Blue Beetle and Firestorm (Young Justice Fan-Fiction)

I'll Manage (Chapter 24)

Tiffany POV

July 3rd

Surronded by multiplie caffeinated drinks, i sat in front of the Super Computer, the T.V playing softly in the background. I was finally making some progress on my search without Robin's help. If i was going to find out about my life, I was going to do on my own.

It took almost 5 hours, but i finally found out where my first foster home was after a lot of researching and hacking into many secret files. I had no idea why it was so difficult just to find it. It was like they were hiding it...

"Where are you?" I said under my breath. I click on a link and scrolled down. Shit.

It was located in Detroit.

Couple of weeks later

"I can't believe I broke my damn arm fighting Toyman, one of the most lamest villian!"

"You sprained it. Your arm isn't broken." Said Jaime. We were hanging out at the skate park in El Paso. We had just hung out with his friends who had left almost an hour ago. We decided to spend some time alone on the vacant side of the park.

"It happened two weeks ago dude. It should be fine by now. I can't even board with you guys! I had to sit and watch you have fun."

"Give it time."

"Easier said than done, love. But the bright side is that I get to spend more time with you...sucks you have to go to school soon. "

Jaime was about to start school in a few weeks while I decided to take online classes. I really didn't want to go back to that hell hole and I feel like I wouldn't be able to attend school as much anymore anyway.

"Sì ese. It's nice to hang out with you. We haven't hung out really since the 4th of July after we got interrupted by Bart." Crap. I knew where this was going.

"And... you were going to tell me something. What was it?" I shifted around nervously. "You remember that?"

"Duh. It sounded important." Ugh. I didn't want this moment to come. He would either take it well or  i didn't even want to think about it. But I had to tell him eventually.

"Okay then... Well I found out were my foster home is. The location." He lit up and held my hands. "Really? That's awesome!"

"But the foster home is in... Detroit." His grip tighten. "Okay.. that's fine... I mean we can do it together." I let go of his hand and hugged myself.

"That's the thing... there isn't going to be a we. It's more of a just me. Alone."

"What?" His eyes narrowed.

"Let me explain-" He stood up knocking down his board.

"Are you crazy? Detroit?! By yourself!? You know it bad with just the normal citizens but now with all of our enemies deciding to call Detroit their town! You'll get yourself killed!"

I stood up facing him. I could feel my temperature rising. "You don't think I know that Jaime?! That's the reason why I'm going alone! You'll get yourself killed! It's too dangerous for someone like you!"

"What does mean?"

I ignored his question, "Jaime. I'm doing this alone. I'm going to Detroit by myself. And I'm going soon. I don't care what happens out there. I'll manage."

"Maybe. But what happens if someone takes or kills you? It's Detroit, Tiffany! Not Gothom or something, were we have it 100% under control! Every villain is now going there, out of our reach. Once they find out you're there, a person from The Team! They will kill you. You are not going without me."
