A Flightless Fall (Young Justice x Reader)

Ch 1. A Love Never Like Before

Breathing was all I could concentrate on. Breath in. Breath out. That's all I could do as Dr. Hopewell stuck me with another needle. The black ink liquid in the vial poured into my veins. I could feel it going in my system. I could feel the liquid attacking me from the inside. I dared not to let out a scream. If I scream they win. The monsters win if I dare show any ounce of emotion and so I sat in my chair, all scrapped down, as I died from the inside. I could feel the liquid decomposing my inners but my face showed no sign of the pain.

"How do you feel subject Q?" asked Dr. Hopewell, in Janovian, as other scientists stood around me.

"Your death will be slow, Doc," I replied in Janovian. Knowing too well if I didn't they would give me even more. It was hard enough with getting just one shot today.

"Now, Q is that any way to talk to me? I did take you in, raised you, and took care of you for all of these years." He said in my native tounge moving over to the computer.

A laugh erupts from me. His head snaps back over to me.

"Now what seems to be the laughing matter, Q? Is there something on my back?"

"Took me in yes. Care for me? I say not. Raise me? Not even close! " I say still laughing.

"All you did was kidnap me off the street after they abandoned me and threw me in a cage like I was some rabid animal!"

Dr. Hopewell makes his way over to me. He ties a gag around my mouth as my laughter is muffled by the fabric. As he exits the room four body guards come in and force me into a straightjacket and bind my feet together. One of them undoes the chair restraints, while another two hold down my long black wings. Placing a catraption over my wings, two of the guards pull me to my feet and drag me back to my "room". My "room" was four padded wall and floor along with my perch and hamic. The walls, floor, lights, and perch were all white. The only color I had seen beside the liquids I had injected into me was by precious hammock, which was (f/c). The guards removed my restraints on my wing and feet and throw me into my room, locking to door behind them.

I make myself sit up on the padded floor. I slowly work the gag off my mouth, once done I rip some of my feathers out of my wings as I slowly start to take of the straight jacket. After fully removing the straitjacket I limb into my hammock. Laying down my feathers cascade around me. I close my eyes as I feel the liquid working its way through my body. The liquid will no doubt make me have nightmares of my past home, so once again I force myself to stay awake again. I feel my eyes falling though but I am too exhausted to do anything. Maybe this time there won't be the nightmares. As I feel myself drift off into a sleep well needed, an alarm sounds. Startled I make my way out of the hammock and towards my door. Before I can reach it though, a boy with short black hair and a white jumpsuit crashes into my room. I recognize him and I raise an eyebrow in suspicion. For a bit all we do is stare at each other befor he speaks.

"Freedom" is all he says as he runs out of the room. There is nothing else to be said, as I follow him out the door. We run down the hall where we are met by other people. One of them in a yellow jumpsuit and red hair come running at me. I quickly dodge before looking at the other Project.

"Foes?" I question him

"Friends, mistake." He speaks slowly to me, knowing I don't speak english well. He speaks to others there. I see a darker skin boy in red with what looks like water container things on him, another with black hair wearing a red shirt, mask, black pants, cape and a letter on his shirt. After the group finish their discussion Project turns to me.

"Outside. How? Fast." He asks in horrible Janovian. All I do is point to myself and run. I hear their footsteps behind me. We soon return to my "room". I point to the ceiling and make a fist then point again. Project understands me and punches the ceiling, eventually be breaks through to the vents. He makes his way up before helping me up. I lead the way to the main lobby on the first floor and we exit it. One of the boys fall and trip the sensor on the ground. An alarm goes off and robots come towards us. They fire at us but by then Project has started to destroy them. One of the robots go to hit one of Project's associates. I spread my wings pulling the boys behind me and the bullets hit my wings. I cringe in pain each time I'm hit, and even more when the boys behind me fight to get out to help Project. Eventually all of the robots are destroyed and we make our way out of the building, as some of the walls start to crumble.

The group high five each other was a group of oddly dressed group of adults make their way over to us. The groups faces drop when they see the adults. Project goes over to talk one but the adult leaves. Project returns to my side, and I grab his hand, He looks at me but doesn't pull his hand away. The adults make their way over to Project and I. They are speaking but I don't understand any of it. I look at Project for something, anything really.

"Life. Home. Freedom. New. Follow." is all he says to me. I nod at him as the world begins to fade. My knees feel weak and finally give, as the world becomes quickly black. I never feel the ground hit me though, but I feel wind on my face.
