Darkness {Young Justice}

Chapter 27

The Director was in his office thinking about the current threat to Division. Someone was able to kill Darkness when most of his agents couldn't. Whoever the person is is a skilled killer. Killing one agent is difficult, but Darkness was one of the best.

A knock was heard and the Director glanced at the door. "Come in." He said as he waited for the person who knocked to come inside and see what they want.

The door opened and the Counselor walked in, closing the door slightly behind her. "Director what will we do with Agent Blaze? He failed his mission to kill Agent Scarlet. Do we kill him?"

The Director looked at the Counselor before saying, "No, we won't kill Agent Blaze. He's valuable to Division right now."

"And why is that?" The Counselor asked.

"You'll find out when the time is right." The Director said, "Now go."

The Counselor took one last glance at the Director before leaving his office.

The light from the torches were dim. Dark Storm was laying down in bed while he still recovered from his escape from the agency. He hated feeling weak and staying in bed wasn't helping his ego. He strongly desires to kill the Director for pushing him into his awful excuse of a life.

'How did my life become so worthless?' Dark Storm thought. He had everything in a second, but then one mistake and it was all gone. Look where he is now. A criminal, a killer, that has set his life goal on revenge, but then what? Kill the Director, the Counselor, and Darkness and then what? Pretend everything is normal? His life never been normal. He was an orphan that's the only thing that was normal about him, but even that was taken away from him when he was adopted.

Steps were heard in the corridors of Dark Storm's hideout. The door opened and one of Dark Storm's henchmen was standing by the door with a bowl of soup and with a cart filled with medical supplies. "I brought you some food." The henchman said as he gave the bowl of soup to Dark Storm.

"Thank you." Dark Storm said.

"Doctor Payne should be coming shortly." The henchman said to his boss.

"Okay." Dark Storm said. "You may leave."

The henchman nodded before leaving the room. Dark Storm sighed as he thought about how much his life changed in the past few years. He fell in love with Twilight, she died, he was heartbroken, he learned the truth about the agency, Team Alpha escaped, he killed Dark Stalker, he became a criminal, he killed Shadow, and did other things that people would call despicable.

Dark Storm looked at the soup and then looked away. His eyes went to his hands, his stained hands. His hands were stained in blood, other people's blood. Innocent blood. He should be used to it after everything he had been through, but there is still guilt for every kill he had made. He will not let that stop him from getting his revenge and he knows or hopes that he'll feel better after it is all over.

Darkness' finger began to move slightly. She began to feel parts of her body again. The effects of the Gruwia leaf was wearing off of her. She wanted to open her eyes, but it felt like too much work.

'Who knew trying to open my eyes would take so much work.' Darkness thought as she tried to move her arms. 'I hope this plan works because if it doesn't then I just went through all of this for nothing.' After what seemed like hours for Darkness she was able to move her legs and arms. When she finally had somewhat control of her body she tried to walk to the door only to stagger a little. She opened the door and used the walls to help her walk.

"Sibyl? Sparrow? Flame?" Darkness asked with a hoarse voice.

"Darkness you're awake?" Sibyl asked shocked as she ran towards her.

"You don't sound excited to see me." Darkness said to Sibyl teasingly, "Maybe I should go back to playing dead."

"No, I am happy that you're awake. It's just that you were suppose to stay asleep for a couple more hours." Sibyl said to her.

"Well lucky me then." Darkness said.

Sibyl put an arm around Darkness' waist to hold her up. "Are you hungry? Thirsty?" Sibyl asked feeling concerned for Darkness.

"I'm fine. No need to worry." Darkness said. "But can you help me downstairs to the couch? I just want to lay on the couch while I start to control my body more."

Sibyl nodded and slowly walked towards the stairs. "Hold on to me so you don't fall."

Darkness playfully rolled her eyes. "Really? But I wanted to see how it feels to fall down the stairs."

Sibyl chuckled and helped Darkness carefully down the stairs. When they made it down the currently dangerous stairs and steadily walked towards the couch. When the couch was in Darkness' vision and she saw Flame and Sparrow watching T.V. looking comfortable on the couch.

"Move aside boys make from for the lady." Sibyl said to both of the male agents turn to face Sibyl and Darkness.

Sparrow looked surprise to see Darkness up. "Darkness you're awake."

"No duh she's awake." Sibyl said to him. "Thanks for stating the obvious, Sparrow."

"Okay. Okay." Sparrow said as he and Flame got off of the couch and went to the other sofas. There was silence in the room as Sibyl carefully placed Darkness on the couch.

Darkness smiled at Sibyl and said, "Thank you."
