Beep. Beep. Beep. Richard groaned slamming his fist onto the alarm clock, effectively hitting the snooze button. He sat up and yawned loudly. He hopped from the bed and immediately began getting ready. It was his and his brother's first day at their new school. After having hacked his way into the government's system he had created three new for the three brothers. Each getting a new name, with a picture that was slightly modified so if anyone saw the photo, they would never know it was any of them. He grabbed a pair of blue jeans and threw them on. He then grabbed a black t-shirt and put it on.
He grabbed a black leather jacket that he had bought the day before. He slipped it on and grabbed his navy backpack and walked out of his room, ready for the day. He slowly descended the creaky wooden stairs and into the kitchen where both Roy and Wally were at. Roy was sitting at the table with a cup of hot coffee in his hand. He was wearing a pair of black jeans and a green button up shirt. He was also wearing a black leather jacket, only his looked more like a bikers, complete with black leather gloves.
Wally was busy polishing his twenty-second plate of waffles as Richard approached. Wally was wearing a brown leather biker jacket over a messy black shirt, complete with a pair of blue jeans. They were going for kind of a biker type of look, well with Richard being the least biker-like. The reason being is due to to the fact that people would question his age, he actually had to put his birth-date as somewhat closer to what it actually was. That being said, he wasn't aloud to drive a motorcycle of any kind at the age of fourteen. Wally was sixteen according to his fake i.d and Roy was nearly eighteen according to his.
Wally was old enough for a license and it wasn't hard making a fake one for him. Roy on the other hand had actually gone over to Bludhaven's DMV and applied for his. Two hours and two-hundred dollars later, Roy had his own license. "Well looks like Ricky's finally up." Roy said smugly using his new alias. "Yes I am up, Rain." Richard replied using Roy's own new name. "Wow Ricky-boy, I thought I was actually gonna have to go and wake you up." Wally added with a small smile. "The day I'm late, is the day you make a mistake when it comes to chemicals, Wade." Richard replied with a small smile of his own.
"Like that'll ever happen." Wally said finishing up his final plate. "That's the whole reason, he said it like that. Duh." Roy said with a shake of his head. Richard nodded to Roy before going to make himself a cup of coffee. He poured the black substance into his bird-themed coffee mug. He then poured a little cream and was about to reach for the sugar, only for Wally to super-speed over to him and grab his arm. "Easy on the sugar, Dickie. Don't need you going all sugar rush on the first day of school." Wally said as Richard sighed. "Awww, but that's no fun." Richard replied pulling out the puppy dog eyes.
Wally had to turn away and look at Roy for support. He gave Roy a pleading look as if begging for help. Roy chuckled slightly before standing up. "Wallys right. We can't have you on a sugar rushing on the first day of school. I mean I know the teachers are already crazy but there's no need for you to drive them insane, on your first day." Roy said agreeing with Wally.
Wally smiled at Roy who also smiled, both having a silent conversation. Wally finally released his grip on Richard's arm after the silent conversation. It was a good thing that there was two of them. Because that way the two of them together would have a chance at resisting the puppy dog eyes. "Alright. Let's go to school, if we don't get there soon, we'll be late for our meeting with the Principal." Wally said already walking over to the garage door. Richard groaned knowing he wasn't going to get his favorite hot beverage. Roy noticing the look on Richard's face sighed.
"We'll get some starbucks tomorrow if you can convince Wally into it." Roy said raising the boy's spirits. Wally's mouth went agape as he looked at Roy in disbelief. "You just fed me to the wolves!" Wally said exasperated. "What are you talking about?" Roy asked as Wally pointed to Richard who was already in puppy dog eye mode, as the two liked to call it.
"Crap. I was hoping you'd be able to say no. But I guess driving them bat-shit crazy on the second day is better then doing it on the first." Roy said upon seeing the look. "Alright boys, let's head out." Roy added as an afterthought. The trio made their way into the garage, where Roy went over to his now pure red motorcycle and mounted it. Wally mounted his now lightning yellow motorcycle and started it up. Richard got on the back of Roy's and wrapped his arms around the older boy.
Roy pulled out the garage door opener and pressed the button causing the steel door to raise. He then started up his bike and began driving down the road with Wally close behind him. Wally had gotten surprisngly good on his bike, over the course of the past week. He was on par with Roy, and even Richard, managing to beat the younger boy in a test of skill a few times. They were still working on the bikes for their future superhero personas but they were nearly done.
