. They'd never been allowed to be so involved with the League before.

"Given….past events, we have decided it is best for the League to see how our members react to being around young heroes."

Robin noticed the look the mentors shared. 'AKA,' he thought as they walked towards the League meeting room, 'They want to weed out any potential Green Arrows that would hurt one of us.' He didn't end being used a guinea pig because it meant he could spend more time around the Justice League, but he didn't like Arsenal being used as one. 'Definitely, have to talk to Batman about this.' They entered the room and Robin's attention was immediately drawn to the two people in the room with wings. Arsenal on the other hand immediately noticed someone else. A woman in all black with long, blonde hair. She looked a little different and harder to identify, but it was definitely her. Robin heard Arsenal's breathing get shallow real quick. 'This is why it was a bad idea.' He looked at his friend. "Are you ok?" he whispered.

Arsenal took a long breath. "I don't know…." he breathed.

"Arsenal, what's wrong?" Batman asked. He knew the teen would be nervous about the meeting, but he hadn't expected him to react like this.

"Nothing-"

"Arenal."

"…..Her."

"Who?" If someone in the room was giving a member of his team a panic attack, Batman wanted to know about it. By this point, they'd attracted the attention of the other members of the Justice League, as well as the new inductees.

"The blonde woman."

"Black Canary?"

"Yes." Everyone looked at the woman in question, who gave Arsenal a strange look.

"I've never met either of Batman's sidekicks," she said in confusion.

"She dated…him."

Flash gave her a look of shock. "You dated Green Arrow?!" he demanded. The new Green Lantern gave her a judgmental look.

"I- I did not!" Black Canary replied. "I would never go near that psycho!"

"Are you sure?" Batman growled, not willing to take any chances. If it was true, he wondered how they could've missed something like this.

"Of course I'm sure. I lived in Star City briefly but the only person I dated was-" She froze as something occurred to her. The only person she'd dated in Star was Oliver Queen. The only people who'd known about it was Oliver Queen himself and his ward. A certain red-haired teenager who looked awfully similar to the masked teen in front of her…. She gasped. "Roy Harper?!"

Batman growled, pushing Arsenal behind him and Robin's hand dropped down to his utility belt. Superman put his hand on Batman's shoulder. "Let's all calm down," he advised.

"Robin, Arsenal, Kid Flash, Aqualad….you four leave," Wonder Woman told them. The four boys didn't bother to put up a fight. Robin grabbed Arsenal's hand and led him straight out of the room. Once the four of them were gone the current members of the League rounded on Black Canary.

"What exactly was your relationship with Oliver Queen?" Batman growled.

"I dated him for 4 months when I lived in Star a year ago," Black Canary responded, starting to feel like she was missing something very important.

"Why did you break up with him?" Superman asked. "Why did you leave Star?"

"It's not really any of your guys' business-"

"Your membership in the League hinges on your answers," Green Lantern warned her. "If I were you, I'd start talking." John Stewart gave him a long look.

Black Canary sighed. "Oliver was very…..controlling. He wanted to know where I was, who I was with, and what I was doing all the time. He was insanely jealous and accused me of cheating on him several times. One time, he saw me talking with a male co-worker and accused me of sleeping with him."

"This didn't raise any red flags?" Superman asked.

"It did. I was offered a job in Seattle and it was this behavior that made me seriously consider taking it. The night I told him I wanted to leave and we got into a huge fight. He hit me-"

"He hit you?" Wonder Woman hissed, causing Flash and Green Lantern, who was standing on either side of her, to take three steps backward.

"Yes. He hit me, so I broke his nose and left. I moved to Seattle the following week and never looked back."

"That's it?" Batman asked. "That's all that happened?"

"Yes. What does this have to do with anything?"

"What were your interactions with Roy like?"

Black Canary frowned. "With Roy? Nothing really. I hardly talked to him."

"You dated Oliver for four months, but you never talked to Roy?" She glared at him, clearly unafraid.

"I didn't say we never talked. Oliver didn't bring me to his home often, and when we did, Roy usually chose to stay in his room." Batman highly doubted he'd chosen that. "When I did talk to him it was only for a few minutes and he was really shy." She crossed her arms. "What I want to know is why he was apparently kidnapped by the Justice League!"

"You really don't know?" Flash asked her. She glared at him, in a way that was eerily similar to Iris, and he sighed. "First thing you should know is that Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow."

"No, he's not."

"Yes, he is."

"No, he's not."

"He is," Batman said. "He's the Green Arrow."

Black Canary blinked, surveying the looks on the current League members' faces.. "You guys are serious?"

"Very," Superman nodded.

