Four years have passed since Roy left his two siblings. Since then, he has become the protege of Green Arrow and has adopted the name of Red Arrow. He had no idea what was going on with his brother.

                White had been kidnapped by his own parents, and an evil agency known as Dark Ops. White had developed skills they decided made him a monster that needed to be experimented on. 

               His cell door was opened as Agents K and N came in. White was curled up, in a ball in the corner. His previously short brunette hair was now slightly longer, as well as white with gold streaks. He wore a tattered and torn white shirt and pants with white shoes. Something he was forced to wear. Around his neck was a black mechanical collar. Meant to prohibit his abilities unless they say so.

             ''St..stay a..away from m...me,'' the terrified boy stuttered.

              ''Like a monster has any choice in the matter,'' Agent K growled.

             The two agents forcefully picked him up by his arms. He winced in pain as they made his unhealed injuries worse.

               ''Oh, is the poor little freak in pain,'' Agent N taunted. ''Good.''

                They dragged him to the examination room. He tried pulling away, but the agents were too strong for him. They strapped him down to the table. His ''parents'' then came in with their tools. 

               ''P...please, d...don't,'' White pleaded.

               ''Shut up, monster,'' his ''mom'', Dr.Fortune, ordered.

               ''Roy, h...help,'' White said.

              ''Don't even dare speak his name,'' Mr.Fortune threatened. ''Muzzle him.''

              One of the agents quickly got a muzzle and gagged White with it. The Fortunes then started their daily examination of him.  White's golden tears fell as they tortured him.

                                              *****At Mount Justice*****

              Batman called the team in for a mission briefing. Robin, Artemis, Superboy, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Miss.Martian all walked into the training room for the briefing. They were surprised to see Red Arrow there.

               ''Red Arrow has brought something mysterious to my attention,'' Batman says.

                Holographic pictures appeared behind him. They were of a large abandoned building surrounded by woods. The building looked like it was about to fall to the ground.

               ''This old hospital has been abandoned for years,'' Batman says.

                ''No kidding,'' Robin said. ''By the looks of it, it's libel to fall to pieces.''

               ''But I've discovered that electricity and water are still being sent there,'' Red Arrow pointed out. ''A lot of it, actually.''

                 ''Your mission is to investigate this place and see what is going there,'' Batman said. ''Red Arrow will be occupying you.''

                  The team piled into Ma'gann's Bioship. She took the controls and they took off.

                                               *****Line Break*****

               The team snuck into the the dark hospital. Miss.Martian, in camouflage mode, signaled that it was safe to come in. Robin pulled up the screen on his holo-glove. He typed in a few commands.

              ''You were right, Roy,'' the boy wonder says. ''Something around here is using up a lot of juice.''

               ''I don't see how,'' Kid Flash said, kicking some rubble out of the way. ''This place is a dump.''

                 ''Does the phrase, 'don't judge a book by its cover,' mean nothing to you,'' Artemis asked, annoyed.

                  Aqualad bent down, knocking on the floor. It didn't sound like wood or tile, more like metal.

                   ''This floor's a fake,'' he said. ''Whatever's using up all the power, it's not above ground. It's below ground.''

                     ''How do we get in,'' Red Arrow asked.

                    ''Superboy,'' Miss.Martian requested.

                     ''One door, coming up,'' the Superman clone said, cracking his knuckles.

                   He jumped up and punched the floor. Down below, part of the roof caved in as the super strength powered hero gave them a door. An alarm started blaring.

                 Agents K and N had been dragging the barely conscious White back to his cell. When the alarm started going off, they accidentally dropped him. Even in his weakened state, White saw his chance. He pushed the agents, and since they were confused by the alarm, they fell. White then went stumbling through the halls.

                   ''After him,'' Agent N yelled.

                  White stumbled through the halls. He clutched his side as it started bleeding again because of him trying to run. The crimson liquid was laced with gold. Whatever reason the alarm was for, he was prepared to take advantage of it.

                  ''I can't take it anymore,'' he thought. ''I can't be here anymore.''

                  But the agents had a different plan in mind. White wasn't too fast, as per his injuries. So they quickly caught up to him. Agent K tripped him, and White fell to the floor. He back away from them.

                  ''You're not going anywhere,'' the agent said.

                   He took out a remote from his pocket. Pressing the button, the collar lit up with electricity, shocking White. He tried to scream, but the muzzle muffled his cries. He was nearly unconscious at this point.

                  ''You know, he might be too much trouble at this point,'' Agent N says. ''Why not just get rid of him and say it was an accident.''

                   ''The world can use less monsters,'' Agent K said. ''Go, right, ahead.''

                   Agent N pulled out a gun from his holster. He aimed it directly at White's head. But he didn't even care if they killed him. When he was gone, at least he would finally be free from their torture. He let one last gold tear fall.

                   But before the gun went off, the agent was sent flying. He had been punched by a teen in a black t-shirt, jeans, and black boots. He quickly also knocked out Agent K. He touched his com-link.

                   ''Guys, you might want to get over here,'' Superboy said. ''I found someone. And he needs immediate help.''

                   ''P...please,'' White pleaded.

                 He then passed out in the hero's arms.
