Chapter 12: A Killer
I am I killer. There's no denying that. When you face the facts, I kill everything in my path. My real parents are dead because of me, countless innocent people, and well, myself. I am I killer.
"Amelia." Artemis tapped my shoulder. I shook me head from the hazy thoughts.
"Huh?" I looked sound ad found myself in The Cave. What was I doing again? Oh, yes, nothing. "What do you want?"
"Your face was all scrunched up." Artemis smirked. "It was kinda funny looking."
"Shut up." I grumbled, but gave a small smile. As we talked, ear bleeping alarms shrieked from every speaker.
"What the heck?" I bellowed over the noise.
"The Cave is under attack!" We both jumped to out feet and raced off. We found Robin, Kaldur and Superboy in the halls.
"Where's the intruder?" I turned to Robin.
"Garage!" He pointed down the hall and we all raced after him. I slid on my bracelets and changed forms. I flew over the heads of the others.
"I see him!" I pointed and raced as fast as I could towards the man. But when I saw his face I nearly crashed into a wall. Seth.
"What?" M'gann had joined the group now, flying towards me.
"Nothing." The face of Seth was gone replaced by Molten. I faced my palms outwards at him and fired. A wall of lava blocked the attack, but I wasn't aiming to hurt. What if this is all a test? I fired again.
"Come on Silver!" Sighed Artemis below.
"You try shooting trough lava!" I sneered. During our little argument, Molten made a move.
"Silver look out!" M'gann shouted. On instinct I stopped and swerved out of the way from the line of fire. If I hadn't, the top of my hair would be gone.
"That was close." I mumbled, turned to face Molten and engaged in battle.
I couldn't focus. Even if it was the whole team against one guy, it seemed we couldn't do anything. I would fire, but I would miss. The battle was agonizingly long and I was growing tired and weak.
"Artemis!" I gasped and pushed her out of the way of a blast of lava. The pain exploded in my sided and my vision went black.
Stars danced across my vision when I came to. I was on the floor. My hearing seemed to have stopped. When it returned I heard only one thing.
"Amelia!" It almost sounded like Seth.
"Seth...?" I questioned before blacking out again.
