"Crystal, please," Barry said, walking up to her with his arms out in peace. "We won't take her away. And we won't hurt her. We just need to make sure she won't hurt anyone else."
Sierra grabbed Crystal's arm, looking at her desperately with pleading eyes. Crystal shook her head and balled her fists, not wanting to take the chance.
Wally walked forward and stepped in front of the League, looking at Crystal for what they should do instead. "Crystal,"
She gritted her teeth, pleading with her eyes towards Wally not to let them take her sister from her. "I can't Wally."
"We're your friends here," He reasoned, grabbing her wrists gently and putting them down. "Trust us,"
Crystal furrowed her brows as she looked at the Young Justice standing behind everyone in confusion. She slowly relaxed her arms and stance, grabbing Wally's hand desperately, and then grabbing her sisters hand.
"I'm not leaving her side," Crystal told them, keeping her pointed stare on the Justice League.
"But," Barry said, stepping forward, but stopped as Crystal held up her hand to shut them all up.
"But, I'll let you see for yourself she's not here to hurt anyone….as long as I'm by her side." Crystal told them, seeing the air relax around them instantly.
Crystal kept her hand in Sierra's as the League ushered them out of the room, leaving the rest of the room in silence and in wonder about the two girls.
"I'm sure nothing is wrong," Kaldur said, watching the doorway they just left from.
Wally hooked his thumb in his pocket, rubbed his neck, and let out a long sigh at the worry he obviously felt. The party went back to how it was, but the tension never completely left the air after all that. Wally couldn't wait to get back with Crystal and see if everything went alright.
Wally went back to the cave with the Young Justice, all of them agreeing that they would wait for Crystal to get back. But when they walked into the livingroom of the cave Crystal was sitting there, looking down at her lap.
"You okay?" Robin asked, peeking around her cautiously.
Crystal held a finger to her mouth, shushing him as they noticed Sierra was lying on her lap and she was petting her hair gently to calm her down.
"Did they decide about her?" Kaldur asked, looking at Sierra closely.
"They said that she doesn't seem like a threat, but they'll keep an eye on her still," Crystal said, looking at her sister sadly.
"You don't seem too happy about that," Roy said with a chuckle.
Crystal looked up at him with a glare, but her eyes were still sad. "Because I know how that feels. People saying that you're okay, but in reality still find you dangerous and too much of a threat."
Roy held up his hands, realizing he pushed his luck too far. "Sorry, I didn't mean to cross the line."
"What are you going to do?" Megan asked with a sensitive look in her eyes.
"She has to stay here in the cave," Crystal said with a sigh. She turned her attention to Kaldur and put on pleading eyes to him. "Can you watch over her please?"
"I can do that," Kaldur said, nodding to her in agreement.
"Thank you," She said with relief.
"Let me take her," Kaldur said, walking around the couch and holding out his arms.
Crystal sighed as she lifted her arm off of her sister and watched as Kaldur leaned down and slid his arms underneath her shoulders and knees. He lifted her up and let her head drop onto his shoulder before he walked towards the rooms, picking the one that was vacant and setting her inside gently.
"She is still fast asleep," Kaldur said as he walked back out into the livingroom.
"Thank you again," Crystal said standing up and giving him a smile.
"I'll make sure to make her feel welcome," Megan said reassuringly.
"At least you made an interesting scene at the ball," Artemis joked. "It wasn't boring,"
Crystal let out a short laugh, realizing how dramatic the scene probably was. "That's for sure. I didn't expect any of that either,"
"So," Robin said, sitting down on the seat across from her. "How's your sister alive?"
"Oi, don't you think that's too much?" Wally scolded, sitting next to Crystal and letting her lean on his shoulder.
"What? We're all curious." Robin said with a shrug as he leaned back in the chair.
"Honestly, I don't know myself," Crystal said with a shrug. "They asked her, but all she said was that she was in the light."
