"-Ella esta bien?"
"No se, Menos. Ella se ve muy palida.
What were those voices? It sounded like they were speaking Spanish. I've taken a few Spanish classes in my sophomore year, but didn't really keep up with it. My ghost hunting got in the way of my homework and to be honest I never liked taking that class. The only reason I did was so my mom would drop the restraining order against Danny.
I groaned at the wave of pain washing over me. Most of my body was beyond sore. If felt like I had swam a mile and my body was now paying the price.
"Creco que se esta despertando!"
"Tomare Speedy!"
The first thing I saw was an older teen. He was wearing some sort of white jump suit with black and red design and yellow goggles that covered the upper half of his face. I frowned at the negative signs on his chest and ears.
Another one came in, his outfit was almost identical, but instead of a minus symbol, his had a plus. Negative and positive?
"Mira, mira! Esta despietra!" The second twin shouted. Behind him came an older man, mostly clad in red.
I felt my eyes widen, he defiantly looked like Mom. I could see the resemblance clearly now, heck they ever look the same age.
"Uncle Speedy," I breathed. So this was the guy who gave me to Mom and Dad. The man who might have my answers about my biological parents.
He raised an eye brow, "Uncle?" I guess he doesn't recognize me. Then again, I've never seen this man before, so I'm only guess it's mutual for him.
"Yeah," I mumbled. "I'm the girl you gave to the Mansons." I honestly never meant to be so blunt, but it was better then just beating around the bush and getting nowhere.
If possible the mask he wore stretch wider with his eyes, "Samantha…?"
"Just Sam," I said with a small chuckle. I hope the awkwardness will wear off soon. "I hate being called Samantha."
His jaw worked silently, but no words escaped. He looked like a gasping fish. The twins came to his sides, waving their hands in front of his face.
When he didn't change, the twins both shrugged. "Cree usted que esta loco?" Said the minus twin.
"Yo no 'se, pero le debria despetar a salir de esto." They both nodded to each other, grinning almost evilly. The twin with the positive sign pulled his hand back and slapped my uncle across the face. Then the siblings grabbed hands and high tailed it out of there.
Wow, I didn't think they could move so fast.
I refocused on my uncle who was rubbing the pain out of his cheek, regaining his composure. His lips were pulled down in a frown. "How did you get here?"
"I had a friend drive me."
He shook his head, "No, I mean how did you find your way to the tower? How did you end up in the freaking ocean. You almost got killed! If Aqualad hadn't saved you then you would have literally been fish food!"
I may not have met this man before, but his shouting actually made me feel a sudden wave of guilt. I thought back to what had happened and to be honestly I can explain it. It just seems so sudden.
I had been running from the police. One minute I was in Steel City, then the next I was falling into the ocean. There was no way I could have just walked over a cliff, there should have been some sort of block to keep people from falling off right?
I would assume so, but how did I even end up in the ocean? I just wanted to get away from the police.
My stomach twisted into unfriendly knots. Did I teleport myself? How? I wasn't even sure if I had powers. If I was the daughter of Raven and Beast boy, would I have super powers like them?
Once again, none of this was making any sense.
"I honestly don't know." I shrugged. "I was only hoping you would have answers."
He just stared at me like I was crazy. Maybe I am. I've been under so much stress it's not even funny. I wouldn't be surprised if I was as crazy as the ghosts we fight on a daily basis.
"When did you find out about your real parents?"
I shrugged, "A few days ago. Look, I don't want to waste your time and I know that this was probably a really stupid idea. I'll be honest with you, I have no clue what is pushing me to do this, but I want some answers."
"And you expect me to answer them?" He asked.
I shrugged, "I was hoping you could lead me to where they are. I just want to know what happened. Why did my real parents leave, why didn't anyone tell me I was adopted or that you're actually my uncle? Those are some of the questions I want answered."
He frowned and shook his head, "This is ridiculous. You ran away form home, just because you want answers?"
I was getting annoyed too. "Look, you can be pissy all you want, I honestly don't give a fuck. I've already done enough damage as it is with my family and I'm not going back to face the consequences until I know it's worth it."
His expression softens, "You're just as stubborn as your mother."
"Which mother?"
He sighed with a weak smile, "Well, I guess you deserve some answer, but I always thought my sister would have told you by now."
"So you guys are siblings." I smiled; at least they didn't lie to me about that.
"Actually we're twins." My eyes widen. Speedy was Mom's twin brother?
"Listen closely, Sam," he began."This might get a little complicated." It was hard not to snort at that comment. My whole life is complicated, even before I found out I was adopted.
"The Titans had to leave for a mission in space," He began."Your parents placed you in my care. It was only suppose to take a few days, but that soon escalated into months.
"We had our hands tied, between trying to take care of you and protecting our home. Another month passed and we lost contact with them. None of us were sure what had happened; we tried waiting, but after three months passed, we realize that they might not ever come back."
My stomach twisted into more knots. I could hear my heart pounding like a drum.
"None of us where sure what to do. We wanted to keep you here, just in case they returned, but at the same time we didn't have the ability to take care of you and still be heroes."
I swear he looked ready to cry.
"Bumblebee thought it would be best for you to live in a normal environment, where you won't have to worry about getting hunted and killed by our enemies, or those of your parents. I was the one who suggested you stay with my sister and her husband. They always wanted a child and a little girl to call their own would make them happy."
"What about my powers?" I couldn't keep myself from asking.
"Your mother sealed them with in you," He sighed. "She didn't want you to go out of control while you were so young. But she said that over time the spell will break as you get older and more focused with your emotions."
I immediately concluded, "So, I have my mother's powers?"
Speedy nodded, "Yes, as far as we could tell you did, but you were only a baby. It might have changed over the years."
"So that means I'm probably going to unlock them soon. Right?" It was a scary thought. A week ago, I didn't even know I had powers. This was becoming a lot to take in.
"Yes, possibly," He answered.
In other words, teleportation might not be the only power I might have.
Translation:
-she okay?
I don't know, Menos. She looks pretty pale.
I think she's waking up!
I'll grab Speedy!
Look, look. She's awake!
Do you think he's crazy?
I don't know, but we should wake him out of this.
AN: I'm not very fluent in Spanish, I only know a few words and that's about it. I got the translations from Google, so please don't be angry with me on this. I kind of feel I went a little fast with this chapter and I'm sorry if I did.
