Rated T for some violence. Roy Harper Always swore he would protect Thea even if it cost him his life. As it turns out it just might, who would think taking a few steps could be so life changing. Will Roy be able to save Thea?, and will his noble sacrifice cost him his life?

Roy seems to be always getting banged up but this is one injury he is going to need help to recover from and he is reluctant to accept help from Felicity let alone another guy. Oliver doesn't give him much choice in the matter though and what was thought to be just a graze turns out to be far worse.
