(Okay, this one is kinda dramatic.

WARNING: Drug use.)

Speedy grabbed the needle and glanced at the door again. He had made double sure that the door was locked- if Bumblebee found him, he didn't even want to KNOW the consequences.

He pulled off his glove and prepared to stick the needle into his arm-

"Speedy, what the HELL do you think you are doing!"

Speedy jumped and dropped the needle.

Cheshire was in his window- and she looked downright pissed. She strode over and broke the syringe under her foot, her trademark smile missing and her eyes blazing with anger.

Speedy grinned sheepishly and said, "Hey, Jade... uh... I thought you were on assignment." "Don't change the subject, Roy." She pointed at the remains of the needle. "What is that?" She demanded. Speedy sighed and said, "Heroin... I'm sorry, Jade."

Speedy felt her claws at her throat. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't tear out your throat." Cheshire growled. "Uh... cuz it would KILL me?" Speedy said. "I told you not... no, you told ME you wouldn't do that anymore!" Cheshire said, blinking away a couple tears, but one still escaped.

Speedy blinked in surprise. "Ches... are you crying?" He asked, gently brushing away the tear. Cheshire put her claws away. "Yes, I am. I know that Johnny shoots up every now and then, but that's because he doesn't have any repercussions. And I've seen junkies before, its not pretty at all. Please Roy, stop this." Speedy glanced at the needle, then reached into his drawer and handed her a small case of the stuff.

"Take it away, Cheshire. I can't do it myself." His voice was barely above a whisper. Cheshire moved to the window, where she pulled a small vial of acid out of her belt and sprinkled it on the case. The case began burning away and Cheshire tossed it into the water outside. "There. You couldn't get it back even if you tried." She said, trying to sound confident.

Speedy looked at Cheshire and smiled. "You have really, really good timing- woah!" Cheshire was now sitting on his lap. "What drove you to shoot up this time?" She asked. Speedy sighed and said, "Green Arrow is chose another Speedy. A girl Speedy."

Cheshire gasped and said, "Speedy, I didn't know... I'm sorry." "Its okay, she's a good kid, and really good at what she does." Speedy looked into Cheshire's eyes and said, "Ches... how mad would you be if I told you I was considering switching codenames?"

Cheshire bit her lip and thought for a second. "What are you planning to choose?" She asked. "Arsenal." "I like it. But... I didn't come all the way to Steel just to yell at you and discuss code names." "Then what was it- mmmph!"

Just so you know, 'mmph' is the noise made when someone is suddenly kissed.

(A glimpse into the future, perhaps?

Also, can someone PLEASE tell me what Kid Flash's adult code name is? I can't find it.

Bye byes! Remember to review!)
