Gotham Fires
By ArcherGirl224
Wally's POV
I dragged my feet one after another loathing having to go to school. Normally, I would jet to school with my asterous speed. "Wow I've been hanging around Rob too much!" I thought to myself. Back on the subject of speed, I didn't run because my stomach hurt and if I tried eating anything to get the energy to run, well I just might upchuck.
"Hello, I'm Cat Grant, and next up we bring you live footage of the fire at Gotham Academy," I stopped in my tracks. Turning to the display window of an electronics shop I saw a TV with the news. Glancing at the date my heart stopped: this was today's news. "Artemis…" My voice trailed. I didn't realize I spoke out loud and when I did, my face grew red with heat. Why my first thought was of her I had no clue… I never rushed to a zeta-tube so fast.
5 minutes later…
I rqn over to the school in a hurry. I saw firemen and a blur of prep uniforms. "Dick! Oh my God are you okay?" I said aiding him. He was leaning on the steps leading to the front door. His uniform was dusted with ash.
"KF! What are… you doing… here?" He said in between coughs. "I never leave a friend alone, you know that. Is Bruce getting here?" I asked, avoiding the Artemis topic. He nodded and then coughed again. Out of nowhere a puff of white glittery smoke appeared.
"Rob- I mean Dick!" A female voice cried out. Then my friend was tackled by, yep you guessed it: Zatanna. The "Mistress of Magic" engulfed him in a hug. Only a few weeks ago he revealed his secret identity to her. "Zee, I'm fine!" He reassured her. At that exact moment we heard the principal said something to the fire chief that made my body cringe. I felt tears welling in my eyes.
"The only student unaccounted for was Artemis Crock,"
