We Live to Fight! {Young Justice & Avengers Crossover}

Nightmare

Amber slowly walked into  the dark  Manor and went straight to her room. Her shirt was covered in blood, along with the rest of her body. She walked into her bathroom shaking as she turned on the water.  She washed her hands which resulted in getting the whole sink bloody and now she had to clean it up and get rid of the clothes she was wearing. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and saw what Hydra created her to be- a killer. 

She then got in the shower and turned on the hot water.

What had she done?

The scene of what had occurred earlier played over and over again in her head. She had just killed Baron and Nathan and severely injured Natalie and Natasha. If Natasha goes to Fury and reports what happened during the mission who knows what they plan to do with her. 

"Two simple words and I was under their control again. " Amber thought as she rested her head against the cold marble wall. "Two." She reminded herself. 

She could be stopped and under their influence again if it wasn't for Natasha who went as far as shooting her in the leg to snap her out of it. Of course, it hurt like hell but she was glad Nat went that far if not who knows what else she could have done.  Once she changed into different clothes she placed the bloody ones into a plastic bag and cleaned the sink. 

It wasn't that dark but it was certainly dark enough to stop Amber from going anywhere to get rid of the clothes. She knows Gotham is a very dark place and that she shouldn't be going out late at night. So she waited until the morning when she knew Bruce would be asleep. 

She sneaked out of the house and went to dispose of the evidence by throwing it in a body of water. She added a heavy rock in the bag to make sure that it would stay at the bottom of the lake and not raise up again to haunt her. Amber watched as the bag disappeared into the darkness  and once sure it was gone for good she left. 

Little did she know Barbara and Kara were there to witness the whole thing. They walked up to the place Amber was just a minute ago and looked down into the water. 

"What do you think she through in there?" Barbara asked curiously. 

"A bag full of clothes," Kara answered  as she looked into the water. 

"Clothes? That's a weird way to get rid of clothes."

"I know but the answer is why did she get rid of them?" Kara questioned.

  Amber didn't sleep at all the night before because she kept waking up from horrible nightmares that felt so realistic. It had been two days since the killing and the whole team seemed to notice the change in atmosphere. The jet black cat better known as Loki had gone back to earth leaving Amber to complete her mission alone. She had all the information she needed and  all she had to do is wait until the light makes the first move. She became more distance and violent in her fighting style once again leaving the team wondering what on earthing was going on. 

She would have  killing icicle jr if Nightwing didn't intervene and pulled Amber of him and cuffed her hands. She easily broke them and give icicle jr one final glare before leaving. That was the last cord and Nightwing along with the rest of team decided to talk to her about her recent violent fighting style. 

Amber was approached by Zatanna, Nightwing, Batgirl, KF, And Artemis while she was stabbing the punching bag. 

"Wow, what did the bag do to you?" Artemis asked sarcastically. Earning a glare from Amber as she pulled the knife out of the punching bag and making some the sand spill out. 

"What is it that you want?" Amber asked as she slipped the pocket knife into her boot.

"Amber your fighting style is worrying us. You might go too far and end up killing someone." Wally explained.

"I know it bit more violent than before and I'm sorry. I'll try my best to force myself to bring it down a tad."

"Thank you," Nightwing replied and Amber just nodded her head as headed towards the sandbag once again. She pulled out her knife and started to stab it as if  it were a human being and suddenly stop and grasped her head. She quickly took a few steps backward as her hands slowly found their way to her ears and covered them. 

Adeline! Someone shouted in her head. It was a voice she heard once before in her nightmares. 

"Stop it," Amber whispered mostly to herself.

Adeline! The shouting became louder and all Amber wanted to do is close her eyes but if she did the nightmares will return. 

The six teammates looked at each other not really knowing what to do. Wally left in search for Megan to see if she could be any help. Nightwing tried to claim Amber done but it was no use.

Amber closed her eyes and the darkness returned.
