Tragic accident ( Reply )
Weeks after weeks we’re going by slower than The Turtle, the slowest super liken ever. Roy had changed his condition was still stable and few of his wounds were healed, mostly the ones inside, the life support was feeding him and helping him breath till he was stable to breath with just an oxygen mask. They’d raised Roy’s leg above him as he rested. The doctors had offered Euthanasia, which was ending Roy’s life..because they’d agreed that when Roy wakes up which could be years from now that he’d be in an vegetive state, meaning he wouldn’t be able to look after his self and Oliver and his family would need to look after the teenager all his life..
Roy’s eyelids fluttered slowly open. He was so drowsy. Why was he so drowsy? The last thing he remembered was that excruciating pain and the blacking out. The motorcycle crash! Roy tried to sit up but found he couldn’t move.
At first, he started to panic, writhing weakly until he realized where he must be, the hospital. “How long have I been out?” Roy murmured weaklyto himself. His head was throbbing and he couldn’t feel his legs. Well, could feel one of them at least. He could wiggle his toes on his right leg, but that was the extent of the movement there.
At first, he felt frightened, that perhaps they’d had to amputate. But then, he looked up and noticed the cast. There was his other leg, right where it should have been. That was good. “One thing at a time Harper”, he mumbled to himself, “one thing at a time. I’ve still got both my legs and that’s good. How about my arms?”
He tried to lift one arm, but found it hopeless, wrapped up tightly in a cast. The other was also wrapped up, though less wrapped. He couldn’t move any of the digits on either hand, but at least he still had two hands. Two arms, two hands, two legs, a good start.
Slowly, Roy did his best to account for the rest of his body parts. There were a few he simply couldn’t feel no matter how hard he tried, so he did his best to trust they were still there. He couldn’t move his neck to see thanks to the neck brace, that dig into his neck.
Essentially, he was stuck and his leg really itched. He gave a sigh and tried to ignore it. He was alive; he could deal with one itch. He was alive. The realization crashed over him. He should have been dead, yet he was alive. But, there was just one thing missing. Where was Oliver.
Months had passed. The doctors all told him to give up hope, that after this long with no spikes in activity that there was no hope left. Oliver didn’t give up on him though. Neither did Felicity. The both of them had seen too many impossible things to even think about giving up until all possibilities had been used.
Finally the call came. They had been home prepping Sunday breakfast when Oliver’s phone lit up with the number of the hospital. He answered and left right away. He wanted to head over first so that he could make sure it was okay for Felicity to bring Kali, if not then she would drop her off with her mom and Lance before heading over herself. They had stayed up many a night planning what they would do depending on where they were when the time came.
Oliver raced through the streets and his quick pace continued as he wound his way through the hospital corridors. The older blonde hit the doorway and blew out a breath when he saw Roy sitting up in the hospital bed. Awake.
“Roy? Oh my god, you’re awake. I knew you’d do it. I knew you’d come back to us.”
Roy’s head was pounding with pain as he went over the crash in his head. He remembered some of the crash, he remembered Oliver being there, holding his hand and shouting things but that’s it..He thought that was it for him, he thought he wasnt going to make it through it and he’d never see his family again, his eyes dashed around the room, noticing cards, smiling when he saw a hand made one, guessing it was from Kali..Wait she saw him..she saw him there on the road, bleeding..
The nurses gave him the all clear and allowed him to sit up on the bed, allowing him to see more around his room. But each time he tried to speak up nothing came out his mouth, he tried but failed at all attempts it was the same with trying to move his fingers and his toes on the right but even that was taking a lot of him focusing but his head just pained him more as he tried to think things through but he mostly ended in blank.
Right now he wanted his family and to take the stupid neck brace off but he had nether of those options. The nurses and doctors came in and out of his room as the moving was making him sick and shortly he puked up vile. He allowed them to do their tests which to him seemed point less but he heard some of their conversation and it didn't sound good to him.
Roy was deep in thought, trying his hardest to speak or move, so far her could move all the digits on his left hand but that’s it. He nearly had an panic attack when he head the door swing open, his eyes shooting straight at the door and he nearly burst out into tears when he saw who was standing there. Oliver, he wasnt that strong and an tear escaped his eye when hearing his voice.
“I don't feel well..daddy” ( redheaded-archer )
“Come here, Buddy. What’s wrong?”
