Young Justice(Prequel to Crisis On Earth Prime)

|Chapter Thrity-Six|

|Third Person's POV|

Dawn was horrified.

And she was furious.

There were so many emotions battling inside her that she had hard time making out which one was the strongest.

Her head was hurting but nothing ached as hard as her heart. It was breathtaking, and not in a good way.

That's why she stumbled alone in front of the door of the only person she knew she could share this with.

Livia opened the door swiftly, dressed in her pj's, her straight blonde hair in a braid. She looked tired from the hard battle they had hours ago but she still smiled when she saw Dawn.

However, her look transformed into a concerned one as she noticed the pain on silver speedster's face.

"What's wrong?" Was her first question as she moved to let her friend in. Dawn reminded herself to breath as she crashed on the nearest chair. Her face was grave when she said. "Kyle,"

"What did he do?!" Livia flared. Dawn didn't expect her to be this angry when she hadn't even explained anything yet. She swallowed, then took another deep breath and started speaking.

"Kyle is Blink,"

There, she said it. Now it sounded more real. And it felt more painful.

Livia was quiet for a few seconds, then she asked in a soft tone. "How?"

"I guess I always noticed some similarities but ignored the signs. But today, when Elias and I were fighting Blink, I noted the way he moved and fought. I have seen those movements thousand times when I was training with Kyle. Then I got a closer look at his face, I watched the way his lips curled into a smirk, a smirk I've seen on Kyle's face and then I looked into his eyes. . . I-I knew it was him." She chocked on the last words and Livia wrapped her arms around her as she started to cry.

She didn't want to shed a tear for someone like him but she couldn't help the fact that she had fallen in love with the enemy.

For a while, none of the girls uttered a word as Dawn wept in silence. The pain, the anguished heartache made her tears fall like pearls on her cheeks. She was biting her lip to not keep quiet but she was scared, and hurt and betrayed.

Out of all people she could've fallen in love with, she fell in love with the one that dreamt to destroy them all.

Why did she ignore the signs? Why did she not believe her senses when they screamed around him? Why? Just why did all of this had to happen?

Livia told her everything. She told her all that she, Sofia, Gwen, Andre, Ronnie and Tess had found out. Dawn was too crashed by the information to get met at her friends for keeping everything a secret.

But it was good that she didn't know. Because this way Kyle wouldn't find out.

She trusted him, she trusted him with every cell in her body and he betrayed her.

"I should've asked him more questions, I should've asked him how all was." She whispered.

"How could've you known? We just started figuring this out," Livia told her softly.

"I was around him every second, but I didn't notice anything. He told me things about him and instead of connecting the dots, I blindly smiled and tried to ease his pain." Dawn clutched her chest. She knew things, things that could be deadly important but she still felt like she would betray him if she uttered a word.

Yet, did he not betray her? Did he not tell every word to Anti-Justice that she told him? He must've been behind all those surprise attacks. He was the reason why she had to go in Speed Force, perhaps why the doors locked down and she, Livia, Connor and Jordan got stuck in the Kryptonite room.
