I still don't own Young Justice, or their characters.
P.S. if you are coming back (And I hope that you are) please reread the first chapter as I have updated it on 8/11/15.
Thanks again to Smile-I'mTheEndOfAllThatYouSee for the spelling thing. I am horrible at spelling things. Sorry for any errors I miss. I am truly sorry for the errors in anything I write. Btw in this the team finds out about Artemis's family after she catches Cheshire on her first mission. Anyway, on to the story . . .
This time I woke up on a cot. I still had the inhibitor collar on, my head hurt more, my vision was slightly blurry, and my leg felt numb. I looked around, as my vision started to clear, to see that I was in a cell that had three other cots in it. It was a corner cell. KF was sill unconscious. Kaldur was checking on the speedster. Super Boy was talking to someone in the cell next to us . . . M'gann.
"Hey, it's ok. We'll figure our way out of this." Super Boy tried to calm the Martian.
"Yeah, we will." I said sitting up slowly.
"Robin!" Miss M said in a mix of shock and delight, while wiping away tears.
"Good to see you awake." Kaldur said.
"Where's Artemis?" I asked and Miss M moved so I could see.
Miss M started to cry again. They had Artemis hooked up to a heart monitor, I.V in her arm, and she was wearing an oxygen mask. There's bandages around her left side, where she was stabbed, and her head. She looked so pale and she was barely breathing. If they didn't have the heart monitor, I'd think she's dead.
Why would they do all that, when they were the ones to hurt her?
"What've you told Miss M, about what we've figured out about our captures?" I asked.
"Everything that we know." Said Super Boy. "You've been out for a couple hours longer than us."
"How's KF." I said knowing that Arty wasn't ok.
"The knockout gas was a bad mix with his head trauma." Kaldur started. "But, he will live. How are you?"
"Don't really know." I said. "I think they gave me some pain killers."
Miss M was still freaking out we need to calm her down before Prick, Drop, or somebody else came in and made her.
"It'll be ok, Miss M." I said giving a smile.
"How do you know? Artemis is barely stable, Kid Flash is nearly in a coma, and you got shot!" Miss M said oddly quiet.
"Because we have been in abducting situations before." Kaldur said for me. "And we will find a way out of this, together."
"I wouldn't get your hopes up, kiddies." Said Drop coming in to the cell hallway with, what looked like food. She slid the trays into our cells. "I know you'll think it's poisoned, but why would we save you, then poison you?"
"You're the one who did the surgery on Artemis." M'gann said.
"Yes, I am . . . now I suggest you eat . . . I wouldn't want to have to put IVs in you too." She said and started to walk away.
We all gave her death stares. Why would they do this to us? It makes no sense.
"Wow, harsh crowd. You know we have nothing against you kids." Drop said with just a hint of kindness.
"Then what do you have against our mentors and Cheshire?" asked Aqualad.
"That's none of your business, but maybe whatever's left of your Justice League, after we're done with them, will tell you." Drop paused and walked to the door. "They aren't the heroes you think they are."
"What would she mean by that?" asked Miss M.
"She's just trying to mess with us." I said. "It's . . . interesting. She doesn't look that much older than Red Arrow. She must be pretty smart to do that."
"Indeed." Aqualad said. "Miss Martian did you wake up before they brought you here?"
"Yeah, the reason why they brought us to the first place was to . . ." Miss M seemed to struggle for the words. "Help Artemis and Robin. She said she was the one to address all the serious injuries. I woke up while we were being moved. Drop and Nixon were trying to stop the two of you from bleeding out."
"Drop took me and M'gann out without that much of a fight." Said Super Boy. "She knew all the pressure points on us to make us . . . shut down."
"She said to me that she's sorry that Prick got out of hand, and then gave me a sedative." Miss M said and her stomach growled.
On the trays there are four small plain turkey sandwiches, five plastic cups of water, and a Styrofoam bowl of boiling chicken broth with a plastic spoon. Drop, Nixon, and possible others who treated us, must think KF will wake up soon.
"It's been at least twelve hours since we were captured." Said Super Boy.
"Drop does have a point to the whole poisoning thing." I said.
We ended up eating the food with caution. KF started to stir and Aqualad went to check on him.
