Burning Amber (Kid Flash/Wally x OC)

Belle Reve Penitentiary

Belle Reve Penitentiary
May 9

"Hey Amber, we're opposites, ice and fire, and you know how opposites attract. We're perfect for each other"

"I will weld your mouth shut if you don't stop talking"

"You can't because of the inhibitor collar," he says, pointing to the collar around my neck.

"Then I'll break all your teeth"

"Aww, come on"

"Amber," A deep and gruff voice said.

I looked up, away from the food I was picking at while trying to control the urge to punch Icicle Jr., and saw Batman and my sister standing at the entrance of the cafeteria.

"At least give me a little goodbye kiss," Icicle Jr. whispers in my ear.

I shiver and shove him away, standing up. "I'm Amber"

"Come with me"

All the other inmates started whispering, talking about how I was going with the Dark Knight wherever he was taking me and my sister. A bunch of rumours were starting to spread already.

"You were on a job too, why weren't you tossed into prison?" I ask Snow with narrowed eyes.

She opens her mouth but Batman answers for her. "She has been under house arrest for the past month"

"Why?" I was starting to get mad, hearing that I was shoved in prison while she was shoved in a comfy house.

"Sis, you know how much I hate this life, how I want to do something good, but you or some other villain would always draw me back in. He offered me a chance to change, I took it"

We walked through the hallways in silence, the only noise was from the other inmates, our footsteps, and the rhythmic beeping of my collar. Batman led me to an interrogation room where I sat down on one side of the table.

"You're being released, on account of good behaviour," he told me, standing on the other side of the table.

"I'm getting out of here? I've only been in here for like a month though," I comment.

"You'll be under the watch of someone at all times. You haven't done anything that makes you deserve to be in this prison. You helped Ivy get away with a serum that makes plants grow more quickly, which was retrieved"

"That's what that did?" I ask.

"You're still a villain, but you'll be guarded to make sure you don't do anything to make you land back in here"

"You're giving me the chance to be good?"

"I want us to be on the same, good, side for once," Snow tells me.

"I'm giving you the chance to choose the right side. To be like your sister. For the month you have been here I can see you don't belong around the other criminals"

"But I've done wrong"

"A wrong can always be replaced by a right"

"I want this, honestly, I've always felt out of place working with Ivy. But what if it doesn't work? It's not easy to convert from one life to another," I ask.

"I did it," Snow says.

"That's why we're going to keep an eye on you. We'll keep you in line, long enough to make you do good and stay good. If you step out of line, show any criminal tendency, you're back in this prison"

"Understood"

I was given my clothes to change into, so I wouldn't go walking around looking like an escaped prisoner, but the collar remained around my neck. They only removed it once we were in front of the door that would open and set me free.

"I don't want to hear of any trouble caused by you," the warden told me, blocking the door.

"No trouble from me sir," I say.

He nods. "Good, now get out"

Batman brought us towards a back alley once we had walked into town. An old telephone booth was hidden away in the dark corner.

"Wait, I need to get my things from the house," I say.

"Everything that belonged to us in that house was moved to the Cave," Snow tells me.

Batman told me to step in. I did and found myself teleporting to the Hall of Justice, their not so secret hideout. It was just a giant room with books on bookshelves lining each wall, some couches in the middle. Batman came out of the teleporter after me and my sister.

"Don't touch anything," he orders.

"Why bring me here?"

"You're going to meet the team that'll be watching you"

My eyebrows scrunch together as I thought. "So it isn't the members of the Justice League watching me?"

"They have other things to do"

He went up to a holographic computer that popped up out of nowhere, typing in some location.

"What is that?" I ask, looking at the teleporter that was glowing white.

"It's called a zeta-tube"

"Cool"

We stepped through it and ended up in a cave, a computer like the one he was just on floating in the middle of the room. Someone, a robot  called Red Tornado, was typing on it. Sidekicks were standing around him, watching, until they heard the sound of us walking through the zeta tube.

"Batman, 02," the computer said. "Amber, A08, Snow A09"

"What is she doing here?" Robin asked, ready to pounce at me.

"Did she break out?" The green skinned girl asks.

"No," Batman replies simply. "Your next mission is to keep an eye on her"

"Not that I'm complaining, but why?" Kid Flash asks.

Batman explains to them how they will be watching us, making sure the both of us don't get into trouble, and how I hadn't done anything wrong to deserve to be in prison. Plus, he added, they were trying to get me on the good side. Not his exact words.

"So we're babysitting?" Robin asks, sounding very unenthusiastic.

"This isn't babysitting Robin, we're guarding a criminal," Aqualad says.

"Yes. I don't want to hear of any trouble from Red Tornado. That goes for all of you," Batman says.

"But-"

"Robin, do as I say"

Robin sighed but crossed his arms. Batman left and we were all left standing in the giant room. The green girl came up to me, a giant smile on her face. She had shoulder length red hair, red eyes with freckles underneath and wore the same symbol Martian Manhunter wore on her white shirt.

"I'm Miss Martian, M'gann, but you can call me Megan," she says.

"Amber, no secret identity or anything"

"You already know me babe, but the name is Wally West," Kid Flash said, speeding over to me and wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Remove the arm before I break it," I tell him calmly.

He does, backing away from me, and Aqualad comes over, a hand out for me to shake, which I took and shook. "Aqualad. My name is Kaldur'ahm, but you can call me Kaldur"

He turned around, looking at the other two expectantly. Two grouchy looking kids stood with arms crossed, looking away from the conversation. One of them was Robin with his black hair and mask. The other was a black haired and blue eyed boy wearing Superman's symbol on his black shirt. Aqualad sighed.

"This is Robin, his identity is a secret. And that is Superboy"