"What does that mean?" Artemis asked with a raised eyebrow and a scoff.
"I don't know, I was going to ask her tomorrow when she isn't so freaked out." Crystal said curling her legs up next to her and lying down in Wally's lap. "I want to know just as badly as you guys."
Roy quirked an eyebrow at her exposed legs that were in plain sight for him standing behind the couch; a smirk appearing on his face as he moved up her body. Artemis smacked him over the head, making him shout in pain and cover his head from the next hit.
"Stop being a pervert at a time like this!" Artemis shouted at him, crossing her arms and giving a huff.
"I can't help it if she's showing that much skin!" Roy said, opening his hands and pointing them at Crystal.
Crystal's legs, shoulders, arms, and her whole back were bare and showing to Roy as she lay there still in her ball dress. Crystal glanced at him leisurely before grabbing the couch pillow and throwing it at him, hitting him square in the face.
"Artemis, hit him a couple more times," Crystal said, rolling back over and curling up more next to Wally.
"My pleasure," Artemis said, cracking her knuckles and attack Roy.
Roy blocked every punch, kick, sweep, and attack she threw at him. Artemis became more and more annoyed at the loss of attacks and hits, feeling as if Roy was stronger than her in fighting. Finally she kicked out at him, and when he caught her foot she pushed further, catching him off balance and causing him to fall.
"Yes! Oh!" She shouted victoriously, then realized his momentum was carrying her with him towards the ground.
She moved her leg out of his reach quickly, but wasn't fast enough to catch her balance once again, and ended up landing on top of Roy, with her hands on his chest, and her legs straddling his own. Artemis sat up and froze, seeing the position she was in now as she sat on his waist.
"Well, I guess I don't have to try anymore," Crystal said, peeking over the couch at them, making the others look on in curiosity.
Artemis' face burned greatly as she jumped off of Roy and turned her back on him, acting like nothing happened. Crystal smiled at her as she laid her head on top of the couch, her eyes growing heavy as she tried to blink the sleep from them.
"I think it's time we go." Wally told them, waving a small goodbye.
He touched Crystal's waist before tugging on it to pull her up off the couch. She groaned as she slipped her feet off the couch and let them hit the hard floor. Wally looked at her with a small laugh, walking back over to the couch and crouching down in front of her as he held his arms out behind him and ushered her onto his back. She let out a relieved breath as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and her legs around his waist, gripping him tightly so she didn't fall.
"We'll see you tomorrow," Robin said, giving a small wave back as he watched Crystal's head fall heavily on Wally's shoulder.
Wally raced home quickly with Crystal on his back, not bothering with the car the league set up for them. By the time he reached his house Crystal was fast asleep on his back and finally seemed calm after the whole event at the ball.
He gulped as he set her on the bed, looking at her as the dress hiked up her leg, and her top seemed to dip down more so than before. He pushed her hair out of her face, making her grumble and turn on her side. His heart beat like a hummingbird's wings as he looked at the skin being shown by her back, side, neck, shoulders, and waist.
"Roy wasn't kidding," He whispered to himself as he smacked his forehead and looked away from her quickly.
He shook his head and threw the covers over her, trying to get his feelings under control before they got too out of hand. He slipped his jacket and shoes off, before his shirt and pants came off as well, leaving him in his boxers before he climbed into the bed next to her. Seconds after he closed his eyes his mother was barging through his door.
"Wake up! You're Uncle Barry wants to talk with you!" His mother told them quickly, flipping the covers off of them.
Wally looked at his clock and groaned loudly; what seemed like seconds ago was actually seven hours. All his mind could think of was what he would do to Crystal, and he had to shut those out to make sure he didn't do anything to her while she slept.
"Crystal!" A voice shouted suddenly before jumping on the bed between him and Crystal.
"What the hell?" He asked, turning over and looking at Crystal who lay there glaring at him with her cheeks puffed out. He narrowed his eyes in confusion as he looked at Crystal. "Since when did you have short hair?" He asked out loud, before realizing that it wasn't Crystal.
