Fifteen
I felt a stinging pain and sent the person over me flying back, I rolled over, all I felt was pain, "Fuck."
"Libby!" I heard Clark say. I looked up with a groan as the memories began to fill my head, he helped me up and I held my head. "Are you okay?" I squeezed my eyes shut as I tried to quiet my head down. Apparently living your worse fear over and over did nothing good. "Libby." I looked at Clark and saw fear in his eyes. He pulled me into his arms and kissed my head, "I'm here."
"You're here," I mumbled. "I'm safe."
"You are," he said. I looked around to see two other mes and they faded disappearing from my sight. "They had to move you from the cave."
I nodded, "you're welcome bitch," I heard someone say. I turned around to see Kelly getting off the floor, then I realised I flung someone away from me.
"Shit sorry," I said wincing. I walked over and pulled her into a tight hug, "thank you." A blue light appeared above us and I stared at her in surprise, she didn't let go of me. "You unbound your powers. You have magic." The blue light disappeared and she let go of me and nodded, "you didn't have to."
"I did, we got an insight to the future and everyone is dead," she said. "Plus a little help from our guardian angel helped make my choice." I looked at her confused and she pointed at Liam, "he's a whitelighter."
"Wow you strayed that far off the path they sent a whitelighter?" I was surprised, they were very unheard of.
"He's here for you too," Kelly said. I groaned, and she laughed, "yeah not just me now is it." She elbowed me and I shook my head. "Why on earth did you step into a field that you knew would keep you in it?!"
"Because Clark was in it!" I snapped back. "He was living his worse fear! The world needed Superman they didn't need me, just a witch. I couldn't let him suffer."
"You were living your worse fear Libby," Clark snapped. "I know exactly what that is! You shouldn't have done it!" I could feel myself getting angrier, it didn't help that the first thing on my mind was that. I may have only been in there a mere few hours but it replayed thousands of times my head felt like it was going to explode. "You tried so hard to push it back and you brought it to the front of your mind."
"ENOUGH!" I yelled throwing my hands up, as I did fire appeared from them and my eyes widened. "Oh my god. My hands are shooting fire? I can hold fire? Oh my god, my powers don't relate to fire!"
"They do now," Liam said. "As you evolve and grow your powers will to, this power is just like your others, you need to control your emotions."
"Your powers are tied to your emotions," mum said.
"How did you used to control them when you first got them?" Clark asked curiously.
"I drew," I whispered. "I drew you, well fragments of you." He nodded, he came over and I looked in his eyes. I concentrated on that and all my feelings for him rushed to the forefront of my head, I looked at my hands and the fire finally stopped. I placed my head on his shoulder "I love you."
"I love you too," he said softly. He stroked my hair and I closed my eyes trying to calm my head, "we don't have the time to do what we did last time."
"I know," I said. I opened my eyes and I saw that Barry, Caitlin and Cisco was here, I waved to them. "We need to destroy it."
"Well we can't touch it," Clark said.
"Back away," I ordered. "Everyone." They all did as I said and Kelly came and stood next to me and grabbed my hand, "what are you thinking?"
"You throw your fire at it and then I bring in an element or two," she said.
"I forget you have that power," I admitted. "A tornado?"
She looked at me flatly, "a little eccentric?" She sighed. "I was thinking more lightning bolt?"
"I could have just done that," Barry said pointedly.
"You aren't the ultimate power," I said turning around to face him. "You can't touch this." I couldn't help but grin as the song popped into my head at the same time.
"Not now," Clark said flatly. I smiled sheepishly, I loved the fact he knew what I was thinking before I said it, either that or I was very predictable. "Right do we need to take cover?"
I looked at him flatly, "you're literally invincible."
"I have faith in your abilities," Clark shrugged. "Kelly's? Not so much, you didn't stop being a witch she hasn't had her powers for a long time." I nodded he had a point, I shooed them back a little.
"You can do this," Liam said to Kelly. I looked at him, "no point me moving back, I'm already dead."
I nodded, I let out a breath and nodded at Kelly, I looked at my hand and imagined fire a second later it was on fire, I pointed it at the field and it hit it immediately. "Now," I mumbled. She nodded and I saw her put her hands together and slowly saw lightening in between them, I smiled. Knowing her powers I knew why we were the ultimate power. The power field was still on fire and it hadn't wavered. Kelly threw the lightening strike at it, I flinched as I felt it hit the fire immediately, I stopped the fire and waited as both of the elements worked together. I looked at my hand and saw a black mark on it, I guess although fire didn't hurt using it too long wasn't good.
The field grew a bigger and I pushed Kelly out the way as I saw it coming towards us, as it hit me I felt myself flying across the room as a loud bang echoed around the room. I hit the floor with a smack and groaned, I rolled over and looked to see it had gone completely. "Why do I always get pushed?" I heard Kelly groan.
