Loud huffs of air left my lungs as I lunged over the roof tops of buildings, desperate to get to the shop with smoke billowing out into the chilly night sky. I was attempting to track down any current information on Oswald Cobblepot's whereabouts in Gotham, yet all of them left a cold trail.
"This better be worth it," I huffed, jumping over a gap between buildings. Once landing outside the shop, the loud shouts of men and gun fire echoed out onto the streets. I smirked.
"Sounds about worth it."
I decided to make my interest a little more interesting, and kicked through the window of the shop, kicking one of the gunmen down at the same time. The rest of the men turned to me, aiming their guns directly at me. I quickly raised my hands.
"Now, now - I don't want any trouble, boys. Just tell me where Cobblepot is, and this will all be over in-" Unable to finish my sentence, an arrow went through one of the men's hands, causing him to drop the gun with a loud scream. Suddenly, Red Arrow busted through the front door, firing multiple arrows at the men. I ducked out of the way into the next aisle as one skimmed past my ear. One of the gunmen seemed to have the same idea and copied me, quickly getting to his feet and stepping forwards, aiming his gun at me once more. I smirked and grabbed onto the side of the shelf, knocking it down on top of him.
"So much for interrogation night," I sighed.
Carefully stepping around the shelf, I saw that Red Arrow had managed to take down one of the men.
"I had this ya know!" He grunted as he pulled out another bow.
"Yeah, well, I'm your brother, I'm supposed to-"
"Don't pull that 'big brother' crap on me!" I yelled as I stamped over, holding an accusing finger at his face. "As soon as you went to partner up with that other arrow guy, I had to learn to fend for myself. You have no right-"
"Hands up!" My eyes almost rolled to the back of my head.
"Of course you had to speak up in the middle of our family reunion," I scoffed, crossing my arms. "Guys like you are-" Before I could continue, a blast of water hit the man, throwing him into the wall and knocking him out. I turned to Roy who held a smug look on his face.
". . . did you bring a friend?" Roy's smug look was quickly replaced with scowl.
I turned to see who Roy had decided to let tag along, only to see a tall boy with dark skin contrasting against his bleach blonde hair. He stared at me then at Roy.
"Is this her?" I pulled myself out of my trance and turned back to Roy.
"Wait - you've been looking for me?" Roy sighed and went to place a hand on my shoulder. I pulled away, glaring up at him.
"I'm sorry, Roy, but you can't leave me then suddenly try and worm your way into my life." I looked back at Roy's friend and smiled curtly.
"Sorry to cut it short - but I'm needed elsewhere." And with that I fled the building.
However, I didn't go to far as I watched from the roof across the building. I watched as the pair communicated with the authorities. I chuckled as a frown stayed set on Roy's face - he was never the best when it came to large crowds. My eyes carefully traveled over to his friend. I wasn't sure what it was, but something just seemed so appealing to the eye. I grinned to myself.
"This should be interesting."
Weeks later I found myself becoming more and more intrigued by Roy's friend, attempting to find him wherever I could. A few times, as I much as I hated to admit, I began a few brawls between gangs to try and grab his attention; it worked. I waited until he and his team arrived, then dropped down and began to attack the gang members. The group of teens stared in shock as I began to drop each member one after another. After putting down the last member with a swift kick, I looked up at the team who stared in shock, a few keeping a steady hand on their weapon. Kaldur stepped forward.
"You're-" he began.
"You know who I am," I quickly stated, a small smirk playing on my lips. "The better question is who are you? Surely my Red Arrow wouldn't bring just anyone on a simple break-in."
"Wait, Kaldur, you know this girl?" Robin asked as he stepped forwards, just behind Kaldur, an unsure look on his face. The smirk grew on my lips.
"Kaldur, huh?"
These kind of nights followed one after the other, and eventually everyone in the group became settled by my presence each time I dropped in. Once dismembering the group of attackers, I turned to Kaldur with a confident smile.
"So, I spotted this really good looking Chinese place a couple of blocks down - wanna join me?"
"Sure thing, babe," Kid Flash said with a eager smirk on his face. I scoffed and pushed him away by the face.
"Not you, fast stuff." I looked at Kaldur. "You in?" He smiled slightly.
"Of course."
"So, Kaldur," I began as I swallowed a mouthful of the Chinese takeaway, "why were you and Red Arrow together that night?" Kaldur sighed and stared down at the box of noodles.
