GG: Sorry it took so long the website I usually watch YJ on is down and I had a deal with my mom that if I can get straight A's on my interum (Interim?) That I could go back to writing my story. Which by the way is harder than it sounds because again I'm in three highschool courses and the rest is advanced, and I'm in the eighth grade. Good news is my self estem is up I've doing contortion and eating better anyway I'm back!
August 8th 9:58AM
Happy Harbor
Mount Justice
You know time moves really slow for me. Like really really slow. So slow I was convinced that time couldn't move any slower. Apparently I was wrong, because not speaking for days makes everything move especially slow. That's right, Wally and me had kept quiet for more than a day. And right now, we're in episode six... which means I get to meet Artemis! Wait... Oh crab. I wonder how much of a difference there would be if Wally can't talk to Artemis. I did not think this through.
I'm just gonna let that happen... At the moment I was at the beach with the others, meaning everyone but Wally who is currently at school. I knew enrolling in Gotham Academy would work out. Me and the rest of the team were all decked out in swim suits, including yours truly. Yes, that's right. I'm in a swim suit, but it's a surfer's outfit with long sleeves and pants. Take that. No one will eva see my scars. That afternoon was spent with me pretending to be a shark and scaring M'gann. Who forgave me right away. The only thing is I bearly escaped the questions and attempts at conversation. The team has no clue that me and Wally are now voluntarily mute. They think we spent too much time at Sing 'Bots and then got into a screaming match argueing over who was a better singer.
"Whisper! Come help us bury SB!" I nodded and ran over to help. Let's hope the speedster luck holds out.
~Later because they don't list the next transmission~
Soon after we buried Superboy, Robin informed us that we should get into uniform. So I followed everyone inside and took a quick shower and shoved myself into my costume. I was the first one done with my shower. Yep. Feeling the aster. I stared at my reflection on the computer floor back in the training room. My face was pale. Wally and I binged a little after the accident, so now we were back full force on our usual diet. Fun right? I snapped my head away from the floor when I heard the zetabeam began powering up. I couldn't force myself to listen to the annocement of who was arriving, so I ran over to the tunnel and waited for them to walk in. Not at all to my surpise Batman, Green Arrow, and Artemis walked in. Batman continued walking until he was behind me, while GA introduced. "Artemis, this is one of your teammates, Whisper. Whisper this is Artemis." Artemis held out her hand out for me to shake, I gladly took it. "It's nice to meet you." Artemis' voice was different then the cartoon displayed it. It was more... more... exotic. A lot like her sister's. I nodded, remembering I hadn't responed verbally. She looked upset I hadn't spoken.
Sensing this GA put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't take it personal Whisper here lost her voice argueing with the other speedster on the team." Artemis instantly calmed down. I smiled behind my mask. I could already tell that me and Artemis would be pretty good friends. Atleast I hope so, I kinda wanna sing at their wedding. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up... God I need to learn to pay attention it's strange how I can do that when something intresting is happening but not other wise. I looked around and saw everyone else had came. Wally should be here soon... Didn't Rob ask me to text Wally about a mission? Yeah. Yeah he did. Oh well. I pulled open my computer cuff and got ready to record the zeta tubes. Robin peeked at my screen and sent me a look. What up? I shook my head. Why ruin the surprise? Hearing the zeta tubes warm up I hit record.
'Kid Flash B03'
A playful smirk graced my face as Wally came running in, dressed in yellow swim shorts, Wally then tripped over his own two feet and tumbled to the ground. Thank god for video camaras. I wouldn't be able to make it without my blackmail. I could feel Roin's eyes on me as he came to realize what I was doing. Dude. You gotta send me that. Hell no. This is my blackmail. I rolled my eyes and went back to watching Wally make a fool outta himself. As the sound of a beach ball bouncing echoed, everyone's eyes were on Wally. Finishing my recording, I hurriedly closed my computer cuff. I turned my head towards Artemis waiting for her to speak. "Wall-man, huh? You know your friend Robin here was just telling me all about you. By the way love the uniform." I chuckled silently, refusing to make a single sound. Wally looked other to me and tilted his head as he pointed at Artemis, questioning who she was.
