He also uses many trick arrows along with some normal pointy ones like his mentor Green Arrow. Some of them are:

POWER: Roy has no powers to speak of.
BLOOD TYPE: B-
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual.
MENTOR: Green Arrow
SCARS AND MARKINGS: He does have some scars from going up against some villains over the years with most of them being on his arms that don’t have any sort of protection.
COLOR(S): Red and Black
UNIFORM: Starting at the bottom and working our way up, he wears a pair of black and gray boots that are designed for high intensity running and fighting. He wears a pair of black pants with padding on the kneecaps for when he has to spend an extended time kneeling. He also wears a belt with two pouches attached to it that holds useful gadgets that he might need for a given assignment. Each of his arms has fingerless gloves, but the one on his right hand is extended to just above the elbow and has a few patches of it missing. He has a black and red shirt that is designed to look like an arrow tip. Both his shirt and pants are made of a material that is similar to Kevlar, so that Red Arrow doesn’t take any unnecessary damage from gunfire. His quiver is strapped to his back by two gray straps that are connected across his chest. Naturally, he has a mask that covers his eyes only.

DESCRIPTION: Red Arrow is a Caucasian male that has slightly tanned skinned from extensive hours outside. He stands around six feet and two inches tall and weighs roughly one hundred and ninety-five pounds, which is mostly muscle. His body is very well toned with his upper body being more defined than the lower. He has auburn hair that he keeps short and up as well as blue eyes, and his face rarely has a smile on it when he is working. There are several scars across his body that come from knife wounds, bullet barrages and the occasional explosion.
PLAY-BY: Cam Gigandet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Fear:

Like most parents, he is afraid of anything bad happening to his daughter, and that he is the cause of it in some way like he was with the Team and the Light incident a few years back. He is also afraid of leaving his daughter without a father like he 'was', so he always puts her above anything.

Desire:

What he truly wants is to create a world where he doesn’t have to worry about his daughter every time that he leaves the house, and he doesn’t just mean the big villains. He wants to live in a world where the only thing that he has to worry about hurting his daughter is the occasional illness and some bumps and bruises from playing around with other kids.

HABITS:

When he gets bored or upset, he will lean against a wall and tap a finger on the opposing forearm while staring intently at something while looking very annoyed.

PET PEEVE:

Excessive joking or immaturity when working does push his buttons when he is on a mission and causes him to use his ‘fatherly’ voice with his fellow teammates.

STRENGTHS:
• Marksmanship: Roy has constantly trained himself in the art of accurately firing an arrow at a target  of any size and shape even when running through a battle, coming out of a roll or jumping through the air while spinning. He is also capable of using other things as projectiles when his bow becomes useless or he is out of ammo.
• Hand to Hand: He has been trained to fight by some of the best like Black Canary, and he is capable of using his bow as a quarterstaff if the need should arise. While he isn't a master martial artist like some of his compatriots, he is capable of going toe to toe with some of them long enough to figure out another way of dealing with them.
• Stealth: Like any good user of a range weapon, Roy is adept at getting around without attracting the attention of his target, and he is capable of following a target and infiltrating buildings fairly well.
• Investigation: While he may not have been trained by the world's greatest detective, he is more than capable of doing research, following leads and putting two and two together like an average detective.

WEAKNESSES:
• No Power: Roy is just a normal human with no bizarre powers that will protect him from getting injured by fists, projectiles or superpower, and he is especially susceptible to mental attacks.
• Family: Like anyone with a family, they are his anchor, his treasure and the one thing that he must protect, and his family includes the Team and the League. His moral compass goes out the window when one of them is in danger.

TRAITS:

Roy is a very serious person with or without his mask on, and he doesn’t take to kindly to anyone who belittles what he does or tries to lighten the mood by making opportunistic jokes like his mentor does. When someone does, there is about a two to three second window before he snaps at them either verbally or physically, and it takes him a minute to regain his composure. Most of the time he can come off as being very blunt with his opinions about people or situations, and he has a high opinion of his own capabilities and dislikes being asked for help but loves to be asked.

