Night Of the Huntress - DISCONTINUED

Part 7

Wally POV

He woke up in the medical wing of the watchtower. He reached for the back of his head. It hurt.

The girl from the hallway, Artemis's protégée was sitting in the only chair in the room. Sharpening a sword.

"Has anyone ever told that having a sword here is very unhygienic?" he asked his voice hoarse, How long has it been since he had a drink? The girl just smiled and continued to sharpen the blade.

They sat in silence until she put her sword back in its sheath, stood up and poured a glass of water.

"You must be hungry" she said. Thinking about food made his stomach twist in hunger.

"yeah, I could eat" he replied.

She then opened the door and asked Dick to get four plates of food. Who was having the other three? Right now, I only feel like eating one plate.

Soon Dick came back with the food. He gave one plate to me and set the rest on the table, where Diane, he heard her being called, was sitting. Wally was then talking to Dick for a while before Dick had to go out on league business. Nightwing and Tigress were the only heroes from the team to join the league since he had been gone.

Thinking of Artemis, he looked back at her sidekick who had just finished the third plate of food.

"You eat just like me!" he exclaimed

"Well, I wouldn't be surprised" she said smiling "we have the same ability"

"So you are a speedster. How did you get your power?"

She looked down to the floor and Wally was worried that he said something wrong. But then she started to speak.

"I never knew my father, left before I was born and was presumed dead, I don't think he even knows that I am alive. And my mother was paid good money to give me away. I don't know who had me but they replicated the experiments used on speedsters, I was only 7 was Artemis came and infiltrated the HQ they kept me in, she noticed my speedster abilities and knew that I had to be trained. She then took me in as Huntress after her mother who died that year. Recently Sportmaster had attacked and cornered me with a civilian, releasing a gas that will increase any speedster abilities by 50% making me faster than the Flash himself. I was only told that this morning."

Little did he know that there was an earpiece in Diane's ear telling Tigress exactly what the cover story was.

Huntress stood up to leave. "Where are you going" he asked

"To the race"

"Wait, you going to the race?" he said
