Disclaimer: You know what I am going to say....I don't own DC. So just just read the story. Hope you enjoy.

Roy's pov:

It took everything in me not turn around and yell at them myself. Who did they think they were? They new nothing, nothing! It was Wally and I who were by Roxie's side when she had night terrors. It was us who were by her side in Young Justice. It was us who were by her side when we died in that simulator, not them. Sure, she had her fathers and other brothers, but they ruined their chance. Now she has only us.

All I could do is focus on spending time with my siblings, making them happy. They are both still young. Heck, I'm still young, too, but we chose this life. Now we have to stick together, no matter what.

"Roy?"

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Wally saying my name. I turned and looked to see him, concerned expressions written all over his face.

Sigh..."It's okay, let's focus on Roxy, alright, buddy?" I said, trying to ease his burden.

Wally noded, his head agreeing with me but the look in his eyes showing that we will be talking later. Soon we reached the gym, but Roxy wasn't there. So we headed over to her room, where we found her sitting on her bed, facing away from us.

"Hey guys, whazzup?" she said without looking at us. We sat down next to her. Me, on her right and Wally, on her left. A small smile lingered on her face, but her eyes were expressionless as she looked out her window, taking in the clear blue ocean.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Wally said. He got right to it, brave kid.

"What do you mean? Everything is, is just fine." Roxy said, not looking at him. She wore a fake smile, a smile she used on media stuff.

"Roxana, you don't have to hide with us," I said, putting a hand on her shoulder. She turned to look at me. "We get it. You're a Bat. You're supposed to be tough. But remember, your only twelve. You're still a kid. Your mask can come off... your physical AND mental mask. We will always be there for you. Where you go, we go forever and ever, right Walls?"

Wally noded wholeheartedly, grabbing her hand and holding it tight. I did the same. Suddenly, Roxy brokedown and started crying. We started hugged her, knowing that talking about the past is hard on her; what she had to leave behind, what she lost. Wally and I know there is more going on than her getting fired, but we won't tell the other Titans. It's not any of their concern, only ours.

After awhile Roxy started to calm down, her sobs slowly turning into small hiccups. I wiped the rest of her tears away. I hate to see her cry; it breaks my heart. I know Wally feels the same. Roxy gives me a real smile, while Wally goes in for another hug, which she happily returns.

I clap my hands to get their attention. "Now that's over and done with, how about we get dressed and Wally can speed us off to Rome for a relaxing day off?"

"Yeah!!" Both of them said at the same time, with stars in their eyes. Wally zoomed off to some far off mall and returned with a yellow T-shirt and red hoodie over it, blue denim jeans torn on the knees and black running shoes.

"Well, hurry up slow pokes." Wally said crossing his arms and tapping his foot as fast as his super speed would allow without causing damage to the floor. Roxy and I stood up to get ready, a smile on both our faces... real smiles. Oh yeah, today is going to be awesome.

AN: There you go! Sorry it's been so long. Ugh, life can be so stressful. Anyway, I'll try to update sooner but I can't guarantee anything. Sorry, again for the wait. Bye! I hope you have a nice day/evening/night.
