Chapter three:Followed
Sunrise woke up to her alarm clock. She pressed the button on the top, knocking down her water bottle. UGH! She was sore from flying against the wind, and though her wings weren't out, she could still feel the soreness.I wish I could skip work today. She groaned and got out of bed. She got dressed and ate breakfast, then grabbed her back pack with her lunch and supplies. She went out the door. As soon as she reached the hallway, she had the strangest feeling. The feeling of being watched. She looked around suspiciously. Nothing. Hmm. Sunrise mentally turned into a spider for the sixth sense. There was something there. She knew it. Some one was in the shadows, watching, listening. She kept moving like she knew nothing but the paranoia just followed. As she walked into the copy print shop, she started seeing things. Was that camera there before? What about that table. And she had never seen that co worker... or costomer before.
"Stop." She told herself.
Sunrise? Are you okay?" Her friend Louisa Asked.
"No." Sunrise answered too quickly. She immediately replaced it with, "I'm fine."
"Hmm."
By noon, The paranoia still hadn't left. Every so often, she would check her sixth sense. Still, some thing was there. It was on her lunch break when she saw the person who was watching. The black car had driven by three times during the break, every five minutes. As soon as the car went out of view again, Sunrise went behind the building and flew to the roof. Now she would follow the car.She flew from building to building, getting higher and higher, but keeping the car in view. The car pulled over by the shop on the next round. A boy about her age got out. He was handed a flier, and he walked into the store. Being sure to stay out of the car's view, Sunrise flew off the roof, and waited out side the back door, witch led to the alley. She was sure the boy would come out the back, in search for her. She waited by the side of the door, ready to attack. Sure enough, the boy came out. she tackled and put him in a headlock. The boy fought back, kicking her in the shin, elbowing her, and last banging his head back wards and making her let go. She felt blood spill out her nose. Her eyes widened, as she tried to stop the blood. The boy let his guard down.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I mean- I don't usually... hit...girls."
"Who are you?"
"I-I'm... Uhhh."
That's when Redfeather noticed it. She smiled.
"Dick Grayson."
"What? How did you-"
He was cut off by Bat man. Who came down from the roof.
"Don't think that we don't know who you are. Sunrise."
"Why are you here?"
"We'd like to recruit you. Are you in for a team?"
"Sorry bats, but I don't do the whole team thing. You know that. you also know the exact reason I ran away, so why did you even bother?"
"Because we need you."
"Nice try, but I'm not in."
"Didn't you just hear me? We needyou."
"No you don't, you're just saying that. to make me believe you." Red feather raised her voice.
"Listen. We've been-"
"Batman." Dick interrupted.
The hero looked down at his sidekick. Dick just nodded and batman took a tool out of his utility belt. One motion and he went flying to the roof. Dick just looked at his feet. Redfeather was about to leave, but Dick just kept standing there.
"Why did you do that?"
"Do what?" Dick asked innocently.
"Send batman away."
"Oh no reason, maybe because he was pressing a little too hard, and it can be a little easier talking to some one your age."
Redfeather just looked at him like he was strange, then changed her mood.
"You are right. Adults are creepy."
"Well there are a bunch in the Justice league, so I understand if you don't want to come. We'll be in touch." Robin pulled out a grappling hook and got up to the roof. He was ready to leave.
"Dick Wait..." Redfeather said, as she flew onto the roof. "I'm coming, But the team won't like my attitude."
"It's okay. If they won't talk to you, I still will.I'm glad you came to your senses."
Redfeather followed Dick, thinking that he was more friendly than any of the super heroes she had ever had to work with. She smiled to herself. Maybe she would enjoy a team.
