I've felt so bad for not posting last week. And about the A/N my friend posted, she's kinda…out there. Just as a couple side notes: Zatanna's spells are just her speaking backwards (didn't make that up), "Talking out loud," 'Thinking/talking via telepathic link' Enjoy (hopefully)
"It's not going to be fun once we're done," Robin says with his signature smirk.
"Really dude?" Kid Flash said. 'Bats must be lowering your creativity level,' the redhead thought to the ebony.
'Whatever,' Robin grumbled in his head.
'Focus,' Aqualad's gruff voice was heard in their heads. 'Now is not the time to be immature.' Then the fight began. Superboy and Aqualad charged at Claw. The leader formed two swords out of water. He brought both swords down, but was deflected by the giant claw attached to the villain's arm. Claw hit Aqualad in his ribs. With a sickening crack of bones breaking, the eldest teen was sent into a wall.
In retaliation, Superboy threw a punch, but Claw dogged it. Claw shot out his metal hook, wrapping around the Kryptonian. The villain pulled out a pebble-sized piece of kryptonite. As Superboy lost conscious, Claw tucked the green rock under the teen's back.
Robin and Kid Flash were in the middle of a fight with Black Spider. The speedster ran at the evil man, trying to create a distraction so Robin could attack. But Black Spider wrapped both heroes in the red material. Struggling, the two were lifted up, and their heads were slammed into each other's until the both were unconscious. After depositing the boys on the ground, Black Spider joined Claw and Cheshire.
'How are we supposed to fight all three of them?' Zatanna asked over the telepathic link. "Ecaf eht ni flesruoy tih!" she said, causing Claw to hit himself in the face. As a result he was knocked out. 'Just focus on the fight,' Artemis thought, sounding determined.
"Zatanna!" Miss Martian tried to warn her team mate, but she'd been too late. Black Spider had caught the young magician. Zatanna's limbs were now bound and her mouth was covered. Due to the distraction Miss Martian had not seen the metal claw that hit the back of her head.
Thinking fast, Artemis turned and shot a trick arrow at Claw. The arrow produced a large fist that was deflected by his claw. "What do you want?" Artemis asked the female assassin.
Cheshire held up a hand, signaling for the other two people to stand back. She's mine. Once Cheshire turned to her sister and let out a dry, sarcastic laugh. "What I want doesn't matter," the older girl said. "What I need is my sister back." Dropping her weapons the villainess took two steps closer to Artemis.
The archer girl also dropped her weapons, although she was more reluctant. She knew Jade was skilled at hand-to-hand combat. He knew Jade could be very deceiving. "You want me back?" Artemis began. "I thought you said I would just slow you down."
"That was so long ago," Cheshire said.
'What is she planning?' Artemis thought to herself. Her question was answered. Because of Artemis's hesitation, Black Spider covered the archer in the red substance and Claw hot her with his claw.
After they confirmed her unconscious, they began checking the others. "Anyone who's awake, shut them up and bring them with us," Cheshire ordered. The other two simply nodded.
When Cheshire came to check on Kid Flash, he awoke. Looking around frantically he noticed Artemis. "What did y-," he was interrupted by Cheshire's hand clapping over his mouth. He and Artemis were dragged to a helicopter. Once the pilot saw them nearing the propellers began to turn. Wally didn't get a chance to see the pilots face. All he saw was a glance at what looked like blonde hair.
Aqualad, Miss Martian, Robin, and Zatanna started to wake up. Miss Martian was attempting to help Aqualad stand without causing his ribs too much pain. After a several minutes and a few grunts of pain form the Atlantean, Kaldur was standing.
Robin's situation had not been as complicated. "Gnidnib siht eitnu dna evarnu," Zatanna cast a spell, untying Robin.
"Where are Wally and Artemis?" Robin asked. Zatanna gasped, Miss Martian looked at her feet nervously while she assisted an angry Aqualad. "Miss M," Robin said, noticing how nervous the Martian was getting. "Are you okay?" Robin reached underneath Superboy's back, grabbing the kryptonite and putting the rock in the lead-lined compartment in his belt.
"Yeah," She said sounding detached. "I was just worried for Superboy." She let her boyfriend lean on her and Robin and Zatanna helped Aqualad into the bioship. Zatanna sent a curious look toward Robin, who shook his head in return. 'Sometimes I really wish I couldn't read people's minds,' M'gann thought to herself.
By the way, Ari won't be beating me up on Monday since I updated. And…there was one more thing. Ugh! I hate when I forget things. Oh yeah! Review!
