Honestly this came out completely at random last night.
Mostly because I am still pissed at DC for killing off Lian when part of Star city was destroyed, but whatever it's there story. STILL SERIOUSLY MAD. Also for those that don't know a long time ago in a land not so far from this one Roy Harper was addicted to heroin. It's the truth! Curse my comic book nerdage.
So guess what this one is about! Don't worry there is total WallyArtey fluff at the end. :D
As per usual: NOT MINE
Oh and please review with ideas! I am curious as to see what you guys want them to do.
No one had heard from Roy in a year.
Some thought he went into rehab again.
Some just thought he was completely lost.
They knew he was back at it.
But the small child squirming in his arms had been a surprise.
Megan squealed, "What's her name?"
"Her name is Lian." He smiled. That was something that rarely happened.
Artemis rolled her eyes.
Wally squeezed her hand.
Rob was quiet. Megan took the baby into her arms and Smallville began to play with the tiny girl's fingers.
Those two, Small-no Conner and Megan, they looked like parents. Not Roy, never him. She can tell that he is still using. The look in his eyes, the nervous twitch his finger gave it away. She's spent enough time around drug addicts to know. College is a breeding ground for such things.
Rob looked at her baiting her to say something about it. Of course that is why they were here in the first place…but no one expected the tiny bundle. Wally squeezed her hand again. Megan and Conner continued being almost parents.
"You should put her up for adoption." She finally said.
The world stopped.
Roy shot her a glare, "You don't know me. So don't judge."
"I can tell your using." She said pointing towards his arm, "a child should never be around that."
Roy opened his mouth, but Robin interrupted him, "Roy don't lie. I had a feeling you were back at it. And now this further complicates things," he pointed towards the child, "are you a complete idiot? How dare you bring a child into the world with the way that you are now?"
Lian cried, Megan attempted to comfort her.
Wally tried to smile as he placed a gentle hand on his friend's shoulder, "please," he choked out, "please we…just don't want you to be like this."
"We just want what is best for you." Kaldur responded, "and for her as well."
Artemis had never been a big fan of kids, but she knew if Wally put his mind to something, it was really hard for her to say no.
And with that said, she never expected in all her years to be standing in the kitchen of her boyfriend's apartment holding up a baby in the sink to give it a bath.
Wally sang some stupid nursery rhyme and Lian gave an unsure kick at the bathwater.
"Are we done Mr. Mom?" She snapped out, "My arms are tired. Why couldn't Roy have appeared when the kid could sit up?"
Wally gave the little girl a bop on the nose, "Auntie Artemis is just cranky because she didn't expect to take care of you and we had to put having sex on hold. All done~"
"What did you just call me?" she said pulling the child out of the water as he wrapped the towel around her.
"Auntie…"
"You are such a girl!" she snapped placing the little one on the make shift change table.
Wally grinned, "Well someone has to be."
And as they dress the little girl, Artemis cannot help but smile.
All of this seems right.
And she doesn't ever want it too end.
