I roll in the bed for the third time. I should sleep but I don't think I can, my head keeps thinking about what had had happened today.
Nightwing told me to stay overnight in the tower because my identity was already known by members of HIVE Five and it would certainly spread rapidly in the criminal world. I refused -of course- and said I could take care of myself. I never want them to enter my fight, never ever but Kid Flash and Robin are so persistent so is the rest of the team of Titans. They say that now that we are a team we should learn to trust each other and share our worries. That really touche, but I still refuse. However, after a short talk with Raven, I finally agree.
I open my eyes and watch the gray wall beside my bed. Right now I was inside one of the guest rooms in the Titans Tower. The bed is very soft and comfortable but still very weird and odd since I used to sleep on my bed.
I rolled again and moved my feet until the soles of my feet touched the floor. I took my jacket which was located on the chair and immediately put in on. I pressed the button next to the door and let the door opens automatically, slowly I looked into the hallway, right and left. No one. Slowly I went forward and let the door to my temporary room close automatically.
I move and turn right where I know there is a stair that leads to the upstairs and into the roof. I stop and take a look at the door that is next to me, The one who occupied the room right now is Kid Flash. Yes him. The reason is very obvious.
He also stays overnight in the tower and now he is beside my temporary room. I didn't have time to talk to him alone since he was fixing most of the broken stuff, I spent my time with Raven and Starfire and Karrie, whose real name was Nightfire. I learn much stuff like about Raven relationships right now with BB and about Nightwing and Starfire that finally take a step.
My feet moved again and I moved towards the stairs and walked upstairs.
I opened the roof door and shivered in cold as the cold wind touched my skin. My hand reflexively moved and hugged my jacket tightly. I looked up and watched the sky. The moon on this night is not full, but still beautiful with its light and surrounded by stars. My eyes held captive by the beauty that my worries are gone for the moment. I take another move and stood in the middle of the rooftop before slowly lower myself down and sit on the cold floor before finally I lay down on the cold floor but my head didn't hit the cold-hard floor, it more hit something warm and hard but not cold like I expected.
I quickly look beside me and startled when I saw that Kid Flash- no- Wally since he wears normal clothes, he already lay on the floor with his arm held out for me. I gap and ready myself to sit up but his other handheld me down as he whispers "Don't worry."
As if that could assure me!
"What are you doing here?" I ask and glare at him, slowly to scoot away a little from him when he lifts his hand away from my stomach.
He just smiles at me before moving his gaze toward the sky before answering my question that I forgot for a minute because of that smile "Stargazing."
I look at him for about a minute and look back toward the sky and do the same but he keeps me distracted. From the heat that crawls toward my skin that is coming from his hand and his body and his breath. I keep trying to scoot away from him but when his hand tightens I decide to stop and just try my hard to pay attention to the night sky.
The cold air tonight is really very chilly and without noticing I began to scoot closer for some warm. I close my eyes for a second and slowly take a deep breath, I could smell his scent that I love. I smile slowly when he didn't change anything and I think I fall asleep after that because when I open my eyes, I couldn't smell his scent again nor his warm as I felt my bed is cold but then again it was always cold. I look around the empty room, slowly take the blanket off me, and swung my leg to the side of the bed.
I notice that I was still wearing my jacket. A thought appears on my head as I deduce that he must have carried me back to my room. I smile when I try to picture he carried me. It was nothing new yet still able to make my heart race every second...
I sigh in defeat, "Can I even live without him?"
I keep pondering about the answer but I know that part of me doesn't want to think about it again.
I jump a little and quickly look at the door when I heard someone approach it. I wait until there was a knock before I say for them to come in. The door automatically slides open to show who is the one that knocking on my doorstep. I look up and saw Cyborg.
"How are you?"
"Fine, Raven did a great job at healing me," I answer as I stand up, "What going on?"
"They got Nightfire." He says with seriousness.
"What?! How?" My eyes widen in surprise and look at Cyborg, his expression didn't seem like he was joking and I didn't think that anyone would joke like that.
"They send me their message, come." Cyborg motion his hand for me to come and I quickly nod but then realize that I was still on my sleepwear, I told him to go ahead and I will follow soon. Cyborg nod in understanding and close the door as he left. I quickly not wasting time and change my clothes before quickly walk with a big step toward the main room.
I enter the room and all of the eyes are on me, I ignore it and move forward to stand beside Kid Flash. I don't know so don't say anything about that, I just felt comfortable with him beside me. Somehow. I open my mouth and say "What's happen?"
Nightwing moves forward and I just notice that Bumblebee is her too as she stood next to Starfire as she was trying to console the angry alien so that Starfire didn't do anything ridiculous with her anger state. Nightwing says "It's the HIVE, We just got their message this morning." He took the remote and click some button and then another click. I look up and saw the TV screen that shows a video then he click the play button.
Then Gizmo shows up with his Smile and says some unimportant things, slowly Billy come into the screen view and then mammoth and then Seemore and then in the middle Kyd Wykkyd appear suddenly. All of them include Kyd Wykkyd was smiling evilly that would make me shiver but right now I was too angry to care about that stupid things. All of them start mocking the Titans, especially Nightwing and explain how they got Nightfire so easily. Then they stop when the sound of someone and it was probably a woman but I shouldn't be so sure about that with the technology right now.
