Robin stared at Wally with wide eyes and his mouth gaping open, his jaw practically hitting the floor.
"Wally?" Kaldur asked in confusion as he took another bite out of his sandwich.
"I found her in an alleyway in Central, but I didn't hate her so I brought her home and Flash didn't hate her either. She should still be at my place" Wally explained to them both with a grin and slowly, Robin returned that grin.
"So she's alright?" He asked hopefully and Wally's eyes darted away for a moment.
"Well…she's not one hundred percent but she's not in any pain or anything like that" He muttered and Robin nodded and smiled.
"She's alright" He laughed and Kaldur smiled, it was much nicer to have Robin his normal cheerful self rather than the rather depressed Robin that had been present moments before.
"Batman called her and told her to stay in Central so she should be fine until the counter curse is found" Wally explained and Robin jumped up from the sofa and stared at him.
"What? He told her to stay there?" He demanded suddenly alert and ready for action.
"Uh…yeah? Why?" Wally asked and Robin made a frustrated groaning noise.
"She's not just going to sit there! She'll be gone the moment you take your eyes off of her!" He exclaimed running over to the zeta tubes but Wally shot in front of him and stopped him.
"You can't go after her" He stated and Robin glared at him.
"Why not?" He demanded and Wally sighed.
"The curse, remember? It might not affect me or Flash but it still might affect you and the team. We can't take that risk" Wally explained, using the rare seen common sense he actually had.
"…Your right" Robin sighed his shoulders visibly slumping as he realised this.
"Wait…maybe we can help her" Artemis suggested, and suddenly she had the whole teams attention.
"I've just had an idea"
Batgirl, whilst climbing out of the Flash's window had a sudden epiphany, no matter what the circumstances were, she never obeyed Batman's orders. She made a 'huh' sound before shrugging her shoulders, wincing slightly and continuing out of the window onto the balcony of the house.
Thankfully Flash and Kid lived in a neighbourhood so she could just jump onto the next house with relative ease. It would have been easier if she didn't suddenly have the chills, despite the fact the sun was shining and her outfit had heat regulators inside it, it was designed to keep her at the perfect body temperature. Technically she shouldn't have been cold but she didn't really care at that moment.
She kept crossing the rooftops until she got into the dirtier parts of Central city. She had no idea where Morgan Le Fay was but she knew that the witch would be watching her, villains had a habit of waiting around to watch the chaos unfold rather than running away.
Idiots…wait…where am I going again?
She stopped on top of a three story building and frowned. Where was she going? She stood still and stared at the ground in a frown as she thought about what it was she had just been doing…no…she couldn't remember.
That's…peculiar…
Batgirl heard a shuffling behind her and she span around, the world spinning slightly with her but she managed to focus enough to leap out of the way of the star that shot towards her at a frightening speed.
She looked over at the green clad assassin and glared, wondering how the heck she found her in Central and what the heck she was doing here.
Cheshire didn't waste time with snide insults this time, she snarled and charged straight at Batgirl.
Batgirl dodged a swipe to the face and a blow to the stomach with relative ease, and she swept her leg round and caught the back of Cheshire's ankle making her topple over backwards.
Your not on form today…but then an angry curse will do that to you.
Batgirl jumped backwards away from Cheshire who lay on the floor growling, Batgirl was panting and she could feel her heart trying to break free of her chest.
"You look like you could use some help"
Batgirl looked over to see Red Arrow leap down from the building directly next to the one she and Cheshire were on and land beside her.
"Red? What are you doing in Central?" She asked him with a frown and he raised an eyebrow.
"I came looking for you, heard about your curse and how it didn't affect Flash or KF" He informed her and she huffed out another harsh breath as even thought she was standing still her heart hadn't slowed and neither had her breathing.
"And you figured it wouldn't affect you because?" She asked him trying to stop the world spinning from where she stood.
"Your hair, when your mask split I saw that it was dark red" He explained and she turned to stare at him with an incredulous look on her face.
"Your parents hair, what colour is it?" He asked and she frowned.
"Ginger" She replied and he nodded, pointing to his own hair.
"Kid Flash and Flash both share my hair colour" He told her and she gaped at him.
"Your telling me…that the curse, that has made everyone hate me, doesn't affect gingers?" She shrieked as the world span and Red Arrow had to hold her up for moment.
"Whoa easy there…you alright? Shit your hands are freezing" He muttered as he caught her and she frowned, realising she had only one glove on.
"Can we worry about Cheshire please?" She whined and practically fell backwards when Red let her go to shoot a rapid succession of arrows at Cheshire.
The assassin glared at Batgirl, winked at Red Arrow and fell backwards off the building.
Neither Red or Batgirl checked if she was okay.
"Hey, are you alright?" Red asked her again and she grabbed her stomach.
"No" She blanched before bringing up the meagre contents of her stomach.
"Hey…do you have blood poisoning?" Red asked in a slightly panicked voice and Batgirl glared at him.
"My symptoms are equivalent to that of severe sepsis" She growled retching as he held her up.
"What?" He asked and she blanched.
"I have blood poisoning" She told him, and promptly passed out.
"Great, now what do I do?" Red Arrow demanded angrily, before lifting Batgirl up bridal style and turning in the direction of Wally's house.
"Oh man, Batman's gonna kill me" He muttered to himself as he leapt across the rooftops.
Okay so this didn't have much flare but in the next chapter she starts hallucinating (not a symptom of blood poisoning but hey ho, I want her to hallucinate and therefore she shall)
Sorry this took so long to do but I have my exams coming up in May and June so I need to revise so until my exams are finished the chapters may be a bit widespread but I AM updating.
Oh! And kudos to any of you who worked out that gingers are immune to the curse! I just threw it in there cause I like Roy but most of all I love Flash and Kid Flash (Justice League Flash was brilliant, I adored him)
Highlander, well she has a distraction…not quite a kiss but…maybe…oh I'm not gonna lie they'll kiss at some point (when…I don't yet know…but it WILL be emotional)
Knightmare, Agh! She can't go to mount justice! Their not all ginger! Only a few heroes can be anywhere near her! But your right, she is far too stubborn for her own good, just like me!
Lionfire, Aaaaah I see, your right, I didn't like how Quicksilver kept switching, I wanted him to be a baddy and just stay as a baddy.
Kindleflame, Have you read my previous stories? Batgirl never listens to reason! It's what makes her brilliant!
Ravenmore, Did you know every time you hit your head you kill one hundred brain cells? And you have a little brother? Aww!
WinterRain, Dude, you've just put both your feet down? HOLY POTATOS! YOU CAN FLY!
Read and Review guys!
