"How long does it take to find a mission for us?"
"Wally have a little more patience I'm sure Batman is searching for one right now"
The group of teen heroes were scattered across the room. Robin and Zatanna sat on a love seat, occasionally giving each other mischievous glances. Superboy sat across the room, staring at the static without paying attention to the conversation between the redheads in the kitchen. "But Megs it's been hours and you know me, I can't sit still for long"
"We all know that "Wall-man"", Robin called out, "Go train with the others or find Artemis, I'm sure she can entertain you", the raven haired boy waggled his eyebrows which gained him a slap on the shoulder from the magician. As embarrassment took over Kid Flash he gave his best friend the scariest batglare he could manage and raced towards the rest of his team to get away from the waggling eyebrows.
stupid Robin, stupid waggily eyebrows
As the mission room came closer into view the robotic voice of the cave could be heard *Artemis fail*
Kaldur must've kicked her ass again, she's not going to be happy
As predicted Artemis lay face down on the floor with a grouchy look on her face after being knocked down by Kaldur. Rocket stood at the side, appreciating the Atlantean's good looks as he helped his opponent off the floor. Artemis and Wally had been dating since they defeated Vandal Savage's mind controlled Justice League. He'd even taken her to meet his parents, and lucky for him, they loved her. Now instead of yelling at each other all the time they would flirt, it would gross out the team but they worked better together like that.
"Is everything alright Wally?", Kaldur's voice snapped Wally out of his thoughts and his boredom suddenly came back to him. "I guess, but Bats is seriously taking forever. Is it bad that I want some villain to attack so I can punch him?", judging from the looks he was recieving from his team mates -yes it was bad. His new girlfriend sauntered over to him "You know what they say babe "be careful what you wish for" the blonde pecked her boyfriend on the cheek, unaware of the events unfolding somewhere else.
Run. Don't stop. Run
Her breath was heavy as she ran from the men after her
Why do I have to be so nosey. Should've known I couldn't run as fast
She keeps on running, past the rows of houses, through the muddy paths, heading towards a house that isn't home. BANG A bullet hit the ground next to her feet
God what am I doing? I'm no hero, if I was I could dissappear like Robin or run faster like Kid Flash
BANG Closer this time. Too close. Then an illuminated hole opened in the ground in front of her. Without time to stop she fell foward and it swallowed her whole before vanishing. Leaving her pursuers puzzled at her sudden disappearance.
"Do we tell the boss?"
"Are you kidding, just knowing we tried to shoot her he's going to flip"
"What do we do then?"
"He'll figure out she's gone by himself and when he finds her again, God knows what's going to happen to her"
With that both men gave each other smirks and continued to patrol the area with the thought of the girl's screams echoing through their mind.
It was like the sun was in her eyes, taking over her mind. She knew she was falling but that was it. Falling and falling. Left with nothing but her thoughts, her guilt, her sorrow. Maybe this was her punishment, maybe she deserved to be lost in what felt like infinty. THUD. The ground appeared underneath her. Then all senses came back. She could feel the cold stone floor beneath her, the smell of brownies and the deafening sound of alarms and a voice. And now the light was gone she did what she had to.
Run
