Chapter Fourteen:
Marcie took her time walking home, kicking away pebbles and just thinking. She really hated how everything was turning out, but she didn't know how to fix it. Every talk with Hale turned to a screaming match and one or the other storming away.
Marcie dug around in her pocket and pulled out her key, she stuck it in the door. "Mom! I'm home"!
"In the kitchen honey!"
Marcie set her bag down and walked into the kitchen.
"Mar, Mar!" Norah cried.
Marcie smiled, "Hi Norah."
Artemis looked up, "Oh hey Marcie," She looked around, "Where's parker?"
"He stayed later for training with Sander."
Artemis nodded, "And how was your day honey?"
"Long, but fun."
Artemis smiled, "That's good."
Marcie looked around, "Where's dad?"
Artemis rolled here eyes, "I accidently let him lift the cloth in the garage."
"The one that's hiding his old bike?"
"Yep, and now he's out there trying to get it to run again."
"What did dad even need with a bike?" Marcie asked.
Artemis laughed, "It was his cover, not as noticeable if he's riding a bike."
Just then there was a banging from the garage followed by Wally screaming. Artemis rolled her eyes and Marcie smiled, "I'll go make sure he's okay."
"Thank you."
Marcie walked out of the kitchen and to the garage door, "Dad?" She asked.
Wally looked up, "Oh hey Marcie."
Marcie stepped out into the garage and shut the door, "Hi Dad, you okay."
Wally waved the wrench he was holding, "Fine. It's just this stupid bike."
"That's your old one right?" Marcie asked, walking towards him.
Wally pulled her into a side hug, "It is, how'd you know?"
"Mom."
"Oh, I thought Nightwing might of been actually teaching you something."
Marcie laughed, "Dad, why are you trying to fix it?"
Wally smiled, "I thought you, or maybe Parker could use it. Probably Parker."
Marcie looked at the bike, "But it's still your colors."
Wally shrugged, "Eh, and wait you don't want to be the same colors as your old man?"
Marcie laughed, "Not at all daddy. I was actually thinking I be yellow and green?"
Wally beamed, "So both your mother and I."
"Yea."
Wally laughed, "That's my girl."
Marcie smiled, "Thanks dad."
Wally hugged Marcie again, "Tell your mother I'll be in for dinner in a few."
Marcie nodded, "Can do." Then she headed back inside.
"Is he alright?" Artemis asked when she heard Marcie come back into the kitchen.
"Fine. He just hates the bike."
Artemis shook her head, "That man."
"You are the one who married him and he says he'll be in for dinner in a few."
Artemis nodded, "Okay."
Marcie nodded, "I'm going to go up to my room."
"Ok."
Marcie headed back towards the front door and just as she hit the first step, the door flew open. Marcie jumped and spun back around, just to face Parker.
"Marcie!" He cried.
Marcie rolled her eyes and grabbed her bag, "Have fun?"
"Yes, and look what I found!" Parker said, he waved a piece of paper in front of Marcie, "A love letter from Hale to you."
Marcie gasped, "You, DWEEB! You were- you read it?"
Parker shook his head, "Not yet."
Marcie snatched it from him, "Dweeb, stay out of my room. What were you doing in there anyway?" She growled shoving the paper into her bag.
"Well Sander and I got into a fight about who was more skilled so we went looking for those papers you graded us on."
"Those are top SECRET!"
"Yea, we couldn't find them, but I found that."
Marcie shook her head, "You stay out of my room, or at practice I'm going to make your life dreadful. You hear me?"
Parker looked at his sister, who he had never seen so mad at him, and nodded, "Yea."
Marcie clutched her bag tight and stormed up the stairs, slamming her bedroom door behind her.
She tossed her bag in the closet and slammed that door and then threw herself down on to her bed, "Stupid brother!" She muttered.
Marcie crossed her arms and laid against her pillows and stared irritably at the ceiling like it was going to give her all the answers.
"Stupid idiots," Marcie muttered and she rolled over and closed her eyes before the tears could fall.
Author's Note: Hello.
Okay so to tell you the truth, I got ahead of myself. I have the ending written and the epilogues (Yes epilogues.) planned.
Still missing Young Justice. Though it's getting closer every day!
OH! I know! Marcie told her dad her colors are going to be yellow and green. The picture for this story is bad but it's something I made. It says Marcie West in green and it's on a yellow background.
Okay the next chapter will be up soon.
