When Quinn had dropped to the floor she started having uncontrollable spasms. Superman bent down and picked her up, trying to hold her steady. He and Black Canary rushed to the infirmary.
Superman placed her gently onto the bed and held her down by her wrists. Black Canary got all the medical equipment ready. She carefully injected the girl with a sedative. Quinn's spasms began to die down until they finally ceased. Black Canary then put her on the drip and handcuffed her to the bed rails on the side. These handcuffs had been specially created just like the inhibitor collars to suppress superhuman powers. So therefore Quinn wouldn't be able to teleport out of them.
Back in the lounge room everyone else waited for Superman and Black Canary to come back. The young heroes still hadn't uttered a word. They patiently waited for the other two to return, which they finally did.
"We managed to sedate her. she should be fine for now. I'll stop by tomorrow to check on her condition." Said Black Canary.
"It's late. Lets all go home and rest, okay." Spoke up Wonder Woman.
Megan and Conner stood up to go to their rooms saying goodbye to the others as they went to the zeta-beam.
They all disappeared one by one. All having the same thought in their minds.
What was going to happen tomorrow?
*scene change*
Mumbles and groans escaped slightly chapped pink lips. Eyebrows creased as an unpleasant face expression showed on the person. Eyelids fluttered open revealing the most unique pair of eyes. A deep purple colour with a touch of metallic silver. The eyes blinked slowly trying to get into focus. They fully opened and calmly took in their surroundings.
Another groan escape from the lips. A hand went to make its way to straight dark blue/purple locks but got stopped half way. Confusion settled over the person features. Their eyes looked down and saw handcuffs around their wrist restricting it from moving. An annoyed expression followed glaring at the cuffs, then an exhausted other hand that was free moved to the persons head to massage their temples.
"Shit." Quinn whispered to herself. Her own voice startled her slightly. It seemed so loud in the quiet white room.
Why's it always a white room?
She then felt an annoying stinging sensation in her restricted arm, she inspected it again and noticed she had a needle stuck in her arm. She frowned and gingerly moved her other arm over to it, grasped it and pulled it out with a slight wince. She let it go and it swung back and stayed dangling in the air.
She then heard a slight noise coming from the left, the turned and saw a door being opened. A tall lady in a black suit with blonde hair stepped in. She silently shut the door behind her. She walked over to Quinn and gently smiled down at her.
"How are you feeling?" She asked quietly.
"mmhh." was the only response she got. The woman smiled anyway, understanding that the girl was tired and disoriented.
"Do you know where you are?" The question was answered with the shake of a head.
"Do you remember anything from yesterday?" The strange lady asked again.
the question was once again followed by the shaking of the head. The blonde woman sighed at the answer but accepted it nonetheless. She then turned to look at the drip hanging in the air, but made no move to put it back into Quinn. Which she was grateful for. The lady lightly tapped the rail of the bed, smiled once more and then quietly left the room leaving Quinn alone once again.
*scene change*
Black Canary shut the door and let out a loud sigh. She walked back to the main hall where everyone else was. She walked over to the group and stopped. They all looked at her expectantly.
"She's awake. The drug has weared off, but she doesn't seem to remember any of the recent events that had happened here." She stated. The young heroes weren't sure to be happy about this news or not.
"You may visit her. But don't be too loud." suggested Batman. Her and Black Canary then left to go back to the Watch Tower. With nothing else to do and curious as to how the girl was acting now the 6 made there way to the infirmary.
*scene change*
Quinn had been laying there for a couple of minutes trying to figure out where she was, who that lady was and how she got here.
What did she mean by do I remember anything from yesterday? Was I here yesterday too? She decided to give up on thinking about it since she didn't have any answers. Instead she focused on trying to get into a seated position. She placed her free hand onto the mattress and pushed, she almost fell back down again. For some reason her muscles felt weak and sore, but tried again anyway. As she was in the middle of pushing herself up the door opened again. However this time someone else entered, well many someone elses' entered into the room. She froze in the uncomfortable position and looked at them in confusion.
more strangers. She mulled to herself. The one with the green skin stepped forward and lightly placed her arm onto Quinn's. Quinn flinched away at the contact, but relaxed once she realized the girl was only trying to help her sit upright. She then let go of Quinn's arm and stepped back in line with the others. Quinn sighed of relief.
