Last chapter (for today anyways). Come back this Monday for more.


Chapter 6

September Is Over, So Wake Up Billy Bob


Everything dealing with the concert has been made official (including the reserved seats of course).

The other song I'm doing is (fittingly) Green Day's Time of Your Life.

2 hours to showtime and, if you ask me, the time cannot go fast enough.

That's why I'm playing Guitar Hero.

When I finish the song, Dick looks at me.

"You know, now that I really think about it, you are a Guitar Hero."

I can't help but grin.

Best.

Compliment.

Ever!

"Yeah, I guess I am."

Before, I know it, it's almost showtime.

"This Guitar Hero is going to go give her 4th concert now."

Dick chuckles as I grab my guitar and songbook.

"I really like having a Guitar Hero for a sister friend."

I smile as I head over to Bludhaven Park.

Sure enough, Bruce and Alfred are there.

I wave at them as I walk on stage.

"Today, I'd like to give a shout out to a few special guests. Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth from Gotham of all places. Glad to see you guys could make it because I heard the traffic was terrible. And from right here in Bludhaven, I give you guys Dick Grayson. Seriously, he may be a cop, but he's one of the best guys I know. To give you an idea of just how good he is, well, I might not be up here if it wasn't for him. This song is for you guys!"

With a grin on my face, I start playing Linkin Park's Shadow of the Day.

Love doing the guitar soloes.

Love it!

Then I flow effortlessly into the next one.

Man, I love doing this.

It almost feels as good as flying and that's really saying something.

Once I finish my concert, I step off stage to the enthusiastic cheers and applause of the crowd.

As Bruce, Alfred, and Dick look at me I can't help but grin.

"That was awesome H." "You have quite the gift, Miss Hannah." "I knew I came here for a reason."

I continue to smile as I thank all of them.

I've thanked Max and we're on our way to Dick's place when I feel a sudden, sharp pain.

"Miss Hannah!"

Not the third wave of pain now...
Got to stay conscious.


Bonus/Extended Scene


Dick's P.O.V


When H's concert is over, she steps off stage.

Shortly after she thanks Max, I notice pain seize her.

It's got to be the third pain wave.

Alfred looks shocked.

"Miss Hannah!"

She's clearly fighting to stay conscious but it's a losing battle.

I pull out the vial.

Looks like I've got some explaining to do...
