( MADELAINE PRINCE )

PART 2

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*𝐁𝐔𝐎𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄, while  artemis walks around behind the doctor. madelaine and kid flash sit on top of the computer tower. artemis stops walking to glare at wally which he returns making madelaine roll her eyes.

"stop it, both of you!" aqualad's telepathic voice cuts in and draws their attention away from the glaring contest that was about to begin.

"what?" both ask at the same time.

"the tension is becoming too much, either kiss it out or fight it out!" madelaine mutters under her breath knowing they could all hear her to receive an offended look from artemis and wally.

"i'd rather die than kiss her" wally thought to himself making madelaine nudge the boys arm hardly.

"let's just keep focus for now" madelaine announces to the group before pulling herself up and joining artemis' side.

———

in the single room building, kid flash watches as doctor roquette types, still hanging out on top of the computer tower. the doors burst open and from the doorframe, black spider flips out.

kid flips to a similar position, but his left leg out to the side which allows him to stand and pick into a run with ease. going to swipe out black spider's feet, but the man lives up to his chosen name. flipping to the ceiling and clinging there. before shooting red webbing at kid flash.

kid rolls out of the and towards the narrow cylinder trashcan which he throws at black spider to get him to drop back down to the ground. the assassin springs through his crouch, coming in with a cross that kid flash easily dodges and counter with a hit to the ribs.

artemis goes to shoot the assassin when the glass window in the ceiling behind her shatters and hook drops to the ground. madelaine pulls an energy field around her and the doctor well trying to make sure the doctor keeps typing

artemis changes her aim and shoots at the white haired man, who dodges the shot, and the next three by diving between the pews. artemis knocks another arrow, while roquette stops typing and turns to madelaine.

"don't stop!" she instructs the doctor, before dropping the force field and joining artemis' side. roquette says nothing and turns back to the computer.

from the double windows, cheshire lines up an arrow it a crossbow. she releases it, but madelaine uses a blast of energy to push a desk in front of the doctor "the demi-gods in the way. it's now or never." she commands of hook and black spider, ditching the crossbow.

kid flash runs at black spider, but the acrobatic assassin executes a sudden spin which places him under kid flash and able to kick him in the stomach and away with both feet. finding his footing with ease he shoots red webbing at the desk blocking roquette.

artemis has another arrow ready to be shot at hook, but when she sees cheshire drop down before roquette her distraction is rewarded by a hook to the face, which madelaine blocks with a small shield. the hook returns to hook's hand while cheshire looms over the fallen roquette.

she twirls her sai, finding her expert hold and ready to stab her in the back. when the doctor's skin suddenly turns green and her head turns to look right at cheshire. "we've been duped!" she calls out, both angrily and to alert both men working with her.

miss martian returns to her classic form, levitating in the air a good four feet over cheshire and hook's heads. "you'll never find doctor roquette." she tells cheshire with conviction.

"never's such a long time." cheshire teases. "pursuing target. keep 'em busy." she calls out. running off.

hook launches his hook at miss martian to prevent her from following.

madelaine pulls artemis to her feet just when cheshire runs by, artemis quickly pulls herself up "pursuing their leader." she calls out. 

kid flash is still fighting black spider, blocking his punches, then managing a cross to the assassin's face and knocking him down. "take the rest down." he watches the blonde run out the double doors.

"you are so not the boss of me." kid calls after artemis, annoyed and purposefully dragging out the so.

"just do it!" she snarls over her shoulder, not losing stride.

behind his turned back black spider gets to his feet and throws his arms around kid flash so he can't move his arms. his left arm slides closer to the speedsters neck as his right-hand grips the ginger hair tightly.

"so not cool!" madelaine calls out as she watches the blonde run, the goddess just rolls her eyes before sprinting to miss martians side as hook sends his hook to the martians face .

miss martian manages to dodge the large hook as it comes back to its source. once she's out of range she throws her hand out telekinetically moving the pews beside hook. he obliterates the first one but barely manages to get the one that rises to his turned back.

knowing she's vulnerable he turns and launches his hook at madelaine. she shoots to the air and it sticks to the ceiling. "kid, m'gann , we need to end this now." she tells the two.

as the speedster continues to avoid the red webbing by flipping over the row seating. coming to a pause with a smirk on his face. "it's like you read my mind, gorgeous." in his distracted state the red webbing clings to his left shoulder. looking over it for a mere second until he starts spinning at high speeds.

black spider is too shocked to be able to counteract it before he's whisked off his feet.

kid flash jumps, while still spinning, and lands a dual set of kicks to black spider's chest, breaking the webbing and sending the assassin back into a pew and breaking it with the force kid flash hit him with.

hook's hook retracts and he launches it once more at miss martian. she creates a telekinetic wall that sends the hook flying towards madelaine before the girl shoots it straight back to hook crashing it into his wielder and hitting him in the jaw and knocking the man out with a strangled cry of pain.

"woohoo!" m'gann says happily, aloud. "we got ours."

"great." kid flash says, then tries to work against the webbing finding it not anywhere near budging. uh, a little help?"

madelaine looks up at the ginger boy before a laugh escapes her lips at his position "idiot" she directed towards him before flying up to his height to help him.

———

wally speeds him and madelaine to where artemis and chesire last were before the boy drops the girl off besides him, the smoke clearing up and miss martian also joining them. aqualad and the doctor also appearing.

"where is she?" madelaine asked as she coughed slightly on the smoke coming her way and filling her mouth.

"she, uh- she got away." artemis stutters out quietly.

kid flash and his big mouth are quick to talk "oh, from you?" he taunts. "oh, big surprise. notice we got ours."

miss martian lowers the still-knocked-out assassin closer to the ground.

wally looks down and his eyes lighten, a small smile on his face. "cool." then picks up cheshire's mask. "souvenir."

madelaine only sighs at the boys antics before placing a comforting hand on artemis' shoulder "you'll get her next time" she whispers well squeezing the girls shoulder.

aqualad recognizes it instantly, walking towards kid flash without roquette's support, but the doctor remains close, just in case. "her mask?" he questions, wincing as he yanks one of her darts out of his chest. "did you see her," he cuts himself off as he rips out another dart. "her face?" he finishes, yanking out the last dart.

"it was dark." artemis defends, then looks towards the bay.

"it is fine." aqualad assures, reading her body language since she won't say anything. "robin and superboy neutralized the fog, and dr. roquette is safe, thanks in no small part to you."

she glances over her shoulder before fully turning to face him as miss martian lands beside kid flash.

"welcome to the team." she gives a small smile in return.

aqualad steps up before her and offers his hand. after a slight hesitation, she takes it.

"i always wanted a sister." miss martian says sincerely. "here on earth, i mean. i have twelve back on mars, but trust me, it's not the same." she clarifies before smiling at madelaine " i have madelaine, so i guess we can all be sisters"

"yeah, sisters" madelaine repeats with a growing smile

"i wouldn't know." artemis decides to say, though a small chuckle does come through. "but thanks."

miss martian elbows kid flash in the chest. "ow." he grumbles, but still no one says anything. "yeah. welcome." he says begrudgingly.

artemis offers her hand, he only hesitates slightly before taking it. though he does look at it the whole time like he thinks it's going to either explode or eat him.

madelaine shakes her head at his childishness before grabbing the boys wrist and pulling him along with her so he can leave the girl alone, the boy let out a small yelp at how tightly she held him but she didn't let go.

artemis laughed at the two before looking at m'gann "they so like each other" 

"they couldn't make it more obvious" m'gann agrees well linking arms with artemis and pulling the hesitant blonde along.
