My computer broke for about a week and it surprisenly started to work today. Disclaimer. I do not own, read that. Ch. 21
YJ began to walk off to their rooms, while walking Artemis spoke up. "Hey boys don't think you guys are going to get out of us watching those daddy videos." Megan giggled "Yeah!" The boys groaned, minus Robin who smirked. "What's the point of showing the videos you guys wont even remember that we had to make videos?" Robin asked. "Huh, what do you mean I just remembered right now." "About that..." he brought out his FWIS potion and squirted the girls, they blinked. The boys gave him a dumbfounded look. "What the..." then the girls had dazed looks on. "Now what were you saying about us showing you our daddy videos?" he asked the now confused girls. "Um, what videos?" Megan said in her sweet innocent voice. "Exactly." and with a bow he walked away leaving the older boys gaping at him. "Awesome dude!" Wally said catching up to him, they high-fived each other. "I thought you guys were mad at each other!" called out Roy. "We still are," they both said then they both went their separate ways. "Boys who understands them," muttered Artemis. "Totally," Megan said shaking her head. "Hey we should of made the boys video tapped their day with their daddy, don't ya think." Artemis said facing Megan. "Ooh yeah we should of, aww too late now." The other boys still there stared at Artemis and Megan, what ever Robin did, it worked.
(...After everybody got there stuff ready they all met up in the living room)
Batman was there to greet them, or uh scare them, okay more like order them around. "I am going to need a list of the extra necessity that you will be bringing, red tornado will wright it down you first" he said nodding his head at Kaldur. So it was like they were all in a line Kaldur, Robin, Roy, Conner, Megan, Wally, and last was Artemis. "A book." "Allowed" Batman replied that one was easy to say yes to, too bad they aren't all this simple to handle. "Utility belt." Robin happily answered. "Allowed." Batman hid his smile. "Bow and arrows, all as one." Roy said with determination all over his face, he was not going down with out a fight. A moment of silence before Batman finally spoke, "Allowed." Why did he allow two things even though it was said to be one? because at least now he knew Roy wouldn't be bringing beer along and he really didn't feel like arguing with Roy right now. "Blankets and pillows for everyone, it counts as one." the clone said. "Ha what a waste of bringing something along, I mean there the ones who are going to provide our sleeping bags, right?" he said towards Batman. Batman didn't answer him, but Tornado did, "No. We will only provide the tents." "Aw dang it." the speedster shut his mouth. "Allowed but you guys are cheating," Barry said joining them. Batman glared at Flash but he decided it wasn't worth fighting the man about it. So instead he turned to Megan who answered, "Bio-ship" she said grinning proudly. Batman thought for a moment "Allowed but not allowed to use to leave the camp." She was sad for about a second before adding "At least we don't have to hike up there anymore." "Yeah, good one beautiful. I'm taking all the food/drinks we'll need for the whole camping trip." kid flash said gleefully. "Allowed" guess your not that stupid after all, Batman thought the last part. Flash glared at him somehow he knew what was going through Batman's head, you have to expect these sort of things from each other working for so long together and all. "Bats don't think like that about my nephew and Artemis your turn. And your not stupid kid flash," Barry said. Batman quirked an eye brow at Flash, did he just read my mind? Nah must of been a lucky guess. "Who says im dumb? I'm not dumb, who told you that?" Wally asked confused. "Hey shut it Kid Mouth it's my turn. I guess I'll bring a radio that runs on batteries, so we wont die of boredom, oh and everyone can bring their favorite cds." "No cds, radio is allowed." Batman told her heh good luck trying to get signal up there, you won't be able to hear a single radio station. Pure static.
