The Forgotten Speedster

Finally!!!!!

I hear murmuring voices all around me, making me try and move only to find that I can't. I can't move a muscle, not even my mouth when wanting to scream for help. I can't remember anything, my name, my parents, even what I look like. Panic starts building up inside me as I struggle to move. 'Maybe I'm dead. No this isn't what heaven looks like. Right?' I hear the voices getting louder as my head starts to clear and remember everything. Dick Grayson.(I considered just putting just Dick but..... no... just no) My best friend. The last person I saw before being plunged into this black abyss. 'Wait one of the voices! It's his voice!' They start getting closer and closer until it sounds like they are standing right over me. I try to move again only for none of my muscles to obey my commands, again. Finger, up. Nope. Big toe, wiggle. Nope. Darn, I thought that would work. Then I hear it. The heart breaking sound of my little bird crying. 'I mean he is not mine. Not yet. I mean... never mind!' I listen closer to try and hear what they are saying.

"She is still alive! I know it!" Dick sobbed obviously not believing his own words.

"Dick. She flat-lined an hour ago. She is gone. I'm sorry." Bruce said with sadness in his voice. I didn't know Bruce cared that much, I'm touched.

"No. I said I would protect her. She can't be gone." He muttered softly.

"And you did a great job. In the end it was her decision to make." Bruce said probably hugging the boy wonder.

"But I should have noticed the poisoned drink and the weird lady. I should have focused more on my surroundings instead of her. What do I do Bruce? The girl that I have loved for years is dead and it is all because I couldn't protect her." He said sobbing harder. Wait. He loved me back all those years? Something then sparked in me, granting me a boost of energy.

"I should have died. Not her." He said. Bruce sounded like he was about to scold the boy when he was cut off.

"And let all of my hard work go to waste! I don't think so Birdie!" I said opening my eyes to the dark and dreary cave.

"Avery! Your alive!" Dick said appearing in my line of vision since I still couldn't move my head. His sapphire eyes sparkled from the fresh tears that flowed down his cheeks. He looked so happy and relieved that I was alive, making my heart swell.

"Yeah I'm alive and in tons of pain. Can one of you get some pain killers, please." I asked shutting my eyes in pain as a major headache arose in my head. Dick immediately ran off to get pain killers, and was back in a couple seconds with water and 2 white pills. He helped me sit up, propping two pillows behind my back to support me. I downed the pills and the water, quenching my dry throat, sighing in relief when the pain died down. I opened my eyes again to see a very happy looking Bruce and Dick in front of me.

"Okay. So, what happened." I asked as I slowly regained the feeling in my upper body.

"Well you have been a coma for two weeks and you flat-lined an hour ago. Speaking of which. How are you still alive?" Bruce asked slightly narrowing his eyes. I looked around the room at all the medical supplies practically littering the cave. Then I spotted it, the heart monitor which seemed to be still connected to me. I looked under my shirt to find them all disconnected from my body. I took them out from under my shirt and glared at the boys who both gave ashamed looks.

"Apparently they disconnected in all of the chaos." Bruce said with slight embarrassment showing on his face. 'Seriously?! The Batman forgot to check if the heart monitor was still connected.' Out of nowhere, a body started hugging me, and knowing who it was, I immediately hugged back, as he started softly crying into my ear.

"I thought I had lost you again." He muttered into the crook of my neck. I rubbed his back for a little bit before pulling him arms length away so that we were looking at each other. I looked at him with a stern look causing both Dick and Bruce's eyes to widen in shock.
