“Kiss me if I’m wrong but, do you think it’s just a matter of time before shield tries to create the power rangers or not?” @reshieldedstart
“see, personally, i would be kind of into that. the power rangers thing, of course. not the kissing thing.” which... definitely didn’t come off as well as roy wanted it to. “not that i’d be against that, but in this case, well. who knows what they’re planning, really. they don’t keep me up to date a lot of the time.”
𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 phone model from the sidewalk , terry looked onward to it’s owner leaving the phone without notice. the hero undercover chased behind them , finally reuniting with them terry caught a breath in his lungs. he exhaled , ❛❛ you dropped this back there , phew. you walk fast. cool model by the way. totally retro. ❜❜
pausing when he heard the voice behind him, roy glanced down to the phone in the stranger’s hand, eyes going slightly wide. “oh, shit. i didn’t even feel it drop out of my pocket.” reaching out, the archer plucked the phone back, once more sliding it into his pocket. hopefully it would be a bit more secure lest he lose it again and no one brought it back a second time. “retro?? i mean, i wouldn’t exactly call this sort of thing retro. unless a new model was released and i just wasn’t made aware.”
“ SHIT –– ” he pulls the other in for a hug . it’s nice . familiar . comforting , even . “ i wish we’re the only two dumb asses who managed to get dragged into this . i saw dinah the other day and she was not too happy to see me , ” he shakes his head fondly . “ who knows maybe diggle and emiko were smart enough to keep away from all this . ” he can only hope because he’s not sure if he can handle two more people comine to terms with the fact that he is very much not dead . “ anyways –– is lian here ? how is she ? ”
roy goes willingly, arms encircling around oliver in a tight embrace, relief washing over him in waves. they may be stuck in another world entirely at the moment, but at least there were some familiar faces around here. things could be worse, in his humble opinion. “not surprised we’d be the two idiots to wind up in a completely different universe. can’t say i’m all too surprised on dinah’s end, but let’s hope no one else shows up. if only to save them from this.” he was trying to keep himself together, trying not to focus on all of the things he wanted to ask. the how. the why. pulling back, roy set his hands on oliver’s shoulders instead, smile soft, hopeful. “she’s here, yeah. unfortunately we both got pulled to this place together, but she’s doing okay. as well as can be expected given the circumstances.” a slight pause. “lian’s missed you. a lot.”
THEY DIDN’T EVEN TAKE a moment to register just who ended up next to her . at the sound of her name , her head whips to the side to see a flash of red hair . at this point , donna’s not sure if they should go in an hug him or give him a moment to process her presence . she drops her arm , moving to stand in front of him . “ oh my gods , roy ? ”
he makes the decision for them both almost immediately after the information had registered in his mind, arms quick to reach out and pull them in close for a hug, tight and nearly disbelieving that all of this was actually happening. but donna felt solid in his arms. “how is this -- please tell me this is actually real and i’m not just having a really good dream right now.”
“ you’re repeating yourself. ” it’s a touch brusque on the delivery, and helena winced internally when she heard her own tone of indifference. but, she doesn’t like wasting time, and company was starting to talk in circles. “ sorry, force of habit. continue. ”
“hey, come on, give me a little bit of a break here. i’m really trying here, but man i barley got any sleep last night.” which was definitely the only reason that roy was even talking in circles at this point. he’d been up nearly the entire night working on the arm that had kindly been offered to him after the accident. working on updates, making sure it was as effective as it could be. “take pity on my poor soul.”
@weaponscobblcr // HE ALWAYS WONDERED WHEN and if he would ever run into his former protege in this unfamiliar world . and just when oliver’s about ready to believe roy was lucky enough to have avoided being thrust into this universe , he spots him . “ roy ! ” calls out to the other . he jogs over from his position across the street and stops in front of him . “ holy shit , it’s so good to see you . ”
“shit -- ollie??” and here roy was beginning to think that oliver had somehow managed to keep away from this entire disaster. here he was still kicking himself for even investigating that portal and getting stuck in this place with his daughter. unfortunately there was nothing that he could do to change it at this point. “wasn’t sure if you were here too, but it’s good to see you as well. tell me we’re the only two dumb asses who managed to be dragged to this place.”
