Chapter 36: Payback's a Bitch

Midnight's Pov

I hum a cheery tune walking into the cave carrying a heavy expensive piece of metal from Professor Ivo's warehouse. Along with Blue Prints to the Amazo robot stuck to my ribs from protecting it from the explosion with half the evidence gone and covered in oil. I heave the metal  feeling my hair sticking to the back of my neck with thick black oil. The closer I get to the briefing room to earn another lecture from Batman about hacking into his computer. Something seemed off from the smell of iron that filled the room.

"Beastboy get more bandages." Someone yelled walking into the central chamber to see all Themyscria citizens injured. Some badly bleeding; it was a sickening sight to see. And with me all covered in oil with stolen evidence stuck against my skin this will surely get me suspended or worse. Without attracting attention, I walk backwards to the beach. Once outside, the sea was my best source of washing out the oil and hopefully the smell of it. I scrub my hair with my nails violently under a couple of rocks. I tie the metal to a rock and the blue print under the sand to retrieve later. 

"Okay, this is good just walk in and pretend you just got there." I told myself thinking about the cameras footage I need to erase.  I walk in holding my breath to calm my beating heart a couple of paces down before entering.

"Oh my god." I shouted running to the first person I saw. "Here, Beastboy give some bandages. What happened?" I asked quickly taking some bandages from him.

"I don't know they just came from the tubes in numbers, all of us just started helping." Garfield explained, shaken by what he'd seen today.

"Why are you wet?" He wondered, I replied with a simple lie. "I missed my landing and fell in the water instead." Garfield didn't think so much about it now. He points to my brother in the corner.

 "Nightwing needs more bandages." Garfield stated running to another side of the room to help the wounded. I run to my brother handing him the bandages. Dick removes the dirty bandages from a fellow Amazon warrior and snatch the new bandages from my arms. He was so focused on helping the wounded warrior I grip his shoulder.

"Just tell me what to do." I whispered, Dick's look of sympathy was enough to worry about my problems later. 

"Grab a kit and help Cassandra with stitching." He ordered, I nodded removing my mask and jacket throwing it aside the room. I go over to Cassandra with rubber gloves on and a kit in hand kneeling down next to her. I looked down upon a badly open stomach wound. Cassandra was trying her best to keep the Amazon laying down.

"Stay calm, Amazon. The more you move  your wound worsens." I explained soaking a patch of bandages with alcohol and smother her with it to have her inhale the scent. She struggles at first.

"What are you doing?"

"It'll keep her from moving so much. Start cleaning the wound." I instructed removing the patch away from the Amazon's face as she stares at the ceiling.

"By the Gods, I beg you not to let me suffer." The Amazon woman prayed, Cassandra cleans the blood around the wound as I tie the wire around the needle and began stitching together the wound.

"Tell me what happened." I urged Cassandra to keep her mind from falling into depression.

"I didn't know anything, but I felt something was wrong." Cassie explained letting her mind wander and I had to ask.

"Is that why you trip the wire at the shipping docks?" I asked her eyes went wide and regret showed on her face. I finish the stitch biting the end off the wire.

"No worries just-" I stopped in speaking as someone lifts me up by the throat choking me. My feet dangled as I stare down to see Hellhound with freaky eyes and fangs snarling at me.
