To Save A Shadow ( A Young Justice/ Dick Grayson story) *COMPLETED*

  (Edited)

I jump up and send a roundhouse kick to the dummy. It flies back and I wipe some sweat away. The fight was a mere 30 minutes away so I take a shower, braid my hair and pull on my uniform. I stick my mask on and take a breath.

The fight is happening now, there is no stopping it. I step forward and take a deep breath. "Come back in one piece ok?" Wally says hugging me "and bring my boy back" he says making me laugh

"Good luck" Kaldur says giving my hug.

"Beat his a-" M'gann pinches his arm and he stops "butt" he finishes and I laugh slightly

"I believe in you" M'gann smiles hugging me

"Remember how to use this" She says pointing at my shrunken up bow. I nod and give her a hug.

"Bye guys!" I wave and step into the zeta tube.

My pulse was racing faster than Wally could run. I spot Dick bound by his hands hanging a few feet in the air. I nearly break at the sight. I blink away the anger and pull out my staff.

"Welcome" Dr.D smiles coming out no where.

"Hello" I sneer and he laughs

" After you left...I worked on something just for you"

"Really? I worked on something for you... it's called a can of whoop ass!"

"Fight starts now!" He says impatiently no t finding my joke funny and someone drops from the ceiling. I narrow my eyes and roll my shoulders back.

"To chicken to fight me Doc?" I shout but he doesn't answer as the thing munges at me

The figure was in all black and moved swiftly, it sent punches and kicks but I blocked most of them.

"Give up?" The crackling voice asks and I shake my head

"Never!" We go at it again clinking weapons. It shoves me backwards and I turn my staff into a bow pulling out an arrow. I send it flying and it catches it off guard sending it flying backwards. I smirk and continue shoot. Until it sends a knife my way. I knock it away with my bow but it slices it in two. My eyes widen in surprise as it pounces on me. I cry out as I hit my head. Robins shouts could be heard but I ignore them as it sends punches to me.

I reach up taking a fist full of mask. I yank it off and gasp as brown hair tumbled out and my eyes stare back at me.

It was me. I was fighting a clone. I narrow my eyes and anger builds up. He cloned me? He thinks he can get away getting cloning me?

I muster up everything I had and let out a large scream. Pulsating waves exit my mouth as I scream at my clone and slowly her skin flies away revealing an Android. I smile, I don't have to hold back. I collect the knife from my boot and run up swing my legs around her neck and flip her down. I sit on her chest my legs still around its throat as I stab it's head.

A loud buzzer sounds as Robin drops down. Dropping the knife I fall to the side, I won. I rush over to him and he smiles at me.

"Arianna Hathaway I like you so much more than a friend!" He whispers and I smile helping his weak body up, he was nearly unconscious. I walk out the door only to see Dr.D.

"You won?" He says in disbelief and I smirk

"Yes, yes I did!"He shakes his head and pulls out a trigger. My eyes widen as a loud beep comes from Robin. I move away his cape and see a bomb is attached to him...I whip my head

"You asshole" I spit and he laughs

"You think I would let you and Robin get away? No no no" I slowly let Robin to the floor as he rubs his head. I pull out the staff and twist it. He laughs bitterly.

"I am holding the key to you boyfriends life and you want to test me" I nod and he smiles

"Fine I will humor you, go for it"

With those words, me and him danced around I threw punches and kicked and jabs. Finally after I knew my plan was a go I allow myself to be throw backwards.

"Fine" I say weakly standing up "you win"

"I always win! Don't you get it, now you amd Robin will come work for me"

"You were never gonna let us go were you?"

"You stupid child! Of course not, my serum runs through your veins" He says and I frown

"I didn't want this, why did you choose me? Why did you choose anyone!? We will stop you!" I say and he lets out a dry laugh.

"That's what they all said, but I know you amd I know this boy means everything to you, I can't allow him as a distraction, sorry dearie" he says clicking the button. The beeping quickens and I smirk.

"I know, I knew you would say that" He furrows his eye brows and feels his neck.

"What the-" The explosion goes off sending me flying backwards, landing next to Robin. I groan and feel my head...blood. I close my eyes and the sounds fade away.