Much more comfortable. She looked over at the girl and nodded slightly in thanks. The girl beamed back at her.
"Do you remember us?" Asked an elder girl with blonde hair dressed in green.
"n-no, sorry." Quinns voice came out hoarse and strained. She frowned at the pain and placed her hand to her throat, rubbing it lightly.
"That's okay!" exclaimed the green skinned girl. We never actually got round to telling you our names. Once Megan mentioned this the others realized that what she said was true and felt a little bad, but the Quinn didn't seem to mind.
"I'm Miss Martian but you can call me Megan or M'gann." began the green skinned girl in a cheerful tone. Quinn found her happiness refreshing yet slightly overwhelming.
"I'm Artemis." said the blonde giving a slight wave.
"This is Superboy or Conner." Said Megan pointing to the buff boy is a shirt with a large S on it. He nodded at Quinn.
"Hello. I am Kaldur'ahm, but you may call me Kaldur." Stated a tan man with eels tattoos and blonde hair.
"Hey! I'm Kidflash, but call me Wally." Introduced a red haired boy in a yellow suit.
"I'm Robin." Introduced Dick. Quinn silently wondered why he did not state his name but got over it. She nodded to each other them while repeating their names in her head. She then slowly opened her mouth to speak.
"I'm-" she began and slightly cleared her throat.
"Quinn Hunter." It was silent for a moment. The team finally got the learn the girls last name. This meant that they could do a background check on her, which Robin would get to later.
Quinn decided to voice a question that had been plaguing at her mind for awhile looked at each of them, her facial expression turning serious.
"Are you going to try and kill me?" she voiced her question.
They were silent for a moment before slight chuckles could be heard. They all turned their attention to Wally
"Of-of course not!" He exclaimed.
"We're the good guys, we're heroes and we're gonna help you." He concluded with a smile. Everyone else nodded in agreement. A small barely noticeable smile graced Quinn's lips.
"Where are the others?" She asked looking around the room, there were many vacant beds.
"The other experiments?" asked Wally. Quinn nodded.
"They're safe. They went home to their families." Explained Robin. At Robins explanation Quinn bust out in tears startling the others. She began to sob lightly. Robin looked the worst fearing he had said something to offend her. She brought her arm to her face and wiped away the tears revealing a smile.
"I'm so happy." she said reassuring the others that she was okay.
"We finally got out. They finally went home. I knew everything was going to be okay." she whispered to herself, although the others managed to hear.
Robin got out his computer from his utility belt. The screen popped up and he skimmed through quickly and typed a couple of things. He then stopped on a folder and turned to show Quinn the screen. It held a couple of photos of the kids from the facility smiling happily with their parents. Quinn bit her lip to hold back her tears instead leaned back onto the pillow her eyes shut and sighing happily.
I don't care if I die right now.
"And don't worry, as soon as you get better we'll take you back to your parents too!" cheered Megan.
Quinn opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.
"Mine are dead." She replied.
"Oh my gosh! I'm, I'm so sorry" stuttered out Megan feeling terrible about what she had just said.
Way to ruin the mood Megan thought angry with herself.
Quinn looked at Megan and smiled.
"Its okay. It was a long time ago." Quinn suddenly felt exhaustion waft over her. The others seemed to notice her eyes slowly beginning to close and decided to leave her be. They silently left the room shutting the door behind them.
*scene change*
Robin stood in the main hall, the light from the holographic screen reflecting onto his face. He had searched 'Quinn Hunter' into the system. Being part of a superhero organization, he had access to her and her families records. He opened up a file from the police.
Quinn Hunter
Sex: Female
DOB: 1996 December 3rd
Place of Origin: Earth
Deceased.
Family: Only known family.
Mother- Mary Hunter, Deceased. Father- Jeremy Hunter, Deceased.
Cause of death:
A house fire broke out on 2004 July 18, at 64 Maple Rd. Both parents bodies were found no longer alive. The girl was missing. A search party was sent out for 2 weeks.
She was pronounced dead on 2004 August 1st.
