2012. Mia is 19.

After debating with herself, Mia decides to pay the Manor a visit. "Let's see what they're up to." She teleports from her apartment in Central City to the Wayne Manor in Gotham City. When she appears at the front door, she knocks a few times and waits. The door unlocks and opens to reveal a butler with white hair and an air of sophistication.

"Hello Miss Amelia" he spoke in a British accent.

"Hey Al."

The two waited a few seconds before they did their secret handshake and Alfred lets her in.

"Unfortunately, Master Bruce is out at the moment and Master Dick is in the gymnasium" Alfred informs as he closes the door.

"That's ok" *sniffs* "Al, are you attempting to make my famous flan?" Mia smirks.

Alfred was flustered for a second before clearing his throat to compose himself "Nothing gets past you Miss Amelia."

"Got that right. Let me show the proper way to make flan."

Mia made her way to the kitchen with Alfred right on her tail. A few hours passed and the flan was finally done.

"And that's how you make flan. Want the first piece?" Mia offers.

"That's quite alright Miss Amelia. Perhaps Master Dick would like to enjoy the first piece."

"Al, you and I both know that he likes everything but flan. I'm sure it's ok for you to get the first piece. Besides you deserve a treat every now and then."

"I suppose you're right."

Alfred takes a knife and cuts out the first piece for himself. He grabs a spoon and starts eating.

"How is it that I can never make this right? I've followed the directions explicitly yet I can't ever get this to taste like Mia's" "Splendid as always Miss Amelia."

Mia looks at the clock in the kitchen. "That's weird. Normally Bruce is-" the phone starts to ring and Alfred answers it.

"Hello? Yes sir."

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear" Mia thought as she watches Alfred's expression go from neutral to surprise.

"Oh dear. Yes sir, I'll bring her down" Alfred hangs up and looks at Mia "Master Bruce wishes for you to meet him down in the cave in 10 minutes."

"Sure. Mind if I go say hi to Dick?"

"Of course Miss Amelia. You may do as you please but I highly recommend not to go on a joyride with any of the vehicles."

"I wouldn't dream of it" Mia states sarcastically causing Alfred to raise a brow "I'm kidding besides I don't know how to drive anyway."

Mia leaves the kitchen and heads to the gymnasium. "She's one of a kind. I'm so glad that Master Dick has a friend like her."

Mia stops by the gymnasium to find it empty. "Guess he's in his room." She leaves and heads for his room. Without knocking, she barges in completely scaring him.

"Hey Dick."

"Aaahhh!" he covers his lower half "Mia? What the hell?!"

*scoffs* "Like I haven't seen anything before. Besides this is payback for that time on the beach."

Dick just stares at her "Are you kidding me? That was a little over two years ago. I can't believe you've held a grudge this entire time."

Mia shrugs "You were the last one I needed to cross off."

"I don't even want to know what you did to Conner and Kaldur."

"It's better if you don't."

"Oh god" Dick heads into his closet and changes "So what brings you by the manor?"

"Can't I visit my favorite guy?" Mia lies through her teeth.

"What's the real reason Mia."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh really?" he walks out of the closet wearing a blue buttoned up shirt and dark jeans "You only say that to Wally and me when you don't want to talk but you really do. So what's up?"

Mia sighs and chuckles softly "I can't talk my way out of this can I?"

"Nope."

He takes a seat on his bed and pats the spot next to him. Mia walks over to the bed taking the seat next to him but doesn't look at him.

"Mia?"

"It's-it's Roy. Something's going on with him and I can't figure out what it is."

"Have you tried talking to him?" Dick suggests.

"I've tried that but I can't seem to get through to him. I don't know what to do anymore" Mia slowly starts to cry.

Dick pulls her in for a hug and rubs her back "It's going to be ok Mia" "I need to have a talk with Roy."

Shortly after their talk, Alfred knocks on the door.

"Miss Amelia, Master Bruce wishes to see you now."

"Ok. I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Very well."

Mia wipes her tears and gives Dick a smile "Better go see what he wants. I'll see you later Dick."

She kisses his cheek and heads to the Batcave. He waits until his bedroom door closes and he picks up his phone to call someone. After a few rings, the person answers.

'Hey dude.'

"Wally what do you know about Mia and Roy's relationship?"

