What about us?
Crash! "Conner wait!" Megan shouted as she chased after Conner. The others standing there wondering what had happened to cause the young Kryptonian to loose his temper the way he had.
"Should we go after them?" Artemis asked watching as Megan ran after her boyfriend. Kaldur shook his head.
"Let's just give them some breathing space."
"Conner! Please stop and talk to me. What's wrong?" Megan shouted, her voice shaking as she tried to stop the tears that were threatening to fall and stain her pale green cheeks. Conner stop and turned to face his girl friend, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment. Megan flinched and turned away at the sight.
"How could you do that? What had that creature done to deserve...that?" He demanded. Megan stood there with her eyes to the ground, unable to look into his baby blue eyes.
"We needed that information. How else were we going to save those children?" Megan replied in a whisper. Conner's frown deepened.
"You interrogated the poor thing until it passed out! It's now in a coma up in the watch tower and Martian Manhunter doesn't think that it'll ever wake up!" Conner shouted his fists clenching as he remembered the look on the creatures face as she mentally tortured it.
"It was going to use those children to mine the special stones for their machine." Megan said in her defence, looking up at Conner with determination and defiance. "Besides it wasn't human, it deserved what it got." Conner looked at her in shock.
"Neither are we, but you don't see the others going around trying to torture us!"
"That's...we're different to them. You just wouldn't understand." Megan explained, anger showing in her green eyes. Conner stared down at her in shock.
"Who are you? The M'gann I know would never do anything like that to anyone. No matter what planet they came from."
"I saved those kids. If it hadn't been for me interrogating it we would never have found them."
"What aren't you telling me?" Conner suddenly asked. A mixture of concern and anger showing on his face.
"Nothing! I'm fine!" She replied angrily. Conner sighed and walked over to the chair that they had build together and stared out at the sunrise.
"Your not fine." He said turning away from her. "And if your not willing to admit that you have a problem and except my help then I guess that you don't need me."
"What? Conner please I'm sure that we can work this out." Megan begged, Conner shook his head.
"Guess we've been talking too long, we know what we need separately." He sang quietly, Megan walked and stood behind him.
"You say the honeymoon's over. I don't want to push, but what about us?" Megan sang back sitting down next to him and grabbing his hand. Conner pulled it away.
"It's ringing in my head. It's not what you say, it's what you haven't said."
"But what about us? What about love? What about saying that we'll never give up?"
"I don't want to blame ya, but we're in danger."
"But what about us?" Megan sang, tears streaming freely down her cheeks. Conner didn't reply. "I guess we're trying too hard. We misunderstood what's good for us."
"I'm tired emotionally inside. Night after night we fight till you cry." Conner sang softly wiping the tears from her eyes.
"I don't know what's wrong or right?" Megan admitted tearfully. Conner brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, causing her to blush.
"Is every word you say what's really on your mind?" He asked, Megan slapped his hand away and frowned.
"So what about us?...What about love?...What about saying that we'll never give up?" She asked again, her voice croaky from the shouting she had been doing earlier.
"I don't want to blame ya, but we're in danger. So what about us?" Conner repeated trying to make her understand what he was trying to say. "When we love...you lie." Megan gasped at what Conner was saying. She had always tried to be honest with him and never liked to see him hurt. So why would he say that she lied about their love? "When we talk you hide. Maybe I'm searching blind." Megan stood up and turned to leave, unable to listen any more to what Conner had to say, but Conner grabbed her arm and made her stay and listen.
"I'm warn out, confused." He admitted, his eyes filling up with tears which he was trying desperately to hide.
"What are we to you?" Megan asked, tears once again falling freely down her cheeks as she watched Conner's emotional barrier crumble for the first time since she had known him. Conner turned and wiped his eyes trying to hide the evidence from the others.
"What are we doing?" They both sang together staring into each others eyes.
"So what about us?"
"What about trust?" Conner asked looking at her sternly. Megan turned and looked away from him. She knew that she had done wrong today, but she had only did to save those children. If she hadn't then...No she wouldn't think about it. The thought of what those creatures were going to do to them was just too disturbing to even imagine.
"That's the one thing that we never discuss. I have to tell ya that we're in danger. So what about trust?" Conner stood there impatiently waiting for her reply, but none never came. Megan just stood there unable to tell him the truth about the aliens true intentions. Conner sighed in frustration and walked off leaving her there with her thoughts. He hadn't said that it was over, but deep down Megan knew that what ever she and Conner had had was now gone. She sat down again on their bench and cried. She could sense Artemis standing behind her wondering what she could do but she didn't move. Artemis sat down beside her and pulled her into a hug, rubbing her back and trying to say things that she thought would make her feel better. They sat there for ten minutes until Megan was able to stop crying and after convincing Artemis that she was alright, headed back to the team, ashamed off what she had done.
Thanks for reading. This is actually just something that I came up with one night when I was listening to my John Barrowman CD and thought that this would be a perfect song for them. Let me know what you think.
