Finally!

Ciao Cuties.... It's finally done! I have finished the first chapter of one of my fan fiction stories. Hey, this is the "Comic Spectrum', isn't it? Well, just so you know, it is a slash between Roy Harper & Dick Grayson. Fangirls rejoice! For right now, anyway. The way it is going, there is a strong chance it will stay an angst story. Well, here we go!
For a While


Summary: Dick indulges Roy after some shocking news
Advisory: Fairly explicit slash m/m Nightwing/ Arsenal Dick x Roy
Continuity: A slight veer off my Batalinaverse
Disclaimer: All easily recognizable characters: © of their respective owners. Although, if I did own these characters, they would be treated a lot better....


Chapter One: Heartbreak is a Cruel Mistress

“Alright. No, it’s fine. Really. Cool. Well, I’ll catch you later Gillhead. Harper out.”

Dazed, shocked, confused & angry, Roy Harper hung the phone back on the wall & sat down at the kitchen table in Outsiders HQ. Without anything else to do, he silently sobbed & convulsed.

Never before has he felt so betrayed, furious, or lost. Normally, he was a strong force in the Outsiders. However, at that moment, that wasn’t the case. Doctor Light could beat him down. He was heartbroken.

His friend, Garth (AKA Tempest), had called him, giving him updates on his soon - to - be ex- girlfriend Donna Troy (AKA the former Wonder Girl, or Wonder Whore as he now called her).

Apparently, when the hospital admitted her for a broken leg & violent stomach pains, she was given a pregnancy test along with others. She was 6 weeks along, unfortunately for Roy.

When confronted with the news, she admitted that she has been involved in an affair with Maxwell Lord that started 3 months ago & that Max wanted to take it one step further.

She reasoned that since he had left Star City, she was lonely & needed someone. After that, she refused to say anymore to Garth or his other friend or his other friend Wally West (AKA Flash), & showed them out.

Roy Harper. Adventurer. CBI agent. Superhero. Saver of intergalactic worlds. Single father. Boyfriend taken for a ride.

How could he be so stupid? This was not the first time this happened. The first time Donna cheated on him was with the guys’ friend Kyle Rayner. However, Kyle & Donna weren’t in their best frame of mind at the time, & were forgiven.

The next time was with on of Dick’s good friends, Calvin Townsend. Details were fuzzy though. All he knew was that Dick was on the phone arguing with Calvin the day after the scandal was uncovered.

“Look at me now”, he thought. “I should’ve left the first time, but I needed someone. And Lian did too.”

Roy began to convulse & sob more at the thought of his 8 year old daughter, Lian. She regarded her as her second mother, even going far enough to call her Auntie Donna. He shuddered at the fact that he would have to tell her what happened. Lian would be crushed when she knew that “Auntie Donna” was leaving the family for a crime lord that just got resurrected about 5 months ago.

It wasn’t the fact that Donna was pregnant; that he could deal with. Was it the fact that she cheated again? Donna was just the cheating type. No, what really made him upset was that the baby’s father wasn’t him; it was Max. It had to be Max. The one who shot Ted Kord point blank in the head & walked away. Angry tears burned as they streamed down his flushed face. Not Owen. Not Lex. Not Wally. Not Bruce. Hell, not even Gar, Joey, or Kyle, as much as she hung around them. The baby was going to have a cold – blooded killer as a father. He silently hoped that Diana would snap his neck again before something else goes down. Thoroughly deepened in his brooding state, he failed to notice his personal sage walking into the kitchen, searching for a snack...
