Night began to fall, street lights lit up and five shadows hid behind the walls of...
"A church?" Wally whispered a chocolate bar in his mouth. Artemis nudged him. Robin nodded.
"Makes sense. Why would an evil villain go to a church?" The teenagers crept carefully to the entrance of the church. "Locked!" Robin struggled with the locks. "I could probably pick the locks-"
"Don't worry about that!" Conner stepped up to the doors and pulled it apart.
"Or he can just do that" Robin put his lock picker devise back in his utility belt and followed the others into the pitch black room.
It felt like hours as they walked forward together. "This could be a trap" whispered a voice.
"Yes. It could but if we turn back now we wont get to Klarion" whispered another.
"Anyone have a flashlight?" another whispered. "Right here in my belt" He started to grab it until....
CRASH!!!
The floor collapsed sending the heroes into icy cold water.
"What the hell?!?!" someone screamed struggling to calm down.
"Shut up Wally. Its just another stupid trick of Klarion to make us scared" Artemis bravely said floating on a piece of wood.
"I guess it already worked" joked Superboy. The team laughed. Wally stopped swimming.
"No one remembers do they!" The team glanced at each other shivering and bobbing up and down in the water. They shook their heads.
"What? Is it your potty time?" Artemis squealed. The team laughed. Wally slapped the water with his hand.
"I can't believe I'm the mature one here!" Everyone froze and stared at him. He was panting loudly under an emotion of desperation and anger.
"When Robin, Artemis and I went to the underwater cave, we were attacked by a giant octopus!" Conner and Megan gasped.
"What. Like that one?" Conner pointed behind Wally. Huge orange eyes stared down at him.
"No sudden movements Wally" Robin warned him slowly taking a batarang from his utility belt.
"No Robin don't make it angry!" Wally cried but he was too late. The batarang flew over his head and exploded between the eyes of the octopus. Wally closed his eyes expecting a loud groan. The octopus did nothing. Megan gasped.
"Its sad."
"What?" Artemis turned to her. She was reading the octopus's mind.
"Its behind a glass shield strong enough to hold her." Wally opened his eyes. "But why?"
"Daddy put me here. I do wrong thing" Wally was nearly startled to death as the octopus spoke. "No one like me. Only use me for work!" The octopus grew with anger.
"I'm guessing Klarion is your daddy?'' Robin asked. The octopus groaned.
"Yes. Well I think so. He is so small and Mummy is so big. How can Mummy love him!!!" Robin shook his head.
"Klarion isn't your Daddy"
"He is not?"
"No. I'm guessing he brain washed your Mummy and did something to your real Daddy"
"Or a love potion could be involved" Wally interrupted.
"Wally" Artemis said.
"Yeah?''
"Shut up"
"A love potion?'' the octopus asked. "I think I saw one in Daddies, I mean Klarion's office"
"Could he be in there?" Conner asked clenching his fists in the water.
"Guys could you hurry I'm getting a little cold here!" Wally complained. The team groaned.
"Is he always like this?" the octopus asked.
"Yes. Yes he is" Artemis glared at him.
"Daddy is always there if he is here. Sometimes he brings his friends over to play"
"Where is this office?" Robin asked.
"At the top of the church. Turn to the left of the bell and you will be at a dead end. A secret door will appear if you push the right block. Sadly I don't know where it is." Conner looked down at the water. The octopus stared at him. "Don't try to break through it. I tried. You will get hurt." Robin nodded and took out his grappling hook.
"Thanks for telling us and we promised, we will stop your Dad, i mean Klarion from hurting you." He took hold of Conner and up they went back onto the floor boards of the church.
"We'll search for a light switch" Robin announced back to the others. He ran off with Conner. Wally turned to the octopus.
"What are we going to do? We can't just leave her here."
"Go" Megan said.
"What?" Artemis got off the piece of floating wood. "No. Were not leaving you here"
"Well I am." Wally leaped up for the edge of the floor boards. He had trouble getting up.
"Go. I can take care of myself" Megan said sternly.
"But what are you going to do?" Artemis asked not leaving her eyes of Wally.
"Go. Help Wally. I know you want to." Artemis raised an eyebrow.
"Ugh! Fine" She jumped up to the edge of the floor board and once she got up she helped Wally up.
"Thanks bea- i mean Arty" she looked down at Megan.
"Don't worry. I'll be right behind you!" Megan shouted back at her. The lights shot open. The beam of light shone above the teenagers. In the distance, Conner and Robin were at the stairs of the church. They started running up.
"Race you two!" Robin shouted back. Wally smiled. Artemis was startled as Wally picked her up.
"Now I have some place to run!" He sped off after the other two.
Megan looked at the octopus.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out"