❛❛ that’s because it is a shithole. ❜❜ dick reassured with a bit of a grin. soft yet sad. a mix of feeling that slowly became a permanent fixture on dick’s expression ; regardless of how often he attempted to disguise it. ❛❛ but it’s my shithole. okay ? i practically grew up there. ❜❜ he swiped past a few images on his camera roll — one with hayley , another with babs , an obligatory found family photo , and then finally one with him and bruce. dick scoffed and promptly locked his device before slipping it into the pocket of his hoodie. his elbows propped on on the railing and his eyes locked onto the city skyline. the new york lights mimicking daylight. ❛❛ so yeah , this place beats gotham city. you win that round. ❜❜ his eyes flickered to the guest beside him. ❛❛ okay. my turn. ❜❜ he tapped his chin playfully. ❛❛ would you rather fight a dude with two electrical whips on a race track or a maniacal clown in an abandoned warehouse ? ❜❜
“not about to argue on that one. been in gotham more than enough times to know how much of a shithole gotham can be, but i know it’s your home. still, i think we both know star city is ten times better at least. by no means metropolis, but you know. still better.” he’s teasing, of course, grinning wide as he gives dick’s shoulder a little nudge. nothing felt the same here no matter how much the archer had been attempting to adjust to this city. it just wasn’t right. none of this was. while the city could be beautiful in moments like these, this was still a far cry from the world that roy had known his entire life. the disconnect just wasn’t one he could shake. tilting his head back, roy breathed out a soft sigh. “see, both sound really bad. but i’m gonna go for the guy with electrical whips on a race track. one, it sounds like a pretty exciting setting. and, two, it’s not the joker.”
@reshieldedstart // “ WHOA HEY WATCH OUT ! ” arm instinctively shoots out to stop the other person from walking right into the splash zone of a flying drink . “ guess they were that dissatisfied by a frappuccino ? ”
he almost doesn’t recognize the voice given the situation. reflexes are quick to react, stepping back to ensure he stays out of the splash zone lest the entire day be be ruined with a single flying frappuccino. when it clicks, finally, roy isn’t quite sure whether or not to believe his eyes once they fall to his savior. “--donna??” he breathes out, shock coloring his tone, almost unable to get the single word out.
( @reshieldedstart ! ) ‘ i’m good . i’m like , so good . ’ there’s a tremble in every step they take , cassie has to hold her arms out to make sure she doesn’t plop over just like that ( she can’t even walk in a straight line , oops ) , and she giggles at the other . ‘ isn’t this fun ? i can totally like , feel the spirits around us . they’re totes into us partying out here with them . ’ a pause , doe eyes blink up at them . ‘ hey , has anyone told you that you’re like , supes attractive ? ’
clearly she had had far too many by the looks of it. not that he was here to judge by any means. mostly, roy was just here to make sure things didn’t go too far in any sort of direction. the designated water, or whatever anyone wanted to use. “yeah, yeah, i’m sure the spirits are loving all of this right now. bet they’ve been waiting for a party like this for centuries, right??” blinking, roy tries his best to keep his expression schooled, but eventually it crumbles as he lets out a short laugh. “once or twice, yeah. hasn’t gone to my head just yet.”

if your character is a dc muse: what were they doing when they passed through the portal?
roy was out at the archery range training with lian, teaching her to shoot a new bow that he just recently had made for her. of course, he went to investigate to determine if things were safe or not and they both wound up... in a new world.
where are they living? are they living with anyone?
right now, roy has found an apartment around the city that is pretty cheap. it’s about all he can afford since he really isn’t the biggest fan of using oliver’s money these days. it’s enough for him and his daughter, but hardly anything that screams wealth or anything. all he needed was something comfortable and to hold him over until they can get back to their universe and star city.
why is your character affiliated with who they’re affiliated with?
well, the titans are his family, and are mostly remnants of the old teen titans. they’ve all been through so much together at this point that roy couldn’t possibly imagine a life without them in it. he returned to the team after a brief stint with the justice league, where he decided to step back after... the Prometheus incident occurred. he just didn’t feel like he belonged anymore, and the titans were a better fit for him at the end of the day. as for shield, he’s working for them mostly to learn things and figure out what’s going on. wouldn’t be the first time he’s worked for a government agency in this way.
who are their major friends, allies, and foes?
the titans and the justice league are always going to be his allies and friends, though the titans are definitely the ones he has a closer bond with. foes tend to be anyone that’s an enemy of green arrow and the titans.
whose hands do they believe the country should be in?
these days, roy isn’t too sure. he’s rather not stick his nose into this whole business because it isn’t his place. all he wants is to fight for a better tomorrow for his daughter.
what’s their current mental state at? their physical state?
mental state isn’t too well, i’m afraid. after the excitement of being invited into the justice league and then the Prometheus attack following right after, it was a whirlwind. he’s been trying to keep it together as best as he can for lian, but it’s gotten difficult. his physical state is a bit of a mess as well. the attack left him missing an arm, and though roy has a cybernetic enhancement courtesy of cyborg, it’s a huge adjustment for the archer. he has to relearn his bow, has to relearn how to shoot, has to relearn how to use this arm with weaponry and perfect it all once again with his fighting techniques. it hasn’t been easy and roy is still struggling with it all.
