Oath: Rewritten Chapter 1.

Before I begin I want to say this is simply a rewritten version of my story Oath. The basic plot will be the same but I will be adding more details, better grammer, less confusing, no betas, and finally a more clearly pointed storyline. Basically this is Oath version 2.0, I will be taking everything from the original story, upgrading it and then putting them here. I will be keeping the other story up and reviewing the chapters so I can try and put them in a similar fashion. Though you will see that some arcs maybe expanded, and the chapters will be different but still hold most of the same things. If anyone sees that this is against the rules of the website can you please notify me so I do not get banned from this site? Been on here for 4+ years and don't wanna loose that privilage. Alright on with the story.

In the mid of night Roy stood on one of the buildings in Gotham City. Now most people would be wondering why he was there considering he was the partner of the famous Green Arrow. Well former partner, he had quit that morning after being refused access to the Justice League's real H.Q. But the important question was, why was Roy in the Bat's city? The answer to that is he is waiting for a certain bird themed hero, as well as the fastest boy alive. He looked down at his duffle bag and remembered the exact conversation he had with the two boys.

"This isn't fair!" Roy growled punching a nearby punching bag. "Ya, your telling me." Wally mumbled from the bleachers beside him. "I was so excited on seeing the Justice League's headquarters." He added under his breath. "This is so degrading." Richard exclaimed throwing several birdrangs at a nearby target. "Tell me about it." Wally replied shaking his head. "We've been partners and apprentices to three of the League's best, and proven multiple times that we can be trusted, yet we're not allowed to actually see where they work?!" Richard stated turning to the two.

"That's exactly why I quit." Roy replied as both Wally and Richard looked at him. "Wait, you were serious about that?" Wally asked on his feet. "Damn right, I was. If Ollie doesn't trust me enough to even see his real base then he can kiss my ass goodbye." Roy answered launching a right hook towards the punching bag which caused it to go swinging. "Man Roy, your so lucky. I mean you get to go off on your own." Wally mumbled crossing his arms over his chest. "It's not like Ollie approves of it, and whats stopping you from doing it?" Roy asked turning towards Wally. "Well, I don't have a place to go. Otherwise I'd be gone in a nano-second." Wally explained as Roy leaned against the punching bag. "Well if I offered you a place to stay, do you think you'd come?" Roy offered looking at him.

"Like I said I'd be gone in a nano-second." Wally replied with a small smile. "Well what about you Richard?" Roy asked turning his attention to said bird-boy. Richard looked at them in deep thought for a moment. "Are you asking me to betray Batman's trust and come join you without any details? Basically a leap of faith?" Richard asked as Roy gulped. He didn't mean it to be put that blunt but that was basically what he was asking. "Um ya?" Roy tried as Richard looked impassive for just a moment. "I'm in." Richard replied rather quickly.

If either of them had been drinking anything they would have spit it out. "Did you just say your in?" Wally asked almost stuttering. "Damn right I am. If Bats doesn't trust me enough to show me the true H.Q then like you said Roy; 'he can kiss my ass goodbye'." Richard replied causing both his brothers to smile. "Well Damn." Roy said rubbing the back of his head. "Didn't expect you guys to actually say yes." Roy continued with a large smile on his face. "We would've gone whether you liked it or not." Richard proclaimed as Wally used Roy's shoulder as an arm rest. "Face it Roy, your stuck with us." Wally proclaimed smiling largely.

Roy smiled at the memory of the two. From here on out things would get harder before they got easier and they both knew it. So for now he waited, until they both showed and they could begin their new lives. "Yo, Roy." A familiar voice called out. Roy turned to see Wally standing there in front of him holding a large duffle bag. "Your early Wally." Roy said walking over to greet his new brother. He held out his hand which Wally instantly took. "So Richard's not here yet?" Wally asked looking for the little bird. "Not yet but he should be here anytime." Roy answered as Wally nodded and set his stuff down.

