Life anew

The Begining

  “I was a hot mess

In my Sunday best

Black tears in my eyes

 

You were my first love

You were my only one

I can't believe your lies

 

Once we were like bottle rockets

Now I know I have to stop it

Please believe me

This isn't easy

I just need to say goodbye

 

Goodbye

Goodbye

Losin my mind

Goodbye

 

You got a new friend

You like to play pretend

I'm just keeping my cool

 

Turn on that smoke machine

Magic and make-believe

She'll never know you like I do

 

Once we were a fire burnin

Now you're just a lesson I'm learnin

Please believe me

This isn't easy

I just need to say goodbye

 

Goodbye

Goodbye

Losin my mind

Goodbye

 

I know that I can find somebody

You won't ever find nobody else like me

 

I know that I can find somebody

You won't ever find nobody else like me

 

Once we were like bottle rockets

Now I know I have to stop it

Please believe me

This isn't easy

I just need to say goodbye

 

Goodbye

Goodbye

Losin my mind

Goodbye!”

 

 This is the song that plays through the red headphones resting over the ears of Itzu Vermilion-Todd, as she and four other teenage boys sit in silence as they drove in the blue minivan, simply wanting to turn the whole world off that played around them as they drive to the airplane provided by Wayne Enterprises that will more or less, ship them out of the country. Their lives have been ruined, after all its hard to be a superhero when you have your identity stripped from you, your homes destroyed, your hearts broken, and in one of the teens cases, cursed. It had been fine before then, or at least better than it was now, Itzu had just turned thirteen a few months before and had finally found answers to the voices in her head, the voices of the dead, she had been flying through the sky as Renegade, with her adoptive father Red Hood. But then, he had been murdered by an assassin working for the League of Shadows, who had continued to destroy Itzu’s world (again I will add) by torturing the poor girl and bringing back memories she had worked so hard to recover from, to make matters worse the man, Ra’s al Ghul cast the Ankhseram curse on her; a curse that they still don't know the true effects of.  How she managed to escape and still stay sane, the other heroes were afraid to ask. She had refused to sleep, and ate very little to none at all. She was missing for two months before Batman found her in the Gotham Narrows. The broken child was even more distant than when Jason found her, and now with him gone it left all the other heroes wondering if she’ll ever recover.