Roy wasn’t always an sweet heart, he could cause trouble easily but right now it wasn’t that type of moment this was an moment Roy was never going to forget even if he was sick, he was still enjoying his time with Oliver. Roy never thought he could ever be happy or even be with an family this great..to be honest Roy thought he’d be in the orphanage till he was too old for it. He smiled as Oliver laid down, cuddling closer to his chest with an fist full of Oliver’s shirt.
Roy couldn’t believe sometimes that he had Oliver and Felicity as parents, even if they were foster parents, to him they were his real parents and even better than real parents they were his best friends. “Do you think Green arrow copied Robin Hood?..” He mumbled, his Boyce rough and sore as he spoke.
Oliver held the boy closer as her snuggled into him. They settled in to watch the movie and the beginning credits had just finished when Roy asked his question. Oliver tried very hard to suppress the laugh that bubbled, but a slight chuckle had erupted. “No, bud. I don’t think that the Green Arrow got his idea from Robin Hood. I think it’s probably more meaningful than that.”
Roy felt protected in Oliver’s arms, like he was never going to lose him and that Oliver would always be there to protect him. He snuggled closer, burring his head into his chest before coughing into Oliver's chest. He looked to Oliver confused, not sure of why his question was funny?. “I do..they kinda do the same thing right?, Both have bows and arrows, both wear green and both save people..and I bet you he’s got a princess to love as well and he’s got a team like him..He’s the modern Robin Hood..what’s with archers and wearing green anyway?”
“Simple? Brushing my teeth is simple. This? This is not simple.” (( Redheaded-archer ))
SEND ME ONE FOR MY MUSE’S REACTION
“Im sure you can manage Roy” he answered handing him the tracker. “Do you want me to repeat the plan?”
@redheaded-archer
Roy was in shock his self, had he really done it though?..He let out an sigh of relief, relaxing for only an minute before he got his full attention back on the mission but he couldn’t fight the feeling bubbling in his stomach.
“I wouldn’t be saying that just yet..” He said with an sigh, he just felt useless at times especially when doing this, doing stuff with tech. ”Gotcha, stay in the shadows and look out for trouble” he said, finally the hard part was done. He leaped off the vehicle and returned to his bike before riding off. “I don’t feel like I’ve done anything Oliver..” He mumbled.
The situation was quickly apprehended by Roy and it seemed the Arrow made the right choice in sidekick. It would not be long until he would share his thoughts on leaving Starling with Roy passing on the mantle to him. He done good, he grown up a lot and he could handle keeping Starling safe without the Arrow around.
“Hey, you’ve done good” the praised Roy again when they met up half an hour later the older vigilante resting his hand on Roy’s shoulder to re-assure him in a very paternal way.
“You are always the hardest on yourself Roy”
Roy was always going to think he was a failure in Oliver's eyes, he only became what he was because of a stupid drug, he’d probably be a street fighter still and probably dead without becoming Arsenal, Arrows sidekick and that’s all. Without Oliver he’d nothing just a thief nothing more, nothing less and he’d always take his own life for Oliver's, Starling wouldn't last a day without the Arrow there to help fight crime.
Roy was anxious as he paced the ground, grip tightening on his bow before he heard Oliver's voice behind him and he turned to face his mentor, smiling lightly. “Hm?, Em thanks..” He mumbled, he thought different of course.
“It’s what Roy Harper does..always put unneeded pressure on his shoulders as Thea likes toput it..”
Broken Birds and Arrows
Jason laughed as he took off his helmet and his domino, would be pretty suspicious in there. “It’s not that I have a fetish with them, but what else is open at three am in the middle of patrol when you need coffee?” Jason opened the door for Roy, inhaling the sweet scent of maple syrup. This place was the best. Jason used to come here even before he met Bruce, at nights when he just didn’t want to go home yet. “Smells good huh?”
He’d missed hearing Jay’s laughter it’d been an long time since he heard it. He moved his own domino mask with an smile, making sure his bow was safe before he walked over to his friend. “Yeah you’ve go an point, my bow better not go missing” he smirked giving him an playful nudge. He smiled smelling the sweet scent. Okay Jason knew some of the greatest places around, especially places with food, brilliant food. “Yeah it does..I’ve always wondered how you know theses places..you’re always surprising me Jason Todd” Roy chuckled softly before sitting at an table. ”Maybe after this want to go on patrol like old times?, I want floor you this time” he snickered quietly.
