Half Knight: The Apprentice of Deathstroke: Arrowverse Fanfiction

Monologue

Because I miss them.

My name is Tyler Rain, and I am the last person with the Mirakuru. When I was a boy, I was kidnapped and tortured for three weeks. When I returned, I was broken, so when a Slade Wilson offered me a chance to never feel that pain again, I jumped at the chance. To honor my sister's memory, I am trying to be the hero she knew I could be. And to keep my promise to the woman I love, I can't be a killer, I have to find a better way, I have to be the Half Knight!

Previously on, everything but this:

Tyler Rain is the last, and as far as I am aware of, the only person with the Mirakuru.

I opened the door to the second floor, when all of a sudden, a massive blade came right at me. I was able to jump back before it could hit me. The blade cut through the wall and the door like they were nothing. Now standing in the broken doorway was a man about my height with short brown hair, blue eyes, and tan skin. He was wearing armor similar to Deathstroke's, with a mixture of red, dark blue, and black.

"Hey Tyler. Long time no see."

"You're dead!"

"Shit."

/

Tyler charged at me, I got a big table in between us, and he just swung his sword through the table with ease, cutting it in half.

/

"So you can actually control your Mirakuru anger? How?

"Because I want to, I am willing to try. And as you are aware of, I still don't have it all under control"

/

"Do you have the cure?"

"Yes."

"And as you are aware of, especially since you tried this before, you know it doesn't work on me."

/

"A few months before Slade found me, I was kidnapped. I was held hostage for weeks, and during that time, they tortured me. I am not going into great detail, but they tortured me for weeks on end. Until the police found us, and saved me. After that, I couldn't think straight, I was always having nightmares. And then Slade found me. A broken boy, and he offered me a chance to never feel that pain again. To never be defenseless again. He offered me strength. And I didn't even hesitate when I said yes. Today, if that happened, I would have told him no, along with some other harsh words. But I was given the enhanced Mirakuru, and all my scars disappeared, at least physical scars." Tyler explained.

/

"What did he say?" Tyler asked.

"Nothing good."

"What did he say Raatko?"

"He called Stephanie a whore." I answered, giving up.

Stephanie was hurt, but Tyler, I couldn't read Tyler's face. He looked like he was contemplating something. But before we could say anything, Hanzo walked by right next to Tyler. And before Hanzo could get past him, Tyler grabbed him by his throat and hoisted him in the air.

"TYLER!" Stephanie shrieked.

"Oh fuck." I sighed, knowing what was about to happen.

Guns were cocked and aimed at us, mostly at Tyler. I quickly put on my arm bracers, and a few guns moved to me.

"Apologize." Tyler growled to the man in his grasp.

"Fuck you." Hanzo muttered.

"Wrong answer." Tyler said before throwing him at the wall of scotch. There was a splotch of blood where Hanzo hit.

/

Before any of us could say anything else. A body came flying at the two men, knocking them down. One of the men tried to get up and shoot, but there was a gunshot, and that man fell over, with blood trickling down his forehead. Tyler came into view, covered in blood, with an empty handgun aiming at that man, before he tossed the gun aside. The other guy got both bodies off of him and aimed his rifle at Tyler. But Tyler was already next to him, and he grabbed the rifle from him and broke it in half. He then thrusted his one of his fists into the man's stomach and the other fist followed, right under the first. Stephanie and I then watched in horror as Tyler ripped the man in half.

/

"TYLER! THINK ABOUT LYDIA!" I shouted.

Tyler's fist stopped in mid air. He looked over at me in confusion, all rage began to leave his face. He looked down at the man beat to a pulp, and reality began to set on him. He looked horrified at what he just did. He got up and stumbled back towards us.

"How did you know about Lydia?"

/

"Who is Lydia?" Stephanie asked.

"She was my sister. After I got back from my kidnapping, everyone constantly asked me what happened. Lydia did too, at first, but then she must haven seen how it was affecting me. So she started to just comfort me instead. Lydia was a kind sweet person. She was my best friend."

"What happened to her?" Stephanie asked.

"I left Slade's army for one reason, her. After my run in with Lee and the rest of the army being cured. I tried calling her, but she wouldn't pick up. I went to find her, but when I did. She was already gone."

/

"I was Slade's pawn during the siege. It wasn't to the extent of you apparently, but yeah. When Fuyoko showed her true colors, I felt so much rage. And I saw-" Tyler said before he cut himself off.

"When your Mirakuru makes you hallucinate, you see Lydia don't you?"

"Yeah. I know she is not my sister, she is just the Mirakuru fucking with me, but she feels so real."

/

"Well, you are right with that. I barely reacted because he wasn't the first celestial I have faced."

"Who was the first?"

"Artemis. Years ago she tried to kill me, and I barely survived that."

"Wait, Artemis, as in the goddess of the hunt? How do you survive a goddess? I am pretty sure even your League training couldn't have helped you that much?"

/

"Hey, I had a life before the Mirakuru you know."

/

"But do me a favor. Keep Tyler around ok. I don't know how much of the League is left, but I would feel a lot better if I knew you had someone with you. Tyler is a good guy, he may have an incredible temper, but he is a good guy."

/

"So what about you Tyler? Are you dating Chloe?" Lee asked.

"Yes."

"Sorry man, I know you li- wait what!"
