Prologue

"Athena, don't do this!" Conner exclaimed. Athena was straddling him, squeezing at his throat tightly, watching as he struggled underneath her.

"Shut up." she growled, squeezing tighter. She felt her finger tips sinking into his skin.

Conner's breath was ragged and he never knew that Athena was this strong. He couldn't get out of her grip, but he could feel her hands shaking. He knew that Athena didn't want to kill him.

"A-the-na…" he choked out.

"Stop it!" she screamed. "Stop talking!"

"You won't… won't do it. You don't… kill." He breathed heavily. Tears were streaking Athena's face.

"SHUT UP!" she spat.

"Don't… d-do this… the l-league will never… accept you. Y-you'll have n-nowhere to go." He breathed heavily.

"JUST STOP TALKING!" she sobbed.

"Y-You can't do… do this t-to me, Athena. I'm Superboy. You l-love me." he stuttered, starting to feel confident that she wouldn't kill him. He could feel her shaking hands starting to loosen on his throat. However, she yelled,

"I DON'T LOVE YOU!"

"'Course you d-do. I'm your lover, of c-course." He said with confidence. Athena's eyebrows furrowed and she gave one final large squeeze.

Conner's body became stiff, and his eyes stared off into space, his breath stilled.

Athena slowly released her grip on Conner's throat, staring at the corpse.

Tears streaked the girl's cheeks, and she buried her face in her hands, kneeling next to the dead body.

"He said that you have nowhere to go." A voice echoed across the room, and Athena turned to face it.

Ra's Al Ghul stood on the other side of the room, his sharp eyes staring at the body on the ground, but his face softened as he looked at Athena. He slowly approached the girl.

"But you and I both know that he was wrong." Ra's extended his hand out to the girl. "Come along, Young Goddess. I am taking you home."

Athena slowly stood to her feet, staring at the man.

She had hated him since she was little, but he never went back on his offer. If she pledged her allegiance to him, he would protect her from the league. Her family.

She took in a deep breath, forcing her tears to decrease, and grasped the man's hand. She took one step closer to Ra's Al Ghul, trying to keep herself from falling to the ground.

She was finding it difficult to stand. On top of that she was also having trouble telling herself not vomit due to the sickening taste in her mouth.

She had just killed someone.