Jason smiled, thinking of going on patrol with Roy like he used too, back when he was Robin. He had missed how simple it was back then, everything was a confusing mess now. “Maybe next time you can pick the restaurant.” He guided Roy to the corner booth in the back, he used to sit there for hours and just read. “I’d like to patrol with you again, it sounds like fun.” He smiled, picking up the menu.
Everything was so much easier when they are just sidekicks but then again the two hated being an sidekick, being on the shadow of their mentors. But when he lost Jay he lost his self in guilt and sadness and gave up the gig for a while till trouble began again and the world needed another archer and that’s who Roy became. “You do know that place would just be anywhere right?” He chuckled softly, following his friends lead through the small cafe towards their seats “When was it never fun?, me and my amazing puns and of course my amazing archery skills”
Jason smiled, he remembered roaming the streets with Roy when he was younger. He knew that everything had been happy back then, but he tried not to think about it. Back then he had a family, money, love, things he had never had before. When he came back he was back to who he was before he had met Bruce, alone. As the waitress came and filled their coffee cups he looked back up to Roy. “It was always fun. It was nice, easy.”
Roy wishes it could all go back to being easy but when you get older things change..a lot, Roy had done things he’d never thought he’d do in his life but that was before his life got messed up especially after losing his closest friend..his brother in a way, his partner, he’d lost Jason and that’s when it all went bad at home, no one believed the red head any more and that’s when anger came and he left and went down his own path. He smiled kindly at the waitress as she filled their cups, he nodded at her, mumbling thank you before looking over at Jason “Because we were kids, really stupid kids who’d throw their selves into danger..but hey it’s in the past lets focus on now huh?” He grinned.
Aw Jay can't believe you just called me a pretty red head" ( redheaded-archer )
“Hmmm. Well…” Jason shook his head and snorted. “I mean you do have those long lashes and untamable hair.”
“I do it all for you darling~”Roy said, trying his hardest to cute as he flushes his eyelashes at Jason “I’m always here for cuddles..”
“You are ridiculous.” He shakes his head as he laughs at the redhead’s antics. “What’s even gotten into you? Are you bored? Normally you’re tinkering with something or flailing about something.”
“I'm ridiculously hot” He smirked as he hears his friends laughter which was aimed at him and he didn't have a problem with that. “I’m bored and I love annoying you..it always brings a smile to your face, even if I’m telling the truth”

“Ssh, you’re okay” ( imagine little Roy calming his father down after an nightmare - Redheaded-archer - )
Oliver jumped up from the couch cushions almost knocking into Roy who was standing next to him. “Hey buddy, I’m okay.” It had been a late night for all of them with their latest bust and with Felicity at Palmer Tech they couldn’t tag team Roy to catch up on sleep. Oliver hadn’t even realized he had fallen asleep, but here was Roy waking him up from a nightmare. That was not the best idea, he didn’t want to risk accidentally hurting the boy.
This wasn't new to the kid seeing his foster father out cold on the couch and he tend to leave him that way. He wasn't sure why they were so tired all the time but he didn't mind them sleeping but this was before he heard his fathers mumbles for help and he scurried from his feet and ran to him before shaking him to wake up because nightmares were never good. He frowned when awoke “No, you're not..” He replied before attempting to climb up onto Oliver's chest, nearly falling but he manages to pull his self up and spreads his legs over Oliver's chest. ”Do you want to talk about it?..”
Like for an starter <3
On another earth… Maybe we are happy there.
“…what we saw in that scene was the little Felicity Smoak - the little girl who waited every single day by the window for her dad to come back home to her after he left - getting her dad back.” inspired by this post

Still Adjusting// redheadedarcher
Roy smiled tiredly, slipping in and out of consciousness as he fidgeted on Oliver’s chest, getting more comfortable under the man arms as his blanket covered most his body, only two sock covered feet sticking out from the bottom. He didn’t know why the two seemed to laugh at his point about them being superheroes, anyone could be an superhero if they tried and had an kind heart and those are the two traits Oliver and Felicity had or they at least had one each which made them the prefect fighting duo..Maybe he was thinking to much on this subject but it kept his mind of his parents and hopefully kept his nightmares away but he knew now that Oliver and Felicity would always be there for him, supporting him and of course loving the red head orphan.