'She tells me that they're good. Why?'

"Because she was just here worrying about him. She cried Wally."

The other side was silent for a bit 'Mia barely cries.'

"Exactly. We need to have a talk with Roy."

'Should we really meddle? I mean it could work itself out.'

"Wally, you didn't see her. She was distraught, heavy on the dis."

'When are we going to talk to him?'

Mia walks down the stairs to reach the Batcave. "Wonder what he wants." As she made it down the stairs, she looks over to see Batman with his cowl still on and a boy with black hair and green eyes sitting on the floor by the Batmobile.

"Hey Bats."

"Blink."

"So who's the short stack?"

The boy glares at her "What'd you call me?"

"I called you short."

He growls and charges at Mia. Batman didn't bother helping because he knows that Mia can take care of herself. Lo and behold, he was right as always. Mia waits until the last second and teleports. The boy stops and looks around in confusion. Two seconds later, Mia appears behind him and swiftly takes out his legs with her foot.

He hits the ground hard and groans as he feels the sting from hitting the ground. A shadow looms over him so he lifts his head a little to see Mia standing in front of him with the softest smile she has ever mustered. He stares at her in shock because no one has smiled like that to him except his mother.

"Let's start over" she extends her hand "I'm Mia. What's your name?"

"I think I can trust her" he takes her hand and she helps him up "I'm Jason, Jason Todd."

"Well Jason it's a pleasure to meet you. Mind telling me why Bats brought you in?"

"I tried to steal the Batmobile's wheels and sell them" Jason said with a straight face.

Mia looks from Jason to the car to Batman where she saw the irritation in his frown. She bursts out laughing and grabs hold of her stomach as she laughs harder and harder.

"Oh my god" *laughs* "You tried to…and he…oh my god."

As she laughs, Batman clears his throat and glares at her.

Mia finally calms down "You know that doesn't work on me Batman. Now let me take Jason up for some dessert while you brood and calculate the benefits of having him as your next partner. Come on Jason" Mia holds out her hand but he hesitates "I swear I don't bite."

"What the hell" he shrugs and holds her hand. Mia take him to the kitchen and on the way there, they had a quick chat.

"Tell me about yourself."

"Nothing to tell."

"Got a dad?"

"Don't know, never met him."

"Mom?"

"Left me."

Mia stops dead in her tracks and looks at Jason with sadness "I'm so sorry."

"Whatever. She only cared about when she had enough money to buy her next pack."

"Oh Jason" she pulls him in for a hug "Don't you worry, I'll help take care of you."

Jason growls and pushes her away "I don't need to be taken care of! I've been fine on my own for a while and I'll be fine without your help. So go ahead and be motherly to someone else."

Mia sighs "You're right, you shouldn't be mothered" she quickly grabs his ear and pinches it hard "You should be treated as the snot nose little brother who tries to act tough."

"Ow! What the hell?!"

"You said you didn't want me to be motherly so I'm acting as the big sister who's in charge of your little punk ass."

"What gives you the right to treat me like this?" Jason shouts.

"Experience and the fact that I am a big sister of three siblings as well as the surrogate big sister to a team of teenage superheroes. Don't test me."

"She's witty and doesn't give a shit what people say about her. I can definitely trust her" "Ok" Mia eyes him suspiciously "I'm good, honest."

Mia lets go of his ear and smiles "Glad to hear. Come on, I've got some flan."

"What's flan?"

"The best thing ever created but I make the best. Now come on before Al eats the whole thing."

"Who's that?"

"You'll see" Mia ruffles his hair.

Jason swats her hand away in a playful way as they head to the kitchen for some flan.

Dick and Wally waited for Roy on a rooftop in Star City. When Roy finally arrived, they went down to business.

"So Roy, how's your relationship with Mia?" Dick asks while crossing his arms.

"Fine."

"Really? Cause that's not what we heard" Wally comments.

"What are they talking about?" "What'd you hear?"

"That apparently you're in your own little world and Mia's been trying to communicate with you but you're not responding. Care to explain?" Dick raises a brow.

Roy was silent for the time being and that's when Wally came up with a theory.

"This wouldn't be about you breaking your promise to Mia. You know the promise you made to her that you wouldn't obsess yourself with finding Speedy, now would it?"

"How do you know about that?" Roy demanded.