The trio arrived at a large gated three story school less then five minutes later. They rode over to the parking lot and dismounted the bikes. "Alright, boys it's time to get our first day of school over with." Roy said nodding to his brothers. "Let's try not to draw any attention to ourselves. That means you Wally." Roy stated looking directly at said speedster. "Get in one fight, and they hold it against you for a life time." Wally mumbled under his breath. "Richard, you are to be on your best behavior as well." Roy said sternly turning to the hacker.
"Got it, no hanging from the lights or going ninja." Richard replied with a small smirk. "That means no cursing out your teachers Roy." Wally told him with a smirk. "Hey, if they have it coming then screw it." Roy defended as Wally shook his head. "Incognito remember. Cursing out a teacher could lead to unexpected consequences." Richard added as Roy groaned. "Fine. I won't curse out any dumb bitch, that deserves it." Roy grumbled in defeat. "Good, now let's get going. I'd hate to be late for my first day of school." Richard said with a grin.
The trio walked into the large barren courtyard and made their way over to a large building. They entered the building and saw a large wooden desk with a lady behind it. "Can I help you?" She asked obviously annoyed at someone showing up. "Ya. We're the Blake brothers. We were told to come meet the principal for our orientation." Roy stated giving the lady a stern look. "Alright, she's in the back." She said with a roll of her eyes. The trio walked behind her and towards the door but Wally stopped once he heard her comment on something.
"Damn, another bunch of idiots. I mean there hair colors are so weird. That and reddy needs to get his head out of his ass. I mean seriously he's taking teenage rebellion way to far." Wally grabbed a pen from the jar that was on the desk and tapping into the speed force threw it so hard it embedded itself into the wall next to her head. She gasped turning towards Wally. "Watch what you say babe. You shouldn't talk behind someone's back, especially if their literally walking past you." Wally said with a small smile.
She merely nodded her head as Wally walked into the office to join his brothers. There inside the room was a nice wooden desk with a kind woman with short blonde hair standing there. "You must be the Blake brothers." She said smiling as she held out her hand. Roy smiled and shook it. "You must be Mrs. Harkreader." Roy replied shaking it firmly before letting go.
"Well first off, welcome to BloodyFang academy." She said her smile growing bigger. "Well on behalf of my brothers, thank you." Roy said looking back on the two younger ones. Twenty minutes later after talking with her-who seemed happy to have some kind and non-gang affiliated students- they were all directed to their class rooms. However before they separated Roy reminded them to not get into any trouble. That worked for about three hours, until something happened.
Richard was running through the obstacle course that the coach was having him run, to test his athletic ability. Luckily he wasn't alone. Wally was nearby running a harder course. The two had the same class but because Richard was younger the coach forced him to run the easier course, much to his dismay. He was taking it easy until he spotted Wally talking with some students.
"Yo new kid." A large boy called out approaching Wally, who had just finished the course. "Ya?" Wally asked turning his attention to the two boys approaching him. One was tall and extremely muscular, the other one was smaller then Richard and skinny. "You're pretty good. In fact your so good, that we, two of the BloodyFang's leaders wish to offer you an opportunity to join." The smaller boy said with a sadistic smile. "Thanks but no thanks." Wally said immediately. "Sorry but you don't really got a choice. You see, you either join us or you go to the hospital. Your choice." The taller boy said cracking his knuckles.
"Ya, I don't think either of my brothers would appreciate that. In fact I think they'd be angry. Trust me when I say you don't wanna make them mad." Wally said thinking about what Roy would do to him if he got into any trouble. His ass hanging above the fire place. Ya not a good thought. "So like I said, thanks but no." Wally said turning around. The younger boy growled pulling out a knife from his pocket. It was at that moment that Richard decided to intervene. He spun around the bar a few times building up momentum before launching himself into the air towards the boys.
Right as the boy was about to impale Wally, Richard landed on him with a sickening crunch. Wally turned to see Richard standing atop of the younger boy and the older boy turning to swing on him. Wally furrowed his eyebrows super-speeding in front of Richard and blocking the punch with his bare hands. "Wrong move bucko." Wally said as the boy attempted to remove his hand from Wally's grip but was unable to do so. THe older boy growled swinging his other hand at Wally who merely ducked and slid between the boys legs. He then stood up and flipped the boy before he could figure out what had happened.
"Don't touch my brother." Wally said glaring at the older boy. As Wally and Richard were glaring at the two boys they were unaware of the much larger boy approaching Wally with a pissed off look on his face. Before he could so much as aim a fist at Wally, Roy grabbed the guy by the back of his shirt and flipped him over his shoulder. "I swear, I can't take you guys anywhere, without shit going down." Roy grumbled to himself.
