Young Justice x OC Book 2

Chapter 14: You can heal a stab wound but can't fight an infection??

"My kidney fell out it just popped out like a bean from a pod". I whispered in disgust as Arsenal was rewrapping my wound. "Fulmine what the hell"? "You can live without a kindey, it was detached and risking infection". "So you shoved it out of my body? I didn't even know you could do that! That I could do that"! I told her.

"It's bad enough you put it in your utility belt"! Arsenal told me. "Stop bringing it up I'm going to be sick, again". He told me.

We kept moving, my wound was "healing" but zero food water or rest took its toll on my powers for sure. The reach were on board the war world causing their own issues. "What percentage are you at"? I asked. He checked his arm

"50. Can I use your lightning to charge it"? He asked.

"Not enough in the tank, my lightning has better use in keeping us safe". I reminded him.

Our attempts at communication had failed again and again. When we found a communication tower it wouldn't allow us in. Two Reach soldiers came up on us and we had to hide behind the com tower we were using seeing as Arsenal's arm had officially died and I was barely able to use static to shock anything. Arsenal took them down and picked up their staffs. I got up and he handed me one of the staffs. "I need to check your wound before long". He told me and I nodded. It went from healing to infected over night.

"Let me have control. I can keep you going". Fulmine told me.

"But you can't fight an infection? If you take control you can't magically give me a full stomach. If I use my powers it could seriously hurt me". I told her.

A few hours passed and we heard fighting. "It may be the League or Nightwing"! I told Arsenal.

"Let's go". We ran and watched as a group of teens attacked the Reach's patrols. We followed them from there keeping our distance. We hung back when Black attacked them.

"Roy they're getting eaten alive". I told him.

"I know but we don't exactly have guns to blaze". He reminded me. He zip lined across and closed the door on the Reach soldiers trying to give the teams a fighting chance.

"Gracias amigos. Um, who are you"? One of the teens asked.

"The people who will save your butts if you listen carefully". Arsenal told him.

"You can't beat Black Beetle head on, keep him off balance and we might stand a chance". I told him. It was a game of fly, shoot and evade.

My body was giving out on me, flying wasn't even an option anymore I collapsed and cried out. "Someone needs to get her to safety". Arsenal told him.

"Hang on". The girl told me grabbing me and launching us out of the way. "Daijōbudesuka? O jō"? (Are you ok Lady??)She asked.

I saw Arsenal freeing Mongule. "Mongule this is all your fault"! Black yelled charging him.

"Ándale Super Nino". The teleporting teen said helping Super Boy in the stasis pod below me. I lowered myself and Guardian helped me down.

"Bolt what happen"? Bee asked.

"Occupational hazard". I chuckled. Bee took one look at the soaked through gauze I was wrapped with and shook her head.

"We need to get her back to earth". She told the group. Guardian picked me up and we made our way towards the door.

"Ok get ready there's a squad of Reach soldiers waiting for us". Arsenal told us before opening the door to all of the Reach soldiers laying on the floor. Nightwing, Miss Martian and Sphere were there. I did not think I'd be happy to see Dick at the moment but I was over joyed.
