Save a life 4

"What about?" Danny asked

"How old are you dude?"

"Im 14"

I nodded. I thought about how I was gonna ask him what i needed to know without sounding pushy.

"How did you- how did you turn into..." My voice trailed off

"A ghost?" Danny said guessing my question. I nodded and sat and listened. He told me of how a friend convinced him to take a picture of him in his parents portal.

"A portal? To where?" I asked getting really intrigued.

"To the ghost realm." My eyes widened and i gasp a little

"wow" i said

Then he told me that he tripped and pressed some buttons turning the portal on and effecting his molecules. That day changed him forever. I say "How did you end up here?"

He then told me about his enemy Vlad Plasmius who nearly beat him to death. He flew off and ended up here.

I sat and processed his story. "Im sorry." Was all i could say.

"It's not your fault." He stated. He was staring down at his hands. And for a long time we said nothing. "What about you?" Danny asked.

"Huh?"

"Tell me about you." Danny said smiling.

"It's not a lovely story." I stated looking down at my lap.

"I'd still like to hear about you." I looked up Danny and smiled.

"Ok. Well my name is Persephone. But people call me Kitty." I sighed and said. " I don't remember much of my childhood...I know that my parents and siblings are dead. But that's about it on that department."

I shrugged. Danny asked "How old are you? 15? 16?"

I laugh and say "18"

"Oh." He said blushing. "And you're married." He said looking at my ring

"Yeah. Logan is my husband. We've been married for about two months now." I played with my ring.

"How did you meet?" Danny said really curious

"School," I smile "In anger management class. The teacher was frustrating us so Logan threw a chair through the window and i flipped over his desk. It was hilarious." I laugh at the old memory. "After that we wouldn't leave each others sides."

Danny smiled.

"When I turned twelve that is when the 'Changing' started."

"The Changing?" Danny asked.

"You don't know about it?" I say very confused. "I thought they teach it in school to prepare you."

"No. They never said anything about a 'Changing'" I stared at him for a second and say "You know nothing about it? Seriously?"

"Yeah. What is it?" Danny asked.

"A long time back a man named The Croc was locked up in an Asylum. Arkham Asylum to be specific. He had the idea of injecting people with different other species DNA. With help from a man named the a Joker him and a bunch of other villains took down the government and started this thing called the 'Changing'."

I closed my eyes and continued. " It started with killing people 60 and over, all of them...killed." I could feel tears forming. "People 40 through 50 where used as breeders. But some couldn't have kids at that age so they lowered the age and killed everyone over 50." I swallowed down my sadness. "Kids under 18 are put in a system to prepare them for when they turn 18. The people that aren't chosen for breeders are forced as lab rats,as soon as they hit 18. They do all types of experiments to try and build their army to take over the world but no one has survived."

Danny looked shaken to the bone. "How do you know all this?"

Tears slide down my cheeks and i said. "I was one of them"

"Oh who?"

"Of the people that took over the government. That watched as innocent people died." I sobbed.

Danny stared at me.

"I wasn't sane back then. I was different, i was bad. But I changed. I tried to save lives and do better. "

Danny patted my back and tried to calm me.

"I turned good. When Logan turned 18. I didn't want him to die or be with someone else. I took him and ran. That's when we found Bruce. He protected us and taught us fighting moves and he brought me back to sanity. We are trying to save others but kids are being brainwashed in schools."

I looked at Danny. I saw a sadness in his eyes. Pity.

"Im going to stop them one day. Im going to save America from their evil clutches."

"I believe you." Danny said "I believe you will."

I smiled and said "Don't tell the others you saw me cry. I don't want them to think im all soft." I giggle and Danny smiled with me.

"Deal?"

"Deal"

"Mom? Are you alright?" Brennon said behind me.

I turned and smiled "Yeah, honey im ok." Brennon glared at Danny "uh Brennon this is Danny, Danny this is my son Brennon"

"Son?" Danny asked

"Yeah. I found him about a year back. I always wanted kids and this poor guy had no one so i took him as my own."

Brennon wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face in my stomach. I run my hands through his hair and said to Danny. "So im guessing you want to go home?"

"Not...not right now" Danny said a little dizzy like.

I walked over to Danny and say "Come on you should lay down." Danny staggered and fell into my arms "LOGAN" i screamed and in a few seconds he was right beside me. "Here help me get him to a couch or something."

Logan and I carried Danny to the couch. "What happened to him?" Tim asked coming into the room.

"I told im about the 'Changing' and he passed out."

"I would too." Logan muttered.

Alfred appeared with an ice pact "Here, this should help."

I sighed and sat down "Crap i messed up."

"It's ok mom." Brennon said a hand on my shoulder.

I smiled and say "Thanks honey."

"Come on." Logan said grabbing me. He took me upstairs and into our room. "You need some sleep for our mission tonight."
