Rule #46: No bothering Roy about his pointy hat.
"Hey, Speedy, what happened to your hat?" The new hero, Foster, said in a sly tone.
She was the first to be brought in for an interview, which really wasn't the best idea ever. The Bat had allowed Roy to come over also, which wasn't the best idea ever, especially because of who he was before he became Red Arrow. She wasn't really a hero, but in between being a hero and being a villain. So, the Bat had decided that she should be brought in as soon as possible.
Roy tensed at the question, and he slowly turned around to see the girl. "I don't go by that name anymore. My name's Red Arrow." He growled.
Foster only smirked at him, and leaned on top of Robin, just to be able to piss both of them off at the same time. Two for one equals 1,000 points! Well, at least in her mind.
"Well, you think about it, we can still call you Speedy 'cause you still haven't been replaced." She said, then, faking innocence, her eyes widened and she gasped. "Wait a minute! You have been replaced! By a criminal no less!"
Sue her, she didn't want to be here, and they didn't want her here. Might as well piss off some heroes while she was here.
"How do you know that?" Robin asked, looking up at the slightly taller girl.
She shrugged and said, "I'm a hacker, Roby-poo. What did you expect?" And then she turned to Red Arrow once more. "But seriously dude, what the hell was up with that hat? Wanted to be taken away to Neverland?"
Roy glared and growled at her, and Kid Flash sped inside, standing between the hacker and archer. "Now, now, Foster, no need to get Arrow mad."
Foster rolled her eyes, and turned back to Red Arrow. "Or did you want to take the Peter Pan role? I mean, you already have your very own Tinkerbell and the Lost Boys! All your missing is a Captain Hook!" And now she was laughing at her own joke.
Roy's forehead twitched, showing just how mad he was getting, and both Kid Flash and Robin both knew they were now in trouble. "Rob! Call Jason! Foster, get the fuck out of here!" Kid Flash yelled, tackling Red Arrow, as the man started to try to grab his bow and arrow.
"Why should I? This is fun!" Foster answered, now going to lie on the couch looking on as Kid Flash and Red Arrow wrestled on the ground.
"Let me at her! It'll just be an arrow through the knee!" Red Arrow yelled, punching Kid Flash in the chin to get him off.
"Robin!" Kid Flash screamed, signalling to the boy that Red Arrow had gotten free.
"He's coming! Foster, come with me! It might be your only chance to live!" Robin yelled, running into the room.
Foster looked at Robin, then back at Red Arrow, who was tumbling down once more because of some kind of trap Robin had thrown. She sighed, but then quickly became alert when an arrow almost hit her face. "Let's go!" She exclaimed, and both hackers took off running.
Rule #47: No teasing Conner about his 'family'. You will regret it.
"So let me get this straight," Jason said in a straight face as he spoke to Conner. "Your 'father' is Superman, who wants nothing to do with you, while you really need his help to refine your powers?" He asked, making Conner nod. "And then you have Lex Luthor, the creepy bald billionaire; who owes me money, too; who is your supposed donor? Who is also trying to bring you to the dark side?" Jason finished.
The whole team was in the mountain along with Jason, just because the League had grounded them yet again. All of them were already getting tired of being treated like children, and punishing them as if they were wasn't helping the situation. Now Conner and Jason were talking with one another as Robin planned a prank with Wally and Artemis, while Kaldur and M'gann cooked something for the evening.
Conner nodded, glaring at the red head, and said, "You don't have to say it like that." He grumbled, crossing his arms.
But Jason didn't seem to hear him. All he was stuck on was the fact that Conner's fathers were Superman and Lex Luthor. There was no female in the middle. "Oh my Gods! You have two dads!" Jason finally exclaimed, and let himself fall into a fit of laughter.
Conner's anger slowly built up, and because of his loud laughter, Jason managed to attract the attention of Robin, Artemis, and Wally. "What's going on?" Wally asked, speeding over to the fallen ex-bat.
"He has two DADS!" Jason yelled, falling into yet another fit of laughter.
