Kari's POV

I walk away from Maddy and search the crowd for Legolas, Jack, and Will. I don't have much time to find them and ask them if they'd want to be allies.

Fortunately for me those three tend to stand out in a crowd. I reach Legolas first and he seems surprised to see me.

Before he even gets a chance to say anything I'm already talking.
"Do you want to be allies with me, Maddy, and Barry?"
Was that even the right way to ask? Did anyone over hear?

Oh my gosh so much pressure!
Legolas stares at me for a moment and is about to amswer when he's interrupted once again.

"We'd love to be allies!"
Jack says dragging a reluctant Will behind him.
"We don't need allies Jack! We'll be fine on our own."
"Did you not hear her? They have Fasty on their team and Legless."

"Legolas."
Legolas muttered under his breath.
"Fine."
Will sighed and turned to me.
"We'll meet you in the arena. Whatever you do don't go to the cornucopia. Just run."

Jack and Will leave and I'm left standing with Legolas. Feeling a bit uncomfortable I glance at him.
"So, I guess you're in?"
Legolas sighs (almost exactly like Will did) and nods.
"I will meet the rest of you in the arena."

I nearly clap my hands together in glee but settle for walking over to my platform. I wish that I was standing near Maddy, but I'm between Four and Steve.

I'm actually super excited to be standing next to the Captain America. I wish that we weren't going into a fight to the death.

He looks over at me and gives me a sympathetic smile.
"Be careful out there."
He says.
"Uh thanks. You too."
Steve looks away from me as our platforms begin to lower down into the arena.

For a moment all I can see is black. Then my eyes are pierced with light as I come into the arena. It's a forest. Why is it always usually a forest?

Something strange about the arena is that there's huge mountains where I assume the edge of the arena is. That's odd. There's usually never mountains lile that.

My platform stops moving and I stand still waiting for the horn to sound that will begin the games. The cornucopia is straight ahead and I remember what Will said.

Don't go near the cornucopia, just run.

Right.
Just run.
They'll take care of getting weapons and such.

The horn blows. Everyone takes off running.
I start running.

Head for the trees, avoid the middle, just-
Oh look a bow!

I run straight for it and then stop.
What in the name of what am I doing?!
All around me everyone is grabbing weapons and either running or fighting.

For a moment I'm rooted to my spot until I feel someone grab me. Then everything becomes a blur and one moment I'm standing by the cornucopia, and the next I'm in the middle of a bunch of trees.

There's a gust of wind and Maddy apears. Her hair is a tangled mess and she shakes her head.
"Maddy? What was-"
More wind, Legolas appears with his hair a mess and two bows and quivers in his hands.

Two?!
He got two bows?!
More wind, Jack appears. In a blur Will and Barry arrive.
Oh yeah, Barry is the Flash.
That explains it.

"I have a brilliant idea."
Jack says as he stumbles around trying to regain his senses.
"Let's never do that again."

Barry shrugs and starts throwing several backpacks on the ground in front of him.
"At least I got us all here. With enough supplies to last us for days."
