Waiting for the League to acknowledge his presence Roy stood looking over each of the members that had come to the mountain. Batman and Superman were a given but Martian Man Hunter, Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Red Tornado were also present. When Superman looked in his direction he straightened his spine and prepared for the lashing her was about to get.
"We have discussed the situation and have found that the Joker is on the move again, also the Shadows have scouts out in search of Cheshire. Though this proves her story we are still concerned about your relationship with her.", he lowered his jaw as he listened to Superman.
"What is your relationship with her?", Batman emphasized the question.
"My relationship with Cheshire started as enemy, but it became sexual and then emotional. I accept any punishment but know that I shared no Intel with her that would jeopardize the league, my identity even remained secret till recently.", he squared his shoulders and waited for the League to discuss.
"Though his actions are less then appropriate he is not a traitor", Black Canary voiced her opinion and Roy almost thanked her for backing him.
"You think he should go without punishment?", Batman turned to look at her.
"No but I hardly think removing him completely is the answer", she looked to Oliver as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Fine, then Roy, your grounded", the words that left Superman almost made Roy fall over out of being stunned.
"Grounded?".
"Grounded?", he looked to Batman as he responded in the same fashion.
"Yes, no patrolling, missions, or involvement in the team for a few weeks. In other words, you are grounded", he nodded as Superman spoke.
"But step lightly Roy, we are going easy on you this time, next time it wont be the same.".
"There wont be a next time", he said to Batman before turning to leave.

Jade sat up slowly as the door to her temporary bed room opened, expecting to see Roy she was shocked to meet eyes with her sister. Artemis stood in the door way for a moment a plate in her hand before she slipped inside and closed the door.
"I thought you might be hungry?", regardless her age Artemis always looked like that little girl who would hug her teddy bear when she was scared to Jade.
"Starving", she said as she rested back against the head board and patted the bed. Artemis walked over to the bed and sat down, turning she offered the plate over and Jade couldn't help but smile. "Peanut butter and jelly, you remembered", she looked to her little sister who had a smile on her face.
"I made it with your favorite, grape", picking up a half of the sandwich Jade smiled and offered it to her.
"Sandwich time?", Artemis accepted the offering and nodded. They ate together in silence neither really sure of how to start a conversation.
"Thank you", Jade looked up as she heard her sister.
"Don't thank me, I should be asking for your forgiveness. I abandoned you in that hell, with him, knowing he was a monster. I'm so sorry Artemis.", she watched as the young archer nodded slowly and set the empty plate aside.
"I forgive you", again that awkward silence rose but this time Artemis didn't allow it, "So Roy huh?". Jade couldn't help the soft laugh as she rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Yeah about him….".
"Do you care about him?", Jade looked to her and then looked away.
"Yes I do".

Wally munched on a stack of wings while Dick sat beside him and enjoyed a Twinkie he was dipping in a jar of peanut butter he had found out on the counter. The sight was something Roy wasn't entirely prepared for as he entered the kitchen.
"Wings, Twinkies and peanut butter at midnight? When are you due?", the two stopped mid bite and looked at each other before looking back at him.
"How'd the meeting go?", he rolled his eyes at Dick and gave him a you-already-know-so-don't-ask look.
"That good huh?", he looked at Wally and then put two and two together at the same moment Dick did.
"We got nailed snooping by Martian Man Hunter and got sent to our rooms", he shrugged and took a bite of Twinkie into his mouth. Roy went to the fridge as Wally grumbled in irritation letting the archer know a blow up was about to happen.
"They sent us to our rooms", he threw his hands up and Dick flinched as a barbeque sauce splashed on his cheek.
"Yeah well at least they didn't ground you", Roy grabbed a soda and turned around, kicking the fridge shut with his heel. Both teens looked at him in utter shock before leaning forward for more. "No missions, patrol, etcetera for a while till they feel they can trust me not to..", he looked for something to fill in the blank.
"Bang anymore bad guys?". he looked at Wally as Dick chuckled.
"That's bad girls…unless you uhh?", Dick smirked at him and Roy almost felt tempted to knock the sunglasses off the younger teens face.
"There is just Jade, no one else", he took a sip from his soda and then cracked his neck. "And speaking of I should probably get some food for her", he turned towards the cabinet.
"Doesn't anyone sleep around here?", they all looked to Black Canary as she folded her arms over her chest. "Its late, hit the beds or I'm gunna knock some heads", with that she turned on her heel and left the kitchen the boys all looking shocked.
"I so coulda said something but she scares me", with that Wally slipped off his stool and ran his plate to the sink before bidding good night and vanishing. Dick watched his friend vacate and moved to follow, putting away the peanut butter he looked over to Roy as the older teen looked over the food in the cabinet.
"Artemis already brought her something to eat, see you in the morning", leaving the kitchen Dick smirked as he heard the cabinet close and Roy move to leave the kitchen as well.
…...
Opening the door slowly Roy peeked into Jade's room to see her and Artemis both on the bed passed out cold. Jade was resting up against the head board and Artemis's head was at the bottom of the bed. Smirking he left them alone and carefully closed the door before realizing he didn't know were he was going to sleep for the night. Walking down the hall he headed for the lounge, the chairs were comfortable enough there.
He could easily return to his apartment to sleep what was left of the night but that would be to far from Jade. So he opted for the ugly green couch and a throw blanket instead of his king sized bed that was covered in satin sheets. Stretching as he entered the lounge he sat down on the couch and removed his shirt and boots.
"Hello kinked neck and sore back", he muttered before laying down and closing his eyes, exhaustion over taking him to quickly.