Roy curb stomped the largest boy before he could so much as blink. The other two where knocked out via Richard's and Wally's actions. Once all three boys were out cold, Roy turned to Wally. "What the hell happened?!" Roy asked as Wally chuckled nervously. He rubbed the back of his hand before answering. "Well, I had just finished my training course, then some guys came and offered me a position to their gang. Knowing how pissed you'd be I said no. They attacked and well we responded." Wally explained not mentioning the part about keeping his butt.
"What the hell just happened?" A voice asked from behind the trio. The boys turned and saw the principal Mrs. Harkreader standing there shocked. "Oh crap." Roy muttered as Richard smiled a plan already formed in his head. Before either of the other two could stop him, he walked in front of her."Well you see, these guys were in possession of a dangerous weapon. They attempted to use said weapon and the three of us were forced to defend ourselves. Unfortunately the only way to disarm them was to knock them out. You have our deepest apologies."
Richard explained with a slight bow of his head.
Her mouth fell open for a moment but she quickly closed it. "Well, I guess if you handled it, it's alright." She said slightly in disbelief. "Really?!" Wally asked perking up quickly. "Yes. I don't approve the use of violence however this school is unfortunately run by it. Though I am surprised to have some students who actually respect my staff." She said with a small smile. Roy had his eyebrow raised slightly at this. "Run by violence? Are you talking about that Bloody Fang Gang?" He asked curiously.
She nodded her head. "Unfortunately they rule the school with an iron fist. You don't obey their rules? Simple they deal with you accordingly. If they weren't around then we wouldn't have such a bad reputation." She answered with a sigh. Roy looked over to his brothers and the three of them had a silent conversation. "Well what if we told you we could get rid of the leaders?" Roy asked her with a small smirk on his face.
"If you could I'd probably be happy but unfortunately I doubt that it's even possible. The three of them are hardened criminals." She replied with a shake of her head. The boys all chuckled internally of course. Hardened criminals? More like fish food for Aquaman. "Well if we knew where they were, we'd be more then happy to remove them." Roy said as she looked at them in disbelief.
The three boys merely gave their own confident gaze. "Ugh. Normally I'm against sending kids away to become body bags, but if you really want to try..." She left off hoping they'd interject which didn't happen. "They usually hang out on top of the roof around this time." She finished. Wally smiled and nodded. "Don't worry Mrs. Harkreader, we'll be back before you can count to infinity." He told her as she raised an eyebrow. "But that's impossible." She replied as Richard cackled slightly. "That's the point Mis." Richard answered for his speedy brother.
"Alright boys. Enough with the chatter. We got a mission to do and I expect no less then perfection. Got it?!" Roy asked turning towards in his brothers. The way he said it made both boys straighten slightly. "You got it boss-man!" Wally told him confidently. "Anything less then perfection would be a disgrace to us. In fact slap yourself for even thinking that!" Richard shot playfully. Mrs. Harkreader looked more and more confused as Roy nodded and began to lead the boys up the stairs.(1)
Roy, Wally and Richard all made their way through the school and up the multiples of creaky wooden stairs until they finally hit the roof. Roy looked back and both his brothers nodded at him. Without an ounce of effort he kicked the door to the roof top down. When it crashed to the ground, a very interesting sight as shown to them. There were about fifty guys crowding there with three behind them. To the side was about a dozen women.
The crowd of boys consisted of your usual hoodlums. Baseball caps backwards. Black t-shirts with red lettering. Torn blue jeans and tattoos. God there were so many tattoos. "Holy shit, Roy. I think we got the wrong place." Wally said his eyes widening as the crowd glared them down. "I mean I thought this was supposed to be where the thugs hang out. Not where the tattoo parlor operates from." He finished off with a cheeky smile.
Roy glanced to the girls and saw that some of them looked like they belonged in the school while others didn't. The girls that didn't were wearing blue jeans and had button up shirts, while the girls who did were wearing mostly black shirts and blue jeans. With the occasional green tank-top. "So Roy, what's the plan?" Richard whispered taking in the sights.
"Richard, I doubt the girls are here of their own free will. Escort them out of the school. Then find a few substitute weapons for us and then hurry back." Roy ordered his voice low enough so only the three of them could hear. Richard looked ready to object but a stern glare had him nodding.
"Wally, you and I get the fun part. We get to kick some ass while we wait for Richard to return." Roy said causing Wally to nod in agreement. The crowd merely examined them as Roy stood up straight. "Alright boys. LET'S KICK SOME ASS!" He declared as clapping was heard from a distance. For some reason he felt as though he had just accomplished something of great pride just by shouting those words. Richard began herding the girls off of the roof top and down the stairs as Wally charged the crowd with a loud battle cry.