He shouted as he sat up quickly and fell off the bed backwards. Crystal sat up quickly at the noise and looked over the edge at Wally, raising an eyebrow and opening her mouth. She shut it quickly as a heavy weight pushed on her back and wrapped around her neck loosely.
"I missed you so much!" Sierra said behind Crystal, making her sister sigh in irritation.
"You shouldn't just jump into a person's bed," Crystal told her sister.
Sierra let Crystal go with a pout, looking at her sister as if she just told her she couldn't have a cookie until she ate her vegetables. "But you're in his bed."
Crystal froze and looked down at Wally, seeing him finally recovering and getting up while he threw on some clothes to be decent once again. She rubbed the back of her head, lifting up her shoulders casually as she searched for an answer to give.
"Yeah, well, that's different." She said simply. "Me and Wally, well, you see…..we are…." She stopped as her sister's eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
"You two are married?" She shouted exasperatingly.
Everyone nearly fell over in the room….well…all except Wally's mom who was beaming with joy at the prospect of her son and Crystal getting married.
"No!" Crystal said with cheeks red as a tomato. "We're just dating!"
"Oh~" Sierra said with a giggle and a smile. "That makes more sense."
"There she is!" Barry said, running into the doorway. "I told you Sierra, you had to wait for her to come out!" he looked at Crystal and let out a huff. "I guess I had nothing to worry about. You haven't even changed from last night."
Crystal looked down at herself and gave a small shy laugh, realizing she didn't even change before falling asleep. "Let me change then!"
She pushed everyone out of the room, even Sierra, leaving her and Wally in there alone. "That was an odd morning," She said with a sigh.
"I thought she was you," He groaned, looking at her from the corner of his eye.
"Don't tell me you did something to her," Crystal gasped, looking at him with wide eyes.
"No! No, no, no, no, no, no," He said, waving his hands in front of him and shook his head quickly. "I was just wondering why you were glaring daggers into my head."
Crystal burst out laughing as she walked around him and went to the closet, searching for any of her normal clothing in there. "Untie me please,"
She lifted up her hair and waited for him to untie the strings around her neck, using her other hand to grab the clothes out of the closet. She stopped and looked behind her, finding the room empty and the door closing quickly.
"Wally?" she asked, confused and worried.
She tried to get the strings out of the knot they were in, but ended up sliding it over her head and letting the dress drop to the ground, looking at it with furrowed brows. She didn't know why Wally left suddenly, and why he didn't help her. She changed her clothes with a sigh, changing into short, a tank-top, tennis shoes, and another tanktop over the first.
"So, what are you doing here?" Crystal asked, putting her hair up into a ponytail, and then fixing her sisters.
"Batman wants to have a word with you, and he wants to send you on a mission." Barry said as he sipped at his coffee.
"When do I have to go?" Crystal asked, popping a piece of bacon in her mouth and looking at Wally with a questioning look; which he ignored and looked away from.
"Now," Bruce said, suddenly behind her, making her jump in fear.
"Don't do that!" She yelled at him, placing her hand over her heart.
He turned his attention to Wally's parents. "If you'll let me take her now,"
"Go ahead," His mother said with wide eyes, obviously not realizing he was there either.
Crystal looked at Wally, but sighed in defeat as he continued to look away quickly. She followed after Batman and let him take her to the space headquarters.
"You know it gives her the wrong impression when you ignore her like that." Sierra told him as she popped another bacon in her mouth.
"Did you two get into another fight?" His mom asked worriedly, hoping that it wasn't the case.
Wally opened his mouth to explain, but when he tried to find the words, nothing would come out to help him; how was he going to explain why he was doing it. Heck, he didn't even know why he was ignoring her.
"I'll talk with him," Barry said, nodding his head to the door, making Wally give a thankful smile to his Uncle.
