It was an unexpected team up, against a troublesome young woman. His ally had assured him time and time again that he had her handled. That he could get her to stop and take her in. But now he had the girl that Red Arrow supposedly had handled on top of him, pinning him to the ground, while Red Arrow had an arrow drawn in his bow that was pointed at the back of her head.

"Well, Arrow.. You certainly know how to pick them."

Her voice was a pleased hum as her hand remained tightly coiled around his wrists, the nose of her mask dragging down his cheek, the tip of her sai dragging along his jaw.

"Cheshire."

His tone held warning, but she made no move.

"Jade. Pull back."

Something told Red Robin that Cheshire was grinning behind her mask. She was enjoying every moment. But she did exactly that, she pulled back and balanced on the balls of her feet before turning the masked grin to Red Arrow. She slid up to him draping herself over him as she drew herself to rest against his back, arms slipping over his shoulders and to his chest.

"Now, I do believe this is the part where you kiss."

"I go by Red Arrow," the lone vigilante said quietly, shooting off another arrow at one of the robbers. Black Canary happened to run into this kid in Star City during a robbery. He couldn't be more than fifteen and was probably homeless. He looked raggedy, his mask was a smudge of...something, and his bow was rudimentary at best.

But he was still good.

With the last of the crooks taken care of, she walked over to him and held her own hand out. "Black Canary. Do your parents know you're out here?" The kid looked at the ground. No parents. "Have a home?" Again, he simply stared at the ground, suddenly finding the asphalt very interesting.

"So what, you just pull the string and let it loose?"

Wally could hear Roy groan from across the room, and frowned.

"No, Wally, it's a lot more complicated then that." Roy walked over and straightened Wallys arm, lifted it, and got him to pull back on the string. "Alright. Now aim. No, don't look at me, look at the target. Alright. You ready? Now shoot."

Wally stuck his tongue out slightly in concentration, and let the arrow go. The arrow went flying, farther and farther away, and then landed pitifully a metre from Wally's position. He studied the bow, and then lowered his arms. "I think it's broken. It's not working."

Roy grinned, and elbowed Wallys side. "The bow isn't the thing that's not working."

"Hey! That's rude, dude."

"I'm not the one that sucks at archery."

Wally shoved the bow into Roys chest, then started walking away. "Fine then. I'll just go get Artemis to help me instead." He poked his tongue out at Roy, then backed out the door, closing it behind him.

She isn't-- 

*chokes on chili*

Fiance?

I wasn't hitting on her, I assure you.

If you're so sure she's honest with you, then maybe there was miscommunication.
