(Solo Series) Arsenal:Redemption Pt.1 Nightly Robberies
This was intended to be an app for Arsenal in the DCSG, I had planned on fixing up the character and bringing him back to his prime, pre rise of arsenal, I was told I couldn't use him since he was In the outlaws series, I assumed it would be like the league where characters from it have their own series, but I decided not to argue and now I'm going to release this one story, and maybe if I get lucky I can nudge this into DCSG cannon, though that's just wishful thinking, anyways enjoy.

Star City
A couple days ago I had gotten an anonymous tip that there was gonna be some robbery in Star City, honestly I don’t know why I didn’t just tell Ollie, but nonetheless I headed back to my old home. I have been alone recently,some of my friends have left town recently on their own business, so i've been alone, if I'm being honest with myself, I'm not in the best shape right now, but I won't let that slow me down, I can take out some thugs. Soon enough two shady looking men dressed in black walk in, one's wearing a long coat, the other one a jacket, one's bearded, the other one clean shaven,normally I would be drawing my bow, but I've been using a crossbow recently my advanced arsenal helps a lot, after all there's nothing like it. __________________________________________________
"Alright Roy, you know why we came down here to the range, right?”
“Well sure Ollie, I've gotta show you my archery skills.”
“Yeah, now it's okay if you mess up at first, I'm here to support you through this” we prepared to shoot, but in a shocking turn of events, I was able to draw my bow faster, with one swift motion I launch the arrow out of my hand, when it's began to take off, Oliver launches his, the two arrows race to their respective targets, and with a loud sound on impact, Roy's arrow hits first.
“Wow...that’s speedy!” he yelled out, joy and amazement came over his words.
“You know I kinda like that name, can you call me Speedy?”
“That sounds good, Speedy." _________________________________________________
I get my mind back on the mission, trying to concentrate I keep remembering that first time firing my bow with Ollie, I look down at my crossbow, with distain. Now time for the mission to really start, gotta get these thoughts off my mind, the thugs dash out of the bank and make a break for a little alley way on the right, but they won’t get away tonight. I jump down and shoot at the bearded thug, who in a scatterbrained move, jumped on to the other thug, knocking him down.
“COME ON LET’S GET OUTTA HERE!” the bearded thug scrams away, he doesn’t have any money, only this guy. I aim the crossbow at his face and he cowers in fear. I can see him clearly now, young man, early twenties, looks like a good kid, looks can be deceiving, I’m sure scum like this would use that.
“P-please man, I’ve got a little brother at home, come on man…please” I keep my crossbow pointed directly at his head, I might do it, I haven’t done it too recently, and I used to never do it, hell it wasn’t too long ago that I switched to using a crossbow.
Looking at this young man, cower in fear of me, as I hold a deadly weapon directly at his skull, it saddens me, things, things were different back then, everything was, back in Star City, now maybe it’s time to use an old trick Ollie liked.
“Your little brother, why are you taking care of him, what caused you to get custody?”
“My family visited Gotham, me my mom, and little brother, we had so much fun, then one day, one of the big time criminals showed up, we didn’t find her body for a week, when It finally turned up it was a miracle, she was alive, but comatose, I’ve been taking care of him ever since” the words fade into the black night as I begin to ask him more questions.
“Sorry for prying, but what about your father?”
“Was a good man worked for the CIA, during the prometheus incident he was killed, that damn man took a lot away from all of us” as I hear that I look at the portion of my arm that was cut off, covered by one of the gloves I wear, back when I worked for the Government on my last mission some pretty bad stuff happened and it led me on this path. Killing, causing pain, it’s not the right way, I've been operating In newer ways recently, and now it's time to change that. “Leave and go to your brother, but you need to let me bring the money back to the bank, and stay away from your partner, he seems like he intends to get you killed, oh and nice cap, much better than a trucker hat, I hate those things” I look around, cops will be here soon, he better hurry up.
“Alright, I’ll get outta here, and I defiantly agree with you on trucker hats” he begins to sprint the opposite direction of the alley, good to see those two won’t be meeting up, now it’s time to set out on a new chapter of my life, a story of redemption.

So that was the first part of my Arsenal series, It may last north of twenty issues, maybe more, It was essentially supposed to be a Roy Harper Rebirth, but in a big epic story where he confronts an old enemy, I hope you guys enjoyed it have a good day, bye.
