Kidnapped by Quinn

16: Tears and Hopelessness

"Look at this familiar situation." Ansley whined as she pulled on the restraints that keep her still. "Except Patick is on this side of the cage this time."

"I've said I'm sorry so many freaking times, babe." Patrick rolled his eyes while he seemed to be the only one keeping calm.

"What if we can't ever get out? We'll die here before I even get a chance to have my first kiss with Jaylynn." Carter whined hysterically.

"I'll kiss anyone else in your family except you." Jaylynn growled as she tried to reach the knife in her pocket. She twisted and turned, but unfortunately it was just out of her reach.

"Does this always happen to the good guys?" Erza asked as she stared up at the ceiling as if she was calculating how to break out.

"Only when people mess up missions." Chelsea rolled her eyes before glaring at Patrick. "You had direct orders to help distract Bane, not help Lightspeed."

"Don't worry. Timmy will be here soon to rescue us." Erza smiled and laughed like crazy.

"If we're relying on Tim Drake to come save us then we're doomed." Rebel laughed lightly and smirked at Jaylynn. "If we die I want you to know that I enjoyed pretending to be your girlfriend."

"Pretending? Soon enough you will be my girlfriend." Jaylynn winked at Rebel before trying to grab her knife again. "Am I the only one here actually trying to escape?"

"They said if we tried to escape they'll kill us." Carter whined as he looked at Jaylynn wishfully. "Why do you have to be gay for my sister?"

"Have you seen her? Look at that face and her beautiful-"

"Ew! I don't want to here about my sister's butt like that."

"I was gonna say hair, but she does has a nice butt. Plus can we mention that she is not flat-chested."

"We can talk about it later." Rebel laughed lightly at her brother and best friend.

"I feel like I'm gonna be sick." Chelsea complained as she looked at them all. "What's our plan?"

The ominous sound of clunky metal boots interrupted them. "Look at what we have here. Two bats, a speedster, two lanterns, a clown, and an Ivy. I'm sure I can get a great price for you children." The voice was deep and strong.

"Who are you and why are you working with Bane?" Chelsea's voice was higher pitched but just as strong as the man's voice.

"Little bat, I suggest you keep your mouth shut or I'll cut your wings. If you must know, I am a man with no-name, and I payed Bane to lure out a couple Justice League members, but their children came instead." The man finally came out of the shadows.

"Mr. No-Name, where are we? Also when can we leave?" Carter asked with a childlike innocence.

"You are on a carrier right now. You will soon be brought into a spacecraft that will transport you to a slave market for alien captives. You will leave when the highest bidder buys you." The chilling words were punctuated with a low, proud chuckle.

"I'm scared of heights though." Erza had wide eyes full of fear. "My dad will buy me if you ask him. I'll just have to beg for him and momma's forgiveness."

"They'll beat you black and blue." Patrick said with dark eyes. "Then again our new owners might do the same."

"As long as I get a hot owner, I'll be fine with that." Rebel smirked as Jaylynn nodded in agreement.

"I need to remember that. Slutty slaves are worth a lot more." The man gave them all one more glance before turning on his heel. "You can thank your friend, Kitty, for the helpful information on how to capture you all." The team listened until the sound of boots faded away.

"We have to get out of here right now." Carter whined loudly and pulled on the restraints that were leaving bruises on his wrists. "Wait... Lighty... Are you okay?"

All heads turned to the speedster as hot tears rolled down her red cheeks. She was breathing only barely in small gasps like she was desperate for air. "...I'll never see them again..." She managed to whimper out.

"...Lighty? ... What's wrong?..." There was only silence after Patrick's words. "...Ansley ... Please answer me..."

"DAD! WALLY! BART! JAI!" Her screams were absolutely heartbreaking. "PLEASE! NO, I'LL NEVER SEE MY FAMILY AGAIN! THEY CAN'T COME SAVE ME THIS TIME!"

Tears started rolling down Chelsea's face. "...Dad, Alfred, Damian, Dick, Tim, Jason, Barbara, Cass, Steph..." She started mumbling off names quietly.

"...Mom, dad, Aunt Kori, Uncle Roy..." Jaylynn let a single tear fall before she turned her head away from the team as if she was too embarrassed to look at them.

"...Dad, mom, Uncle Barry, Uncle Oli..." Rebel refused to let tears out, but they were definitely there in her eyes. While Carter was in shock over the whole thing.

Erza and Patrick sat and watched their friends in pain. "Guys, pull it together. We're going
to make it out of this and see our families again." Erza pulled more at her restraints.

"NO WE'RE NOT! I CAN'T BE OWNED AGAIN! I WAS OWNED BY CADMUS TOO LONG TO BE OWNED BY SOMEONE AGAIN!" Ansley hysterically cried.

"...Cadmus?..." Patrick asked, the worry in his voice was thick enough to cut with a knife. "Babe, what are you talking about?"

"Cadmus... A high tech research facility. They were known for only good things until it was discovered that they were making an illegal genetic army including clones of some certain heroes including Superman and Flash." Chelsea said as if it was implemented in her brain.

"You're a clone?..." Patrick asked with confusion in his voice. "I didn't know that..."

"Don't say it like that. You make it sound like a bad thing." Erza growled as she looked at Ansley with a sweet, sincere smile. "Listen Hun, you're going to be fine."

"Erza... I'm never going to see my family again... They were there when I needed it the most... They took me in as one of there own..." Ansley was speaking in whimpers with her now hoarse voice while gasping for air.

"And if you have a panic attack, you'll make it harder for us to get out of here so you can see them again." Erza's words were soft yet strong enough for Ansley to pull herself together.

"Heck yeah." Jaylynn held up her knife with one bound hand. She cut her restraints off and stood in front of them. "Who wants off this carrier before No-Name comes back?"