He is a very honorable person that believes in right and wrong, but at the same time he does allow for some wiggle room with it as he can’t bring himself to bring in his estranged wife. Mainly, he doesn’t want his daughter to grow up without a mother, and there isn’t anything that he wouldn’t do for that little girl. She is the one thing that keeps him sane with all of his past issues, and if something were to happen to her then Roy would be pushed past the breaking point.

HISTORY: Red Arrow - Young Justice Wikia

Early life
Soon after Roy Harper became Speedy, he was captured by Luthor's men when investigating his dealings with North Rhelasia, and cloned by Cadmus.[4] The clone was implanted with the memories and abilities of the original Speedy as well as a subconscious mission to join the Justice League. Cadmus then laid breadcrumbs for Green Arrow to find; after three months, he was led to Speedy, but was unaware of the switch.

July 2010

STAR CITY: JULY 4, 09:01 PDT

Speedy and Green Arrow responded to Icicle Jr.'s attack on a suspension bridge in Star City. Eventually, Speedy knocked him out with a trick arrow. Green Arrow joked about Icicle's glass jaw, but an unamused Speedy was more focused on heading to the Hall of Justice. He was ready to become a full-fledged member of the League.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: JULY 4, 14:00 EDT

Green Arrow took Speedy to the Hall of Justice, where they joined Batman, Robin, Flash, Kid Flash, Aquaman andAqualad. Inside, Green Arrow and the other members of the League were called into a meeting. Speedy immediately sensed something amiss, and became infuriated when it turned out to be little more than a "glorified backstage pass". He revealed that Green Arrow had told him all about the League's real base, the Watchtower, and tried to get the others to see his point of view. When this failed, Speedy quit, throwing down his hat and storming out of the Hall of Justice to become his own man.

STAR CITY: JULY 17, 23:16 PDT

He subsequently returned to Star City, where he interdicted Brick's shipment of advanced weapons at the docks. News of his new solo act hadn't reached everyone; Brick still believed he worked with Green Arrow. An annoyed Speedy eventually encased him in high-density polyurethane foam. When Aqualad, Robin and Kid Flash came to try to convince him to join the Team, he refused. He told them that the Team was a joke and a means by which the Justice League could keep the sidekicks busy and in their place. He wished to have no part in it.

August 2010

INFINITY ISLAND: AUGUST 7, 23:49 ECT

After Serling Roquette of Star City's Royal University was kidnapped by the League of Shadows, Red Arrow traveled toInfinity Island to rescue her. He infiltrated the base and successfully rescued her, but not in time to prevent her from completing the Fog for the Shadows.

MOUNT JUSTICE: AUGUST 8, 19:55 EDT

Hoping to receive help in protecting Roquette, Red Arrow traveled to Mount Justice. He was not pleased to see Green Arrow and his new protégé, Artemis. Roy was distrustful of her, knowing full well that she was not Green Arrow's "niece" as was claimed by both Green Arrow and Artemis. He did not pursue the matter, and eventually gave the assignment to the Team: protecting Roquette in the local High School.

GOTHAM CITY: AUGUST 9, 01:16 EDT

Red Arrow intercepted Artemis when she returned to Gotham City. He confronted her about her "niece" lie, but would keep it a secret as both Batman and Green Arrow would only lie for a very good reason. That would change, however, if she hurt the Team.

September 2010

TAIPEI: SEPTEMBER 7, 19:20 NST

Roy followed up on a lead that Cheshire was out to disrupt the peace summit between North and South Rhelasia. She was indeed nearby, ready to shoot the independent arbitrator in the gridlocked negotiations as he arrived by car. A well-placed arrow sent the rocket propelled grenade flying up instead. The police arrested both him and Cheshire, but at the behest of the arbitrator, Lex Luthor, Red Arrow was released. Luthor offered to hire him as a bodyguard, but Roy declined any money from him. The bemused Luthor accepted the free offer.

