Hero by Skillet

We're losing. Badly. My bow is broken, I'm out of arrows, and I am bleeding heavily from a wound on my head. The blood was getting in my eyes and I'm getting weak. B

Robin wasn't disappearing like usual and he was taking more hits than he was giving.

Aqualad had lost the water in his water-bearers a long time ago and was now trying hand-to-hand combat, which he was good at but he too, was starting to get tired.

Megan stopped flying and was on her feet, trying hand-to-hand but was badly losing even with the extra arms she could grow. Luckily she stayed near Superboy who was able to fight off a couple extra people for a while but he had been exposed to a little but of green kyrponite and was beginning to weaken despite his super strength.

Wally had run out of food to keep his high metabolism going and had been hit very hard several times. Now he was in a heap next to me, awake but only just, he seemed to keep looking around as if he had a concussion and was confused. There were more enemies than we could handle even if Superboy and Aqualad were at full strength.

One of the baddies had a real smart idea and started a fire. Megan and Aqualad soon crawled next to Wally and helped him devise a plan to win this battle or get a message to the Justice League. The communication units were down so we couldn't call for backup.

Superboy, Robin and I formed a half-circle with Wally, Megan, and Aqualad between us and the concrete wall of the wear house we were in. Another one of the baddies decided to stab Superboy in the lower arm with a kyrponite laced dagger and he went next to Megan, already looking drowsy.

Just Robin and I left and soon we would be overrun with baddies. Off in the distance, I heard music start to play. I knew that tune and as the band Skillet started to sing, so did I. I felt my spirits rising and began to take more baddies down even though I was about ready to drop.

I'm just a step away, I'm just a breath away, losing my faith today (falling off the edge today).

I am just a man, not superhuman (I'm not superhuman). Someone save me from the hate.

It's just another war, just another family torn (falling from our faith today).

Just a step from the edge, just another day in the world we live in.

I began to sign louder as the song went on and soon the team was tapping their feet to the beat of the drums and Aqualad stood up after finding his second wind. There were less baddies and it seemed less certain that we would lose.

I need a hero to save me now, I need a hero (save me now).

I need a hero to save my life, a hero will save me (just in time).

Aqualad had put out the fire and Megan was able to stand now that her body had cooled. She stayed near Conner but fought off the baddies that dared to try to hurt her boyfriend. Everyone who was fighting was fighting stronger and those who weren't looked as though the music was helping them gather strength to get up and fight again. The chances of us winning was about fifty-fifty.

I've gotta fight today, to life another day.

Speaking my mind today (my voice will be heard today).

I've gotta make a stand. But I am just a man (I'm not superhuman). My voice will be heard today.

It's just another war, just another family torn (my voice will be heard today).

It's just another kill, the countdown begins to destroy ourselves.

Conner was up and fighting better than ever. Him and Megan covered the west and northwest side of the half-circle we had formed. I was in the middle with Robin next to me and Aqualad next to him. Wally was trying to stand another he wasn't quite there yet. We were all singing the course and were throwing punches or kicks to the beat of the music, which helped because it was fast. Our chances of winning were seventy-five to twenty-five. We could win.

I need a hero to save me now, I need a hero (save me now).

I need a hero to save my life, a hero will save me (just in time).

Wally was up and next to me, his arms moving so fast that they were blurs to me although they were slower that usual. We could win. We would win.

I need a hero to save my life, I need a hero just in time.

Save me just in time, save me just in time.

Whose gonna fight for the what's right, whose gonna help us tonight.

We're in the fight of our lives (and we're not ready to die).

Whose gonna fight for the weak, whose gonna make 'em believe.

I've got a hero (I've got a hero) living in me.

I'm gonna fight for what's right, today, I'm speaking my mind.

And if it kills me tonight (I will be ready to die).

A hero's not afraid to speak his mind, a hero's gonna save me just in time.

Everyone was fighting their hardest and they gave one hundred and ten percent. The smart baddies were running but there were still some who just wouldn't give up and I had to give them credit for that. I was a hero and a goddess. We could do this. We were winning. The chances were now ninety to ten.

I need a hero to save me now, I need a hero (save me now).

I need a hero to save my life, a hero will save me (just in time).

I need a hero, whose gonna fight for what's right, whose gonna help us tonight.

I need a hero, whose gonna fight for the weak, whose gonna make them believe.

I need a hero, I need a hero. A hero's gonna save me just in time.

We all stood in a line, breathing heavily, but smiling as the song came to an end. We were the only people in the wear house except for all the unconscious baddies lying on the floor. Megan was flying and kissing Superboy, Robin was doing incredible flips and acrobat-like moves, Aqualad was calling the JLA, and Wally was... gone?

"Hey, Arty." Wally said from behind me, sliding his arms around my waist, which was strange because we hated each other or the most part. It didn't matter thought, we were tried and it was... nice to be held like that.

"That was a really good song. Nice timing, too. But there's still something that needs to be done." With that, Wally spun me around and kissed me. I was about to kiss him back after a moment of thinking 'WTF' when he broke off the kiss and ran as fast as he could. A line of arrows followed him and Green Arrow ran after the speedster, screaming threats at the top of his lungs.

Thanks for reading, this is my first story and I think it went nicely. Lots of fluff at the end. Please review and please be nice. By I heart diabetics 3
