Chapter Five
Both Lightning Lad and Sun Boy turned around to see Cosmic Boy standing in the middle of the room with his "leader" face on, looking very annoyed.
"Oh, hey there Cos, how was patrol?" Lightening Lad said, walking towards Comic Boy trying to hide his annoyance.
"Save it Lightning Lad, we need to talk" Cosmic Boy narrowed his eyes, "alone"
"Sure, see you later Sun Boy" Lightning Lad waved to his friend as he followed Cosmic Boy out of the main room.
As soon the boys were out of hearing range, Cosmic Boy turned to glare at in annoyance Lightning Lad but Lightning Lad was the first to speak.
"What the hell Cos? Since when do you take others patrols and leave them to suffer on monitor duty?"
"Since you stopped respecting your commitments you made to the Legion?" Cosmic Boy retorted with rage
"You were gone for hours last night! You can't just leave giving no information on where you're going or when you'll be back! What if we needed you? Not to mention you turned your communicator off!" Lightning Lad was getting really mad now. Cos knew he was at the hospital and what if he took awhile to come home, he decided to walk.
"I turned off my communicator so I could have some peace and quiet! Plus you knew where I was! So I'm sorry if I need clear my head!" Lightning lad yelled in rage. Cos was unshaken and continued his accusations.
"Well what about this morning? What is your excuse for that?"
"Simple, I was getting breakfast. Star Boy would have waited for me!" Lightning Lad replied with a smug look on his face and crossed his arms. This just made Cosmic Boy grit his teeth and continue the quarrel.
"It doesn't matter if Star Boy would have waited or not. The problem is you were disregarding your duties as a legionnaire!" Lightning Lad felt his rage rising higher and higher with every word that came out of Cosmic Boy's mouth. Both boys knew that this argument was going to get ugly soon yet continued anyways.
Lightning Lad was the first to speak.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" He yelled; his fist flew and soon made contact with Cosmic Boys jaw. Cosmic Boy stumbled back with eyes widened in surprise and ribbed his jaw. Lightning Lad backed away, eyes wide with horror at what had just happened and before Cosmic Boy could say anything, Lightning Lad ran from the room leaving Cosmic Boy dazed and confused.
When Lightning Lad flew out of Legion Headquarters, he knew that there was only one person he could talk to; so he flew as fast as he could to the hospital.
Lightning Lad was still shaken when he landed at the front doors of the New Metropolis General Hospital. 'What have I done' was the question that haunted his mind as he walked through the hospital to Saturn Girl's room.
When he came to the room, Lightning Lad was comforted to find the room empty and silent save the rhythmic beeping of Saturn Girl's heart monitor. Lightning Lad entered the room and sat down at the chair which was still pulled up beside her bed.
Just like yesterday, she was still; frozen in time almost. It was sad to see Saturn Girl like this external wounds looked like they were healing nicely, but he would have to ask Brainy to be sure; yet he knew internally she was still weak. A few days ago she was as strong as ever and full of life; it killed him to see her so weak with the I.V. hooked up to her arm.
The silence was starting to get to Lightning Lad so he spoke.
"Hey Imra; listen, I need to tell you something, I punched Cos." he stopped, almost waiting for her to scold him for not controlling his temper; but the only answer he got was the silence, so he continued.
"I know it was a bad move but I just couldn't controls myself. He was making me so mad!" he gritted his teeth at the memory, trying to keep himself from blowing his temper. Again.
"He was lecturing me on how I have been neglecting duties recently which is bullshit! He's the one who went on MY patrol left me with monitor duty. Also, he was scolding me like a child who blew off their curfew because I came back late last night. He is NOT my parent! I just got so mad that I couldn't stop myself from hitting him! I know you HATE it when we fight, but he was asking for it this time." Lightning Lad got up to walk around the room to try to calm himself down.
"But just makes me so flippen mad sometimes! I mean, he thinks he's the shit and can go around giving orders like he owns the place! But he's NOT! That's what he needs to get through his thick skull! The THREE of us started the Legion and the sooner he realizes this, the better." He stopped walking when he came to the window.
The sun was shining in the clear, cloudless blue sky like nothing was wrong. People filled the streets of New Metropolis and the park in the distance was filled with children playing. Lightning Lad sighed before turning back to walk over to Saturn Girl.
"We really miss you Imra," he paused again looking around the room as if his next words were written somewhere, "I miss you." Lightning Lad closed his eyes taking in what he had just said.
"HQ just isn't the same without you. We are all really worried about you so get better soon ok?" No reply. Lightning Lad sighed in sad frustration.
"But she didn't even hear me." He muttered to himself before turning back to face the window.
That's when he missed a twitch of a single dainty finger that would tell him otherwise.
