Just A Dream (book 1)

Searching for reasons

Myra sat at a table in the very back of the library. Infront of her sat a book. This book was labeled, ' Villian Encyclopedia'. She flipped through the pages until one caught her eye. The title was, ' The Shadow Reaper'. She scrolled through the heading until she found the one she wanted. ' Acheivements' under this category lay all of his biggest wins against superheros and the number one spot claimed: Alex and Christy Tallsey; sadly there daughter was able to escape. After this account we have notice that The Shadow REaper is soon to seek revenge and find the only, Myranda Tallsey and put her in the same place as her parents. No evidence or accounts have been found as to why this villian chose the particular family but, all is done.'

She closed the book silently as a tear rolled off her cheek. Looking up she noticed that no one else was in the library anymore and she was still in hre hero suit. "I wonder what everyone else is doing. Maybe I should go back to the hospital where they kept me. But, what if they are tired of me and don't want me to go back? What will I do? I can't just leave them forever. And with this guy hunting me down, I am just putting all of them in danger. Well, that settles it. I am leaving. Forever." She started standing up and putting the book away when a hand landed on her shoulder. "You don't have to leave sweety, you can come with me." A low laugh sounded as Myra jumped away from the man. "Did you miss me? I'm sure that you could have hid easier if you would have stopped running away from everyone you love and that loves you back. Face it, everytime you run away, you end up loving them more and them hating you little by little. Besides, who can love someone who always runs away from them? Seems ridiculous doesn't it?"

Myra turned her back on him. "If they didn't love me, don't you think that they wouldn't be searching for me?" She said looking at the groud. The Reaper stepped forward. "Do you even know if they are looking for you? They simply could have just gone home withhout even thinking about you. They don't really act like they love you, do they?" He waved his hand and black shadows filled the room. "I think you amy want to find out these answers for yourself." A image formed next to him. It was of Robin and Starfire holding hands walking while Raven and Beastboy ate ice cream. Cyborg was talking to Bruce about how lovely Gotham was this time of year and no one thought twice about her. "You see child, once you do things so many times, people start to not care about you. This was the last straw for them. They knew that you would eventually show back up and so they aare not even worried about you." Then the library door opened slowly. "Myra? Are you here?" Robin and Bruce walked through to see Myra surrounded by shadows. "Myra!" Bruce yelled. "What? You finally decided to care for me? Or did your afternoon stroll get disrupted by a sudden reading feeling? I am not yours anymore. I don't care anymore. Its not like anyone wants me, I am just that one superhero freak that never went to school, or that never is able to pick the right person to be at the right time. I am just a screwup!" Robin ran over to her. "Myra, why would we be here if we didn't care?" Robin looked at the image being cast by the shadows. HE then turned to the the one that was controlling it. "Why did you do this? What do you have against her and her family?!" Robin yelled but the caster just kept a huge smile on his face. "Answer me!" Robin was getting furious. "I did it because, her parrents stole my expiriment." Robin was confused and Bruce walked in and stood behind Myra. "What expiriment?" Robin asked. "The one that is next to you. I Had stole a child from them once she was born, I then proceeded to expiriment on it to see if any one superhero could contain every single power that it wanted at any time. My plan worked but, after she had turned three weeks her parents had found me. I was beaten and thrown in jail. Seven years past and I escaped. I decided to kill them at there most vulnerable time, when they were in public. I took my time to kill them but when I was ready to take my child, batman showed up and put me back in jail. I have finally got out and I found my child and I have no problem killing anyone who wants to stop me from finishing my project. Come here darling, and I will fix you to were you will no longer have to endure the pain of people that don't love you." He extended his hand to Myra. Bruce grabbed her before she could make any other decisions. "she is not your child, she is mine." The Shadow Reaper withdrew his hand. "Oh, my little girl was adopted by Batman I see. Well, I hope you have fun trying to find her after I get through with her."
