Kid Flash's POV
I stare at my hands in the BioShip. I tried to warn Artemis about Nikki, but she refused to listen. Maybe it's better if she doesn't know in case Jason lied to me. Jason told me that Nikki seemed to be in a trance after aruging, and that her voice sounded completely different.
Everyone is talking quietly amongst themselves. I risk a glance at Artemis. She is sitting next to Nikki, but not listening to her speak.
She's thinking., I tell myself silently. Suddenly she jumps up and points her loaded bow at Nikki.
"You." she spits, venom dripping in her voice. Nikki looks startled and Jason jumps to her side. "What are you doing Artemis?" he exclaimss, standing in front of Nikki. "She was there." Artemis answers angrily. "She watched Wally get tortured!"
I widen my eyes as I realize she's right. I remember when Cheshire had kidnapped me and tortured me there was a girl. Just before I had passed out, I caught the a glimspe of her face. I can't believe I didn't recognize her!
"Artemis, I think you are confused." Diamond says, stepping into the argument. "No I'm not!" she yells. "Nikki was there! What was it? Did my father dearest get so desperate he had to use you?"
Nikki narrows her eyes. "So I watched your boyfriend bleed and cry out for you. Big deal."
Jason steps away from her, hatred burning in his eyes. "Big deal?" Artemis explodes. "[/i]Big deal[/i]?! How would you take it if the one you loved was being tortured? How would you like it!?"
Artemis lunges for Nikki, grabbing her by the neck of her costume. I jump up and place my hand on Artemis' shoulder. She glances at me and I see the tears in her eyes. "I made a mistake!" Nikki cries out. "I couldn't control it!" Aqualad jumps up too. "Artemis, you have to finish this later. We are approaching your and Kid Flash's drop-zone.
I squeeze Artemis' shoulder and take her hand. "Let's go." I whisper, pulling her away from Nikki. "This isn't over." Artemis seethes at her. I grab her and jump out of the BioShip.
"Wally, I'm sorry." Artemis whispers to me. I pull her under a shaded tree and look at her gray eyes. "Artie, I never would have been able to restrict myself like you did. I'm just so happy you love me that much." She looks down at her feet. "I always will." she murmurs. I crack a grin. "Sorry, what was that?" I ask sarcastically. I expect a hit, but I get a kiss instead. "I said I always will." she whispers, resting her forehead against mine. Her eyes are only full of love and seriousness.
"I LOVE ARTEMIS CROCK!!" I yell as loud as I can. "Wally, what are you doing?!" she exclaims as a flock of songbirds takes off from the tree. "Proclaiming my love for you, babe."
A crackle in my ear piece brings a smile to both of our faces.
"Hey Kid Mouth," says a voice. "What the hell are you doing? We heard you all the way at drop-zone D!" I smile. "Robin, bro, just announcing my love for Artemis."
"Well don't. Because now Zatanna is looking at me expectanlty." he whispers. Artemis giggles and covers her mouth. "Roger that, Robin. Won't happen again." I laugh.
Artemis opens her mouth but a scream erupts from another drop-zone. "That sounded like it was from drop-zone B!" Artemis exclaims. She fumbles with her earpiece. "Sapphira! Luper! Do you copy! Sapphira!" I stare at Artemis. She shakes her head.
"Jason." I whisper. "Wally I'm sure he's fine."
I close my eyes.
"Weird voice. Trance. All triggered by an argument. Nikki." My eyes fly open. "Oh my god, Artemis!"
"What?" she asks. "What is it?"
"Nikki is the new Tigress."
Artemis' eyes wided and I pick her up.
"Oh my god..." she whispers.
I speed towards the scream.
Please be okay, Jason. Please.
