The whole league was in a panic. Wally and Admeta* had fallen into mysterious comas. The team and I were just as worried. These were two of our friends we were talking about here. Two members of our weird and crazy family. I watched as everyone either paced, panicked, or past out from trying to think to hard. The flock* had already set out to find any clues. I was, at the moment, one of the pacers. Wally had been my closest friend for as long as I can remember. He always had my back. Admeta, well, from the start she had worked her way into all of us. We nearly lost her once. Now we stood to lose Wally as well? NOT COOL!
"Ugh, this is impossible!" yelled a frustrated Zatana. "I've been through all of my dad's old spell books and there's nothing in there about a coma draft this strong." when all science seemed to fail, we turned to magic hoping to find answers. Conner slammed an angry fist in the wall. "There's got to be some ex. . . CRASH!" Conner's rant was interrupted by a loud crash from the med room. The team and I ran in and found two tall figures holding the sleeping forms of our comatose friends. "PUT THEM DOWN!" yelled Conner running forward. One of the figures spread a pair of pure white wings and cause a wind strong enough to knock Conner off his feet and into us.
Once we caught him, I threw some exploding disks at the figure holding Wally. He, too, spread wings and brought them around himself and Wally. Then, they both spoke in voices the whole mountain and beyond could hear. "It is time. Only those who truly love the pure ones will retrieve them. Only the one of heart as close to pure are theirs will find and receive them. THE TEST HAS BEGAN!" their wings burst out and the four vanished in a blinding flash of light. I was the first to recover and see that they were gone.
I fell to my knees in horror and pain. I heard Zatana crying on someone and nothing else. I turned to see the most distraught looking faces my team had ever worn. Megan sobbing on the chest of a shocked Conner who seem unable to understand what just happened. Megan accidentally opened a mind-link in her sadness and we heard each others thoughts. All were pretty much the same. 'I should have been quicker to respond!' came from Artemis and myself 'I wasn't strong enough.' came from Conner 'Some leader, I can't even protect two of my team members.' Aqua Lad no doubt 'I could have done something to stop it.' was the thought that past through all our minds.
Black Canary came in to find all of us still standing around in horror and sadness. "What's going on here?" she asked as Megan burst into renewed sobs. I spoke out loud for the first time. "Their gone. They took them. WHY WOULD THEY TAKE THEM?" I slid to the floor and vaguely heard Canary call for Batman, Aqua Man, Super Man, Manhunter, Green Arrow, and Doctor Fate. The next thing I knew I felt a strong hand on my shoulder. "Robin, can you hear me?" asked Batman calmly. I nodded slowly. He told me to take deep breaths and start from the beginning. "We were trying to find a way to wake them up. Then, a crash." I managed shaking "Tall people in white with wings, not like Admeta. They took them. They said," and a struggled to remember the words they said. But, Artemis remembered well. "They said,' It is time. Only those who truly love the pure ones will retrieve them. Only the one of heart as close to pure are theirs will find and receive them. THE TEST HAS BEGAN!', what did they mean?" she asked Fate. He shook his head. "I have never heard of this test. It may not be science or magic." I couldn't help smirking "Wally would have loved that answer."
