Ch 8
"Hello Megan!(This is where I cringe) We should go find her bow."
The Team was shocked to hear Mgann's voice.
"Why would we go back there?" Wally asked.
"Artemis loved her bow. She wouldn't want it to age in ruble."
Wally knew she was right, but what if they found her. What if they found her burned and scarred, dead. He wanted to remember laughing, yelling at him even, being beautiful and a hero. Not dead.
"Okay. Let's go."
It was warm, but to the team it felt so cold. In front of them was burnt ruble, the remains of the warehouse. Mgann was trying to stay strong and not cry, but it was hard not to. The wind blew remaining embers into the ocean. No one smiled, no one spoke. Slowly they made their way to the edge of the ruble. With a nod from Kaldur they began their search.
"We couldn't even find her bow."
The Team found nothing. This only added to their depression. Connor and Wally were pounding on the wall, leaving sideways craters, Robin sat in the shadows leaning his head against the Bio-Ship, Mgann was crying, again, and Kaldur stood staring into space.
'The Bio-Ship wasn't scheduled nor authorized to leave the base."
Hearing Batman's voice, Mgann turned invisible so he couldn't see her crying.
There was no response.
"I have a mission for you."
"What?" Connor asks.
"The military's nuclear facility is getting a large shipment of highly dangerous chemicals-"
"And you want us to guard the truck."
After Batman finished growling and glaring he says; "yes."
"Whatever," Kid Flash says before speeding off and coming back in his costume. "I'll be in the ship."
"What you get from them?" Batman asks.
"I wasn't able to get any memories, because their minds seemed to be blocked and protected, but I was able to get a feel of their emotions." Martian Man Hunter explains.
"And?"
Shaking his head MMH says; "There was pain, sadness, grief, hatred, anger, and depression, all on the most extreme range."
"And you weren't able to find out why?"
"I'm afraid not, but I am concerned."
"Yes, I understand. Whatever it is could affected their performance and health."
The two league members only shook their heads in concern and deep thought.