Two minutes later a light cackle awoke them from their light trances each had fallen into, both thinking of whether or not they were doing the right thing. "Looks like I'm last for once." Richard called out stepping out from the shadows. He was carrying a black duffle bag and smiled slightly. "Alright boys, you got everything you needed?" Roy asked looking at the two. Wally and Richard nodded at him. "Richard put your stuff down. Then bring it in." He told both boys. Richard dropped his stuff and walked over to Roy and Wally. They did a huddle like thing.

"Alright boys. Last chance to back out. Once we leave this rooftop there is no going back." Roy stated his tone of voice lower then usual. He watched as both boys closed their eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. When both opened their eyes, there was no hesitation. No only determination and most importantly confidence. "Last chance Roy. You can still ditch us, and head where ever your heading." Wally teased lightly. Roy smiled slightly. "I would but I'd come home to two little boys sleeping on my brand new sofa." Roy teased right back.

"Alright, boys from tonight we are no longer 'sidekicks' as people like to call us. No from now on that word is nonexistent. We will be three young heroes rising to meet whatever occasion arrives. Flash, Batman, and Green Arrow have all proven how much they actually trust us today. From today on we are a family." Roy told them. "That will stand beside you. Even if the world is against you." Wally added with a small smile as memories of his abusive father ran through his mind. "That will be there to catch you, if you fall, then knock the shit out of whoever made you fall." Richard continued on. None of them knew that what they said would forever linger in their minds for years to come.

"Alright boys. Let's head out." Roy proclaimed breaking the huddle. The three boys grabbed their duffle bags and descended the building and into the warehouse which they were atop of. Inside the warehouse was a large zeta-tube, a bunch of Batman's gear, and motorcycles like there was no tomorrow. Roy walked over to the bike he had brought from Star City and began tying his duffle bag to the side of it. It was a red Honda ST1300, modified for his personal use Richard walked past the various bikes, stopping at a pure black modern Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14, again modified for his personal usage. He began the process of tying his stuff to the end of it.

Wally sped through the bikes looking for the perfect one. Normally he'd super-speed to his destination but since they were going low-key he decided to pick a bike. He stopped at a blue Suzuki Hayabusa and smiled to himself. Like his brothers he mounted the duffle bag to the end of it. Five minutes later the boys were ready to go except for one last detail. Richard was currently disarming all of the trackers and activating the fake ones he had brought with them, that way they wouldn't get caught, at least not right away. Roy and Wally on the other hand were arming the mini-bomb that Richard had brought. When they left there would be no trace of where they went. If the league wanted to find them, they'd have to spend a lot of time trying to do so.

"Alright Dickie-bird we're all done at this point." Wally proclaimed with a large smile. "Alright, give me thirty seconds. That should give you enough time to figure out how to work your bike Walls." Richard called out as Roy began mounting his motorcycle. Wally scoffed at the comment and went over to his. "Alright one question before we go." Wally stated as Richard finished up his job on the computer and walked over to his bike. "Yea?" Roy asked looking at his brother. "Can I press the button?" He asked with a small smile.

Roy was half way to saying no but the smile on his face made him shrug. He tossed the detenator to Wally who caught it. "Remember exactly forty yards, then press and boom." Roy explained as Wally nodded. "Alright, then let's blow this popsicle stand." Richard called out as they all started their bikes and reved their engines three times each. "Literally." Roy added with a small smile. The three dashed out into the streets at alarming speeds. Once they were exactly forty yards away, Wally pressed the button and boom went the warehouse. It burst into flames as the three dashed through the streets and towards their destination. Roy led the way, since the other two didn't know the location yet.

They drove for two hours straight, until they arrived in a town called Bludhaven(don't have the wiggle line for the u sorry). As they drove they watched thugs do their business until they arrived at a large three story building on the edge of town. It had a large green yard, which was very unBludhaven like. There was a single apple tree in the front yard. To the side of the house was a large garage capable of fitting at least four of Bruce's favorite cars. Roy pressed a button on his bike as they approached the garage. The metal door opened up and the three rode into it. The garage had a cement floor and was basically barren except for the three bikes now parked inside it. There were quite a few cans of spray paint littering the ground but other then that it was pretty clean.

