Mission Log: A Couple's Getaway

The clowngirl and the plant (3)

Artemis's p.o.v.

We all stared at Robin. I noticed the bruises on his hands but didn't question them. I knew he'd only do what had to be done. I stood up.

"Where is she?"

"Look," His computerpad lightend up and he showed us the ships ground plans. "Here, is an empty bunker, there's nothing I could find about it and it's not on the tourists maps,"

"Could be a staff room," Wally said. I shot him a glare. Robin continued, ignoring his comment.

"We should check it out, let's go," No one really wanted to say no to him but I had to agree with Wally, it could just be a staff room.

"Robin, we shouldn't just barge in the place. Let M'gann scout the place first. If we Don't our covers will be blown and who knows what will happen to Zatanna," Raquel said. Robin turned to her. Slowly taking a step towards her.

"Are you suggesting, I sit here? Do nothing? While Zatanna is out there! Hurt or worse!," We were all teen superheroes and all had our demons but I swear I could hear everyone in the room swallow. But before anything else could happen he stormed out.

"I''ll go talk to him,"  Wally said standing up but I held him back.

"No, I think I should,"  

Robin's p.o.v.

It didn't take them long to send someone after me. I would've expected them to argue at first, about rather or not to stop me. Unfortunately for me they already seemd to have made up their minds about it, even without M'gann psyhic connection. I knew they wouldn't send Wally, even though he would want to, they couldn't send M'gann, Conner or Raquel either. So my only two options were Kaldur and Artemis. But seeing how Artemis reacted in there it was probably her.

"Hey," I heard her say behind me. I found myself back at the bar. Without question this was the first place I walked to. No wonder those who suffer become drunks.

"Hey," She said down next to me. She orderd a water. When the bartender handed her the drink she grabbed a straw and started stirring. She went on like that for two minutes.

"What are you doing? It's water, the only thing you're doing is messing with the moleculs,"

"It calms me,"

"So, you're not here to tell me how I should stick with the team and not make any reckless decisions,"

"Oh I know you will, so that's hopeless. The thing is are you willing to put Zatanna's life in one hero hands or seven?" She got up and looked at me one more time.

"We will find her and make sure the basterds who took her pay for it," She flung her blonde hair over her shoulder and walked away. I could see why Wally loved her, even if he didn't want to admit it.

M'gann's  p.o.v.

We were all really sorry for Robin and sad ourselves. Artemis had returned a few minutes saying he just needed time to accept he couldn't save her himself and would come to us and we'd figure something out. How could she expect us to sit and wait. She Might be his girlfriend but she's our friend too.

"What should we do? We can not just sit here and do nothing," I said.

"What do you propose we do? We can't encourge Robin to-," Artemis's eyes widen when she said that.

"Didn't you have a psychic connection to Zatanna as well M'gann? Do you think you can find her like that? "

"I can try," I put my index fingers to my temples. I searched the ship for any sign of Zatanna. At first I didn't feel anything at all but there was soomehing else that caught  my attention. It was as if something was clouding my telekenises. Trying to hide something. And most importantly it all seemed to come from the hidden room Robin discovered. 

Zatanna's p.o.v.

"Don't tell me you're doing this to take revenge at loving couple's, just because Harley got her heart broken by a sick psycopath, again," Ivy stared through the bars of my cage right  at me. 

"Of course I wanted to help dear Harls, but yes, you are right, there are bigger fish at play here that need me down here. Don't be bothered with it little girl. II was once like you, innocent yet strong, and look what they did  to me. Made me a villian. Oh  well, there is nothing more fun than a little green covering a gravyard is there?"

What was she talking about? What didn't batman tell us? Or what hadn't he known from the mission at the beginning...

"Well dear, let's take the trash out,"  She opened a barred door and her vines lifted Todd  limpless body. I'd been trying to forget all about it forr hours. They'd left him with me. Blood had flooded over the floor, slowly creeping towards me. It was terrifying. There was no spell to bring him back. No chance I had of saving him when he was so close. How could I let that happen. I couldn't save a simple person, even if they were right in front of me. Just like my father. Something clang and it snapped my attention back to Ivy. She'd hit Todd's head to one of the bars.

"What are you doing?" I shouted. 

"Wouldn't want you to sit with the smell darling," She carried him out with her vines and closed the cell. 

"Plus, he's the main course tonight," She winked in my direction. "Don't worry there will be room for dessert,"
