"I just felt emotion and I'm not okay with it."

I wake up looking around my room, half expecting to see my sister there the other half was expecting to see my father. When neither showed up, I got out of bed. My legs ached and burned with the small movement.Memories of last night flood my mind, the fighting and running bring a burning feeling to my whole body. I slowly walked to the bathroom, I looked into the mirror and all I was cuts and bruises. My once vibrant green eyes are now a dull lifeless void.

Today would make it nine months. Nine months since she died. I look away from the mirror not wanting to dwell on anything anymore. I reach over and turn on the shower, the hot water makes the bathroom steam over. I strip and get in, the hot water soothes my aching muscles for a moment.

I bathe and then I get out, the steamy air makes it harder to breathe. I step up to the mirror again now my mop of hair is down and wet making me look like a wet dog. I stare at the cut along my cheek, it was only a couple of hours old but it was almost gone already. I smile, It was becoming easier to use my powers now.

I step out of the bathroom and into my room .

"Okay now what do we want to wear?" I ask.

"Let's go with blue!" Soon the crimson red dust covers my room, gathering all the clothes that I will need for the day. Everything gets laid onto my bed and I get dressed. I then head down stairs and begin my morning routine, I made my coffee and I got my fruit.My phone began to buzz so I went over and checked it, it was Lenny.

"hey Lenny what's up?"

"It's Leonard Sammy, but anyways we won't be doing any jobs today or for a while. Also Mick says that he needs to see you and fyi there is a certain Mardon brother causing some trouble." He says.

"Okay I'll handle everything and tell Mick that I would be there later."I hang up and storm out of my house. Stupid Mardon getting into trouble. I walk out and today already feels bad, like something bad is just waiting to happen.I continue my walk until some guy runs into me, I fall back landing on my butt.

"Oh my, I'm sorry." The man says, I look up and there is a guy wearing a STAR labs sweater. Anger flows through my veins when I remember the night nine months ago.

"No your okay." I say the man helps me up and I ignore the sparks that erupts through my body when our hands touched. Memories flash in front of me and I feel the pain that he has gone through, I quickly pull my hand away and look at him.

"Um my name is Barry by the way."

"the name is Grace." I lie easily I walk away. I feel his eyes on me so I wave and continue to walk.

I find the familiar hideout, the place looked nice on the outside completely throwing people off. I walk up to the door and I do our signature knock. Not long after Mick opens the door. He gives me a hug and kisses my cheek.

"so how is my favorite criminal doing?" He asks, his deep voice rumbling and bouncing off of the walls.

"Good. Lenny said you needed me?" He claps his hands and a spark burns in his eyes.

"Ah yes, Well here is the thing we don't want coming on our next trip. The stakes are too high, and if things go south you can break us out."He explains. Lenny now decides to show up.

"This is bullshit Mick and you and I both know it but whatever. I won't go." They both seemed shocked by what I said.

"Now if you guys will excuse me I have a Mardon I have to kill." I wave them goodbye and I leave. Now where do I go? I look to the skies and the dread filled feeling comes back once again. It seems that whenever I think about one of the Mardon's the air seems to get this sticky feeling to it. I push that feeling down and I walk, I follow my gut.
