Nightwing: Heroes

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Artemis eventually fell asleep in my arms, leaving me in an uncomfortable position. I didn't mind though, I couldn't imagine what she's been through. But at least she's gotten it out. And I know she could be pretty solid when it comes to her feelings. She basically shows no emotion. I could picture what she told me in my mind. Over and over again. Almost like... Like I was there.

I even imagined stuff that she didn't tell me. Weird. Oh well, I guess it was just my imagination adding to it. A little while later, I drifted off as well. I dreamt about Kid Flash, and his death. I woke up yelling. Great, another Night terror. I've been having those a lot lately.

Artemis was sitting in the corner of the room, with her arms rapped around her legs. I guess she had waken up and moved. "You okay?", she asked with worry in her eyes. "Yah, yah I'm fine. Just had a really... Bad dream, that's all". Suddenly the door to our cell opened and two guards came in, cuffing us, and pulling us away.

We were brought into another room, with a desk and three chairs. Great. Interrogation time. I looked at Artemis. Thank God we still had the mental connection from Miss Martian. Don't Say anything, I thought. She just looked at me. I know, Dick. Don't worry. We were each put into a chair and cuffed to bars on the table. The guards left, and a few minutes later, to our surprise, It wasnt Freeze that came in. It was Deathstroke.

"Well hello kids", he said in his snotty, Australian accent. "Isn't it lovely, we finally get some alone time together?". We just stared. "Or I could just kill you", he growled, as he slammed his word down onto the table. Neither of us even flinched. "Strong nerves. I like that in you kids. Though it does take the fun out of torturing you". He put his sword away and flipped the chair backwards, to sit in it, while staring at us through his one eye hole.

"What do you want Slade?'. "Hey, i'll ask the questions, and you just keep your damn mouth shut!". I glared at him. Dick, don't piss him off, Artemis thought. We sat in silence as he just stared. Studying us. He finally got up and walked towards the door. "Thanks for the time, kids. That gave me long enough to get all the info I needed from you guys". "I looked up. What do you mean, 'Got from us', Slade". He laughed. "I was a distraction kiddos. On the other side o' that glass, Psimon was getting all the information The Light needs from your pee-wee brains" I looked at Artemis. Oh No.
