Robin's pov
As I see a woman running down the alley, Megan quickly transformers into her and takes her place. She rushes Selene into a different alley then Megan starts to run down the alley. I can hear Kaldur shout as a gun fires. Megan falls to the ground as an engine starts. After 5 minutes, she gets up and motions to his mother. She quickly follows behind Megan as she comes to us. we rush to the Bioship as Kaldur's mother rushes to Conner and Clark. We fly back to the mount and get her to the medical bay. After about an hour of worrying, Kaldur's mother comes out, leaning lightly on Arthur.
"Good. You're up." I say as I walk to her slowly.
"Please. What of my son?" She asks with fear and weakness lacing her voice.
"Don't worry. We'll find. I promise." Roy says confidently.
"Who are you?" She asks looking at Roy.
"I'm- his partner." He says softly.
"On the battle field?" She asks.
"Something like that. Yeah." Roy answers.
"Good." She whispers while nodding.
It surprises me that Roy didn't say that he is Kaldur's boyfriend. I don't think much of it when Selene stares at the necklace in her hands.
"What is that?" I ask while looking at her hands.
"My son. I was able to get this picture out of an article on the men who were new recruits in the military. At that time I have not seen him since he was 8 years of age. He is 13 in that picture. When I left him in the hospital, I only wanted him a better life for him. If he does not come back, I shudder at the thought of losing him again. Please, find my son." She begs as tears flow through her eyes as she reveals the picture inside the necklace.
"Kaldur is going to be ok. I promise. He is a fighter Selene, you know that." Arthur says.
"He said that he knows how to beat them. But how does he know?" Wally asks.
"Maybe.." I start but don't finish due to a call on the monitor.
Kaldur pov
As I am being dragged to a different, I think of my mother. I never even told her about Roy. I will never be able to see her serious yet gentle smile. Never hear her voice again. Never her hair white I used to tangle my fingers in when I was young. I keep telling myself, ordering myself that she is somehow alive. That the bullet missed her and hit a pole and she just ducked for cover. But I know I am only lying to myself. I lost her forever, and it's all my fault. I am shocked out of my thoughts when I am thrown on the floor and the Manta is standing a few feet away from me. I feel the handcuff being removed and I hear the door slam. I stand up slowly as the Manta walks around me like a shark in the water. He nods to one of the guard in the corner, sitting near a computer.
"Hello my son." Manta purrs to me.
"I am not your son." I growl at him.
He has a smirk on his face. I see a camera on the wall and the team looking at me. I am shocked and happy to see my mother.
"Mother?" I ask hesitantly.
"Kaldur?" She says slowly.
"Mother! How are you alive? Are you alright?" I ask feeling a little better.
I hear the door open and Simon walks in the room. I back away from him slowly but stop when I hear him in my head. I scream in pain as I fall to the ground. I try to block him out but fail painfully. I focus on making him stop then the pain stops. I stand up and walk to him slowly. He tries harder to stop me but it's too late. I touch his forehead then he collapses on the floor. I nearly collapse next to him but catch myself. I turn to see the shocked look on the Manta's face.
"It is called mental blood bending. It is bending the water in a person causing the person's mind to move at my will." I explain with a light smirk.
"How did you," Manta starts but didn't finish.
"I have always known who I am. And what I can do." I say proudly.
"You really are my son." Manta says.
"I will never be you son." I growl at him.
"And you claim to be Arthur's." He says.
"He will always be a better father than you." I tell him in my usual calm yet stern tone.
When I say this he slaps me square in the face. He kicks at me like he used to do to me. I can hear my mother and team screaming at Manta to stop. After about 5 minutes he finally stops. I slowly pick my head up and try to stand on my shaking legs. I try to hold myself up by holding on to the wall. He kicks my hard in the stomach with his boot. I bend over in pain as the wind gets knocked out of me and slowly fall to the ground. I hear my mother beg him in Atlantean to stop but he doesn't listen. I hear a click of a gun and look up slowly. I am staring down a barrel of a gun.
"Manta don't do it! Don't do it!" Arthur threaten as Roy curses.
"Stop it!" The team screams.
"I swear on fucking grave Manta I will kill you!" Roy screams.
"Not my son. I beg of you!" Mother screams in tears.
"I want you to beg for you life. Just like you used to back in that house." Manta says to me.
I glare at him, not saying a word. He hits me with the back of the gun, causing the women to scream. I look at him with my bloody mouth and stare him down.
"Any last words?" He asks teasingly as he cocked the gun.
I look at the screen with tears swelling in my eyes but refuse to let them fall. Not in front of him.
"Mother I- I am so sorry for everything. I am sorry that I hated for so long and I forgive you. I love you mother so much. And I love my family." I explain as I fight tears.
"Stand up." He orders loudly.
"Team look away. Right now." I order as I stand on my wobbly legs.
He holds the gun a few feet away from me. I slide my ring of my left hand and clutch it in my right hand. The heart is on the right side of the body. I want to hold he last thing Roy gave me closest to my heart. I close my eyes slowly and wait. I hear a loud bang and a scream as I fall to the ground.
"No!" I hear multiple people scream as sobs soon take over.
"I love you my love." I whisper as I slip unconscious.
Kaldur'ahrm is dead.