"Dude, we're her cousin and best friends. She tells us everything even if we have to trick her into telling us the truth" Wally states.

"This doesn't concern you two. This is between Mia and I so butt out."

"That's not going to happen Roy and it does concern us because we care about her. Now try to be the great boyfriend she thinks you are and we won't have any problems" Dick reasons.

"Whatever."

Roy notches an arrow and fires it. He uses his bow to ride down the zip line, disappearing into the night of Star City. The two looked at each other with the same thought on their minds "Better keep an eye on him."

It was Christmas Eve and a certain someone was beyond excited. "I can't wait for everyone to get here." The party was being held at Oliver's mansion in Star City and everyone was invited. The Garricks, Wests, West-Allens, Artemis and her mother, and her brothers with Ted as well as Daniel.

"Mia, can you help me get this star up?"

"Sure thing Ollie" Mia walks over to the Christmas tree and had to crane her neck to see the top.

Oliver stood by her with his hands on his hips "Beautiful isn't it?"

"It's the biggest tree I've ever seen in my entire life."

"Glad you liked it. Now" he hands her the star "Care to do the honors?"

"Of course" Mia smiles and takes the star "Back in a jiffy."

She teleports to the top of the tree while Oliver watches her place the star on the tree. "I'm happy that Roy's dating her. She's good for him." Mia came back down.

Oliver smiles "Now. You ready for the party?"

"You bet."

Soon everyone started to arrive at the party and began to mingle. Mia dragged her brothers over to Wally, Artemis and Roy so she can introduce them.

"Mia we don't want" Miguel starts.

"To meet them" Tulio finishes.

"Actually you two did meet them but that was about two years ago and they were their alter egos" "Well too bad" she places the Twins in front of the trio "Guys these are my brothers Miguel and Tulio."

"Nice to meet you guys" "Again after two years" Wally extends his hand.

The Twins were hesitant but when they saw Wally smile, they instantly relaxed.

"Miguel" he shook Wally's hand.

"Tulio" he did the same.

"Now this is Wally our cousin through adoption, his girlfriend Artemis and that's Roy."

The Twins greeted Artemis with a kiss on the cheek and a hug. They looked over at Roy like they wanted to murder him.

"What?" Roy asks in irritation.

Miguel scoffs while Tulio looked at Mia with seriousness.

"Ese gringo es su novio?" *

"Sim. Y que?" *

"El tiene quer pasar la prueba." *

"Tulio no!"

"Es nuestra tradicion" *

As the Ramires siblings bickered, the trio just watched them.

"Do you have any idea what they're talking about?" Artemis asks.

"I've taken some Spanish. I can guess what they're saying" Wally listens to the conversation intently "Ok either they're arguing about a pet dog or something about a toy."

"They're arguing about me doing a test that's from their culture" Roy states correctly.

The couple stares at him in surprise.

"Dude."

"Roy, you understand Spanish?"

"Thought it would be good to know what she's actually saying about me. Mia doesn't know I understand Spanish so don't say anything."

They nodded and turned their attention back to the Ramires siblings. Mia looks back at them and sighs. She walks over to Roy taking his hands into hers.

"I'm sorry to do this to you know but my brothers are persistent. Since you're my boyfriend, you have to do a test to show that you're worthy of having me as your girlfriend. It's a tradition back home but you don't have to do it, no one can force you to take part of it."

"Of course I'll do it" he kisses her fully on the lips in front of her brothers "So what do I have to do?"

"Roy are you sure you want to do this?" Mia asks worriedly.

"What? You think I won't pass?"

"That's not it Roy. This is probably the hardest challenge you've done in your life."

"It can't be that hard."

"You'd be surprise."

Miguel and Tulio show up.

"So you want to date our sister huh?"

"You can only do that if you pass the test."

"Bring it" Roy states confidently.

Tulio looks at Miguel and nods. Miguel understood the gesture and pulls out an entire bowl of Isla Santo Miguel's hottest peppers, El Diablo. Mia was scared for Roy while Wally and Artemis stared in confusion.

"This is the test?" Wally asks "Well that was anti-climatic."

"Mia, what's going on here?" Artemis wonders "You've got to be kidding me."

