The Killer Instinct

Chapter 15

Katie's POV

"Look I know you're pissed at me and-"

"More than pissed." Martin butted in.

"Okay more than pissed but taking hostages and going on a killing spree isn't the answer. Just let her go." I demanded.

I could see Max pacing behind a desk waiting for the signal.

"Killing spree? You're really going to talk to me about a killing spree after what you did to my men." Martin growled pressing the gun further.

"Fair enough but at least I didn't kill your brother." I pointed out.

"Doesn't matter." Martin snaps.

He fires the gun and Iris falls, bleeding out.

"NOOOO!" I shouted.

I fire an arrow and it slams into his chest. He sinks to his knees and tips to his side.

I rush over to Iris and Max comes too.

"Max get everybody out of here." I ordered.

Max barks and growls at the people ushering them out the door.

"Iris? Come on please..." I whispered.

I pulled down my hood and mask so the last thing she sees is a friend.

"Katie..." She groans.

"Iris please...stay awake..." I plead grabbing her hand.

"Tell...Barry...it was him...always him..." She coughed out and her head drooped to the side, eyes closed.

"No...no....NOOOO!!!!" I yelled.

"Katie? What happened?!" Felicity demanded. "Are you alright?"

"Get Barry over here now..." I murmured.

I stayed beside Iris until Barry showed up.

"Katie! What happened?!" He asked. He noticed his dead friend's body lying next to me. "Oh no..."

I sniffed, "I tried saving her and I couldn't. Martin he shot her and I killed him. I tried Barry, I really did..."

I pulled up my hood and mask and stood up. Max nudged me and whined.

Barry knelt down next to Iris's body and kissed her forehead.

"Barry I'm sorry..." I whispered.

"I really need to get to ARGUS..." I continued. "Can you carry both of us?"

Barry nodded weakly, "It wasn't your fault."

I picked up Max and Barry picked us up and took off. He dropped us off just outside the window of the main floor. I looked inside and saw there was a firefight between Captain Boomerang, Oliver, Lyla, and Diggle.

I turned to Max, "Can you fetch boomerangs? Without getting cut?"

Max just growled impatiently.

"I'll take that as a yes." I said.

I summersaulted through the window and fired an arrow at the two boomerangs that were heading straight for Oliver. He turned and looked at me, smiling.

"Nobody else dies tonight!!!" I yelled.

Boomerangs were flying ever and I ducked next to Oliver.

"Max!" I got his attention and he growled. "Fetch!"

Max took off heading for the weapons.

"Can he really do that?!" Oliver yelled over the gunshots.

I nodded and fired an arrow at the man's hand. He slashed the arrow with a boomerang, its edges like fire destroying everything in its path. The man threw down a smoke bomb and when it cleared he was gone.