Red Arrow visited Cheshire in jail to interrogate her. He was unsuccessful in getting information, as she only fed him vague answers and teases. When Sportsmaster broke Cheshire out of prison, Red Arrow pursued them across the rooftops. They eventually made it to the escape helicopter. Red Arrow shot an arrow with a line at the departing chopper, but Cheshire cut it off. Red Arrow managed to fire an arrow with a high-density foam tip, to make himself a safe landing site on a rooftop.
He was down, but not out; the arrow he shot at the helicopter had a tracer. He tracked Cheshire and Sportsmaster to the base of the League of Shadows, where he discovered the man behind Luthor's assassination attempt: Ra's al Ghul. However, Ra's was aware that Red Arrow was eavesdropping, and gave instructions to kill him. Cheshire and Sportsmaster engaged Roy, forcing him to flee. Sportsmaster mocked him and called him "Broken arrow", which was one of the code phrases implanted in him by Cadmus. Sportsmaster then programmed additional instructions and removed information from the archer. When it was finished, the fight continued as if nothing happened. Red Arrow was thrown into the moat surrounding the base, and managed to survive an explosive javelin Sportsmaster threw into the water. Safely reaching the other side, the exhausted Red Arrow finally admitted he was out of his league, and contactedAqualad for help.

Aqualad and Red Arrow joined the peace summit, hoping to foil Cheshire there. She was disguised as a waitress, but was spotted by Aqualad. Together, the two heroes stopped her bomb, but the explosion created a hole in the building allowing Sportsmaster and League of Shadows assassins to join the fray. Leaving Taipei police to deal with the mooks, Red Arrow engaged Cheshire and left Sportsmaster to Aqualad. He activated the sprinkler system by shooting an explosive arrow at the ceiling, allowing Aqualad to clear the room with his Atlantean magic. Although his water dragon took out numerous assassins, Cheshire obscured her and Sportsmaster's escape with a smoke bomb.

When the smoke cleared, a sole assassin leapt over the two heroes, straight for the Rhelasian leaders. They were saved when Mercy shot at the killer with her cybernetic arm. Awed at the technology involved, both Rhelasian leaders signed the peace treaty. Upon reflecting on their successful mission, Red Arrow and Aqualad discussed what had transpired. During his battle against Aqualad, Sportsmaster had revealed that he had a "very inside" source that told him the Team was in Bialya. Aqualad wanted to investigate the matter quietly, over Red Arrow's objections. However, Red Arrow left it at that, and admitted to his friend that the Team now deserves his respect—that was why he called the Cave instead of Green Arrow or the Justice League.

October 2010

STAR CITY: OCTOBER 1, 13:03 PDT

Red Arrow helped to ward off a giant plant creature in Star City, alongside Green Arrow and Black Canary. The three heroes were unable to save a bus full of children, but luckily, Guy Gardner caught it in time.

MOUNT JUSTICE: OCTOBER 31, 19:34 EDT

Red Arrow participated in a meeting with Batman, Red Tornado, Robin and Aqualad to determine the identity of the mole within the Team. He trusted Aqualad, Robin and Kid Flash, but suspected Artemis, because he knew she was not related to Green Arrow. He also did not trust Miss Martian. The meeting proved inconclusive, however.

December 2010

STAR CITY: DECEMBER 4, POST-22:06 CST

After secretly observing Green Arrow and Artemis take down Black Spider, Red Arrow grudgingly admitted to his former mentor that she was improving. Their conversation was cut short by the police band, who alerted them to a robbery of a local supermarket. They stopped the robbers together, "for old time's sake". After the criminals were apprehended, Green Arrow explained to Roy that he had been accepted into the Justice League, and would be inducted by the end of the year. But to set a good example, he was urged to join the Team first.

MOUNT JUSTICE: DECEMBER 5, 17:04 EST

Red Arrow's arrival at the Cave was met with enthusiasm from Kid Flash, but not so much from Artemis. At a time where she already felt insecure about her position in the Team, she felt another archer would make her unneeded.
Green Arrow provided the Team with a mission, and assigned Red Arrow, Kid Flash and Aqualad to track Sportsmaster. Artemis volunteered to go too, despite Green Arrow's concern.
On their way to New Orleans, Red Arrow made it clear to Aqualad that Artemis was still his top suspect as the mole, as she continued to lie about her past.

ORLEANS PARISH: DECEMBER 5, 21:27 CST

Red Arrow took the lead in the mission, scouting ahead and following Sportsmaster as he rented a boat and made it to a railroad. He ordered the others to stay at a discreet distance, but Artemis got in close and encountered Cheshire. Red Arrow helped her with the fight, and seeing them together made Cheshire decide to play them against each other. She flirted with Red Arrow as she had before, referring to their encounters as "dates" again. When she knocked him to the ground, she even kissed him passionately to further upset her sister.

