(Last time, Lovesick Angel asked why Wally couldn't just run the San Francisco. Well, I guess you already got the answer, he was kidnapped and so was Robin. But the real question is how did he send that message on the radio? We'll see soon)

So far, I made it through half the traps without any scratches. I didn't care that it was in the afternoon when I arrive to the Death Hills. Yesterday, I had to stop to sleep at the foot of Death Hills so I would be well rested for any possible fights.

I lurked farther without making a sound until I heard something breathing slightly. I held my breath for a second but the sound was still there. I turned around but all I saw was the trees and the path I used. I turned back around and started walking until I heard it again. I stopped and sniffed the air, recognizing the scent.

"You can come out, Batman" I said with a slight smile.

He stepped out from behind a tree, he opened his mouth to talk but I interrupted him.

"You came to help rescue the two, I know" I said and started walking again. "Just try to stay out of my way if there are any fights." I added as he disappeared back into the shadows.

After a short while, I heard wild calls and shouts from up ahead. Instantly, I thought there was an army of savage experiments coming to kill us.

"You go get the boy, I deal with this" I called to Batman as he threw a metal staff to me.

The darkness consumed him again as I caught it. I cautiously walked farther, ready for an attack. But the farther I got, I started to doubt that they were attackers. When I reached the top of one of the hills, I saw what looked like a large prison yard. There were (what seemed like) hundreds of experiments that were crying for help. Somehow, they knew I was coming to help them. I ran down the hill, thwacking a few brutes on the way down. I swung hard at the lock on the doors when I reached it but the staff just snapped in half. I decided to rip the lock off and throw away the chains holding the doors close. I started running back up the hill when the doors flew open with the experiments pouring out.

When I arrived to the top, I spotted about fifty brutes waiting for us. They were clearly outnumbered and they realized that when the others started charging down the hill. I watched as they fought but then a few arrows started flying in to the crowd, mostly hitting the brutes. I glanced at a nearby hill and saw two men wearing green and red. It was Green Arrow and Speedy! I smiled at them and noticed Speedy giving me a quick wave so I wave back.

I figured that I wasn't needed in this fight so I decided to go help rescue Wally and Robin. I turned around to see claws being swung at me! I quickly dodge it by leaping and shoulder rolling away. My attacker was a boy with a wild yellowish-orange mane. He had fierce red eyes, a few whiskers on his cheeks, and a tan tail with a fuzz-ball on the end. He didn't have a shirt so his half-lion/half-human upper body was exposed. But he was wearing brown pants with the leggings ripped off a little above his knees. I noticed that his feline legs were covered in spots. He was mixed with a lion and a cheetah so he must have had great strength and speed, like me.

Obviously, he wanted to fight and I felt a little left out so I lunged at him. But only to have his grab my wrists to knee me in the gut and lifted me off my feet to slam me on my back. I coughed up blood but still climbed back up to my feet. I looked him over again, looking for a weak spot or somewhere that he wasn't guarding, 'His back!' I thought. Growling, I lunged at him with a fist coming in on his right. As he caught it, I reached over and raked my claws through the flesh of his back. He cried out and pulled back my silver hair so I would back off. I stumbled back as he bit my shoulder with his fangs.

Thankfully, he had cheetah fangs instead of a lion's large fangs that could easily rip my shoulder off. I shrieked so loud that it made his sensitive ears hurt. He released my shoulder and stumbled backwards, covering his ears. At that moment, I tackled him to the ground and pinned him. He kicked and thrashed as I leaned down bite him. I sunk my fangs into his shoulder and worked my way to his neck. He tried anything to get me off of him but when my fangs started to put pressure on his neck, his left hand! His claws stabbed into my abdomen as my jaw closed on his throat. I jerked my head up with his bloody throat in my mouth with little struggle, he quickly died.

I fell to my side and didn't dare to pull out his claws, they were plugging up the wound and I didn't want to die…yet.I curled up on the ground, waiting for someone to find me. I tried hard not to pass out but I kept drifting off until it was about sunset. I heard my name being called so with the little strength I had, I howled. It easily drew them to where I was.

The next thing I knew, I was in Wally's arms and the lion-boy's hand was pull out of my abdomen. Dad was on his knees next to me, almost in tears. Batman, Robin, Green Arrow and Speedy were all standing near me. Robin had dark brown feathers growing out of his cheeks and were leading down his neck and his arms appeared to be wings (I guess he's really a "robin" now XD)! Wally looked different too, the back of his head had technology attached to it with a small antenna sticking out (that's how he contacted her on the radio) and a monkey's tail was curling behind him.

"Oh God, Astrid, you're going to be okay. We're going to help you through this" I saw tears coming to Wally's eyes.

I reached up to caress his cheek, leaving a little blood on it, "Its okay, Wally." I said, weakly. "At least I get to die with my first love, my dad and my first friends, I'm happy" I held dad's hand when I mentioned him.

"I love you, Wally, and I always will no matter where I go after this life" tears came to my eyes as well.

"I love you, too, Astrid" he slightly nodded before I kissed him for the last time. Finally, my hand fell limp in my father's hand after softly squeezing it. At that moment, I was completely gone and on my way to meet my mother in heaven.

(The end of Astrid/SR-12's final POV)

(I know it's a sad ending but I'm thinking of adding a new chapter for the aftermath of her death. Do you think I should? See ya later!)