"It's Artemis. Your new teammate." I tried as hard I could to stop her, everything from waving my hands wildly and shaking my head. As you can see that failed. Why the hell doesn't anyone get that when you shake your head, that you shouldn't do it? Anyway I couldn't tell what Wally's reaction was, as soon as Artemis began answering his question he walked behind me and wrapped his arms around my neck and laid his head on top of mine. The joys of being short. Frowny-face. Teardrop. Green Arrow stepped forward and then began explaining things which of course I didn't pay attention to... There was only two verions of Green Arrow I really liked, the one from the live action tv series Arrow and the one from Batman: Brave and the Bold. SO... yeah.
' Speedy B06'
I jumped when I heard Speedy's name. It had been forever since I talked to him, he had stopped answering my texts some time ago. My grin grew wider as Spe- RED ARROW! Gotta remember he wants to be called Red Arrow. My eyes looked over his costume, I guess you can say I had a real affect on him, seeing as his costume had changed slightly do to my suggestions. It still had the same basic design, but instead of the top being half red it was all black with a red arrow slashing it's way through messily, coming in a diagonal line as it started in the lower left corner. His regular boots had been replaced with black military style combat boots, which if I'm not mistaken have a secret compartment that held a minature crossbow in one and small arrows in the other.
I counted down the seconds until the yelling began. "Well for starters he doesn't go by Speedy anymore. Call me Red Arrow." RA's voice was confident as he walked deeper into the room. When we gave his new costume a test run, he said something about wearing a costume made for Gotham makes it a lot easier to seem a whole lot more intimadating. Green Arrow shuffle forward, taken back by Red's new costume. I would of been too, the costume made Roy look grown up. It showed the truth behind Roy. He had been a sidekick for a long time. Roy had been taken hostage by the bad guys. Roy got hurt by the gunfire. Sure, Star City guys weren't the same as Gotham baddies, but Star City did have more mafia groups. Which means more well thought out sensible plans in the long run by the villians. Roy knew what he was doing and the costume showed it.
Green Arrow continued to stare as he tried to talk to Roy. "Roy? You look-" Red glared at Green Arrow as he stopped infront of his former mentor. "Replacable?" Green Arrow froze for a second, bearly coming up with an answer. "It's not like that, when you said you were going solo-" Roy's voice picked up volume as he yelled. "So why waste time finding a sub? Can she even use that bow?" I sighed as this went on. I never did enjoy the verbal fights between heroes. Never will I suppose. My eyes followed Artemis helplessly as she retorted to Roy's insult. "Yes she can." Wally started to play with my hair as this escalated, ruffling it, attempting to braid it, etc.
Missing out on Robin's tribute to this whole ordeal I watched as Roy began explaining the reason he was here. "Abucted two weeks ago by the League of Shadows." My mood literally went from zero to a ten in seconds by the mention of The Shadows. Afterall weren't they the ones responsible for the Fifth Robin? Wait... Doesn't that make Daimian four right now? Note to self figure the Batboy issue later. I slapped on a hopeful look and walked closer with Robin and Wally. "Woah~ You want us to rescue her from the League of Shadows?" I held up my hands, getting high fives from both Wally and Rob. "I already rescued her." Deadpaned Roy. Boo~ You ruin all my fun. I'm gonna space out now.
~One mental reinactment of the Titanic with all the deleted scenes in superspeed later.~
First words I hear after the fake movie credits are Green Arrow's. "You brought this to the team, it's their mission. Which means it's her's now too." Roy's reply is cold, but I know he's sad and feels like he's been betrayed. When you live with feelings like that for most of your life you start to reconize it in others. "-TT- Then my job's done." As Roy begins to walk away, I intensify my stare. Soon he turns around and finally speaks to me. "Whisper, stop staring." I lift an eyebrow and tilt my head. " The reason I won't text you back is because you overloaded my phone and it crashed." I nodded and he goes back to mopey, walking slowly to the zetabeams. Green Arrow's eyes linger on me for a moment before they return to stalking the figure of Red Arrow's body as he corrects the computer and leaves.
I really do have an affect on people.
