Speedy and you were both on the Titans East team but, you never got along. Anytime you were in the same room, the two of you broke out into some stupid argument. It was always something so petty and pointless. But, it happened. Every. Single. Time. The other members hated it but, there was nothing that they could really do.

One day, you were out fighting with Overload. Speedy was shooting his arrows, Mas y Menos were trying to keep the citizens at bay, Aqualad was trying to keep Overload away from the power lines with his water manipulation, and Bumblebee was using her stingers. You were, of course, helping with the fight but, couldn't help but notice the way Overload was moving.

And, like always, your hunches were correct. You threw yourself in front of Speedy, who was the target for Overload's attack. You were electrocuted, and knocked to the ground.

"NO!" Speedy's panicked shout was the last thing you heard before everything went dark.

"Be careful!" Speedy snapped at Aqualad, who was tending to your wounds. Your eyes were slowly opening, your vision blurry, as they fluttered open. The first thing you saw was a blinding white light, then Aqualad, and then Speedy. The worry clearly etched on his face.

Your vision was still swimming, your body heavy and buzzing with the leftover static of Overload’s attack. You blinked slowly, trying to focus on the muffled voices around you. Aqualad’s calm tone drifted in first.

“Easy— don’t move too much yet. You took quite the hit.”

Speedy’s voice cut in, sharp but shaky. “She should’ve let me take it— you shouldn’t have— what were you thinking?”