"So it's a custom back home that when a boy wants to date a girl, he and the girl's father sit across from each other. The girl's father places a bowl of our hottest peppers in front of the boy and tells him that if he can eat at least 3 of them then he can date the daughter. I remember watching a few of these test and almost all of them didn't pass because the peppers are too damn hot. Only a handful passed, so I'm not sure how Roy can handle the heat."

"Guess we'll have to see."

"Shh. It's starting" Wally shushes them.

"Eat 3 of these and you get to date our sister" Tulio states.

"If you can't, this is the last time you'll see her" Miguel comments.

"What?! That's not fair!" Mia shouts.

"Don't worry Mia, I got this" Roy faces the Twins "Let's get this over with."

"Go ahead" the Twins state gesturing to the bowl.

Roy picks up the first one and shoves it in his mouth. "This isn't so bad" he bites into it and all Hell broke loose in his mouth "Oh shit." Roy thoroughly chews and finally swallows it. He can literally feel the chewed up El Diablo pepper in his stomach. "I don't think I can make it" he looks over to see Mia worried about him "But I have to try." Roy takes the second one and does the process again.

Miguel and Tulio saw that Roy wants to give up but he pushes through for Mia's sake. They had the same thought about him "He's worthy." Roy starts to sweat profusely and was in pain from the intense heat of the peppers but he doesn't complain. When he finished the third and was about to eat the fourth, Miguel grabs his wrist to stop him.

"You don't have to eat anymore, you passed" Tulio states.

"Yes!" Mia cheers and gives Roy a long kiss on the lips.

He quickly pulls away "Mia, don't. You'll burn your lips."

Mia laughs "Oh you big baby" she grabs a few and pops them in her mouth like they were popcorn "This is nothing."

"What?"

"The girls back home have a huge tolerance for anything that can cause them pain. This barely makes me sweat" Mia explains.

"How did I pass?"

"You pushed through the pain to be with the girl you love" Miguel says.

"Most guys who do this quit after the first pepper. Some quit after the second but only those persistent enough to date the girl they love, will completely finish the third pepper and go for the fourth" Tulio explains.

"Good to know" Roy softly says as he feels his lips bloat a little.

"Now that's over with, let's get back to the Christmas party" Mia suggests.

All six of them went back to the party and had fun. Laughter can be heard, gifts were exchanged and a lot of kissing under the mistletoe. As the party was coming to an end, Mia drags Roy away from the party and went outside. Roy twirls Mia around for a bit making her laugh and dizzy.

"Roy, stop. I'm getting dizzy" Mia grabs onto him to steady herself.

"Sorry about that."

"It's fine. How's your stomach?"

"I can still feel all three of those peppers in my stomach. Is that supposed to be normal?"

Mia shrugs "I guess. I wouldn't know because I'm not complaining about it."

Roy playfully glares and smirks at her "You're going to pay for that comment."

"Make me."

"I plan to."

Roy snatches her up and kisses her passionately. Mia responds by kissing back and their bodies moved in sync. They only stopped when someone clears their throat gaining the couple's attention. Mia looks over to see everyone watching her make out with Roy.

"Dios mio" she mutters as she hides her cherry red face.

"Wow Mia. Didn't know you were so thirsty for Roy" Artemis taunts.

"Shut it Art."

"Mia, are you and Roy…" Barry hints.

"Oh my god!" Mia looks up at him appalled at his hint "Barry!"

"Hey I just want to know if you're being safe."

"Ok you can stop right there. I'm not having this conversation with you in front of everyone" Mia looks at Roy "I'll see you later" and looks back at her friends and family "Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight."

She teleports out of there then waits for Roy back at her apartment.

The next day, Mia wakes up to find a note with a small present on her nightstand. She opens the note and reads it.

"Merry Christmas Mia. I'll see you tonight.

Roy"

Mia smiles and opens the present. Her eyes went wide at the sight of the present, a gold necklace with a bow and arrow charm. "I love it Roy. I'll see you tonight." But he never showed up leaving Mia heartbroken.

"Damn it. Chesire keeps getting in my way, I need to find out what she knows. Sorry Mia but it looks like I'm not coming home tonight." Roy starts to follow Chesire to see what she knows about where Speedy is located.

"This gringo is your boyfriend?"

"Yeah. So what?"

"He needs to pass the test."

"It's our tradition."
