Flames walked down the damp corridor looking left and right. The walls where cracked and seemed to be crumbling as the mere sound of his footsteps. The only sound that could be heard was the drip, drip, drip of water falling from the ceiling. Flames continued on trying not to be scared. A quiet tap, tap of shoes was heard behind him. He looked round.

"Who's there?" He shouted to the darkness. No reply He didn't expect there to be one.

"Keep calm" He told himself

He continued on.

Suddenly as quiet as a mouse. Something grabbed hold of him, trying to pull him down.

Quickly alert he flipped it over and darted back from it. His whole body began to light up. Soon his hair began to sparkle and then caught alight,so did the rest of his body. The corridor was illuminated ,Rats scurried away. Flames dared a smile, He loved being in his flame form. The creature that had attacked him stood up and faced him.

"You!" Flames cried as he saw it's face. He walked back trying to get away from it. Only it followed him. He knew he had no choice but to fight. Quick as a dart he lunged foreward hoping to catch it off guard. Only the creature was ready. It dived to the side and grabbed flames' leg pulling him to the ground. His flame spluttred. It gave a manical laugh. Then smashed him into the wall. Flames stood up.

"I'm not beat yet." He jumped into the air kicking the creature and burning it,then punched it into the wall.

Then everything went black then white, blue and then reality materialised again.

"Well done Flames" A voice said warmly

"Thanks Nightwing" Flames smiled back