"What happened?" KF asked drowsily.
"The knockout gas didn't agree well with your head trauma." I said to him.
"Right . . . where's Artemis and Miss M?" KF asked starting to regain coherence.
"We're over here." Miss M answered.
"How's Artemis?" He asked still with his eyes half closed.
"Alive." Said Super Boy.
"Drink this." Kaldur said to KF, handing him the water. "Are you having trouble seeing?"
"A little . . . it gets blurry for a minute then . . . dizzy." KF said handing the cup back and nearly passing out again.
"Yeah, that'll happen with a head injury like that. I told Prick not to use the knockout gas on you, but he wouldn't listen." Drop said coming back in with Nixon and medical supplies. "Now, you gonna let us help your teammates or not? It's your choice."
"Why would we do that? You're the ones that captured and hurt us in the first place." Super Boy said angrily.
"That statement is flawed. I have not harmed any of you and my partner here only did what was necessary to subdue you." Drop stated.
The three they captured did have less injuries than the rest of us.
"Now, will you let us help or not?" Nixon asked. "And don't think you can help them on your own."
We all shared a look and decided that we needed their help if we were going to heal. Whether we liked it or not.
"Do what you must to help them." Aqualad said.
Nixon walked into our cell while Drop stood guard with the inhibitor collar's remote in hand. Nixon started to examine KF, with Kaldur right beside him.
"Were is Prick? Haven't seen him in a while." I asked.
"Busy leaving clues for your Justice League, that we're sure Cheshire will find as well. You won't have to worry about him for a while." Drop said. "What's the damage Nixon?"
"Immense concussion, but nothing more." Nixon said leaving our cell after giving KF a shot of something. Drop handed him the remote. "Try to keep his head as still as possible, no sudden moving."
"That's good." Muttered Drop as she entered our cell and walked over to me. "Is your leg stiff?"
"Yeah, a little. Why did you switch?" I asked as she started to remove the bandages.
"Nixon is better at recognizing brain issues than I am and I know more about treating everything else." Drop said and I winced as she got the last layer of bandages off. "Sorry, I know bullet wounds suck. Does that make it less stiff?"
"Yes, but why are you doing this." I asked.
"Didn't Prick tell you? We want revenge on the Justice League and Cheshire." Drop said and finished putting a thinner bandage on my leg.
"That's not what he means." Super Boy said as Drop went to the girls' cell.
"We only want the Justice League and Cheshire to suffer . . . you kids don't deserve this." Nixon said darkly.
"Prick tends to . . . get out of hand on missions." Drop said putting something into Artemis's IV. "But that's why he's the boss. Well, that and no one else wants to . . . Miss Martian, right? Would you mind helping me hold her while I change her bandages?"
Miss M did as she was told, but looked like she was going to cry again.
"There all done." Drop said "Make sure the speedster drinks that broth, otherwise I'll have to put an IV in him."
We nodded and she walked out the door.
"We are sorry, but we haven't figured out any other way to get the League's attention . . . you weren't supposed to get hurt." Nixon said and walked out.
"She was so cold . . ." Miss M said shakily and Super Boy took her hand.
"Miss M could you read their emotions?" I asked.
"I couldn't read Nixon's but . . ." Miss M said trying to steady herself. "Drop had pity emanating from her. Not the average pity, though, it was like she went through what we are."
"She did imply that she was shot before." KF said still kind of drowsy.
"You should eat." Kaldur said handing him the bowl of broth that was now cool enough to eat.
"Do we have any ideas on getting out of here?" asked Super Boy.
"We have to believe that the League will come for us." I said. "There isn't much else we can do."
"We have to be strong." Said M'gann calming down.
"And we have to keep each other safe." Said Kaldur.
And chapter two done! Please tell me what you think and how you'd like to see the story continue. Why are Drop and Nixon helping the heroes? What is Prick up to? Will Artemis wake up? Will Kid Flash have brain problems after this? What has Drop been through to empathize with the team? Will the League get there in time to save the team? Or will Cheshire get there first? Those and other questions you may have may be answered in the next chapter. Or maybe not.
Sorry for any errors you find. Please review and follow. Thanks to my followers. Hope you like this chapter. : )
