This idea just sort of poped into my head as I was doing my chores today. I thought it would make a good story so this is the first chapter of The Path of Treachery!
The evil monkey living in Chris' closet told me that I don't own Young Justice.
The Path of Treachery
| Unknown Location
No one knew how it had come to all this. As the blood red moon casted it's light upon the small team of heroes. None of them thought it would ever happen, but still it had. Clouds covered the sky, as small drops of rain started to pore. A small teenage boy, about thirteen was the one that the team was chasing. His dark black suit that cut off at his shoulders showing almost red like in the moon light, as his sward clattered in its holder at his side. His eyes narrowed beneath his black domino mask. The armor covering his mouth and nose gave him an almost ninja like appearance. His combat boots thudded against the rooftops as he ran. He knew that as soon as the red headed speedster of the team showed up, he would be toast. But still he ran on.
His raven hair whipped back and forth in the wind. His beautiful blue eyes under the domino mask were dull and lifeless. He knew what he was doing was wrong, and he didn't want to do what he was doing, but he had no choice. He had to do what his master said. He would do anything for his great master. He could hear the footsteps behind him, they were getting closer. The boy knew his limits, he couldn't go on much longer, he was only human after all. But still he pushed on, trying – and failing – to try and get away from these heroes. He couldn't be caught; he would die before he would face them.
Tears perked his eyes as he thought of the team behind him. He wouldn't, no couldn't turn back now. He was already too far in the water to be saved. He was drowning and no one could save him. He would die this way, a criminal, an outlaw, a traitor. He let one of the tears fall down his face. He didn't want to betray them, he never did. But yet here he was, running away from the people he once thought of as a family. They would never look at him the same way now. He wouldn't blame them, he was a monster, but still he didn't have the heart to face them now.
He was almost to the next roof when a flash of black and red was seen; he choked back a sob so that the krypton wouldn't hear him. He couldn't show weakness, his master wouldn't allow it. He skidded to a stop when Kid Flash stopped right in front of him. The rest of the team came up next. He was cornered; he backed away as far as possible. He stopped when his combat boots met the edge of the rooftop.
"Listen, we just want to talk." The Speedster – Kid Flash A.K.A Wally West – said his eyes were pained as he talked to the raven haired.
The boy looked at them with pained eyes. He grabbed a hold of his sword. He couldn't face them, not like this, he couldn't speak to them, ever. His master would be disappointed if he were to be captured so easily.
"We just want you to come with us-"
"Why so you can put me in jail? Is that what you want?" The boy hissed his teeth were gritted as he spat out each word.
"We would never want to do that, my friend." The dark skinned leader – Aqualad, A.K.A Kaldur – said.
"Don't you dare say that again! We both know very well that I am not your friend! I'm a traitor and do not deserve such a title!"
"We just have to take you in for questioning, Batman's orders." Kid Flash said.
The boy's eyes clenched shut at the Dark Knights name. He could never face that man again. That man had given him everything and he just goes off and destroys his trust. "I'm never going back!" He hissed out, his eyes still clenched shut.
"You don't really have a choice." The Krypton – Superboy, A.K.A Conner Kent – said, reaching towards the boy.
"NO!" the boy screeched pulling his arm away from the Krypton. He accidently took a step backwards, sending him over the edge of the building. He screamed as he fell, looking up at his X teammates horrified faces.
"ROBIN!" he heard one of them call out as he fell. As he hit the ground and could feel his bones brake and his insides being torn apart, he could feel everything, every little agonizing thing. He took one last look at his teammates before darkness took him.
How did it come to this?
It's only the first chapter and I already have a cliff hanger! :D Anyway, next chapter will explain what is going on and stuff like that!
