So now that the house is rebuilt and everything is back to normal Dad thought it would be a good idea to throw a party. He invited the entire league, the titans and the team, literally everyone is here. Since Drake went to prison a few thing has been going through my mind, is Roy right? Have I changed that much? What do I do now?
I kept thinking about this whilst stood up on the stone balcony whilst leaning against the railing watching everyone talking, laughing and having a good time. I was snapped out of my thoughts when someone came a joined me. I looked up and saw Dick standing next to me, he leant against the railing and said
"You aren't staying, are you?"
"I can't. Kara Wayne died 6 years ago, I don't know who I am anymore"
"you know we'll support you whatever"
"I know" he looked at me for a moment before saying
"What else you thinking about?" I was quiet for a moment before replying
"I could have killed him"
"But you didn't"
"I wanted to. Everything fibre in my body was telling me to just…5 years of pain he caused me, he put me through hell and I wanted him to feel that pain, what does that make me?"
He gently wrapped his hand around mine and said
"That makes you human, Kara… What you managed to do was more than any of us expected. Look at what you did Kara" he gestured out to everyone before continuing
"Most of those people would probably be dead if you didn't bring together teams and people that wouldn't normally work together. K, you did go through hell but that has made so much stronger. Drake and Dean are never gonna see the light of day again, they are gone" I sighed and said
"I know but…Urg Drake, Dean, Dad, Roy, you, Everyone telling me who I am, what and what not to do, be this, be that, do this, do that. I can't focus on me…I've been doing this for as long as I can remember, I don't know who I am without blackbat looming over me, waiting to take over my life like it always does" he didn't. Say anything after that so I looked forwards and simply said
"After the wedding, I'm gone"
Present day-
Karas P. O. V.
"Are you sure you want to do this, K?" I'm currently packing the last of my things and Barbra is sat on my bed looking through one of my old photo Albums. I sighed and said
"Barb, since I came back…I can't explain it but I don't feel like me. the Kara you knew died in a car accident nearly 7 years ago. I need to do this. I need to find out who I am again"
"And you can't do that here, because?" I zipped up my bag and said
"We've been over this before, I'm not doing it again"
As I walked out of my room with my bag she got up and followed whilst saying
"What I don't get is why you have to leave your family?" I'm kinda glad that's it's only me and barb in the mansion right now, because what i'm about to say i don't want the boys to know.
"Can i trust you Barb?"
"Yeah of course you can" i put my bag down and said
"What i'm about to tell you can't get back to my family. Okay, promise me"
"I promise. Kara what aren't you telling me?" I put my bag down and said
"Drake has a underground syndicate. I'm not sure how big, but it's big. They operate under everyone's radar. They traffic just about everything from drugs to people. Barb I have to stop them and I gotta do it alone"
"But why?"
"He took 5 years of my life, actually more than 5 because I've spent the last 2 with major PTSD! When I came back nothing was the same, I wasn't the same. Something was missing. Maybe if I can take down everything Drake built then I can finally move on. The physical scars have gone but I can still feel them, they're still there mentally" I wasn't expecting what she did next.
She wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug. I dropped my bag in shock and but hesitated to return the hug. I thought about it for a second but then wrapped my arms around her. She then said
"What happens when you finish taking down the syndicate?"
"Try living my life without Blackbat" she pulled out of the hug and as I picked my bag I said
"Whilst I'm doing this I need you to do something really important for me…
—-3 days later—
So the day is finally here…again. The difference is that this time I'll be at my father's wedding. Dad and Selena agreed that it would probably be easier and safer to have the wedding at the Mansion. Right now Him and the boys are in a different part of the mansion getting ready whilst Me, Selena, Barbra and Kate are in another. Barbra and Kate are wearing their bridesmaids dresses that were picked out nearly a year ago. I'm just gonna wear a off the shoulder, blue flowy dress that I got for one of Dads parties years ago, I'm going to get changed in a minute.
Whilst Barb and Kate are finishing getting ready, I'm finishing Selena's hair.
"Kara?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you okay?" I hadn't realised that I had started staring off into space. I looked at Selena and said
"Oh yeah just thinking" Kate then asked
"Care to share?"
"Just thinking about tomorrow" Barb then said
"You don't have to go straight away. Wait a few weeks" I glanced over at her and said
"I can't stay. The longer I stay the more likely I am to not leave. We've been over why I have to go". Before any of them could say anything else my phone rang.
I pulled it out of my pocket and when I saw the caller ID I answered saying
"Hey Roy, what's up?" I heard sniffling on the other end of the phone so I stepped away from the girls and said quietly
"Roy, what's wrong?" He was quiet for a moment before replying
"It's bad Kara"
"Where are you?"
"At my place"
"Okay I'm coming over. I'll be there soon"
"Thank you"
"I made you a promise Roy, I don't intend to break it" I then put my phone away and grabbed my denim jacket.
As I was putting it on Selena spoke
"Where are you going?"
"It's Roy, I'm sorry Selena but I gotta go"
"It's okay Kara. Go" I smiled and then left her room. Before heading to the Zeta tube I went to tell dad.
I knocked on the door to their room and couple seconds later Jay opened it.
"Hey, what's up?"
"I gotta talk to dad" he stepped aside and let me in. When dad saw me he immediately asked
"What's wrong?"
"Something's up with Roy, I'm sorry but I gotta go. I promised I'd be there if he needed me, I ca…" he cut me off by placing a hand on my shoulder and said
"Kara, Roy needs you" I hugged him quickly and said
"Thank you". Before I walked out of the room I said to Dick
"Call me during the ceremony please"
"Sure, just make sure that he's okay"
"That's the plan" and with that I left the room and practically ran down into the Cave to the Zeta Tube
