A Light in the Dark
Barbara and Dinah are in the training room. All is silent, except for Barbara's instruction. "Focus, Dinah. Focus," she coached. Dinah was beginning to become restless.
"Why are we doing this anyway?" she asked, "Shouldn't we be working on the kicks and punches and stuff? I've already mastered the whole mental- psychic thingy. Let's move on already!" Barbara sighed. "Dinah," she said sternly, "You are part of a team. A team is supposed to be evenly balanced. Helena's the physical part, I'm the intelligence source, and you're our mentality skill. You have your own abilities that neither of us has, and that's what makes you an essential part of our team. That's why you need to develop your skills as much as possible. We rely on each individual skill to solve any possible situation that might come up."
Dinah starts humming "Star Spangled Banner", much to Barbara's dislike. "Dinah!" Barbara scolded, "This is serious! Now, back to training. I want to see you lift and place this ball on the other side of the room 10 times."
"God, Barbara, since when did you become such a workaholic?" Dinah irritably asked, "I mean, since Wade died-," she stopped when she realized what came out of her mouth, and saw the hurt look on her trainer's face. "Barbara." she said softly, reaching out to comfort her, but the trainer put her hand up to stop her. "Just-," she stuttered, "Just go. Go to Gaby's or something, just go." "Barbara." Dinah repeated, backing out of the room. "Just go!" Barbara yelled.
Alone and scared, Dinah wandered the New Gotham streets with nowhere to go. Gaby was on vacation with her parents. She didn't want to go to No Man's Land at the risk of running into Helena. She became afraid- she'd never been on sweeps alone before. Aimlessly she wandered, soon losing track of sidewalks and streets. It was becoming dark. There was no moonlight to guide her and the streetlights weren't on yet. All she could think about was how much she hurt Barbara and how much Barbara hurt her. She knew she shouldn't have brought up Wade, but Barbara shouldn't have yelled like that and kicked her out. The girl had never heard her yell like that. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts, she didn't see the approaching car.
A/N: Like it so far? I know it's short, but I'm working on it!
