Chpt.12

"YOU HAVE A SISTER!" Theresa exclaimed.

"You sound surprised," Waller stated calmly.

"You are the most detached person ever! I would have never thought of you having a sister when growing up," Theresa explained.

"You still have much to learn if you want to be anything like your father," Waller sighed, and I was still majorly confused. I was trying to make sense of all of the new information in my mind.

Theresa and Jhonny are brother and sister, their mother is Wonder Woman, their father is Batman, Jhonny's real name is Apollo, and apparently Amanda Waller has a sister who's in charge of a new Cadmus.

"Do you have any idea where your sister is?" Jhonny (or should I say Apollo?) growled.

"No. I haven't seen my little sister in years. She was a trouble maker that one. She would drive mother crazy with her antics," Waller chuckled lightly.

"Listen, Waller," Theresa growled, cutting through Waller's thick gaze which I was guessing was from her taking a trip to past memories. "We don't need to know what happened in the past. We need to know what's happening now. What information do you have on your sister?" Theresa hissed.

Waller chuckled, "She's my family. We don't rat out each other. I owe her that," she stated.

Theresa raised her fist.

"Your sister possibly took my Mom and Dad! That is my family and I went them back!" I quickly grabbed her fist. Of course it wouldn't budge.

"Settle down," I said softly.

"What? You don't care about your parents that you're just gonna take the info she gave us and go?" she barked at me. I fliched slightly at the statement, and Jess could sense that.

"Don't talk like that," he said softly to Theresa, trying to calm the waters.

"And what about your father?" Jhonny growled at Jess.

" Everyone stop!" I exclaimed. "Fighting does not help solve anything" I then turned my attention to Waller. She was getting old, and I could tell that, like most old people, she loved to talk. Her brief trip through memory lane confirmed that. "What was your sister like?" I questioned.

"This is a waste of time," Theresa scowled.

"Let the woman talk," I glared, and returned my attention to waller.

"She was smart when we were kids. She would come up with all these elborate plans to get things that she wanted and not get caught. I was always used as a scapegoat, too, but I never ratted her out. She was smart, I was vulnerable. Her using me to achieve her goals was something I had to respect. She taught me a lot. Usually it's the other way around. The older sister is suppose to teach the younger sister." She let out a sigh. "Unfortuantly when it came to getting everything she wanted, sometimes the things she wanted weren't the best. She became addicted to drugs, and along with that she became an alcoholic. She couldn't get a job and became homeless. I tried to help, but she wouldn't let me. She's better now. That's at least a good thing." she sighed.

"It's good that she overcame the drugs and alcohol," I stated. I could see something behind her eyes, but she nodded her head.

"Yes. It's a good thing."

"Thank you, Ms. Waller," I smiled politely, then turned to leave. Jess, Jhonny, and Theresa followed me out the door.

"Well, that was pointless," sighed Theresa.

"No. No it wasn't." I shook my head.

"What useful thing did we learn then?" Jhonny inquired sarcastically.

"Her sister is very smart, meaning that she is good at covering her tacks. She will clearly use any means possible to get her way. She was in this area awhile back and chances are, have moved out. She is also addicted to drugs and alcohol," I explained.

"How does that help us?" questioned Jhonny.

"And I thought Waller said that her sister was done with her addictions."

"No. Her sister is not at all. Still at it, just able to hold a job," I explained.

"So where to now?" Theresa questioned with a scowl.

"We need to find a computer with a wide access base. Once there, we try to find where she left to by hacking into airport files."

"We have a computer like that., Jhonny stated.

"But…" Theresa started, but Jhonny cut her off.

"If you want to save mom and dad, we listen," he growled at her and she backed down.

"Eclipse," Jess stated with a confused look on his face. "Waller didn't say her sister's name, how do we track her without her name?" he questioned and I smiled,

"As Waller said, her sister always used her as a scapegoat."
