Chapter 2: Trouble in the Cave
I gape at the wide open space around me. Hadn't we been in a phone booth just five seconds ago? Now it looks like we're in some sort of cave. Maybe we had fallen through a secret door or something. I turn to look at Dick. He's staring at me with an expression of shock and fury. "You can't be in here!" He yells. "Where is here?" I counter. But just then, an alarm sounds.
Red lights start flashing as a voice, seemingly out of nowhere, started saying, "Alert. Intruder in the cave. Intruder in the cave." Dick cursed and swiped his hand across the air in front of him. A slightly transparent blue screen appeared, and he started typing with inhuman speed. The alarms shut down, but an odd group had already come running.
Wally and Artemis are there, as well as a boy with black hair, blue eyes and a muscular build, a dark skinned boy with light eyes, silvery hair, and who looked almost as strong as the first boy, a dark skinned girl with short brown hair and a girl with bright blue eyes and black hair. The dark skinned boy looks as though he's about say something, but Wally beats him to it.
"Sarah! What are you doing here? D-Rob! Did you bring her here? What were you thinking? She's just an innocent civilian! Artemis, back me up here!" "Don't look at me! It's Robin's fault anyhow." She said, hands in the air. "How is this my fault! If she follows me into the Gotham zeta tube a second before I zeta here, this is just automatically my fault?" "Ok, what the hell is going on?! What's a zeta tube? Who are you people? And where are we?" I finally scream. All 7 turn and look at me like I'm gum on the floor. "Ok. Fine." Dick says. Wally turns to him, but he holds up a hand as if to say, 'I know. Shut up.' We go into a room with an old green couch and a big TV. The black-haired girl sits down between Dick and I, a little protectively. "Ok, so it all started around a year and a half ago..."
Meanwhile, in Wayne Manor,
"Look, Bruce, it's not that I don't like her, or think that she's gonna figure us out, I just don't completely trust her. You know how I've been doing some Intergang cases? Well, she looks a bit too much like one of their top operatives, Whisper, for my liking."
"Look, Jason, you have great instincts and all, but she's just a harmless civilian. I don't believe there's any reason for mistrust."
"Hey, have either of you seen Sarah?"
"What do you mean Tim?"
"Well we were watching a movie, than Dick got a call from M'gann and left, next thing I know, movie's over and they're both gone."
"Bluejay, Red Robin?"
"Yes Batman?"
"You're on the case. Go find out anything you can about Sarah Logan."
Now, back to the Cave, where things continue to happen,
"...And we just recently defeated Sportsmaster, plus found out that Red Arrow is dating his daughter and Artemis's sister, Jade Nguyen, better known as Cheshire."
"Wow." I say. "Yeah. I barely believe it myself." The dark skinned girl, Rocket, says. "So, this whole time, while I was thinking that you were an idiotic brainiac," "Hey!" Wally protested, "you were actually the Kid Flash, the fastest boy alive who half of my friends have pictures of in their lockers?" I ask, still doubtful. He nods with a grin. "So, your friends are into me huh?" He asks teasingly. I roll my eyes. Artemis socks him in the chest. "Ow!" He cries.
"Hey, isn't there supposed to be a Miss Martian? You guys told me about her." The team exchanges glances. "I don't think now's a good time." Dick says carefully. I get up, ignoring Dick's warning. "Sarah where are you going?" Artemis calls after me. "To find M'gann M'orzz." I reply calmly, and start walking down the hallway.
Meanwhile, in a secret location,
"Will she be any trouble?"
"None at all boss."
"Good. I don't want to have to deal with another flip flopping hero."
"I don't want her involved at all. If anything, she'll join us."
"If you value her life, she'd better."
"If I have any say in the matter, she won't have a clue she ever had a chance."
"And if I tell you that you don't have a say in the matter?"
"You'll be even uglier than you already are."
"That's why I let you work for me Whisper."
Back to the Cave!
"M'gann!" Knock knock knock. "Megan!" Knock knock knock. "Ugh! How many doors are in this place?!" I groan. "Considering you're in the Infirmary wing, a lot." A voice comes from behind me. "Who's there?" I yell, spinning around. No one's there. "Just try and catch me." The voice laughs. I spin around again. Nobody. "Seriously though, how'd you get in here?" I lash out a hand and grab someone's arm. "I so let you find me that time." The guy laughs.
I gasp. "You're Bluejay right?" "That's what they call me." "Woah! You're so cool! I mean, all my friends like Robin and Kid Flash and Aqualad, and a few like Superboy and Red Arrow, but personally, I've always thought that you were really cool. Oh my god, I sound like an idiot don't I?" "Yeah, you kinda do." I sneer. Then, doing some calculations in my head, I gasp. "Hold on a sec. If Dick is Robin-" "Shh! Not so loud!" Bluejay whispers. "Right. If Dick is Robin," I continue in a whisper, "Then Bruce Wayne must be Batman. And since you work with Batman and Robin, and you're too tall to be Tim, then, you're..." "Jason." He smiles at me. "So the fangirl has a brain." He sneers at me.
"Oh, shut up." I shove him away and go to find a new hallway. "Listen sweetheart, I don't like you." He says, and starts following me through the Cave. "And I like you?" I counter. "Yeah. You kind of do. If I remember correctly, 'personally, I've always thought you were really cute'." He smirks at me. "First off, I said that you were cool, not cute. You can't exactly think someone's cute if they're always hiding behind a mask. Second, that was before I knew that you were Jason Todd." I roll my eyes at him. "So, what I'm hearing is, you would still like me, if I wasn't me." He asks, the smirk fading a bit. "Pretty much." I turn around, trying to find M'gann's room.
I wait for a sarcastic remark. It doesn't. I turn around and find empty hallway. I roll my eyes and continue down the hall. I hear crying coming from behind one door. I knock. "Robin?" A female voice asks, and the door slides open. "Who are you?" She asked. "Sarah Logan." I answer. Noting her green skin, I figure that she's M'gann. "Logan?" She gasps. I nod. "Come in," She says reluctantly, "If you're here, than you must be trustworthy."
The first thing I notice is a young boy, probably around Tim's age, lying on the bed, sobbing. I sit down next to him and stroke his silky red hair. "Hey. Hey, what's wrong?" I ask gently. He turns his head up to look at me. I gasp. Again. "Garfield?" I ask, unsure if it's really him. He nods. I help him sit up before wrapping him tightly in a hug. "Garfield!" I cry. "Garfield, is it really you? Oh my god, Dad told me about you and, and, I can't believe it, you're really here." I whisper, fumbling through my sentences.
"Excuse me, but, how do you know Garfield?" M'gann asks. "Well, he-" I'm cut off when Robin and the rest of the team burst through the door. "Sarah!" Robin cries, relieved, "We were worried you got into trouble. There's a lot of dangerous stuff around here." He smiles wearily at me, then notices the boy in my arms. He kneels down in front of us so that he's eye level with Garfield. "Hey Gar. Feeling a bit better?" He asks, smile gone. "No." Garfield states plainly, then continues to cry.
"Um, sorry to interrupt, but Sarah, how do you know Garfield?" M'gann asks me again. "You know Garfield?" Wally asks me. "Well, we've never actually met, but I know who he is." I say. Garfield sits up from where he was slumped against my side. "How do you know who I am?" He chokes out, tears still streaming down his. "Well, uh, Gar, you are, uh." "Just spit it out already!" Wally cries. I take a deep breath and stand up, M'gann immediately going to comfort Garfield. "Garfield is my brother."
