You guys are amazing ^ยท^ thank you for all your reviews! Anyways, I think you'd like this chapter, because I certainly enjoyed writing it, but for disclaimer see previous chapter :D Also, did anyone notice that it was Anwens 15th birthday on Tuesday? Happy birthday to her! (And me, as she is exactly a year older than me :) )
"Don't go to bed angry. Stay awake and plot your revenge."
~ Unknown
"Tula's dead," the news she delivered sent an appropriately dead silence around the room. Bast stood, seemingly unemotional, but the emotional trial inside her was only visible to Nightwing.
"What?" Kaldur asked, shocked. She didn't blame him. Everyone knew, that even though Tula was dating Garth, Kal still harboured feelings for the red head.
Garth was in shock, taking a step back before running from the room.
"Why did you let this happen!" The normally calm Aqualad shouted at her.
"Kaldur!" She stepped forward to stop him as he walked for the beach.
He spun on his heel, glaring at her, "you have no right to call me that anymore."
The dream faded, causing her to fall into yet another memory.
"Nightwing, it'll be fine!" She ran through the corridors after her boyfriend. He didn't even turn to look at her.
"Nightwing, please!" She laid a hand on his shoulder. He jerked away.
"No. Kaldur has joined his father. Garth resigned, Tula is dead and Artemis and Wally are thinking of retirement. It will not be fine," he growled at her, slamming the door to his bedroom.
Bast stood there, shocked, staring at the door that had just been shut in her face. She lowered her head, and walked away.
She hated it when he lied to her.
Once more, the dream faded.
"No!" She screamed at Nightwing, "I will not calm down!"
"Bast, please! We can do this!" He pleaded, following her into the kitchen.
"We can't! You've been distant, the stress is too much, and you know it's just not working anymore," Bast sighed, practically whispering by the end of her rant.
"Bast," he whispered.
"I'm sorry Nightwing," she started walking away before the tears would fall down her face, "I really am."
When would this list of flashbacks finish?
"Where's Wally?" Artemis screamed. Bast looked around her at the arctic wasteland, anywhere but at the scene before her. Wally was was broken. Bast and Nightwing stood side by side, staring at the place where it all happened.
Mentally, Anwen screamed.
Bast placed the price of paper of the kitchen table. Her leaving note. She walked over to the zeta tubes, programming them to send her to Gotham, yet still showing everyone else that she was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. She turned the volume off, and walked out of the mountain. For quite possibly the last time.
