Secrets

Chapter 5

(So sorry this took so long!!! I'll try to get the next update up sooner, guys! And thank you for 150+ views!!)

When I woke up Robin was standing next to my bed.

"Hey! The Doc says you can get up, Sis! Wanna come to the living room? Its movie night and we're about to have dinner. Everyone's here." He said, smiling. I nodded and sat up, noticing that I wasn't sore anymore. I glanced at my shoulder and saw that my bandage had been removed and that I was healed, the only thing left was a scar.

"Jason, how long was I out?" I asked, confused.

"I checked on you yesterday."

"Okay, so yesterday I got shot?"

"Yup. Are you coming? Oh, and Mega'an thought you might be hungry. There is some food in the kitchen. "

"Thanks! I'll be right in!" I replied, and then I got up and headed to the bathroom. By some miracle, my blonde hair wasn't greasy and it actually looked pretty good. I was a little surprised to see that my mask was still on; I took it off and checked my eyes. They were still blue, which was good. So the serum hadn't changed me physically. I hastily applied some mascara then put my mask back on. For some reason it felt safer when I had it on, like nobody could read my face. After brushing my hair I looked at my hands, my ring was gone. I felt a sudden pang of sadness, it was the one item I had that was of some value. But, it was still just a ring. I would survive. Once I had checked myself in the mirror and saw that I was presentable, I went out. Wondergirl or Cassie ran over to me and hugged me tight.

"I heard you got shot! Oh my gosh, Batgirl! Don't ever worry me like that again! Diana, I mean, Wonder Woman almost had to tranquilize me to keep me from coming after you!"

"I'm fine now, Cassie. I hear we're watching a movie. Who picked and what are we watching?"

"Mega'an picked! We're watching a movie called The Princess Bride. It seems okay. Go get yourself some dinner then join us in the living room. "She said, she had been waiting in the hall outside my room for me. I nodded and she and I walked to the kitchen where I grabbed myself some dinner and then we headed to the living room. When I walked in everybody asked if I was okay, I replied that I was and then we all went back to watching the movie. I sat behind the couch because I didn't want to answer questions about my injury. I was just starting to relax when Nightwing tapped me on the shoulder. I jumped and nearly broke his wrist by instinct.

"Geez! Nightwing, don't scare me like that." I said, irritated.

"Sorry, I was in the Bioship today and I found this. I think it may have fallen off your hand when you were set down in there." He said, opening his hand to reveal my ring.

"Oh, thank you so much!" I said as I took it from his hand and slipped it back on my finger. He simply smiled, then added.

"I want to see you in the training area tomorrow, at around seven. You'll be training with the Team until I get some time to train you one on one."

I nodded and then went back to watching the movie. It was a while before it ended, and soon I was feeling a little bored. I got up and headed towards the training room. I didn't care what the doctor said, I was anxious and I needed to train before I went crazy. I went towards the punching bag, I thought I couldn't hurt myself to badly on that. I was just getting started when someone coughed behind me. I jumped and instantly jumped into fighting mode. Before I could think about what I was doing myy fist was flying at the person. It was knocked aside; I looked up and saw Nightwing. He was tense, ready to block another blow.

"Sorry, you startled me." I said, unwrapping my hands. He nodded and relaxed slightly.

"Understood. But you shouldn't be training. The doctor said no training until tomorrow. You need to recover." He said, sounding a little bossy.
