Green Arrow came into the main hall and smiled as he saw Red Arrow, but quickly drew up short as the young hero turned to face him. He could now see a figure standing behind his old protégé, but he could not make out who it was.
"Oliver let me explai-", he quieted as Batman came to stand beside Oliver.
"Why is she here?", the dark knight asked as he narrowed his eyes.
"She?", Oliver stood completely confused as he looked between Roy and Bruce.
"She needs protection", he looked to Jade as she stood at his side, she was dressed in his clothing. A pair of gym pants she had to tie tightly to keep from falling off of her, a beater and a hooded sweatshirt. Lifting her hands she slowly removed the hood and looked to the two leaguers with uncertain eyes.
"Roy what is going on?", Oliver looked to him and Roy took a deep breath preparing to explain him self.
"Cheshire is a criminal, bringing her here was a mistake", Batman stepped forward but paused when he saw Roy put his arm out and tuck Jade behind him, his free hand dropping to his compact bow at his side. "Would you fight me Red Arrow?", Batman raised an eyebrow as the teen before him watched him carefully his hand not moving from his bow.
"If you try to hurt Jade…..yes", he heard Jade gasp behind him and place a hand on his shoulder as if she were about to interject.
"What's going on out here?", they looked up as Wally entered the hall, when he caught sight of Cheshire behind Roy his eyes widened and he turned and vanished back down the hall. It was obvious that he was going to wake the others and if that was the case, Roy had to work quickly.
"Listen she needs our protection the shadows are after her", he looked past Batman to Green Arrow, the Bat was stubborn so that made Oliver his only hope.
"We don't protect the enemy", Batman's words were stern, he was not going to budge.
"Roy I should go, they have no reason to trust me and I cant blame them", he looked over his shoulder to Jade as she shook her head, the hurt in her eyes making his anger rise.
"Oliver please", he turned his head back to look to his old mentor, but as Green Arrow came forward motion to his left had Roy grabbing his bow. He made sure Jade was shielded as he turned to see the team entering, Artemis stopping and drawing up her bow.
"What is she doing here!", Roy responded instantly and knocked a punch arrow aiming it for Artemis who had the same arrow knocked and pointed at Jade. Robin and Kaldur stood by beside Artemis while Connor, Wally and M'gann stood back.
"That's enough!", Roy spared a glance to Green Arrow as he brushed past Batman to gain attention. "Artemis lower your bow", he looked to his protégé who shook her head.
"The traitor first", she growled but before either could react Wally did his super speed thing and appeared near Green Arrow with both Artemis and Roy's quivers and arrows. "Wally what are you doing?", she released her bow string and looked to him.
"She is your sister Artie, and Roy isn't a traitor he wouldn't put anyone in danger without a good damn reason. Well that is what I'm hoping…", Wally looked to his friend who in turn lowered his bow and reattached it at his side.
"Jade", he looked over his shoulder, sure now that she would be safe to stand beside him. With her injury she was not going to be able to fend off attacks easily, so he would do his best to keep her safe. Stepping out from behind him she came to his side and looked to her sister who was frowning and had folded her arms over her chest and popped a hip out to the side. But as she caught sight of Jade's condition her face seemed to soften and before she could stop her self she took a few steps forward.
"Sports Master", Jade almost whispered and Artemis covered her mouth. The team remained quiet as the two seemed to have a moment of silent understanding.
"Why are you here?", Batman spoke his tone gaining on agitated as he watched Jade.
"She is here because-".
"I'm here because the Joker is looking for another toy, he wants to strike close to home and word through the street is he is targeting one of the side kicks-", she paused at the sound of Roy growling beside her, "One of the young heroes. Sports Master and the shadows wanted me to hand over Artemis, when she was weak the plan was to collect her and turn her against the rest of you.". She watched as Artemis shook her head and stepped back Wally appearing at her side. "I refused and for that I was punished…..but to refuse an order from the Shadows the only punishment is…..".
"Death", she looked to Batman as he finished what she was going to say.
