Chpt.9
Billy wasn't that bad once I started talking to him. Not to say that I wasn't still concerned for Zinda though. I knew in my gut that she was hurt.
Suddenly, I could feel my head get dizzy, and I fell to the ground.
"Rose! Rose, you okay? Rose?" I could see Billy trying to keep me awake, but my eye lids felt heavy, and I passed out.
I could see Zinda. She had a knife placed at her neck and her feet were bleeding and had glass in them.
"Don't move or I will kill you." hissed the man, holding the knife. The image blurred out of my mind, but soon a new image came. It was my Ma, sitting in her office at work. Her door then opened, and into the room came a man.
"You!" Ma exclaimed in a shocked voice. "How did you…" the man immediately cut her off.
"Miss me? I thought you might." he smirked. He was an older man with white hair. He wore a trench coat and an eye patch.
"Get out." Ma stated sternly. The man let out an eerie chuckle.
"So rude. I was expecting a warmer welcome." he grinned evilly. Ma was trembling, but I could tell that she was trying to stay strong.
The man made his way to a photo on Ma's desk. It was our family portrait.
"Cute family you got here." he smiled, then pointed a finger at me in the picture. "Very cute indeed." Ma snatched the photo from his hands.
"Stay away from them!" she growled.
"Or what?" he smirked, taking a step foreword. "You don't have a husband to hide behind any more." he slowly pulled out a small hand gun. "Don't worry. You two should be reunited soon." And with that, he pulled the trigger.
"No!" I opened my eyes and started sobbing. I was in Billy's arms and he was flying again. Seeing the ground below made me yelp in fright, and I continued to cry. Once Billy noticed this, he quickly landed back on the ground.
"Sorry. I thought that since you passed out I could fly again. I didn't know you'd wake up. Please don't cry." he said softly.
"My… my Ma. A man shot my Ma. And Zinda… a guy had a knife to her throat and she had glass in her feet!" I cried. Billy seemed to not know what to do. He finally stated,
"I can radio the JLA to see where Zinda is now if you want."
"And my Ma?" I inquired.
"I'll see if I can ask them to check on how she's doing." I nodded my head, and he quickly started to contact people on his COM link.
"Zinda's at Wayne Manor. If you want I can take you there." he informed.
"Okay." I nodded, tears still streaking my face. I then quickly added, "But please, no flying." Billy lifted me up, and ran at what felt like super speed until we stopped at a door attached to a giant mansion.
We knocked and the door was answered by an older man.
"Hiya Alfred. Rose wanted to see her sister." Billy smiled.
"Of course, come in." the man called Alfred smiled. I walked into the mansion and immediately saw my sister, glaring at a boy my age.
"I hate you." he growled at my sister.
"Ditto." Zinda growled back.
"I could kill you."
"But you can't."
"Oh, I could."
"But you won't." Zinda shot back.
"Zinda." I stated in a squeak. She looked down at me, and her scowl instantly melted into a smile. I ran over and hugged her tightly.
"Zinda I missed you!" I exclaimed.
"Me too. I'm just happy you're alright." Zinda smiled, the glared at the little boy, and a young man. My eyes widened. That was the man who had the knife at Zinda's throat!
"Zinda! I had a dream with that guy in it! He put a knife to your throat and your feet had glass in it!" I said in a panic.
"Rose, settle down. That already happened. And in some twisted way, that man, who's name is Jason, was trying to help." Zinda explained.
"But… what about…"
"Oh no." I heard Billy whisper behind us. He had his hand on his COM link in his ear. "Yes. I'll tell them."
"What's going on?" Zinda inquired, seeing the solemn look on Billy's face.
"Your Mom…" he started, but I knew what happened, and started to sob. "Your mom… the League found her in her office. She was shot." he informed. Zinda was fighting to hold back tears, and I hugged her sobbing.
"It was a creepy old guy!" I cried. "He was saying weird stuff to Ma and she wanted him out. Then he mentioned Pa and pulled out a gun."
"Why would an old guy…" Zinda couldn't hold back t-her tears any longer and cried with me.
"What did this guy look like?" the man called Jason inquired.
"He had white hair and an eye patch."
"An eye patch?" Billy questioned. Zinda had a scowl on her face.
"Slade." she hissed.
