I'm in an office with new clothes on. They're soft against my skin and warm me. Black Canary is staring at me from behind the desk. "So Silver, do you mind telling us where you came from?" I knew this was coming. Ever since I blurted out that I was new to Central City, it has sent everyone on edge. "Um, I'm not quite sure where, actually." My skin is burning and my hands are clammy. I knew exactly where I was, and I am still a horrible liar.
"Could you tell me the geography?" She asks as if I am a child. Not in an insulting way, but almost like she needs to be delicate with my emotions. "It was like a tundra" I say but it comes off more as a question. This part is true, and I calm down a little. I can't let them find it. The Justice League has the right mindsets, but I fear she might find me again. If she does, it's all over for me. The punishment for escaping is death.
"Hey, it's alright" Black Canary's voice is in my ear and I realize she is hugging me. My cheeks are wet. "I'm sorry to bring up bad memories." I wipe my face furiously. "It's fine. I'm fine." The touching is bothering me, but she lets go after awhile. "We've been discussing your predicament," she pauses. She's talking about how I'm basically a homeless mutant. She isn't wrong, but it still hurts. "You aren't right for the Justice League, but we do know a team you just might be right for." A tiny smirk is showing on her face. "I don't know much about it, but I assume by your expression I'll be quite interested."
A/N: I apologize for the length of this chapter.. It was mostly a filler but I felt like it needed to be here. The next chapter is coming soon, though. Thank you.
