I had been under for a minute, and got to a final panel, that had three holes, and three unattached wires. There was writing below the three holes, but it was in the Reach language. I looked up and down at the wires, and found nothing, not even colour coding that could help. All I had was three black wires, and three metallic holes.
I got out and looked at the clock. 1:30, 1:29, 1:28. And slowly depleting. I got to work counting in my head. 1:10, 1:09, I thought of the consequences if I got a wire in the wrong hole. I took one, and tried in the hole that was closest. 59, 58, 57, a small spark that continued when I put it against the metal and I knew it was the wrong hole. I tried the next one, a few sparks flying out from the wires on the bottom of the bomb. 47, 46, 45, I tried the last hole and nothing happened, so I knew it was the right one. I went to the second wire, and stopped to wipe of my head, which was sweating.
"Everyone, there is a bomb in the building! Please evacuate! Hurry!" I heard Jaimie and Gar yell simultaneously. 32, 31, 30, I grabbed the second wire, knowing that I wouldn't finish in time. I pushed it towards the one closest to it. Zap! It shot back, slashing me across the face. 26, 25, 24, I tried again, maybe that was an accident? Same response. It made a curve across the same cheek, making a small symbol. 10, I shoved it into the other hole, 9, I grabbed the other wire and shoved it into that hole, only to get flying sparks everywhere. 8, 7, what?! I screamed in my head. I obviously wasn't going to get it. 6, 5, I got out of the bomb and looked frantically around for the staircase. 'Three, two," the machine droned. My cape! "1." I jumped onto my bomb resistant cape to hold it down, and the bomb exploded, sending me crashing into the roof, and blacking out.
^---time jump---^
I suddenly felt consciousness pull me awake. I opened my eyes, feeling something stiff on three of my limbs. I saw Robin glaring a me. I moved a bit, and he looked hopefully at me.
"Why am I here!? What am I doing here!?" I yelled, and started to struggle through my strung up leg, realizing the reality of what was happening. I had a broken arm, and both legs were broken. I struggled sommore, before three more people came in and I realized that I wasn't in the cave, but a house.
"Settle down would you?!" I heard Robin. He didn't sound like my Robin, he sounded like my brother.
"Veronica!" I heard one, an he sounded like the right one, he sounded like Tim.
"Tim! Where the hell am I!? I can't work like this!" I struggled Damian off of me and went to stand, only to be pinned down by the one with blue eyes, he was, Dick Grayson? I looked around, immediately recognizing Dami, and Dick, and Tim.
"Green arrow, this is Darkness, she, doesn't have a home, and she's very good with a knife." Red explained to his mentor. He looked me over, and gave an approving nod.
"You good with a bow?" He asked, and I nodded. He left the room for a minute, and when he came back he threw a deep purple bow in my direction.
"What's this?" I asked.
"You start tomorrow."
"Who's this?" I pointed to the man with grey stripes in his hair, and he pointed to himself.
"Dark, this is Jason Todd, you've been out for about three months, you have severe burns, two broken ribs, and three broken limbs that don't want to heal, are you going to be alright? I know your a workaholic, but please just stay there and rest." Tim told me, and I struggled some more, using my one good limb to push Dick Grayson off of my arms.
"I need to do something, I can't just sit her-" I was cut of, slurring because of the sleep drug that had been injected into my arm.
I had been working at the target for a while, and Ollie was letting me on my first mission, which was a bank robbery. I stalked on the roof of the building, awaiting further order.
'Okay, just catch the criminal, and leave him for the cops, okay?' I heard through the earpiece.
"Got it." I replied, and shot an arrow with a string attached, using my bow as a Handel and riding it like a zip line. I landed in silence on the roof, sliding down the backside of the large, concrete building, and entering through the vent. I landed in a small broom closet, which didn't make sense to me. I opened the door to see a black ski mask criminal handing money out to his colleagues. I shot four arrows, and webbing came in between them, and they caught two of the criminals, I shot a shocking arrow at the main man, and by this time, there was only one guy left, and he was a body guard.
"So what's a pretty little item like you doing here, huh?" The large, muscley man asked.
"I've got orders to bring you down." I said.
