After leaving the dining room i went upstairs and got showered. When i got out of the shower i looked in the mirror, and took it all the scars. This is the first time i've properly looked at them in 5 years. Whilst looking at my reflection i couldn't help but think that after 5 years, everything that was once familiar is now unrecognizable. The face I see in the mirror is a stranger to me now. I looked at my scars for a while before getting changed into a navy blue t-shirt and ¾ grey length joggers. I brushed my long hair before settling down on the window ledge in my room to read a book. However after an hour i fell asleep only to be greeted with a nightmare/memory
I'm strapped to a chair. My feet are in shackles and so are my hands. They are draining my blood, I don't know why, but the have 4 pints so far and I'm beginning to get light headed. For the first time in weeks Drake is observing over the test and he won't shut up.
"To think that only two months ago you were happy. You had a family, friends and you had hope. Now look at you, you're nothing but a scared little girl that wants to go home. Shame really I thought it be more fun to break your hope but anyway let's get down to business. I want to know everything you Know about the Justice League and their weaknesses eventually you will tell me but for now you will just have to live with electroshock treatments". Electricity ran through my body for what felt like forever until I stuttered out through the screams
"Please S-stop". The electricity stopped and Drake said smugly
"What was that". I was looking at the floor catching my breath when he said that so I repeated myself
"Stop please Stop"
"Well I'd be damned. The Famous Black Bat is begging me to stop this". He walked over to me and lifted my head with two fingers under my chin and said
"This is your life now, love. So get over everything you are holding onto and just let go". He dropped my head and continued with the electro shock but this time I didn't fight it, I let the darkness take me and I blacked out.
Dicks P.O.V.
We let Kara calm down for a couple of hours before going to check on her. I knocked on her door with Bruce behind me, when we didn't get an answer i opened the door quietly only to see Kara asleep on the floor near the window. Her window was open and it was raining heavily, her clothes were drenched. Bruce moved past me towards Kara. Placing his hand on Karas shoulder he gently shook her to try and wake her up
"Kara? Wake up. Kara?" However this startled Kara. She woke up and flipped Bruce over, Kara then pushes her hand against his neck. I lept into to action and yelled
"Kara!" She looked up at me and then down at Bruce, she then quickly released him and moved back to the window horrified. Kara then muttered
" I'm sorry. I'm so... I'm so sorry" I helped bruce up, he then reached out and said
"It's ok, Kara. It's alright, sweetheart. You're home. You're home and you're safe" Kara just ran her hand threw her soaking wet hair.
Bruce reached out to comfort her but she flinched away and said
"Don't, i don't want to hurt you" i looked in her eyes and saw nothing but fear, her breathing was really fast and irriatic. I then said quietly to bruce
"Let me try" Bruce got up and moved away whilst i crouched in front of Kara. i then said
"Hey, look at me. Just focus on me" she looked straight at me before saying
"Dick, my head it's pounding"
"It's okay Kara, just breath" my eyes glanced over some of the scars on her legs, that's when i noticed a couple of them looked remarkably like teeth marks. She noticed i saw them and brought her legs closer to her chest. When i look up at her, her breathing had slowed and she had calmed down. I stretched out my hand and said
"You can't stay there, K. come on, please" she hesitated for a moment but then took my hand, i then pulled her into a hug ignoring the fact that her wet clothing were making my wet. as i stroked the back of her hair i said
"It's going to be okay, Kara" she started to cry as she said
"I don't know what's wrong with me"
-The Next Morning-
After Karas little breakdown last night she asked Bruce to give her a sedative to help her sleep. Reluctantly he agreed and after calming Kara down he gave her the sedative. When I woke up I went to check on her. I knocked on her door and after a second her a quiet voice
"Yeah" I opened the door and saw Kara not in her bed but she was sitting on the window ledge. She had a pair of joggers on and a oversized hoodie. I walked towards her and said
"Hey" she gave me a weak smile and replied
"Hey" I hadn't noticed before but her skin was rather pale and she had large bags under her eyes. I sighed and said
"You need to eat something"
"Not hungry"
"You said that yesterday and the day before" she didn't reply she just went back to looking out of the window.
"Look K, I know that you've been through a lot but…" she cut me off by saying
"You have no idea what I went through" she looked up at me and said
"I wanted to die, to end all the pain. To end all of it, I wanted it to go away. But they kept me alive, passing me around from Psycho to Psycho. I wanted to die, and deep down I still do…..
