Case Of The Grey Eyes

|Chapter 24|

I think I spent way too much time thinking about that dumb word. It's been a few days and it's just stuck repeating in my head and all of those thoughts came with it.

Like, ' who all knows this word from Cadmus, and did those other two that attacked me, Wally ,and my cousin?' 'What would happen to me if this word was spoken?', 'Why would they still even care about me, after all I was the first experiment for them to test all this on for something else.' I think I was better off not knowing.

This is all just making me paranoid than ever.

Guardian couldn't find anything else and hyper focused on fully rebuilding Cadmus saying, if we needed him we would know where to find him.

School was the only good thing taking my mind off things. I went three years without it but my tutor, Ms. Vince, told me that I wasn't missing much that couldn't be taught. She claimed that I was really good at picking stuff and remembering how to apply it later, after the small test she had come up for me to gauge where my knowledge was she placed me in 5th to 6th grade as I was still lacking in some areas.

I noticed that Dick wasn't here around his normal time after school so I assumed that he was at the Mountain and told Alfred that I was going there to see what they were up to.

They had a mission a few days ago that left them on 'house arrest' because of their injuries so they couldn't go on any new missions and mainly meant they couldn't go out and look for Red again.

For the most part no one seemed seriously hurt, but Dick told me that Wally was kind of milking it with his injury.

Mount Justice; October 10th; 17:00 (5:00pm)

I get to the mountain and am greeted by... Captain Marvel? Running around back and forth with various things and taking them to the living room so I go and see what he's up to, and to the surprise of no one at all, Wally is messing with the poor man.

Dick had told me the extent of everyone's injury from their mission and that Wally had the worst of it with a broken arm.

Apparently a broken arm meant that Wally couldn't get up from his chair and get himself a drink.

I go stand near Artemis and Megan and nudge the former's arm gaining her attention. "What am I witnessing?" I question, eyeing Captain Marvel as he goes running out of the room yet again.

Art gives me huff, blowing her hair out of face, " Wally is acting like he is wheelchair bound having Marvel waiting on him hand and foot."

"Hmm..." I hum acknowledging what she said before continuing. "Ignoring Wally's antics, how has everything been here? I can see that Captain Marvel is watching over you this week?"

"Actually it's been Black Canary, She stepped away for a bit just now so you missed her, she was of course helping us train." Megan jumps in, moving out to stand in front of me and Artemis.

"So why is- you know what I don't even want to know anymore."

Recognize: Zatara|1-1|

We look out to the tubs as Zatara appears in front of us, without so much as a wave he turns around and starts messing with the Zeta Tube.

Access Granted: Zatanna Zatara|A-0-3|

Authorization: Zatara|1-1|

With a flash of blinding white light a girl resembling a smaller Zatara steps fully into the room, that's when Zatara turns and acknowledges the rest of us and we go to greet them at the Tubes as Black Canary also appears out of nowhere to greet them.