Wally made himself a quick sandwich out of the bacon, eggs, gravy, and biscuits his mom made and munched on it as him, Barry, and Sierra walked back towards the cave.
"So, you want to explain?" Barry asked as Sierra ran ahead to catch the stray cat running across the street.
Wally looked at his Uncle and slumped when he realized he wasn't going to let it go easily. He finished his sandwich and stood straight up, hoping his reasoning didn't sound ridiculous.
"I don't want to make the wrong move." Wally said embarrassed, watching how similar Sierra was to Crystal. "I feel if I take it too fast, she'll leave."
"So, I'm guessing you two haven't done it yet," Barry said with a chuckle, looking at Wally with an amused look.
Wally almost tripped as he stared at Barry in disbelief that he said something like that. "Not yet," He said, passing it off coolly.
Barry looked up at the sky, trying to think of the advice to give the growing teenager at a time like this. "Well, I think when the moment comes, both of you will know." He said with a rub of his neck. "You're relationship has always been close, and you being just friends helped you keep your emotions in check along with the….needs…" He said, coughing into his hand before the last word. "But now that you two are actually in a dating relationship, your needs feel as if they don't have to be controlled anymore. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wally scratched his head with both hands furiously, stopping as they reached the entrance to the cave. "Why does it have to be so difficult?" He asked irritated.
"Just do it with her," Sierra said, popping up behind him. "I'm sure she feels the same. I mean come on, she sleeps in the same bed as you."
"It's not as simple as that!" He argued with her, throwing his hands up.
"Are you so sure about that?" Sierra asked, raising an eyebrow and smiling.
She went into the cave, leaving Wally there to think as he realized that was she said just may be the truth. He shook his head, pushing it back to think about it later. He walked into the cave and saw everyone crowding around the big screen showing Crystal and Batman talking.
"Should you guys be watching this?" Barry asked, looking at Young Justice with an accusing look.
"Aw, come on, we just want to know what they're talking about." Robin said with a whine.
Crystal looked at them from the screen, making Robin jump in surprise. "You shouldn't eavesdrop," She said playfully, hitting the button to shut it down.
"But how did she know?" Robin asked, trying to hack back in.
Suddenly Crystal appeared behind him, looking over his shoulder. "Because that is just a rerun we put on to trick you,"
Robin jumped out of his skin, and the others all got into stances ready to fight as they stared at Crystal in shock and fear. Crystal stood there with a proud smirk on her face, and her hands on her hips. She turned her attention to her sister who stood there smiling like an idiot as she laughed quietly to herself.
"Sierra," Crystal said, making her sister stop and act innocent. "I need to see what happened."
Sierra froze, shaking her head and backing away with her hands in front of her chest like a small child would when they were scared. Crystal stopped and held up her hands, giving Sierra a warm smile and a reassuring nod.
"I just want to see. We need to know okay? It'll help prove you're on our side." Crystal reassured, trying to get her sister to agree.
Sierra hesitated for a moment before reaching her hands out and linking her fingers through Crystal's, so their hands were in front of them and linked together. They leaned forward and put their foreheads on one another's giving Crystal full access to her sister's mind. A light shone suddenly from the two where they connected, and it expanded until it surrounded everyone and filled the room in pure white.
"Where are we?" Artemis asked, putting her hand down that was shielding her eyes.
"In her memories," Crystal said, yet it wasn't from her mouth, it was out loud so everyone could hear, but it was as if she thought it.
Crystal let go of Sierra and looked at them carefully, this time opening her mouth to speak. "At no point must you interrupt. Okay? I'm allowing you to see into her memories too, but if you interrupt it could break the whole connection between our minds."
Everyone nodded their heads seriously, keeping their mouths clamped shut as they watched the two sisters float slightly in the air. Crystal nodded her head, then closed her eyes with Sierra making the light shine bright once again in the vacant room.