Sportsmaster had been listening in on Cheshire's comm link, and made his getaway with a suitcase he was after. Red Arrow planted a tracer on the boat and pursued on his jet ski, but Sportsmaster took him down with explosives and removed the tracker.
Artemis claimed to have put a tracer on Cheshire, and Aqualad and Kid Flash followed that trail. Red Arrow did not trust her, and secretly planted a tracer on Artemis's quiver.

NEW ORLEANS: DECEMBER 5, 22:18 CST

Red Arrow traced the signal on Artemis to a warehouse in the docks of New Orleans. While he investigated the premises, Sportsmaster got ready to ambush him. Luckily for him, Artemis shot an explosive arrow at the door, giving away Sportsmaster's presence. He berated her for not alerting the rest of the Team, and took on Sportsmaster. After Kid Flash joined the fight, Sportsmaster, Cheshire and other villains at the scene turned to ice, allowing their escape.

MOUNT JUSTICE: DECEMBER 6, 03:21 EST

Red Arrow was not happy the mission was a failure, and knew who to blame: Artemis. He confronted her about the tracer she claimed to have put on Cheshire; it was found on a train wagon. Kid Flash did not take it well, and accused her of envying Red Arrow. As the others left, Red Arrow reminded Artemis he suspected her of being the mole, and this was not over.

BRUGES: DECEMBER 22, 20:08 CET

Still intent on exposing the mole, Red Arrow joined Robin and his three main suspects—Artemis, Superboy and Miss Martian—investigating a string of robberies in Europe. They went undercover as "The Daring Dangers" in the Haly International Traveling Circus, as robberies coincided with their tour dates.
Robin was right; there was a thief in the circus. He used athletic skills to break in a warehouse, and firebreathing skills to ward off the Team. Red Arrow noted the warehouse was full of ammunition, and made sure everyone evacuated before it collapsed.

As the circus left Bruges, Red Arrow's bossy and accusatory behavior made him clash with the others. Superboy made it clear he did not like Red Arrow, and Artemis urged him to keep an open mind.

In a showdown on top of the train, they discovered the thief was Parasite. He took off with his stolen equipment, and now that he had Kryptonian and Martian powers, made off for Geneva's Large Boson Collider ahead of the train.

GENEVA: DECEMBER 24, 00:37 CET

At the particle accelerator, Superboy charged into Parasite ahead of plans. After Miss Martian went in too, Red Arrow chose a high position to shoot a foam arrow at their opponent. It didn't work as planned; Parasite used his stolentelekinesis to take away Red Arrow's bow, lift him in the air, and slowly crush him.
Parasite lost his grip on Red Arrow when Artemis shot a gas arrow at him. After it exploded, Roy was free, but since he was in the air, he fell. Though he was out of danger, the fall also took him out of the fight.

When all was over and Parasite arrested, Red Arrow thanked Artemis for saving his life. Working with the Team, he realized Sportsmaster had sent him on a wild goose chase all those months ago: there was no mole in the Team.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: DECEMBER 30, 09:16 EST

On the stairs of the Hall of Justice, Red Arrow, along with fellow heroes Doctor Fate, Plastic Man, Atom, and Icon, was inducted into the Justice League after months of solo work, he was handed his membership card by Green Arrow. Even though he had previously defected from the League on Independence Day, he was just as excited to be a member of the League as he was six months ago. He was led into the Hall of Justice to meet the rest of the Team, only to find the room empty.

THE WATCHTOWER: DECEMBER 30, 23:46 EST

During the League's induction party, Red Arrow placed pieces of biologically engineered Starro fragments on each member of the Justice League, making them all slaves of the Light's mind control. As he forced Batman to grant security clearance to Vandal Savage, he was released from the Light's control, and realized that all along, he was the mole.[17]While Vandal was basking in his victory, Red Arrow slipped away and used the zeta-tube to travel to the Hall of Justice.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: DECEMBER 31, 00:16 EST

From the Hall, he headed to the subway under the National Mall. Aquaman, Flash and Green Arrow pursued him, and were his better. His former mentor knocked him off his feet with an explosive arrow and Flash punched him in the face. In an attempt to hit Aquaman, Red Arrow only broke his bow. He used the diversion of a passing train to slip away in a drainage pipe.

