Accused (YJ fanfic.) book two

A senseless slaughter of songbirds

Warning. This is a very sad chapter.

My lungs hurt like bitch. Who am I kidding, my everything hurt like a bitch. Bruce, Robin and I had formulated a plan to get Wally out we just needed to put it into action. Apparently Joker forgot about one of Dick's weapons and left it in his boot. Stupid mistake on his part. Also the energy pulse on my arm wore off.

We got the cuffs off with said weapon which happened to be a small throwing knife and I ripped off my cuffs. Next we had to get to our gear and hightail it out of here. Four words. "Easier said than done."

It would be harder now because of Wally and me. I tried to convince the dynamic duo to just leave me behind but they wouldn't have it. "Robin, it's the only logical choice!" I said arguing with him yet again. "Well screw logic I'm not leaving you with this-this psychopath!" Robin shouted quietly.

"Wally may survive if you get him medical attention quickly." Our argument was cut short. "We don't have time for this!" Bruce said. "We leave now. All of us." He said looking sternly at me and Dick.

"Let's go." He said and picked up Wally. Dick sneaked out the door first with me limping behind him. My leg wound was not appreciated. "Okay. Coast clear." Dick said and gestured for us to go ahead. I limped to a steel door and broke it open with my metal arm.

"Here." I handed everyone their stuff and put bandages from Bruce's utility belt on Wally's really bad wounds. Looking around I found a bow and picked it up. It looked kinda like Artemis's and I clutched it tightly.

"Let's go." I said grabbing a quiver with arrows. "That your new weapon?" Bruce asked me. "Yep." I said not engaging the conversation further. Walt groaned and I sighed in relief. He was at least alive.

"Come on Wally. Just hold on." Bruce muttered under his breath. He hurried along the hallway until we made a sharp turn. There was the door! We rushed towards it but our escape was cut off by the Joker.

"You guys go on. I'll deal with him." Bruce said handling Wally to Dick. "No. Bruce you said we all get out." I protested. "She's right Bruce. You said that we all we leaving. That includes you." Robin said. "This is why you're my son." Bruce said smiling down at Dick.

"Don't you know it's rude to leave without saying goodbye!" Joker laughed. "Goodbye." I retorted and Bruce threw three bat-a-rangs at the Joker. They hit Joker and he was pinned to the wall. We rushed past him and right as we were in the doorway a gunshot sounded. And I fell.

But I wasn't hit. So who was? I felt weight on my back and I was pinned beneath something. "DICK!" I heard Bruce scream and my heartbeat sped up and I couldn't breath. I felt a warm sticky substance trickle down my neck and drip into the ground. I struggled under the dead weight and eventually got it off. It made a sickening 'thud' sound.

I heard the whistling sound of a bat-a-rang and the hit as it killed the Joker.

I spun around only to confirm my worst fear. "NO! PLEASE NO!" I screamed as I saw Dick's lifeless body. Bruce was crying had dropped Wally on the ground. "I said that we would all get out." Bruce said to the dead, broken boy his voice cracking at the end. "At least he's with his family now." I said tears streaming down my face.

I picked up Dick's body and Bruce picked up Wally. We slowly began our journey to nowhere. We needed to give Wally medical attention but there was only so much that Bruce and I could do. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I failed. That the world isn't perfect that you had to give your life to save mine." I was talking to Dick as we walked. Bruce was walking beside me. I had filled h in on the JL problem andhe had been silent since. "Bruce-"

"Wally's dead." Bruce said and I stopped walking. "What?" Was all I could get out. Another dead. Because of me. "When?" I asked. A while ago. I didn't want to tell you, tours already carrying so much." Bruce said stopping too and looking at me sadly. I burst into tears and just collapsed. Dick crumpled in front of me and I felt a cape surround me. I looked up and Bruce gave me a comforting smile but tears leaked out of his eyes as well.

"I'll take care of you." Bruce promised and wrapped me in his embrace snd I sobbed into his dark knight uniform. "We need to keep going." Bruce said suddenly but too late. Superman appeared and I turned my face into an emotionless mask.

"Wait. When we fought Captain Marvel, he disappeared like a hologram when I showed empathy. Maybe it'll work again." I though out loud. "Maybe." Bruce said and turned to face Superman. Everything fell still. "Clark. What are you doing?" I heard Bruce ask. I remained in the ground holding both boy who had turned their lives over to death.

"Bruce? But-but you're dead." Superman said bewildered. "Obviously not." Bruce said. "I'm sorry Vertis." Superman said and he slowly disappeared. "Bruce!" I warned but was too late. Doctor fate had come and he bathed us in golden light and everything changed.
