Hello readers! As promised I did my best to update by today! Honestly it took a lot of motivation for me to get off my lazy ass as get this chapter done. I'm thinking about doing a short chapter for Christmas but I haven't decided yet.

Anyway I'm really sorry this update took so long, school has been a huge pain with finals but now I'm on winter break and I'll be able to work on the story some more. On the bright side though I'm pretty sure I didn't fail any of my exams!

You're getting bored with my life story, I can tell, so go on and read the real chapter nine.

Enjoy~


Abby...

Come on Glitch wake up...

Wake up? Abby wasn't asleep. She was sitting in her room at the Rogues hide out...

The Rogues! Oh god she needed to apologize to Leonard and Hartley for nearly running them over when she ran out. She nearly pushed Hartley over the banister and slammed Leonard into the wall... They're going to be so mad.

"Fuck me.." She groaned, flopping back on her bed. A warm liquid hit the back of her head as she laid back and her body went stiff. Slowly she sat back up and pressed two fingers to the back of her head, cringing when pain shot through her body. She frowned when she saw her fingers covered in a dark red liquid. "Blood..." She whispered.

Abby doesn't remember getting hit on the head. Actually... She doesn't remember leaving the hideout since she texted Wally. But she ran into Leonard and Hartley after texting the speedster.

"What the hell is going on?" She looked around the room, picking up a towel off the floor and pressing it to the back of her head to stop the bleeding. "And where'd the damn head injury come from?!" Asking one of the Rogues seemed like the best option so she went to the door, yanking hard on the handle when she found it locked.

Her door doesn't have a lock on it...

There's gotta be a way to wake her up! We can't just do nothing!

That's exactly what we're gonna do! This has happened before and we just need to let her find her way out again... Once she wakes up we'll explain everything.

Abby wasn't asleep! She was too aware of everything to be asleep! The blood collecting on the towel and the growing headache from the mysterious was no was she was asleep. "Guys?" She called out, looking up to the white ceiling. That seemed to be the source of the familiar voices.

"Jackie!" That was the most recognizable voice. "Jackie get me out of here! What is going on?!"

No response.

"Please..." She asked again, fear spreading throughout her person. "I can't be asleep. I was wide awake when I texted Wally so..." Abby shook her head, looking back to her bed and pushing off the blood covered blanket. A small black notebook sat on the middle of her bed, her name etched on the cover in gold cursive. Things were getting stranger and stranger so what the hell, she might as well read the notebook.

You're asleep.Was the first thing she saw. It was written in black sharpie on the first page and it was clearly in her handwriting.

You glitched in front of the entire Young Justice team, Batman, and the twins. But not one of those little glitches, doll. I mean yah fucked up and nearly gave away Robins identity kinda glitch. (:

Even though this seemed like something she'd write, smiley face and all, she still didn't believe it. Half tempted to try and find something to use to burn the book, she flipped to the next page anyway.

Don't get pissy at me I'm just telling you what happened so you can get out of your own head faster! I can bet my glitch that Kid Flash and the twins are flipping their shit. Maybe even Robin. Who knows.

Anyway, I don't know what happened before Jacob found me. (You? Us? Fuck it.) But after we got to the Cave it was kind of an out of body experience. I literally stood there behind Jacob while I listed off everything I knew about each person in the room. No one saw me but they were focused on me at the same time.

It wasn't pretty.

That didn't explain the head injury but Abby decided that the notebook might have something to go off of with getting out of her room.

After Jackie got me to glitch 'properly' I passed out. If you have that gash on the back of your head it's because Jacob accidentally slammed my head into a table while carrying me to the infirmary. (Dipshit move, yes, but you love him anyway!)

Now literally the entire team, the twins, and Batman are waiting for you to wake up. Try not to do any stupid shit when you wake up though because Batman really wants to interrogate you since you know the secret identity of everyone on the team. If you say something dumb then the odds will not be in your favor!

There was only a few sentences left and Abby had the feeling that this book would not help her get out of the room. All it did was tell her what happened after Jacob found her. She didn't even know where he found her!

You still have those numbers on your arms? You should but I thought I should make sure now.

Abby looked down to her arms and blinked a couple times when she noticed numbers and equations on her skin, probably written sharpie. Upon further inspection she noticed it was chipping in come places and realized it was sharpie and her own blood. Gross...

Yes? Good. Now memorize them because they've already been washed off your actual body and no one had the common sense to take pictures if they're important. They are. I don't know why but something tells me they're super fuckin' important. Something about when you got kidnapped I know that much...

Well my time here is done! Good luck getting out of here, me! You'll figure it out!

That's where the notes ended, the handwriting getting more illegible towards the end. She must have had trouble writing the last bit out..

"Okay just... Try to think of a way to get out, Abby... You can do this." She reassured herself, memorizing the numbers on her arm before wiping them off with the blood covered towel, thankful the injury stopped bleeding while she was reading the notebook.

It was clear there was no other exit in her room aside from the door, the window completely missing. There was only one thing she could think of doing to get out.

Bust down the door.

Dropping the towel and the notebook on the bed she stood up and ran to the door slamming her shoulder against it and groaning when she was thrown back.

Guys her pulse is spiking!

Maybe that's a good thing? Either way she stood back up and continued to ram into the door, feeling her shoulder start to bruise.

It took about ten hits for the door to crack and at that point she started kicking it violently. There was an occasional disembodied voice telling Abby to wake up or continue whatever she was doing, apparently she was showing signs of waking up.

When the door cracked again she fell back and let out a pained groan, rolling onto her side. A wave of exhaustion swept over her and she felt like falling asleep. Falling asleep while you're inside your own head did not seem like a good idea.

Abby keep going! We really don't want you in a month long coma again!

She heard Jacob and laughed though the pain. "I'm doing my best guys..." She mumbled. The small girl pushed herself back onto her feet, cringing when she felt her shoulder throb. "Just a few more times and I'll be out..." She told herself, not really believing her own words.

Walking back over to the door she braced her arms on the wall and the dresser, she needed something to hold her up.

Kick.

Kick.

Kic-crack

The large crack grew and reached all sides of the door, and impression where her foot was hitting was very visible.

"One more time.." She prayed, pulling together all her strength and kicking the door as hard as she could.

All at once the door collapsed on itself and vanished, leaving an open doorway to

blackness. "Oh. So I just go out there then?" She glanced over her shoulder to the bright bedroom then back to the never ending darkness. "You gotta be kidding me..." She sighed.

Abby took two steps out the doorway and she was falling.


I get that this chapter might be a little confusing but it'll all be explained later on.

The poll results so far-

Should Abby and Wally get together by the end of the story?

Yes- 5

No- 1

Let's wait and see- 0

Thanks for voting! If I don't get the amount of votes I expected by the end of the year I'll probably extend the deadline.

Keep the votes coming!

Happy Holidays and I hope you have a fabulous day.