"Crystal! Wait!" A small child said with boy short blonde hair, and dark blue eyes. "We can't get our dresses dirty!"
"Sierra! Hurry up!" Another young girl said who looked much like the first, but with shoulder length golden hair and light blue eyes. "We have to hurry to the house!"
The two young girl's clasped hands and ran towards a large house off in the distance. They run as fast as they can, keeping their short white summer dresses from the grounds reach.
"Momma!" Crystal shouted, stopping in front of an elegant woman with long bleach blonde hair and pale blue eyes.
"Did you two have fun?" She asked them with a tender smile.
"Mm!" Sierra and Crystal said together.
"Gotcha!"
The two twins squealed in delight as a teenager picked them up in his arms and threw them up before catching them once again. He had dark blonde hair and dark blue eyes, was tall, yet also muscular.
"Tyler!" Crystal shouted, hugging the teenager around his neck. "Big brother! Are you ready for the vacation?"
"Sure am!" He said, with a smile. "What about you Seth?" He turned to look at a preteen with golden blonde hair and dark blue eyes.
"Sure," He said, shrugging his shoulders indifferently.
Crystal jumped out of Tyler's arms, and ran over to her mother once again, pulling on her dress until she crouched down.
"Do you think Michael is excited?" She asked, pulling on the bundle of cloth in her mother's arms to show a little baby boy with pale blonde hair and light blue eyes.
"I'm sure he is," She answered with a small laugh.
Thunder sounded above, making Crystal and Sierra jump and grab onto Tyler once again. Clouds rolled in quickly, covering the sky in darkness in less than a minute.
"It wasn't supposed to rain!" Sierra whined, puffing her cheeks out.
Sierra looked at her mother and froze, her heart freezing in place. Her mother's eyes were wide with horror and her body was shaking as she looked at the sky.
"Tyler! Get everyone out of here! Ru-" She was cut off suddenly as a sword plunged through her chest, slicing her heart and piercing Michael as well.
Crystal's eyes widened in horror as she gripped Tyler in a death grip, and Sierra started screaming as her mother dropped to the floor dead with Michael and a dark figure stood behind them with the bloodied sword. The shadowed figure smiled bright white teeth into a wicked, evil grin. The shadows dispersed on him showing dark blonde hair and red eyes watching the children carefully.
"Run!" Tyler shouted, picking Crystal up once again and running. "Seth! Run!" He shouted, looking back behind him and stopping, seeing Seth standing there frozen in place.
"Come to me," The shadowed figure said, curling his fingers towards himself.
Seth took a step towards him, his eyes fading to a dull blue as he watched the figure pulsate with darkness.
"Father," Seth said, realizing this was their father, Nightmare.
"NO!" Crystal screamed, sending a force of power towards the two and flinging Nightmare away from her brother.
Nightmare grimaced in anger as he leveled his red eyes at her, then smiled in glee at his daughters great power. "Perfect," He said, taking a step towards her. "Let's turn you to my side,"
He disappeared suddenly and reappeared behind Seth, slicing his sword across his throat, and letting his body drop to the ground lifelessly.
Young Justice couldn't believe what was happening. This wasn't some nightmare that anyone would wake up from, this was real, this was what happened in the past; this is their past, what they saw, felt, heard, and would never forget.
Wally glanced at Crystal and saw how she desperately gripped her sisters hand, both of them shaking as they watched their worst memory be carried out once again. He wanted to be over there holding her and comforting her, but he knew that he couldn't distract her from concentrating. When he looked at the rest of the team, he saw them all covering their mouths or reeling from the scene they were watching.
He turned back to the memories, determined to understand Crystal's past before she met him. If it would bring him one step closer to understanding her and helping her when he couldn't before, then he'd watch this and deal with it as strong as he could.
Tyler turned on his heels, tucking Crystal and Sierra under his arms in safety as he ran as fast as he could away from Nightmare. He had determination in his eyes as he ran; he wasn't going to let Nightmare hurt his sisters, and he definitely wasn't going to let him take Crystal and make her like him.
