Chapter 113: Girl

There was a cacophony of noise outside when she woke up. Dinah looked at the clock and saw the time. She groaned, were those kids back again? Slowly she got out of bed, careful not to wake their kid and put on a dressing gown and padded to the front door. She pressed her ear to it and heard voices, one of them sounded aggressive. She grabbed the dagger that lay by the door and put it in her pocket, then opened the door.

"What's going on?" She asked.

Immediately the two men, or rather the man and boy who were arguing stopped. "Dinah, sorry hunny." Ollie said immediately.

"What's going on?" Dinah asked again.

"The kid wants me to answer something." Ollie replied.

"What?" Dinah asked. "It's four in the morning."

"Well, this couldn't wait." The kid said, Dinah looked at him and felt a mixture of contempt and sadness for him. Conner Kent, the boy who was technically Clark's son, but also his brother or some such. He'd been sucked into this without any reason to resist.

"What do you want to talk about?" Dinah demanded, her fingers started closing around the dagger's handle.

"Why was the Martian Manhunter here?" Conner demanded.

Dinah looked at Oliver, eyebrow raised, he sighed. "He wanted me to know why I was staying out of the fight."

"And, why are you?" Conner demanded.

"Because we've got a kid." Dinah said. "You lot can fight one another, but we're staying out of it."

"And if you don't have a choice?" Conner asked.

Dinah started pulling the dagger out of her pocket. "Then we're going to have a problem."

Conner sighed. "I don't want to cause trouble; I just want an answer."

Dinah looked at Oliver and he looked at her and something passed between them, so that when Oliver replied, she knew it was for both of them. "We're not getting involved. Keep us out of it and we won't hurt anyone."

Conner sighed. "Fine." With that he turned and took off.

Once he was out of earshot, Dinah looked at Oliver and said. "We need to get out of here." It wasn't safe, not if both sides had found them.

"I'll make a call." Oliver said, walking toward her and leading her back inside.