Wally looked at Conner's face, and noticed that he had to get Jason out of here. "RUN!" And they both had to jump out of the way of a couch. "NO MORE MAKING FUN OF CONNER!" Wally yelled as he grabbed Jason and sped around the mountain, trying to find an opening. That day, much like all the others, Jason and Wally went to Mexico. There, they met a man named Deadpool who gave them explosive chimichangas and one heck of an adventure.
Rule #48: Please , do not start your sick way of thinking right when M'gann and Conner are around. The world will not end in 2012, we've survived a lot. There is no need to get them worried.
"Hey, Robin, what would you do if 2012 did happen?" Wally asked while they were gazing up at the clouds.
Robin hummed as he thought, then said, "I would go to another universe, where I would start my life anew." And he chuckled. "I mean, you, Jason, and Roy proved we could travel through time and space."
Wally propped up on his elbow to look at the bird, and asked, "So, what if 2012 happened in all the dimensions you stayed at? Would you jump from dimension to dimension?"
"What'll happen in 2012?" Conner asked innocently.
"Nothing you should worry about, Conner." Roy told him. "Just some idiots said the world's going to end this year in Christmas."
And Conner and M'gann took off, running to hide in the mountain. "I think we may have just damaged the innocence of two of your teammates." Roy told them.
To which Robin and Wally shrugged. "It was bound to happen."
It was five days before the League or the team could get any of them to leave their rooms, much less, leave the mountain.
Rule #49: Do not talk about anybody's family. It's a very touchy subject for everyone here.
"Stupid! Useless! Good for nothing idiot!" Artemis ranted as they walked into the main room. "If only you weren't so stupid, Kaldur and Rob would be here with us!"
Wally cringed at her cold words, but he knew, deep down inside, she was saying the truth. If he hadn't moved from his spot, if he had stayed still, they wouldn't have been found out, and neither Kaldur or Robin would be in emergency surgery right now.
"Come on, Artemis. Aren't you being a bit too hard on him?" M'gann asked quietly, not really wanting to anger Artemis even more.
"A bit hard!? He deserves worse!" Artemis yelled, then grabbed the closest thing to her and threw it over Wally's head, making the lamp crash onto the wall and break.
She had expected him to yell back, yell some pretty nasty insults at her, do something that would show Wally was just as angry, but what he did... What he did, she didn't expect. Wally squeaked in surprise, and fell onto the floor, curling himself into a ball as he started to cry uncontrollably. M'gann was the first to react, flying over to him to make sure he was okay. Then went Conner. But Artemis couldn't move. She was frozen in that same spot next tot he coffee table.
"Wally? Are you okay? Nothing's wrong. We're all here with you." M'gann tried to comfort him, but the speedster didn't listen.
"No. Please don't hit me. I didn't mean to. Please, I'm so sorry." Wally whispered, getting the attention from everybody there.
Artemis and M'gann shared eyecontact, and she quickly ran to the boy and dropped to her knees. "Wally? Don't worry. I'm sorry. No one's going to hurt you." She whispered, passing a hand through the red hair.
"Please, don't." Wally whimpered, feeling each and every single punch from that last beating.
"Wally! Wally!" He heard a female voice yell, pulling him out of his stuppor and the memory of the beating.
Wally's eyes opened as he gulped a big breath of air, and he looked wildly around the room. The walls weren't bright yellow, but brown, like a mountains. The mountain! He was at the mountain! He looked around him, only to find his head on M'gann's lap, with Artemis and Conner looking down at him with shocked faces.
"W-wally. I'm soo sorry." Artemis started, and she quickly hugged him.
He smiled up at her lamely, and rubbed her back. "Don't worry, Arty. I'm okay."
M'gann had a distressed look on her face, which was most probably because she knew everything Wally went through. "Wally, what was that?" She asked him.
"Up-up, M'gann. New rule in the mountain, never speak of family." Then he looked at his other two teammates. "Never again?" He asked.
Artemis and Conner looked at each other, then they nodded. "Never again."
Five reviews and I'll update tomorrow. Remember, last chance to submit an OC for Rule #50.