"TYLER!" Sierra screamed as she looked over her brother's shoulder.
Tyler risked a look behind him and knew he shouldn't have. Nightmare was right behind them instantly, sword in his hand as he raised it up above his head. Tyler threw Sierra and Crystal away from him, letting them hit the ground and roll away from the two. Tyler brought his hand up and shoved it into Nightmares face, his power of wind exploding and pushing Nightmare a couple steps back.
Nightmare glared at Tyler as he stood his ground in front of his sisters, protecting them with his strength and power. Tyler ducked and pushed every time Nightmare swung his sword at him, trying to push Nightmare as far away as he could from Sierra and Crystal.
"Run!" Tyler shouted at them once he pushed Nightmare back with the wind again.
Crystal snapped out of it faster than Sierra did. She stood up and grabbed Sierra's hand, tugging her to her feet and then into a run.
"Hurry!" Crystal shouted, her voice cracking.
Her feet were being cut by rocks and twigs, and branches swiped and smacked her as she ran by, moving with her as she ran through the woods. Crystal saw a tree with a small hole at the bottom and veered towards it in hopes of a hiding place.
They crawled underneath it quickly, huddling together for warmth and comfort as their bodies shook in fear and their breathing was so fast it was hardly even getting air in. They sat there for hours it seemed, but in reality it was only a couple of minutes.
Suddenly a figure slammed it's hands into the tree as a face appeared outside the hole, making Crystal and Sierra scream bloody murder.
"It's me! It's me!" Tyler shouted, making the girls stop screaming and look at their brother in thankfulness.
They rushed out and hugged their brother, pulling him close as they cried into his shoulder.
"I'm going to get you out of here," He said, picking them up and running once again.
He ran as fast as his legs would let him with two small children, and even as they grew tired, he still pushed them to go farther. His body convulsed forward, his back arching as his head was thrown back and a gasp escaped his mouth. He took slow steps until he could no longer walk; his legs giving out beneath him as he fell to his knees.
Crystal and Sierra's feet hit the floor as they stared at him in confusion, watching as he looked forward back at them and smiled. Blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth, making Sierra back up slowly in fear and Crystal to watch with faded eyes, as if she were no longer really there.
"You can't let him take you," Tyler told Crystal, looking her in the eye. "Crystal, listen to me," He said, cupping her cheek and making her look at him and listen. "Promise me you'll never blame yourself for any of this. Live your life to the best you can. And you must always smile. Don't let anyone take that away."
Tyler coughed once, spitting blood onto the floor before he fell forward and onto his face and stomach, showing the dark arrows protruding from his back as they slowly disintegrated from the air.
"Found you," A dark voice growled, as shadows appeared in front of Crystal and looked down at her, forming to create Nightmare. "Come with me child,"
"No!" Sierra shouted, throwing a blast of energy at him feebly.
It bounced right off of him as if it was a fly hitting him. He turned his attention to Sierra, glaring at her as if she was a nuisance and a mistake.
"Stupid, weak child." He said, raising his hand and pointing it at Sierra.
Crystal looked at Nightmare, and followed his arm down to his hand, and looked at where it was pointing slowly, taking it all in. Her eyes widened in horror as she grabbed Nightmare's hand quickly, and pointed her other one at Sierra.
"Don't touch her!" Crystal shouted, shooting her power at the same time Nightmare did.
A bright mass of light and dark swirled together around Sierra, swirling energy, dirt, branches, rocks, and leaves. Finally it dispersed all at once, blowing apart quickly and leaving nothing in it's place. Sierra was completely gone; not even a trace of her left.
Another flash erupted into the room, sending them into a different scene. It was as if they were looking through someone's eyes. They could still see Nightmare and Crystal; they were seeing through Sierra's eyes.
