Hey! Last chapter, hope you enjoy it.
It had been three days since I woke up in hospital, I had been going to phyo everyday but I never felt like it was working, I knew it takes time but I was beating myself up about it, I wanted to do more than sit up and down everytime I went there. We were all sitting in the cave, everyone was pretty much back to normal except for me and Dick but that didn't matter then, Batman was briefing us, we needed to be focused.
"The League has been taking shifts at Arkham to make sure the Joker doesn't escape." Batman said to us, no nonsense "Red Tornado and Black Canary are on shifts right now, Superman and I will be there tonight" Everyone stayed quiet, you could feel the annoyance flowing through the room. We wanted to do something but we couldn't, it was tearing us apart. "You will resume your training once you've helped" Even though you couldn't see his eyes through the mask I noticed them soften, Bruce knew what was happening and he understood "When you feel you are ready come talk to me" We all nodded slightly,
"You need to stop beating yourself up about this" Superman said "None of this was your fault, sometimes there's just nothing you can do. Don't think that none of us has even come close to death with the Injustice League. Yes, your powerful but everyone has their limits" Silence lingerd after Superman and Batman left. Kaldur spoke,
"There right, everyone has their limits, we can't expect to win everytime"
"Yeah, I mean sitting here and sulking about it just makes the Joker win more" Dick agreed
"Do you not just realize what we've been through!" Zee exclaimed "That clown had us on the edge of death and you expect us to just get over that!" It was more of a statement than a question.
"No" Kaldur replied "we need to learn from it"
"He made us weak!" Conner yelled angrily "How do you learn from being weak?"
"When we know what our weakness are we can become stronger" Kaldur protested
"I need to shoot something" Artemis said, standing up and walking away.
"I gotta run some laps" Wally said following Artemis. Connor gave Kaldur a long, hard glare and stood up and stomped out, Zee followed.
"That went well" Dick said,
¨M´gann, what do you think?" Kaldur asked her, she-like me, had decided to stay quite.
¨I don't know" she sighed ¨I agree with you guys but it's just hard"
¨I know, that's why we need to stay on the same page" Kaldur replied
¨I'll see if I can talk to Conner" she said walking out, silence dragged out in front of us. Through all of this I had been staring at my hands in my lap, I didn't want to argue, the surgery, coma and the constant working to walk again, it was draining.
¨Jamie?" Dick said softly to me
¨What am I doing here Rob?"
¨Your helping us"
¨By doing what?" I replied, looking up at him ¨sitting here, listening to you guys wine and arge. If I could I´d be training and rallying the team but I can't¨
¨Jamie, it wasn't your fault" Kaldur tired to reassure me
¨I know!" I replied in an outburst, I wheeled away down the corridor and on to my thinking spot. The cool breeze hit my face as I looked out off the cliff, I sat there for a long time, thinking.
¨Jamie¨ I herd Dick say from behind me, I turned my head around and saw him and Zee,
¨What?"
¨Look Jamie, whether you can fight or not we need you." Zee said bluntly, that's what I loved about Zee, she was blunt. I sighed and turned the wheelchair around, following them back inside. Everyone was already waiting,
¨ok guys, I thinks we should start training again" Dick said
¨How do you suppose we do that?¨ Artemis asked ¨I dont think fighting in casts is such a good idea"
¨I meant everyone except us three, since we're not physically ready yet"
Everyone exchanged glances for a moment and then Kaldur spoke,
¨I think it's a good idea, we need to be ready for our next mission¨
¨I agree¨ M´gann said. Everyone looked over a Connor, waiting. He grunted and left the room.
¨He´ll come around, he just needs time¨ M´gann said.
¨I know!¨ I said ¨How about you guys train. Artemis can shoot and Rob and I will give pointers to you guys since Black Canary is still at arkham¨
¨Great!¨ Wally said and faced Kaldur, fists raised.
I sighed, a happy sigh. Everything was just right,
Friends: All pretty much better
Connor: Sulking but will come around
Everyone: Definitely shaken but not worried
Me: Happy, everything was perfect.