He looked at felicity, his eyes heavy lidded as he let out another yawn before returning to his little smile that never seemed to disappear when he was around the blonde, she was always smiling, full of life and so bubbly!, all around he loved her. “I really think that..heroes..don’t need capes and powers just as long as they have an kind heart and…and save people..they’re heroes to me..”He said before his eyes dropped close before he forced them back open. He didnt want to sleep not right now..But listening to their reasoning he only smiled more, He’d do anything to meet an hero..sure he met starlings hero but he took him away from his family but he saved him..Maybe he should write him an letter and draw him something and ask Oliver to send it for him..He didn’t want the one hero he looked up to think he hated him.
He listened to the whole story, her voice sending him to sleep as he thought of heroes and his new family. He tried to hard but the last thing he heard was Oliver’s whisper and he only managed to get an few words out from his mouth before it went quite and only his little snores were heard from the four year old. the last words were “You’s..are mine..” Before it was lights out for the kid as he snuggled into Oliver’s chest, his hand limp in Felicity’s.

Watching Roy fight sleep tugged Felicity’s heartstrings in every way possible. How could she love someone so much without knowing them long? “I know we shouldn’t start habits that are going to be impossible to break,” she began as she shifted on the bed. “But can’t he sleep in our bed just for tonight?” She knew it wasn’t a good idea. Most parenting books agreed that bed sharing could be a hard habit to break. Right up there with thumb sucking and binky use.
But he was a child and he had a nightmare and what was the point of having a huge bed if not to share it? (Other than the obvious play-time benefits, which she refused to think of at the moment.) She looked up at Oliver, the tiniest of pouts on her lips. She wasn’t sure how much convincing her significant other would need. He could be just as much of a sucker as she was when it came to Roy.
She leaned over and nuzzled the boy’s cheek before pressing a kiss to it. She glanced up at Oliver again, shifting to stretch out on the bed.

Oliver sighed, matching his breaths to Roy’s The synchronization and pattern seemed to help soothe the boy further towards sleep. He didn’t understand how it worked but he remembered his mom doing it when he was a little boy or, as he was beginning to realize, he remembered more what Raisa would do.
Oliver smiled thinking of her. Their house keeper was like a mother to him and Thea. Whenever he was at a loss for what to do with Roy he would think be to when he was younger and what would help him, it was usually something she did. Sure his mother could help him and she would but his parents were always busy with one thing or another. His heart grew as he saw Felicity holding the young boy’s hand. It was hard to believe that they had so quickly adjusted to thinking about him. Oliver found himself falling into a father role fairly easily even if it wasn’t real.
He would have to remind himself that Roy might never see him as a father, even if the boy became a son to him. Oliver cradled Roy to him as he laid him between him and Felicity. “If we’re going to do this we might as well make all the mistakes first parents make right?” He smiled at Felicity and placed a kiss to her cheek after she finished stretching out. He looked back down at the sleeping boy, “We did the right thing, right? We’re better than being in the foster system?” He dropped his mask now that it was just him and Felicity. The fear and anxiousness in his voice could be clearly heard.
@redheaded-archer @blondecyberterrorist
Roy hadn't slept this easy since the day he’d lost his parents to the glade attack and surprisingly Oliver made an great pillow ( I wonder if felicity knew that? ) He kept his hand in Felicity’s as he slept, bringing him comfort knowing he had them looking over him while his other hands thumb hand made it to his mouth while he dreamed.
The couple seemed to be doing great at this caring thing. Well to Roy they were and he hoped he’d never lose them like he lost his own parents. He couldn't forget that night..no matter how hard he tried. All the fire, destruction around him while he tightly held to his mother then the sudden sound of crashing and soon they were trapped under an roof of their house. He struggled to breath as the smoke and fire was creeping close to them, his mother protecting him as much as she could. He could remember her screaming for help, each time sounding more and more disparate. Before someone found her and he was ripped from her by an man in green ( No he wasnt the grinch ) It was the Green Arrow and soon as he’d gotten out..the roof collapsed taking his mothers life just like that she was gone from his life.
He screamed and screamed for her but the hooded man wasnt letting him go before he was safe, he passed out shortly after and awoke in the hands of an woman who wasnt his mother but the helper of the orphanage where he’d ended up until he met Felicity and Oliver, at first he didn't want to go. He wanted his mother not these strangers but after a few visits he gave into them and now he had the worlds most amazing foster parents. Roy shuffled on the bed, getting his self comfortable, sucking away at his thumb, his hand still keeping grip on Felicity's fingers as he peacefully slept, an little bit of drool escaping his mouth and dribbling drown his chin.