If I calculate that all, 2012 minus 1996. That makes her 16. The same age as me. The fire broke out in 03, so she would of been 7. Meaning that she'd been at the facility since she was 7 years old. That's half of her life spent in that place. Dick frowned at all of this, how could someone do something so cruel to a child?
He skimmed over other irrelevant information, he basically found out everything important. He tried searching for the facility himself, but there was absolutely no information on only thing he could do now was tell the others and then asked the girl in detail about what was going on with the experiments.
He found the others in the lounge and filled them in.
*scene change*
"They're ready!" Called out Megan.
It was finally lunch time. Megan had made some sandwiches that actually turned out looking pretty good. But the team knew not to be deceived by the appearance of her food. They all sat down around the island and took a bite into their sandwiches. Everyone had finished eating their first slice whereas Wally went in for his 5th. He was about to grab it but stopped as he heard a loud bang. The others seemed to notice and turned their head towards the noise. Another bang could be heard and then screeching. It was coming from the infirmary. They all jumped from their seats and ran down the hall. More screeching could be heard. It sounded like something heavy was being dragged along the tiled floors. Before anyone of them had a chance to grab the door handle and open it, it swung open on them.
Quinns head poked out from through the opening. She smiled sheepishly at them, a light blush dusting over her cheeks. She brought her right arm to rub the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Err, I couldn't help overhearing that you guys were eating lunch. I was wondering if I could join you?" She asked quietly.
Before the others had a chance to reply, Megan pushed in front of them all and grabbed Quinn by the hand pulling her towards her.
"Of course you can eat with us!" She cheered. She pulled Quinn closer through the gap in the door, however didn't get far as she heard a slight yelp and was then pulled back almost falling over. She turned back in confusion and saw Quinn lying on the floor.
"I'm still cuffed to the bed." She groaned in pain looking up at Megan. Quinn slowly got to her feet and stepped backwards pushing the bed back as well so she could open the door.
"I'm really sorry!" exclaimed Megan.
Why am I always hurting this girl? Robin stepped forward, he got out his holographic screen from his watch and unlocked the handcuffs. They all watched her in anticipation. Was she going to try and run for it. Instead Quinn rubbed her wrists lightly and smiled back at them all.
"Thanks." she replied looking at Robin.
Quinn followed them out of the room and to the kitchen. Artemis pulled up an extra chair and she sat down. They were all looking at her, making her feel quite uncomfortable. Robin seemed to notice and tried to start up a conversation.
"I hope these sandwiches are okay." Quinn reached out and took a bite. Her eyes beamed.
"They're more than okay. I only got to eat stale bread and water at the facility." They didn't know what to say to that, so everyone continued their meal in silence.
Quinn began regretting to ask to join them for lunch. She wasn't stupid, she could tell everyone was uncomfortable and the atmosphere was awkward.
"Recognised Batman A02." The sudden voice surprised her, she turned around to see who had spoken. But instead saw a large man dressed in black. He looked down at her and then beckoned for her to follow him. She slowly got out of her seat and followed him into a large hall. The other teens followed along. It was time to get some answers.
Batman got Quinn to sit down while everyone else stood behind her and he right in front. She began to feel nervous.
Is this an interrogation or something?
"We need you to tell us all you know about the experiments and what they did to you and them." Stated Batman after the brief silence. Quinn swallowed hard. The entire time she'd been here she had been concentrating on thinking about how safe she left in this new environment. She didn't want to think about the pain.
"I'll answer you if you tell me how I got here." All the teens behind her held shocked face expressions.
She just said that to Batman of all people, Batman!
He agreed to her terms and began to explain how the 6 people behind her had broken in and saved her and all the other children.
He concluded his explanation and she deemed he was telling the truth. Batman then gave her a look as if saying 'now its your turn, answer.' Her mouth felt dry and she opened and then closed it. She decided to start from the beginning of when she was first taken to the facility.
Sorry this chapter was kinda boring, I think the next couple of chapter will be a little slow since it'll be mainly explaining and getting Quinn to fit it and stuff, so for now all the action and craziness is over.
In the next chapter Quinn is going to explain how it was like in the facility and then later on something slightly fluffy will happen ;3 kekeke
Please read and review
Thanks, cyaa!