I glared at my sister as I stood up, "would you prefer to be thrown across the room?" I asked as I felt pain down my back. I walked over to Clark and he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head.
I grabbed his hand and thought of the fortress and we were orbing, "that feels weird," he muttered. "Next time I'll just fly."
"You get used to it," I told him with a shrug. I sat down and pulled the blanket close to me, Clark really should clean up when he was here. I ran a hand through my hair, "I" Clark came over and pulled me into a tight hug. "It was horrible." I shook my head I could feel myself about to cry and that was the last thing I wanted. "It just kept going and I couldn't stop him." I broke down crying and I held onto him tightly. "I couldn't."
"I know," he whispered. "I'm so sorry Libby. I wish I could have gotten their in time, I'm sorry."
"It was worse in there Clark because you never came," I sobbed. I didn't want to let go of him, "I thought that I had pushed it back."
"Libby," he sighed. "You went into a magical field that brings your worst fear to life. It's hard to overcome your fears, and you never dealt with it when it first happened."
"They would have killed me," I whispered. I shook my head, "I was so stupid."
"No, you were young," he said. "You didn't know. Why didn't you tell your mom?"
"I dealt with it?" I offered. "I never knew how, I guess I had to forgive myself and I never have." I looked around the fortress this is where I was after it happened Clark staying as Superman had taken care of me for a few days. "I remember when you brought me here, it was the most magical thing I had seen. You never told me why you brought me here? I mean anyone else you took to the hospital."
"You reminded me of Kara," he admitted. "When I found her she was scared and confused and I took her to live with the Danvers, just something about you, I felt the need to protect."
"And you were there," I said with a little smile. "With every fall, trip, injury, you came. Until you didn't. Did I ever thank you?" He nodded. "Well thank you. I think I would have been dead by now with what happened."
"Will you talk to your mom?" He asked. I bit my lip and shook my head, "you can do it, I'll be there. You need to tell them Libby. If you are fighting a demon or The Black Witch and you freeze because of this you'll put everyone in danger."
"Alright," I agreed. I let go of him and sniffled, "I have to do this alone. I'll see you back at the DEO?"
He nodded, I thought of my mom and orbed out, "where did you go?" Mom asked in a huff as I appeared in front of her. "Where's Clark?"
"He's coming," I said shrugging. "Not a fan of the orbing" I chuckled. I looked at her, "we need to talk." My gaze went to Kelly and I bit my lip. "All of us."
"Including me?" Dad asked curiously.
"Will you be using magic?" I asked shaking my head knowing the answer is no.
"Nope, go on crazy kids share your secrets," he chuckled. "All I can do is orb, which speaking of I'll be at home."
I walked forward and saw Kara, "thank you," I said. I walked into a room and shut the door, I sat down and looked at them both. "I want you to remember I was young and stupid." Mom sighed rubbing her temples. "I was 16 and in with that bad crowd." Mom frowned instantly, "I was doing some weed you know nothing bad and then I met" I swallowed, "someone and he was older and from that moment he had me wrapped around his little finger."
"Paul?"
I nodded, "erm, at first it was fun he'd buy me things and spoil me, but then I should have known. I shouldn't let it happen but I did. He started giving me harder stuff I didn't want to but he threatened to leave me, so I did." I stood up and walked over to the window I didn't want to look at my mom or sister. "It was coke and some other stuff, those 5 days I went missing, I wasn't on a drug bender like I said, I couldn't tell you what happened." I shook my head. "It was a party he made me dress in some sexy underwear and he had a load of friends around, he pushed more coke down and he hit me with heroin." I could hear the gasp. "I managed to run, well sort of. I fell from a 2nd story window trying to escape but by the time I got up they caught me and" my voice cracked and I blinked away "they hit me over and over and he eventually took my virginity all of them. You always wondered how I knew Clark? Two hours later after at least 8 men had me in the alley, he saw me being attacked by two more and that's when he saved me."
"Liberty," mom said.
"Clark took me back to the fortress and I stayed there for 5 days healing and trying to deal with it." I ran a hand through my hair, "when he brought me home and I was going to tell you but the look in your eyes. I couldn't. So I lied and said I had been on a drug bender instead."
"Liberty," I felt arms wrap around me and mom was holding onto me tightly. "My baby."
"Why tell us now?" Kelly asked curiously.
"Kelly," mom snapped.
"It's fine mom," I whispered. "That stupid magical field makes you live your greatest fear and that was mine, so I lived that memory over and over and in it Clark never came. He said I had to tell you in case I freeze. It took a long time to get over it, every night Superman would be at my window and when I turned 17 I asked why he came and he then flew me back to the fortress and he then told me his real identity Kal-El as well as he was Clark his secret identity. Since then well you know that part."
"I'm so sorry baby. I should have known. I'm your mother and I should have known."
