AN: I'm not getting any reviews. I would like to continue this further on, but if no one's reading it, and I'm just a bother, I won't.
OoOoOoO
Electra looked up at Madame Rouge skittishly.
"Nope, no sharing. All mine. Find your own."
This words spilled out of her mouth in a frustrated panic as she turned to run away.
"Come back child, I won't hurt you. This will be quick."
Electra ran farther into the icy forest to escape, ducking under fallen logs and sliding down snow-covered hills. The frigid air was cutting into her throat, making it sting to breathe too heavily, but even so, she pressed on, running towards what looked like a different quadrant of the arena.
It wasn't until she had almost reached the other forest when Electra looked behind her and noticed that Madame Rouge wasn't following her. She was nowhere to be seen.
Electra huffed a bit, when a knife was thrown by her ear. Madame Rouge towered behind her dangerously with a giddy grin on her face.
"Child, I said you shouldn't run; I will have to torture you to death, but that will only be bad for you. Just time consuming for me. Dying can be so tedious."
Electra whipped around and unclipped an axe from her newfound belt.
"I couldn't agree more."
She swung the axe at the villain's head, only to slice it through her neck and have it reform. Madame Rouge launched at Electra and tossed her against a tree, curling her fingers around her victim's neck.
"After you, I will kill your friends. One... By... One."
Electra clenched her teeth and spit.
"N... Never!"
Madame Rouge's eyes widened, flickering with a deadly aura. She gripped Electra's throat tighter, turning her cheeks blue. "Oh, but I will. I've made allies of my own. Allies like Slade and Red X. Did you get to see what happened to Kole?"
Electra choked in response.
"Pity. It was my idea. Slicing someone in half looks like fun. I could do that to you if you please."
Madame Rouge touched a knife to Electra's waist threateningly. She had just begun to press the knife into her skin when a rope tied her up and yanked her off the hero.
Herald had appeared with a rope in his hands and was motioning for Electra to run, all while tangling the villain up.
Electra clawed at her throat gasping for air as she stood up. She ran to where she was running earlier and resisited the urge to look back.
"The Herald is eliminated. 21 remain in the arena."
A voice came over the loud speaker, as long as a muffled scream from behind her. She couldn't take the morbid curiosity any longer. Slowly, she turned her head to look behind her.
Herald's head was dangling to the side, with blood coming from his mouth and bleeding from his nose. His eyes were glassy and wide open.
Horrified, Electra swallowed the lump in her throat and slipped into the greener section of the arena silently. She sprinted for a while until she ran into something large.
Electra fell to the ground and looked up at what she had hit. Terrified she realized it was a person, but relaxed entirely when she found herself looking into the familiar eyes of Aqualad.
OoOoOoO
Beast Boy gaped at Jinx's frozen expression in shock. Her pupils had shrunk to small dots, and the color in her eyes was a lot paler. She laughed loudly in an outburst.
"J... Jinx? Are you okay?"
Jinx threw her head back and cackled.
"Why wouldn't I be, Daddy? Where are my dolls?"
Beast Boy frowned.
"I'm not your 'Daddy'. Jinx, is everything okay?"
Jinx shuddered and closed her eyes. "Kole's been cut in half..."
"Wh... I knew she had died, but... That's what you saw?!"
Jinx's shoulders shivered again. "Daddy, you're the one acting crazy." She giggled in a childlike way.
She opened her mouth to speak more when she yelled in pain.
Beast Boy hit the ground to look her in the eye. "Jinx..?!"
Jinx began to sob. "I want to go back to the city, back with Wally, back home!" Can you take me home? Please?!"
Beast Boy sat crosslegged next to her and rubbed her shoulder lightly. He may not be the most serious Titan, but he can be really sympathetic.
"We'll get you home. I bet Kid Flash is waiting for you right now. He's probably watching you. He would want you to be strong."
Jinx hiccuped and put her head in her hands. "I can't be strong! I can't! I've truned already! I just can't!"
Beast Boy looked at her sadly. He felt exactly like this when his parents had died, so he knew how to get her to feel better.
"Jinx, just remember that he is definitely watching. He cares about you more than he cares about anyone else, I bet. You're gonna be okay."
Jinx cried into her hands, eventually falling asleep, with Beast Boy right beside her.
OoOoOoO
Kid Flash stared intently at his TV. Jinx was crying hard, and he couldn't be there to help. It really bothered him and put a pit in his stomach.
There was a familiar knock on his apartment door. When he went to go see who it was, he heard Jinx onscreen.
"I want to go back to the city, back with Wally, back home! Can you take me home? Please?!"
Kid Flash's heart felt like it was ripping in two. The girl he loved the most was helpless and he couldnt do anything about it.
The door swung open on its own.
"Wally?"
The Flash was staring at his nephew with a concerned look on his face.
"How are you holding up?"
Kid Flash buried his face in his uncle's shoulder, although refusing to cry. He just sat there and hugged him.
"I really didn't expect to see you here."
The Flash hugged him back. "I didn't expect to be here."
Somehow, that set Kid Flash off the edge. He began to cry, sobs shaking his body.
"If I had just run a little faster!"
The Flash looked down. "Speed isn't always everything. You don't even know where she went! How would you run there?"
"Wait- maybe Batman knows! He's the world's greatest detective! He has to know!"
Kid Flash looked up expectantly and grinned, but The Flash frowned.
"Bruce... Thinks all of this is below him. He hasn't even shown a blind eye to the situation. He refuses to help."
Kid Flash whipped around angrily, changing his mood drastically. "No! That's not- his son is in there! What about Green Arrow? So is his! And Aquaman's!"
The Flash shook his head. "We're putting something together apart from what Bruce knows. I'll get Jinx out of there. I promise."
Kid Flash looked at the ground. "I can't handle this shit anymore!"
The Flash turned to leave. "Everything happens for a reason, and most of the time, it's for the better. I will save Jinx."
"Right. You promised."
"I promised."