"Roy told me about how he was looking for you, and that he needed my help. I accepted, of course." I nodded slowly and looked back at my own food.
"Is there a reason you do not join us?" I raised my head again.
"Huh?" Kaldur looked at me with puzzlement.
"You have helped us so many times - the team, I mean. Why do you refuse to become a member?" I sighed and looked down, suddenly finding myself dissatisfied with my meal.
"Look, I-I've been alone for so long, it just- it doesn't feel right, you know?" I glanced over at him before back down at the food, pushing it around with the chopsticks. "I wouldn't know how to fit in - I rarely play by the rules anymore." Kaldur placed a hand on top of mine, making me look at him as he stared at me with a smile.
"We can help you - I can help you." His words slowly sunk in and I stood abruptly from my seat.
"Kaldur, look, I'm- it's not- I can't-" I groaned. "Why is it so hard to talk to you?" I complained loudly, threading my fingers through my hair as I turned around.
"(V/N)-"
"I can't, Kaldur. I just-" I sighed. "I can't explain it. I'm sorry, Kaldur." I turned around to see his eyes full of sadness and want. Climbing down the ladder I looked one last time at Kaldur.
"Please don't follow. Just- just forget about me, alright?"
Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case. Watching the news I saw that the team was starting to slack without my interventions. I hurriedly turned off my TV when my phone began to ring. Maybe it's just a sales person I told myself before I picked up.
"Hello?"
"(Y/N)?"
"Roy? How did you get my number?"
"Uh," he let out a loud breath, "complicated?"
"Complicated?" I huffed. "No, see, what's complicated is that you left me, then suddenly-"
"(Y/N), I'm-"
"Don't say you're sorry - you've had too long to say that."
"That's not what I'm trying to talk to you about." His words silenced me in confusion.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"It's Kaldur. He hasn't been acting normally." I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
"So?"
"'So'? That's all you have to say after fighting alongside him for so long?" I gripped the phone.
". . . yeah? And your point is?"
"Just- talk to him, please." I chewed on my lower lip.
"How do you know we're close."
"I've seen you talking - I think he likes you."
"Aren't you my brother? You're supposed to keep boys - wait, you've been following me?!" My question was left unanswered as the line rang dead.
I stared as I sat hidden within the shadows of the alley way, watching Kaldur and his team fighting a couple of Cobblepot's men. There would've been a time I would intervene for information on Cobblepot; but for now, I knew that the team needed my help. Lashing out from the alley way, I struck down on one of the men, a satisfying slap ringing out as his body hit the pavement. However, the feeling didn't last long as another man sprinted over, his knife waving all over the place in his unsteady hand. As he raised his hand to strike down, a sudden wave of water devoured him. I glanced to see Kaldur, his face contorted in anger.
"Didn't think you'd show," he growled as turned around to fight another one of Cobblepot's men. I rolled my eyes although he couldn't see it.
"Looked like you needed the help - you're welcome by the way." I glanced over to see that Kaldur was intentionally oblivious to my words.
"You want to know why I said no to your little request?" I growled as I punched another man.
"Please - enlighten me," Kaldur replied bitterly.
"Do you know why Roy was looking for me?" Kaldur was quiet. "It's because I'm his sister." I didn't bother to look to see Kaldur's reaction, too busy blocking a kick to my stomach and returning it with my own.
"I thought that if I did start getting close to you, you and Roy would have a falling out or something, you know? Protective brother, a guy, you know the drill. And I thought that-" A block. "I didn't think-" A punch. "I never-" Another kick. "Oh, my God, it's too hard to talk to you, you know that?" I swirled around. "Kaldur, I l-" My words were cut short as a hand landed on the back of my neck, pulling me forwards as a pair of lips slammed onto mine in a kiss. It wasn't soft or calm like those you see in the movies. This one was more angry and needy. I pulled away, gasping for air as I looked up at him. My eyes darted to see the rest of his team staring at us with hanging jaws. I grinned and looked back at Kaldur.
"I like you, Kaldur." He grinned back, his hand still holding the back of my neck.
"I like you, too." I breathed a laugh and glanced away, pulling myself out of his grip.
"Um, am I the only one who didn't see this coming?"
"Seriously, Wally? Out of everything that just happened, and you're more shocked about this, than her being Roy's sister?"