Superman quickly flew in and whispered to the league members. They turned back to the kids once they finished conversing. "Okay good news and some bad news..." Flash said nervously. "Good news is that you guys can bring along your favorite CDs." They cheered. "Bad news, we could only find 3 tents so you will all have to share." "Aww." they moaned. "Megan and Artemis you get the pink tent. Roy, Conner, and Kaldur you get the blue tent. Robin and Wally you get the green tent. Any questions?" Flash questioned. "UH, yeah could you switch me with Kaldur, or Conner, how about Roy? Any of those will do. Thanks." Wally said desperately. Batman gave him an intense glare, "Or you could stay in the tent you were assigned." "Or I could do that, yup I'll do that, awesome compromise, hehe. Wally said backing away, Please don't hurt me" the speedster begged. The Dark Knight ignored his comment, "One more thing you will not wear your costumes, those in uniform go change into regular clothes. Once you're done get to the Bio-ship you leave today," Batman said. "I thought we were leaving tomorrow." Wally pouted. "More bad news you have to leave today, so instead of it being 3 days it will be 4," Flash said fast but slow enough for them to understand. They groaned and got ready to say good bye to civilization.
About 2 to 3 hours later. (they finally got to the camp site...)
Artemis looked around, nature was beautiful. The birds chirped an enchanting melody. The warm sunlight bathed her skin yet the cool mountain breeze kept her fresh, and the smell of pine trees in the clean unpolluted air kept nature looking perfectly well natural. There camp spot was located on a nice opening, and a couple trees down there was a beautiful clear lake, they had passed it while on there way up here, and no other campers around for miles. But the best part was that the showers were just a climb up a hill away. Perfect she thought Nothing at all compared to the city, so peaceful. Then she looked around once more. "Hey Artemis I don't mean to disturb you but I uh need some help." Oh wait nope my teammates just ruined this moment, back to being grouchy guess I'll help Megan out. I bet she doesn't even know what a tent is, much less know how to set one up.
Kaldur and Roy were struggling to put the tent up while Conner looked at them with pure amusement. Wally was using his super-speed to put up their tent, put out the beds(blankets and pillows), taking out all the stuff from the bio-ship and the setting up the food in the tent. Robin sat back with his shades on and enjoyed nature. Wally stopped running around and ran to Robin, "Dude a little help!" "There's nothing for me to do, you got it all covered." he replied with a mone-tone voice. "Oh, well then go get some fire-wood, we need to cook the food on something and I'm pretty sure there's no ovens or microwaves out here." "Okay then," he got up and was about to run into the woods when their leader stopped him. "Do you not have any idea where you will be going, or how to get back?" Kaldur asked with a frown he certainly didn't want to be the one to explain to Batman why they lost Robin on the first 10 minutes of camping. Robin didn't even have to think about the answer, "Nope, but it'll be fun trying to get back!" the little hacker told him. "Will someone please go with Robin," Kal told the team. "Hey what do I look like? A kid, I don't need a babysitter. I can take care of myself." "You are a kid, and if you wish to go alone, then go ahead just don't go to far," Kaldur told him, and went back to helping Roy, he had managed to put the tent upside down and inside out. "I'll be good don't worry daddy" robin told him sarcasticly and carelessly walked away into the woods.
Later in the woods.
He had spent about a hour an half in the woods, he found about 5 sticks, he was staring to get frustrated by this, not that he minded looking for wood but the annoying insects where starting to bug him. He looked around, no one here so no one would mind if he... He whistled innocently and grabbed a branch from a tree and tugged hard, if you can't find any spare wood on the floor, rip the tree branch off. "Sorry tree, this will hurt you more than it will hurt me." He tugged and tugged until...
"Hey! Don't hurt nature, step away from the tree." Artemis caught him red handed. "As a hero you're supposed to set an example, you should know better Robin!" she scolded him. He instantly let go, "Hey Artey didn't see ya there! Haha I was just um playing tug or war with the tree, yeah haha lucky for you it won." She rolled her eyes at his pitiful excuse "Common I'll help you get some spare wood no need to get desperate."
