Hey people! Here's chapter 3! It's a little shorter than most, but the next one should be longer! Oh! One more thing, if anyone has any suggestions feel free to tell me!

~~Superboy's POV~~

She looked so broken. Her eyes were squeezed shut, face paler than normal and covered in tears, it looked like she was curling into herself. Then I realized what she said.
"Desmond was her father." I whispered angrily. Standing, with Sable cradled in my arms, I practically flew to the room, laying her down on the bed. The light green towel seemed out of place in this picture, her curling up on the bed, clinging to the black sheets. I brushed some hair out of her face, "I will be back. I need to deal with that sick bastard."
She whimpered softly, but I couldn't stay. I had business to take care of.

Batman looked at me, "You can't do that Superboy. You cannot terminate for selfish reasons. I know he kept you locked up, but-"
I growled and yelled, "This isn't about me! I can't terminate because of selfish reasons? You wouldn't say that if you knew what he did to his own daughter!"
Batman looked at me, "His daughter?"
I nodded, still angry, but I had to do this, for Sable, "He has a daughter, a fifteen year old shape shifter. And he did unforgivable things to her, just to test how strong she was!"
His eyes, well, what I could see of them, widened, "Sable?"
I nodded, crossing my arms, "Yes. Sable. He did terrible things. She's curled up on the bed right now crying, she's terrified! I want him dead! Either you do it, or I will!" Turning, I stepped towards the door that leads to the training room, "But right now, I've got more important things to deal with." The screen Batman was on flickered away and I growled, 'I hope she'll be alright.'
'I'm fine Superboy, just not used to having those memories...I knew bad things happened, but I didn't think they were like that...then I started talking and...' Sable whispered telepathically. She sounded weak.
I started running, 'It's alright, I'm here. I'll keep you safe now.'
Opening the door to my room, I quietly walked over to the bed, "Sable?"
She opened one of her eyes, the green towel still wrapped around her, "Superboy. I'm sorry."
I looked at her, "For what?"
She looked away, she always does that when she's scared or ashamed, "I let that happen. I wasn't even strong enough to fight off the memories!"
I gripped her shoulders, "This isn't your fault! You couldn't have fought him off! It's his fault!"
I saw her flinch, then immediately let go. Bruises were already forming on her shoulders and I stepped back, shock plastered to my face, "I-I...Sable..."
She shrugged, "It's fine, I've had worse." Then she did something unexpected. Sable held out her arms, looking at me with a strange pleading look on her face. I sat down on the bed and wrapped my arms around her. After climbing into my lap, she buried her face into the crook of my neck, "I'm so weak."
I held her a little tighter, "No. You're not weak. At all."
She pulled away and looked up at me, "I wouldn't have let his happen if I was strong."
I shook my head, my blue eyes connecting with her molten gold, "You don't need to be physically strong, I'm here, I'll keep you safe."
She smiled at me and my breath got caught in my throat, "Superboy, you can't protect me forever."
I frowned, "I can try."
She leant closer to me, "Thank you." and pressed her lips against mine.
My eyes widened, then slowly closed, and I pressed back. Her lips were soft and very shy, barely pressing.
She pulled away and looked at me, "Wow."
I nodded, then smiled slightly at her, "Yeah. Wow."
Sable grinned, then her face dropped and she looked away, "Why did you let me do that?"
I looked at her curiously, "Why wouldn't I?"
"Aren't you disgusted with me?" she whispered.
I pulled her close, "Never. Now come on, we need to go and speak to the others."
An expression of fear bloomed on her face, "Can we just stay here for tonight? I'm a little tired."
I sighed, but nodded, "Yes, but tomorrow we have to talk to the team." I took off my shirt, boots, and socks, and laid down next to her. She cuddled close to me, I wrapped my arms around her, and we both drifted off to sleep. But as I drifted off to sleep, I hoped she heard me think, 'I love you.'
~~Batman's POV~~
"Superman, we have a problem." I said to the image of Superman.
He looked at me, "What is it Batman?"
"Sable, the cat you burnt, is Desmond's daughter. Superboy wants him dead."
Superman frowned, "Why? Wouldn't Sable want him to stay alive?"
I almost laughed, but kept my composure, "No. Sable wants him dead as well. He wasn't a father to her, he was a rapist."
Superman's jaw dropped for a second, then he looked pissed, "He raped his daughter?"
I nodded grimly, "She buried the images, they were dug out today at the dinner table according to Aqua Lad. Superboy is calming her down as we speak."
He looked surprised, "Calming her down? Why is he doing that?"
I sighed and shook my head, "I think he loves her."
~~M'gann's POV~~
'I love you' that's all I could hear, him thinking he loved her. It hurt, but not as much as I thought it would. Aqua Lad put a hand on my shoulder, "M'gann, it's for the best. They belong together, I could tell from the first time I saw her hiding behind him as a human."
I nodded sadly, "He loves her."
~~Sable's POV~~
I tried to get closer to him, his breath had already evened out as he fell asleep. 'I love you Superboy. But you couldn't possibly love me. I'm trash, I've already been used, I'm tainted and I remember it now.' I slid out of his arms, not very easy to do, and pulled the towel tighter around me, 'I can't stay. They won't think of me the same way anymore.'
I pulled on Superboy's shirt before stepping out of the room and running over to the exit of the mountain. Stepping out into the cool night air, I took off Superboy's shirt and folded in neatly on the grass, then I looked back at the mountain one last time before changing into a dove and flying off.
