Chapter 28

"Fuck, this is not happening" John was still holding Shayera and he felt so helpless, when she had starting crying he had felt his heart break, she never cried especially in front of other people, but when she had starting sobbing he had wanted to hit something "How in the hell did they disappear?"

"We don't know, but we think someone was watching the house" Bruce brought up some pictures on the computer screen, after J'onn had sedated Shayera they had gone to the main conference room, he had taken Shayera with him because he didn't want her to wake up and attack someone else again "We found two set of footprints around the house"

"Who would want to kidnap the babies and kill Shayera?"Clark was confused like all of them were, Clark looked at Shayera "I would understand if this had happened when everyone thought she was a traitor, but they have treated like they used to before the invasion since we released the video"

"One of the people watching her is a man and the other one is a woman" Bruce showed more pictures, there were footprints all around the house "What worries me is that you two didn't notice them"

"Do you know how long they been watching us?" he needed to know; why hadn't he noticed anything? If he had been paying more attention none of this would have happen "We haven't been living there very long"

"If I have to make a guess I would say since before you guys moved" John raised an eyebrow, how was that possible "They knew everything about you guys, they even timed it so we wouldn't noticed until it was too late"

"What makes you think they knew all this?" even Flash was worried, he hadn't make one joke yet "that would mean they were watching them even before she gave birth"

"I know they been watching her because I found a camera in her room"

"What?" Bruce had just dropped that bomb like it was the most normal thing in the world "Do you know how long is been there?"

"I would say almost a year"

"Whoever did this they knew what they were doing" Diana had been quiet until now "the question is how they got into her room and put the camera without anyone noticing"

"After the last time they broke in here we made sure that the Watchtower was more secure" Clark was frowning and John understood why, it was scary to think that someone could get into the rooms without anyone noticing "I don't understand how they did it"

"Because you guys are thinking that someone came from the outside" Everybody looked at J'onn "Maybe someone from the inside did it"

"Who would do something like that?" Diana asked "Everybody here likes Shayera and they wouldn't attack the babies"

"Vixen" the only thing in John's mind was that it wasn't possible; she wouldn't take a stupid rivalry so far, everybody was looking at Flash with a stunned expression on their faces "She doesn't like Shayera and we all know why she doesn't like the babies. I heard her once tell Shayera to get away from John"

"Yes, but she wouldn't take it that far" John knew she was manipulative bitch, but she wouldn't dare attack his children "She has no reason to do this"

"Yes she does" Flash put his hands on the table and looked at them "Don't you guys find strange that every time Shayera went on a mission with her she always got hurt, and after Shayera got pregnant she left and Bat said that the cameras been there for almost a year, no one from the outside could have done it, but she had a thousand opportunities and she is the only one that left the league"

Everybody's mouth was hanging open, no one had thought of that one.

"Well I'll be damned" Diana looked around her "something is terribly wrong in here, Wally just got smart"

"Thanks I-"he scowled at her "Hey, what is that supposed to mean?"

Shayera moaned and moved a little, John put a hand on her head and started stroking her hair in soothing motions; she opened her eyes and looked up at him.

"What happened?"

"J'onn gave you a sedative and you fell asleep"

"That explains why I feel so weak" she sat up, looked down and then back at him "Why am I in your lap?"

"Well the last time I left you alone you woke up and attacked four of our friends" he smiled at her "So I decided not to take that chance anymore"

"Aha" she looked around, then back at him and he saw the tears on her eyes "Did you found them?"

"No" God he hated tears and pain he saw in her beautiful eyes "but we have a lead, Bruce and Diana went to investigate"

"How are you feeling Shay?" she looked at Wally and lowered her head "Are you ok?"

"I'm sorry I attacked you" she smiled weakly at him "I hope I didn't hurt you"

"Is ok, I understand" he kissed her cheek "Do you need anything?"

"Yes, I need my babies"

"Shayera" God, she was killing him, he wasn't used to the tears, seeing her in that kind of pain was more painful than any punch she could give him "We'll find them, Bruce and Diana went to investigate a lead we found. Can you tell us what happen?"

"I don't know Aliyah was being fussy and you know that she is never fussy; I thought she was hungry so I fed her, but still she kept crying, she didn't need to be changed. I put her in her stroller to take her out for a walk" she stopped for a second, a frown on her face and he realized she was trying to remember "The front door was open and I remember thinking that it was weird because I made sure the door was locked before I went upstairs. Someone shocked me"

"What?" John frowned "What do you mean? Like with a teaser?"

"No, it was something a lot stronger than that" she put a hand to her head and rubbed it "everything went black after that"

"Is that all you remember?" J'onn asked her with concern in his eyes "Is there something else you can think about"

"No; well maybe, but I thought it was a nightmare "J'onn gestured with his hands and she kept going "I remember opening my eyes and the air felt hot like I was burning up, it was very hard to breathe and there was a man standing in front of me, he had Aliyah and Kaya in his arms"

"Could you see his face?" he couldn't believe someone had sneaked past Shayera "Did you know him?"

"No I couldn't see him" she kept rubbing her temples "but there was something familiar about him, I just can't remember"

John felt fear take control of him, his children where in the hands of a maniac who had tried to kill the woman he loved.
