Don't own.
It was around midnight when it happened. Bart was snoozing on the couch, Artemis and Wally were in their room and Avalon was in the guest bedroom. The scream almost made Bart's heart stop. It was high pitched and filled with terror. It came from the guest bedroom. Bart lept to his feet and sped down the hall almost kicking the door down to get inside. His heart dropped into the pit of his stomach at what he saw. The bed covers were off the bed, the window was wide open and Avalon was gone. He heard the pounding of feet behind him and then felt a hand on his shoulder.
" What happened?" Artemis demanded, looking around the room and noticing the absence of the girl. She turned to Wally, her grey eyes wide.
" Something took her" Bart said. " and I think I know were it took her"
Avalon woke up in a different room than she had fallen asleep in. The room was dark and gloomy, the shadows streaching across the walls chasing any light they could find. Avalon moved forward and reached out a hand to the darkness, next thing she knew a spark of blue electricity emitted from the spot her hand had touched, she winced and pulled back in surprise, examining her hand for any visable damage.
" I see you are awake," a cold voice said. Avalon jumped and spun on her knees, nothing.
" Don't be so scared little one...it'll all be over soon..." The laugh echoed around her. Avalon shivered and cowerd into the corner, another shock of electricity, this time hitting her wings. She cried out and the laugh Sounded again. She was in trouble. Her only hope was for her friends to find her. For Bart to find her...that was if they even realised she was missing.
" Nightwing? The kid's been taken" Wally said down the phone. Artemis was on the couch, legs tucked up and hands shaking in her lap. Bart was much the same and couldn't control the tremours of vibration radiating through his body.
That scream...
He was hit with another wave and after it was over he stood up on shakey legs and stretched. He felt a tug at his shirt and looked down. Artemis shifted over and let Bart sit back down, pulling him to her and running a hand through his bed-head.
" We will find her, don't worry" she whispered.
" I know...the question is...alive or dead?" His head nuzzled into her and Artemis tightened her grip on the boy just as Wally got off the phone.
" Come on Bart, we gotta get to the cave" Wally said picking up the door keys. Bart stood up along with Artemis, who reasuringly squeezed his shoulder before letting him walk towards Wally. " Artemis, stay here, call if anything happens" the blonde nodded and the two boys left... allowing her muffle a sob and curl up on the sofa in silence.
