Chapter 1: Fairy Rescue
Flora woke up; chained to the wall. She could barely lift her head; she felt so weak. They hadn't fed her in days. They had given her water recently. Yesterday, if she remembered correctly. She could not remember how long she had been missing anymore. Had her friends even noticed? Flora quickly shook her head of that thought. No they were her friends. They wouldn't just abandon her. Unless they couldn't find her, the thought came unbidden and unwanted to the fairy's mind.
Someone, help me. Please. Flora thought softly, as she whispered the same phrase.
With Young Justice
The team had just finished taking out the villains, and were heading back to the ship. Suddenly, Miss Martian stopped in her tracks.
"Wait guys. I hear something. But it's faint. Almost like a whisper." Miss Martian stated.
"I heard something too. Faint. Like Miss M. said. But it's gone now." Superboy agreed.
He stiffened abruptly. "I hear screaming."
Back with Flora
"Maybe we should just rip her wings to pieces."
Flora gasped when they said this.
"Look. The little fairy is awake."
"Did you sleep well?" Cruel laughter sounded all around her. "Of course you didn't."
Flora tried to resist but she couldn't. She didn't even think she could scream anymore. But, she did.
Young Justice
"Wait! We don't even know what –or who– this is!" Aqualad called after M'gann and Conner, who had already taken off. "It could be a trap!" he yelled at them.
"It –can't. Someone's in real pain." Miss Martian cried out holding her head.
"Sometimes you just have to act, Aqualad." advised Robin.
"Yeah," Kid Flash added. "If you overthink too much, you might get there too late.
Aqualad shook his head, and followed the rest of his team, who had sped ahead of him.
Flora
One captor pinched, and folded, the top corner of Flora's right wing towards her. Then: tore it off. Flora collapsed. Or would have, had she not been chained to the wall.
Team
"A cave, that's different." Robin observed.
Everyone looked at him.
"What? Usually it's warehouses."
Kid Flash shrugged. "He's got a point there."
Inside the Cave
The Team wandered through the dark corridors of the cave.
"It's coming from this way!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!"
"We should be careful and move cautiously." … (Silence) "They're not here anymore, are they?" Aqualad asked himself.
The Team (minus Aqualad), ran into what appears to be a cavern. Miss Martian and Superboy first noticed the figure. Against one wall was what looked to be a fairy. Her wings were torn and dirty. She looked like she couldn't even stand, let alone walk. The only thing keeping her up were the chains binding her to the wall. Aqualad caught up to the group as Robin started picking the locks.
Kid Flash pointed out the cave had another entrance. Aqualad motioned for Miss Martian to follow him towards the entrance. From there, they looked outside.
"Miss Martian, please call the bio-ship here."
Miss Martian called the bio-ship. After the fairy was unshackled, Aqualad carried her to the bio-ship.