They each dismounted their bikes and Roy smiled. "Alright boys, this is our new home." He called out walking over to the door that led to the house. "Wow Roy, very low budget. I take it the bathrooms a bucket?" Richard teased which earned a small chuckle from his brothers. "I wish, we gotta dig a hole outside." Roy shot back as he unlocked the door. Roy led the three into what looked to be a decently large kitchen. It had a steel stove, a nice white fridge, along with pine wood cabinets along with a granite counter top. To the side was a large glass table with three highly expensive wooden chairs.

"Obviously this is Wally's favorite room in the house, the kitchen." Roy said gesturing the room as they walked through it and into a large living room. Inside the living room, was a large light blue sofa that looked a little beaten down. Two very beat up recliners to the side of it. A small tv in front of the objects and a wooden table in front of the couch. "Wow. Looks like whoever used to live here, spent most of their money on the kitchen." Wally quipped as Roy shrugged. "We'll be going shopping for new furniture later this week." Roy explained as Richard nodded. "Next is the bathrooms, the bedrooms then the attic, finalized by my own little addition to the house." Roy stated leading them all up the wooden stairs.

Once they got to the top there were exactly three doors on both his sides. "Your bathroom is directly across from your room." He said nodding to the doors on his left. "Richard, yours is the second one one the left. Wally your's is the third on the left. Mines the first." He said opening the first door to reveal a smallish double bed. There was a small desk in the corner and some blankets next to it. He nodded going over to Richard's door and opening up. It was almost exactly like his only there was no window beside the desk like his was.

He walked over to the last door was. He opened it and it was basically the exact same thing as his only there were two windows. "Alright boys. Attic time." He said leading them up another pair of creaky stairs where the attic was. Inside the attic were two large windows on both the sides. A bunch of random items laying about. An expensive telescope. A bunch of old computers and motorcycles. "I figured we could use this as an emergency escape if we ever need it. So we'll prepare it occordingly." Roy said as both brothers explored the room. "We'll definitely have to modify these bikes for our standards." Richard said looking at the bikes. "That and I'm so gonnna modify this telescope, maybe even turn it into a ray gun." Wally said examining the telescope. "A ray gun?" Roy asked as Wally nodded.

"Ya, that or a heat ray. Maybe with attatchments for the bikes so we can mount it and then if we ever need it. Boom there it is." Wally explained as Roy nodded. "Not a bad idea Wally." Roy said nodding his head. "Ya, you never know when we'll need one." Richard said nodding as well. "Alright now for your surprise." He stated leading the two down both flights of stairs again. He led them into the garage and flipped a switch the two had failed to notice before. Soon a staircase opened in front of them. "Really our own lair?!" Wally cried in happiness.

"Head Quarters Wally." Richard immediately corrected. "Ya lair makes us sound like villains." Roy nodded in acknowledgement. The three descended the stairs. When they arrived it was a large barren space with just a concrete floor. "Wow Roy, barren much?" Wally asked raising an eyebrow. "Like I said, we're going shopping later this week." Roy said stifling a yawn. "But for now I think we should all get some sleep." Roy stated as both Richard and Wally yawned simultaneously. "I agree with Roy." Wally mumbled rubbing his eyes. "Ya. I'll get started on the in the morning. That way we can actually go out into town. You do have hair dye and stuff right?" Richard asked looking at Roy. "Damn right I do. But like I said sleep first, changes in the morning." Roy stated sternly. The two nodded all ascending the two flights of stairs which the first one closed upon exiting of course.

"Good night brothers." They all said unanimously before all going into their rooms for a well deserved rest. They all fell asleep with the same thought on their mind. 'We will show them exactly how good we actually are.'

Alright everyone. First try and upgrading. I think it is so far. I apologize for doing this but as I've started writing my novel I've learned a lot of new things and improved my writing style. Oath had my older and more dare I say it pathetic writing style. This will still become the story you've learned to love but it will be at a slightly slower pace. I also need more hardcore reviewers. Basically telling me if the quality drops! Remember this is supposed to be Oath 2.0. Next time on Oath: Richard, Wally, and Roy all begin the upgarding of their house and their H.Q. But that's all for now. also I blame azfaerydust for getting me started on saying the following(because of her damn amazing story) though it is now my signature. Ja Ne
