I'm back with chapter 2. Just to clarify, Clara was never in any of the Batman comics/tv shows or anything (I think). I completely made her up. Anyways, read, review, and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything by DC. I do not own Artemis, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Night Wing, Superboy or Mt. Justice, though I wish I did.
…Wally West in full Kid Flash uniform. "WALLY!" Artemis screams, dropping to her knees and hugging him with all her might. "Crush… ribs…" Wally choked out. "IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou," Artemis said, ignoring Wally's cries. Suddenly, they hear Clara gasp behind them. They all turn to see Clara fall from mid-air and land on the ground with a thud. "Clara!" Night Wing yells, running towards her. He kneels down beside her and starts performing CPR. "28… 29… 30," he says, pushing on her chest. "I-I don't hear a heartbeat," Superboy says sadly. "No," Night Wing whispers. Suddenly, Clara sits bolt upright and lets out an ear-piercing scream that could've curdled the blood of every man, woman and child within a 100-mile radius. "You're alive!" Night Wing says, hugging her. "Whoa. What a rush," Clara says, holding her head. "Sorry, I've never blacked out like that before." "Why did you scream?" Night Wing queried. "I could feel Wally's pain. The searing-hot pain of running into another dimension," Clara explained. "Ouch. That's got to hurt," Night Wing said, shuddering. "Yeah," she said quietly, a dark look spreading across her face as she remembered how bad it had really felt. Night Wing helped her up. Kid Flash shoots a look at Aqualad and Night Wing, the creators of the team. "So guys, I think we have some things to discuss," Night Wing proclaimed. "Agreed," says Aqualad, and Kid Flash, Night Wing and Aqualad filed out of the room.
Kid Flash, Aqualad and Night Wing emerge into a beautiful evergreen forest. Each tree is at its blooming peak. This also happens to be where the statues of the fallen heroes are held. Aqualad walks over the one featuring Kid Flash and turns it off. "We won't be needing this anymore," he says. There is a moment of silence before Night Wing declares, "I am definitely rejoining the team. The only reason I quit was KF dying. Or, more accurately, being transported into a different dimension." "I am very happy that you have returned," Aqualad says happily, embracing him. They both turn to look at Wally. "I-I don't know," he stammers. "The 'non-super' thing I had going with Artemis was… good." "Speaking of Artemis, she knows my secret identity," Night Wing says nervously. "Don't worry. I'll tell her not to speak of it to anyone," Kid Flash assured him. "Thanks Wally. It means a lot," Night Wing continued. "Anyways, Wally," Aqualad said, "Whatever your decision will come to, I am behind you 100%." "Likewise," Night Wing agreed, and they all silently trudged back into Mt. Justice.
Night Wing walked towards the control centre, whereas Wally and Aqualad sped off towards the kitchen. They knew that Night Wing needed some time alone with Clara, who was also in the control centre. She was reading about the Justice League off of the many holographic panels that were pulled up in front of her. It was obvious that she was concentrating very hard. "Hey," Night Wing said weakly. "So, you're a superhero now, huh? You left me for this life? Wow, must be so much fun!" she said sarcastically. "I'm sorry!" he cried. He couldn't believe that they were fighting already! "Look, I know you're mad at me right now, but- " "Why?" she yelled, cutting him off. "Why did you leave me alone, at the circus? Did you really care that little about me?" "NO! I cared about you, it's just that, well, I was… dealing with the grief from my family's death," he whispered the last word. A whole new look spread across her face. It was a look of pain. "Oh, Dick," she said softly. "I'm so sorry. But I could've- " Night wing cuts her off with a kiss.
Sorry guys. But, I have to keep the cliff hangers going. Anyways, I know that I have like a million mistakes with past tense and stuff, but I hope you still like the story. Anyone who can figure out why we have Captcha codes gets to have their name mentioned in the chapter after they review me about it.
