Speedy sat nervously on the couch, trying to arrange his body right so Robin couldn't see the hickey on his neck.

Robin didn't need to see it. "Speedy, I'm pretty sure you know why I called you here." He began. Speedy nodded and said, "You want me to stop seeing Cheshire."

Robin sighed. "Look, Speedy, I appreciate that, for once, you are in a monogamous relationship. But with her? Speedy, Cheshire is trouble, and a wanted villain." Speedy nodded and said, "Robin, I am not an idiot. I knew all of this before the mess started." "Then why did you keep it up?"

Speedy grinned sheepishly. "Would you believe the sex is good?" Robin groaned. "I didn't need to hear that." He said.

Speedy snickered. "Okay, Dick, I'll admit, I'm sorry for starting it. But... well... have you ever tried breaking up with an assassin who can kill you, but won't?" Robin raised his eyebrows. "How do you know the last fact?" He said. Speedy became serious. "Its... a long story. But, judging by that look on your face, I have to tell it. Remember that time I was attacked a month ago?"

Epic flashback!

Speedy was feeling strangely paranoid. He gripped his bow tighter and yelled, "Whoever the hell you are, stop hiding and show yourself!"

Cheshire dropped down from the tree. He automatically let his guard down. "Oh, hi Ches, what are you-" "Get down!" Cheshire jumped him and pinned him down. Her claws were a millimeter from his face.

Speedy felt very, very terrified at that moment. "Jade, what are you doing?" He asked. Cheshire just kept him pinned for what seemed like hours. Then she sighed and said, "I can't do it." She withdrew her claws and got off of him. "Cheshire, what the hell!" Speedy got up.

Cheshire turned around, her face was furious. "I'll tell you. I just got paid one million dollars to kill you." Speedy went pale. She whipped off her mask. "Roy, I told myself over and over again I could do it. But I just can't!" Cheshire was breathing hard, and Speedy saw one tear drip down her cheek.

Speedy swallowed nervously. "Why'd you take the hit then?" He said. "Its my job. I never miss a mark. But this time, I'm giving it up." Cheshire said. Then she laughed bitterly. "You shouldn't have let your guard down. And I shouldn't have let this get so confusing."

Then she vanished.

End of the epic flashback!

Robin was sure that his eyes were huge after Speedy finished telling him the story. "Roy... that's almost unbelievable." "I thought so to. I did the research and it was all true." Speedy looked depressed. "I know she's a good girl, deep inside. And well... she's the reason I stopped... you know..."

Speedy lifted down one of his gloves slightly, revealing those old scars where a needle had gone in. Robin nodded, still in shock. "Speedy, I still have to forbid you from seeing her. No matter what you two feel about each other." Speedy nodded back. "I get it, Dick." Then he adopted his trademark smirk. "That just means I have to work better at not getting caught."

Robin groaned and face palmed.

(Speedy will never learn.

By the way, something you should know: during a free period I got epically bored and decided to make kids (Ocs, most of them) for all the members of the syndicate. Then I did the same for the titans, but I added in a couple canon characters. So now I'm intending on writing a 'in the future kids' story sooner or later... please, for the love of my sanity, don't shoot me.

Plus, some of the kids people would have *cough Blackfire and Johnny cough * would be SMOKING... just saying.

So sorry I didn't update until now, the school computers are lame.

Bye byes! Remember to review!
