Don't own YJ
Thank you to all reviewers! Keep it up!
Sorry for the delay!
"ROB!"
It's KF's straggled cry that snaps Robin into action and he allows himself to be dragged for a bit as he pulls out two batarangs from his belt, slamming one into the ground and throwing the other at the vine.
His plan is solid but not without flaw.
He cries out when his arm halts but his body continues to go further and throws another batarang. He feels a tug in his muscles and knows he'll have to let go of the batarang keeping him anchored if he doesn't want to break something.
"Hang on dude!"
Wally appears out of the trees, much slower than normal but he's quick enough to grab Robin's hand as his grip slips and smart enough to move so the Boy Wonder can have some slack.
"KF, let go! You'll get dragged too!" Robin orders but the speedster only tightens his grip.
"…won't…Rob-" Another vine shoots out so quickly that Wally can't do anything but watch it grab him around his wrist and both teens are pulled into the thick foliage.
Aqualad has placed M'gann in charge of keeping the scientists calm as they trek through the jungle since Superboy has done little but glare at them in anger. Aqualad can't blame him as he is also a bit off put by their attitudes, many are whiny and consistently need assistance over the simplest of obstacles but he reminds himself that they are civilians and cannot do what they can.
"You should be able to call the bio-ship now." Superboy remarks as he pulls two of their charges over another set of rocks.
Aqualad is quick to halt that idea before M'gann can react, "That will give them our precise location. We are not far now, just have patience."
Patience isn't a term Superboy likes and the look he is giving Aqualad only cements that fact but he heeds the wiser teen's words and continues the march, his sharp ears tuned for any sign of his friends.
Wally awakens to a whole new level of pain along with a sense of disorientation.
"…ugh…why am I upside down?" He asks out loud, not expecting an answer and he nearly squeaks out in surprise when he receives one.
"Because little one, my vines have you in their grasp."
"Ivy!" He blurts out before he can stop himself. Ivy has always been one bad chick but the stories Robin has told him simply don't do her curved goddess like body justice.
"Mhm," She is practically purring out the sound as she circles the entrapped teen slowly, eyeing him in a way that makes him feel just like a piece of meat. "…Kid Flash, right?"
"Uh, yeah…hey woah, you know my name!" He lets out a laugh that sends his head reeling and decides that laughing is probably not the best idea.
"My babies heard you talking to the Boy Wonder…" She replies, bending forward to give Wally a spectacular view.
"Boy…Rob! Where is he!" Wally swings the vine casing forward so violently that it almost catches Ivy by surprise but all she does is laugh at him as she steps out of his range.
"He's…safe. For the moment I just wanted to talk to you."
Wally struggles but being strung upside down after healing a concussion isn't helping his already poor focus.
"You're quite interesting…" She coos into his ear and Wally shudders. "You were badly hurt when my vines brought you to me but now all you seem to be is red in the face and in your hair…"
She snakes her fingers into his locks and smells him and Wally knows that in any other situation, with any other woman, he would have been in heaven but right now…he really feels like he needs an adult.
"I don't find many men interesting…but you, I think I can use you."
Wally gulps but he can't help but grin at the villainess, "I hear that a lot, babe."
"Stupid! Ugh! Vines!" Robin is accenting each word he spits out with a batarang slash. He also remembers why he hates fighting the Mistress of Plants as he hacks his way to freedom.
His first priority is getting himself free and finding Wally.
His second is to slap Wally upside the head for not heeding his orders.
But then again, why should Wally heed his orders? It isn't as if he is the actual leader or anything…
He frees himself from the last of the vines quickly, giving thanks to his honed skills and natural abilities. As he pushes himself up, he winces at an almost inhuman screech as the rest of the vines shrink back away from him.
"…freaky." He muses as he squats down to grab a sample of the ruined plant and tucks it safely away in his utility belt for safe keeping. He gives himself a moment to attempt another contact with Miss Martian, clicking his teeth in frustration when he meets only silence. He then takes another few seconds to assess his situation.
His fingers slowly work their way to his ear as he bites his lip to push back the temptation to call Batman. He justifies himself by mentally going over the fact that Batman probably wouldn't be able to get his call and it would lead Ivy's men straight to him.
'If things get worse.' He tells himself, 'I'll definitely call him.'
He shakes his head and leaves the area before any more of Ivy's vines can work up the courage to attack him with their Mistress out of sight.
Oh Wally, cocky as ever. I wonder what Ivy wants with you.