"SIERRA!" Crystal screamed, racing to where her sister was and digging at the ground desperately. "NO!"
Crystal, it's okay, I'm right here. Sierra said, but Crystal couldn't hear her.
Crystal turned her glare on Nightmare as she stood, tears streaming down her face as her eyes turned to blood red; the same as Nightmare's eyes.
Crystal! Don't do it! Sierra shouted, trying to move her body, but found that she couldn't move at all.
Crystal turned her body towards Nightmare and looked at him with a psychotic look, her eyes dull and lifeless, yet red and blood thirsty. Her pupils were slits and the tears running down her face cut into the dirt and grime, leaving trails where the water flowed.
Crystal! Please! Don't! Sierra screamed, trying to get towards her sister and stop her.
Crystal narrowed her eyes at Nightmare, releasing a great amount of energy from her body, and letting it slam into Nightmare. Nightmare was sent flying away shouting as the power burst over him dispelling the shadows and injuring him.
"You'll pay for this girl!" He shouted at her, before disappearing into thin air.
Crystal stood her ground with the angry glare for a couple more minutes before she relaxed, her eyes draining to the light blue once again.
Crystal,
Thetears flowed even more now as Crystalslid to the floor with her legs on either side of her. "Sierra, please, come back. Please, don't leave me. I don't want to be alone,"
You're not alone, I'm here.
Sierra could feel herself fading as she watched Crystal cry and scream into the air, her pain and sorrows flying out of her. Light began to form on the edges of her vision, slowly creeping closer to itself in a circle until she was completely surrounded by light.
I'll be back Crystal, I promise. I won't let you be alone.
Sierra faded completely in the light, letting it swallow her up and envelope her in a warm sleep. The memories jumped to win the light opened up and Sierra slipped out of the cocoon, landing on her feet unstably. She looked down at herself and found her body no long that of a child, but now a teenager.
I'm coming.
Light shined in the room once again, transporting them back to the main room of the cave with everyone standing there once again.
"Crystal!" Sierra gasped, looking down at Crystal with worried eyes.
Crystal let go of Sierra and slid to the floor with her legs on either side of her, tears sliding down her cheeks and her hands gripping her head as her fingers curled in her hair. Her body was shaking as her eyes were wide with fear and her eyes were trying to grow dull once again. It was her bodies automatic reaction for fear.
"Crystal!" Sierra said, bending down and grabbing her by the shoulders. "You need to calm down! If you let the fear take you over your power will take over!"
Wally raced over to her quickly, crouching in front of her as he tried to get her to look at him. He cupped her face and lifted it up so she was looking him in the eyes. "Hey, look, you're safe. I'm right here." He said trying to calm her down.
Crystal's eyes focused again, looking at Wally carefully before she lowered her hands and stared at his face. She leaned forward, placing her forehead on his shoulder and wrapping her arms around his back. He pulled her close as he fell back on his butt, letting her lie between his legs as her body continued to shake. Her shaking eased down, as she looked at her sister carefully.
"So it's really you," Crystal said carefully.
Sierra's eyes faded quickly, her body slumping backwards as she stared blankly at Crystal. Her voice sounded possessed as she spoke to Crystal, as if she were in a trance. "He's coming for you. Before your eighteenth birthday he will come for you and make you the darkness. You will be the destroyer of the world. Prepare for him. Become stronger. Fight him. Don't let him win. He's coming to test you. Protect those around you. You will be sent on a mission and he will be there waiting."
Crystal stared at her in horror as her sister came back to her senses, blinking until her eyes were back to the dark blue with a spark of light.
"Crystal, I have you're mission ready," Canary said suddenly coming into the cave and looking around at everyone as they stared in shock at the announcement.
"I'm going with her," Wally said stubbornly, giving Canary a pointed look that told her this wasn't a decision she could change.
"Let him," Barry said, nodding to Canary. "I'll explain later. We need to prepare."
