I'm back and today is Luna's birthday! Happy Birthday! Here's the second chapter. You guys remember what happened last chapter, right? If you don't, go back. The button is right there.
I don't own Young Justice, Luna's Birthday, or Kid Flash's ass... Dammit I got myself sad... Be right back.
I'm back! On with the story!
Meanwhile, the rest of the team was unaware of what had taken place in Central City. The Zeta Beam acted up.
"Recognised. Batman 02." Sure enough, the Batman appeared and walked in. This could only mean one thing. There was a mission.
Batman walked through the room and pulled up a screen on it was what looked like a man in his twenties. Robin looked at it curiosity.
"What's the mission?" Batman looked at him, before enlarging the screen.
"This, team, is a man known as the Dollmaker." A little snicker was heard. Batman focused his attention on Robin, who immediately quieted down.
"Sorry, but the Dollmaker? What does he do, collect dolls?"
"Yes and no. He has a...certain collection of dolls. Dolls made out of human beings. This man is a murderer." The room was silent as eyes were wide. Batman pulled up another screen of an apartment. "This is where he lives," He pulled up another that looked like a large house in the forest. "but this is where most of his collection is. I need to you get in and see how you can take him down." Aqualad nodded.
"We will try our best." Batman nodded and walked back towards the Zeta Beam.
"Recognised. Batman. 02." And with that, Batsy was gone. Robin looked around and sighed.
"And I let KF have the day off... We're just going to have to do this without him."
The house was in sight. They were all in stealth mode hiding in the surrounding forest. Miss Martian's mental link was established.
'Can anyone make sure if there is a barrier or not?'
'None that I can see...I just checked. No barrier.'
'If that is the case, then we move in.' From different angles, the team came upon the house. Robin was the one at the front door.
'It's probably locked, but-' The door opened without picking any locks. 'It's open...doesn't this seem a bit too easy?'
'Of course it's too easy! There's probably a trap or something inside!' Robin mind-sighed.
'Still, I'll go ahead to make sure.' He entered through the front door. The floor was a polished wood, and the walls were a robin egg blue. 'So far, no traps. It's okay to come in, just stay behind me.' The team was behind him. Soon, they were a room with 5 doors. Aqualad spoke (thought?) up.
'Everyone take a door. If you are in need of help, use the mind link.' They nodded, and everyone went in a door.
The first thing Robin noticed about the wide hallway he was in was dolls. So many life sized dolls. They looked dead, but frozen in place. They all wore lacy, well designed doll dresses in different colors. They also had signs in front of each one. Robin stopped for a bit to read one.
Annabel Densen
It was probably the name of this poor young woman before she was killed and turned into a doll. Robin continued down the hall of dolls before there was a muffled scream that both his mind and his ears heard. Not even bothering to explore more, he opened back the door at the end of the hall. The rest of the team was there too except for one.
'Where's Artemis?' He facepalmed. 'It was her scream!' Robin opened the door that Artemis went through. Inside was a large room lined with dolls like robin had seen. Artemis was in the center, holding her mouth to her hand, staring at one thing, and tears streaming down her cheek. The team ran to her.
"Artemis? Artemis? What's the matt...e...r..." Robin looked to where she was looking, and his eyes widened. The rest of the team, curious, looked in the direction as well. What they saw truly shocked them.
It was Wally West.
If you didn't look close enough, you would think he was alive, but his eyes were dead, and his skin cold. He was cleaned up well and in a fitting tux. Robin sighed.
"Artemis, you don't know it's him... I'm sure a lot of people have red hair and green eyes..." She shakily pointed a finger to the sign.
Wallace West
Robin frowned and gave her a small hug.
"Stay whelmed, Artemis... KF will always be remembered. It's a shame he met his end like this... as a murderer's doll..."
In the end, they couldn't find anything useful. Robin, Aqualad, Miss Martian, and Superboy made it outside. Soon, Artemis joined them caring something over her shoulder.
It was Wally West. Robin spoke up.
"Artemis! You brought him?! Now the Dollmaker will know someone's been there!" She looked to the side.
"I couldn't let Baywatch stay with that psycho. The least we can do is give him a proper burial." Robin's expression softened as he nodded.
"You're right. Once we get back, we'll give him a funeral and everything..."
Soon enough, Wally West, in his Kid Flash costume, was lowered into the ground outside the cave. The team was there. Some of the Justice League was there. His parents were there. And it was to be written on his tombstone,
Wallace Rudolph West
Kid Flash
1995-2011
A wonderful son, friend, and hero
For all the days they could after, they would come to his grave and weep. Little did they know that Wally West was not the last one...
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! THE SECOND CHAPTER OF THE DOLLMAKER! Reviews are appreciated, but flames go to Number Eleven is my OC. I'm serious. I might make a separate story for exactly how the dollmaker makes his dolls... Gore incoming.