After a couple more minutes Artemis tried to casually talk to him about their fight. "Say Robin why won't you just forgive KF? I mean this fight is so stupid and not to mention immature, your going to loose your best friend over a dumb prank?" "Ex-best friend he" corrected. "Right, look you might not regret playing that prank on kid doffus but you will regret loosing your best friend. NO more playing pranks together, no more food fights, no more helping each other with hw, no more extra person to fight against in video games, no more cracking jokes, and no more noise, ahh peace and quiet forever. I take it back don't forgive him life will just be simpler" She tried to use reverse sociology for the last one. Robin's eyes widened behind his glasses, "NO! For once you might be right Artemis!" "I am? I mean duh of course, now go apologize to him." "Oh no, you may be right but I still won't apologize to him, we can still be friends though." and Robin went back to looking for sticks. She face-palmed she tried really she did, the damn boy was just too stubborn maybe Megan was having better luck talking with Wally.
Oh you know what's coming up next... do I have to say it. With Wally & Megan.
At the campsite Kladur was reading his book. Roy was shooting arrows at rock targets. Conner was observing nature after all this was all new and fascinating to him. Wally was starting to open the food and Megan was helping. "So Wally how's life going?" "Just wonderful now that your here darling." Wally said with his infamous grin. When will Wally get the hint that she didn't like him. "Well that's uh good, I think. Wall can I ask you a question?" "Ya just did babe," Wally said munching on some chips he recently opened. "Right, why are you and Robin not getting along?" Wally slowed down devouring chips. "I dunno ask him." "Why can't you just forgive him without forcing him to apologize? He's your best friend Wally, I hate to see you guys fight, we all do." Megan tried knocking sense into him. "Why can't you just go out with me?" Wally tried to say it coolly but you could tell he was upset. She sighed this was useless, pointless, and Wally was too stubborn to forgive Robin. "Nevermind" she said disappointed that she couldn't help. Perhaps Artemis talked some sense into Robin.
(or not) Break line!
The sun was starting to set around the time the archer and the hacker came out of the forest. "Finally! I was going to eat all of the junk food if you guys didn't come soon." Wally ran up to Artemis and Robin. "Someone tried to rip the tree branches off," Artemis said gesturing to Robin. "Andddd why didn't you do that? You could of finished faster!" whined the hungry speedster. "It was made very clear to us, that we are not in anyway allowed to hurt nature," Kaldur said putting his book down then he turned to Roy, who was starting to pull out his arrows from the rocks. Roy added, "minus rocks." "Yesh what are we some sort of go green hippies? There's like a buzzillion trees out there." Kid Flash not willing to put this down."That's not the point, the point it you have to respect nature" Artemis said with a glare. Wally scoffed "I bet you only said that cuz you're always wearing green." "What's that supossed to mean? I'm so going to kick your ass don't hate on green!" So because of this Conner decided to change the subject. "Uh guys didn't we eat before we got here?" That distracted the hyper speedster, he apparently has a short attention span. "Yeah, but that was like hours ago. I'm starving now, remember high metabolism." "Of course, let's cook the food so we can eat," Megan cheerfully said. "Wait how do we start the fire? Do we use sticks like in the movies?" Wally asked he hasn't done this camping thing in avwhile. "Got it covered, I have a lighter in my belt that should start it." Robin was prepared for everything it seemed.
The food was finally ready, they sat around the fire since the sun had set and it was starting to get chilly. They would of happily eaten their food, told camp stories, sing songs, and make/eat delicious smores if they were regular campers, if, to bad they weren't. Instead the scene was more like this...
"Ow," stupid mosquitoes Artemis said swapping away the blood sucking bugs, "Where are bats when you need them." "Bats? Why do you need batman to get rid of the mosquitoes?" Megan asked perplexed. Conner took interest in this too, for he didn't understand. "No, not batman. Bats, you see bats eat all of these miserable bugs. A tasty snack for them, and no pesky bugs for us. It works like that." Wally explained. Artemis lightly elbowed him, "She asked me!" Before they could start arguing Kaldur picked up a stick and said "Who wants to play Truth or Dare?" This took all the negative energy from the atmosphere. "Yeah! Let's use that stick in your hand Kal." Dick said excited.
