2011. Mia is 18.

Light shined through the blinds and a small crack of light stopped right over Mia's eyes forcing her to wake up. She groans and tries to go back to sleep but the sun wasn't having any of it. Kicking off the covers, Mia sits up and stretches out her sore muscles then rubs the sleep out of her eyes. After a few minutes of contemplating whether she should get up and start the day or go back to sleep and do nothing, she chose the former.

Mia changes out of her pajamas and into an oversize t-shirt from the closet while heading out of her room. The smell of breakfast made her fully awake causing her to skip into the kitchen. When she arrived in the kitchen, a small smile appears on her face and went to hug the shirtless pajama pants wearing man cooking bacon. She wraps her arms around his waist and buries her face in his back.

He chuckles "Good morning."

"Morning Roy" Mia snuggles in deeper.

"Sleep well?"

"You could say that."

Mia lowkey tried to grab a piece of bacon but Roy slaps her hand away. Next she tried teleporting the bacon to her hand and Roy was ready for that time too. When the bacon was in her hand, he quickly snatches it away making Mia whine.

"Aw, come on Roy. I'm hungry."

"You can wait a few more minutes."

"You know I can just teleport to Barry's house and have breakfast there" Mia lets go of Roy and sat down at the kitchen table.

"Yeah I know but how are you going to explain to him why you have a hickey on your neck and why you're wearing a shirt that's too big for you" Roy counters.

Mia got quiet and pouts. Roy laughs a little then turns off the oven and places eggs, pancakes, toast and bacon on the table. Mia gets up to grab plates, silverware, cups and apple juice from their respected places and sets them at the table. Mia rests her legs on Roy's lap as she enjoys breakfast. Soon her phone starts to ring.

"Who's calling you this early in the morning?"

"It's only 8:30 Roy" she answers her phone "Hello?"

'Mia I need your help with something.'

"Hey cuz, what'd you need help with?" "He forgot it was Valentine's Day."

"Is that Wally?" Roy asks.

She nods and mouths "I think he forgot it's Valentine's Day today."

'Mia!'

"Sorry, what was that Wally?"

'Stop flirting with Roy and help me!'

"How do you even know I'm with Roy? I could be just watching T.V. right now or reading a book."

'Because you two have been inseparable since New Years and I have no idea why.'

"That's because we're dating doofus" "Whatever. So why am I always the one who has to help you with Artemis?"

'Because you two are alike and great friends. Plus you're my cousin and you love me.'

"Damn, he's got me there" "Alright it's still early in the morning so I think you might be able to pulls this off."

'Thank you!'

"Don't thank me just yet. I'm just getting the things you need, you have to be the one to get it right."

'Ok, ok. What do I have to do?'

"I can call in a few favors for you but you have to get them yourself. Got it?"

'You're the best Mia.'

"I know. Now go before Artemis learns that you forgot it's Valentine's Day."

'I'll call you afterwards.'

"Bye Wally."

'Later Mia.'

Mia hangs up then smirks at Roy. He raises a brow at her trying to figure out what she's thinking.

"Wally's so dead" "Are you going to help him?"

"Kinda have to. He used the "you're my cousin and you love me" bit. I hate it when he uses it."

Roy chuckles and pulls her seat closer to him "He knows that you can't say no to family."

"That's true" Mia stares into his forest green eyes and saw a glimmer of mischief "So…what do you have planned for today?"

Roy smirks "Like I'd tell you anything."

"Fine. Guess I have to spend the rest of the day at the Cave and hope I don't get sent on a mission" she gives him a peck on the cheek and went to change.

"I hate it when she does that" Roy rubs his face in frustration before saying out loud "Just be ready by 7 tonight. Ok?"

"Thanks Roy!" she shouted back.

Mia came back into the kitchen wearing a red long sleeved shirt, a winter jacket, white beanie hat, yellow scarf, skinny jeans and short ankle boots. Roy stands up and walks over to her. He pulls her in for a kiss then hugs her with a small squeeze.

"Thank you" he mumbles in her hair.

Mia smiles and snuggles into his chest.

She looks up at him with a warning glare "Don't do anything stupid. I don't want to hear on the news, from the Team or from Ollie that you screwed up and embarrassed yourself. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal."

"Good. I'll see you tonight" she lets go of Roy and heads for the front door.

"Not teleporting?"

"Nope. It's too cold for me to teleport. I'm taking the zeta tube."

"Alright."

"Bye Roy."

