Chpt.6

Storm

Alfred had me wash up and go to be so that I could wake up earlier the next morning so Batman… I mean, Bruce, could show me around the city.

It was strange to look out my window and not see Earth. Well… I did see earth but I didn't see the entire planet like I usually did. It seemed flat here. Like the entire place was on one giant plane and not a round circle.

Being on Earth sure was strange to me.

I slowly closed my eyes as I cuddled into my warm blanket and rested my head on my pillow. I was tired and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

BOOM!

My eyes snapped open and I looked out the window. The sky was still dark, but water was falling from the sky and bright flashes of light were in the clouds followed by loud grumbles.

Is this from Tala? Did she find me? I thought in a panic. A line of light zigzagged close to the ground and another loud BOOM erupted.

I bolted up from my bed and looked around for help.

"Is… is anyone awake?" I squeaked as I walked through the hallway, and there was another rumble that seemed to make the house shake.

"Batman?" I questioned. Another grumble. I was trembling as I walked around the dark hallways, looking for help.

"Batman?" I whispered again. There was a loud BOOM and I dropped onto the ground, covering my head in case something was to fall on me.

"BATMAN!" I exclaimed in panic as I curled up, trying to protect myself.

"Autumn?" I heard a voice question. I was still shaking as I looked up, and I saw Tim standing in his pajamas in front of me.

"Tim what's…" another loud BOOM erupted and I curled up again. Tim walked over and knelt next to me.

"C'mon Autumn." He said gently as he helped me to my feet, and he guided me to his bed room as I sealed my eyes shut and clutched onto his shirt.

We both sat on his bed, and another BOOM shook the house and my grip on him tightened.

"What's going on, Tim? Is the mean lady trying to get me? Is she causing this? Does she know where I am? Are we gonna die? Where's Batman? Is this supposed to stop? What's the white stuff that's flashing in the sky? Why does it sound like bombs are going off? I…"

"Autumn." Tim said softly, rubbing my back, and I calmed down slightly due to his tone of voice and action.

"Autumn, this is not from the lady. This is a thunderstorm." He informed calmly. I looked up at him, tilting my head to the side in confusion.

"A thunderstorm?"

"Yes. It rains and gets windy, and there's the thunder which makes the loud boom, and then there's lightning, which is the flashes of lights." He informed.

I looked out the window curiously.

"A thunderstorm. Wonder Woman told me about rain, and thunder, and lightning, but I never actually seen it before." I informed honestly.

"It's not that important. It just happens." Tim shrugged, however I kept my eyes glued on the window as I watched the rain splatter on it, and listened to the wind howling.

There was then a bright flash of lightning and a loud BOOM that made me jump in surprise.

Tim chuckled and gave my shoulder a tight squeeze.

"Do you wanna stay in here for the night with me? You still seem pretty shaken up." He informed, and I nodded my head.

"Yes please."

I buried myself into the covers and could feel the warmth of Tim next to me. He ruffled my already messy brown hair, and then rested his head on his pillow.

"Good night Autumn." He smiled. I couldn't help but smile back at him.

"Good night Tim." I state, and he was fast asleep. I listened to the rain, wind and thunder outside of the house and took in even breaths, trying to calm myself down and remind myself that it couldn't hurt me.

I'm safe here. I don't have to worry because I'm safe here. I told myself as I felt Tim wrap his arms around me and drag me close to his chest like I was a teddy bear. I didn't mind it though. Him holding me made me feel more secure.

I'm going to be alright. I thought to myself as my eyelids felt heavy and I knew I couldn't stay awake much longer. That lady won't find me here because I'm safe. My head sunk into the pillow. I'm completely safe.
