I'm right here

The last little dragon

"You took my daughter out without permission!" I wake up from dad's arguing. I try to sit up but uncle Bruce press my head down. "I'm not finished." Instead of moving my head I move my eyes around, I'm in the watchtower medical wing. "What happened to me?" He continues to push buttons. "That's what we're trying to find out." I hear my father outside of the medical room still fussing at Jaime. He scans me with the machine and waits for the data to load. Dick walks in with a bottle of water and a small bag of chips. "Thirsty? I heard you had a wild day yesterday." Yesterday? I've been out since yesterday?! "Hmm..." Batman hums. "Hmm?" Dick and I question. "Someone poisoned you but, not enough to kill you." The doors opened. "Who poisoned my daughter? Why would they poison her?" Dick helps me up. Seeing my dad riled up like this it's intimidating sometimes it feels like I'm the one in trouble. "I don't know, it looks like there's a target on your daughter's back." Jaime looks at me worried. "But, why? She's a normal human girl." Uncle Bruce cross his arms. "You're still not going to tell her?" I look at my father, he scolds uncle Bruce. "Don't Bruce, don't do it." Don't do what? What is he going to do? "Dad, what is he talking about- ow!" "Bruce!" Dad yells. My heart rate speeds up and my vision blurs, I feel someone catch me before I fall and hit the ground. "She needs to know."

I wake up with a banging headache, I sit up from the bed. "What?" I look do own my brown skin has light strip marking patterns. What is this? "Blake don't freak out." Dad says. Jaime looks at me with a surprised look on his face. "Wow mi amor, you look amazing!" I look at my reflection on the window and I scream. I step back stepping on something causing me to wince. I look behind me and there's a long slender tail trailing behind me. "What the hell!?" I grab the tail looking at it for a moment. It also has stripes on it and it has a little fur on the tip almost like a lion. My ears are slightly bigger than my human ones and they move. I look at my eyes, they're red and the pupils are vertical like a lizard or a cat and my body is much slimmer than it was before. I turn around accidentally knocking a few things off the floor. "What am I? Who am I? Why would you keep this from me?" I ramble on with questions. "Woah, who is that?" Jon looks me up and down and I blush. "Jon!" I snap and he's taken aback. "Blake? What the hell happened to you? I can't believe I was checking my own sister out. Gross." The tip of my tail move side to side. "Ok everyone settle down. Blake take a seat, Bruce and I Have to tell you something about your past." I nod sitting down, or at least trying to. "You need help?" I shake my head grabbing my tail and I sit. "Years ago your uncle and I were on a mission in Antarctica. After completing our mission and before we could leave I heard a small heart beat coming from the ice. We moved the snow away where I heard the heart and we found you encased in ice. We had Barry investigate you before we pulled you out. Apparently you've been in there for thousands of years." Jon, Jaime and I jaw dropped then Jon laughs. "You're dating an old woman." Jaime rolls his eyes. "She's technically older than you." Dad shakes his head at the two. "When we pulled you out your body was still warm, when you awoke you turned into a little dragon and tried to fly off but you passed out before you could. I guess you were tired from putting all the energy in keeping yourself alive or you were weak from the stasis you were in. We took you to Doctor Fate and he knew a lot about your kind. Sadly they're all gone there's no trace of them except you. You're the last of your kind, Doctor Fate advised us to hide your power. He said the reason why dragons are extinct is because of their blood, it is a cure all drug, people hunted them for their blood it was also rumored that their blood can give you immortality. He gave us a special flower that will hide who you are but what we didn't know is that it will have a negative effect on you. You having asthma. Bruce made a special inhaler for you. What you are breathing in is the flower it's self. Not only is it helping you breathe it's also helping to mask any sign of your existence. Understand, I did this to protect you." This was a lot to process, my tail coils around my leg and my ears move back. "I understand but, you should have at least told me. Am I really 14?" Dad quickly answers. "Yes, you are definitely 14." I nod. "Ok." I slowly get up trying to avoid stepping on my tail instead it slaps dad in the face. "I'm sorry!" He wasn't phased. "It's ok I probably deserved it anyway." Jaime walks over to me smiling. His hands go to my slim waist. "Damn who knew you could get even sexier." I turn away hiding my blushing face. "Enough flirting with my daughter. Blake we have to seal you away now." I nod and I feel a pinch in my neck.

I wake up again back in my own skin, was it a dream? "Dad, I had the weirdest dream, I was a dragon." I say and dad chuckles. "It wasn't a dream." I frown. "Oh, I see." Dad hugs me. "I'm sorry." I hug him back. "I know."
