Kid Flash B03
Artemis B07
Wally didn't even bother to roll his eyes at the name. He stepped out of the zeta tube, Artemis right behind him.
"Hello?" The room was empty.
"Maybe they're in the living room." Artemis suggested turning to walk down the short hall. Wally nodded and followed. When he rounded the corner he stopped short, having almost collided with Artemis' back.
"What is it?" He leaned sideways to see around her ponytail and gasped at the sight. "Oh my- Guys! What happened?" The Team was scattered around the room in various states of physical damage, though none of it appeared life threatening.
Zatana was sitting on the couch, her face hidden in Connor's chest; her shoulders were shaking, wracked with sobs. Cassie and Karen were each wiping their eyes, with Karen occasionally reaching up to wipe a tear from Mal's cheek. Jaime and Bart were sitting quietly on the floor. Gar had his legs tucked up to his chest and was lying sideways on the other end of the couch with his head resting in M'Gann's lap. The fur on his face was marked with tear stains.
M'Gann looked up at them still standing in the doorway.
"Where…" Wally scanned the room one more time to see if he'd missed anyone.
"They captured La'gaan." M'Gann said quietly standing. "Artemis will you…" She glanced down at Gar. Without a word Artemis took her place on the couch, stroking Gar's hair.
"Where are Robin and Batgirl? Nightwing?" Wally asked looking around yet again.
"They… the wanted to be alone." M'Gann choked on a sob.
A web of fear spread in Wally's stomach. "M'Gann, what happened?"
M'Gann lifted her hand to her eyes to wipe them. "Wally- Nightwing… They saw him coming and- he- he couldn't do anything."
Wally took a few steps forward and gently grabbed M'Gann's arms. "What happened?" He asked again.
"Nightwing is dead."
