2 days later.
Riley woke up to the sight of Wally standing by the glass wall that separated them.
"Hey Wally, what's wrong?" Wally looked so sad and stared at her with those beautiful green eyes.
"Can you tell me? You know your communicator watch you were wearing when you were at Cadmus? Something broke it and I fixed it. Cheeked your vitals of the time you were at Cadmus..."
Riley was getting really scared at Wally right now. He seemed to have been crying earlier because his eyes were all red and puffy. She wanted to say something to him but she just couldn't find the courage to.
"Your heart rate was recorded at over 300 BPM."
"Th-That's very fast." What else was she supposed to say to him?
"No Riley...That's Inhuman."
Tears were now welling up in her eyes. She found it hard to look at Wally. She remembered what the doctor said..."Just like you are inhuman you are mutant."
"I-I thought the reading's might have been a mistake, that I put the thing together wrong...I've been struggling to, amm... There's something wrong with the data in my head!"
"What are you saying?"
"I was thinking how the heart monitor seemed to be shattered from the inside out but it was still on your wrist when we found you, now that doesn't make sense! And how we found you, basically unharmed in the lab, with crazy and metal people doing experiments on and all around you!"
There were tears streaming down Riley's face now. She couldn't hold back her emotion's anymore. That's when it started to happen again. Everything just started to shake. Only the items in the room seemed to be effected and Wally didn't seem to notice.
"I thought I was loosing my mind! That there was something wrong! So it took a while to dawn on me... Or maybe I was just afraid to think it! You survived what Cadmus did to you, because you caused it!"
"No, no, no, no, no Wally!"
"Conner wasn't the only one who Cadmus gave something too! And I'm pretty sure the DNA results are running right now to-"
"NO NO NO NO NO!"
"IT'S GONNA CONFIRM THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DATA IN MY HEAD RILEY! THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU!"
"NOOOO!" The light's were now flickering on and off and then-
CRASH!
The lights blew up. Just like that. Wally looked around startled and ran. He actually ran away from Riley.
1 Hour later.
Riley was once again sitting on her bed, thinking about the event that happened over an hour ago. Like she thought before, she needed to talk to Dinah.
"Dinah!"
Dinah had just walked in to the room Wally was once in. Riley wasn't scared that Wally had told the league what had happened because she knew that he wasn't like that.
"Hey sweetie!"
"Amm... I need to talk to you!"
"About what?"
"Well you see... Its about 2 days ago and them and hour ago..."
"Ok...What happened?"
"Well that's the thing...I don't know what happened."
"What do you mean? Can you not remember!?"
"No! I can remember, its just... I don't really understand, that's all."
"Well what don't you understand?"
"Well... You see-"
"Wait Riles, on the bar of the bed! Are you bleeding!?"
The Flash came running at full speed through the door.
"Ok, we should have your DNA results back any minute now and when we know that nothings wrong we'll get you out of there!"
Dinah and Riley shared a glance before Dinah looked at Barry.
"Somethings wrong?" The Flash questioned.
Riley hesitantly removed her hands from behind her back and lifted a cloth from her right hand showing blood and glass in a large cut.
"What the on earth happened?!" Shouted Flash.
"Riley?" Dinah sounded so small and scared as she asked.
"Wa-Wal-Wally, amm-"
"Wally messed up again!" Wally came running into the room with all the speed he had.
"Amm, she's cleaning up the mess. Sorry it was my fault, I knocked over the lamp while taking a sample of her blood. I had one of those ridiculous hazmat suits on and I guess my co-ordination still needs a bit of work. But, I was anxious to double cheek her DNA results and it is an exact match to what it was before!"
Wally handed Flash the computer who took a glimpse and smiled. Everyone took a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to tell Batman!" Dinah no longer sounded as scared as Riley. "He could use some good news!"
Riley looked at Wally with wide eyes. He did that for her? He cared that much? Wally tried to look as casual as possible but you could see that he was just as startled as Agatha was about all of this.
"Hey Riles, is your bunk made?"
"Ah, no, no its a mess."
"Well, Uncle Barry maybe you could get her some clean sheets. She could probably do with some rest. I would do it but last time I went into her room there was lots of lady things and amm, shes a slob, so I'll help bandage her hand, it was my fault anyway."
Barry nodded and smiled. He walked out of the room still looking at the computer. Once he was out of hearing range Riley questioned:
"Wally, what did you just do!"
"I switched your blood results with your old ones."
"Are the new samples different?"
"Massively. But until everyone here calms down I think we should just keep this between you and me." Wally opened the glass door and Riley got her first blast of cool air. Wally knelt down beside her and started to clean and bandage her hand.
That was it. Riley couldn't hold it back any longer. She knelt don beside Wally and despite Wally's questioning look she moved closer to him and kissed him. The kiss went on for about 30 seconds before they had to pull away for air. Agatha was so happy that he kissed back or she would have been in deep trouble. She started hugging him and crying into his shoulder. He quickly hugged her back and rubbed soothing circles trying to comfort her.
"This is all my fault! I could of stopped this! I let this happen! I'm so sorry!"
"No, no, no!"
"Wally, there is something very wrong with me." Her voice was lower than a whisper.
"No, your just different now!" It was hard for him to continue but after he thought about it he know exactly what he needed to say. "Your just different now and there's nothing wrong with that."
2 Weeks later.
The whole of Young Justice were sitting the living room of the mountain. Riley didn't really know how the subject had come up, but it had. Everyone was questioning Wally about if he had a girlfriend or not. Kid mouth let it slip that he did and that Riley new her. So now everyone was asking her what she was like. Knowing that her and Wally had been going out for two weeks she decided to have some fun with this.
"So whats she like!" Artemis asked practically on the edge of her seat.