"Wait there's too many bugs out here!" Artemis unfortunately had worn short sleeves, "And we can't play in the tents it s too small for everyone to fit." Robin thought for a moment, "I got an idea!" he then ran into the green tent and came back out with his utility belt. "Who wants bug spray?" he said opening one of the many pockets. "ME!" They all yelled and ran towards him, they did this aggressively because Robin's bug spray can looked very little, barely enough for one person they thought. Robin gulped while they came charging at him, he felt like that football player who has the football worst part he is on the wrong team. It got ugly fast.
Roy was lightly chocking Artemis with a arrow, yeah right when does Roy ever do anything lightly. Kaldur casually grabbed it from the floor but dropped it when he saw the expression Conner held, "Step away from the spray and no one gets hurt" the clone yelled charging at him. Poor, poor Kal. Megan tried to freeze everyone in the air but it was too much, so she only managed to get KF and Robin in the air, upside down. "Green cheeks, look I love you and all but if you don't put me down I might accidently vomit on you, we just ate and being upside down isn't helping." Wally pleaded to be brought down. Robin was squirming in the air, "Meg! Please put me down, I promise I won't get the bug spray, just put me down!" She looked up at Wally with disgust she certainly didn't want to be covered in throw-up. She gently put them down, she was careful to keep Wally far away from her. Roy let go of Artemis, she had begun gasping for air. Conner stopped punching Kaldur, "What just happened?"
"Your all crazy! You guys lost it just for a can of bug spray? There's enough for everyone!" Robin said glad that Megan out him down but disappointed at how fast his teammates lost it so fast. "Sorry," Roy, Megan, and Conner said in usion. "Must be the air up here," Roy suggested.
(After they put on bug spray they re-gathered around the fire)
"Robin you can spin the stick," Artemis said still rubbing her sore neck, glaring at Roy. He spinned it. The top pointy part of the stick landed on Wally and the bottom landed on Artemis. "Aww not again! But I'm not stupid, truth." She was really starting to enjoy this game, "What's the thing that scares you the most?" He thought for a moment, "My dad." The others laughed. "Good one but what really what scares you?" "Dad." he answered again with no emotion what so ever. They stared at him bluntly. "No for reals, he's a scary guy!" he tried to tell them. "Uh Flash isn't scary at all." Artemis pointed out. "Flash isn't my dad. I'm pretty sure I called him uncle like 3 million times." "Oh right, then we will make a mental note of that, stay away from Wally's scary dad." Meg said with a giggle. "Just spin the stick," Wally said annoyed.
The top landed on Robin and the bottom landed on Roy. "Dare! Dare! Dare!" he said excitedly Roy always had crazy dumb ideas going through his head. "I dare you to tell us a scary story, everybody has to get scared. And if we all don't get scared or suprised you have to apologize to the guy stuffing his face with marshmallows." They turned towards Conner and Wally they were both eating marshmallows. "Conner put the marshmallows down," Megan whispered to her boyfriend. Conner looked at the marshmallow in his hand, then he looked up to see Wally eating them all. He decided to pop the marshmallow in his mouth instead "He's means him" Conner said pointing to Wally. Con not willing to put down the delicious soft snack. Oooh a challenge. "Okay let me think of a good one, hmm the creature, nah not scary enough. The rocking chair? Nah that one works better if you see the clip. The woman who danced with the devil? Nope Roy heard it before." Robin muttered to himself. The teammates shifted worried glances at each other, well looks like he knows some good ones.
"I got it! Listen up guys. Once upon a time, no that's not how it goes... Oh right a couple years back there was a young beautiful woman, her name was an unusual one, and she was in her early 20's. But as the pretty as the girl was her soul and personality weren't so nice. You see this girl was a thief, a murder, a mad woman she was. She was so wild and reckless, a rebel. Yet despite all this there was a man who was able to tame her, she fell in love with him. Then they got married. But she was not willing to give up her crime sprees' just because she was in love, instead she converted her newly husband, by force to join her in the crook business. They wore ballroom masks and always wore the most exclusive clothes, while moved from town to town, after they had robbed everyone clean that was. So they were always on the run and no one knew who they were because of the masks. That all changed one day in entering the town of Blistenburg.
