I was heading to class just after my morning training session with Rene. We had been practicing for about a week but honestly I have been showing no growth. I don't know why Rene hasn't given up on me yet considering my lack of focus, energy and dedication towards this whole thing.

And to actually study after all that training was just sick. I was tired, I was sick of having to conceal my bruises every time I was out of the house. It wasn't my choice but I was made sure to not be suspicious of since we don't know who's who, what's what. Everything was overwhelming all of a sudden.

I walked and walked to the never ending hallway so I could get to my classes, be done with it and get home. I was longing for a long bath with scented candles and hours of undisturbed beautiful sleep since I had nothing more to do for the day.

Just few more hours Diana, then you're done for the night.

--------------------  

THE CLASSES NOW CAME to an end which seemed like forever. I want to be a good student I really do. But lately I've been lacking my interest in the whole studying process and Bruce said I shouldn't blame myself. He assured me that I was taking this thing well and with time I will adjust with the changes while we had coffee few days before.

Oh my god did I just tell you we had coffee few days before? Can you believe that! And the worst part is I actually seemed to enjoy his company? I was laughing at a walnut joke he cracked which was kind of weird since I rarely find jokes that amuse me, it's a habit. He even walked me home and we had a nice time.

As team members and friends of course, there's nothing more to that. I still have leftover feelings for Clark, but I hadn't seen him for days. All I heard was he was off to Seattle to visit his aunt but I know he wasn't. Either he's too embarrassed to face me or he's off on a Justice League mission.

My thoughts were disturbed when my friend Megan jumped in front of waving two sheets of paper.

"Oh my god there you are. We have to go to this new club down the block. I heard Kanye West will be performing there tonight." She yelled.

"Wow, that just made it easy for me to not go." I snorted. I didn't care if Green day performed, I was not in the mood to go anywhere and I needed this day so much.

"I know you broke up with Clark and you are still in the stay-at-home-with-pajamas phase but you have to get out and move on at some point. What happened to the fun Diana?" Megan asked.

Well, she died a while back. But I couldn't tell her that.

"I'm sorry, can you find someone else? What about Reese? Or Gavin? He likes Kanye." I suggested.

"Fine. But you're not done with this. I am taking you out someday and you will not refuse me okay?" She said before seeking out to our other friends who would accompany her for the evening.

I HEAD INSIDE the bathroom, as a bath with scented candles and few rose petals wait for me. Don't judge me, there's nothing wrong with pampering yourself once in a while. I stepped inside the tub, warm water approaching every inch of my skin as I sit. This was it, this was what I had been longing for. I look at my legs, arms. Bruises, marks, scars had managed to cover every inch of it. Rene was cool about it though, as if she had any scars.

I closed my eyes and thought about the week that had gone. I was somehow cool with the fact that I was now a superhero. I had visited all my team mates and they all seemed nice. They actually gave me hints and guidelines about what I should do and what I should careful of. They were pretty nice.

I called my mom hoping to reach to her but as always her assistant got the call. I don't know how busy she could be not even finding some time to talk to her own daughter. Talk about good parenting.

"Hi Diana. What can I do for you?" Will, her assistant asked. I had never seen this Will person but somehow he was my mother's favorite assistant. He's the only person who has been able to tolerate my mother's presence all these years and you have to give it to him.

"Um...let me talk to my mother when I actually call her?" I asked sarcastically. I hated having to find him on the other end of the phone, this happens a lot.

"I would love to but she's on her yoga classes at the moment." He replied.

Lie.

Again.

"Why does she even need yoga?"

"I would ask her but she's gonna be there for a while." He said holding back a laugh.

"That's not funny." I snorted.

"Can I take a message?" Will asked.

"Yes, tell her not to reach me in the evening since I will be busy with things and also that it's my off day so I don't have to be anywhere but home. Can you tell her that much?" I asked.

"Sure. Is there anything else?"

"Yes. Tell her she's actually gaining more weight around her waist, so she should actually start going to yoga classes than going on dates with guys twice as old as her." I replied closing my phone and putting it away. She actually thought she would go around behind my back and I wouldn't know about it?

Good going mom. But I'm onto you just so you know.

I STOOD OUTSIDE, looking for a towel to dry myself. But no luck on that. I grabbed a robe that hung nearby and wrapped myself with it. The bath was quite relaxing and I had managed to cut 50% of the stress that I had been carrying with me. Now a good nap would complete my definition of perfect evening.

That I had hoped though.

"Clark?" I asked in shock realizing the guy who stood in my bedroom with a confused face was my ex-boyfriend not an ex-con.

What was he doing here?

Also is that a bouquet of red roses in his hands?

"We....we need to talk." Clark replied.