From there, he headed to one of his equipment caches, where he laid low. Over seven hours later, Aqualad found him there. Red Arrow did not trust anyone, and wanted to make sure his old friend was not working for the Light. Aqualad put him at ease by telling him something he had told Red Arrow, his love for Tula.
With Red Arrow, the Team reconvened. They used their contacts with Atlantis, Cadmus and Serling Roquette to come up with a cure for the Starro-tech. Red Arrow was vaccinated so further exposure would not affect him.

THE WATCHTOWER: DECEMBER 31, 23:16 EST

With the similarly immunized Black Canary and Red Tornado, Red Arrow headed to the Watchtower and pretended to be mind controlled. Klarion saw through it straight away, and ordered Hal Jordan to constrain them. They were given a new chip, but played possum again. When Klarion discovered they had been played again, he summoned Batman, Superman,Martian Manhunter, John Stewart, Hawkwoman and Wonder Woman to fight the three. Red Arrow managed to take down Martian Manhunter with an incendiary arrow, but was beaten by Batman and knocked unconscious.

2011

THE WATCHTOWER: JANUARY 1, POST-00:00 EST

With the Light defeated, Red Arrow had to come to grips with the fact that his entire life was a lie. Black Canary and Green Arrow tried to console him, but he wouldn't have it. He felt the only thing he could do now was find the real Roy Harper.

STAR CITY: JANUARY 1, 07:26 PST

At Ollie's advice, Roy stayed with his former mentor in Star City to collect his thoughts.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: FEBRUARY 1, 23:11 EST

Roy's feelings and thoughts continued to haunt him. He felt he had to do something for Speedy, and did not believe he was dead.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: MARCH 7, POST-00:00 EST

Roy and Jim Harper swept Cadmus, all 52 levels and the remains of Genomorph City, which they had done before several times. But even with the newest Wayne Tech ecogram unit, they could find no trace of Speedy.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: MARCH 8, 18:46 EST

Roy commented on the previous day's search in his diary. He was not surprised when the test results came back and Jim was revealed to be a clone as well.

METROPOLIS: NOVEMBER 1, 18:46 PST

Unhappy with the progress in the research, Roy contemplates more extreme measures to look for Speedy. In ten months, even Batman couldn't uncover anything and shadowing Lex Luthor was unfruitful. Red Arrow became more and more adamant to continue the search.

2012

SEOUL: OCTOBER 26, 01:25 KST

Now continuing the search for Speedy solo, Red Arrow infiltrated a LexCorp robotics plant in Korea. He almost got caught.

ATHENS: DECEMBER 25, 20:02 EET

Tracking Luthor's operations led him to Greece, and on the way, he repeatedly encountered Cheshire. Noting the pleasure she took in their meetings, he felt she could be his best shot at infiltrating the Light. He succeeded in his ploy, and eventually Jade got him into the League of Shadows.
2013

DHABAR: NOVEMBER 26, 23:19 UTC

Cheshire and Roy stayed in Qurac's capital briefly after chaperoning a shipment of LexCorp drilling equipment to Bialya.
2014

INFINITY ISLAND: MARCH 8, 00:00 ECT

At the Shadows' headquarters, Roy reflects on his recent experience with Cheshire in his diary. He's starting to see through the facade she put up, and sees her potential for good, though he was not sure he could trust her.

FORT-DE-FRANCE: MAY 26, 03:16 ECT

His cover blown, Red Arrow had to flee the island and retreat to Martinique. Cheshire helped him, though he was still not sure if she actually betrayed the Shadows or if she was playing him again.

GOTHAM CITY: SEPTEMBER 16, 21:45 EST

Still on the trail of Luthor, Roy shadowed him to a meeting with Riddler at the Museum of Antiquities. He was unable to learn what they were after, or how it was connected to Speedy.

GENEVA: NOVEMBER 30, 22:22 CET

After raiding LexCorp factories in Singapore, Santa Prisca, Germany and Switzerland with Jade, Roy lamented the lack of clear leads in his diary.