But then the woman assures me that it was her real voice and not some program. She didn't show up on the screen but she keeps talking about some trading stuff. I keep hearing her while keeping an eye on the five men on the screen.
The woman says, "Let's end this for good. Meet me at the Bridge and make sure that no one could pass there, I don't care if any one of them got hurt or maybe die but surely you guys care and I don't like it if your mind is on something else. I expect that only the main member to come but you guys could bring the Flashy boy and the traitor,"
There is no question about who is that.
"You don't follow our rules and let see what happen to your Nightfire. Now see you tomorrow. May Luck on your side." Then the screen turns black.
I said, "It's a trap."
"We know that but we still have to come." Raven stand up from the couch and look at Nightwing before shaking her head "I couldn't find her anywhere."
BB come beside her and put his hand on her back, he looks serious and gives Nightwing a shook too. Nightwing just let out a deep breath and close his eyes before thinking about the other plan.
"Those Scum bags, I will kill each of them and make sure to feed them to Quesors." Starfire shout.
Bumblebee just pats her back "Calm down, honey, nothing will resolve with you getting angry."
I look at Nightwing that didn't show any anger but his eyes were still concealed by his mask so I couldn't be sure how he feels about this but I was fairly very sure that he would throttle any man near him since he has been keeping his hand behind his back and from every muscle that works or tense shows it at how much he was holding himself. I was amazed by how his voice is calm.
Kid Flash advanced a little and said to Nightwing "Do you know whose voice it is? They do say that it is not because the program and their voice is real. Are there any female villains who have such voices?"
Nightwing thought for a while and finally, he said: "No, I'm sure I never met her, her voice was very new in my ears."
"I have," I said and I got the attention of all the people in the same room as me. I looked at Bumblebee "You met her when you were undercover in HIVE but she rarely speaks and was only open with a few people and I wasn't included but one of my members knew him very well so I had heard her speak without her knowledge."
"Who?" Bumblebee and Kid Flash ask at the same time.
"Angel." I smile "She must be the new leader now."
Bumblebee raises her eyebrows "The girl who attack me?"
"I think, I didn't know she attacks you."
"Oh yeah, she attacks me on the air before we defeat the brotherhood of evil."
Nightwing takes my attention and says "What do you about her?"
"I don't know many but I once read a document about her ability, she can natural flight through wings, ability to enlarge wings at will and superhuman speed when flying, that's is all I know," I explain and look at Cyborg that already walk toward the computer and start typing. Then the screen change and then reports forward and all of them have Angel name on it.
Cyborg turns around and starts reporting, "It is not much about her, I just found three reports in her name and none of them shows the place where Nightfire is. What do you wanna do?" He looks at Nightwing and waits for his reply.
He thinks about it for such a long time and doesn't mean to be rude but my leg starts to felt tired. I start to wiggle a little my leg trying hard so that no one noticed but I really shouldn't underestimate Kid flash. He seems to notice everything I do that really annoyed me but kind of sweet. He suddenly put a hand beneath my leg and then around my waist and scoop me up fast, I bit my lips to stop me from shrieking. He flashes and then my butt hits the soft cushion.
Flash Kid smiled but a second later became serious again, he looked at Nightwing "Are we leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes, I really want to put an end of this too."
"Right now we should just close the bridge."
Nightwing nodded and look at BB "Can you do that? Close every side of the bridge."
BB nodded. He gives Raven a peck of a light kiss on her cheek before turn around and walks toward the door again.
Then Nightwing looks at Raven, "I want you to help Jinx with her power."
Raven nodded and look at me "Come, Jinx, let me help you to control your power." I nodded but didn't move, neither did Raven.
Bumblebee look at Robin "We could give them a surprise attack and easily defeat them with the help of titans east."
Nightwing say "Thank you but I guess it would be better if you guys not interfere. I don't want to risk my daughter's life but I need your guys to help me. I don't think that they would bring Nightfire with them so I want your team to find her while we are fighting with them."
"Where? Raven and BB already search for her and still didn't found anything." Bumblebee asks.
"We didn't search the whole entire city, just some that are close-by and suspicious one." Raven points out.
I suddenly say "I think I have some conclusion. I always check on my team before I left them, but I'm not sure if this are any use since it was a long time ago. There are four places that Kyd had gone to for the third time. The first one is a cafe name Elizabeth Tea, then a park that no one ever comes, Fun Park, then another park located near the kindergarten school, Sakura park, and lastly is a hotel, Gulytur hotel."
"Okay then, We will start checking around there." Bumblebee nodded.
Nightwing nod at Bumblebee as she excuses herself, his attention turn back to me "Jinx, you should start training. You haven't used your power for a long time."
"let's go to my room." Raven mention for me to come again as she flies and waiting on an open door.
I stand up and walk toward her. When I stand up I could felt a hand brush against mine, I didn't look up as I already knew who did that. I just keep walking until I reach her and that is when I take a quick look at him.
He looks sad for a brief second.
I didn't question it.
Then the door automatically closes when I step outside of the main room.
