Sorry I didn't upload earlier. I think I will upload on Fridays and Mondays (but no promises). School starts for me on the 16th(I think). Have you been watching the Olympics? Oh. My. Goodness! Awesome:) Enjoy!
Oh my gosh. Was all Robin could think of as he searched the surface of the water near him. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Nightwing is going to kill me! He said no unnecessary risks. Should I have just left her there? No, I couldn't have done that. I would have just gotten in more trouble. He swam around the surface of the water with his Rebreather. If Nightwing would kill me, then Batman would triple kill me! Not to mention everyone on the team or in the league! Even the girl's parents! Oh what have I done! Nerves swam in Robin's head.
No. He thought. We will find her. He continued searching.
...
Below Robin, in the deeper parts of the ocean, swam La'gaan. He was quietly searching the lower levels of the icy cold water.
"No human could survive down here." he said aloud, bubbles streamed from his lips. He swam over to a school of Arctic Cod. La'gaan asked if any of them had seen a girl that might have drown. They said no and he swam on. He didn't see any trace of the girl.
Up in the air, Blue Beetle was searching the surface of the water. The sun still had not risen and would not rise for a few more hours. If they didn't find the girl before sunrise, she would surely be dead from the extreme cold, or due to drowning. Beetle was switching between heat vision, and night vision settings while searching the ocean.
...
"Any sign of her from up there?" Robin asked. He had surface to take a short look above water.
"Negative." Beetle replied. "What about down deeper?" he asked La'gaan.
"Nothing." he replied though his comms. "How much longer are we going to look?"
"I really doubt she would have-" Beetle started.
"Would have what?" Robin asked. Was his comms not working or something?
"There is an object 30.3 yards away from our current location with a heat signature of 94.8. Not the ideal human temperature but close enough to it that -" Beetle's armor said to him.
"It could be her!" Beetle interrupted. He still had his comms on so when Robin and Lagoon boy heard, they were utterly confused.
"What are you talking about?" Robin said. He was getting jittery. La'gaan surfaced next to him.
"Neptune's beard, he's going crazy!" La'gaan said.
"Am not!" Beetle replied. "I was going to tell you I found the girl, but now I won't!" he crossed his arms. "Ohhhh!" he yelled.
"Where did you see her? Why are you here and not out getting her!" Robin asked. Blue Beetle took off into the air mumbling. Robin and Lagoon Boy swam closely behind.
...
When they finally reached the location that Beetle's armor had told him, Robin flicked on his waterproof flashlight. They found the girl, clinging to a small growler iceberg. Her eyes were clenched tight and her lips were blue. Her fingers were also turning blue as they held on for dear life to the growler. Her skin was so pale. She was also shaking uncontrollably.
All the right signs for hypothermia. Robin thought to himself as he swam closer. Robin was becoming more, and more grateful for his new arctic stealth diving suit. Without it, he probably would have turned into a popsicle just like the girl.
"We need to get her out of the water." Robin said. They had finally arrived at the growler. He swam up to the girl and slowly tried to pry her fingers off the iceberg while treading water. He was having a difficult time though. La'gaan came up and helped remove her frozen fingers from the growler.
"Take her. She needs to be taken to the transport as fast as possible." La'gaan said to Blue Beetle. Lagoon Boy and Robin lifted the girl up so Beetle could fly her to the warmth and safety of the transport.
"On it." Beetle said. He flew up into the air and out of sight of his other two team members.
...
Beetle was coming up on the transport when the girl awoke. She looked up at him with surprise in her eyes. The girl opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. Her body was too cold. She tried to struggle, but again she was just too cold.
"Calm down. Calm down." he tried to sooth her, but it had no effect. "We're almost there." He came up to the transport doors and flew though them.
The transport wasn't small, but it wasn't big either. It was large enough to hold all the captives in one part of the transport, and still had enough room for the squad to be seated comfortably in the bridge. Beetle had flown straight though all the automatic doors to the bridge. The transport was voice activated.
"Transport, open side cot." he said, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible. The transport obeyed and a cot slid out from the wall. "Transport," he said again. "Fly to Robin and Lagoon Boy's coordinates." he felt the engines start to hum under his feet and knew they were on their way.
Now that the task of picking up his other team members was accomplished, Beetle turned his attention back to the girl. He started to panic. He knew nothing about how to treat hypothermia!
"To treat mild cases of hypothermia, the person effected must be moved to a warm, dry area and they must have new, warm, dry clothes on." the armor told Beetle.
"I can do the warm environment, but NOT the new clothes." he stated out loud to the armor.
"I know, we don't have anything on board that we could give her but some warm towels and blankets." Robin said. He and La'gaan had boarded the ship and were now in the bridge. Robin went over to transport's computer and set a course for Mount Justice. La'gaan had found some spare towels and blankets and laid them over the girl, who was still shivering.
"We must get back as soon as possible, but we also have to drop off the hostages." La'gaan said. He took a seat in one of the chairs.
"We can just send the detachment part of the transport off to a safe location where the hostages can get help and get back home." Beetle said.
"Good idea." Robin said. He took the seat nearest the shivering girl. "But you have to be the one to go tell them that." Blue Beetle sighed and trudged out the doors to go tell the now free hostages.
The bridge became quiet. La'gaan had settled in for a nap. Which left Robin looking at the girl. He tucked the blankets tighter around her. She shivered less. We will find out what happened to you. He promised.
I need suggestions on what I should do next! Arg! And also, REVIEW and TELL ME WHAT FOREIGN COUNTRY I SHOULD PUT IN THE UP COMING CHAPTERS! Thanks! ~
