Heroes and Villains von CP (Season 1 Characters only) ================================================================================ Kapitel 1: Rules ---------------- "Come on guys! Lets go. Lets go. LETS GO!" Wally bounced up and down in excitement. "Jesus! Will you already shut up Kid Mouth." "Tss, not everybody is a moody bi-" Robin elbowed his best friend into the side. "Ouch man! What-" The boy just rolled his eyes under the masked and tugged Kid Flash along with the rest of the team into the training room. Black Canary was already waiting. "Hey Babe!" Wally greeted their blond teacher. "Ready for some one on one time with the Wallman?" No reaction. "Or some private tutoring in my mind?" He blinked suggestive. In favor of all present she ignored him again. "Today's lesson is about extending your stealth technique and improve your teamwork." Black Canary declared. "Therefor we gonna play a little game." Aqualad raised a questioning eyebrow, while Robin and Wally were smiling in anticipation. "First of all i will divide you into two teams: Hero and Villain. In order to win the game the heroes get 4 hours to capture the villain. When I come back and the villain is still captive they win, if not they lose." She explained. "They also need to bring the villain back here." Black Canary pointed at a dark rectangle on the floor. "If not they lose too. Heroes are Miss Martian, Aqualad, Superboy, Artemis." "Awesome!" KF grind widely from one ear to the other, before he high-fived his best bud in the most manly way. "Oh and Kid Flash. Robin you will be the villain." The speedster's face dropped immediately. Robins grin remained. "Since Robin is our only villain he get a head start from ..." She looked at the boy for a sec. "15 minutes." "I expect you to take the exercise serious. Everything is allowed. You can all use your powers freely. I'll be back at 2 pm with a special surprise for the winner. Have fun." Black Canary smiled and waved goodbye. "That doesn't sound fair, five against one." The Martian girl doesn't liked the idea of fighting against one of their friends very much. "You not gonna stand a chance Boy Wonder!" Artemis laugh confidently. "Rob?" Wally turned around just to find an empty spot next to him. "Damn I hate it when he does that..." "We need a plan." Aqualad started. "Kid Flash close the manual doors. Megan form a mental link. Superboy can you find something to...uh... contain Robin, after we catch him? Artemis, we're going to shut the zeta tubes down. Meet back here in 10 minutes." Everyone nodded. Kapitel 2: Ready, set, go! -------------------------- The Heroes assembled. "What now?" "We stay together and-" And Aqualad got interrupted by the light flickering of and on till it went finally down. "Looks like the game has started." Superboy pointed out the obvious as the shadows overtook the mountain. A creepy laugh echoed through the darkness. "I think someone got a hang of it. But~" Kid Flash pulled his infrared goggles down "Is not gonna work on me." "We need to turn the lights back on." Kaldur said. "Can't do that." "Why not?" Little Bats already overtook the monitor. "Oh..." "You think Robin hacked the main computer by now?" Everyone's eyes were directed toward Wally, which was kind of difficult cause of the darkness and stuff, but they tried their best. "Not sure. He might had not enough time to get into the control room yet...If, he would already reprogrammed the whole security system and believe me that's ain't gonna be pretty." "Hmmm...Is there a way to get the lights back on?" Kaldur asked the second time. Man he hated it to get ignored. "Yeah. We have to replace the fuses in the basement, than it should work again." "Good. I want you and Superboy to secure the control room. Stay in contact. The rest goes down wit me." "Nice way to put it." "Not funny Kid Dork!" "Aqualad, the door is looked." Megan informed. "Let me try." Spuerboy went past Megan. He lounged out and simply smashed the door in. Yay super-strength! A barely noticeable sound came from the door frame as a Batarang exploded next to his ear. "Superboy!" Megan screamed. "Are you all right?" "I am fine." The clone stated. Nonetheless holding his dizzy head, while he was getting up on his feed. "But I think the explosion messed with my super hearing. I just can't hear ...right." "It's okay Conner" Megan jumped in, sensing the discomfort of her teammate. "It will be back soon." "I hope so." "At least we know now that the Bird is serious." "He is always serious when it comes to training...or fighting crime...or playing video games." Wally said concerned. "But don't worry he always plays fair." "Since when are villains fair?" The question hung for a moment in the air. "Lets go." Kapitel 3: Distraction 1 ------------------------ "Supey! Less brooding more moving!" Wally stumbled slightly through the dark corridors of Mt. justice, checking from time to time if their were any signals of the villain they were currently after. Robin. "You can't be still grumpy about your ear-thingy?" "He placed a freaking Bomb next to my skull!" "Oh come on-" "And that was less than 5 minutes ago! I reserve all rights to still be angry!" Superboy exclaimed, as they reached the corner of the hallway. "Don't make me sing the 'Bad day song' from the Muppet's again" Kid Flash warned seriously. Suddenly Conner bumped in the back of the speedster. "Why did you stop?" Wally stepped to his left to revile the sight of a little candle and a lonely note placed on the ground. "Whats that?" Conner asked confused. "A