So I think I am gonna continue the story passed the return to the present, I don't know we will see.
We are ten chapters in I think we all understand, I do not own anything.
Chapter ten
Iris POV:
I am Iris West daughter of Wally west (flash) and Artemis West (Tigress)
Age: 15
After Bart carries me away from the fight I start to fade out.
"Come on Irey, you have got to stay awake" Bart insists, I do as he says because something tells me he is right.
I hear mom, Dee and Jai's voices shouting and I force my eyes open, mom throws her arms around Bart and I.
"Is she alright?" Jai asks "bring her inside and I'll heal her wounds" Dee says softly.
Once I am laid out on the couch, Dee starts using her magic to heal me up.
"Laeh siri dna ehtoos reh niap" Dee chants over and over, the pain starts to ebb away and I feel strength return to my arms and legs.
Jai sighs in relief when my pain goes away and kneels next to me.
"Hey sis, how are you feeling?" I sit up and look myself over.
"I feel great, Dee is better than pain killers" I send her a thankful smile, I know that had to take a lot out of her and I decide I will apologize later.
"Oh your clothes!" Dee exclaims and gestures to my blood soaked, torn tee and dirty, shirt and jeans "Emit ot yrt tuo eht wen kool" my clothes swirl and suddenly I am in a soft and clean, grey tee, that's a little too big and a pair of dark green pajama pants.
"Um… Dee these clothes aren't mine" I say and she shrugs "sometimes the magic does what it wants"
Mom makes me a cup of hot chocolate and Jai grabs me a pillow and blanket "you just rest now" mom warns as she wraps the blanket around my exhausted body.
I snuggle into the pillow and immediately dad and Damian's faces flash before my eyes, I sit up and Bart leans over the couch "you ok cousin?" he asks worried.
"Where are the others? Are they ok? How is my dad? And what about Damian… and Chris?" I start to hyperventilate and Bart moves around the couch to face me "they are fine, they just called in and said everyone was fine" he turns to my mom "Wally sustain some minor injuries, but his speedy healing should have him in perfect condition by the time they get here"
Just then Wonder Woman, Miss Martian, Clair, and Hestia all walk in the door, Clair and Hestia run over to the couch "oh Iris, how are you feeling? Are you ok? Were you hurt?" Clair bombards me with questions; Bart grabs her hand and pulls her away from me.
"She is fine, just needs some rest is all" he reassures her, they are pretty cute.
Hestia lays a comforting hand on my shoulder "I am pleased to see you well and alive" I nod thanking her and she moves over to talk to Dee and Jai.
Soon Amistad, kali, Aqua man, Aqualad, and rocket all join us, then Collin, Lian, Red Arrow, Cheshire and Green Arrow make their way inside as well; that's most my team, but I still wait anxiously for Damian to return.
Dee offers to put me out using a sleeping spell, but I refuse; not even magic could get me to sleep now.
Finally my rescuers troop into the living room, dad flies to my side "are you ok?" he asks urgently, I not and mom pulls him aside to explain the damage.
I desperately search for Damian, but don't see him anywhere; Chris says Damian went straight to the boy's bedroom.
Why is he hiding from me?
Chris Kent's POV:
I am Superboy, son of Zod, enemy of Superman.
Age: 16
I understand Iris's need to see Damian; I heard from Hestia that Kali was completely fine, but I needed to see her for myself.
I find Kali hiding out in the kitchen, she smiles when she notices me. "Hi Chris, I am glad everyone is all right" she sighs and watches something over my shoulder; I turn and see Amistad and Hestia talking.
"They are good together" she states happily, I nod again.
"Hey Kali… I know we are trapped in the past right now… and stuff is going on, but… when we get back, would you like to… maybe… uh see a movie or something?" I can't even force myself to look at her face.
It's completely silent for a space of a heartbeat "like a date?" she ask, I look up and she is grinning.
"um… yes, if you don't want to that's fine; I know you have a lot to deal with and…" she cuts off my rambling "of course I would like to go on a date with you!" she cries, drawing the attention of Clair and Bart who are sitting nearby.
Bart winks and Clair gives Kali thumbs up, before my glare causes them to mind their own business.
"I am only 14" she says "so you'll have to ask my dad" I nod.
"Of course" I assure her "no problem"
"How about the first Friday we are back home?" she ask.
"That sounds great!"
Damian POV:
I am Damian Wayne, son of the batman.
Age: 17
I don't go see Iris, even though it's driving me crazy not to.
I stabbed the freak, he deserved it and I have killed before; somehow I can't face Iris, I can't let her see the undesirable parts of me… the demons inside.
I sit in the middle of the floor, covered in blood; some his, some my own, but all of it dirty and not fit for Iris to see.
I hear a knock at the door and Grayson slips in. "Hey Dami, what's up?" he asks and sits down next to me.
"I stabbed him Grayson. I wanted to kill him, slowly and painfully." I say bluntly, Grayson just nods.
"That is understandable, that monster attacked and tortured your friend. If you didn't want to kill him there would be something wrong" Grayson states.
"You taught me killing is wrong. It's not our way" I repeat words I've heard a thousand times, again Grayson nods.
"Wanting revenge is natural, especially if they hurt someone you love" he pauses and sighs "but you have to push past the hurt and the anger, if you wallow in it you'll drown in it." He looks at my clothes "now go change and see Iris, before she comes looking for you" he orders, stands up and then strolls leisurely out of the room.
I take my time changing into some barrowed clothes and head down the hall to the living room, where Iris is resting on the couch.
Most people have headed to their rooms or dispersed around the mountain, leaving Iris to rest.
"Damian?" she says before I even reach the doorway.
I walk in and make a bee-line for the couch, her face is exhausted, but all her cuts and bruises are gone.
"Yeah?" I say as soon as I kneel down.
Iris smiles brightly "you're ok?" she asks.
As she sits up I realize "Iris, where did you get that shirt?"
She glances down at the shirt. "Um… Dee got it for me. Why?"
I point to a symbol on the corner, a red Nightwing; Grayson got it for me when he moved back to blÜdhaven.
"That's my shirt… it was at home… in the future" we both stare at the shirt for several minutes.
"What do you think that means?" Iris asks, hugging herself tightly.
"I don't know. But I need to talk to my father"
