Chapter Eleven:
Nightwing ran to the wreckage. He picked up a large piece of debris and tossed it to the side.
"Revenge?"
Barbara appeared inayofuata to him, yelling for Revenge's female counterpart.
"Infrared is picking up nothing." Barbara said. She put a hand on Nightwing's shoulder. "Dick, I'm sorry."
24 Hours Earlier...
"Wake up!"
holly groaned. "Go to sleep, Cassie."
"Cassie?"
holly woke up and turned to see another schoolgirl standing beside her.
"Sorry, thinking of my..best friend." holly said, improvising. "What are wewe waking us up for?"
The girl didn't respond. "Follow me."
holly rolled her eyes and slipped on some jeans and a tank top. She looked at the utility ukanda and equipment, but decided against it. She hauled Cassie out of the kitanda and the two sleepily followed the girl, in full uniform, down the hall.
The girl opened the door to the head mistresses office. holly walked in and was immediately awake.
The headmistress was dressed in an machungwa, chungwa and black outfit much like Artemis's. Her devilish grin remained in its usual place. Around her were ten girls, all with AK-47s pointed at holly and Cassie.
"Clone them, then destroy the chanzo material." tarantula said. "So commands the Light."
The girls started to lead holly and Cassie out when tarantula spoke again. "Leave holly Green. The Light wishes to deal with their traitors in their own way."
"How did you--?"
"Please, Holly. Every establishment of the Light has a bounty on your head. We know what wewe look like. Also considering the fact everything wewe and your single partner reacted to, it was easy to figure out the Justice League sent wewe to do their dirty work."
holly leaped at Tarantula, but hit an invisible wall. She fell to the ground, face scrunched in pain, making a moaning sound.
"Also, devices in your necks were surgically attached the first night yo slept here. I have the controls to kill you, electrocute you, au apply any other amount of pain to you." tarantula said, waving the remote.
"Cassie." holly groaned. "Now."
Cassie flew to the juu of the roof and tossed her lasso (which she constantly had hidden beneath her shirt) at the remote in Tarantula's hand. She grabbed it and landed, looking at her victory.
The clicking of ten AKs brought her attention back to tarantula and her clones.
"Give me the remote and run along like a good girl." tarantula said.
Cassie gulped and handed tarantula back the remote.
"Take them to the cloning facility. Double security."
The rest of the schoolgirls nodded and shoved the girls out the door.
"I just hope Megan and Barbara found that other girl." Cassie muttered.
All holly could do was moan in agreement as she was dragged similar-conscious down the hallway.
---------------------------------------------------
Barbara landed in a squatting position. Megan landed invisibly behind the girl who stuck to the shadows. Megan clutched her head.
"What is it?" Barbara asked.
"It's Holly." The Martian replied. "She's in pain. And Cassie's in distress! We have to help them! Something went wrong!"
"No." Barbara said. "We're here to save the girl and that's what we're going to do."
A blinking image popped up on Red Revenge's screen.
"Go time."
"Agreed, partner."
Nightwing ran to the wreckage. He picked up a large piece of debris and tossed it to the side.

How did I survive?
It was peaceful
Then they came
They took all ‘smart’ and ‘intelligent’ ones
They burned our houses
They burned our city
They burned our people
They almost burned me
She almost burned me
I will never forget her face
Long hair
Blue eyes filled with fire
Angry...
So angry...
She held moto in her hand
It didn't hurt her
The moto just danced in her hand
She looked at me
Then my parents
Then me
She burned my parents
I ran
It was hot
So much fire
So much burning
I ran
I hid
I dissapered
Now I am here
I am Rostlina
And I am going to kill the moto casters.

The car raced to the Mountains. Zinc had no idea where his 'Father' was taking him.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Away, to keep wewe safe. wewe don't belong here" Replied the Death Spirit.
"What!? what about my twin Zoe, why aren't wewe taking her to be safe?!"
"She already is. In the eyes of the Spirits."
A wingu of thunder formed right behind the mountains. Echoing throughout the mountain air.
The Death Spirit made a left hand turn into a field of grass.
"Gnome. You'll be salama there". alisema the Death Spirit.
Blackness filled Zincs eyes, as he fell into a trance.
The Death Spirit had taken Zinc to a far away universe. He was held in a town called Gnome. No way there, no way out. Only kwa plane.
TBC TO FIND OUT ABOUT ZOE (ME) AND THE REMAINING SECRETS STAY TUNED......

For a moment, Revenge was pressed against her in the narrow hallway in complete darkness. Then, there was a light, from Revenge's mask, and the hallway was lit in a dim red light.
"Ladies first." Revenge said.
"Scared?" Batgirl asked.
"Funny." Revenge said. "I'll take point."
Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.
"I've got the light." Revenge said. "And the armor, and the brains."
"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.
Revenge turned and tossed a dagger into the darkness behind them. It went farther than the three feet of the iron door through which they had entered.
"Any zaidi smart remarks?"
"Ladies first." Revenge said.

Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.

"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.
