Superheroes 101: Leaving

As "Killer" ramed into her Sam squeezed her eyes shut,"This is it, I'm going to die." she thought, his knife entering her arm, the searing pain...--the gun going off, Sam opened her eyes in time to see "Killer" falling onto her, a surprised look cross his face.

"Spitfire! Samantha ! Answer me!!" Barbara commanded, her voice filled with worry

"Ohgodohgod--I killed him--ohGod theres so much blood...." Sam said, her voice hollow,"What have I done? Oh god, please make it stop!"She said frantically, tearing "Killer's" shirt off to reviel the bullet wound to the abdomen

"Sam, listen to me--where are you? are you ok?"

"Near Emmerson..I don't know....O God Oracle, I killed him--"

"Sam-It doesn't matter-- do you hear me? None of that matters- Right now I'm more concerned about you."

"Don't bother--Stay away from me--" Sam replied, turning off her comm,"I don't deserve it--Superheroes don't kill..." She glanced at her hands, now covered in Killers blood, her right hand still holding Kayla's .9mm, "Oh god, I have to get rid of this..Kayla could..could.--"

"Calm down Sam, get a grip." Helena said jumping down from the roof top, landing behind Sam, "Your starting to hyperventalate."

"Helena? what? how?I..I, I killed him." Sam stated, her face pale

"Sam it was self defence, I saw it." Helena said grabbing Sam by the shoulders, forcing Sam to face her

"You saw? You saw me about to shoot someone and you didn't try to stop me? Why the Hell didn't you?!!" Sam asked jerking away from her

"Because it was your fight, your deciion to make."

"And what? you thought, 'Oh what the hell, lets see what Sam will do?!'' Sam screamed at her, "I would have stopped you! I have! How many countless times have I stepped in as you almost crossed the line?!"

"Tough shit Sam! You needed to figure it out on your own! I'm not your babysitter! Besides, you where so busy arguing with Oracle--Hell, if you wern't listening to her, you sure as hell wasn't going to listen to me!" Helena shouted,"No one made you pull that trigger! You made that choice on your own!"

Sam's face turned ashen,"Your right..."she took off running, never once looking back

Helena watched her leave, wanting to follow her, but knowing it would just make things worse. Turning around to face the still form of Killer--"what the hell? where is he?!" she thought, glancing around--he was gone, vanashed--"Huntress to Oracle....we have a problem...."

Sam didn't know where she was headed--she didn't care, as long as she could get away from there- Helena was right, no one made her steal the gun, no one made her pull the trigger, and for all of her anger, someone was now dead, by her hand. She stumbled, exausted, at the foot of her parents graves...

"What do you mean he's not there?" Barbara asked, typing away on delphi,"And wheres Sam? Is she ok?"

"Sam took off--she's well...she's not in that great of shape--as for our murded guy, well, aparently he's not dead." Helena replied, climbing back up onto the roof.

"Keep searching for him, I'll contact Kayla, see if shes heard from Sam."

"Alright."

Sam reached her hand out, with her index finger she slowly traced first her fathers, then her mothers names, Her eyes welling up with tears, "Oh mom, dad....I've failed you--I've failed everyone..." She sobbed, gathering her knees up under her chin she rocked back an forth, letting her cascade of tears flow freely

Kayla walked softly in to the cemetary, some how knowing this is where Sam would be, and not surprised when she saw the scene before her, walking quietly up to her, she placed a hand on the young woman's shoulder "Sammie..."

Sam glanced up, her eyes red and swollen" Go away Kayla--I don't feel like talking."

Kayla nodded, then slowly sat down beside Sam, "You don't have to Sammie, but I'm not going away. I'm staying right here...."

Thats it..the whole story--I 'm leaving,I'm not telling anyone where I am going, hell I don't even know yet--Childish, yes, I know. but I crossed the line, and when I did, I didn't feel remorse, It felt right, it felt good. And for that reason alone am I leaving. Who knows if I'll ever return to New Gotham--But heres one thing I know for sure--I'm finished being a superhero.
