AN: Hey guys! Thanks for all the reviews and stuffz. I've been rewatching Lightspeed so that I can get KF's characterization right xD Hopefully he isn't too OOC. Or anyone else for that matter. Oh and Jinx is gonna show up soon! ^^
Kid Flash groggily opened his eyes, his head thumping like a drum. He desperately tried to rub his temples to stop the insufferable pain, but his arms were forcefully chained behind his back. He groaned. Not only was he was dazed, confused and in pain, but he was hungry!
Everything felt dizzy, the vertigo was getting worse and worse as time went on. He couldn't even tell where he was. Just some weird lines in front of him. Was he dead? Was this the afterlife?
His stomach growled.
No this couldn't be the afterlife. After all, how does a dead person get hungry? Can dead people get hungry? Probably not. But then again, he never died before so it could be possible.
Kid Flash's ear's perked up as he heard muffled speech, surrounding him. His head thumped even more.
"Argh...keep it down please, mom...'ust five more minutes..." Kid Flash slurred.
"Is he high?" A voice asked with a loud southern drawl.
"Not really...I mean technically...we did put some knock out drugs in the pie but…" Another voice muttered.
"Great. Now we're gonna hear this snotmouth babble like an idiot the whole time. I did not sign up for this!" A third voice rang.
Kid Flash's eyes shot open in fear. He recognized these voices.
"Glad to see you're awake, Sleeping Beauty." See-More scoffed.
Kid Flash didn't say anything in response. He was too drugged to anyways.
"I seriously think you put too much Nitrous Oxide in that pie, See-More."
"Oh jeez I think you're right." See-More agreed. "He looks...out of it."
"Where's Jinx?" Kid Flash murmured, his bright blue eyes widening in fear.
"She's ah….at the store!" Gizmo quickly added.
"Really?"
"Ugh...yes!" Gizmo slapped his forehead. "I hope we can get rid of him after this charade is over." He whispered to Kyd Wykkyd.
Kyd simply nodded grimly.
Kid Flash tilted his head, his pupils dilating slightly. He felt his vision return to normal, and the thumping in his head decreased. "Ugh...what happened?"
"I think the drug wore off." See-More sighed, nudging Kyd slightly.
Kid Flash shook his head. "Oh it's just you guys."
"What's that suppose to mean?!" Gizmo snapped.
"Nothing, just glad you guys don't actually pose a threat."
"Oh no you didn't!" See-More screeched. "No one insults the HIVE Five!"
"Woah you guys have five members now. Good for you." Kid Flash smirked.
"Listen you lil' twerp." A Billy growled.
"What are y'all gonna do? Sign me up for a rodeo?" Kid Flash mocked.
"Wow. Racist."
"How can an accent be a race?"
"You..argh...Never mind!" Billy pouted.
"Listen, I'd love to chat...but I gotta go." Kid Flash proceeded to try to vibrate out of his shackles. But instead of vibrating out, his stomach growled once again.
"Ah...can I have some food?"
"No." All five of the HIVE answered in unison.
"Alright, hand me that syringe, Mammoth...and don't drop it." Gizmo gritted his teeth.
"Okay!" Mammoth responded eagerly, grabbing the syringe in his monstrous hands.
"This won't hurt a bit, Flash Junior." Gizmo sadistically held up the syringe, moving towards the cage.
"It's Kid Flash-ow!"
"Got his blood." Gizmo grinned at his success. He held up the liquid like a madman. "Now we add it to the concoction."
Wally gulped. He didn't know what they were planning, but he knew it couldn't be good. He squirmed and thrashed around, panicking only slightly.
Kyd gave him a sympathetic look, his empty crimson eyes shimmering with worry for the hero. Normally he wouldn't care, but he always felt guilty when pulling off crimes such as kidnapping. He quickly looked away, not wanting to be suspicious.
"Alright team, I'm almost done with the cloning device. Just need a few adjustments." Gizmo stated. "See-More, Billy, Mammoth...come with me. Wykkyd, keep watch on snotbrain."
The three (and a few clones) followed Gizmo into the back room, closing the door behind them with a sharp thud.
Kyd Wykkyd stood in the middle of the room, not taking his eyes off the HIVE's prisoner. His eyes darted around, getting more impatient by the minute. He tapped his foot, hoping that the rest of the team would hurry up. Kyd never did like to wait. Especially with someone staring at him.
He had to think of something to do to pass the time. Solitaire? No, he wasn't a crazed loner. (AN: Just for the record, I have nothing against solitaire, it's just kind of boring to me xD) Elliot gasped, remembering a project that he had been working on for the past few weeks.
In less then a second, he teleported a neatly placed periwinkle blue scarf with a half heart shaped decorated in the middle. He gently held the needles between his pointer and thumb, and began working on the wool scarf.
Meanwhile, Kid Flash was trying not to laugh. A super villain had a love for knitting? He couldn't wait to tell Jinx about this. Unless of course she already knew, considering the former villainess used to be friends with the mute boy.
Wykkyd stopped knitting to raise an eyebrow, before continuing back to his work.
"Didn't think you'd be interested in something so...girly." Kid Flash mocked.
Kyd scowled, before putting down his scarf. He lifted his hand up to sign.
"Knitting is an art. It holds no gender."
"Uh….."
"Oh. You do not understand me. Figures."
"Why are you flailing your arms around?"
Kyd shook his head. He took a deep breath and spoke softly. "It's called sign language, imbecile."
"Wow, you can talk!"
He was about to retort, however all that left his lips was a soft squeak. Elliot shook his head once more, and resumed to his work. Though he was surprised he actually talked without the coaching of See-More.
"Sooo...do you know what your compadres are planning?" Kid Flash piped.
Kyd Wykkyd nodded.
"Care to tell me?"
Wykkyd shook his head.
"It was worth a shot." The speedster shrugged.
Kyd merely nodded in agreement.
"You don't talk much."
The selective mute nodded once again.
The door slammed open, making both boys jump in response. Elliot turned around to see who had opened the door. The temporary leader of the HIVE stepped out, with a malicious grin stretched across his face.
"Kid Flash, meet your very own clone…" Gizmo smirked.
KF gasped.
AN: Cliffhanger :O Sorry about that guys, got a bit of writer's block. ~ The clone who will have a name, will be in the next chapter~ (and hopefully Jinx will too lol) Alsooooo another short chapter. No one's perfect xD
