Hey. I've been really sick lately so please excuse this short chapter. Pleaseeeee.
Artemis's P.O.V.
"This is stupid," I say watching the movie. Wally picked The Incredibles because he was convinced the little boy was him. I sighed and ate another piece of popcorn.
"You think everything is stupid," Baywatch rolled his eyes and continued eating his fifth bowl of popcorn. Megan left in the middle of the movie and now it was just Baywatch, Robin, and me.
"You both are stupid," Robin sighed.
"She's started it!" Kid Mouth pointed to me.
"What!" I yell.
"You two are impossible," Robin rolled his eyes.
"I'm leaving," I get up and walk out of the room fast so I won't hear a comeback by any of them. I run to my room and open the doors with my handprint. I jump onto my bed and try to fall asleep.
Still Artemis's P.O.V.
"What are you doing?" I ask seeing a horrible site in front of me. Every member of the team is on the ground not moving and Sportsmaster stands in the middle holding Jade in her street clothes not her costume. "Let her go!"
"Sorry baby girl," he said with a Southern zest coating each word. "Orders are orders."
"No!" I say seeing him take the knife out. I try to move but when I look down my body is locked in chains. "Don't hurt her!"
"Artemis…," Jade mutters before the whole scene turns black.
"NO!" I scream sitting straight up. I realize my surroundings; it's nighttime and I'm in my room. I feel the sweat on my body especially my forehead. "Nightmare, yeah, just a nightmare."
Suddenly the lights to my room turn on and I see M'gann walking into my room.
"You okay?" she floats over with concern in her voice. "What happened?"
"I…I must've just had a nightmare," I sigh and give a small smile. "I'm fine M'gann."
"You sure?" she asks.
"Yeah," I say still panting a little. I look over at the clock; 3:56 a.m. "Did I wake you?"
"I wasn't getting much sleep anyway," she says but gets cut off as Robin and Kid Mouth come in the room.
"What the heck Arty? I was sleeping," Wally moaned.
"What happened?" Robin rubs his eyes and looks at me still wearing his mask.
"You never take that mask off do you?" M'gann smiles.
"I just had a nightmare guys," I say as Superboy and Kaldur come in.
"I heard screaming," Superboy says monotone.
"Artemis, are you injured?" Aqualad asks looking at me.
"Guys, it was just a nightmare," I say again. "I'm fine, just go back to bed."
"I see," Kaldur nods. "Sleep well." Superboy shrugs and walks out with him. Soon everybody leaves and the lights flicker off. I sigh and lean back on my bed.
It was just a nightmare Artemis.
Just a nightmare.
M'gann's P.O.V.
"Yesterday Clayface escaped prison and came to the Cave," Batman started the briefing. "You defeated him and he was taken away."
"And?" Robin asks.
"He never got reported being brought back to Belle Reve," Batman continues.
"So you're saying," Wally says. "He's still out there?"
"Indeed," Kaldur said standing next to Batman.
"So lemme guess," Artemis says. "We're going to go get him and try not to fail like our last attempt?"
"You're last attempt wasn't a fail Artemis," Batman said showing a security camera film on the monitor. "The security camera shows that he wasn't being taken away with Belle Reve guards."
"Sportsmaster," Robin grits his teeth as they zoom in on the image.
"Your mission is to figure out their plan and stop it," Batman confirmed. "But we doubt only Sportsmaster is working with Clayface. You are to observe—." He gets cut off by Wally.
"So then we can get Clayface and Sportsmaster behind bars!" he high-fives Robin. Batman gives him the death stare and he quiets down.
"Understand Sportsmaster is a foe for the Justice League," Batman said again. "You are to be extra careful and do not get over your heads. Dismissed." Batman walks off through the zeta tubes.
"I'll get the bio-ship then," I smile and we walk off.
Wally's P.O.V.
I was on top of a building in Star City looking at a smaller building in front of me. I was scoping out with Aqualad and Superboy here while Artemis was on the building across from us with Robin. M'gann was scoping out the building and should be back soon.
"I see a truck pulling in the North entrance, should I investigate?" M'gann says in my head. I look down and see a grey truck pulling through the doors. The guys are wearing all black but I can't see Clayface or Sportsmaster anywhere.
"No, stay to the side and report if you see anyone," Kaldur says getting up from his spot. "The rest of us will get closer." He nods at me and Superboy and we make it down in a few seconds using the bio-ship. M'gann appears beside us and Robin and Artemis come a few seconds later.
"Split up," Kaldur says in my head as I go the side entrance.
"Move Wally," Artemis says in my head. I look behind me and see her.
"Be quiet!" I accidentally say out loud. I turn to the side and see a few guys running over to us with guns.
"Ugh!" Artemis frowns at me before hitting the guys with a smoke arrow. I speed up and hit one in the jaw while the other one starts shooting. I sprint dodging the bullets until the guy gets hit in the back by Artemis.
"You're so stupid," she whispers at me. I roll my eyes until I see the garage doors open next to us.
"Looking for something?"
Robin's P.O.V.
"Do you see anything?" M'gann asks in my head.
"No, nothing here," Superboy answers. He was right next to me.
"How 'bout you K.F.?" I ask. I wait a few seconds and no reply.
"Guys, we found them. They're—," M'gann says and the link turns static. I turn towards Superboy. He shrugs and we continue down the ally.
I hear some noise coming from inside. I nod to Superboy and he kicks open the door. I get ready to fight but I don't see anybody.
"Robin!" Kaldur yells somewhere ahead. I turn the corner and still see no one.
"See anything Supey…Superboy?" I turn to see no one next to me.
"You seem lost," Cheshire says. I turn around and get my shuriken ready. She stands there just looking at me.
"Where are they?" I yell.
"They're…," she gets cut off by a web arrow engulfing here. I see Artemis walking towards me until Clayface grabs her and flings her to the side. I run up and take my bomb shuriken out. I throw it at his hand and it blows up.
"You okay?" I ask Artemis as I help her up.
"Fine," she dodges a kick from Sportsmaster running her way. Kaldur comes from behind him and takes out his "water swords" and slashes him. Sportsmaster turns back to him.
"Gah!" Wally groans being kicked to the side by a guy in a black uniform. I run over and throw a smoke bomb. I start using the fog to my advantage and hit the guy and the others coming my way.
Once the smoke vanishes there is a puddle of guys by me. Then I turn and see Cheshire going my way. I dodge her Sais but she throws something at me. I dodge it but then notice what it is.
Sleepy gas.
I try to hold my breath but she hits me in the jaw causing my mouth to open: the gas starts to affect me.
The last thing I see is Superboy hitting Cheshire in the back.
Ugh, I know it's short but I really just wanted to put a chapter up. Sorry if it looks like I'm not trying. :(
I forgot a lucky question of the chapter for Chapter 7! Unbelievable!
Chapter 6's answer: Not sure why but Wonder Woman, is that strange?
Chapter 7's lucky question of the chapter: If you could have any gift in the world right now price or size right, what would it be?
This chapter's lucky question of the chapter: What's your favorite word?
Sincerely,
Royallynot
