Hey everybody! This is just a story I thought of on the fly. Hope you enjoy and please review when you're done!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters below.
Kid Flash groaned loudly as the pounding sensation in his head became more intense. He could hear a voice in the distance calling his name, but couldn't gather up the strength to open his eyes. A hard slap to his cheek finally knocked the speedster out of his sleep. Wally opened his eyes and saw Robin looking down at him with a worried expression on his face.
"KF, you alright?" the Boy Wonder asked, helping his friend off of the ground.
"Ugh, my head is killing me." he replied, rubbing his throbbing temples.
Wally's eyes widened when he saw where they were. The two heroes were standing in the middle of what used to be a city. Many buildings were nothing but large pieces of cement and the ones that were standing were riddled with large holes and graffiti. Cars and buses were turned over and a red liquid was splattered on the road. The sky was a dull gray and Wally could hear the cries of children in the distance.
"Where are we?"
Robin immediately opened his wrist computer and tracked their location. His eyes immediately widened to the size of quarters behind his mask.
"W-we're in Metropolis."
The speedster's jaw hit the floor as he processed the information.
"This is Metropolis?! How happened to this place?"
"More importantly, how did we get here? Our mission was in Star City." Robin said, closing his computer.
Kid Flash closed his eyes and racked his brain for a memory that could help him figure out what was going on, but he came up with nothing. Suddenly, the speedster realized something.
"Wait a minute. Where's the rest of the team?"
Before Wally could get his answer and bullet came out of nowhere and lodged in the wall next to Robin's head. The two heroes turned around to see an army of men marching towards them with loaded weapons in their hands. Robin and Kid Flash got into battle stance and watched as the army stopped a few feet away from them.
"Identify yourselves." an older man ordered, from the front of the men.
"Who wants to know?" Robin asked.
"General Matthew Gray. You're trespassing on federal property. Identify yourselves." he ordered, again.
"You don't know? We're Robin and Kid Flash. You know, partners of Batman and the Flash." Wally explained.
Several gasps filled and air and the man glared even deeper.
"Surrender now, or face the consequences!"
"Uh, did you not hear what I just said We're good guys, like you."
The man growled loudly before turning to the men behind him.
"Men, take them down!"
With that, the men cocked their weapons and fired at the two heroes. Robin and Wally moved out of the way at the last moment and hid behind a crumbling building.
"What's their problem?" KF asked.
"Don't know, but it looks like we reasoning with them is out of the question." Robin said, pulling out six birdarangs.
He stepped out from behind the building and threw the weapons at the soldiers. They all exploded upon impact, sending several men flying through the air. Wally ran towards the army and started grabbing the weapons out of their hands and throwing them off to the side. Just as he was about to finish taking the weapons from them, Wally felt electricity shoot up his spin and he fell to the ground unconscious.
"KF!"
The Boy Wonder pulled out his nun chucks and started knocking out men left and right until he got to Wally's body. He was about to check his best friend's pulse when the sound of a gun going off filled the air. A sharp pain ripped through Robin's shoulder and a pained cry was torn from his throat. He looked at his shoulder and saw the crimson blood that was starting to stain his uniform. His breath hitched in his throat as he put some slight pressure on the wound. It felt his shoulder was on fire. The acrobat was too busy looking at his wound that he didn't even see the shadow that came from behind him until he received a devastating blow to the head that sent him to the ground.
Robin looked up at the General with half lidded eyes who was grinning down at him.
"Night, night boy."
With that, the man hit the Boy Wonder in temple and the young hero quickly slipped in unconsciousness.
Please review! =)