trap." Wally replied smoothly. He picked up the hastily scribbled note and read out loud: "Bet you regret now you didn't took the ballet lessons. Lov~ Robin P.S.: One wrong step and you activate a chain reaction." Wally looked up to find the floor and walls plastered with happily blinking bombs. "Damn little..." KF muttered under his breath. "Thought you guys were friends?" Conner wondered. "Yeah, when he's on my side." Wally joked and run his fingers unconscious through his hair. Superboy didn't laugh. Kapitel 4: Confrontation ------------------------ "I hope the others gonna be fine." Megan said, trying to break the awkward silence between them, while they walked toward the basement. Aqualad had one of this lightning blades out holding it as heroic as you actually could hold an over sized flashlight. At least they were able to see now. "Oh come one." Artemis rolled her eyes in annoyance. "What should happen? The Boy Wonder is only human." The Atlantean had enough of the pointless conversation. He didn't want to risk an attack by Robin so early, especially not with the odds against them. "Megan the link." He reminded her. She nodded slightly. "Okay, I want you to concentrate and be careful. Robin might be only human, but-" Hahahahahahaha "Urgh, this laugh gives me the creeps!" "Shoot. I think he spotted us." "Really? What on earth made you think that?" "Well-" "Irony!" "Hey Boy Blunder" Artemis yelled into the darkness, still pissed about the upcoming headache. She really needed to get used to this psychic stuff. "How about-" "Ufff" "Artemis!" Megan screamed as the archer got hit. "Don't worry! Just go ahead!" "But-" "I am keeping him busy, so you guys can go and put the lights on. And after that we can capture him together! Right Kaldur?" The leader agreed mentally. "Oh come on Meg!" the archer thought, while feeling Megan's uneasiness all over her. "This is Robin we're talking about. R-O-B-I-N. Even if he's winning, and I am not saying that he does, what is he gonna do? Tickle me to death? He won't hurt me!" "Right... It's Robin." "We'll be back soon!" Aqualad said as he vanished and with him the light. Kapitel 5: Distraught --------------------- Fighting in the dark was never one of Artemis strong points. Actually she hated it, cause shooting arrows without a target was a big No-No in the archery business. Time to change strategy, the girl thought, as she went from distant too close combat. Well, that doesn't worked with Robin as opponent, she figured out seconds later. Artemis just got tossed around by the little bird like a toy. Driving back and forth. He was freaking playing with her right now. And it seemed like she was about to lose the game, as another hard punch hit her painfully in the stomach. Suddenly Artemis had an idea. She grabbed into her quiver and pulled an arrow with a signal light on top out. Green Arrow gave it to her, just in case she would be tossed from a ship and stranded on a lonely island. She never really got what that was all about, but for once Artemis was thankful for her weird mentor. The archer did what archers do best and just shot the damn arrow. Satisfied she watched the corridor lighten up in red, trying to remember everything of her surrounding. Just before the light went down the hero saw a dark shadow sticking out. Robin. Hahahahahahaha His laugh echoed again through the empty hallway. The light of the signal fire was only short-living, and there were no more than two arrows left with it. "Where are you?" She shouted frustrated. Nothing but deadly silence answered the young girls call. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Her rapid heartbeat and her unsteady breath was all she could hear. It was nerve-wracking. Than there was a rustling of clothes to her left. Artemis turned around and shot into emptiness. To her surprise the arrow bounced off a wall a few steps away from her. Great, she wasted an arrow and was trapped in a dead-end. The day was just getting better and better. Faint steps were growing louder, circling around its target. Nothing but thick darkness surrounded her, holding Artemis prison in her own rabbit howl. Than a cold breath was ghosting over her exposed neck and she screamed in fear. Panic overtook her instincts as she trashed out in all directions. Hahahahahahaha All logic was gone. She took her last arrow, but instead of shooting, Artemis lit it up in her hands and clung desperately on to the fading light. She tried to ignore the grimaces of the shadows on the walls. "It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine. There is nothing scary at all. It's just dark. Your not scared. Your not scared." she repeated over and over. The last arrow was flickering up and died quietly. And now she was scared. There was no denying it. Sacred of the darkness. Scared of the shadows. Scared of the silence. And most of all she was scared of being alone. "No. No! Nonono... I don't...I...please...no." Artemis sobbed, pressing her back at the solid wall behind her. She just wanted to see. Hands flowing fanatically over the cold stone in a hopeless search for a light switch. She knew for a fact that the light would most certainly not go back on, but just the thought of something she actually could try made her feel better. Artemis breathed in relief when she found it and pushed down. An electric shock went through her whole body, as she hit the ground. The last thing Artemis saw were Robins combat boots in front of her face. "...need to get traught." Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
