Summary: Cassie is upset about Jaime's betrayal

Keep in mind that the team isn't aware of Jaime being on mode

I'm open to any constructive criticism :)

But why?

Cassie woke up with a groan. Her head was throbbing as she got up and the room spun crazily around her. Her mind still hazy and she was utterly confused.

"What happened? Uh, totally feeling the mode," She heard Bart say.

"No idea. Must've been some massive attack but I don't get it. Weren't we successful in the mission?" She answered.

Everyone else must've been just as puzzled and exhausted. Trying to recall the occurrence was like making your way through smog. Everything that had happened was now a hazy memory.

"Yes, you were successful in the mission," Nightwing announced. The blonde was startled and she nearly fell. When did he even get here? She was still not quite used to his 'ninja-like' appearances. "But Blue Beetle attacked all of you then escaped before anyone else could get here in time. I'm sorry."

"Why did he attack us? Are you hiding something from us again?" Conner hissed.

"Wait, what's this about hiding something again?" Batgirl asked.

Nightwing sighed. "It's just.. I'll tell you later. Now's not the time. But I have no idea why that happened, I'm just as lost as you are."

Hearing that made Cassie's stomach churn. Her knees went weak and she found it difficult to walk. It was hard enough to stand. She couldn't believe her ears.

"No! You're lying! That couldn't have happened. Blue would never do that! He's right ther-" She pointed to an empty corner. Her eyes and mouth grew bigger in horror. She was getting flashbacks of the attack. How Jaime went bizarre on the team. It was all too much to take in; it felt like her whole world was crashing down.

"Wondergirl, just stay whelmed. We'll get through this, I promise."

"I ju-just need to be alone." Cassie muttered as she made her way and isolated herself. It wasn't usual for the girl to be so gloomy. But right now she felt absolutely devastated.

After all, the boy she liked did betray her. It wasn't everyday that that happened. She felt tears streaming down her face, considering all the possibilities as to why he would've done that to the team. Did he have a sudden change in heart? Was he a mole? All these questions were running through her head. It hurt, to know that she couldn't like a 'normal' guy. Not since meeting Jaime.

Call her crazy but she felt a connection between them when they first met. It wasn't necessarily romantic feelings. She just thought that they would have a fun and strong friendship and it felt that way in the beginning. But then he grew on her and she tried to but really couldn't shake off the feeling.

She liked having her stomach do somersaults. She liked having her heart race whenever their arms brushed against one another. She liked being flustered around him. She liked his presence.

And it broke her heart to know that he did that. It disgusted her; she promised herself that she would never develop feelings for anyone who assaulted her. Why would he do that though?

She knew it would hurt to get backstabbed but it was ten times worse to know that it was Jaime. Did all those glances, all those hand brushes, and all those adrenaline rushes mean nothing to him? It certainly did to her and she was almost positive that the feeling was mutual.

"How could I have been so delusional?"
