Before The Dawn [1/?] anonymous October 9 2011, 21:31:01 UTC

It wasn't supposed to be like this. It was supposed to be simple. But that's how it always goes, isn't it? Just a ''simple'' mission, get in, gather the information, get out. Disappear. Like ghosts drifting through the walls; the world goes on as if nothing ever happened.

But it was never that simple. Something always happened, something that would set off the domino effect that came with being a hero; that came with getting nose to nose with madmen - murderers, for heaven's sake - for sending children to do an adult's job. An adult with half a life time worth of training and ohdeargod how could they not have expected this? Well, of course they expected the children to get hurt and bruised, burnt and broken but never this bad, never this horrible never ( ... )

OP: Re: Before The Dawn [1/?] f_flamequeen October 9 2011, 22:01:06 UTC

..................................................................

*sniffles* OP will come back when she is less overwhelmed. And she thanks you because she kindasorta likes both her kidneys, but she will definitely buy you that drink in another year. And she doesn't care if you update only once a month, as long as you get to the end somehow.

Clarification: OP may be too overwhelmed to write a proper, long, deserving review right now, or to stop talking in third person, but she still loves this fill beyond all reason.

Re: OP: Re: Before The Dawn [1/?] anonymous October 9 2011, 23:57:54 UTC

writer!anon is so happy OP likes it and is now also sucked into the third person, ahem *smacks self*

I'm really glad you like it. I am madly inspired and will soon have another part up, it's 2 am right now though but I will proofread and update when I wake up and hopefully the inspiration sticks. I love this prompt and will try my hardest! ò_ó Determined anon is determined!

Ooooh, I want to see where this goes SO BAD ♥ Awesome beginning - very strong already :)

Re: Before The Dawn [1/?] anonymous October 10 2011, 09:02:06 UTC

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that!

''He's alive. He has to be alive.''

Wally is pacing around the room like he's been doing for the past half hour, only to him it has been so much longer than that. When every second stretches vast as an hour, the pain and the worry and the what if I'd been there he was right there I should have done more I should have done enough why is it never enough -- it becomes too much for him to handle. He tries to slow his mind down but there is nothing stopping the imagery playing - taunting him - in his head.

Wally wipes his eyes, though dry he hopes to rub the tiredness away. His every muscle is screaming, twitching in pain and his body is begging him to sit down. But Wally can't rest, Wally can't stop, can't stop thinking, wondering if maybe there was something, anything they could have done to preventt this ( ... )

Re: Before The Dawn [1c/?] anonymous October 10 2011, 09:00:55 UTC

Artemis is silent, everyone is silent and it's driving Wally insane.

''He's not dead.'' he repeats again and again, trying to evoke a response, trying to gain some reassurance. Trying to tell if they feel the same. ''He can't be, he - ''

''Would you shut up?!'' Artemis has risen out of the couch and is looking at him, glaring at him as if all she wants in her life is to rip his jaw right off its hinges. Like she wants nothing more than for him to just shut the hell up. She needs his words to stop because every time he tries to reassure himself that their friend is still alive it only pushes the feeling of the contrary deeper into her gut; it solidifies the fear already gnawing at her spine ( ... )

OP is no longer speaking in third person f_flamequeen October 11 2011, 22:04:12 UTC

Okay. I started reading and was immediately thrown by the fact that you started with, not the team, not Batman or Superman, but Diana. And while Batman, Superman and Diana are probably closest among the Leaguers, and hence Clark and Diana are closest to Robin, it was still a surprise that the team isn't even present. I love it when my expectations are overthrown by something better. Because of course the League would send them away. And this way we get to focus entirely on Robinismissing and not deviate to severe guilt trips. A prologue should focus on the main point, and this did ( ... )

When the nausea lifts he is mildly aware of the dull ache in the back of his head. Whether the source of the pain is external or internal he cannot determine, but Robin knows that when he wakes up he is not in good shape. He tries to recollect the memories of where he was and where it may have landed him, but before his gaze focuses and the blurry silhouettes turn into solid shapes and colours, he can feel the smell of bleach ( ... )

Re: Before The Dawn [2a/?] animegoil October 10 2011, 16:01:11 UTC

Oh shit, this is getting intense already. Good reactions and conflict from people, and there's something sort of broken and jarred about the way everyone is reacting, like stopping half-way because they're so confused and distraught they can't complete what they're thinking or doing. love~

Re: Before The Dawn [2b/?] anonymous October 10 2011, 10:03:40 UTC

He's been beaten around a lot, gotten a few bones broken, limbs dislocated, even had his eye swell shut for almost a week and there was that one unfortunate encounter with a two-faced fellow and a crowbar and the old wounds still haunt and hurt from time to time, especially in the winter when it's cold but Robin's never -- he's never been tortured before. Of course Batman has prepared him for this, should the day ever come he has made sure that every preventive measure has been taken. He's not surprised, actually he expected it to have happened sooner rather than later but he's still -- he's still frightened and Robin can't help but feel like he's disappointing someone because really, he's been trained for this, he shouldn't be afraid. The Flying Graysons never feared. He can't be afraid, not when there are so many secrets depening on him right now ( ... )

Re: Before The Dawn [2c/?] anonymous October 10 2011, 10:05:03 UTC

Crack.

The long and slender fingers - like spiderlegs, ready to crawl over him and devour him and - Robin tries to breathe, tries to stay calm and focused; remember what Batman told him, remember what he taught him, remember who he is but it hurts so much and Robin can't remember the mantra he was supposed to repeat. He can't remember how he was supposed to go into the trance, away from the pain and sheltered in a blanket of comfortable nothingness because the man is pulling his finger - his broken finger which hurts so much it's as if it is trying to burn itself off and separate from the rest of his body. Robin can't blame it as when the next finger breaks he wants to do the same.

Craa-ack.He lets out a gasp but bites back the scream and the sweat is pooling all over his forehead; his mask feels sticky and heavy yet safe at the same time and brief panic washes over Robin as he realizes the man could pull it off at any given second ( ... )

Re: Before The Dawn [2c/?] animegoil October 10 2011, 16:05:11 UTC

Ugh, I'm wincing here, this just sounds... so bad. Oh man, keep it coming, you're doing excellently with this.

Re: Before The Dawn [2c/?] anonymous October 10 2011, 18:46:58 UTC

dgiodfg I'm happy it's pleasing! ;.; Just a warning though, I guess. since the prompt says to make it gory I will make it... well, unpleasant.
Thanks for the lovely words! More is a-coming.

*flails* WHAT?!?!?! I left for less than 24 hours, and came back thinking "Okay, now that I can speak properly again, I'm gonna go comment on that lovely prologue, and beg for an update," and then I discover THIS! While I was off figuring out my GRE book, you created a masterpiece ( ... )