@blondecyberterrorist @the-queenfamily
Roy felt awful for shouting but it seemed to be the only way to get his message through..Wally didn’t deserve all this he was only an kid, an great kind kid for that fact that should be staying with his uncle and Antie but Wally wasn’t going admit to it then the abuse wasn’t going to stop..and that’s all Roy wanted for the kid to have an normal life..
Okay maybe saying he would adopt him didn’t sound completely realistic but at this point be would do anything to get him out of there, to protect him with all his heart. Seeing those bruises across Wally was something Roy hoped to never in his life but he guessed the kid with the brightest smile had the darkest secrets. He watched as Wally pulled away from him, his heart shattering. “Wally this isn’t something you need to cover up..I know you want things better and I’m sure you rather be with your uncle and auntie than with your father..but if you won’t tell anyone expect from me it’s not getting better..” He said in an much softer tune, tone looking to Wally before the floor. “If you want I’ll forget what I saw but please tell me one day you’ll tell your uncle about it…you’re like his son Wally he wants you to be happy like the rest of us..”
Wally could see how much his refusal to tell anyone hurt Roy. “He’ll think I’m weak,” he admitted, “he’ll see me differently, everyone will! I should be able to handle this, I should be able to deal with it on my own!” He paused, running a hand through his hair.
“I mean, most heros don’t have parents, and would kill to get there’s back. I do, I have them and sometimes they can be really nice and loving and I just- Ijustcan’tleave.” He slipped into superspeed at the end, catching himself before he could start rambling. “I’d feel bad, I’d feel guilty. He could find me again and I wouldn’t be able to look at him. I’m supposed to be strong, tough, fearless in the face of villains and evil doers… but I can’t do it.”
What Wally said next pulled harder on his heartstrings. “Wally, He’d never think that of you..no one will” He sighed, running an hand through his hair, his own hand shaking not sure why though but it was. “Wally calm down!, you’ll always be the kid he fell in love with, that red headed nerd who adored the flash and wanted to be him. Wally this isn't something anyone should be handling..not at your age”
“”Everyone’s story different..some people may do anything to have their parents back but I doubt anyone in the team would change it..without that lost they wouldn't have created the junior league. I know you’re parents can be lovely and sweet but Wally this shouldn't happen” He said looking to him, eyes widening at the superspeeed talk. “And thats what makes you great Wally, No matter what he’s done to you you’d still feel bad..He wouldn't find you, his ass would be in jail. Wally you are strong and fearless and whole load of things he just cant see how amazing you are he’s jealous of what you've became, The most bravest person I know”
Roy caught the slight blush across the red heads cheek and he chuckled softly not wanting to have another coughing fit. He had to give it to him though for trying, he remembered Oliver’s face when Dinah mentioned at dinner, he thought he was going to explode while Roy laid on the floor in fits of laughter.
“I’ll look it for next time huh?, I need to go back anyway I think I’ve left something there..” He knew what he forgot, his first Bow. Oliver gave him it when he came to stay with the couple, he missed the days when it was easier to get along with them but now he wasn’t sure how they could go back to normal. He sighed checking his phone realising that Oliver had texted and he didn’t seem happy with Roy, guessing he’d found out Roy was sick. “Wally?, how many people know I’m sick?..” He asked looking up from his phone over to Wally. ”oh really, I’m the lost cause?..I think it’s the other way out dude..” He smiled softly.
“What’d you leave?” He was just asking to make conversation, but if Roy was willing to go back it must’ve been something important, “I thought you usually tried to avoid Oliver, have you turned a new leaf or something?”
“Uh…” Wally paused, thinking back, “well Dick found out because he’s Dick… he would be here right now if he wasn’t stuck in Gotham with Bats, who I’m guessing also knows. Kaldur knows because he’s the leader of my team and needs to know when I’m gonna be gone for awhile.” He paused once more, “but that was before I came here, and I didn’t really say not to tell anyone so…” he shrugged, “everyone could know by now.”
“Something sentimental to me..” He said with an small smile, remembering his childhood, when he smashed the vase with an arrow and instead of being angry Oliver praised him for some reason. “I do but I need to get this and a few other things..”
Roy grounded his teeth slightly before sighing. “Yeah I guessed that but now Oliver knows and now he’s constantly texting me asking if I'm okay or if I need to come back home or if he needs to come and get me..people must be telling him I've got the plague..” He sighed, throwing his phone back on the bedside table, hearing it vibrate with each text. “He was the last one who needed to know..Dinah must've heard the junior league and told Oliver..”