Roy smirked as he jumped in as well. For the next ten minutes Wally and Roy began beating the hoodlums senseless. By that time they were both loosing there breath and Richard had yet to return. They had their back to the wall, enclosed in a pocket of thugs. Twenty thugs were down already but they were getting tired. "Damn it. Where is Richard when you need him?" Roy muttered clenching his fists. "You know what they say. Speak of the devil and he will appear." Wally said as suddenly a bunch of loud creepy cackling echoed over the roof top.
"Well said." Roy replied with smirk. Suddenly a bunch of ... flash bombs went off, blinding the thugs. Richard jumped between the crowd and his brothers with things attached to his back. "Sorry it took me so long. You wouldn't believe how long it takes to make nunchucks, a bow staff and some decent gloves out of the shit they got here." Richard said with a small smile.
"Nunchucks?" Wally asked with wide eyes. Richard nodded and tossed him a pair of crudely made nunchucks. He then tossed the long poorly crafted bow staff to Roy, before slipping on some gloves that looked oddly like... oven mitts? "Alright boys. Let's get back to the ass kicking." Roy said his energy returning. The crowd gasped and soon the trio jumped in; once again kicking ass. Ten minutes later the trio were standing over the 'supposed' leaders of the Bloody Fang Gang.
"Listen and listen good, you scumbags. If we ever see you around our school again, there will be consequences!" Roy declared holding the end of his bow staff at the end of the guys neck. "Ya or if we ever hear of you causing trouble, you'll be dealing with us!" Wally said holding his nunchucks up threateningly. Richard was holding the final guy by the collar but apparently it wasn't threatening enough because the idiot had to make a comment about Richard's height. "What you gonna do if we do something wrong shorty? Call in all of your leprechaun friends and host a tea party?" He asked knowing not what he had done.
Richard's eye twitched before he threw the guy closer to the edge. He hung him over and glared at the guy. "No! What I will do however is throw you down this building, breaking all of your bones. I will then hang your corpse for all to see, as a reminder of what not to do!" Richard growled through his teeth. Five minutes later Roy and Wally had finally retrieved the man from his self called 'leprechaun captor."
Hours later the boys sat in their still in complete base talking about the events of the day. "So good work today boys. No civilians were injured. We took down a gang. Hell I think we even got in good with the principal. Today was a success." Roy stated with a small smile. "You forgot the part where we found a potential name for Dickie's new secret idenitity. Given to him by the idiot thug." Wally said pausing for dramatic effects. "The Evil Leprechaun!" He said after a moment of silence.
Richard rolled his eyes as did Roy. "For the last time. I am not going out as the Evil Leprechaun!" Richard complained as Wally awed. "But why? I mean it'd be perfect for you. So short and evil." Wally shot at him. "That's like calling the Joker, Boso just because he's a clown. Trust me, he doesn't find it very funny." Richard said with a small shudder.
"Speaking of which. How long till the materials for our costumes come in?" Roy asked as Wally smiled. "Tomorrow morning. Then we get to start sewing!" Wally proclaimed happily. Roy smiled at the thought as he saw a flash back of a tattoo. It was on one of the many thugs he had knocked out. It was on his arm and it was the word 'Oath.' it black bold letters to show it's importance.
"Ya but if we're all gonna be heroes, we're gonna need a team name. You know so people will be able to talk about all three of us at the same time." Richard said as Wally thought for a moment. "Speedster and his two back up boys!" He proclaimed as Richard shook his head. "No. I was thinking SAB, for Super Awesome Birds." Richard shot which Wally stuck his tongue out and shook his head. They continued bickering over names as Roy kept replaying the tattoo over and over in his head.
"Oath." He finally said with a small smile. "Oath?" Richard asked with a raised eyebrow. "Only Able To Help." Roy explained as Wally nodded. "I like it." He proclaimed as Richard smiled. "Most Asterous name ever!" He said in agreement. The trio smiled proudly as they began to discus Oath and their future as heroes.
Alright guys the mood might've shifted in the middle of the chapter. Sorry about that. Wrote the first part before I got sick. Then today I had an interesting day at school. In fact this chapter's dedicated to my principal Mrs. Harkreader.(Hope she's not mad I used her name.) She's really cool, and I got pissed off at her for no good reason. She's a good person and that's why I used her.
Because seriously for a cool team of super heroes going to school, you need a super cool principal to respect them. Sorry again Mrs. Harkreader and Thanks for everything as well. Well one last thing. Today was my b-day and I made it a priority to update for you all. Consider it my way of thanking you all. All reviews on this chapter are counted as presents. I hope to collect a lot :) Ja Ne
