ALICE

Chapter Fifteen

A/N Song is Never Be Alone by Shawn Mendes

Wally's POV

God, I want Artemis back. I miss her so much already. I'm infuriated with the League for giving her and Chesh up to their dad and Joker. I want to go and save her, but I can't. We don't know where they are. Roy's furious, too.

Arty told me about how Sportsy had trained her and her sister mercilessly since they were little, and how he mentally and emotionally abused them on a regular basis. It disgusted me.

And now they're back with him. I can't imagine what he's doing to them. I don't want to. Neither does Roy. The only thing we want is our girlfriends back.

I hope that they will remember that we love them, no matter what their dad says to them. Their mother isn't the only one who cares about them anymore. Well, other than Catwoman, who apparently took a liking to them years ago.

I walk outside to the beach and sit look up at the stars. I sit down and stare up, and though I haven't done this in years, I pray. That if there really is a God up there, he will protect those two girls with all of his mighty power.

Roy's POV

"Hey, Wally," I say, walking up to him. I sit down on the sand beside him. "Are you ok?"

"Are you?" He snaps back. I sigh and lie back, looking up at the stars. They're so pretty. Not as pretty as my amazing girlfriend, though. I want her back more than anything. I hope that she remembers that.

'I'll be there soon, Jady. I promise. No matter what, I'll get you out of there.'

"No," I say. "I want my girl back." Wally lies on the sand, too, and nods.

"Do you think they'll be ok?" He asks.

"As long as the Light doesn't find out that Arty's a spy now and that Jade told us that you're a clone, they'll be fine."

"And if they do find out?"

I don't even bother to sugarcoat it, since he'll know that I'm lying. "Then our girls are toast."

A/N It's short, I know. I'm sorry about that. But I'm really in a writing mood today (obviously), so I wanna put as much stuff down as possible. I've also decided to finish this by tomorrow at most, so I'll have the part of the weekend where I'm not busy having fun to brainstorm ideas for Artemis and Apollo. I'm hoping to publish at least the prologue of A&A by Monday night. So, I'm busy. I'm so glad that you're taking some of your time to read this book. Thanks so much!