"Well, shes like his own little spitfire. She wont let him get away with nothing."
Everybody started to awe and laugh until Wally spoke up.
"Only you would say that Riles." Wally was still chuckling a bit from her previous statement.
"Well its true!" Wally and Riley shared a glance that said: 'I'm gonna show the team your baby photos.' and 'Just try kid mouth and I'll tell them how you wet yourself on your first day of Primary school.'
That's when Artemis gasped. Everyone turned to look at her.
"I know that look! OMG! How did I miss that! Its soooo obvious!"
"May I ask what is obvious Artemis?" Kaldur said gently and slightly confused.
"Its Riley! Wally's girlfriend, his 'spitfire' if you will, is Riley! How did we miss that!"
It was now the teams turn to gasp. Wally and Riley shared another glance before they spoke.
"No! Its not-"
"We aren't-"
"You can't actually think-"
"Its not like that-"
"YOU CAN'T TELL BATMAN!" Riely finally spat out.
"Why not?!" Said Artemis who was still so proud of herself for figuring it out.
"Because he has forbidden me to go out with someone inside of the team!"
"Well that's mean! If you like Wally, which I don't understand by the way, then you like Wally!"
"Batman doesn't think that way!"
"But come on! You can do better than Wally!"
"Well tough Artemis! She wants me!"
"Wait! Do you guys have like, nicknames? Cause that would make this so much more adorable!" M'gann perked up.
"Well..." Wally had a devilish smirk on his face.
"Wally, don't you dare!"
"A few weeks ago me and Riley were eating cupcakes and suddenly Riley goes 'I has cup-quake!' and holds a cupcake in front of her face! From then on I have called her cup-quake or just quake!" (Learn your references!)
Everyone awed at this. It was so adorable! Agatha berried her head in her hands.
"I am so gonna get you back for that!"
"Well you are my little spitfire..."
"Stop being so lovable!"
Everyone awed again.
3 Weeks later.
They were on a mission in the Himalaya's. They were chasing down a suspected secret organization who were making crystals which could kill any person who comes in contact with the chemicals inside. It was meant to be simple. Sneak in, Grab the crate and get out. But then something happened. There was suddenly a man in front of KF and Robin who were trying to get the crate out. He had no eyes and there was a weird blue glow when he teleported in front of him.
The man just teleported in front of them. Nothing more, nothing less. It was strange. Was he a meta? Maybe, but first...
'Guys there is a strange guy here who has teleporting abilities! He seems hostile, should we attack?' KF called out on the mind link.
'If he attacks you, then one of you fight him and the other bring the crate out to us! We need that crate!' Kaldur replied back.
'Roger that!' Robin was the one who answered this time.
The man with no eyes suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Robin. He kicked her in the back and sent her flying. He teleported again and caught Robin before she could hit the floor. This really confused them. Was he not here to stop them? To hurt them?
Robin quickly recovered from her fall and sent a round house kick straight for the mans face. The man teleported away once again. This was really starting to get on Robins nerves. She started to look around her but before she had the chance to, KF was thrown into her by the man. They fell on the floor with a thud.
"KF, get the crate out, I'll take care of the man!" KF nodded and ran out with the crate. He couldn't run with his supper speed because he couldn't see over the crate.
"Hello Riley, I'm Gordon."
"You...You can see?" Agatha completely disregarded the fact that the man knew her name.
"Not the way you can, but I can see that you're afraid."
"Who are you?"
"I'm like you and I've come come here as a friend. I can imagine how it must of felt, going trough your transformation without any understanding of what to expect. I had years to prepare and still, I was horrified by what I became. Granted, I was younger. Care to sit down." Gordon led Robin over to more boxes and sat down on one. Robin cautiously sat down on one beside him.
"This box is very uncomfortable. I wish you wouldn't stare."
"I- uhhh-"
"Its a joke. I'm never good at them. I don't mind that your curious honestly and yes I used to have eyes, they were blue. This," Gordon gestured to his face. "Was the obvious change for me, but what happens inside can be just as profound. You see the mist changes everyone differently. The real difference between the two of us, is what happened after we went through the mist."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I knew from an early age how special I was. I had a mentor to guide me through, and the first thing she did after I transformed, was embrace me. Tell me Riley, what was the first thing that your friend did to you?"
"He...He ran away."
"How does all of this make you feel?"
"I don't know, its intense. Like a thousand bees are trapped inside of me. I can feel it, all the time. Its always there. And I can't stop it."
"Why would you want to stop it?"
"Because I destroy everything around me."
"That is simply not true. Every object in this universe gives off a vibration, did you know that? Nothing rests, animals, trees, people. Even this ruddy box, and you, you have the ability to tap into those vibrations. Don't you see? You could become magnificent. But somethings prohibiting you, straining your energy."
"No, no my friend is a scientist, he made this prohibitor collar to protect me." Agatha pointed to the new prohibitor collar around her wrist and under her glove so no one could see it.
"More like to protect people from you."
"No it not like that. My powers, I-I can't control them. And when I try to, it hurts me."
"All gifts come with a price, but you could learn to manage it. I apologize I'm saying to much. This is probably not the best place to continue our conversation. You don't have the tools or the understanding that you need just yet."
"To do what?"
"To be who you were always meant to be. Without fear, without pain, we can offer that to you."
"How?"
"I'll take you to a place were you can be with people like us."
"Us? How many are there?"
"You can learn about yourself, your gift. You can be safe, but only if you want to come." Robin looked down to the ground because she didn't want to say no but she didn't want to say yes.
"When your ready, I will find you."
"How will you find m-"
"Trust me, I'll know." And with that Gordon Disappeared.
I know, I know. Spitfire used but I thought it was cool so if you don't like it... I don't know.