GENEVA: NOVEMBER 30, 22:30 CET

Roy learned of an alien attack on Metropolis, and Superboy's role in the battle. The contradictions between himself and the other clone didn't help Roy with his self esteem.
2015

WASHINGTON, D.C.: JANUARY 28, 20:00 CET

Roy and Jade eventually married, though it was not without fights. Jade accused him of obsessing over Speedy. Around January, Jade became pregnant, though she did not tell Roy. She eventually left him.

MOSCOW: FEBRUARY 15, 20:00 MSK

After learning the plans Luthor and Riddler were working on had nothing to do with Speedy, Roy felt all hope leaving him. He was all alone, and though he was out of leads and money, he still wanted to continue. Somehow.

February 2016

WASHINGTON, D.C.: FEBRUARY 13, 21:06 EST

Red Arrow foiled a robbery in progress. The grateful shopkeeper offered him a reward, but Red Arrow declined, claiming that his gratitude was reward enough. Unbeknownst to him, Red Arrow had surreptitiously kept a stack of money. This act was witnessed by Green Arrow, who had been looking for his former sidekick.
While returning to his hideout, Red Arrow was confronted by Green Arrow, Black Canary, Nightwing, Wally West and Jim Harper, the former Guardian. Green Arrow accused him of stealing money from the people he saved, but he countered that searching for Speedy was expensive. Black Canary was aghast at how Red Arrow allowed his previously muscular body and well-honed skills to atrophy, but he brushed off her concerns as well.

The assembled group then attempted to convince Red Arrow to abandon his fruitless search for Speedy. They had searched for years, but finally concluded that the Light didn't keep him alive. Red Arrow would have none of that—he was intent on continuing his search, and suggested that they try to rehabilitate Aqualad instead. He then left for home.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: FEBRUARY 14, POST-04:03 EST

Red Arrow arrived at his derelict hideout, and was accosted by his estranged wife, Cheshire. She wanted him to stop his all-consuming search for Speedy as well. He refused, saying that she lost her right to backseat drive his life when she left him to return to criminal activities.

Cheshire then laid down all her cards. She had given birth to a daughter, Lian, and Roy needed to be a part of her life. He was visibly shocked when she presented the sleeping Lian to him. To help him exorcise Speedy's ghost, Cheshire had called in all her chips. She had a lead—one last chance for Red Arrow to find the original Speedy.

TIBET: FEBRUARY 28, 23:14 BT

Cheshire's tip brought them all to a Tibetan monastery. After fighting themselves past the guards, Lian laughed; this attracted the attention of every guard in the monastery. Red Arrow stated his original feelings about not bringing her; he thought it would be better to have left Lian with Artemis.
But even all the guards were not enough to stop them. They defeated them, but Red Arrow voiced his concerns about the obvious delight Lian took in watching them beat up the guards. Red Arrow blasted open the door the guards were protecting and found a cryogenic pod. They opened it, and Red Arrow caught Speedy as he fell out of the pod.
Red Arrow took Speedy to the Royal Memorial Hospital in Star City and has been watching over him with his mentor Green Arrow.

March 2016

STAR CITY: MARCH 21, 14:22 PDT

Roy and Oliver sat at the real Roy's bedside at Royal Memorial Hospital to explain his capture, and the events of the eights years during which he was in captivity. The original Roy thanked his clone for finding him, but snapped at his former mentor for giving up the search for him. Red Arrow left shortly after Ollie, who had gone to the chapel to ponder his errors. As Ollie questioned his ability as a mentor, listing all three of his prior sidekicks as examples of his failure, Red Arrow disagreed with Ollie, and told him the real Roy would eventually realize that too. They returned to the hospital room, only to find the original Roy had escaped the hospital by jumping out a window.

Red Arrow and Green Arrow tracked the original Roy to a weapons cache. The computer at first would not recognize Red Arrow's retina scan, as the real Roy was already inside. After Green Arrow overrode it, they entered, but too late. Roy used the Zeta-Tubes to escape, and left a grenade behind, destroying the tubes. Red Arrow checked the computer to learn where Speedy had gone, and the two of them concluded that he had gone to Metropolis to hunt down Lex Luthor.

