(A/N: Question's name is, in fact, Victor Sage, not victor stone. Victor Stone is Cyborg from Teen Titans. Excuse my temporary brain fart. )

"It is Sebastion. I'm sure of it."

Emma sat next to Vic in the hospital bay, eyes red and filled with guilt. Her happy hopes of learning from her most admired heroes seemed to be crashing down around her. The League's conspiracy theorist was in a mysterious coma, and it was all her fault.

"This is not your doing, you know," Wonder Woman said softly, walking up behind her and placing a hand on the teen's shoulder.

"Yes, it is! No matter where I go, Sebastion will always find me. He won't stop till I…" She closed her eyes and hissed through clenched teeth.

"Until I have his child."

"Emma…"

"Diana, you just don't get it!" Emma stood suddenly and floated to the window showing the earth from a distance.

"Because of this monster, I live in constant fear." She spun around to view the Princess, eyes blazing.

"If something happens to me, and I die, you know what happens? All of my powers, all of my responsibilities would be forced on my little sister. She's just a kid, for Heaven's sake! I would rather live in fear then put Sari through this. I can't love, because if I ever tried to have anything like Question and Huntress do…"

She turned towards the window again, a tear running down her mask.

"I'd lose so much more than my little sister."

Wonder Woman watched helplessly as Emma spoke, wishing dearly to say something, anything to comfort her. She opened her mouth, but at that moment, Huntress rushed in.

"Who did this?! There will be Hell to pay when I get my hands on them!"

She ran to Vic Sage's side and took his hand.

"Helena…I'm so sorry…"

She looked up and stared at Emma long and hard.

"You're Dreamscaper, right? Q told me about you. Do you know who did this?"
Emma nodded.

"Well, then…" Huntress picked up her boyfriend's fedora from the table next to him.

"Maybe this will help you figure out why they did this," she said with a small smile. Emma brightened up instantly.

"I'd be honored to borrow it."

"Sharp Shooter, you don't understand-"

"No, Ninja Girl, YOU don't understand. If HE is there, then SHE is in danger. I don't care how many superheroes they have there, she needs me!"

Rina narrowed her eyes at her team-mate. "Does she need you or do you need her?"
"This isn't about me!"

"You've been on edge since she left! You just want an excuse to run off and be her knight in shining armor! Joseph, she isn't some damsel in distress, she can take care of herself!"

"I quite agree," a new voice stated. Joseph turned to see three people he had no inclination at all to have a discussion with at that moment.

His girlfriend.

Emma's best friend, HeroGirl.

And the superhero who just so happened to be dating Emma's cousin, Blackfold.

"Gemini would kill me if something happened to her little Birdy," Blackfold explained. "We gotta do something!"

"Oh, great idea, send the Batman fanboy to save the Batman fangirl," Rina muttered.

"That's why I'd go as well," HeroGirl explained.

"Neither one of you has powers, what good would you guys be there?"
While they argued, Joe was pulled to the side by his girlfriend.

"Go."

"What?"
"Joey, I get it. You don't see it yet, but I do."
"What do you see, V?"

She sighed, glancing towards Rina and Ed, who had just started arguing with each other as well.

"Do you see what they have?"

"No."

"Rina knows that she has feelings for Ed, but he isn't mature enough for a relationship. He loves her and doesn't understand why she doesn't return his affection."

"How do you know that? Seems to me he just annoys her."

"I just do. What they have…it will one day turn into something beautiful…when they are both ready."

She looked Joseph directly in the eyes with an intense gaze.

"You are ready. You are both ready. That's why you need to go."

"Wait, both? What are you…"

` Suddenly it dawned on him.

"Oh my God…"

He sunk to the ground in shock, hands covering his shocked face.

All this time, he never thought…but it all made sense now…

His now ex-girlfriend smiled slightly at him.

"Good luck telling Ninja Girl you're madly in love with her little sister."
