"Hey guys, can I talk to you?" Megan whispered through their minds.
"Yeah Miss M." Robin replied. "What's up?"
"This better be good." Artemis growled.
"What is the problem?" Kladur asked.
"And can't it wait till morning?" Whined Wally.
"Yeah." Superboy growled.
"Well I was just wondering… which one of you has those emotions?" She whispered worriedly.
"What emotions?" Robin asked.
"Well I sense someone, I don't know who, but they're sand, worried, happy and angry all at once. It's giving me a headache." She confessed.
"Well it's not me." Wally spoke.
"Or me." Artemis mumbled, sleep already consuming her once again.
"I do not believe it is I." Kaldur replied.
"Not me either." Robin thought to them.
"What about Supey?" Wally asked.
"No." The clone responded.
"It it's not any of you then who?" Asked the Martian.
The answer came to Robin first. "It's her."
"Her?" Wally asked.
"Wake up, Kid Idiot." Artemis snapped. "He means the girl who murdered Red Arrow."
"Oh." Was his only response.
"She didn't kill Red Arrow." Robin defended. "He's still out there somewhere, we just have to find out where."
"Wake up and smell the roses Robin, he isn't coming back." Artemis snapped.
"Not to prove Artemis right but it's unlikely that he'll actually come back, this is the League of Assassins we're talking about." Wally explained.
"I don't believe that." Robin replied calmly.
Artemis sighed. "Fine, considering I won't be going to sleep any time soon let's figure this out once and for all. She's asleep, that gives Megan a better chance of probing her mind."
"But I promised Uncle J'onn I wouldn't." Megan spoke, worry in her voice.
"I do not think it's a smart idea." Kaldur put in.
"What if you don't go into her mind?" Artemis asked. What if you send someone else?"
"Like who?" M'gann asked.
"Me, I'll go." Robin stated.
"No way, if you go I go." Wally responded.
"Fine, send them both in." Artemis ordered.
"I need to be closer to her." Megan explained.
"I'm still not sure about this." Kaldur sighed. "But you'll probably do it anyways."
Robin snickered. "Got that right."
"So… what are we doing again?" Wally asked as they walked aimlessly though a hallway.
"We're looking for clues." Robin responded.
"And it had to be you because…" He trailed off.
"Because she knows my identity and I can't risk anyone else finding out." He replied.
"Oh."
"Yeah, KF. I know you want to ask so go ahead." Robin chuckled.
"Okay, who is she?" Wally asked.
"She's an old friend, a very old friend." He replied. "She was like a sister to me."
Wally had no time to reply as they found themselves in a kitchen area with a girl around Wally's age, she was wearing a pair of purple skinny jeans and same color t-shirt, over the shirt she wore a black lace up vest. On her feet were a pair of black high-top, knee-high sneakers with four straps along the back. Her blonde hair fell loosely onto her back as she chopped some vegetables.
Wally watched the girl carefully as Robin stepped into the room. "Who is she?"
Robin didn't face him. "She's the one we're looking for."
Wally's eyes widened. "Her? She looks so… nice." He noted that the girl was humming "The Lonely" under her breath.
"Well this is her." Robin replied, looking around. "I've never seen this place before."
As Aria kept chopping vegetables both boys stood doing nothing, until a noise came from the basement.
The girl looked up in surprise, placing the knife down and walking over to the hallway carefully. "Dad?"
Both boys followed her as she approached a set of stairs that lead down. Once they were inside the dimly lit room they all gasped at what they saw. "Dad?" She screamed. "What are you doing?"
The girl rushed into the room to see a woman tied up on a chair, she was clearly terrified. Beside her stood a man with blonde hair, a scowl plastered on his face. "Just taking care of some loose ends, honey. I'll be right up."
"Please, Ben. Don't do this." The woman begged.
Robin recognized her. "Naida…"
"Dad, you promised." Aria whispered. "No more killing."
"She knows too much honey, it has to be done." He responded calmly. "Just go back upstairs."
"No, please I won't tell anyone." Naida sobbed.
"Go back upstairs, Aria." Her father ordered.
Reluctantly the blonde girl turned, walking out on the desperate woman.
"Is she really going to let him do this?" Wally exclaimed.
"I don't know." Robin whispered, following the girl again.
Upstairs Aria paced the kitchen, both hands clutched in tight fists. "Come on, Aria. Don't be stupid, this has to happen. If it doesn't they'll catch you and they'll send him away, it's for the best."
Wally and Robin stood to the side, watching the girl. "What is she doing?"
Robin didn't bother to answer as the girl walked over to a bag standing on the table. He didn't see as she pulled something out of the bag and placed it in her pocket. "I'm sorry." She whispered, walking out of the kitchen and making her was to the basement once again.
She quietly entered the room quietly, seeing that her father was interrogating the young woman. "What do you know?"
She looked at the blade in his hand. "I don't know anything, I swear." She sobbed.
"Stop lying and tell me." He demanded.
"I'm not, all I know is that I'm not the first." She spilled. "You've killed before, that much I know."
He smirked. "You see, you do know. Now all I have to do is finish this."
"Dad." Aria pleaded, making him face her. "Please don't do it, we can start over; away from here, where no one can find us."
"That's exactly why I'm doing this." He replied turning back to the woman. "She's standing in the way of our chance to be happy."
Aria stepped forward, tears trailing down her face. "If you do this then we'll just have to run again, I don't want that. I don't want to lose you, per favore, don't make me have to lose you."
He stroked her cheek. "You won't lose me, I promise. This changes nothing." He wrapped his arms around her as she let the tears fall.
"You're wrong." She whispered, taking out a switchblade from her pocket. "This changes everything." Before her father could comprehend what was happening, Aria thrust the blade into his stomach, making him fall back in shock.
"Aria?" He whispered as he clutched his stomach.
"I'm sorry, papa. I can't let you keep hurting people." She whispered before walking over to Naida.
The woman looked at the man on the floor in shock. "Why did you do that?"
Aria used the bloody blade to cut the binds off the woman. "It was either your of him, be thankful I chose you."
Naida stood up as the last of her bonds were cut loose. "What now?"
Aria grabbed the woman's hand, leading her out to the main door. She turned the woman so they faced each-other. "Naida, listen to me. I want you to run and never come back. Don't tell anyone about this either because when you do, I'll kill you." She threatened.
Naida's eyes widened but she nodded. "Thank you, Aria."
Aria wiped away any remaining tears. "I just did what should have done long ago, you don't have to thank me."
The girl stood outside of the small house as she watched is silently, her eyes glowing in sadness. "It looks like you taught me well, papa." She spoke to herself. "I'm sorry, but mama taught me better."
As she spoke she help a small lighter in her hand; lighting it slowly she dropped it on the floor, the trail or gasoline that lead to the house quickly set on fire.
Without looking back at the house the girl turned, saying her final goodbyes to her old life. "I won't forget you." She whispered. "You are still my father and I still love you, even after all the pain you've caused me."
So I'm hoping that after the next chapter we can finally get some action, what do you think? XD