"Oh my god, I dated the Green Arrow. Then that means Roy was-"

"Speedy," Batman confirmed. "Yes."

"That still doesn't explain what he's doing here."

"Oliver was abusing Roy."

"Abuse?" John Stewart asked. "You kidnapped this kid because of abuse? Why didn't you call the authorities?"

Hal grimaced. "We considered it," he explained, "but he was a vigilante, as was Roy. We didn't want word getting out that this kid was Speedy. He would've been in way more danger."

"If Oliver was abusing Roy, I would've known it," Black Canary said.

"Are you sure?" Batman asked her. "You just admitted you barely saw him."

"If you don't believe us, then see for yourself," Flash said. Literally, before anyone could stop him, the speedster ran over to a computer and brought up one of the videos of Roy. The inductees moved closer to the holographic screen, as the video started playing. It was the video of Oliver beating Roy with his belt. John Stewart's fist tightened and his ring started glowing. Hawkman and Hawkwoman started glaring. Their grips on their weapons got tighter. Black Canary, while angry, was mostly shocked. Superman actually stopped the video halfway through, not wanting to put their current members through watching it again.

"That's only a glimpse into what Oliver did to Roy. Among other things, he starved him, beat him almost daily, manipulated him into becoming a vigilante, and tried to force him into becoming a killer."

"Sounds like a real stand up member of society," John Stewart muttered.

Black Canary covered her mouth with her hand. "I can't believe it," she whispered. "I was there. I was around them." Several memories suddenly bombarded her mind. Dark bruises on Roy's face, with a lot of reluctance to tell her how he'd gotten them. The fact that she and Roy had never been in a room alone. Oliver had always been there when they saw each other. She'd thought he'd been there to support Roy since he was so shy and anxious, but more likely he'd been there to intimidate Roy and make sure he didn't tell her anything. Now that she really thought about it, Roy's shyness and anxiety probably weren't natural. It was probably fear of what Oliver might do to him if he gave away what was happening. "I was there and I knew nothing. I-I could've helped him."

"You and Batman could make a club," Flash muttered. Aquaman shook his head at the speedster.

"So you were in no way complicit in the abuse?" Batman asked.

Black Canary scowled at him, once again unafraid. "Of course I wasn't!" she snapped. "I had no idea what Oliver was doing! If I had known I would've helped Roy!"

"That's good," Superman said.

"If she never hurt Roy, then why did he react like that when he saw her?" Martian Manhunter asked.

"He can't always control how he reacts to things," Batman told them.

Black Canary sighed. "Batman, I would like to talk to Roy- Arsenal," she said.

"Why?" Flash asked.

Batman didn't need to know why though. He could tell from her reactions she was feeling some guilt over this. Whether or not talking to Roy would appease her guilt, he didn't know, he doubted it, but if talking to Roy could potentially help him, Batman was willing to try. "Yes," he said, surprising everyone around him. "As long as you understand that this only happens if he wants it to. If he doesn't want to talk to you then you can't force him to."

"Of course."

"Good." He turned away and left the room with Black Canary following only a moment behind.

After they left their mentors, Robin led Arsenal to the gym where they'd been last time they were on the Watchtower. "You ok?" Robin asked Arsenal.

"I don't know…" Arsenal muttered.

"Perhaps we should give Arsenal some space," Aqualad responded.

"Come on dude, let's go race!" Kid Flash yelled, running in a circle around the group. "Come on, come on, come on, come on!"

"Go," Arsenal said to Robin. "I'll be fine."

"You sure?" Robin asked.

"I'm sure." Kid Flash dashed across the room, then came back, scooped Robin up in his arms, and ran off with him. "Kid Flash has superspeed, why do they "race"?"

"I admit that I do not know," Aqualad replied. "How has it been working as a vigilante again?"

"It's good. It's….better than being with Green Arrow because Batman doesn't kill people."

"The League as a whole is against the killing of criminals. I am glad you share this sentiment."

"Thanks."

"Would you like to spar again Arsenal? I am sure you have improved a lot."

"I have. Let's go and I'll show you." They walked to the mats in the center of the floor and Arsenal attacked Aqualad without much warning. Once again, the young Atlantean's naturally calm demeanor made him feel calm. He never really felt that Aqualad could be mad at him because he'd never seen him mad. They were in the middle of sparring when Batman walked in with Black Canary.

"Arsenal," he said, calling the teen over. They stopped and Arsenal made his way over to them nervously.

"Yes?" he asked.

"I don't think we've officially met, I'm Black Canary," Black Canary said. "I'm sure you remember me by a different name though."

Arsenal nodded. "Dinah. You and Oliver dated."

