My Light Within Her Dark [T. Drake]

~14~

Ok so I have no idea how to describe a court scene, so here is the jest.

Michael frames Andrew that he kidnapped Selena, and had something to do with her parents death. Andrew tried to deny it, but since he had no evidence, he was so screwed. Selena tried to help, but was told to stay quiet by Andy. The Wayne's held her back, all except Jason cause he enjoyed watching her get angry. When it came to a decision, it wasn't a good one. Michael was on suspicion for suddenly having all this evidence, and Andrew was thrown temporarily in jail for conspiring to kill his own sister. Selena was in shock when they put handcuffs on Andy. Michael was secretly smiling as Andrew was taken away. He looked over at Selena and saw how scared she was. Selena couldn't move, but Tim and his brothers stood their ground as Michael started to walk over to her.

"Not so fast Mr. Karsen. Miss Karsen isn't going into your custody." The judge states causing Michael to get angry.

"Excuse me, but the family traitor is no longer able to hurt my niece and I will be taking her home." Michael states back.
Guards moved in front of him, stopping him in his tracks.

"I'm afraid that neither of Miss Karsen's uncles will be near her at this time. Due to lack of evidence to support the fact, Miss Karsen won't be going to you." The judge explained.

Selena was silent, she was stuck in her mind trying to calm Luna down. She was snapped out of it when Bruce stepped in.

"If I may, your honor. I am here today because not only is my son Tim dating Miss Karsen.. Selena, but her parents were known associates of mine for both Karsen Industries and Wayne Tech. If it'd be alright with Selena, I could take her in with my sons while this case gets solved. She will be provided with everything she needs and my family would watch over her full time. It's what Charlotte would want." Bruce stated his claim as he glanced at Selena who had tears ready to run down her eyes.

"I respect that you and her parents were not only business associates, but actual friends and would take on the responsibility of taking in another child Mr. Wayne. I will allow it, only if Miss Karsen agrees." The judge replied looking at Selena.

Selena looked around the room, she hated being on the spot like this. She glances at Andy who secretly nods as he was being held back by guards.

"I accept Bruce Wayne's offer. I will stay with him till the case is solved." Selena answered. Michael secretly grunts as he disappeared.

Selena watched as Andy was dragged away, she tried reaching out to him but was held back by Tim and Dick. Jason, Damien, Serena and Bruce all watched as the tears were building up in her eyes. Tim had his arms around her waist trying his best to hold as her eyes started to turn amber. Something inside her told her to calm down, for once it was Luna who calmed down the anger in Selena.

By the time Andy was gone, Selena was on her knees in Tim's arms. They helped her out of the court house, past the press and to Selena's ride. Tim put her in the passenger seat as she buckled in while as Tim got in drivers seat and drove off. Dick and Serena got into his car, while Bruce, Damien, and Jason got into their car and followed.

Selena was silent as she curled up into a ball and hid in her own thoughts.

"It could be worse." Luna said to her.

"How Luna? How could this possibly be worse? Man I hate asking that." Selena thought back.

"Michael could have thrown a tantrum and nabbed you. No offense but he is a douche bag." Luna answered with a slight joy in her voice.
