Chapter 5

"Do you see them, Dick?" Wally whispers while trying to look over Dick's shoulder.

"Well if you can't how could I?" Dick brings up keeping his voice down. "Wait, I think they're coming. Shhh."

Early that day Wally and Dick meet up at one of the Zeta-Tubes in Gotham City. The two boys used the Zeta-Tubes to travel to Star City so they could spy on their competition. Technically this wasn't cheating or against any rules since there were no rules forbidding this and who knows, maybe Kaldur and Fit have done the something.

All's fair in love and war.

Dick was able to hack Bruce's database and got some dirt on Speedy. Roy Harper, age 18. Orphan, adopted by Oliver Queen and acquainted with Black Cannery and Green Arrow.

According to Wally's intel, Roy would come to this abandoned gym once a week for the last 3 months at 2:30pm. He could be wrong but why else would Roy go to an abandoned gym on the outskirts of town.

Sunlight seeped through from back door of the gym and they could hear the sound of foot steps. Dick was hiding behind a wall leading out to the corridor to the changing rooms and Wally was resting his chin on top of his shorter friends head.

Stealth was one of Dick's strong suits since powers weren't really a strong suit. He almost always knew if he was being followed and how to slip away quickly thanks to Bruce's training and with the help of Alfred. Can you believe he used to be in MI6. Dick sure couldn't until Alfred taught him about espionage.

Wally had two modes. Goofy and hungry or serious and even at times a bit scary. He usually acted like the latter when it came to missions. His photographic memory also comes in pretty handy. He could remember every possible exit and knew every blind spot depending on the angle in which Roy was standing in.

The boys took a look at their competition scanning him from head to toe to see if he had any weaknesses.

Roy had short orange hair that was a bit darker than Wally's. The skin tight tank top showed off his well-built body as while as his light tan. He looked pretty agile but could definitely throw a lunch. The archer had to be at least 6 feet tall. Roy was holding a duffel in his right hand and seemed to be texting someone with his phone in his other hand. The tone on Roy's face suddenly changed from calm to suspicious.

Wally's heart skipped a beat as well as Dick's.

The creaky door opened once again and in walked another person which shifted Roy's attention.

Whoever walked definitely wasn't Aqua Lad.

Whoever she was she had long black hair tied into a ponytail and wore a baseball cap. She was very pretty, tall and fit sort of like a model or a spy.

"Hello honey," She greeted Roy almost flirtatiously. Dick and Wally had the same confused look on their face after they heard her call Roy honey. His profile never said anything about a romantic relationship and Bruce is extremely through.

"Don't call me honey, Jade."

"Someone seems like he's been having a bad day."

"Observant as ever I see."

"Did you tell Ollie yet Sargent sarcasm?"

"Jade, you know if he knew I was with you and about Lian... not to mention "

"You can always just ditch him and go solo. That yellow hat looks pretty ridiculous on you. Or anyone for that matter. Do it for Lian."

There was a silence pause that only lasted for a moment. Suddenly the two boys heard a thud. They peeked around the corner. Roy had dropped the duffle bag in front of Jade. "This is all the money you need right?"
