|Leaps of faith| A DC story |

We're over, okay?

I fell on the snow, I was more tired than ever. The fact that even the snow was comfy was depressing. It was better than sleeping on a cot for a week though. Wait. I've been gone for almost two weeks! Oh god, everyone's gonna be so pissed. Oh god. Cass is gonna be pissed. No way anyone is gonna believe the: 'Hey I'm so sorry I've been gone for a week. I had to fight in a war in a completely different multiverse.' Excuse. You know what, I'll be fine. I can see the cabin from here. I took a few steps closer to it, then my Spider-sense kicked in. I caught a fist from a figure in black. They proceeded to punch the arm I held their hand in. I dodged a kick to the face. Whoever was attacking me was fast. I got knocked over by the figure. "Where were you!" The person asked, I knew who it was the moment they spoke. Cassandra. I stood up. "Listen, I swear I can explain Cass," I told her, she noticed the blood on my shirt and face. "And why are you bloody!" She shouted, I noticed that her English improved in the time I was gone. "Cass, I'm sorry but I had to fight in this multiversal war and a lot of people like me were there and they were being hunted down by these vampire guys called-" She cut me off. "I don't want to hear it!" She told me, putting a single finger against my chest before she walked away. Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. "Cass, just please tell me that you're not gonna break up with me," I asked her, and she continued walking away. "I'm sorry," I told her before she entered the cabin. Fuck.

I sat on the porch of the cabin, hoping I didn't just potentially ruin my relationship with Cass permanently. I knew that nobody would believe the truth. I mean, if I didn't witness it with my own eyes I wouldn't either. A blur appeared before me. "Looking all over for you dude!" It was Wallace. Wait! He's got the speed force, he can travel back in time and stop me from going outside! "Hey Wallace, I need a massive favor-" He cut me off. "I know, you already asked me, wait, you technically haven't. It's complicated. But if I do it's gonna cause what Barry calls a flashpoint and then everything gets messy." Wallace said, sitting down next to me. I laid my back on the wood. "How mad is everyone?" I asked Wallace, he looked at me with a face that told me; 'You're fucked, man.' Welp, this is the best day of my life. "Is there anyone who isn't mad?" I asked Wallace. "Just Rose, however, she hasn't been doing much, just sharpening her weapons and training," Wallace informed me. Well, it's nice to know the one who tried to get me to cheat on Cass isn't mad at me. Wallace blurred out for a millisecond before appearing again with some soda. "Cola?" He asked, handing me the bottle. "Thanks..." I said, taking the bottle and opening it with my bare hands. "Sometimes I forget you have super strength," Wallace said, shaking his head. His was already opened yet overflowing with foam. "You could've just asked me to open that for you." I chuckled, Wallace tried to not get his hands touched by the foam. It was good to have a friend. My senses went off, I jumped up onto the roof, dropping my soda. Wildcat was standing menacingly behind where I just was. He looked like he was gonna kill me. "I swear I can explain." I in fact could not explain.

-🕷-

I sat on a bench in the training room, I had just spent four hours of getting my ass handed to me on a silver platter. I understood everyone was mad that I was gone for almost two whole weeks and I had nothing to show for it, aside from my new powers which I wasn't even able to use! My arms were sore and my torso felt like it had a hole in it. Knowing I'll have to be doing this for months was even worse. "I was worried," Cass said, entering the training room. I sighed. "We thought you were kidnapped, or worse," Cass said to me, I looked away, knowing she wouldn't believe me. "We had Wallace search the globe for you." She sat down next to me. "I read more to try and get my mind off it." She told me. We've had conversations like this before, but this one felt different. "And I started to think..." She said, I looked over at her. "And I'm not sure if we're good for each other," Cass said, I began to panic. "What?" I asked worryingly. Cass had a frown on her face. "Being a superhero and getting into a relationship is one thing, but both of us being a superheroes. It could be even worse. We never know when something bad can happen to one of us." Cass said, clenching her hands. "Cass you- I love you. I do. You make me so happy, you make me feel like I belong." I tried to reason with her, but she shook her head. "You're not understanding what I'm saying," Cass told me, I outstretched my hand towards her. She swatted it away. "Don't." She said, standing up and walking out. "Wait!" I shouted before she left the room. I fell to my knees. I haven't even been back for a day and everything's already gone to shit. Complete shit.

I walked around the door, thinking of what I do. Do I just let it be? Do I Cass go? I don't have anyone for advice. I don't have Tim, I don't have Bruce, I don't have Dad. Was she right? I had to talk to her. I dashed out the room, Rose had her thumb pointing at the door, she was busy watching some show with Wallace. I ran towards it, pushing it open. Cass turned her head. "Didn't I just finish talking too? What makes you think I want to talk about this more?!" She shouted at me, I tried and speak. "No! I don't want to hear it! Because I know that the closer I get to you, the more it'll hurt for you or me when one of us goes! So yes Y/N, this is the end of us! The end of Batgirl and Spider-Man!" Cass shouted again, I tried to approach her. "Cass I swear on my life nothing is gonna happen," I say quietly. "No! You say that but I know that something will happen to you or me eventually! I'm supposed to be the strong one, but those two weeks where I thought you were gone were some of the most painful days of my life! And that says a lot because I've been through a lot of shit! I don't care what you say, we're over." She said with tears in her eyes. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't crying too. She walked past me again, entering the cabin. I stood still, looking at the snow falling. God damn it Y/N.

(Bird here, sorry for the short chapter, just needed something to fill out the gap between the last and next couple of chapters. I plan to get the next chapter out either Wednesday or Thursday, whichever works the best for me.)
