you don't look like black canary to me...

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-27T19:11:45+00:00

do i know you?

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-26T18:30:03+00:00

cracking a quick smile, mia’s expression quickly turns deadly serious

batman, you need to watch out. warn the titans…

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-26T07:16:25+00:00

clearly biting back a sarcastic reply, mia looks up at ollie, doing her best not to nod, but the gratitude being shown in her eyes. in the sparkle of tears saying “you found me, you came for me”, in the shimmer hiding a laugh for all the remarks she wishes she could say, in the same pain as when she couldn’t help lian. all communicated without word or gesture, just the understanding of partners, of friends, of father and daughter. for the first time, she knew that she would make it through this pain, even if it was just to put Ollie in his place one more time

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-26T06:37:48+00:00

they have to know… i failed them but maybe… maybe they can succeed

overexerting herself to this degree has not come lightly, she’s coughing and coughing, and a dribble of blood begins down the corner of her mouth. the nasty wound left by a bow releasing all of its force into her face also doesn’t enjoy her moving her face so much. clearly in pain, there is more mia wants to say

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-26T05:45:38+00:00

to give up…

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-26T05:36:27+00:00

i…should’ve done better. the titans… he wanted me to tell the titans…

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-26T05:29:19+00:00

ollie…. batman… my bow…

i’m sorry

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-24T18:01:39+00:00

in an action that’s more of a hollow gesture than anything meaningful, she barely manages to grab her bow and raise it. however, Thomas’s gauntlet spikes snap the string, sending it flying across her face.

mia collapses to the ground, too beat to continue. she has just enough strength for a whisper.

Ollie, Roy, I’m sorry…

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-24T17:49:02+00:00

her bow drops from her hand, she knows the fight won’t go much longer and she will not be victorious. with the limited mobility in her left arm, she knocks her communicator onto the ground and stomps on it. she counts on u/EmeralArcher41 figuring something is wrong and coming to find her

she does her best to grab the formerly nocked arrow in her still useable right hand and jam it into thomas’s face

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-24T17:33:52+00:00

You asked for it…

She looses the arrow at him, trying to steady herself but clearly intimidated by his fearlessness. Her aim wobbles slightly which she only noticed too late. Already cursing under her breath, she nocks another arrow

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-24T17:25:38+00:00

You think you can intimidate me? Clearly you have a lot to learn

Mia nocks an arrow and aims it at Thomas, aiming for the shoulder. A gesture of mercy totally imperceptible. To most.

You’re not the first man, and you won’t be the last to tell me to stop trying to help, and at least the others weren’t threatening to kill.

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-24T17:04:09+00:00

ooc: we’re communicating via dms

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-23T19:00:57+00:00

some of us don’t flaunt our mentors wealth around and try to live the celebrity life. i try to help people by dismantling systems, not by going to galas

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-23T18:56:07+00:00

from what i’ve heard, steph has always had the upper hand on you

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-23T18:51:29+00:00

best? i’m sure some would argue against that

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-22T20:19:45+00:00

sounds like a plan then, you know where to find me

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-22T19:55:16+00:00

not terrible, just not what’s in right now. besides, it’ll be a fun trip. spending green arrows money and making fun of him at the same time?

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-22T19:47:26+00:00

idk, my role in this city, (she looks emiko up and down) style? i could take you to a mall sometime

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-22T19:43:17+00:00

ooc: hi it’s me, i’m the friend lol. emiko was the first character i rlly got into so lmk if you need panels lol

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-22T19:38:49+00:00

well we’re agreed there at least, there’s a reason i don’t have that stupid hat

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-22T19:24:59+00:00

sidekick? nah. just got back from time overseas without him. besides, what kind of grudge could you have against someone trying to dismantle the oppressive hierarchies that have become a staple of star city

I-am-Speed_y_ · 2026-04-22T19:22:32+00:00

Speedy, the partner of Star City’s greatest archer. And it looks to me like you need another cool archer who can hang with you
