The Masks We Wear

Cry for Help

(A/N: Sorry it took so long to l update but here you go)
As Ame laid on the bed, she dreamt of her days back in the lab. The pain that she endured, the blood, tears and sweat she shed. But as she dreamt, she noticed that she couldn't move. In her other nightmares, she was always running but unlike the others, she couldn't move, not even wiggle her fingers. She was chained to the white cold metal lab table with Doctor rubbing on her. With every touch, he made her skin break and it began to bleed. The pain was unbearable. Her screams could not be heard. She cried and cried but none came to her aid.

The team had snuck out to find Doctor so they weren't there when Dinah came to take them to go see Ame. Doctor had escaped when the team last fought him. They were so worried about Ame that they forgot to capture Doctor and turn him in to the League.
"So I've been keeping taps on the Lab ever since..." Robin stopped,"...and it looks like there's movement in there. It might be him."
"Or another animal." Wally reminded him, for this has been the 3rd time this week that they've been back at the lab and it being a false alarm.
"Yea, well I fixed the problem with the motion sensors and it looks like it's him." Robin said as he narrowed his eyes at the speedster.
As they got off the ship, they looked to Kaldur for their next move. He hadn't said a word since he told the tale of his and Ame's fun night. He stared off into the distance as he thought back to how distraught Ame looked when they first arrived here.
Just come with me. You don't have to go in there. We can just go back.
He took a deep breath,"Let's look around."

Ame woke with a start. Her heart pounding out her aching chest as it also rung in her ear. Being on the white sheets triggered the memories and she screamed and kicked them off with what little energy she had. Her screams were dry and hurt to a point that it made her throat bleed. But at least her screams weren't silent. Dinah, a doctor and a nurse rushed in.
"Amethyst, Amethyst! You're ok, it's ok." Dinah grabbed the girl's face and held it in her soft warm hands.
"DINAH!" She spat causing blood to roll down her chin and into her hospital gown,"¡Ayuadame! Save me, por favor!"
Dinah rubbed the girl's head and tried to sooth her,"It's ok, Ame, you're ok. I'm here. He won't hurt you. I promise. He will never touch you again." Her voice wavered as she spoke and she choked on her tears.
Ame grabbed her and pulled her into a hug,"Please, please, please...Dinah, don't leave me...I'm sorry. Lo siento mucho."She looked up and saw the doctor and began to scream again,"¡Aléjate! ¡Alejarse de mi! Don't let him hurt me!"
Dinah shooed the doctor and nurse out,"They aren't gonna hurt you. They are here to help you."
Ame's heart slowed in pace and she began to calm herself. She whispered "I'm sorry" until she drifted into slumber in Dinah's arms.

"You will pay for what you've done!" Sian's words were deep and dark as he spoke to Doctor.
"Why do you protect that monster?! She evil!" He dodged one of Robin's bird-a-rangs, "Can't you tell from those demon eyes! That little devil was sent from hell to make us all burn!" He spat at the team,"She disguised herself to make her seem like she's an angel. She's dangerous you'll see! I'll help you see-"
Artemis shot an arrow into his foot causing him to stop his ramble,"You little-" he passed out from the pain.
"He can dish it but can't take it." Wally said as he handcuffed Doctor.
Connor's frown deepen as he looked at the despicable old man,"Let's just go and turn him in. I don't know if I can stop myself from pounding his face in."
M'gann frowned as well,"I think that's all of us, Connor."

They turned him in to Batman, who chewed their ears off for not listening to orders, for they were told to stay put. His frown then turned into a rare Bat-smile as he congratulated the team of their success of the capture of Doctor. His smile was brief for someone paged him, alerting him of Ame's awakening. He then told the team of the news and they all zetaed to the hospital.
Ame was shocked to see her friends when she opened her eye. They bought her chocolates, brownies, and 2 boxes of donuts for they knew that those were her favorites. Her stomach was too upset to eat so she let them, mainly Wally, eat her little treasures. She didn't talk much and only spoke small words. She looked better than what she looked like when she first arrived.
Her hair was fully pulled back so you could see that she didn't have a right eye and that it was stitched shut. Sian knew that her eyes were just like that and not because of what doctor recently did to her. She had a cast on, and was later was asked to have to it signed by the team. She still had some bruises but those were healing fast. Her hair was a mess but would later be fixed.
The team spent hours with her but she didn't really talk. It was only until it got dark that Dinah told the teens that they needed to leave.
But Kaldur needed to talk to her. So he left the Cave late at night and snuck in her hospital room. "Ame...", he whispered.
Her eyes flew open at the sound of someone in her room. She almost screamed but then she saw his eyes.
"We need to talk."
