DISCLAIMER: I wonder if someone one day said 'NOPE!' to one of these. That person is not me
The last chapter was short, so I decided to write a new one! Yay!
"Rob!" I screamed as I tried to make my way to him.
But I was too late.
One of the two bombs went off right behind him. He made a small yelp of surprise before a nearby wall collapsed on him.
We were doing a mission. It included something to do with someone trying to buy a new venom that was similar to Kobra Venom. Nobody knew who the buyer was, so we were told to be extra careful. It turned out that they had expected us. They had built two bombs. We only knew about one. Foe a long time, we fought against the Kobras. Eventually, someone flung Robin over to a bunch of boxes.
Then we heard the beeping sound.
Beep... beep..beepbebebebebebeeeeeeep, BOOM!
That's what happened. And right after that one covered Robin, the other one exploded.
By that time, I was franticly trying to uncover Robin. Then a huge amount of red smoke engulfed us. It made me feel dizzy. I fell to the ground, feeling numb. Then, someone came out from behind a small wall. They had a ninja like get out and I assume that it was a boy. He also had a various amount of weaponry on him. He walked over to where Rob was buried, pick up a humongous boulder that would've taken us all, including Conner, to lift and move safely.
One hand still carrying the boulder, he reached into the hole and took out a slightly battered Robin. He flung the boulder to a wall, making it crash to the ground. As he walked away with Robin slung over his back, I used the last of my strength to lift a hand, as though trying to grab an invisible leash that could reel Rob back. My arm stayed like that for a few seconds, then feel limply to the ground.
Then I passed out.
"Wally." I felt my shoulder being shook. "Wally?" I moaned softly. I was tired. Why won't they let me sleep?
"WALLY!" My eyes snapped open to see a very concerned Flash over my head.
"AHHH!" I screamed as his face was inches away from mine. I looked around. J'ohnn was with Miss.M, Superboy stood awkwardly by Superman, Artemis was sitting near Green Arrow and Black Canary. Aqualad was talking to a clearly not amused Batman. Where's Robin?
"Where's Robin?" I asked groggily. Uncle Barry looked a little pale when he asked.
"Well,uh, I hate to tell you this, kid, but Robin's... uh, he's gone missing." Flash said awkwardly.
Robin's gone? I could barley believe what the second speedster was saying.
"HE'S WHAT! I screamed.
BACK AT THE CAVE
"So, there's no trace of him? What's so ever?" Artemis asked, dumbstruck
"Yes, his communicator has been crushed completely, including his tracker, and the one in his belt is going in circles. We can't find him." The Dark Knight said, a little angered at the fact that they had asked the same question about three times now.
"But-" Superboy started.
"His com is down, and so is his tracker. They have to be over a field of navigational disruption for this to happen." Batman growled, getting frustrated at the children that were constantly saying the same thing, over and over again.
I snapped my fingers. "A navigational disruption? The Bermuda Triangle! The wind and water currents that curve in between Florida, Cuba, and Bermuda cause fogs and navigational errors! He might be in there!" I still didn't believe in magic or the myth of the Triangle for that matter. Science is the answer to everything, right?
"Yes, he could be. Sailors say that they see an uncharted island around there. He could be on it." Batman turned to start typing in something on the monitor when an alarm went off on the screen. It showed a bank robbery at the Harbor Bank. That place was really high-tech, right? The only one who could get in was Rob, right? Just as I thought that, sixteen others showed up. Rob may be fast, but he wasn't that fast.
Batman turned around to face us. No. He is not going to send us on a mission right in the middle of-
"This will be your mission. There is a break in at all these banks. Find out what the robbers want, then put a stop to it." He said.
"You are NOT going to send us on a mission at a time like this! You can't!" I screamed.
"I can and I will." The caped crusader retorted. "The League will find out the information and you can retrieve Robin, okay?" He said, looking angry. I decided not to push him any farther, so I nodded and head towards the Bio Ship.
In The Ship
Everyone was quiet most of the way. It had been almost a day since the last mission.
Since Robin went missing.
And they had to focus on a different mission. They were not focused. Not focused at all.
