It seems in this one there was a lot of Robin and Wally interaction. Bros before ho's my dear readers, no worries though, you all know whats coming.
The moment those six words left Robin, Kid felt his heart pound harder than ever before, his breath began reaching his lungs in rushed, short gasps. His teeth grit hard and he felt his feet become unsure. He knew he should stop, he knew he should collect his thoughts; he knew he should cam down but he just couldn't. He just kept running, and his legs began pumping faster. He felt the sharpness in Robin's grip and he realized that Robin wasn't able to with stand the speed. Wally finally brought them to a stop, his feet sliding on the slick concrete and he quickly dropped Robin, the boy barely managing to cartwheel gracefully, before Wally slid into and alley and smacked into a wall. He felt as though he was buzzing, gripping at the wall as his gasps continued. He wasn't focusing on anything, however the only thought he kept going back to was;
'She has to be ok.'
Robin approached his friend carefully, seeing he was close to being in a maniac state. He placed a hand on his friends shoulder and Wally finally snapped his attention to him. Robin kneeled to the other, and helped the boy up.
"You need to calm down. You're not going to be able to help her like this." Wally looked to his friend with panicked eyes and nodded
'The Mad Hatter, aka Jarvis Tetch, said to be obsessive-compulsive, Alice and Wonderland as well as hat's being one of his obsessions, and highly delusional. Immature self image, so he identifies more with children. Intelligence level; Genius.' Robin read from his screen. He shuddered at the next string of words. He looked up to his friend, who had calmed down significantly. He still held a look of urgency, his heel tapping so quickly it sounded like it was vibrating against the ground. He swallowed dryly.
'Known pedophile, has been progressing further and further with each victim. Tends to favour blondes...' The team seemed to click into Wally's emotional state at that very moment. Their anger, worry and panic fuelled the fire that had set in at that moment.
'Robin, where is his last known hide out?' Aqualad's voice sounded sharply, calmly through everyone's head.
'The amusement park, we should also look to anywhere that's child related.' The youngest warned. Although not visible, everyone could just picture Kaldur giving one of his signature sharp and curt nods.
'Kid, go around the city for other possibilities. Everyone else, get to the park.' His voice commanded, the red head flinched at the words.
'But- I...'
'Now.'
Robin looked to his friend sadly and shrugged, aiming a grapple and shooting it off.
"Sorry Walls..." He said before being lifted off the ground. Wally watched his friend disappear and clenched his fists hard. He felt a snarl curl his lip dangerously, just before he sped off.
Artemis
She felt pin pricks just behind the surface of her eyes as they watered, but something kept them from closing. He had her pinned against a fake tree, his hands on her waist and beady, rat-like eyes staring into her. No, he was staring through her. Her arms were around his shoulders, awkwardly, and she was arcing into him. His head dipped down and she felt the sliminess of his mouth on her neck. Artemis cringed, her body doing everything the opposite of what she wanted. When she wanted to snarl, she'd smile. She wanted to scream, she'd mewl. She wanted to punch his mother fucking light out, she'd just pull him closer. She felt so unhappy and upset with herself she could feel her skin crawl. His right hand slipped further down from her waist and began massaging her hip while his other hand came up to her neck. His lips moved to her left side as his hand grazed the skin he had just tormented. He reached behind and undid one of the several buttons on her back. Artemis immediately felt fear tear through her body. Her one and only wish was that she could just shut her eyes and imagine she was somewhere else, anywhere else. Instead, she threw her head back and invited him to mar even more of her neck and now part of her collar bone. She then felt tears roll down her cheeks, as his right hand moved again to grope her.
'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...'
Her mind began the mantra as his hands kept moving, and his lips kept punishing. She could only look at the space that her eyes were forced to look and pray, beg and plead for something to change. The tears kept falling and he moved up to lick them off of her cheeks. He pulled away and from her for a moment to look at her face, before he forced his mouth on hers. His tongue blundered in and pushed her mouth around. Artemis felt her stomach turn dangerously, as this sick man's mouth practically inhaled hers. He assaulted her mouth with the taste of bitter tea. She wanted nothing more than to bite this asshole's tongue off. She wanted to push him away. She wanted to cry her full heart out. She wanted to punch the man's brains out. She wanted to kick him until she felt his bones break. She wanted to see him die. The only thing she did do though was return the kiss. Nothing could make this better. Even if he were to stop he'd only do it again. Or worse, make her do it. He pulled away from her, to glance over her with his lust filled gaze. He took that moment to unbutton a couple more buttons on her back and pulled the dress down, enough for bra-clad chest to be exposed. His eyes widened in utter glee and he hugged her body to his head, his body bent over her possessively. She felt his teeth dragging across her skin and her tears fell faster. She was staring straight up, at the ceiling to see there was a skylight. She looked at the clouds swirling dangerously, and she let herself imagine she was out there, amongst the clouds. Flying away from this, away from her secrets, away from everything...
