Dick watched as Wally ran to the other side of the work out gym and gave him the thumbs up. Nodding he sat behind the tennis ball launcher and powered up the machine while grabbing a ball.
"What are you guys doing?", Connor asked as he approached Dick from behind.
"Dodge ball!", Wally yelled from the other side of the room while Dick chuckled.
"Your kidding right?", Dick looked up at him and dropped a tennis ball into the launcher, as the speeding belt caught the ball it was whipped down the way at Wally who dodged it with a smirk.
"Missed me!", he yelled making Dick smirk and offer the second launcher to Connor.
"He is the only one fast enough to dodge them, care to work off some stress?", Connor shrugged and sat down behind his own launcher.
"Two? Oh man I'm gunna need my goggles today", the young speedster pulled his goggles down and smacked his hands together. "Bring it on!", he yelled.
As Dick and Connor launched multiple tennis balls down the gym towards Wally they each knew in the back of their minds that what they had witnessed in the main hall would not go away. The life of being a hero was not an easy one but it was one they had come to know, and would always know. They had to remember that villains were villains and regardless of their age or gender they were targets. But for this brief time they could be kids and not care about what life had waiting for them outside that gym.
Roy felt anger rise within him as he entered the detainment hall, there was a main control center and in front of that were three cells. The white in the room was enough to drive you insane with the fluorescent lighting. But instead of bars the front of the cells were a sheet of glass making them look like viewing rooms. There was no more then a cot in each room, but that wasn't the worst thing about this place. The worst thing was the sight of Jade in the center cell.
She was on the cot, her back against the wall and her knees hugged tightly against her chest. Jade was a tough female, Roy had seen her take hits that could take down some men. Physically she was capable of things that girls her age wouldn't even be able to fathom being able to do. But mentally, emotionally she was still able to be hurt, and today she had been hurt deeply. It was a wound that there was no real medicine for and Roy would be lying if he said seeing her like this didn't break him.
Punching a few keys on the main control panel he watched as the cell door slid back. Entering the cell he kneeled in front of her uncertain of what he should do to comfort her. Touching her ankle gently he watched as she lifted her head and looked down at him. The tears in her eyes that she refused to let fall said everything and before he even thought of what he was doing he kissed her. She flinched at the sudden action but he felt her relax as he pulled back and looked into her eyes.
"I cant leave you here", scooping her up into his arms he turned back towards the open door to the cell. Jade wrapped her arms around his shoulders and tucked her face into his neck as he kissed her hair. Looking up to the door he stopped at the sight of Kaldur who stood in the open door way.
"Roy?", he looked like he was at war with something but Roy wasn't about to be told to leave her here.
"Get out of my way", he growled, his hold tightening on Jade as if she was going to be taken from him.
"I am not here to stop you I was coming to check on her", he lifted his hands in a motion of surrender, Roy relaxed slightly but did not move as he watched Kaldur.
"She isn't a threat to us", he tried to reason but could see the hesitation in the atlantean as he remained in the door way.
"Were are you taking her?".
"I brought her here to protect her not imprison her, so I'm taking her home", Kaldur lowered his hands slowly.
"There is a spare room down the living quarters hall she can rest there, but you need to come and speak with the League", he stepped aside and Roy thought for a moment. Looking down at Jade he decided not to put up a fight with this, regardless of his want to keep her from being harmed further he had other obligations. And after his out burst with Batman he was sure he had a lot of explaining to do.
"Thank you Kaldur", he left the detainment area and headed for the living quarters.
Artemis entered the gym out of pure curiosity after hearing a rather loud crashing sound from within. Opening the two swinging doors slowly she dove for the mats as a three pound weight went flying past.
"Civilian on the battle field!", she heard Robin yell from somewhere as she slowly lifted her head. Wally appeared beside her his hand extended, reaching up she stopped completely at the sight of the speedster. He was wearing a sparring helmet that had an emergency cone duck taped to the top, arm guards, a chest guard that had a duck tape lightning bolt on it and knee pads.
"What the heck are you wearing?", he chuckled as he helped her to her feet and dragged her behind a pillar.
"You have happened upon a battle field, but you are safe now", he looked around the pillar and as Artemis was about to call him a string of names a canister landed beside them and tick smoke surrounded them. "Gas!", Wally yelled and grabbed her and ran for another pillar.
"Admit defeat", was that Connor? Artemis looked at Wally as he took off his helmet and put it on her head.
"What is going on?", she watched him like he was crazy as he smirked.
"It is the barbarians and the ninjas they are attacking, help me fend them off", he tossed a bow and a quiver of foam arrows to her and Artemis became very concerned.
"The elves can not help you speed demon!", she heard Robin yell.
"He did not just call me an elf", she growled and looked around the pillar. Across the gym she could see Robin and had to stop her self from laughing. He had what looked like a towel wrapped around his head to look like a ninja head cover, two pool noodles duck taped to his back to look like swords, and a make shift tool belt of what looked like smoke cans.
"An alliance, the elves and the speed demons?", he looked at her and Artemis rolled her eyes.
"Why not ill go along", she looked back around the pillar and got a sight of Connor, this time she laughed, hard. He was shirtless to start but across his chest with what she believed to be dry erase board marker was the 's' shield, though he still had on his cargo pants he had a gym towel wrapped around his waist like a kilt, and a piece of clothe wrapped around his forehead.
Sparing a look around the gym she took in the after math, tennis balls littered the room, machines were over turned, equipment was spread out, and mats were set up like barriers. Looking at Wally as he looked at her she couldn't help but laugh, his grin at her made her slow to catch her breath.
"What started all this?".
"I have no idea", he chuckled, as they sat shoulder to shoulder hiding behind the pillar. "But your laughing", he looked at her and she looked at him. Leaning over he lifted his hand and placed it on her cheek as he pressed his lips to hers, Artemis didn't move as her eyes fluttered closed.
As her eyes opened slowly she pulled back and stared into his eyes as he smiled, but the moment was quickly forgotten as they felt eyes on them. Turning their heads they looked to see both Robin and Connor standing a few feet from them, arms crossed and huge smiles on their faces.
"Alliance, so that is what they are calling it these days?", Dick chuckled.
"Does this mean that they are going to make armies of speed elves?", Dick looked at Connor who started laughing but silenced quickly when they heard the main doors open.
"What in theā¦", they all froze at the sound of Black Canary's voice.
"Bail", Robin yelled and threw down a smoke can, the others coughed at the nasty mixture of smoke.
"What? Rob you moron.", Wally grabbed Artemis's hand and ran for the locker room, Connor close behind them. As they entered the locker room Wally pulled up short as he ran into Dick, Artemis running into him and Connor slamming into all of them.
"Next time please put on your break lights", Artemis grumbled as the teens looked to see what stopped the boy wonder. There in front of them stood Green Arrow, a look of utter confusion as he looked at them.
"Though I really want to ask, I am going to refrain and just say that you should all be in bed", he looked at each of them and then teens nodded, filing out of the locker room quickly. As he went to walk towards the door to the gym he stopped as Dinah entered the locker room looking as confused as him.
"Did anyone else come through here?", Oliver looked in the direction the teens just vanished through and then looked at Dinah and shook his head with a smile.
"Nope".