"Kid Flash, you are to run to every bank and report which ones have the most robbers. Do not engage until the team has arrived." Aqualad ordered. Then he turned to M'gann. She nodded and touched her temples.
'Is everyone on?' We all heard heard in our heads. We all said yes.
About three minutes later, I was running to the first bank. I stopped in front of it. I peeked in. And the robber was...
Nowhere.
All that was there was a slumbering security guard.
Hey guys, there's no one there at the first bank' I could feel their confusion.
This repeated for the next fourteen times.
'I'm really starting to think this was a prank' I said as I rounded the last corner.
'Never mind. Come to the Harbor Bank. Now.'
The glass door was shattered and there was a security guard lying on the ground. I ran up and checked his pulse. He was alive.
"ARGHHH! QUIT IT!" A voice yelled from the room that was supposedly 'very protected'. I ran in time to see a guy in a black hoodie cloak, black fingerless gloves, and a big metal staff hit a sphere across the room with his staff. He was bent over, obviously slightly beaten from the mysterious sphere that was laying on the ground. He straightened his back and walked up to the sphere. I sprinted across the room and picked it up. He was surprised. I was too. Even though I could only see his nose down, he was obviously young.
"What's this for? Do you wanna play kickball with it or something?" I sneered. My face turned into a small scowl for a second. "Let's get this over with. We have a team complication to solve. Your just a little hold back." I really wanted to get back to the Robin incident. He muttered something that I couldn't hear.
Apparently, Supey did.
"Sure, but what would we bet on?" He said, arms folded. The whole team was there.
The kid stopped for a second, then grabbed his head for a second, looking like he was in pain and angry. He stopped for a second, sighed, then charged into the team.
'It appears that he is having a conversation with someone telepathically. Miss. Martian, try to get in. Megan tried for a second, but then sighed.
'I can't. He's defiantly human though. I feel emotions coming off him. He's angry, confused, and sad. But no thoughts of money.
Artemis was shooting away at him. Eventually, he fell with a grunt.
"Artemis!We don't want to injure him. Just take him down." Aqualad said calmly.
"It's not my fault! He ran into It!" She yelled back.
I ran over to him to help treat his wound. Blood drained from my face when I saw it.
It pierced through his arm.
"It went all the way through his arm!" I yelled at her. They all looked at his wound. Her face was pale.
"I-I didn't mean to-" She was stopped when I felt something make contact with my face. When I hit the ground, I saw him leaning on a wall, the arrow gripped in his hand.
"Don't do that!" Artemis yelled. That might leave the wound broken beyond repair. He ignored her, then broke it in two. He individually pulled them out, blood following. He went back into fighting position.
'He needs to be stopped, can I try getting in again?' We heard say in our heads.
'Try once more.' Aqualad said. She did. The boy's body relaxed. Then we say a variety of memories.
A broken rope.
People falling.
Fear.
Blood.
So much blood.
We all stopped. I looked at the boy. He was shaking violently. The view had been from his point of sight. It was in a circus, so it must have been his family. This is probably why he's here.
His family was dead.
While we were in shock, he ran up to me and snatched the sphere out of my hands.
"Hey!" I screamed as reached out at him. He turned and dodged the attack and jumped onto my shoulders and used as a spring board. I caught his foot and threw him to the ground. He hit the ground with a grunt, but held onto the sphere.
"Who are you?" I demanded.
"Nightbird." He said. That made sense, because he had a blue bird imprinted on his chest. He swung his hands to his head and clenched his teeth together.
"Are you okay? Just let us help you!" I shouted as I reached for the kid, but instead ended grabbing my neck in pain. It felt like nine-thousand volts was entering my body. I screamed.
"Kid Flash!" The team shouted as they fell to their knees. They felt it, too.
"NO!" Nightbird shouted and he shoved his hand to his head. His shoulders slumped and he gripped his staff tighter.
"Sorry KF." I thought he said. He raised his staff. The shocks stopped. But the pain came back as he swung the bow down hard on my shoulder.
I blacked out.
What does thou think? Is it good? Hmm? And just so you know, there was a chapter behind this one.
