Karoline POV

You can do this...you CAN do this...

I can't do this...

I CAN'T-

Ignoring my fears I leap upwards and use my powers to propel myself to the roof top.

"INCOMING!" I scream as I fly upwards.

Everyone stops in their battle to look up as I soar past the roof.

TOO HIGH! TO HIGH!

"GET YOUR ARSES MOVING AND FIGHT!" I hear Sara snap at Rip, Ray and Roy who are all standing in shock.

Roy is the first to act and pulls his bow off his shoulder and slams it into an oncoming man's face before turning and pulling out an arrow.

The fight continues below me and I angrily cut off my powers.

Aww crap...

Wind tears through my hair as I fall backwards through the air.

"CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!"

With an earsplitting crack I land on one of the goons.

We hit the rooftop and I roll off of him groaning in pain.

"Sorry," I mutter patting his lifeless corpse, "My bad."

He doesn't reply as I wearily get to my feet.

"ARRRRRRGHHHH!" A man screams racing towards me; his knives out.

"COME AT ME BRO!" I screech back.

He flies towards me and I quickly sidestep him.

His roar of rage turns into a scream of terror as he trips on the edge of the roof and plummets to the ground below.

"Don't worry," I call over my shoulder, "Falling is a lot like flying except there's a more permanent destination!"

A hand grasps my scalp dragging me away from the edge of the roof.

I hiss in pain and claw at the hand to no avail.

"Let's have some fun, darling," the man purrs in my ear.

A shiver runs down my spine.

"N-n-n-n."

"What was that, darling?"

"No!" I scream elbowing him as hard as I can in the gut.

He gasps for air and his grip on my hair loosens. I wrench myself free and whip around to face him; panting heavily.

He clutches his stomach with one arm and uses the other to make a rude gesture my direction.

"Go to-"

I don't even let him finish before unleashing my powers and forcing him across the rooftop.

"Who's next?" I yell.

The masked girl from earlier smirks at me from across the roof.

What is she doing here?

She raises her bow and aims.

Odin's eye-

She releases the arrow sending it my way.

I wince as the arrow slices through the air right past my head.

Wait past me?

A gurgling noise from behind me makes me turn around. The man behind me drops his gun onto the rooftop and uses his hands to surround the arrow embedded in his throat. Blood dribbles out from the corners of his mouth; staining his chin scarlet. His bloody gurgles continue for another couple moments before he falls to his knees; his eyes glazed. With a disgusting squelching noise he falls onto his face. The bloodied arrow tip protrudes from the back of his neck.

Turning around with a look of utter disgust on my face I stare at the woman.

"YOU KNOW THIS IS USUALLY THE PART OF THE LIFESAVING WHERE YOU SAY THANK YOU!" She shouts.

"THANK YOU!" I roar back, "FOR SCARRING ME FOR LIFE, YOU PSYCHO!"

She laughs as she fires off an arrow and kills another man. Turning to look at me, her witty comeback dies on her tongue.

"IDIOT MOVE!"

I raise an eyebrow.

"WAIT I'M IDIO-?"

A sudden pricking sensation on the base of my neck cuts me off.

"What in the nines?" I ask in shock looking to my right.

A man with a wicked smile stares back at me. His blonde hair hangs in curtains around his face and his overly bright green eyes make me step back.

"What did you do?" I snarl.

He laughs as I stretch out my hand trying to activate my powers.

His body raises a hair off the ground before the strain is too much and I let him go.

I stare at my hands in horror.

"How strong are you without your magic, wench?" He snarls.

My hackles raise and I lunge towards him.

He cries out in shock as my fingers wrap around his throat.

His back collides with the ground with me on top of him. My fingers tighten on his weak neck.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" I scream, "WHERE ARE MY POWERS?"

"L-l-let g-go," he gasps trying to pry off away my fingers.

I loosen my grip slightly and he kicks me off of him.

My back hits the side of the roof and I barely have time to grab the hilt of my knife before he is on me.

His fist collides with the side of my face sending my head into the edge of the roof.

Stars flash in my eyes as his hands surround my throat.

Oh no you don't buddy.

I plunge my knife deep into his chest cavity. His gasps in shock and his fingers stop their strangling.

I twist my knife and he staggers away his chest oozing blood. Ice suddenly surrounds him leaving him encased in a frozen tomb.

"JONES, NEXT TIME YOU RUN OFF LEAVE A NOTE!" A familiar voice screams across the rooftop.

I glance over and see Mick and Snart join everyone else on the roof.

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE SO BLOODY SLOW, LENNY!"

I rub my neck to massage the bruises and my fingers find a mysterious bump.

"Oh dear."

I rub my fingertips over it exploring the lump.

What in Odin's name-

An earsplitting scream of pure terror splits the air and I turn to see the masked woman fall to the ground. Wilson stands over her with a knife grinning maniacally.

Red Arrow roars in rage as Wilson pulls the girl upwards in a headlock and leaps off the roof.

The archer and I both race to the edge of the rooftop. I stretch out my hands trying to pull them back with my powers. Wilson staggers slightly, cranes his neck to look up, then races away into the darkness with the girl.

The man beside me slams his fist into the rooftop.

AN-
Aaaaaand there she goes...so what are your thoughts on Ronnie now? Any change from earlier?
