I Own Nothing.
Wally zeta beamed into the Cave, thankfully everyone was there
"Guys! I really need your help!"
That got their attention, Superboy asked
"That's the problem?"
"Okay, the Talon dudes that attacked a while back, well they're back, and one caught Nightwing"
Several disbelieving stares and a few gasps came out, obviously Nightwing seemed unbreakable to them, they must have forgotten that he's human.
"Yeah, so Robin has a lock on their base, he's already there with Impulse and Red Arrow. We've gotta get there pronto."
No-one moved, just too shocked by the abruptness of Wally's warning, Batgirl stood up
"Let's go!"
Then she stormed out to the hanger, Wally zipped around and came back wearing his Kid Flash suit, the rest of the Team followed hurridly, Garfield flew above them.
Dick woke up with a gasp, then stared at the… whatever was above him, it could have been the floor for all he knew, he looked around the cramped space, no gloves, no belt, no eskrima sticks, ummm, he had no idea what to do next.
He let his head fall back and tried to clear his head a little, box around the size of a person, obviously it was made of marble, heavy stone lid judging by the seam around the top, air getting stuffy. He got a conclusion that he was buried alive in a coffin.
Nightwing closed his eyes and steadied his breathing, trying to use the least amount of oxygen possible, he held his breath and drew his knee as best as he could, he started pushing against the lid, he startewd using his hands, he stopped to breathe once then continued pushing.
Sweat started breaking out over his forehead, holy carp Batman this was heavy. He thought of the first time he was buried alive, surprisingly he was buried alive an awful lot.
First time; Batman saved him
Second time: Batman
Third time: Commish found him
Fourth time: Ace the Bat-hound dug him out (That's embarrassing)
Fifth time: Red Hood used a pitchfork to get him out
Sixth time: He dug himself out using a knife
Dick pushed against the sides and the floor, solid marble, no seams except for the immovable lid. He continued remembering how he got out.
Seventh time: Batgirl used a train to get him out (He didn't know how she did it)
Eighth time: Robin used a kiddy shovel to get him out (He was still impressed)
Ninth time: Ummm, it kinda went boom.
He was feeling tired already, he'd probably used up his oxygen already, he glanced around one last time, he had a cuts on the inside of his forearms, he couldn't feel them, Nightwing wondered what could possibly make him not see the cuts on his arms, he inspected him, the lack of air was fogging his judgement.
Running his fingers over the slits in his outfit, he felt the untouched skin underneath, confusing him, the blood had to come from somewhere, right? He closed his eyes, it was only for a second, he passed out.
Impulse complained for the billionth time was he removed something brownish-green and unidentifiable from his boot.
"This stinks, when can we find Nightwing already?"
"Shut up before I shut you up."
Roy threatened, Robin was still leading them, the raven haired boy stopped and said
"Drop your socks and grab your crocks, we're gonna get wet."
Bart almost threw up at the sight of the murky green water, he could have sworn that he saw something large and black move in the water, also he saw the carcass of a long dead thing in the distance
"Robin, I'm sure I don't want to swim in anything that glows green and contains bloodthirsty marine animals dead for centuries."
Tim shoved his hand in the brown slime under his feet and pulled out a dirty antique throwing knife
"Talons go this way, this must be their hideout"
"You really like Nightwing a lot to do this for him"
"Ever any doubt?"
Robin shoved a rebreather on and dove in the water, Roy shrugged and put his rebreather in his mouth, smirking at Bart and diving in feet first.
Impulse groaned, looked around then put on the rebreather that he had gotten as part of his supplies, then shuddered before slowly sliding in, he followed the other two boys.
Robin helped the auburn haired boy out of the water, plucking poop out of the future boy's head, making Bart shudder once again
"We're so going to need a shower, feeling the mode."
"Dude, we either find Nightwing or skip a shower, frankly, I want to find out leader"
"Why don't you call him your brother? After all, Batman adopts you"
Tim stared wide-eyed at Bart, to be adopted by Bruce would mean that his father has to die first, Bart covered his mouth
"Sorry man, spoilers, musta gotten my history mixed up, totally moded."
Roy looked up, then drew an arrow
"Guys, we've got company"
Robin had two birdarangs at the ready, Impulse got into a running position. Three Talons crawled out, one for each of them, Tim threw his shruiken and pounced with his staff at the ready, the largest met Tim with a sword.
Red Arrow attacked also, shooting arrows and cursing himself for not having any ice arrows or foam arrows, an explosion could make the structure crumble, so he used sharp arrows, they didn't even slow the Talon he was fighting.
Impulse darted around his Talon, he tried creating a vortex but it had no affect, Bart was fighting Mary, the only female Talon, the speedster skidded under a swing and tried to punch her, she caught his fist and slammed him into the ground, he vibrated his way out and simply ran.
Roy slammed his bow into the chin of his Talon, then into his stomach, Red Arrow tried to swing a kick into his opponent but he ended up being stabbed, the archer backed off and ducked under a swing, grabbing his bow and a sharp arrow before shooting the Talon straight in his face, sucessfully stopping him from regenerating.
Robin blocked punches, knives and swords with his bow staff, there was a growing number of cuts and bruises on the young boy as he was quickly loosing stamina from doing nothing but blocks.
Roy aimed carefully and his arrow pierced Impulse's Talon's head. The archer took aim for Cobb, the largest Talon fighting and almost defeating Tim, he swore as Bart joined in on the fight, the ginger couldn't risk hitting either of the younger boys.
Red Arrow pounced into the fight as well, Impulse zipped around while Robin fought with his bo staff, Red Arrow hit everywhere he could and even used an few arrows to try and stab Cobb.
Suddenly, Batgirl's boots came into view, she swung over and kicked the Talon's face
"Red, Rob, Impulse, find Nightwing, we've got this!"
Wally zipped over and sped around the Talon, William caught the speedster in a kick and sent the ginger boy flying across the room.
Red Arrow, Impulse and Robin obeyed Batgirl and ran down the maze to find Nightwing, the rest of the Team were at most equal to Cobb's skills.
Tim kicked a loose tile, finding a hole
"Guys! C'mere"
The Boy Wonder kicked off another tile and Roy helped him pry off more with his bow, Bart vibrated next to them as the hole became bigger.
Author's Note: Sorry for the crappy fight scene, I'm horrible at it.
Once this is over the sequel will come a few weeks after so I have a chance to finish up No Light.
Sorry if I made any mistakes, I'm writing fast here so I can finish up.
Review please, tips would be nice.