"Bye Mia."

When Mia closed the door, Roy's face became hard and emotionless. He picks up his phone to look at the time and quickly changes into his Red Arrow suit. "I'll find you Speedy."

"Recognized: Blink, B04."

As soon as she stepped foot inside the cave, Mia was quickly engulfed into a hug and she hugs the person back.

"Mia we've missed you!" M'gann exclaims.

"Meg you know you can always visit me in Central City. I've got my own place thanks to the paintings I've sold."

"But it's not the same though."

"You've got a point there."

The girls stopped hugging and out of nowhere a blur of yellow runs towards them and barrels into Mia. Mia laughs as she's on her back with Lola on top of her licking and purring.

"I've missed you too Lola."

Lola growls.

"She misses you a lot. No one can get close to her except Wally."

Mia looks at Lola "I'm sorry girl. I want you to live with me but I don't think I'm allowed to have a 60 lb. leopard in my apartment."

Lola gives her the "Puss in Boots" eyes and Mia sighs in frustration.

"Fine you can come live with me."

Lola purrs loudly like she's saying "Thank you."

"Ok now get off me before I'm crushed to death."

Lola gets off and Mia stood back up again. She takes off her jacket and beanie but kept her scarf on.

"Don't need everyone knowing about what Roy gave me. The guys would go ballistic, not to mention Artemis too" "So what are you and Conner doing for Valentine's Day?" Mia wiggles her eyebrows.

M'gann blushes and began to stutter "I-I…we d-didn't…uhm."

Mia chuckles "It's ok Meg, I'm just messing with you. This is your first Valentine's Day as a couple so for tonight do something light like watching a movie here or take a stroll on the boardwalk. It doesn't have to be over the top and extravagant."

"Thanks for the advice. How are you and Roy doing?"

"We're getting there. He has some of his things in my place and I have a few of mine at his. Dad, Wally and Artemis still don't know about that, they just think we're flirting around and being annoying to each other; let's just keep this between us."

"My lips are sealed."

"Great. Now let's go to your room and figure out what you're going to wear tonight."

They headed for M'gann's room with Lola right behind them.

Central City

February 14, 19:10 CST

Mia was all dolled up and ready for what Roy has planned for tonight but she's missing something rather someone, Roy. She looks at her watch and saw that it was ten past seven.

"Tch. And he thinks I'm the one who takes too long to get ready. I better call him and see what's the hold up." She picks up her phone and calls Roy. After it rings five times, he finally picks up.

'What' he spat out.

Mia froze for a second then spoke "Is everything alright?"

Roy was taking down some security guards at some building in some country.

"Why are you calling?"

'Because you told me to be ready by 7 tonight and it's now 15 past seven. Where are you?'

"Busy" he takes down a few more guards.

'What's that noise?'

A security guard grunts when he fell to the floor.

'Are you actually taking down thugs?! Wait, you're searching for Speedy aren't you?'

"Actually they're security guards. Look can we talk about this later?"

'You know what, take your time there and don't bother coming back home.'

"Mi-" she hung up on him "Great, now she's mad."

Mia stares at her phone then to Lola.

"I'll be back later tonight. If he comes here while I'm out, keep him out of the bedroom."

Lola nods and Mia heads for the front door. She remembers something and looks back at Lola.

"Lola no maiming, killing, biting or scratching" Lola almost pouts "You can tackle him and keep him on the floor but I don't want to see blood anywhere in this apartment. Bye Lola."

Mia walks out of her apartment, locks the door and takes a stroll around the city. She sees couples everywhere as she walks past restaurants and shops. "Lucky ducks." Mia wasn't paying attention when she's suddenly pulled back right as a car speeds away in front of her.

"Watch it jerk!"

Mia looks back to see her savior and saw that it was Wally.

"Wally?"

"Hey Mia. You know you should pay more attention."

"Yeah sure" she sounded distant.

"Are you ok? Where's Roy?"

"Ditching me to look for Speedy" "He's going to meet me."

"Great. Hey, thanks for the flowers and reservation. Artemis loved it."

"I'm glad. I'll see you later Wally."

Mia waves and continues to walk to nowhere. She ends up at a coffee shop, called Joe's Java, that was just about to close and sees an employee locking the door. Mia knocks on the door and the employee shakes her head.

"Sorry, we're closed."

"Please, I just need a place to sit for a bit. My date didn't show up and I'm not in the mood to hear his explanation. I swear I won't order a drink" Mia pleads.

