A/N: Why hello there readers and welcome to the time skip! I hope this is enjoyable because most chapters will be relatively short because y'know, they're one shots.

Of course the time skip will include my Oc's. I can't just leave them hanging. They'd kill me.

Young Justice is not mine.

CADMUS
February 22, 2011
23:35 EDT

We crept silently through the empty halls of Cadmus. It was too… quiet. Too quiet for my liking. It was eerie. "This way," Red Arrow whispered as he led us down a hall, with his bow drawn and ready to fire.

"We've been here for two hours, Roy," I hissed as I crept along a wall behind him, "There's nothing here but a few guards."

Instead of replying, he shushed me. I scoffed at him. As I was about to scold him, he grabbed my wrist and dragged me into the nearest room, which just so happen to be a closet. Fantastic.

I wiggled around in the tight space; trying to ignore the fact Red Arrow and I were pressed flush against each other. "What're yo-" Red clamped his hand over my mouth. I narrowed my eyes at the archer. He met my angry glare and quickly removed the clamp he had on my mouth.

'Guards.' He mouthed to me before I could say anything. Sure enough, I heard muffled voices pass us by.

"Robin to Red Arrow," Our comms crackled to life, "Kid Flash and I found nothing." There was a pause as I felt Red stiffen, "I'm sorry, Roy. He's not here. Nothing's here."

"We need to search harder," Red whispered into the comm., "He has to be here."

"But-" Robin tried.

"No. Buts." Red hissed and that was the end of that.

After a few minutes of standing in the cramped closet, Red peaked out. Once the coast was clear, Red and I continued on our way.

We searched lab after lab. The results were always the same. Empty. The desks had all been cleared off, almost like they expected us to come and search. It was strange. They still had guards crawling around. So why did the place look like it was deserted?

Finally, we came to the last lab on the second floor. Still, there was nothing to see.

"Roy," I sighed, walking towards the clone, "You need to face the facts," I placed my hand on his shoulder as I looked up into his masked eyes, "Nothing's here."

That set him off. He gruffly grabbed my shoulders and shook me, "Stop saying that, Felicity!" He let go of my shoulders before dragging his hand through his hair, "There's-there's guards here! That has to mean something. Why else would they keep guards in an empty building?"

"To keep snooping superheroes at bay?" Red stared at me blankly and I sighed, "We still haven't checked the chamber we found Superboy in?" I offered.

"He's got to be there!" Red whisper-exclaimed, after all, there were still guards patrolling around. Red grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the room and down multiple flights of stairs. According to Red, if we take the elevator, the guards will "catch us." Please. We can handle a few guards.

Upon entering the chamber we found Superboy in, my mind flash backed to the first time we discovered Superboy. Good times. However, it seemed like it was an eternity ago we freed our Super clone when in fact, it had only been a little more than half a year.

The chamber was, of course, empty. Like the rest of Cadmus.

I started slightly as Red cried out in anger, "No, no, no! He has to be here! Something has to be here!"

"Roy," I cautiously approached the archer. I reached out to place my arm on his shoulder, but he jerked away from me.

"No. Felicity, don't." Was the last thing he said before he stormed out of the chamber. I sighed before I followed him out. This wasn't going so well.

Where we were supposed to look now? Cadmus was cleared out. Empty. There was nothing here, at least nothing Roy was searching for.

"Nothing either?" Kid Flash asked as we regrouped with him and Robin.

I shook my head, "Nothing." Kid looked down at the ground.

"We should get going," Robin spoke up, "Y'know, before the League realizes we're here."

"You three can go," Red said to us as he began walking off, "I'm going to continue to search."

"Search where?" I called out as I grabbed his arm, "We've searched this place top to bottom. So has the League! What more do you think you'll find?"

"Him," Roy jerked his arm out of my grasp, "The real Roy Harper. He has to be here!"

"Open your eyes, Roy," Kid Flash said as he stepped towards his friend, "Nothing is here. This place is clean. Why can't you see that?"

"Because, unlike you three, I haven't lost hope." Roy snapped.

"Dude," Robin walked forward, "We haven't lost hope either, but it's obvious Speedy's not here. Nothing is. We need to move on, find a new lead. Cadmus is a dead end."

Roy growled at us before he stormed off, "You three are wrong. Cadmus isn't a dead end."

I bit my lip as I watched his retreating form. Roy was grasping at thin air. We'd only been searching a few weeks, but already it was obvious that the search would be harder than we anticipated.

Running a hand through my hair, I sighed. I was afraid for Roy. Sure, I believed the real Roy Harper was out there still, but not to the point that it consumed me, like it has for our Roy. Finding the real Roy Harper was the only thing on his mind nowadays.

"Come on, let's get out of here." Robin murmured, breaking me out of my thoughts.

I nodded my head as Kid Flash took my hand in his as Robin led us out of Cadmus.

Once we were outside, Robin started his motorcycle as Kid Flash swept me up. With one last look at Cadmus, we sped away, leaving the building, and Roy, behind.

A/N: This is a trial kind of thing. I'm not entirely sure I want to keep up with this simply because updating this would take longer. (and writer's block. Can't forget the glorious writer's block.)

I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on this so far! The next chapter will most likely bring in Jason because it's obvious I have to do something with Jason in the time skip. Anyways, leave a review! :D

...I meant to add in Aqualad, cause y'know, him and Red Arrow are BFF's, but somehow he slipped my mind. I AM SO SORRY KALDUR. FORGIVE ME FEARLESS LEADER. Just... imagine he was in Atlantis, because you know, the ocean was calling him.
