Chapter 18: The Riddler
*Safia's POV*
"Oh come on!" Wally yelled angrily throwing his arms up in the air.
"So, how'd you find me?" The Riddler chirped.
"Found you? How did you find us?!" Artemis yelled.
"What? The big man didn't tell you he stashed me away here after I blew up a bank in Gotham?" The Riddler cocked his hip out.
"Hey Rob, Where exactly did you find this island again?" I looked over at him, annoyed.
"Hehe... I maybe should've looked into it more" He bickered, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Should've?" Superboy asked in a angered tone.
After that moment, everyone started arguing all at once. I'm pretty sure no one could understand what anyone else was saying. I Just stood there trying to decipher what they were all even saying. I looked back to where the Riddler was currently standing, he was gone.
"Hey guys the Riddler is..." My voice immediately being overpowered by their's.
"Hey Guys!" I raised my voice a little.
"GUYS!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
"WHAT?!" They all yelled in unison.
"The Riddler is gone!" I pointed to the place he previously was.
They all sighed, and I believe I saw Superboy facepalm.
"We have to split up in groups and start looking for him" Aqualad suggested.
"Yea, of course, I'll take Frost, we'll go east" Artemis chimed in grabbing my wrist and dragging me away from the group.
"This is so stupid." I mumble.
"I know right, If i were you, I would have probably quit, I can tell that most of the people on this team drive you absolutely crazy." Artemis agreed.
"And when can I take this stupid cast off my arm!" I yelled in frustration picking at the cast.
"4 to 6 weeks..." Artemis nervously added.
"Ugh! This is so.. So.." I say frustrated trying to gather my words.
" Look what we have here! Miss Safia Rogers!" The Riddler said excitedly jumping out from behind a nearby tree.
"Who's that?" I choke out.
Artemis just gave me that look, like she knew the Riddler was telling the truth.
"Why? Isn't that your name?" He questioned with a huge smirk on his face.
"No, my name is Frost!" I correct him.
"Oh Well. But anywayssssss Why did you go all light side? Did the Big bad black bat get to your head?" He smiled at me.
"No! " I blurted out.
"They why Don't you join me! This side is much more fun anyways!" He offered.
I stood there for a few seconds. Thinking, I couldn't believe i was actually considering this.
"We'll treat you much better anyways! I see how they treat you. They have no respect for you!" He yelled.
"I- I.." i started.
I wasn't able to finish the sentence because Artemis shot an arrow at his foot. Gallons of foam covered the Riddler completely, only leaving his head exposed. The foam hardened within seconds, trapping him inside.
"Think about it Safia!" The Riddler yelled before Artemis put her arm around me, and lead me away from him.
"Don't listen to him Saf. It's ok." Artemis tried to sooth me.
"Don't call me that, it's not my name." I said sternly.
"Ok. Frost. Just don't let him get to your head. That's what he wants" She educated me.
Artemis picked up her communicator, and spoke into it, Telling everyone to head east. We went back to the big open beach area.
"Can we go back home?" I barely whispered.
"Yea. Of course, just let me finish packing up. so as soon as the others get back we can leave." She smiled at me.
I walked over to a tree, and sat down against it. I looked down at the light blue encasing around my arm. I started to pick at it with my finger. Eventually I started freezing some of it with my finger. After a few minutes the whole thing was completely frozen. I glided my finger over the now frozen signatures on my cast. I Got up and stood parallel to the tree. I looked at the cast one last time, before I swung my arm at the tree, my cast exploding frozen pieces of cast, and small bit of ice flying everywhere.
"Saf- Frost! What are you doing?!" Artemis looked over to me.
"Taking my cast off" I said calmly examining my arm.
"Does it hurt?!" She said panicked.
"Nah." I moved my hand around feeling no pain.
"Oh.. Oh.. Ok" She slowly backed away, and continued packing everything back together.
