Don't Play With Fire

Wally woke up and looked at his clock. 5 am, on a Saturday morning, and it's just what he needed. He walked down the hall and heard music as he passed his sisters room. He took a peek inside, and saw her asleep, with her ipod loaded onto the dock. He smiled and walked in lightly poking her forehead. She stirred and her emerald green eyes fluttered open

"Want to go for a run?" He said smiling. She nodded her head and he left letting her change and get ready. She emerged a few minutes later, wearing her rainbow stockings, her Flash Nikes, and her gray running shorts and shirt. She smiled, and with her ipod in one hand went to the kitchen and filled up the water bottles and put a few granola bars in her pocket just in case. She walked back out and for the first time since the team was formed, she and wally had time alone.

Samantha was panting, gasping for air. She felt like she couldn't breathe. What was worse was that Wally was to far ahead to see or notice, that she fell behind. She took a couple drinks of water, and violently choked them back out. She stared ahead and saw Wally running back, but her vision blacked, and the noise her head made when it hit the pavement was sickening.


Samantha awoke with a jolt. The cool December air sent chills down her bare back, and she got out of the bed. The window was slightly open, the breeze blowing the curtains away from the window. She put on a shirt and some shorts and walked downstairs. She squinted at the light of the TV and saw Wally sitting there, just silently watching a documentary on Physics. On a normal morning, she's probably sit down with him, but today she just silently put on her shoes, and opened the door, walking into the cool December air.

How one simply thing such as running made her feel free, she didn't know. All she was thinking about was the small amounts of snow and ice that trickled the streets and lawns, and how her hair blew behind her, untied and loose. She slowed as she reached the sign that said "Now Leaving Central City: Home of the Flash". She looked at the the extending highway leading to Gotham. Her head started swimming with images. She couldn't shake the dream, it felt so real. She pulled her hair into a ponytail at the back of her neck and started to walk to Gotham, her switchblade strapped to the inside of her sock.

Gotham, was know for the crime in the city, and being the home of the Dynamic Duo. But she wasn't here to be a tourist. She was going to end whatever control X had over her mind. Today she would do it, no matter the cost. Her phone buzzed her jacket's pocket. She pulled it out and saw a text from Krissy
"Don't forget the football game tonight. I'd hate to have to replace you. ~3"

Samantha scoffed, closed her phone and quickly trotted up to a boy, around 13 or 14. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Gotham Academy, could you point the way?" She felt a ball form in the pit of her stomach, something was off about this boy. He had peircing blue eyes, ebony hair, strikingly pale skin, and he was alone, at a gas station.

"I was just going there now." He replied. She nodded and walked with him, noticing for the first time, the few bottles of water and snacks in his bag. "I'm meeting up with this sophomore for a class project." He said as they stopped, waiting patiently for the light to change. "why are you going there?"

Samantha looked at him the curiosity etched on his face. "I'm looking for someone. He lives her in Gotham, goes to your school so I'm told."

"I'm Dick by the way. And you are..."

"Sam. nice to meet you, although i wish it were under better circumstances." She said shaking his hand. The light flicked to the walk signal and they continued walking.

"Whats his name? I might know him."


Dick waited patiently for the answer. He quickly regretted it as soon as he saw the fear and sadness in her eyes.

"I only know him by X..avier. It's the name he told me when we met a few years back." She said. dick noticed the quick save, like she was hiding something.

"I don't know anyone by that name." He said. "Sorry for not being of much help." He looked up. a good few minutes passed before they reached Gotham Academy. "We'll there she is. Good luck with finding your friend." Dick said walking towards Barbara Gordon.

"Who was that?" Barbara said with a disgusted look on her face.

"Don't know. just helped her out a bit."Dick said as they walked to Barbara's house.


It was 5 hours since his sister had left, and Wally was pacing around the cave worried. He only stopped when he felt Megan's hand on his shoulder

"Wally we have another mission debriefing." She said as they both walked to the mission room. They walked in and batman hit a button. A video feed came in and what Wally saw next terrified him, made him want the worst thing to happen to whoever did this to her. Samantha was in a chair, bound and gagged. A Man in a blacksuit stood behind her, a scar on his face the shape of an X.

He pulled out a knife, and pulled it across her cheek, and licked the blood on it. "You have 3 hours, or else, Kaboom." The last thing the group heard was a sick twisted laugh.

Batman looked at Wally. "They're at a warehouse in Gotham. Find her." He was the first out of the room.


It had taken them an hour to locate the warehouse. Wally ran inside finding it empty.

"My heat vision is picking up small traces in the back." Superboy offered as Wally ran into the back room. That when he noticed something, tripwire. He looked around and saw it was rigged to catch fire to 3 barrels that reeked of gasoline. He stepped over it, but Superboy didn't. Wally pushed him out and went to work, quickly untying the gag in her mouth. He had started on working the knot in her hands when the door slammed it self shut. He fumbled as he finished the knot on her hands and zipped around and started working the knot tying her feet together.

Outside Robin and M'gann tried to open the door while Kaldur and Superboy were fighting X. X Had gotten behind Kaldur and managed to throw him rendering him unconscious when he hit the ground. Superboy started throwing punches, stalling for time. Robin had heard a click and threw open the door. Wally had hastily finished untying her and he ran out, Samantha over his shoulder, ignoring the quickly growing flame that almost caught him. X saw wally and he threw down a smoke bomb, disappearing into the night. Wally and the rest of the group got out and ran to the bio ship, flying away just as the building caught the fire.


Hahaha, i hope it was a little more flowy. anyways I hope the next chapter can clear things up about who X is, how Sammie started working with him, Why Wally and Sammie don't know each other little secrets. Review are welcome, but no flame. :) Thanks for Reading!
