"Here I go again."
ABBA, Mamma Mia

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I was panicking.

Panicking isn't going to help right now...

Well, what do you want me to do, fry some burgers?!

"Shady?" Asked Zatanna. "You look... Very pale."

I blinked, "Oh, don't worry. I'm absolutely fine!" I began to hyperventilate.

Seriously, Brookston?

"Shades, calm down," Robin instructed me, shaking me by the shoulders.

"Ok," I mumbled. Then my face turned white. "Fu-"

"Language," Robin pointed out.

I winced, before continuing, "If Natasha gave me the cure, then what if they find out that she's not under control? Then she will be! Bollocks!"

"Shady! Stop panicking!"

He shook me so hard, our foreheads banged together. We both stumbled back, a little dazed, both clutching our temples. He smiled apologetically at me, and I offered a shy one in return. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the others observing us, Zatanna looking slightly annoyed.

Oh, so it's gonna be like that, huh?

Damn, well it's on.

"Recognized, Black Canary, B14."

"Oh no," I muttered, as she came through.

"Are you guys ok- what are you doing to Red Tornado?! It looks like you're transferring his CPU into his other body!"

"And that would be precisely what we're doing," Wally answered.

Oh, well DONE, Wallman!

The other RT suddenly shot up, from the metal table he was on, and yelled, "Team, get out of the cave! Now!"

Oh God.

Black Canary did her special attack, which I think is called a Canary cry. It was extremely loud, and the rest of us put our hands over our ears, to halt the noise somehow.

"We should go!" Wally yelled over the din.

Oh, you don't say!

"And just leave Black Canary?" Argued Zatanna.

If, you want to die, be my guest!

"We're going to have to take her out!" Robin said, unrationally agreeing with her.

"Alright! Shades?" Wally asked.

"Are all of you asking to die?! This is the bloody definition of suicide! You want to get yourselves killed, nobody's stopping you!" I shrieked. There was a rather awkward silence.

"You said I could have my opinion in this team!" I shouted, "I'm just stating my thoughts! I knew nobody cared," I mumbled, folding my arms.

"No! That's not what-"

"Oh screw this!" I cried, throwing a shocker at Black Canary and instantly knocking her out. "Well, that was easy," I mumbled, rushing over to her, to check for any injuries.

"Quick thinking Shady," Robin commented, running over, and beginning to tie up Black Canary.

"You need it for this job, huh?" I answered.

"Or you won't last for more than a minute," Robin laughed, holding his hand up for a high five. I gladly obliged.

"As much as I'm shipping this," Wally eyed me at the last two words, "we should go, before more leaguers come!"
