Roy was lying in a hospital bed and was missing an arm. Ollie and Roy (the other one) were standing near him. "So, let me get this straight, while I was on ice you found another Roy harper, the sidekicks formed their own team, aliens invaded the earth, and Ollie grew that dopey goatee?" asked Roy.

"Aliens invaded?" asked Jason. "hm, won't be around for that." Nightwing winced.

"We try not to call ourselves sidekicks." Said Red Arrow.

"Really, Roy?" said younger Wally Sr. "You'll never let that go."

"You're actually right about that." Said Alice.

"You don't like the goatee?" said Ollie.

All Artemises face palmed.

"So missing the point. You've both been talking around it all day. Now I want answers, what happened to me? How can there be another Roy harper? And what happened to my arm?" screamed Arsenal.

"Ok, Ok, we wanted to wait until you were strong enough, but I guess the moment's here." Said Red Arrow.

"He actually sounds really calm compared to usual." Said YJ Robin.

"Moment's passed." Said Arsenal. "Get to it."

"What's the last thing you remember before we found you in Tibet?" asked Red Arrow.

"I've been trying to piece that together. I remember investigating a Lex corp. shell company that we suspected of smuggling weapons to north Realasia. Some Lex corp. goons got the drop on me. I remember feeling embarrassed, then nothing."

"That's right." Said Ollie. "They grabbed you. Thing is, Roy, that was eight years ago."

"That would be really sad, waking up with 8 years missing." Said Emily. Kaline nodded.

"What!" said Arsenal.

"Lex Luthor and the light, this criminal organization he works with, abducted you. They amputated your arm." Said Red Arrow.

"Why?" asked Arsenal. "To keep me from using my bow?"

"Nope." Said Lisha.

"No," said Red Arrow. "They needed an endless supply of your DNA to perfect their cloning process."

"Oh, wow." Said Paula.

Arsenal looked at his stump. "So that's what you are, a clone."

"I'd always thought the two Roys were identical twins with very uncreative parents." Said Wally Jr.

"Me too." Said his twin.

"Yeah," said Red Arrow. "They grew me, or rather force grew me. In a matter of months I looked your age. I was programmed with all your memories, and skills, and… worse."

"They fed me clues to your location. I thought that I was doing detective work, butIn hindsight… you'd been missing for 3 months, I'd been going crazy, so when I found you, him, I didn't question the good fortune. I had no idea it wasn't the real, the original you. I had no idea Luthor had stored you on ice all this time."

"Wow, so that's the story." Said Dick.

"So, what you're saying is, you took my place. You've been living my life for eight years." Red arrow looked away.

"That would be so weird." Said Zala.

"And he's been tirelessly searching for you for five of those years." Said Ollie.

"Huh, but not you? You gave up on me."

"No, he just thought you were dead." Said Alice.

"I don't want to be the cause of more conflict between you two, I'd understand if you never wanted to lay eyes on me a gain." Said Red Arrrow.

"I don't know." Said Arsenal. "Seems to me the clone didn't do anything wrong. He didn't ask to be created. Plus he found me. I can't blame him for this. But I can totally blame you." He screamed the last part.

A few people winced.

"Roy, I…" said Ollie.

"We were partners, friends, how could you not know that I'd been replaced. How could you leave me in Luthor's hands for eight years? And how did I not see how useless you are? Get out. Get out!"

"Ouch." Said Lian.

Ollie left. "Uh, look…Roy, I need some time to process all this, so…" said Arsenal.

"I understand." Said Red Arrow. Then he left too.

A/N: Please review. I know this is random, but Zala is pronounced Zayla, just so you know. So what do you think of the pairings I put in the author's note last chapter.
