Dulling black eyes followed the newly formed couple, heart cracking even further.
This….this was torture.
Chapped lips trembled as she watched what could have been hers, the happiness she could've shared with him having been taken by the girl who can't stay out of people's heads. Hands clenching in anger, her vision flashed red.
And then in a split second, all that anger was gone.
Gloved hands scrubbed at her eyes and she sucked in a shaky breath, web-like cracks spreading across her heart.
He never was, and never would be hers.
The damn Martian won again.
A hand gently grabbed her shoulder and began to lead her away from the newly formed couple. Black eyes met icy blue and she felt her resolve crumble. He gave her a sympathetic smile, though it morphed into a grimace when he heard Cassie squeal out a 'Congrats you guys!' She locked her arms around his waist and he tucked her face into his chest, running a shaking hand through her hair.
"I hate her," she whispered hoarsely, shoulders trembling in both rage and grief. "I hate her so much."
"I know, Ara." He whispered back, sending the Martian a heavy glare when she locked eyes with him. He knew exactly what the red head had done before, and he knew she'd done it again.
"Arachna-"
The dark haired female cut her off before she could utter any more lies into her brain.
"Shut up, M'gann. You knew I liked him and yet you still chased him. You encouraged me, you told me I had a chance, and then you broke my heart for him. So shut the fuck up, slut. You've done this before, and I know good and well that it wasn't an accident. Don't apologize when you don't mean it."
The black eyed girl pulled away from the clone and stormed out of the room, purposely shoving the red head on her way out. She flipped the green male the bird when he called after her and then took off running. She ducked into her room and packed her bags, exiting the room full of spider-webs and making her way towards the zeta tubes.
"Ara?" The finned male called after her, all anger from before having disappeared at the sight of his best friend with a bag over her shoulder. "Where are you going?"
"I'm done with this hero gig. Too many traitors. And after all, with powers like mine, how could I be a hero?"
She sprinted through the zeta tube before he could respond, black tears already slipping from her equally black eyes. She exited on the other side and slid into the helicopter waiting for her, smiling weakly at the scarred face ahead of her. She stared at the empty building that the zeta tube exit resided in, gloved hands clenching the strap of her bag.
"I always knew you wouldn't want a monster like me."
So yeah. I just finished writing a college application essay for an assignment (now I have to "start a business") and I couldn't update my main story that I'm working on. So instead, I wrote an angsty one-shot, and expressed my minimal amount of hatred for M'gann. But I love her anyway. Although I love Robin more. I may continue this, but I'm not sure. Heh.