The girl looks at Mia and saw that she was telling the truth.

"Come in. You're lucky that I'm the manager" she opens the door.

"Thanks" Mia walks in and took a seat at the counter.

She looks at her phone to see if she had any missed calls or new messages but there weren't any. Placing the phone away from her, a single tear escapes and trails down her cheek.

"He must be some guy" Mia looks up at the manager on the other side of the counter "How long have you two been together?"

Mia chuckles "Actually, we haven't been dating that long but we've been through a lot together though. Right now he's working on something that he thinks it's his responsibility."

"I know about dating someone who's obsessed with something" the manager starts to clean a mug with a hand towel.

"Really?"

"Oh yeah. Back in Florida, I dated a guy in high school who only lived and breathed soccer. His family wasn't any better. Now I love him and his family to bits but they didn't do anything else unless it was related to soccer. So after 2 ½ years of putting up with him, I broke it off and moved to Central City for college."

"Wow."

"Yeah. I know right? Best decision I ever made" she smirks.

"You're tougher than you look."

"Thanks" the girl smiles.

"I'm Mia" Mia holds out her hand.

"Victoria" she shakes Mia's hand.

Before either girl said another word, Mia's phone rings. They looked to see Roy was calling. Mia was hesitant to answer so Victoria answers it.

"Thank you for calling Mia's phone. If this is a family member please hold and if this is the jerk of a boyfriend who stood her up please hang up now" Victoria winks at Mia.

'Who the hell are you?!'

"I'm a new friend, who's this?"

Roy grumbles.

"What?"

He mumbles again.

"I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that."

Victoria puts the phone away from her ear when Roy starts to yell.

'The jerk of a boyfriend who stood her up!'

She places the phone back to her ear "Oh hi! How can I help you?"

'Please let me talk to her.'

Victoria taps her chin "Now why would I let you do that?"

'Because I love her.'

"He sounds sincere" "That's what they all say."

'Please' he begs.

She looks at Mia and saw tears building up. "Guess she heard that" "You can talk to her when she gets back home."

'But-'

Victoria hangs up and passes the phone back to Mia. Mia takes the phone and blots her tears with a napkin.

"Go make him pay for making you cry."

Mia nods and heads for the front door.

"If he gives you any more trouble, just come by again around closing time and we'll talk shit about him."

"Thanks Victoria."

"No problem Mia."

Mia quickly heads home.

She opens the door to her apartment and smiles at the sight in front of her. Lola laying on top of Roy and he looks like he's not enjoying it. Mia walks past them and quickly pats Lola on the head before entering her room to change.

"Mia please."

"Oh so now you want to talk."

"I had intel about Speedy's location."

Mia opens the door and walks out, wearing red fuzzy pajama pants and a white tank top with her hair held up with a clip. She narrows her eyes at him then heads to the couch and sat there.

"And you had to check that tonight? Really?"

Roy struggled to talk as Lola's weight was crushing him.

"Come here Lola."

Lola got up and laid next to Mia on the couch. Roy breathed in deeply then got up and sat on the coffee table in front of her.

"If I didn't check it out then I might have lost the real Roy. What if it was one of your brothers?"

She glares at him "Don't you dare bring them into this. Remember, I thought that they and Ana were dead for three years so I didn't search. That's not the same thing."

"Mia I have to find him."

"It's not your responsibility, damn it!" she got up and strutted for her room.

Roy follows her and grabs her wrist before she went inside.

"Mia please" she turns around allowing Roy to see her on the brink of tears. "Oh Mia."

"Why are you acting like a jerk?" "Is he that important to you that you completely forgot about me? If he's more important than me, you can go ahead and leave. I don't want to see your face again."

Roy remained quiet the entire time. Expecting him to leave, Mia tries to get out of his grip but he had a different idea. He pulls her in and wraps his arms around her small frame.

"No one is more important than you. I didn't mean to make you feel this way Mia" Roy softly spoke.

Mia raises her head to look at him straight in the eye. "He's telling the truth" "Roy, I need you to promise me something."

"Anything."

"Please don't obsess yourself over Speedy, he's not worth it. I'm begging you, as your girlfriend and friend, to let him go if you can't find him. Please Roy."

He hesitated before he finally spoke "I promise."

Mia looks at him to see if there was a sign that he was lying however she didn't find any. Taking his hand, she leads him to the bedroom where they had a blissful night sleep. "I'm sorry Mia but that's a promise I have to break."
