Fight like (you) spitfire. (Sequel) *Discontinued*

Behind the scenes

A/N: I honestly don't know why I called it that!

Wally POV

The sharp throb in my head rattled me awake. I scrunched my face and clenched my locked up fists, trying to dull the pain. A small flash back startled me, seeing Robin being beat up in his unconscious state. 

"what?" I accidently whisper out loud. But nothing happens so I assume there is no one in the room with me. I shake my head, trying to remember what happened but instead, I get a bigger migraine. I try breaking out of my bonds but I see a flicker in the shadows and my movements cease by themselves.

My breath quickens and my pulse radiates in my head. I narrow my eyes, straining to see who is in the shadows. The silhouette of a man appears and I tilt my head slightly, still trying to figure out who it is. But the silhouette disappears and I catch my breath. Afraid that the slightest sound could awaken a trap. 

I would try to shift my molecules with my super speed, but my heart is racing faster than I can chase it. I would need to be calm to try that trick and I am obviously not calm. Normally, I would talk to try for time but I was honestly too scared. Not knowing what could be prowling in those shadows could be more than I could handle and science would not help me here.

I finally let that breath run away and I pant from the lack of oxygen. My eyes bulging in fear. For the first time in a long time, I was scared. I was alone and no one could help me. My secrets could be uncovered or I could be raped. I could be tortured or killed. And I didn't want to die. Not when I found out that Artemis was always in love with me and vise-versa. Not now, not ever, but especially not now.

The crack of a whip against metal made me flinch and freeze. I didn't dare move my head to look around and see who it was, I didn't want to know either.

In my daze of fear, I was unchained and moved to a different room where my captor made me take off the top half of my uniform and so I was half naked. He threw it away and I was chained once again. My wrists were chained around a pole and my feet were chained to the wall. I could move, but not escape. My back was facing the unknown villain. Once again I heard the crack of a whip but not against metal. 

A scream was soon ripped from my mouth as the stinging pain immediately followed. I could feel the gash opening and closing slightly each time I took a breath. The blood that was expected drifted slowly down my bare back. I clenched my eyelids together and bit my bottom lip. Again a whip was heard but the excruciating pain came before the sound. I yelled out loud as a tear tracked it's was onto my chest, which was heaving with effort. More slashes and wounds snaked their way onto my back. I didn't bother counting, but my consciousness, what was left of it, told me we were in the twenties.

my vision started to get to dark in the corners and my head started to loll to one side. My vocal chords too used to scream one last time. My eyelids started to fall, limiting my vision even more. I flinched as the whip cackled against my back. I fought the pain and tried to pry my eyelids open, but they did the opposite of what I wanted and my body gave itself away to the pain. 

My body went limp but the pounding bell in my ears didn't cease and the air still tasted like a familiar metal tang. The red fluid that had leaked out of my body without my permission. I could still feel the invisible sweat that didn't come because of my dehydration. Those were the last things I felt before drifting off into hell.

My hell.

Artemis POV

I sat by Robin's cot thinking of the past events. I needed to sit by him just in case he woke up with no one here. I thought of the others, they had powers but some of their powers failed them at the wrong time. They stayed strong and tough for each other. For all of us to support the ones who have lost things that were dear to them. Like me, I lost Wally but I still didn't want them to support me. Robin needed them more.

I knew his secret I.D. unlike the others. His back-story, the horrors he went through as a child. In a way he was like me. Rough child hood, same amount of tough training, except mine was tougher. But he lost his parents at a young age, I still have mine even if one of them is a villain. If he was the same age as me, we would both have six years of training. He had hero friends before this team was made. Like Kaldur, Roy and Wally. Oh, wally.

He was just kidnapped and were I'm not doing anything. The others went to search for him and made me stay. I feel like a sitting duck, expecting the worst and bored out of my mind. Batman wanting to check me because of the way I defeated Deathstroke. They also wanted me to watch over Robin while I was at it. Since I patched him up better than the rest of them could've. 

When Batman finally came, I was relieved, I wouldn't be so bored anymore! He made me lie down, naked on a cot, covered only by a blanket. He ran some scans on me and gave me some needles. each time he found something new or abnormal, he started to whisper to himself. I couldn't hear what he said but I could read his lips. A talent that was taught to me by my dad.

He would see things like my cells and say "That's not normal," or "I have never seen anything like this before,". That last one would always be followed but a shaking of his head and a sigh or a grunt of frustration. 

finally he finished and I sat up, wrapping the blanket tightly around me. Batman got up to let me put on my uniform and my eyes shifted to the door where Robin was standing, fully awake but slightly confused. I shook my head slightly, as a sign of "not now". Thankfully, he understood and snuck away before Batman could see him. When Batman closed the door and I let my blanket fall, walking to the door to check if it was locked, just in case. 

It was.

I sat back down on the cot, needing some more time out of my uniform. Subconsciously, I rubbed at my bare breasts. Cupping them in my hand and moving them around. I gasped as I moved them in a specific way that felt really good. Suddenly, an image of Wally kissing my breasts came to mind and I jumped to a mirror on the far side of the room. I frowned at my reflection, how dirty minded could I get! I needed to stop thinking about these things. Plus, since when did it get so deep that Wally started kissing my breasts?

I shook my head to enter reality again and put on my uniform hastily. As I excited, I saw Batman in deep conversation with his protege.  Suddenly he looked over at me and gestured me to come into their conversation. I dragged my feet the whole time I walked there, suddenly tired from today's events. My adrenaline must have finally run out.

Batman looked more intense than usual. Robin and I waited long minutes for the news that couldn't wait. 

Finally, Batman spoke, "Something unusual has developped but I'm still not sure what triggered it."

"Okay..." I said gesturing him to keep going.

"Artemis, she ..."

"What?" It was Robin's turn to speak, he asked cautiously.

"It's sort of like metagenes and technically speaking, hers has been activated."

I gasped as I caught on, "you mean ... I ..."

"Yes," he finished for me. "You have a superpower."

A/N: Whoo!!! 1384 words! How was that? I tried to make the Wally torturing part as intense as possible.
