Hey everyone, sorry this chapter took so long but I've just moved into university and have been really busy.

Anyway, a few things obviously came together in this chapter which is really exciting because it means the finale is close. As always if you guys don't understand anything or have some suggestions then PM me.

P.s I know the Jinx line is straight from teen titans but I just love it so much and wanted to use it in the story.

Hope you enjoy!

Wally woke up in a daze, from what he could tell he was in a dungeon-like room, almost as if he had been taken underground. His efforts to move were futile, leading him to the conclusion that he had been drugged with a muscle relaxant of sorts.

Once accepting that he wasn't going anywhere, his breathing became still allowing him to realize that there were mutters coming out of the double doors in front of him.

"I've calculated that the satellite is likely to hit Florida," one of them said.

Wally was able to pick up a European accent but was too disoriented to identify which exactly. The doors in front of him remained wide open, almost teasing the redhead who was sitting with his back against a concrete wall. It seemed that he was in the only room with any light leaving whoever else was there to remain hidden in the shadows.

Realizing the speedster's struggle for awareness, one of the voices stepped through the door and approached Wally.

A large, intimidating man in a grey hockey mask with blonde hair stood before him.

"Kid flash my boy, I've heard so much about you."

"Sportsmaster!" Wally groaned, "care to explain... why you've gone to so much… trouble to kidnap me?"

"Kidnapped?" Sportsmaster questioned, "It was my understanding that you came here voluntarily. But if you must know… I have an interest in your newly gained abilities."

"and what makes… you think I have… new abilities?" Wally managed to get out.

"well you put on quite a display against Cheshire and my men, didn't you?"

"I don't know… what you're talking about."

"Oh, come on Kid, it did happen right here above us." Sportsmaster laughed.

Suddenly things started to make sense in Wally's mind, how Cheshire just disappeared after he knocked her unconscious, why all those people had gone missing and why there was no marine life in the water. Wally was back on Tivoli island.

It was a Saturday afternoon in Happy Harbour which meant the whole team was at the cave. It was the start of fall but was still warm enough to enjoy a day at the beach. Wally hadn't arrived at the cave yet but the others just assumed he would come later; besides, it wasn't like him to miss a beach day.

Just as the team was about to head out the back door to the beach, Robin received a call.

"Oh, hi Mary, no he's not here, uh okay I'll see what I can do, yeah I'll call you later, bye."

"Robin who was it?" Asked M'gann.

"It was Wally's Mum, he didn't come home last night."

Artemis felt her heart sink.

Wally had regained feeling in his muscles allowing him to explore his surroundings but as soon as he went through the doors, he found Sportsmaster speaking with the same person as before. This time he could easily recognise the other individual as The Brain.

The French villain glared at Wally, "It Looks like the young kid flash is ready."

"Then let's get to work," replied Sportsmaster.

Sportsmaster grabbed Wally's Arm and started leading him to another section of the caves. Wally resisted, pulling his arm away from the man.

"give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now," threatened Wally.

"Because kid, if you do, your girlfriend is a as good as dead, and from what I hear Jinx is just waiting for a reason to do it," said Sportsmaster.

A scowl was visible on Wally's face as he continued to follow Sportsmaster. After being led through a series of caves and up several flights of stairs, the pair came to a room where a large device, with what almost looked like a satellite dish connected to it, sat waiting.

"Now boy, aim directly at the dish," commanded Sportsmaster.

"what? I'll destroy it?" Wally was puzzled.

"I doubt that," replied Sportsmaster, "now light it up."

Wally stepped around 10 feet in front of the device before vibrating his molecules and turning into a blur. He then extended his arms and unleashed streaks of electricity directly at the dish, expecting to demolish it. To Wally's amazement the device was not only still standing but seemed to be absorbing the electricity he was projecting at it.

After a matter of seconds, Wally stopped in exhaustion, lowering his hands to his knees. Sportsmaster turned to The Brain who had now entered the room, "well?"

"It should suffice," replied the brain.

Robin, Zatanna and Artemis sat on their towels by the beach.

"If Wally was last at his orientation ball before he disappeared then it would make sense to ask his friends if they know anything," suggested Robin.

"C'mon Rob they're not going to say anything to a random kid," commented Zatanna.

"hmm you're right, it'll need to be someone they know and trust. I'll have to look into it."

Artemis sat in silence but on the inside, she was in a panic. She knew that if robin spoke to Wally's friends, they might give away that she was at the ball. "Robin, it's only been a day, that brat has probably just locked himself in a basement or something," said Artemis.

Robin looked at the sand in front of him "maybe, but it's not like him to not even stay in touch, I've got a bad feeling about this."

Wally had been taken to a new room, this one had a bed and sink but also bars in front of him, cementing his state as a prisoner. Shortly after being moved to the room, he heard footsteps coming down the dungeon like corridor outside. They stopped in front of him, Wally got up from the laying position he was in on the bed to see Jinx standing on the other side of the bars.

"why are you doing this Jinx?"

"a girl has to make a living Wally."

"I meant the excessive lengths you're going to, to make my life miserable."

"hmmm well, I would call that revenge on the boy who broke my heart."

"I had no other option Jinx! You were going down a path that I couldn't follow."

"that doesn't matter Wally! You know what we had was bigger than that!"

Wally's eyes started to water, "but why do it at all? These people… they're not like you… they're monsters."

"you don't understand, do you? I'm bad luck, good was never an option for me."

"Don't say that Jinx, the justice league… they could ha..."

Wally was cut off "they could have what Wally? It doesn't matter, they'll soon all be dead anyway."

Jinx began to walk away "what? Jinx come back!" Wally called.

"It's too late Wally," she replied.

Back at the mountain, it was getting late and fear for Wally's wellbeing was rising. Robin decided he had been putting off his suspicions for too long and walked down the hall to Artemis' room. He knocked on the door and was welcomed to come in. He found Artemis on her bed painting her nails.

Robin shut the door behind him, "Artemis can I ask you something?"

"ah, sure rob."

"where were you last night?"

Artemis put down her green nail polish on her bedside table and looked up at Robin, "I was at Wally's orientation ball okay, but I was only there because I owed him for taking Cheshire's knife for me."

"Artemis I'm not concerned that you were there, Wally's my best friend and I just wanna make sure he's okay, so do you have any idea where he is?"

"all he told me was that he was going to walk back to his house, I don't know what happened after that."

"alright, well thanks anyway," Robin went to walk away before turning back around, "look Artemis no one is judging you for hiding whatever feelings you have for Wally, but once someone is put in danger because of it, well that's when it's gone too far."

Artemis began to tear up, "I'm sorry Robin."

The dark-haired teen left the room shutting the door behind him.

Rather than going to bed, Robin decided to continue his research on the string of robberies carried out by Sportsmaster. After sitting down in the computer room, he immediately noticed a discrepancy in the global energy surges. There was a sharp increase in surges on Tivoli island, the boy wonder was straight out of his chair and on the phone to Batman. A few minutes later he had Zeta beamed to the mountain.

"what is it Robin?"

"the program you installed, it's identified a surge of energy on Tivoli Island larger than anything of natural causes. What do you think could have done it, Sportsmaster?"

"no, but I have a suspicion on who did cause it, and he went missing last night."

Robin was startled, "what? But he couldn't have? He wouldn't have?" He stuttered to Bruce but the dark night's eyes were looking elsewhere.

The television behind Robin was lit up with 'breaking news' written across the bottom. Robin turned to the screen to see what Bruce was looking at only to find out that a satellite had just fallen in Florida, killing hundreds. Robin turned back to Batman, but he had vanished.
