Hi again, another chapter and all. (This isn't the last one.)
So, I guess season 2 is over now, and it was kinda absolutely painful yes?
Yes.
Teekl was irritated by camera flashes, or so it appeared. Wally, making use of his time in Klarion's body was talking selfies and videos with his phone. Making ridiculous faces and exclaiming his adoration of the Young Justice team, especially the "super cool" "out of my league" speedster hottie.
"Zatanna is going to love these," After the fifth flash of light Teekl batted the phone out of the hand's of Klarion, currently controlled by Wally.
Wally wasn't bothered and instead searched for a permanent marker. However Teekl thwarted any plans for temporary tattoos So Wally put the marker to another use and wrote 'gnirb em a azzip' down on some loose paper and tried to read it in Zatanna's tone. Unfortunately no pizza appeared.
On the search for more things to entertain himself, specifically scissors. Wally stumbled across a mirror. It was a strange feeling to look at it and not see the usual mess of orange and yellow. Instead there was black and white, pointed and crisp. Wally shot himself a smile, but was made uncomfortable with the cruel childish grin that slid across his face.
He twisted in the mirror, contorting the tall and thin frame he now controlled. It didn't even move like his body, all gangly grace and tension. With one hand pressed against the glass Wally marveled at how light his skin was. He trailed a hand across his cheekbone tracing the contours of Klarion's face.
"You're really something huh?"
After some time studying Klarion's reflection in the mirror Wally was alerted with a great mewl from Teekl. The cat's hair stood on end with its teeth barred, eyes trained outside the wind shield.
The force fields blocking the exits flickered and disappeared Something must have had happened to Klarion. Wally hurried to the window and scanned outside, but was unable to see through the mass of trees.
Any view other than bark and leaves was unavailable to Wally until Teekl pressed its paw onto his hand, the world around him shifted and he could see his team, unconscious and tied. Wally watched as his body touched the ropes binding them, the knots undid themselves. As Klarion moved between the bodies a shadow snuck up behind him, something struck Klarion's skull and he fell.
Back inside the ship Wally's mind was spinning, but he believed he had an idea. Without a word to Teekl he ran to the ships storage room and pulled bags at random until he came to a large yellow one with 'Zatanna written in black ink across the side.
After some frantic moments of searching he found what he was looking for and headed to the hatch where Teekl was waiting with a small pouch.
"Come on Teekl, I'm going to need you." Wally said as he scooped the feline into his arms and slipped out the hatch.
Wally ran as fast as Klarion's body could carry him through the trees, dodging branches and stumps as he went, "This is exhausting," he huffed out, "I want, my body back."
Teekl bit into the exposed flesh of Wally's hand, "I am focused!" Wally hissed.
Finally Wally spotted the mostly brightly clad teenagers, and slipped behind a bush. The team was laid out like fresh catch for the market. It seemed only a few remaining assassins surrounded them, with Ra's al Ghul relaying orders to the shadow that had smashed Klarion in the head earlier. As the conversation between them came to a close the blade of a knife flashed in a palm. Things were about to get final very quickly.
Wally rolled the spherical object in his hand, "Good thing Zatanna still has show props." Wally thankfully whispered.
As Wally caught his breath and smoothed Klarion's suit, Teekl sprinkled something on to the object in Wally's hand,
With one last big breath Wally tossed the sphere into the clearing, semi filling it with red smoke. Wally jumped into the middle of the red plumes, smoothed his hair and tried to look as much as an entitled brat as he could.
"Great one," he sneered in the tone Klarion had used before, "I have orders from the big guy, I'm to take it from here. You can go."
Ra's al Ghul looked taken aback at the sudden appearance of the Witch Boy, "Klarion? Luthor's orders were extremely clear I-"
"Well so were Savages." Wally snapped, "Please do disobey, I get to use force if necessary " The smile Wally had seen in the mirror stretched across his mouth.
Ra's al Ghul seethed at being interrupted but was wise enough not to chastise the Lord of Chaos, "May I contact Savage before I leave them in your tiny but capable hands?"
"If you must," Wally complained with an air of nonchalant annoyance, waving his hand in a dismissive approval.
Outside it looked as if Klarion was annoyed and rather irritated, but inside Wally's heart began to race.
It beat so hard Wally feared the assassin's would soon be able to hear it. He tried to calm himself, as he watched Ra's al Ghul dial something in his hand. It certainly wasn't helping any, so his eyes slid over to his body. The red powder residue from Zatanna's smoke pellet drifted over his unconscious friends one by one until it reached the Speedster's body.
'What do I do?' Wally thought furiously.
When the smoke did reach the Speedster, Wally's chest began to ache. It started to hurt, started to really hurt. The ripping in his chest was familiar this time and when Wally opened his eyes they were the eyes he was accustomed to.
His vision was blurry for a moment but then the slim form of Klarion slid into view. His dark form getting harder to see as the sun slipped away and the day began to end. But Wally watched the outline of the slim boy place his hand on the shoulder of Ra's al Ghul, watched him as he conversed with the taller man.
Despite the circumstances Wally felt at ease, almost happy. His brain felt foggy as his nostrils filled with the red smoke, it was a pleasant state of mind.
"Damn cat drugged me." Wally thought blearily.
The team lay defeated at the feet of two Light members. Wally tried to move, tried to listen, but to no avail. He fell back into the blissful coma, murmurs he couldn't distinguish floated around his head.
Then everything went very dark.
