Chapter 4
We talked until dark and I'm on my3rd cup of hot chocolate when Black Canary walks up to our table and tells me its time to go. "why can't she come back to my place? I have an extra room. She should be back with her family" Cam questions Canary harshly.
"Would it be so bad Dinah?" I ask her, my head down looking at my drink.
"I don't think tonight would be the best to start. But you will be able to go back I promise" she says putting a hand on my shoulder giving my brother and reassuring smile. "Alright, I'll see you soon Cam" I get up and hug him and I give him my cellphone number. I got a new one from the league, same with my clothing. Canary and I leave, we walk a few blocks and then turn into an ally and walked into an abandoned shed and then zeta-tubed up to the watchtower.
After I've eaten my dinner from the cafeteria of the watchtower, I fly to my room passing league members saying hello and goodbyes even if I know them or not. I've become one of them to a degree. Kind of like a sidekick.
I walk through my door and sit at my desk flipping over the options of my window with a little remote I found in my desk a little while back. I choose a field with flowers and animals running around. I turn back around and look at my homework. At first I was happy about being homeschooled but as it continued I started to remember why I didn't like it…. long days and homework. I start to work on the assignment I was given but one sentence in I zoned out and remembered my conversation with Cameron.
-Flashback-
"Oh man, so where are you staying?" Cam asks bobbing his teabag in the hot water
"Um… well with the people who found me…" I say awkwardly not saying anything but just enough for him to get it.
"Wait you mean to say with the Justice League" he whispers leaning forward
"Mhmm…" I mumble looking out the window. "just don't say anything to anyone" I stare at him hoping for reassurance.
"I swear I won't say a word, no matter what" he said lifting his hand up in the air and the other hand on his heart. "So do you have like… any powers?" he whispered the last two words.
"Yeah… now don't get all crazy, I'll tell you everything I know okay" I tell him looking straight into his eyes reaching for his hand, we talked in hushed tones. I told him everything from the crash until I arrived to the café, leaving out everything about the league, the watchtower and the covert team at Mount. Justice. I told him about my powers the flight, force field, fire blasts, density shifting, invisibility, possession of humanoids and the newly found one, the ability to adapt to my surrounding, weather it be gravity or the need for air… I went into space a few time to train. Cam was speechless…who wouldn't be.
I sigh and drink my hot chocolate. "How's Lucy" I ask
"Oh she's great, she lives with me" he say's shifting in his seat a bit
"Huh, why not mom and dad?" I ask noticing him becoming uncomfortable.
"Ah well, about them…" he pauses, which makes me uncomfortable. "They passed away the night after the accident" he looks down at his tea and then back up to me on the verge of tears. "Oh" is all I can muster.
"Here why don't I tell you about the shows I'm watching" he's changes the subject quickly
"Yes please" that was the last we talked about our parents.

I curl into my bed and cry, then I fall asleep.
