Running From the Past

by Tears of the Moon 17

After his parents died, Dick didn't end up with Bruce. He ended up in a lab that changed him forever in ways he never wanted. Eight years later, Young Justice is sent on a mission that reveals that the scientists want Dick back ... No matter what ... Rated because I'm paranoid.

21. Chapter 20

Disclaimer- . . . . . T-T . . . Quit reminding me.

Note- If you rather not read the next few chapters that will probably suck (possibly not though), you can PM me and I'll tell you what happens.

Note 2- I think that this site hates me.

Chapter 20

"Why is it always me?" Kid Flash muttered to himself as he sped down the stairs and then back up.

"The coast's clear," he said, still annoyed with that fact that he had been the one to go.

See? Was that so hard, red-head?

Kid Flash shot a dark look at Shadow and muttered, "No but putting up with you is."

Shadow growled. Oh, you won't have to put up with me anymore if you're dead!

Robin was the only who laughed. The others slowly edged away from the panther, not wanting to get caught in the middle of a battle to the death.

Kid Flash scoffed. "Robin wouldn't let you."

Shadow mentally chuckled. Want to bet?

" . . . Robin, you wouldn't . . . Right?" Kid Flash asked nervously, turning his head to look at Robin.

Robin blinked and started down the stairs, not answering Kid Flash's question. Aqualad followed Robin and gestured for the team to follow.

"Finally," Artemis murmured as she passed Kid Flash and went down the stairs, leaving Kid Flash with his shock.

"I thought I was your friend!" Kid Flash loudly whispered as he followed Artemis.

_Scientist POV_

Oh, how he could hardly wait till Experiment 417 and his friends arrived. Yes, he knew about that Experiment 417 wouldn't come alone, thinking they would be able to take him on.

But they wouldn't be able to.

Not when he had traps for all his little friends.

Yes, traps. He was planning on making Experiment 417 and 113 suffer for leaving.

Then he was going to kill them.

No, he didn't care about taking the Justice League anymore. He knew now that his plan of taking them down was going to end up with him dying and them winning.

But he couldn't let go of the fact that he had been beaten. He was going to make Batman, Experiment 417 and 113 pay.

With their lives.

Smirking, he slipped back into the shadows, patiently waiting for his little lab rat to come get his cheese . . .

If only he had known that in retrospect, this would be his downfall.

A/N- Yeah, it's short but I told you that my chapters would be anywhere from 500 words to 1000 words. Anyway, hope you review because I would love to have 100 reviews when this is completed!
