Urg... sports day... anyways, thanks for your reviews, and happy reading!
There was an explosion to their left. Cleopatra and Sphinx snapped in that direction of Barcelona, watching a building, and hopefully no people, blow sky high.
"Run," Sphinx whispered, dragging her partner away.
"What is it?" Cleo asked, fumbling with her laptop to get a visual via security cameras.
"The Young Justice," Sphinx leaped off a building, swinging down the fire escapes.
"Aren't they the team you used to be in as Bast?" Cleo huffed, quickly getting out of breath as the dodged late night party goers.
"That doesn't mean I want to see them. I left for a reason," a large figure in a black Superman top leaped down in front of them, "split!" Sphinx screamed.
Anwen and Sarah scattered, Cleo going one way, Sphinx the other.
Cleo glanced behind her at the flying, green skinned girl behind her, before tripping over a green cheetah.
"No way," Cleo muttered, before Miss M, for that was the green skinned girls name, mentally knocked her out.
Meanwhile, Anwen May Smith-Kyle, May Caroline Alden, Bast, Sphinx, Catgirl, or whatever you wanted to call her, was sprinting through the small side streets in the dim moonlight.
"Bast!" A voice she knew well called out behind her, "stop!"
Sphinx just ran harder.
She stumbled, her trusty black combat boots not being as trustworthy as she had thought. Anwen skidded, shredding the skin on her palms and on one cheek, sending streams of loose stones everywhere.
"Bast," Batgirl ran up beside of her, gripping her round the stomach and grappling up a building.
"I go by Sphinx now," she growled, struggling against her hold.
"Sphinx? Original," Batgirl conceeded, and Sphinx scoffed, "but that's not why I'm here."
"Oh? Pray tell," Sphinx rolled her eyes, pretending nonchalance.
"Bane," Batgirl shrugged. She winced as Sphinx kicked her shin, but didn't loosen her grip on her wrists.
"But then I saw you. And I sent some of the team after you and your friend-"
"Cleopatra," Sphinx interrupted, "her name is Cleo."
"Well," Batgirl sighed, "you know what happened to Wally. Nightwings heart broken that you left. He's cut himself off."
"Why should I care?" Anwen knew that Babs saw through her uncaring mask.
"Because you love him," and the bat themed girl disappeared into the shadows.
"I don't!" Sphinx screamed, leaping up. "I don't!" She took a step forward, unable to track the older girl and former friend. A single stray tear somehow made its way out of the domino mask, and she pulled down her hood.
"I don't," she whispered one last time. But she couldn't forget the nagging voice at the back if her head.
But you do, it said, you do.