"We did. Would you like to go for a walk?" Arsenal looked at Batman.

"You can go if you want," Batman informed him. "If you don't want to, then you don't have to." Truthfully, Arsenal was really curious what Dinah wanted to talk to him about. Batman subtly tapped his belt, reminding Arsenal that no matter where he was on the Watchtower, he could find him. This gave Arsenal a little bit of confidence.

"Ok," Arsenal said to Black Canary. "Let's go for a walk." The two of them walked away from the gym. Black Canary gave Arsenal space, trying not to crowd him. "I didn't know you were a hero."

"I could say the same about you."

"I'm sorry I freaked out when I saw you. I just…I don't know…"

"It's ok. I'm honestly surprised you remembered me."

"I didn't exactly meet a lot of people in the two years lived with Oliver. Plus you were the only woman he ever brought home. It definitely made you stand out."

"Batman told me about….what Oliver did-" Arsenal didn't say anything. "I'm sorry I didn't realize what was going on."

"It's fine-" Arsenal stopped. It wasn't fine really. Nothing about this situation was fine.

"If I had known I would've done everything in my power to help you. I just had to convince Batman and the League that I didn't know what was going on."

"I didn't tell them you did."

"I know, I was there. I want you to know I didn't just ignore what was going on, I truly didn't know."

"I was good at hiding it."

"That was easier considering I hardly ever saw you when I was in the mansion."

Arsenal looked away. "It wasn't always my choice. Oliver warned me to stay clear or else. A couple of times he locked me in a closet when you were there." He suddenly became very interested in the wall next to him, causing him to miss the horrified look on Black Canary's face. "Like I said, though, I was really isolated when I lived with Oliver."

"Did you enjoy seeing me then?"

"….um…no…" Black Canary gave him a curious look. "Sorry. It wasn't that I didn't like you. It's just…when you were around there was a greater chance I was going to do something wrong or Ollie was going to get mad at me." Not to mention any time Dinah was around Oliver would ignore him to the point of not feeding him. Whenever Oliver was away sleeping at her place, Roy would still go without food; sometimes for a couple of days.

"That makes sense. It doesn't make me feel any better that I'm a licensed and trained therapist and I wasn't able to recognize a child in need of help."

"Oliver did everything he could to keep it from you. Besides, I would've never considered telling you anyways." Arsenal held his bow closer to his body. "Can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"Why did you break up with Ollie?"

"I was concerned with how controlling Oliver was. It was so bad that I wanted to take a job in Seattle to get away. I told him I wanted to leave, thankfully not where I was going, but he didn't take it well." That, Arsenal believed. "We got into a big argument and he hit me. Granted, I didn't have the best reaction, but I-"

"Hit him back," Arsenal finished. He flinched as he remembered his bedroom door banging open in the middle of the night and Oliver's face covered in blood.

"I did. I left Star a couple of days later. I was thankful he didn't come after me in those couple of days. I knew hitting him back had probably made him furious and I didn't want to deal with that."

"He was really angry. Really, really angry."

"Did our fight wake you up that night? We were yelling really loud."

"No, Ollie did after you left."

"He woke you up after I left? It was 1 in the morning!"

Arsenal nodded. "Who do you think he took his anger out on?"

Black Canary felt a lump form in her throat. She'd pissed off a dangerous man, only to leave him alone with a defenseless child. "I'm sorry Roy, I didn't know he would take his anger out on you."

"I was really mad at you at first. You were the one who made him angry, but I was the one who had to deal with consequences. After a couple of days though, I realized I wanted you gone because if you weren't around he couldn't hurt you too."

"You're a brave kid to put up with that for two years." Arsenal looked away. They'd walked in a loop and arrived back at the gym where they'd started. "Thank you for talking with me Arsenal. After hearing what had been happening I wanted a chance to talk to you myself and apologize for not realizing you were in danger."

"If you had known it just would've made things worse."

"Despite our rough beginning, I hope in the future we can be friends." Arsenal didn't really know what to say, so he ducked his head and scurried back into the gym.

Batman stepped out of the shadows by the door once he was gone. "Have you alleviated your guilt?" he asked, leading her back to the League meeting room.

"Not really. When I broke up with Oliver he turned around and took out his anger on Roy. I can't imagine what that poor kid has gone through in the past couple of years."

"No, you can't."

Black Canary gave him a look but didn't say anything. "Where is he living now?"

"In Gotham, with Robin and myself."

"How is he adjusting?"

"It's been 7 and a half months. He's still adjusting."

"Does he exhibit strange behavior?"

"He's anxious about….me. He thinks I'm going to hit him."

