THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND REVIEWS AND FAVS. THIS STORY IS ALMOST DONE BUT DON'T WORRY THERE WILL BE MORE STORIES TO COME.
Chapter 28
Wally was dressed in her Kid Flash uniform as she and the Young Justice team headed for Star City to see what was going on with Sportsmaster. Artemis was looking forward to putting a whole lot of hurt on her father if he was up to something.
"What do you thing Sportsmaster wants?" Wally asked out of the blue as the past few times she had come in contact with the Enforcer it was always to take her to her grandfather.
"Who knows but if he needs to take you somewhere then everyone is going this time." Kaldur told his teammate.
Wally smiled at the Atlantean who was always a good friend no matter what had happened in the past few months.
"We are coming up on the location of where Sportsmaster was last seen. Everyone be prepared for a trap." Robin pointed out as he waited for M'gann to land the Bioship.
As soon as the Bioship landed and the door opened the teens in a move that they had practiced for when dealing with Sportsmaster jumped out of Bioship and got into battle positions to be ready for every and anything.
Imagine the teen heroes surprise when Sportsmaster was waiting for them by sitting on a bench. The teens kept their guards up just in case the Enforcer would try something.
"What are you doing here Sportsmaster?" Kaldur asked as he brought his Water Bearers up in a defense position.
"I need Kid Flash to come with me right now!" The blond muscular man pointed out.
"Kid Flash is not going with you until you tell us what you want her for." Artemis growled at her father. The archer didn't know what her father had planed for her friend but she wasn't going to let anything happen to the speedster of the team who was always full of life.
"We don't have time to discuss what I need her for as my orders come from Lady Talia. She needs Kid Flash and Lord Damian to return to Infinity Island right away." The villain pointed out as he made a step towards Wally only to stop when Superboy step in front of Artemis and Kid Flash.
"What's going on?" Wally asked as she stepped out of the protection circle that her friends had made around her.
"Lord Ra's has been injured and may not make it through that night." Sportsmaster replied.
"WHAT?!"
"Lord Ra's was injured by an attack from The Light."
"Don't fall for it KF. Ra's is immortal because of the Pool of Life. He can just go to the water and heal himself when ever he wants to." Robin pointed out as he glared at Sportsmaster who made no move towards the teens.
"That's the problem. Lord Ra's has been in the water and it is not healing him. Many think that the water can only heal you so many times before you can't be healed anymore." Sportsmaster told the team.
"It does make sense. Ra's Al Ghul is said to be over 600 years old and it does make sense that the water can only heal you so many times." Robin told his his team.
Kaldur looked at Wally who looked like she was about to have a panic attack. Kaldur knew that even though Ra's Al Ghul was a villain he was still Kid Flash's grandfather who had been watching Wally from the time she was born.
"I need to go to him!" Wally said in a panicky voice.
"You and Damian will but we will go with you this time to make sure nothing goes wrong." Kaldur told the red haired hero.
Sportsmaster knew that he would not be able to get Wally to come to Infinity Island without the rest of the team since they were so protective especially Roy Harper.
"I knew that this was going to happen so I sent a message to Batman to have him bring Damian and Lady Maribella to Infinity Island which I know that The Big Bat knows that location to Infinity Island. Now let's get going as we don't have much time." Sportsmaster told the teens as he pulled a device out of his pocket and pressed the button to allow a water craft to appear in the harbor.
The team boarded the watercraft and felt the craft sink into the water. The team was unsure as to how long they had been in the water although everyone had a feeling that Robin was keeping track of the time with his wrist computer.
"How much farther do we have to do?" Roy asked looking a little sea sick.
"Not much longer as we are almost there." Sportsmaster replied from his spot at the controls.
Roy looked over to where Wally was sitting with her head in her hands. The archer could tell that his best friend and maybe future girlfriend was scared for the man that she called a grandfather. So Roy wrapped a arm around the speedster who put her head on his shoulder.
"I know that he is a villain but he is still my grandfather." Wally told the older red head.
"Everything will work out." Roy told his fellow hero.
"I hope so. He wants me to take over The Shadows which is something that I don't think that I could do. I'm a hero and not a mercenary nor an assassin. I made a promise to uphold justice and the law not break it." Wally told Roy who only hugged her even tighter.
"You are who you are Kid and nothing is going to change that."
"We are here." Sportsmaster called out as he navagaited the watercraft into that underwater dock on the island.
It took less than a minute to get Wally off of the craft as she ran toward her grandfather's bedroom with her team behind her.
Wally knew where to go as she had been given the grand tour by her Aunt Talia and also she had seen her mother go into the room that Wally knew held her grandfather and the fact that Batman was standing outside of said room.
"Do you know how he is doing?" Wally asked the Dark Knight.
"No but he is waiting for you along with Damian, your mother and Talia. I think it would be a good idea to go in right away." Batman told the young speedster who looked like she was going to cry.
Wally wasted no time in going into her grandfather's room where she was greeted to the sight of a very pale and sickly looking old man who was all wrinkled and gray hair. The Ra's laying in the bed was not the Ra's that Wally knew. This was not an immortal but a dying old man who cared for his children and grandchildren.
Next chapter Wally is faced with a tough choice as Ra's says his final words.
Ideas and dialogue are welcomed anytime.
REVIEWS WOULD BE WONDERFUL. THANKS
