Roy Harper:

Intergalactic Arsenal

Disclaimer: Just a fun idea I came up with recently (with the potential for a full on story one day) and I think in part, I owe this idea to reading some Sueprman related fics I've long been a fan of.

Summary: What if Roy Harper had been in Central City during the Speed Force Storm? What if he'd been hit by one of the bolts? What if it had sent him somewhere in the Universe instead of killing or giving him a gift?

"Ugh..." Moaned Roy Harper as he slowly came too, vaguely hearing voices as he did so.

"Easy, my young friend." Came a male sounding voice.

One that sounded gentle but was still enough to alarm Roy due to how he was feeling. Opening his eyes, the first thing the former protege of the Green Arrow saw was a silver haired older man. "Wh-Who? W-Where am I?"

"I am Jor-El, and you my friend, are on the planet known as Krypton. Though your arrival here was perhaps a strange one. Even by our standards as an advanced society." Informed the man as Roy frowned at that while feeling a bit panicky.

"Last thing I remember… I was, I was in Central City… on the planet Earth. When this, this strange storm made up of Lightning started up and one of the bolts hit me. Kinda reminded me of the Flash a little..." He absent mindedly rubbed on his chest.

Which helped him to realize he had a bandage on it. "Interesting. And perhaps it helps us understand a bit more on how you arrived through this… Bolt. Something that has seen to it that you will need a month at the most to heal. Tell me, what is your name?"

"Roy Harper. And uhh… No offense to you or anything, but how are we able to understand each other? And are you sure you can't just send me back to Earth?"

The man known as Jor-El chuckled. "Well met, Roy Harper of Earth. And to answer your first question, long ago, my people created a way to provide a means of understanding with any race in the galaxy through special rings that go on the wrist. Much like yours."

Roy looked down in surprise at his wrist and noticed the thin object around it. "Huh… That's… That's impressive." And he meant that too since God knows no one on his planet had done anything like that.

"My thanks, young man. Though we do not interact as much as we used too with other planets due to our focus on re-building here on Krypton after a great war with a race known as the Dominion some 10 years ago. But it is my hope that that will soon end. As to your second question, your condition leaves you unfit for travel to your home and I for one can not in good conscience send you off whilst you are injured."

A sigh escaped Roy at that. "Alright, well, if there's anything I can do to pay you back for what you've done, let me know."

His host chuckled. "In due time, my young friend. But do not be surprised if I asked you questions about your home planet as it has been some time since we last surveyed it."

"Surveyed?"

"Hmm. To see if and when your people would be ready for us to contact and introduce them to the rest of the Universe." Explained the man.

"Oh. Considering we had this race called Dominators try and invade us, I'm not sure how many back home would feel about that right now." Roy told him with a frown and causing Jor-El to frown.

As that just sounded troubling! "That is quite troubling but perhaps there still is hope. But that is a subject for another time."

Roy's stomach would happen to agree with that as it growled, causing the older man to chuckle while Roy looked a little embarrassed. "Seems my words were more accurate then I believed. I shall have something prepared for you, my young friend. Though do please let us know if it has any adverse effects on you."

"Can't be any worse then Mirakuru."

"Mirakuru?"

"It means 'miracle' when translated from Japanese. A uhh, a language on Earth. Basically, it was this serum that could turn someone injected with it into an unkillable machine with rage problems."

Hearing that honestly bothered Jor-El as to him, that felt like a twisted act in the name of Science. "I see… I must admit that is troubling but perhaps another time I will ask you about that. For now, lets get you fed and on to the path of healed."

"I can work with that."

Chuckling, Jor-El raised up and walked out of the room. Allowing for Roy to see a rather beautiful Brunette haired girl outside of the room he was in. Sighing to himself, he laid back down to get as comfortable as he could. Man… I hope I can get through this without pissin' any of them off!

Nearly a year later would see him finally leaving Krypton to return back to Earth. Though he wouldn't be alone as Jor-El and Lara's son Kal-El, along with their niece, Kara Zor-El would come with him. Kara being someone he hadn't necessarily got along with at first despite an attraction he felt towards her while he and Kal-El got along like a house on fire. Learning that the young 20 year old yearned for something different that he just couldn't find on his home planet. Something that saw him making the decision to go with Roy to find that something different while Kara had went as she had chosen to follow her heart where Roy was concerned. Even if some on her planet felt that was a bit beneath her. The trip home would end up taking roughly 4 years to do thanks to a mishap or two the trio found themselves in.

Mishaps that also saw Roy start to become known in the universe as a traveling Arsenal due to his growing collection of weapons. Which even included a few different Bows and quivers of arrows from different planets as well! Thankfully, their arrival on Earth was an easy one that featured a big party to celebrate Roy's return from the cosmos. Thea and Oliver would even try out some of the archery equipment he had picked up along the way and finding that what they tried out had a level of kick assery that anything on Earth couldn't quite match just yet! Kara from Earth-38 would be rather shocked but delighted to know of Krypton being alive and well in Earth-1's universe! Even if she was a little weirded out by the fact her doppleganger was a Brunette who looked nothing like her!

Author's Notes: Would this be something folks would want to see more of in a full on fic in the future with the trio's adventures in the stars? As for Earth-1 Kara, I'm thinking Laura Vandervoort. I know normally Kara is a Blonde but I figured with this, I'd switch it up and make her a Brunette. Though I was tempted to go with Redheaded. R and R!
