I am so sorry for the long wait, and am only giving you this. But, the next chapter is going to be the last. A big battle with everyone (minus acrobat) and the revealing of what broke Sarah. So, just wait and I promise this isn't going to be a two-year hiatus.
She had opened her eyes to a blurry, concrete floor and two rubber boots and closed her eyes again. The dizziness was too rough to comprehend.
She opened her eyes again to more blurriness, which scared her. She could only smell the overwhelming sting of bleach, wich also scared her and the only thing she could hear, was a dull ringing. This, overall was more terrifying than the man sitting on the blurry desk across from her. As she slowly came to her, horrible for once, sense, the man 'tsk'ed.
"Little girls really shouldn't venture out on their own." The voice was distant. Like a voice in an empty, large room and it never actually echoed off the walls. Sarah frowned, trying to see the man that teased her. He had a suit on, a hat half black and half white, and his face was a bit odd looking. The features were still undescribable in her condition but she could've sworn half his face wasn't right. His hand was jerked up and it seemed like he caught something.
"Well, that's disappointing.." He sighed and patted her on the shoulder, walking towards the door. "See you in an hour." He had stated just before the door creaked shut. Sarah let her thoughts wander. She was fighting with herself, wondering why she couldn't break the chains on her wrists when memories flooded back into her mind. She could remember flying, scanning the earth for any sign of a bomb. Any whiff of krypton that could be there. She could remember turning to look a different direction when she was tossed like a ragdoll.
Something big had crashed into her from under. It had sent her spiraling towards the rainforest and feeling her torso wildly. Her vision was blurring. It would go black, then show a spinning tree getting closer and closer. But, just as she felt the needle, she blacked out completely. That's how she was here, she realized as her vision came back into focus.
Here, exactly, was a cement room, only thing occupying it except for her, was a dark brown desk with a chair sitting behind it. The desk didn't hold anything special, just a few stacks of papers, but Sarah was determined to figure out if there was a key in one of those wooden doors. So, she inched her chair forward slowly, face grim.
Conner wasn't in the mood. Well, for most things anyway. He tuned out all civilized conversation and stared off into the vast green like they would tell him where his girlfriend went. Nobody could pry a full sentence out of him, just an angry grunt as he left for a few minutes, and coming back a few minutes later. M'Gahnn was using the bioship and spanning the island from above while the rest of the team took different parts of it on ground level.
Artemis and Robin took to the towns and public areas while Aqualad, Kid Flash and Superboy took the sorrounding forests. Conner was bounding through the center of it when he came to a crash site. Immediately feeling hopeful, he looked at the snapped in half trees and the dirt that was turned over. It looked like a small plane could've crashed, but Conner could smell how fresh it was and the humans wouldn't have enough time to get rid of the plane quite yet.
It was as he stormed through the trench, did he see a faint glimmer in the sunlight. He stomped over and picked up the object, frowning. It was a dark blue and slightly transluscent. When trying to crush it inbetween his fingers, he found out that he couldn't even leave a crack. That's when he realized that it was the same shade of Sarah's scales.
Guys, I know where Sarah was taken. He told the others through the mental link gruffly and they all responded with a short "be there soon.". As the team members all crowded around the area, gasps of shock were heard. "Something really strong must've taken her.." Kid Flash mumbled saldly, both he and Robin looking at the crime scene themselves. Conner heard the young speedster whoosh off for a second to check the sorrounding area again before he came back. "Nothing else around here..." Was the only thing he could say and Conner growled loudly, punching the nearest tree and knocking it down.
