“You guys really don’t need to do this” I said. The team had picked me up in a ‘Queen’s Chair’ position and were carrying me to the bio ship.
“It was either us or Superman, so it’s your pick” Kalder pointed out.
“I know, but I can walk. My legs aren’t broken” I said, trying to get up.
“Night. We’re carrying you. Whether you like it or not“ Artemis said. I sighed. They carried me to the bio ship and placed me gently in a seat. The buckles appeared and went over my body. We flew right to a hospital where Megan used her telekinesis to bring me in. We went straight to the front desk. The lady said we could go straight to room 231. We went up the stairs and into the room. A doctor was there. Megan laid me down carefully on the bed. I looked at the doctor.
“Before you start, can you knock me out with antiseptic?” I asked
“Okay, but you know it won’t hurt” he said
“It’s not the pain I care about. It’s seeing and hearing my bone being cracked into place” I shuddered. He laughed slightly and put me on the antiseptic. I awoke later to find my arm in a cast and bandages around my ribs. I propped myself up. Superman came in.
“Night, I am so sorry. I knew what I was doing, but I couldn’t stop” he apologized.
“It’s not your fault. I knew the risks. All that matter’s is that Roulette and Sonar are back in jail and I have both my parents back” I said. I looked at my blank white cast.
“Will you sign my cast?” I asked, holding it out. He grabbed a permanent marker and wrote Superman in cursive. I smiled.
“Connor, would you mind getting the team in here?” I whispered. A couple minutes later, the walked through the door. Megan was holding a balloon and Artemis was holding a card.
“Thanks, guys. Will you sign my cast?” I held out my arm. They all signed it. Batman came in with Green Arrow, Black Canary and Huntress. They were all in uniform. I held out my cast and they all signed.
“You really didn’t have to come” I said, getting up. “It’s just a cast”
“It’s not the cast that brought us here. It’s how you got it. You stood fearlessly up to one of the most powerful people in the league. You barely attacked, even though he was being brainwashed. You let him throw you around and almost kill you. Yet, you act like it was nothing. That is why we are here” Batman said solemnly.
“The real question here, is why?” said a new voice. A man in a long blue overcoat, a blue fedora, a blue vest, blue pants and an orange shirt walked in. But where his face should have been, was blank.
“Who are you?” I asked
“I am Question. Now will you answer mine?” he nodded
“I found it was easier to stall Sup’s then it would have been to stop Roulette. I’ve never been good with psychopaths” I laughed
“It was either us or Superman, so it’s your pick” Kalder pointed out.