The towns people spoke of the beautiful woman, and handsome man with masks on that recently moved there. Curious of them." Robin was abruptly interrupted.
"Yeah, yeah, look is this a evil wicked fairy tell where the town's people chase them down and kill them?" Roy asked "Cuz it's not scary." They glared at Roy. "I was listening to him if you don't mind I would like him to continue" Artemis told him sharply. "Look you want me to tell you or not?" Robin asked annoyed that he was interrupted. "Fine whatever go on."
"Thank you, ethem as I was saying. The man and woman moved there into a little cottage near a giant lake. They moved into that empty part so that none of the towns people would over hear there conversations. The man contently looked at all there stolen goods. 'My dear,' he began. "Don't say my name, I don't say your's we can't risk anybody hearing our names understand?" the woman said cutting her husband off. "Of course, but don't you see? We have everything we ever wanted money, and so many items. Are you not content with what we have, a nice cozy cottage here in the new town, right near this big lake. We can't start a new begging, raise a family, give up on this criminal records. Aren t you tired of Running all the time?" The crazy beautiful woman looked into her husbands eyes, she slowly removed her mask, as did he. "No one tells me what to do." was her simple answer.
A couple years later a fisher went out onto the lake, hopping he would catch some big ones. Well the seconds turned into minutes, soon the minutes turned to hours. The man began to get frustrated wondering where all the fish had gone. The sun was slowly starting to set, when finally he felt a tug on his fishing rod.
"And omg no way it was the man's body wasn't it!" Wally said smirking at guessing the ending. "Aww you ruined it Wally," Megan said pouting. "Guys will you please stop interrupting! It wasn't a body! Jeez people are so rude." Robin still upset that they wouldn't listen. "Opps, sorry go on."
"The man tugged and tugged it was going to be a big one, he could just tell. Finally with one last tug it came out. The man brought it in, "Oh it's just some overalls." The man sighed he was really hopping it would be a fish. Well the man thought there might still be a fish in the overalls so he looked inside. The overalls were filled with dirty lake water, the man looked through the dirt, slime, and twigs, when he brought his gloved hand out though it had a red liquid on it, suddenly a gruesome head floated to the surface of the overalls. The head was cut off you could tell, it had no hair, his eye balls were rolled to the back of it's head and it's skin was decaying it was very horrifying scene. The man yelped, but this man was brave so instead of dropping the overalls like a sissy and running for his life he slowly reached for the head. As soon as his finger was about to touch it though the head spoke(Robin made his voice deeper and scarier to add affect) "Yok-a-hom-a. Yok-a-hom-a. YOK-A-HOM-A!"( Robin looked at his teammates frighten expressions the way he did his voice really scared them Robin continued) The head repeated and repeated "Why? Yokahoma? Why?" The head said. Now the man wasn't freaked out that he found a head, he was freaked out that he found a talking head. Now the man ran to his car and went to go find the nearest police station. The end, I dunno if it's true I forgot, if it was real or fake." Robin looked at his friends who were all shaking, the Yokahoma voice still echoing through there heads but it was also freezing outside. "S-s-so Yokahoma was was the g-girl that killed-d her h-husband?" Wally said shivering it really got cold. "Yup, oh well guys it's about midnight so you guys gona hit the hay, and Roy I won the dare." "Y-y-you only won cuz you used that freaky voice" Roy said shaking "I'm going to sleep." The rest of them turned in too. Thus ends the first day of camp.
A/N: So I heard the yokahoma story when I was like 7 or 8 not sure, my art teacher told us it on Halloween, so my memory is a little shaky as to how it ends, and I was little it really scared me up to the point were I covered my ears the way she said it just freaked me out. Oh and it doesn't end at the talking head, I think the cops come to investigate and I really can't remember the end... I googled it couldn't find the story. Anyways uh CHiKa-RoXy is re-wrighting this story the better version if ya guys want to check it put look for her, I loved how she re-wrote them with more detail. Yeah uh review?
