Chapter 11: We Are An Army
''Leave us alone, please,'' Danny pleaded.
''Let us go,'' White pleaded. ''We didn't do anything.''
The Fentons had set up the room as an ambush. There were collars around their necks, their powers now useless. They had small wounds from the anti-magic blasts that had knocked them out.
Their former parents were trying to drag the twin heroes toward a dark van to take them back to the Guys In White. But the two had finally been freed, and no way in hell were they about to go back to the one place in the world they hated the most.
''You freaks aren't escaping this time,'' Jack says.
''We didn't do anything to you,'' White says. ''Why are you doing this to us?''
''Because you're monsters,'' Maddie insulted. ''And all monsters need to be locked away and the keys thrown out the window.''
''We aren't the monsters here, you are,'' Danny glared.
Maddie forced his arm behind his back. His wrist and hand almost between his shoulder blades, causing extra pain.
''Stop,'' White yelled. ''AH.''
Jack had hit him across the face, making him fall to the ground. The adults held the two kids very firmly. They weren't gonna let them go again without a fight. Just because they hated them, doesn't mean they were gonna let their two favorite torture victims slip away a second time.
''Both of you, shut up,'' Maddie screamed at them. ''Muzzle them so we don't have to hear them.''
Jack pulled out two muzzles with his free hand. But before they could do anything, one of bird-a-rangs came out of nowhere and pinned them to the van. The adults held onto the teens with more force. Nightwing approached them, looking really pissed.
''You two are going to let them go, or things are going to get ugly,'' he threatened.
''Relax, teen hero,'' Jack said. ''We have these creatures under control.''
''I wasn't talking to them,'' Dick growled. ''They are living and breathing people, not science experiments. You two let them go, right now.''
''Do you have any idea what these two even are,'' Maddie asked him. ''They can wipe out anyone they wish with a wave of their hand. They need to be locked away to keep the human race safe.''
''They don't want to destroy anyone,'' Dick says. ''You cause them great pain because of things that you believe. Ever thought that, maybe, you were wrong.''
''We don't cause them anything,'' Maddie said. ''We can't cause what they don't feel. They don't feel pain, or any human emotions. They are cold-blooded killing machines that deserve to die.''
''What is wrong with you,'' Dick asks. ''You were supposed to raise them as their parents, but instead you torture them in spite of years of parenthood. If anyone deserves to die, it's you not them.''
Water came rushing at the two. The scientists were both knocked away from Danny and White. The twins fell onto the ground, dazed by the assault. Aqualad had joined the party.
''It appears that the diplomatic approach didn't work,'' Kaldur says.
''And here I thought that my brothers were the stubborn ones,'' Dick said.
They ran to their friends, helping them sit up.
''Get them off, get them off,'' White pleaded.
He was reaching for the collar. Aqualad reach up and used his enhanced strength to break it off. He did the same with Danny's. The collars gave them a slight shock when they were forced to be removed.
''Are you two okay, my friends,'' he asked.
''We're fine,'' Danny answered. ''We've felt worse.''
The two adults stood up. Jack pulled out one of his lazer guns while Maddie got out a bow staff.
''I've been waiting to do this,'' Nightwing said, taking out his Escrima Sticks.
Aqualad pulled out his water bearers. The two ready to defend their friends. Nightwing ran at Maddie while Aqualad chose to fight Jack.
Aqualad formed twin swords of water. Jack may have been twice his size, and like three times his weight, but Aqualad was trained in combat while Jack was about as much of a fighter as a newborn baby.
Aqualad easily dodged the blasts from the gun. He would jump behind cars and fire small bullets of water as retaliation. They were at a standoff.
Nightwing and Maddie were deadlocked in close combat. Turns out, the psycho scientist was a black belt. They locked weapons in combat. There was a flurry of attacks as the ex-mom wanted to get back her prisoners. What she didn't count on was Nightwing's brotherly instincts making him a better fighter than her.
He crossed his sticks, blocking her bow staff. She tried to quickly retract her staff to deliver a swift blow to his chest. But Nightwing saw this coming from a mile away. He took away him escrima first, throwing her off. He then hit her with a spinning kick right into her chest.
''How did you do that,'' she angrily asked. ''No one knows that move.''
''You really think that our friends would teach us about your lame tactics,'' Nightwing teased. ''You'd have to train for a few more years before you can even begin to give us a real fight.''
She whipped out a gun to shoot him before he reacted, but was blasted off her feet by a sonic scream. Nightwing looked over just as Danny shot Jack with one of his ecto-rays. The two looked about to pass out, but they still fought. Nightwing and Aqualad ran to them as they fell onto their knees.
''We couldn't let them hurt you,'' White says.
''Big mistake,'' Maddie growled.
''You are not taking them,'' Kaldur told the Fentons. ''We won't let you.''
Jack took out a remote and pressed a button on it. Instantly, whole groups of Guys In White agents surrounded them. They all had guns pointed at the four heroes.
''You and what army,'' he taunted.
Danny and White locked eyes, and nodded. They took each other's hands, the connection starting to glow.
''We are an army,'' they said.
They both opened their mouths... and screamed. They both unleashed unbelievable roars of power. Danny's was of huge green sound waves. The sound was like the moans and wails of the dead, like death itself. White's was giant gold sound waves. The emotions of the sound were of pure hate and anger. Like someone's innermost anger turned physical.
The combined roars washed over the entire street, causing untold destruction and chaos. Walls broke apart. Cars and agents sent flying off the ground. Glass and street lamps shattering. The Fentons being thrown all the way down the street. Their roars stopped.
White and Danny fell onto their knees. They were just about ready to pass out from the lack of power.
''We need to get you two back to the cave before anything else happens,'' Dick quickly says, helping Danny stand up.
Aqualad did the same with White.
''What did you two even do,'' he asked the magical heroes.
''We are twins so we...'' White was cut off.
''Siren,'' Danny asked.
White collapsed onto the ground, a bullet hole in his back. But there was something else, his veins were slowly turning dark red and they could see them through his skin.
''White,'' Danny yelled, running to him.
''What's happening to him,'' Dick panicked.
When Danny saw the veins, he knew what was wrong.
''Blood Blossoms,'' he gasped. ''He's been poisoned.''
