The Batman Love Story

Chapter 5:Getting Familiar

Clark showed me my room in the watchtower. It was right next to his so he could check up on me. I decided to take a nap.
****
I was in a dark room. A glass box surronded me. I saw my sister outside the glass box I was in. She was crying. I yelled out to her. She didn't respond. Suddenly, I saw a man come into the room with a gun. I yelled again to my sister. She just sat there crying. Now the man had walked right next to her and was pointing the gun at her head. I was yelling at the top of my lungs now. I kept yelling for my sister to run but she still didn't hear me. The man pulled the trigger.

I woke up and Clark was next to me. He had his arms on my shoulders and was shaking me. He had a concerned look on his face.
"What's wrong Clark?"

"You're asking me whats wrong? I heard you yelling from my room!"

"I'm sorry. I had a nightmare."

"It's fine. Are you okay?"

"Yeah... Clark?"

"What?"

"When you lost your dad... did the nightmares ever stop?"

"No... But I get through them because I know my dad is in a better place."

"Thanks Clark."

Clark gave me a hug and told me it was already morning. He left and I changed into my suit. I decided to go into the gym we have on the watchtower. I needed to let some steam out. In the gym, I decided to use the punching bag. I practiced hitting the bag as hard as I could without breaking it. I couldn't keep thinking about my nightmare. I wasn't weak! I had to be strong! I was not going to break! Never Again ! I hadn't realized how hard I was hitting the bag and it broke off the hook sand spilling everywhere.
"Arggghhh! I can't do anything right!"

I noticed Flash standing in the doorway.

"Woah. I didn't mean to intrude."

"I'm sorry. I'll clean it up."

"I got it Ally."

Flash ran around the room. The sand was all cleaned up.

"Thanks, Flash."

"No problem Ally. Want to get lunch in the dining hall?"

I smiled that sounded pretty appetizing.

"That sounds great."
