My name was Roy Harper, I was Arsenal, I was The Green Arrow. After lying about Oliver's death his younger sister grew to hate me and team arrow so Merlyn used a refined version of ventura to channel the anger in her to make her the daughter he always wanted. My team are probably dead and now I'm lying here in a boxing ring while some kid patches me up and I don't have enough energy to even say a word.
As Alvin put on the last bandage he walked to the other side of the room and dialled a number on his phone, he pulled the phone to his ear.
"Yes this is an emergency, no he hasn't started killing, his team was captured by Merlyn, they're probably dead, and can you come? Why not? Well metahuman trafficking would require your attention wouldn't it? Don't die ok. Wait does that mean I'm alone? That's all you can do?-"Alvin said to the person on the phone.
Roy slowly got up and looked over at Alvin.
"Uggh who are you kid?" Roy asked.
"Alvin Draper, you should lie down." Alvin said while walking towards him.
"Laurel mentioned you, Ted was training you, why did he owe your dad a favour?" Roy asked.
"Dad? Oh yeah "dad" "Alvin said.
"Who is your dad?" Roy asked.
"Batman." Alvin said smugly.
"What!?" Roy exclaimed.
"Yeah I've been training with Grant for the past week to start helping out in the field more." Alvin said.
"You can't train for a week and start fighting crime." Roy said while getting up.
"I know I just needed to learn a couple of things from Grant before starting properly, I've been training for the past 2 years." Alvin said.
"I'm guessing since you're telling me this I'm guessing Alvin Draper isn't your real name and Batman isn't your real dad since you put it in air quotes." Roy said.
"You're smarter than you look." Alvin said.
"So we gonna get back up from the Bat?" Roy asked.
"Nope but my suit is coming." Alvin said happily.
"How?" As Roy asked that a jet past over the gym and dropped a capsule outside. "well that answers my question."
The two went outside to the capsule. Alvin put his hand on a scanner which opened it up revealing his Robin suit. (Basically the Arkham Knight suit just that he has hair)
"Cool" Roy muttered.
After Alvin and Roy put on their suits they met on the roof of the gym.
"So how many Robins are there cause I can tell you're not the first?" Roy asked while stocking some spare arrows in his quiver he had a spare supply kept at the gym if something were to happen.
"I'm the third." Robin replied.
"So what do we do now? I've got no idea what his endgame is." Roy asked.
"He must've had associates." Robin told him.
"Weather Wizard," Roy said.
"Just metahuman muscle. Anyone else?" Robin asked.
"Count Vertigo." Roy said.
"Vertigo has connections all over the city, you said he needs to hit his targets, that's how he's probably going to do it." Robin said.
"He's probably gonna kill his targets by drugging them with a volatile version of Vertigo most likely through alcohol or drugs. We need to see if anyone has bought their consumables from different places than usual. But without Felicity I don't know how to do that." Roy said sadly.
"Oracle, can you check if shipments of alcohol, medication or drugs have been tampered with recently." Robin asked to someone on his earpiece.
"Who's Oracle?" Roy asked but Robin just put his hand up to tell him to be quiet."
"Thanks, okay Oracle my tech advisor just found out that last month a pharmaceutical shipment was stolen but was found by the police the next day, everything was delivered as usual. Also the amount of people who require medication recently went up by 184." Robin said.
"Merlyn must've bribed some doctors to tell their patients to take medication so when they take it tonight before bed they'll be taking poison. Do you know any names?" Roy realised.
"Yeah Oracle got them, Simon Peterson, Sarah Mcniven, Andrew Berlanti-"Robin read off from a display on his forearm.
"I know those names." Roy searched through his pockets and pulled a small brown leather notebook. "Those are the uncrossed names on the list that The Arrow used when he first started do they match the rest?"
The two checked the names and it was a complete match they then realised that there were some missing on Robin's list due to the last 16 already requiring medication so they filled the list out to 200. They then realised that they needed to figure out how to warn the people about Merlyn.
"I can hack the emergency broadcast network you're gonna have to deliver a message." Robin said.
30 minutes later
TV's, computers and cell phones all displayed a message from Roy in his uniform with just a black background behind him, the video also disguised his voice.
"Last year The Arrow died but what he stood for didn't, his crusade was taken up by heroes who believed in what's right that this city should never fall into darkness and when it does it can be beaten by light, heroes who I fear are now dead due to Malcolm Merlyn. He is planning a massacre to kill the cities corrupt. While these people have failed the city we should not fail them. The names of the targets have been emailed to the SCPD and to the targets themselves. They will be killed by a drug in their medication or anything else that could be spiked by Vertigo. This is a message to challenge Malcolm Merlyn to tell him that HE HAS FAILED THIS CITY. This is a message from the last follower of The Arrow from the person who will now take up his crusade I am The Red Arrow." Roy announced.
The entire SCPD went into a panic to save those who failed the city. While many were saved others did die either due to taking the medication before the message, the SCPD being too late or because they didn't see the message. Merlyn watched his plan fail from his office which was abandoned after the undertaking and threw his arms up in rage. He then opened the door to his safe room with his equipment which also had Laurel, Ray, Ted, Felicity and Diggle who was still in a comma tied up inside.
"Your friend has angered me so how about I anger him." Merlyn said as he picked up Diggle's unconscious body and hurled it out of a window to the crowd below.