METROPOLIS: MARCH 21, POST-19:11 EDT

Red and Green Arrow arrived at the burning LexCorp building to find that Speedy had not killed Luthor, but instead had bargained for a robotic arm. He rejected the name Speedy, and took the moniker of Arsenal.

June 2016

METROPOLIS: JUNE 20, 08:16 EDT

When magnetic field disruptors planted by the Reach threatened the Earth, Red Arrow joined 39 other heroes of Earth in a briefing in Metropolis. The heroes would use a computer virus provided by Lex Luthor to safely disable the devices. The heroes were paired off with another into twenty squads: one member would run interference against Beetle-tech Dronesguarding the disruptors, allowing the other to get close enough to plant the virus. Red Arrow was assigned to Nu Squad, and worked alongside Arsenal. Within thirty minutes, all squads had succeeded in their mission.

Since that day 

Roy didn't jump straight back into helping people with a bow in his hand and a quiver on his back. Even with Jade's coaxing and his friends' support, he needed time to get back to his peak, and then there was Lian to think about. Being new to the parent thing and not having an examples to look to, he spent whatever time that wasn't devoted to spending with Lian or training his body on reading parenting books to prepare himself for the years to come. His relationship with Jade was still slightly estranged, but Roy was willing to make it work to some degree for their daughter's sake. This mainly meant not busting her for the criminal activities that he assumed she was still doing. 


It didn't take that many months for him to start venturing out at night and leaving petty criminals stuck to walls with arrows, but he never actually thought of himself as ready to return to the big leagues with the Team or the League. Of course, his friends had a different idea of where he was at as they contacted him when a new crisis arose with the Light returning to cause more problems for the planet, and for a second Roy almost said 'no'. Then he thought of Lian himself that he wouldn't left another soul be hurt by that group of villains, and so Red Arrow was completely back in the game.

RP SAMPLE:

“Well, this has been a productive evening,” muttered Roy as he looked down from his little perch on the edge of the roof. It had been three hours since he had started his patrol, and so far he had only stopped some kids from tagging a local business’s windows which had only required the use of one well place arrow in the wall above their heads to make them run. Either a holiday had been declared for petty crime or Ollie had been pretty busy in his spare time. Regardless, this was no way for him to get a workout in to fine tune his skills, but he figured that he should at least be happy that things were somewhat improving locally. That was when the sound of gunshots attracted his attention. “Or perhaps criminals are just getting a little smarter,” said Roy right as he took off running toward the sounds.

It didn’t take him long to locate where the shootout was taking place, and he saw that it was four gunmen versus three squad cars. “Now, time for some target practice.” Pulling an arrow from his quiver, Roy lined up his first shot with the gunmen behind the car, but when he released the arrow it impaled itself in the hood of the car. Now most people would have saw that as a miss, which is exactly what the gunmen had thought right before the arrow released a small cloud of gas. A second later, the man was on the ground. “Well, that worked like a charm,” said the archer as the bullets started flying his way. Normally, he would have taken all four out in a matter of moments, but his archery skills weren’t entirely what he was greatly concerned about. He needed a real workout, and three gunmen seemed like a perfect way to see if he was still cut above the rest.

Firing a second arrow into the store, he quickly shot a zip line down and was on his way down when the blinding light fill the room, and then Roy crashed through the window. “Normally, I ask, but I think we all know that this is going to be the hard way.” As if to confirm his assumption, one of the men charged at like a football player, which he countered by sidestepping and tripping his assailant who went sliding across the floor. “Amateur.”

The next one was a little smarter as he tried a roundhouse kick, which Roy caught and used the momentum from to swing the guy into a wall. The final guy didn’t bother trying to exchange blows with Roy, but instead bolted out the door and started running down the street. Roy quickly pursued and pulled his bow off his shoulder. “Now where do you think you are going?” Pulling back on the string, Roy lined it up with the man’s thigh and released the arrow, which flew about ten feet before the tip exploded and two balls attached by a string wrapped around the man’s legs and brought him to the ground.

“I was wrong about this showing me whether or not I’m really ready. Guess there is only one real way to find out,” he said as he pulled out a small radio that he had from the old days. It was time to make a call.

ANYTHING ELSE? Not that I can think of at the moment.
