However, I'm going to my grandparent's place for a couple of days so it'll be a about a week or so before I update again.Plz review and I'll update ASAP! Thz! :D ^.^*

*In the Previous Chapter...*

The group reached the pool, unaware of the danger they were in. Assassins danced in the dark around the pool, invisible to those they surrounded...

*Next*

The group all knelt down, over the pool, looking upriver. Praying, begging, pleading for a bob of red to appear. To see their dear brother, their dear friend.

Please, Please, Please.

Nothing. No redhead. No Wally

"I thought you said he'd be here!" Robin screamed at Vanessa, tears in his eyes. He seemed so broken. They all did.

Vanessa cocked her head. Her eyes wide and shining with fake innocence.

"Oh! Did I say that?" She shook her head. "My bad! See, the River goes the other way!"

She told the group laughing.

"Grab them." She commanded the shadows.

The assassins leaped out and attacked them. They didn't sand a chance. The were outnumbered, tried from their long run, and in mourning and in pain.

"Ahh!" Robin cried out in pain as an assassin cut deeply into his leg.

"Rob!" Roy cried out. Damn. What kind of older brother was he? One brother was died and the other was now seriously injured.

His, and the other's doubts were clear on their face.

Vanessa drank it all in. The fear and pain and despair. She loved it all.

Such a shame Wally wasn't here to see this, she thought, amused.

*Next*

Unknown to Vanessa, unknown to the assassins, unknown to the group, Wally was there. He did see it. And he was mad.

Very mad. Pissed. Livid.

He plotted his revenge.

*Next*

Vanessa watched as the last one fell, Conner had to be overpowered by four assassins but no matter, he had been overpowered.

She smiled. Everything was going exactly as planned. She was giddy.

"Assassins, grab the prisoners."

She gave them all a wicked, predatory grin.

"I just want to thank you all, for all your help, before I kill you."

She laughed.

"You little witch." Roy spat at her.

"Hmmmm. That's the same thing your dear little brother called me before I told him I was going to kill you."

She crackled.

"How cute."

"You're sick." Robin yelled at her. "You're the one who should be at the bottom of a river, right now.

He faltered.

"You should be the one dead... Not Wally."

"Should, life has a lot of shoulds, kid. Bet you would if you could, but you can't change it. You shouldn't have listen to who ever told you life was fair, little birdy."

The group decided her crackle was really ugly and gross.

"You'll never get away this!" Artemis screamed at her.

"What's there to gain from all this bloodshed?" Kaldur tried being diplomatic.

"You're just insane." Conner always was blunt.

Vanessa ignored them as she bent over the pool, gathering some in a small glass bottle.

"It's all thanks to you, that this is all possible. Without you, I never would have been able to find this place."

She smirked at them.

"Only the most worthy are allowed to come here, after all."

She put the container in her pocket.

"I now have the water to save my sick uncle- he was the one who planned all this, you know. And with this-" She pulled out a dark, blood red, bulky looking amulet from her pouch hanging off her belt. "I can destroy the pool forever. My sister will die and I can take the throne! It'll be wonderful!"

"Your sister?" Kaldur asked.

"Yes. The stupid Queen you're trying to save is my dear half sister, Perdita. I should have been queen when father died. I'm older. But because my mother was royalty I wasn't considered good enough."

Her eyes were cold and hard. She shrugged.

"But no matter, all will be as it should... soon."

"Tie them up. Gag them then place them in the pool."

The assassins did and Vanessa held up the amulet and started to chant.

The ground under the shallow pool started to shake and brake.

The gags muffled the groups screams as they began to fall into the earth.

*Next*

The team felt a breeze around them as they fell and the red breeze began to carry each one to safety. When all 7 had their feet planted firmly on the ground, the breeze became a red blur, and it speed around them.

Then it stop-

And there stood Wally.

The team, and Vanessa, gasped.

With his hair a tangle and his clothes a mess, blood everywhere, Wally very much resembled a ghost out of revenge but...

With his eyes bright, lighting cackling around him, his body seeming to be made out of energy, Wally also could have, at this moment, been mistaken for an angry god.

Wally smirked, amused by the fear on Vanessa's face.

"Miss me?"