"Anything else?"

"He has panic attacks and nightmares. He has low self-esteem and feels Queen's treatment of him was justified."

Black Canary nodded. "If he's in need of professional help, I'm licensed, therapist. I'd be happy to help him in any way I can."

"I'll keep that in mind." Which he actually would. Roy needed the help and if he could get it from some member of the Justice League, then he'd take advantage of it. Anyone else probably would've apologized for assuming Black Canary had been complicit in the abuse, but Batman was certain he'd been justified. Had she been involved in any way, he hadn't wanted her anywhere near Arsenal. They returned to the League meeting room to find Superman explaining the situation with Green Arrow to the new members.

"He attacked civilians in your cities out of revenge," John Stewart asked. "and you did nothing?!"

"Not nothing," Flash said. "We did try to blackmail him."

"You're the greatest heroes of Earth, blackmail shouldn't be on your resume," Hawkwoman pointed out.

"We didn't want to tip Queen off as to where Roy was," Batman explained.

"Why go to all this trouble for one kid?" Hawkman asked. "I understand you wanted to help him, but your actions caused Green Arrow to attack the people you've sworn to protect and your own sidekicks."

"None of this is Arsenal's fault!" Batman shouted. Superman and Wonder Woman each put a hand on his chest in warning.

"I'm not saying it is. I'm just confused as to why you're so willing to endanger others at his expense. Were you that desperate to get his archery skills on your side?" Again, Superman and Wonder Woman had to press their hands warningly against Batman's chest.

"This wasn't about getting him to fight for us," Flash said. "We just wanted to help him."

"Why at the expense of others?" Hawkwoman asked.

"It was our fault," Batman said. Everyone looked at him. Superman and Wonder Woman let their hands fall, sensing he wasn't going to attack someone. "We knew for years that Green Arrow was a danger to people, but we chose to make a truce instead of stopping him. When he took in Roy, we still looked away. We left a child to defend himself against a full-grown adult for two years. You can't judge our actions unless you've met a 14-year-old covered in bruises and terrified of everyone because he thinks he's going to be beaten. We looked the other way for too long and a child suffered because of it."

"Green Arrow and Green Arrow alone is responsible for his actions," Green Lantern said. "He chose to attack our cities. He chose to hurt Arsenal. We can't be held responsible for his actions." The Hawks were silent and the others took this as their acceptance of the situation.

"We'd advise you all to be on your toes," Superman told them. "Tomorrow we are announcing your acceptance into the League in front of the Hall of Justice. Green Arrow has a vendetta against us, and though none of you were involved in removing Sp- Arsenal from Star, that vendetta may include you all as well."

"If that bothers you too much, and you don't think protecting an innocent child is worth that, you can feel free to renounce your membership," Wonder Woman added.

"You think one piece of scum is going to bother me?" John Stewart asked. "If he comes to Detroit I'll hit him so hard he'll land on the moon." Hal smiled and nodded in encouragement.

"He doesn't scare us either," Hawkman said. "If he's an enemy of the Justice League then he's our enemy as well."

"I'd like to see him try and take us on," Hawkwoman added.

Black Canary crossed her arms. "If he even steps foot in Seattle, I'll show him the real meaning of pain," she said.

"Looks like we're all on the same page then," Flash nodded. "Welcome to the Justice League."

— —

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Arsenal asked Robin, adjusting his quiver again.

"Batman says it's ok," Robin said, "So it's ok."

"Why are you so nervous Arsenal?" Aqualad asked.

"Yeah, this is the first time the public's seeing all of us together!" Kid Flash smiled. He was running excitedly in a circle around the other three. "We get to be there when the new Justice League members are announced to the press!"

"We're just standing the background," Robin told him, He stuck his foot out, tripping the young speedster. Kid Flash fell on the ground with a loud thump! Robin sat on his back and cackled. "I doubt anyone will even notice us."

"Dude! That so wasn't cool!"

"You should've watched where you were going."

"You tripped me!"

Aqualad looked away from the two younger boys' arguing and saw Arsenal had stepped away from the group. "Arsenal," he said, stepping closer. "Is everything ok?" Arsenal's breathing was getting a little erratic and his arms were wrapped around his body. "Arsenal-" He reached out to put his hand on the teen's shoulder, but Arsenal pulled away.

"Please don't touch me!" he hissed.

"Sorry, I am just worried."

"Help me breathe!" Arsenal did his best to talk quietly. Robin and Kid flash were still playfully arguing, so they didn't notice. "Please!"

