My eyes shoot open as my heart almost jumps out of my chest. "Sophie!" I yell at the top of my lungs not even letting myself process where I am.

My eyes go from a blurry to sharp as I look around the room, then I remember what happend last night and why I yelled sophie so loud. I am on a leather couch in Catwomans- or Selena's appartment, and sophie is missing, likely kidnapped and on the other side of the country, or worse.

I shake my head to figureatively shake away my thoughts and sink back into the couch, but still shaking slightly. It's quite in here. The only noise is the sound of people talking outside and the few cars passing by. For the rest, it's silent, I hate it.

I can't be alone with my thoughts right now.

The remote laying on the coffee table catches my attention. I grab it and switch on the television. It's a news report.

A blonde woman, blue eyeshadow and a serious demeanor. "Seven children around the city have been anounced missing today, police say that this isn't your usual kidnapping because all these kids went missing around the same time and place. Yesterday at around nine at Goods Street, if you have any information call this number or visit your local police station."

Sophie went missing on Goods Street. She's not alone.

The door behind me opens with a big swing and Selena walk in with a paper bag in her one hand and a suitcase in the other. "Did you sleep alright" She said while she layed her bag filled with groceries and started to unpack.

"I still feel tired." I groan as I rub my hand against the back of my head. "I'm making eggs, want some?" She asks as she hold a few eggs in the air. "Sure." I sigh. "Have you found any infomation about sophie?" I ask already knowing it won't be much by the cold look in Selena's eyes.

"I sorry kitty, everyone I talked to had no idea what could have happend. But I promise you that I will try to figure out everything I can." She walked over to the couch and sat next to me, she opend her arms and nudged me to fall into her.

My body gave in and I fell into her hug. I didn't cry, even though I wanted to. I never knew my mother and I wish I never knew my father, so Selena is the first adult I feel comfortable to touch. She's the one person I can turn to who won't judge me.

After some time that felt like forever Selena murmerd something "Kitty, the eggs are burning..." I inmediatly broke out of our embrase and sniffed my nose that got snotty for some unknown reason.

I open my suitcase that Selena filled with clothes, sanitary products, food, electronics and some other stuff I had lying around my appartment.

My mothers necklace.

I franticly open the jewlery bag hidden underneath my clothes and thank god it's in there. It looks like a normal heart shaped necklace but it has a small picture of a siren ingraved in the heart.

With this i'll be set for a while I think to myself.

I honestly don't know why I accepted Nightwings invitation to stay at Mount Justice.

Everything in my body tells me to leave this city and search every corner of the world for sophie, to leave the team. But I know that sophie would be dissapionted. And if there is anyone who decides what I do It's Sophie.

And when it comes to where I should stay I really don't have any other choice. I can already tell that having a teenager sleep on her, probably priceless couch, is stressing Selena out. I can't ask Dick, he's been acting distant lately and BatBruce would never alow me to stay there.