"I cant hand over my sister, I know what he did to you Robin", the team looked to Robin as he lowered his chin. "Artie I'm not asking for forgiveness for the things I have done, or for abandoning you, but please believe me now".
"Connor, Kaldur take Cheshire down to the detainment cells-".
"No-".
"Red Arrow you are to remember she is a criminal and until we can confirm her story we can not risk allowing her to roam the mountain", Jade looked to Roy and shook her head as Connor approached with Kaldur to escort her.
"I am unarmed and will go quietly", she looked to Batman who nodded. Walking between the two teens she left Roy's side as Green Arrow approached him.
"Oliver", he stopped as his old mentor lifted his hand.
"Why didn't you come to me Roy? And what were you thinking?", he stood quietly as Oliver reprimanded him but looked past him as he saw Artemis approach them. Their mentor turned to look down at her as she bit her bottom lip as if thinking on what to say.
"How can you trust her?", she asked as she tried to avoid the tears that stung her eyes.
"How can you not? Those bruises and cuts, she got them protecting you. Time to return the favor Artemis, talk to her", he watched as the others all stood still, not knowing what to do. "And Oliver….I'm sorry I didn't come to you, but honestly what would you have said? She isn't Cheshire to me she is Jade and she isn't a criminal", his old mentor watched him and then sighed.
"So Janie didn't work out?", Roy almost burst into laughs as he remembered the interrupted night.
"Uhm, about that….", he trailed off but left it at that when Batman came towards them. "I never let her see where the zeta tube was, she was blindfolded till we arrived here.".
"It doesn't matter, you put the team in danger-".
"Get off my back Bats", he pushed past the mentors and headed to the one place he needed to be, beside Jade.
"Roy do you know what you have done", Oliver followed him down the hall way, staying just a few steps back. When the teenager was cornered he could get violent so keeping some distance was a wise decision.
"Oliver if Dinah turned against the League…..could you turn your back on her?", he stopped and turned to face his old mentor. Oliver stopped to watch as he asked him the one question he wasn't sure he could answer.
"Dinah would never-".
"If she did, could you?", he removed his domino mask to look to his "Uncle".
"She has tried to kill you Roy and your team mates".
"That was before, she helped me find Robin, Ivy, and now she is trying to protect Artemis!", the look in Roy's eyes, the way he paced as he tried to speak to Oliver had the man closing his eyes and rubbing his temple.
"Your in love with her", the sound of Roy coming to a stop made his Uncle look up. The uncertainty and fear in the boys eyes had Oliver's heart aching for him, the road he was on was not an easy one. Villains and Heroes weren't meant to be together, but some where in the cosmos they found each other, but the question was. Could they make it?
"I have to go", Oliver did not stop him as the young archer turned and walked away, he had a lot to think about. And if he was worried for her there was no way he could figure anything else out.
Artemis stood outside the detainment hall and stared at the closed doors, the red beacon above it now blinked to mark there was a prisoner inside. Swallowing the lump in her throat she started pacing back and forth.
"Take a deep breath, it usually helps", she looked up at the red archer's voice. The tears in her eyes were quickly blinked away as she folded her arms over her chest.
"I just found out my sister is shacking up with my archer competition, the shadows want to hand me over to the should be straight jacketed Joker, and my father will not only allow it but throws in 'hey lets use her as a mole' as well. So you tell me will a deep breath really help?", Roy couldn't help the lop sided grin as he looked to the floor.
"Nah, it wont help at all.", he shrugged and walked over to the closed door but stopped.
"Yeah that's how far I got to", she muttered.
"She really wants to protect you Artemis", he looked at her over his shoulder to her and watched as she lifted her eyes to meet his.
"But I have the team, she doesn't have anyone. The shadows will find her and they will kill her", tears collected in the corner of her eyes.
"Your wrong about one thing though Artemis", he turned back to face the door.
"And what is that?", she asked sarcastically.
"She has me and she always will", was all he said before slipping through the door. Artemis stood completely shocked and stared at the door that the archer vanished behind, what was the team going to do?
Well I hope you guys enjoyed and please remember to review before leaving the Fanfic hehehehehe till next time!