"Ok…um…" Aqualad tried to think of what he could do. He stepped around Arsenal so he was standing in front of him. "Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in-" Granted he really didn't know if he was helping, but he did his best. It took a couple of minutes, but Arsenal's breathing evened out, but he still kept his arms wrapped around himself.

"Thank you, Aqualad. I just….couldn't calm myself down."

"I was happy to help, but, if you don't mind my asking, why are you so worried?"

Arsenal played with his bow. "We're going to be….in front of people. They'll know we exist."

"Why does this bother you?"

"I don't know…I guess….I guess I'm just scared of making it public that I'm working with Batman. When I was Speedy all of the press was always focused on Green Arrow and hardly ever mentioned me."

"The focus will not be on us, Arsenal. It will be on the League and their new members. Like Robin said, we will be in the background. No one will even notice our presence."

"Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

"Ok. Ok."

"Arsenal, Robin," Batman said, walking in. The two boys hurried to his side. Flash followed and Kid Flash zipped over to his mentor. Aquaman walked into the room and Aqualad soon joined him at his side. "All of you will be quiet and remain in the background while we do this."

"If we behave will we get to go to more League functions?" Robin asked hopefully. Batman just looked at him. He looked away and the boy wonder smirked. 'Well, he didn't say no…' The founding members of the Justice League left the Hall of Justice, with their sidekicks and the new members following close behind. Once they stepped into the sunlight the four sidekicks stepped off to the side, partially hidden in the shadows of their mentors. Superman stepped forward and started talking about the mission of the League and need for expansion. Arsenal wasn't really listening. He was too busy trying to keep himself calm.

'So many people…' he thought nervously. 'What if someone notices me? What if they figure out I'm from Star? That I"m Speedy.' The thought made him nauseous. Not only would Oliver know where he was, but the public would probably trust Batman less if they knew he was working with someone who'd killed people before.

Robin seemed to notice his anxiety and nudged him. "Someday that'll be us," he whispered, watching as Black Canary, Hawkman, Hawkwoman, and John Stewart were welcomed into the League.

"Dude…" Kid Flash smiled. He started vibrating a little bit. "That'll be awesome…."

"Indeed, Aqualad nodded. "It would be amazing to stand beside them as equals."

"The greatest heroes on Earth," Robin whispered, a hint of awe in his voice. His eyes strayed back to Batman. "We'll be just like them someday."

Arsenal watched the League members with interest. "Do you think they'd let me be in the League someday?" he asked cautiously.

"Of course. We'll all be in the League."

"All of us?" He tried to imagine what that would be like. To be a great hero and have people cheer for you and trust you instead of running away in fear. To have your skills be known not for their deadliness, but for the number of people they'd helped save. The archer smiled a little to himself. "I'd like that. I'd like that a lot."

Robin smiled as well. "We're joining the League someday. That's a promise."

— —

Thousands of miles away in Star City, Oliver was watching a live feed of the ceremony. Practically every news station in the country was covering it. He scowled in irritation, fist clenching around the remote. "Stupid Justice League," he muttered. "They think they're so good. Bunch of hypocritical idiots!" He pointed the remote at the tv, intending to shut it off when something caught his eye. He paused the tv and leaned closer. "What…" The sidekicks were just barely visible in the shadows of the League members. The one with dark skin and blonde hair was obviously Aqualad. Next to him was a bright yellow figure that was most likely Kid Flash. Next to him was a much smaller, almost tiny by comparison, figure that could only be Robin. Next to Robin though…was a teenager. Oliver moved a little closer, carefully studying the teen. He had red hair and was carrying a bow.

"Roy!" he hissed, anger flashing through his body. He sat back on the couch again. He sat back and studied the paused the screen. "So you're with the League now…" Glancing to the side he picked up a copy of the Gotham Gazette, which had been lying next to him on the couch. The front page boldly displayed the headline, "Batman Gets New Sidekick" with a poorly shot picture. Batman was hard to make out, as he blended in with the night behind him. A green and yellow blur that could only have been Robin was in the air beside him, the picture catching him mid-grapple. Right behind Robin though, was a red figure with what looked like a quiver on his back and a bow in his hand.

Oliver set the paper down and tapped his fingers on the arm of the couch. "So….you're in Gotham." That didn't really narrow it down since there were millions of people in that city and he had absolutely no clue where Batman's base was. "I never would've guessed they sent him to the Bat." He sighed deeply. "I have to be smart about this. Batman is smart and tough. Not to mention he has Superman on speed dial. I'll need a good plan to get past him and get to Roy; or…" His face twisted in disgust as he looked at the paper again. "Arsenal." He threw the paper across the room.

"Batman won't be able to stop me! I'm going to get that kid and I'll show him what happens when he goes against me!"
