-Okay I never expected that I would be anything like the man that raised me. Not saying he's a bad guy. Just not what I expected to be when I grew up. I only wanted to be an average girl that could make friends. The fact of the matter is there are bad guys everywhere and like the arrow I appear to attract it.-
In a hospital in the middle of the night. I laid totally passed out in one of the hospital beds. I was without my mask and in the normal hospital get up. In the corner of the room sat one of my close friends Alicia. She was staring down at her phone typing away. My eyes began to open and blink at a constant pace. I began to wonder where I was and how I got here. I looked around and saw alicia in the corner.
"When did I get here," I asked.
"Oh my gawd girl! You almost gave me a heart attack," she squealed.
"What happened," I asked trying to understand what's going on.
"Well when the ambulances arrived we were released from our classes. As we were leaving the school I saw you being carried by a man in green. Specifically the GREEN ARROW."
-Well that explains why I don't have a mask and why she has no idea who I really am-
"What the hell were you doing out there girl," Alicia yelled. "You could've died chica.
"I had to leave school for a doctor appointment," I began to say. "I just came back at a really bad time."
"Well thank God the Green Arrow showed up when he did or you could've died," Alicia said with a worried expression. "I don't know what I would've done."
-If she only knew how much danger I was really in. How much danger we all were in-
Hours pass and I finally reach my house. The hospital released me really quickly I only had a couple bruises. Definitely not something worth an over night stay. They did say I was dehydrated but that's about it. I wonder if that water guy sucked the life out of me. I finally get home and walk through the giant front doors.
-Oh I might've forgotten to mention I am kinda sorta rich and live in a mansion-
On my dining room table sits a vase full of daisies. With it a note.
~Hey Aria heard about your debut. So I brought you some flowers. Hopefully daisies fit your new "style." Anyways this may not be the only gift I have for you. Check the basement. Love Ollie. PS: Don't say I never gave you anything~
I open my basement door and start to walk down the stairs. The light flickers on with a slight hum. The bottom of the steps open up to a giant room. In the center of the room sat a glass case. In it a mannequin. A hooded Kevlar jacket with a mask. The jacket graded from black to white from bottom to top. The mask did the same from left to right. The leggings were also made of Kevlar but were full black. With it sat a white bow but now arrows in sight. Next to the case sat a group of computer monitors. They appeared to be tracking every 911 alert within the city. It analyzed everyone and put a threat level to each. Another not sat on the desk.
~Okay I might be wasting a little bit of paper but I think saying this is more important than a tiny piece of tree. Don't under any circumstance take on someone out of your league. I have had too many people close to me die and I will not let it happen to you~
-Well that wasn't personal at all-
I grab the note and store it away in the desk it was sitting on.
The next day I arrived at the school. There were a lot of construction equipment littered across the courtyard. Policemen were at every door. Some at the gates at the entrance. It appears the city knows that the school is in danger. That this wasn't just a fluke.
"Hey Aria," yelled a waiving an enthusiastic Rory. Rory runs up to me. -Well at least his kind of running-
He was wearing another black shirt with camo pants. On his shirt laid a lantern ring.
"I never saw you come back yesterday. I was completely worried," he said with a gracious look on his face.
"Yeah I had to leave for a sec. My mom said I needed to come home for a sec. I came back to that water freak terrorizing the police," I said trying to sound like normal. I had a giant fake smile on my face. If this kid knew any better he would've caught me red handed right there.
School dragged on. I sat there waiting for the darkness to come again. It never did I realized it halfway through the school day. In response I decide to play hooky and search for clues, not as Aria but as Light-Speed.
-I think it's time to ask for a small amount of assistance-
