I finally arrived, lightly panting and Tim said that a wall was where the signal was portraying itself most prominently. I felt around the wall until I felt the bricks move out of the way to reveal a broken room, with flickering white lights. Must've been a hell of a fight. I thought as I expertly avoided the many shards of glass that surrounded me.

When I finally arrived in the colosseum like place, I looked up and saw Jason, Dick and Bruce all hanging from the ceiling from their legs, in their underwear. I blushed harshly looking over each of them, abdominals and all. I looked away and asked them what they were doing up there, and the common answer between the angry commotion was that they were stripped so that they couldn't be hiding any weapons to save them. I noticed that there was surprisingly no guards in sight, and I immediately knew that there was going to be multiple traps laid around the area. I looked around, and noticed that the stairs were all blocked up by the broken-down roofing of the building, and the giant court, roman battling arena mix room was even more busted down than the hallway at the front.

I took one step past the door and my leg was trapped in a bear trap that was hidden underneath the dirt. Blood spilled like a fountain from my leg, causing a pool of it at my feet. The scarab gave armour to my legs, pushing the bear trap down and away from it. I took another step and was pulled up into a rope trap. I quickly grabbed a dagger and cut the rope, falling into a water trap carefully placed where they knew I was going to land. The top closed and my scarab went from repairing my smashed leg to supplying an oxygen filter for me. I took out a katana and shoved it through the built proof glass with extreme focused strength.

By this point I was barely halfway towards the boys and their faces were red with the rushing of blood to their head. I pushed off the wall of the water tank and collided with the wall on the other side, my shoulder beginning to bleed, probably dislocated. In the tank I shoved it back into place and continued with the other shoulder. Crack! The glass moved out of the way, and I landed on the ground. I coughed up multiple mouthfuls of water and held my chest. Suddenly a bomb exploded out from underneath me, and I flew up, colliding with the roof. I pulled the edges of my cape and they formed the wings that I needed, but I was still recovering from the water tank, and coughed multiple times more. I looked down, but instead of water I saw blood, I felt multiple broken ribs from the explosion.

I landed on the rope clinging on tightly.

Miss I highly advise not continuing with this mindset.

"Shut up you stupid alien!" I yelled in fury, coughing up more blood. I grabbed tighter onto the rope and grabbed desperately for a knife, or a dagger or anything. I eventually grabbed a arrow from my sheath. I used it to cut the rope above me.

Accelerating healing stages.

"Ahhhh!" I screamed in agony as my rib cage, leg, shoulder and lungs were pulled into an immense ever-growing pain. I reached one more time through the pain to the rope, and succeeded In cutting the rope, but in my clouded state of mind didn't realize that if I cut above me I would fall. When I hit the floor I landed on and area between the boys, my head splitting open.

"VERONICA!!" Dick screamed ruthlessly trying to free himself from the ropes. I could barely hear him through all the blood loss. With my body even the scarab couldn't fix me in time. I felt two strong hands, grabbing me on either shoulder. I opened my eyes slowly, between the ever-encroaching darkness. At this moment, there was so much pain that I couldn't feel it anymore. I looked at Dick with an empathetic stare. He acctually cared for me. He loved me, like a sister. He shouldn't have done that. I suddenly remembered something important, and opened my eyes wider than before, or as wide as they could go in this state.

I reached up, and grabbed Dicks shirt with all my might. "D... Dami... an. Make... make sure...." I drifted out of living consciousness before I could finish my message.

(Third person)

"Ve, Veronica? Veronica?!" No!! Please no!! What did you want to tell me!? What about Damian?!" Dick screeched like that for a good hour. Bruce helped Jason search the area, and found multiple cameras hidden in different areas. They came to the conclusion that the court had called her there so they could watch this scene go down, maybe for kicks. Eventually Dick stopped, and they carried her body out through an area they knew was safe.

The scarab had been crushed due to an overload, it wasn't the most powerful version of itself. The Bat family was a sad on in this occasion, but contrast to popular beliefs, it was a beautiful, sunny funeral.

The, End