And then Artemis found herself on the ground, her elbow supporting her as she looked around her. The Hatter was on his back, looking as though he had been flung because of his awkwardness. Atop of him was a black-clad... thing.
"YOU MOTHER FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! STAY AWAY FROM HER!" A familiar voice screamed venomously. Artemis felt realization wash over her as she finally linked the pieces together. Wally had the man's collar in one hand as the other reeled back and shot forward with astounding speed, right into the villains face. Artemis felt her body moving, and she launched herself at her saviour.
What?
He knocked the boy off Hatter, the pair of them rolling. Artemis was up into a fighting stance, as Wally brought himself up slowly. He looked at her confused, and hurt. She was absolutely horrified at what was happening, why was she doing this? The boy stood up, and she leaped at him, her leg swinging out to kick him in his head region. He caught her ankle and stared at her. She tried to say something but the words were withheld in her throat. He looked in her eyes, and saw the pain, the confusion. M'gann flew into the room then, and frowned.
"Get Hatter, I'll deal with Artemis!" She called. Wally looked to the red haired girl and only watched as her eyes glowed, and suddenly Artemis felt herself fall into her mind.
Wally
He watched as Artemis and Megan froze, staring at each other. Wally turned to the half conscious man that was only a few feet from him and launched at him. He grabbed the man's collar with both hands shaking him violently.
"Why?" He spat angrily, between the shakes. The man looked at him behind the swelling and blood. He smiled, his teeth disgusting and bloody, dripping over his lip and down his chin. His beady eyes shone as he licked his teeth.
"Her features and face and looks, exactly like the girl from the books." He said in a voice of wonder, a chuckle slipping through. Wally allowed his fist to collide into the man's smile and shook him harder, his teeth gritting and eyes narrowing.
"Like who!"
"Alice Liddell you moronic boy, now unhand me for I am no toy." The man said bringing his hand up to pull the boy off him.
It was then Wally lost it. His fists were a blur as he beat the man, and he slammed the man's head down to the hardwood floor beneath him. He then just kept bashing the man against the floor, well after the man had passed out. Blood was leaking from the man, correction, from his head and face. Wally just kept pounding his fists into the other when suddenly he was a good ten feet away from him, being held back by none other than Superboy.
"Kid, that's enough!" The boy yelled, his rasp entering his voice. Wally still struggled, his eyes fixated on the bloody mass that was once a monster on the ground. Robin landed in front of his friend, and slapped the boy.
"Get a grip man!" He said angrily. He turned from his friend and began checking the villain's vitals. Wally went limp, his exhaustion finally hitting him full on. He was finally set down and just stared and the floor before him. He crumpled and stayed there.
Artemis
Artemis looked around, seeing the twisted, dark and ultimately mysterious world around her. She was walking down an uneven hallway, pictures hung crooked along the walls. She took the time to finally peer at one. Her eyes widened as she saw that it was none other than her father staring back at her, his blonde hair peeking out behind his mask, hard hazel eyes staring at her hard from the painting. She stumbled back, falling against another painting, to which she spun to turn around. She saw the mask that belonged to her sister blatantly there. Wild black hair fell around the mask, and Artemis began to feel the two figured falling into the hall.
"Artemis!" a light, carful and worried voice called. The blonde girl snapped her attention to it, to see her teammate.
"M'gann!" She cried, happiness overwhelming her. The martian girl flew towards her, and the two met in a strong hug. Artemis opened her eyes to be staring at the skylight again. She panicked, in fear she had dreamt her rescue up. She sat up startled, reaching for anything. Her hand was caught in a gentle grip, to which she looked to. She looked up and found the green eyes that belonged to none other than the fastest boy alive. Artemis felt the tears well in her eyes and she lunged forward and captured the boy in a long, hard and needy hug. Wally could do nothing but return her embrace with all of his heart.
:D (P.s. It ain't over bitches.)
