WARNING EXTREME CHILD ABUSE AHEAD PLEASE SKIP IF IT WILL TRIGGER YOU! I will post a summary of what it was in the endnotes. There is another warning when you get to that part.
"Hey, Miranda."
"Hello, Galene, did you have a good school week?"
"You could say that. I ended up getting sick and missing the school week" Miranda laughed, and Galene walks away toward the elevator. As she walking to her room Batman came in from the window.
"What's up? I thought that today was an off day for me?"
"I wish it was, Galene for the record I am very sorry for this." Batman passes over a chart.
"Sir, what does this mean?"
"Your mother was never poisoned. Dr. Vargas told you that to get your steal your money." Galene felt her blood run cold.
*W..what…. Mom was never poisoned…..*
"So what is wrong with her sir?
"From the test that I have run on her, it looks like stage five brain cancer. I'm sorry Seastar but there is no treatment plan for this late of cancer especially where it is located." Galene nearly collapsed where she stood, a chair slide underneath her before she truly collapsed.
"No… Mama….." Galene head went in her hands and she started to cry. *Mama I am so sorry! Come on Galene pick yourself back up and break down later.* Galene wiped her tears from her face and straighten her back.
"Do you know how much longer does she has?"
"From the rate her body is shutting down, I would have to say sometime within the next few weeks." Galene closed her eyes and a few tears slipped out. "Do you want to take a break from the team to take care of your mom?"
"Yes please, give me a month and tell them it is because of Leo. M'gann knows who I am and I really do not want anyone to know till I tell them."
"Understood. I will see you in a month then. Oh, don't worry about Dr. Vargas. I will deal with him." Galene nodded and moved to sit next to her mom.
"I wish that I knew that you weren't poisoned. But I promise that I will spend as much time by your side till Thanos takes you."
-(One week Time Skip)-
Galene kept her word. She never left the room with the exception when she snuck back to her hell hole once, to take a shower, even then it was never more than an hour. She lost her ability to cry a week ago. Somehow Galene got the feeling that today would be the last she would see her mom. Batman came almost every day, they never really talked much but some of the days he gave reports of the team, of how they were doing and all that. Apparently, M'gann and Connor have been running interference from her family saying that something came up and she would be gone on a previous school trip that she was going on for the month. Unfortunately, Galene knew that excuse would not work for long.
"Hello, daughter of the sea." Galene dull eyes looked up to see the chocolate brown eyes of Death."
"Ello Thanos. I'm guessing that it is my mom time then." She says with a rough voice. She rarely spoke even when Batman came. She mostly let him do all of the talking. He nodded. "Then you can take her. All I ask is that you make it as painless as you can."
"Rest easy Calm seas she will feel no pain." Galene nodded and slowly got up from her seat and walked to the door but stopped before it.
"I know that this would be considered rude but I ask that you would be gone before I come back as I do not wish to see you taking my mother. With that Galene walked out the door toward the chapel. It took her five minutes to reach it. She walks in. For once the room is empty. Galene took a seat near the middle. She lost track how long she was sitting there till a voice behind her started to talk.
"You know, you never struck me as a ravenette. I thought that red was your natural hair color." Galene looks back to the boy not much older than fourteen. He had a pair of black shades on as well as a jacket with a hoodie. She just looked back at the front. "Yea Bats said you weren't much for talking anymore." The boy moved so that he was right next to her. "I suppose that you are wondering why I'm here aren't you?" Galene just shrugged. Honestly, she could not give a flying fuck why Robin was here. "For one you actually made Batman worry for you, not to mention me right now. Secondly Bats is passing on the message that all of the money the slimeball stole from you will be returned to you in…" Galene suddenly stood up and glared and the Boy Wonder.
"But it will not give back my mother! All the money in the world will not get her back. I don't care about the money all I wish is that he pays for taking my mother away. I looked into it. Had he not tell me that she was poisoned, had he told me the truth I would not be here today. FUCK OFF ΚΟΚΚΙΝΟΛΑΙΜΗΣ (ROBIN). I'll come back when I'm ready." With that Galene left not noticing the small tracker that was placed on the inside of her jacket. When she got to back to the room she saw the new doctor writing something on his clipboard.
"Miss Star your mother passed away at 6 o'clock this morning. The body will be sent to the funeral home of your choice additional we have contacted your stepfather as well and he is on his way to pick you up. Galene just nodded. After all… she wasn't feeling anything so what did it matter anymore. Not three minutes passed when Sal waddled in.
"Come on! I don't have time waiting for you" Galene just turned and grabbed her bag and followed Sal out of the hospital.
WARNING EXTREME CHILD ABUSE AND LANGUAGE AHEAD PLEASE SKIP IF IT WILL TRIGGER YOU!
She didn't even make it into the living room when she felt a large fist hit her back, she briefly lost her breathe for a few moments then the fist became raining down on her. Galene curled in on herself to try and protect her head. Sal then started to kick her till she could just lay there a bloody mess.
"You see that what happens when you get close to anyone. YOU FUCKING KILL THEM! I'll teach you though you won't be leaving this apartment till you learn your fucking lesson bitch. Starting with a proper thrashing."*He is right, I can't let the team find out. I am sorry.* Galene place several mental blocks around her mind locking M'gann out, while Sal unbuckled his belt and swung it down across her back with a sharp crack. Galene just laid there too hurt to move. To her, it felt like hours before she felt Sal pick her up and tossed her into a broom closet. "You don't deserve a room freak. After all, you killed your own precious mummy. Killers don't get anything but a good proper thrashing. See you later FREAK!" Sal slammed the door shut and Galene barely heard a deadbolt and a lock snap in place over the static in her head. It did not take her long to slip into the darkness.
Basically, Sal punched Galene in the back then the rest of her body. Galene made the decision to block M'gann link to her, afterward Sal whipped her back to shreds. Then tossed her in a broom closet. The warning will travel to the next page then will only be said in passing.
