Chapter two...
Stella...
The party has been boring, so far. I started looking for Charlotte, Addison, and Harper. I walked over to my dad. I lightly touched his shoulder, " Daddy, do you know where Barbra's kids are?" I ask
he was in the middle of a conversation, so he just says " Who's, What?"
"You know Barbra Gordon. Her kids, where are they?" I ask
"Oh, them." he says
"yeah them." I say
"Charlotte, Harper, and Addison are over there." he pointed them out next to the pool.
"Thanks." I say, and hurry over to them.
I sneak up behind them, so that I am practically breathing down their neck.
"knock, knock." I say and they do a tiny 10 foot jump. "does every one have their sautes with them?"
"Yes" they say in-sync
"Did we get the right colors this time?" I ask
"i think" Charlotte says. Charlotte is the oldest at 15.
"What were they?" Addison asks. Addison is the second eldest at 14.
I sigh and say, " Ivan is gray. Charlotte is yellow. Addison is green. Harper is pink. Violet is purple. I am midnight blue. Xavier is black."
"OK, so I think we got it right." Harper says
"Good. I got on the down-low that there maybe an attack tonight." I sighed "i sent batman an email, but nothing, I swear he never checks it."
"how has it gone so far on the search for Robins identity?" asks Addison
"i don't know. We need to ask the boys on that one." I say
" Where are they?" I ask almost laughing
"They're probably going after some poor cocktail-waitress." Charlotte says
"We better find them, fast." I say
"Heck yeah!" Addison says
"shayeah!" Harper says
We walk through the crowds like a pack on the hunt, until I feel arms wrapped around my waist and hear "were you looking for me."
I turn around, and see Ivan. "Yes, actually."
He scrunched up his nose " Am I in trouble?"
"yes,because I don't believe these." I lifted up his arms limply "belong around my waist."
"humph!" he grumbled
"Anyway we need to know what you guys have found, about, you know what." I say
"oh," he says and put a hand on the small of my back as we walked into the shadows. " We have been working out stuff and we really don't know. We searched to our New York branch and it turns out that Grayson is a uncle, and his niece and nephew should be here soon."
"wait you invited someone to my party!" I say exasperated
"no. Your brother did." he says on the defense.
"lets go find Violet, and Xavier." I say clearly not amused
rustle, rustle. I got into fighting position in all of three seconds. Out of the bush out popped Xavier, and Violet. "You talking about us?"
"oh, you are sooooo in trouble!" Harper says very helpfully.
"uh oh. Would it help if I told you that the Grayson's are here?" he asks
"no." I say in a strict tone
"what if I told you that we need to change, because the baddies are going to be here in about... now!" he says
Crash!
"Lets go!" I barked
