The Medical Bay
Nightwing slowly opened her eyes. She blinked once, twice and her eyes focused on a face above her. He looked familiar she thought, was she going to be tortured again? She wasn't in any pain but that was usual for her. But no, she felt around, she was lying on something soft and she was warm. I must be dead she thought to herself looking around.
She was confused. After being locked in a sensory deprivation chamber for over two weeks, all the sounds and lights were hurting her head. She groaned and buried her head in her hands. "Hey, hey, you're alright" a voice came to her and suddenly she felt arms around her drawing her close. She didn't know who it was, whether they were good or bad, right now she felt safe. She buried her head in the shoulder of the person holding her, shutting her eyes against the light. A hand started stroking her hair comfortingly. Her wings felt weird, she tried to move them but couldn't.
"Don't try and move them, they were pretty torn up" the voice whispered into her ear. "Who are you?" Nightwing queried not looking up. "It's me" the voice said Nightwing looked up into a pair of magenta eyes, shielding her eyes with her hand she took in the green skin, blond haired teenage boy. A smile split her face as she threw her arms around his neck. "Brainy!" she cried "you're back! And you saved me!"
"Brainy" grimaced "you were in bad shape" he said solemnly. Nightwing shuddered at the memory and he stroked her hair. "Where am I?" she queried looking around for the first time since she'd woken up. "You're in the medical bay of Legion HQ" he said with a rueful smile. "The others should be here soon; I notified them of your awakening" Nightwing smiled up at him and put her head on his shoulder "I'm so glad you're back, Brainy" then she turned to him accusingly "but you should never have left" her tone changed. He looked at her, eyes filled with regret "I didn't have a choice" he said sadly. Nightwing quickly took back her words when she saw the pain she had caused him.
