As I went up to where I knew the entrance to The Cave was, I thought about our problem with all the adults in the world disappearing. The kind of magic that it would take to do that... This had to be some really powerful villains. If we had to fight them, without the league, we might just meet our match.
"Holy shit!" I heard someone shout behind me, and I whirled around in surprise. A girl with pin-straight, pale blue hair was holding a little brown-haired boy in her arms. They both had blood on them, and the boy had a shirt wrapped around his leg like a makeshift bandage. He appeared to be unconscious, and the girl was scrapped up pretty badly. She was as pale as a ghost, and looked a bit shocked. Okay, a lot shocked.
I was about to say something, when the already pale girl turned practically white. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head, and she fainted.
I sprinted over to her and picked her up. She was still holding the unconscious boy, but I was able to carry them both with little trouble, thanks to my training. I carried them into The Cave, towards the living room.
"Red Tornado, call Zatanna and tell her to come to the living room. I have a girl and a young boy that need medical attention, quickly." I called out, knowing that the team's super powered robot 'den mother' would hear me and deliver the message. I went to the living room and laid the girl on the couch with her head propped up. It took me a while to pry the boy from her arms. By the time I had, Zatanna came rushing in, Kid Flash speeding in right after her.
"What did you do, run them over with the Bat-mobile?" Kid asked.
"No, the girl came over to me while she was holding the boy. Sort of," I replied.
"Oh really? So how does one 'sort of ' hold a child?" Kid Mouth, everybody.
"She was holding the kid! She was behind me when I opened the cave door, and she shouted something, then fainted," I explained.
"Someone snuck up on the amazing Boy Wonder? Just think of what Batman would say!" Kid said, messing around as usual.
"Just shut up and help me or leave!" I shouted at him.
"Touchy." Even as Kid said it, he got down to examine the wound I had revealed when I untied the shirt around the boy's leg.
He looked at Zatanna, who was just standing there.
"Do you know any healing spells?" Kid asked her.
"Yeah, they were the first spells Dad taught me. Robin, do you know anything about all the adults disappearing yet?" Zatanna sounded as worried as she looked. Her Dad had always been there, and she had just witnessed him disappear right in front of her eyes.
"No, but we will figure it out Zatanna. But right now we need to focus on healing these two." I hoped that would be enough for now.
She nodded her head, then she kneeled down beside the boy. She held her hand over his wound, closed her eyes, and spoke in the language known only to sorcerers. The wound started to close. When she was done, the wound had closed completely, leaving only a scar as evidence that it had existed at all. Zatanna was clearly tired out by the magic, so it's a good thing the cut wasn't any deeper.
Kid looked at the scar and whistled.
"I wish I had you when I was eight," He said.
"James." I heard the moan and looked over at the girl. She seemed to be coming to. We all went over there, and I kneeled down next to her leaning over to look her in the face.
"Shhh, quite now. It's alright. Everything's ok. He's fine now." I whispered to her gently. I assumed that James was the little boy. Now all I needed to know was the girl's name. Her skin didn't look as pale anymore. She was still pale, just not as much. Her face was slightly dirty, but you could still see that she was beautiful. She had icy blue hair. It was long and straight, and she had it up in a ponytail, with some strands falling out. I was staring into her eyes. They were a brilliant blue, like the sky. They were so breath-taking, I couldn't say anything for a second.
"Who are you?" I asked her as soon as I was able to speak again.
"My friends call me Snowflake."
