Chapter 6

(I'M SO SORRY THAT THIS TOOK SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!! I SWEAR I WILL TRY TO WRITE MORE! In the meantime,  enjoy this chapter! Warning: Mild language.) 

"Yes?" I asked.

"An old friend of mine, his circus is being threatened by a super villain. I need your help to help my friend. You up for it?" Nightwing asked, an almost daring smile on his lips.

"Sure, do you mind if I take care of this lip first?" I asked, gently feeling the swollen and torn skin, at this point I didn't really care what I did, if Nightwing needed my help, I would help.

"Of course, in fact. I'll help you." He said, walking with me to the medical room.

"Thanks, but you know I don't need it." I said. I was still a little wary of him. He may say he trusted me, but he was trained by Batman. He didn't trust me. Robin was different. He did trust me, enough to tell me his secret identity; he understood what it was like to have bad family relations. Nightwing, well. I didn't know who he was, so I couldn't tell if he related or not.

"I know." He answered.

"You don't trust me." I said, it wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"Batman does." Was all he said in reply.

"But you don't. Nightwing, don't lie to me. I can tell when someone trusts me and when someone doesn't. Most of the Team doesn't. Actually, the only ones who do are Mega'an, Wondergirl and Robin." I said, a little angrily. Just as he was about the answer we walked into the medical area and he saw Mega'an. She was sitting by Lagoon Boy's bed and she was stroking his head, looking fondly down at him.

"Will he be okay, Mega'an?" I asked, eager to stop Nightwing from replying, I hadn't thought before spewing out those facts.

"He'll be fine, he's just sleeping now." She replied.

"Batgirl and I really need to get going. Let's get that lip of yours cleaned up and be on our way." He said, leading me to a cabinet with medical supplied.

"Let me." Said Mega'an, flying over. Nightwing stepped out of the way and Mega'an treated my lip. I grabbed the side of the chair as a stinging pain went through my lip.

"Sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" she said, withdrawing her hand.

"It's ok. I just wasn't expecting it." I answered, she continued treating it and after a few minutes, it felt much better.

"You might want to grab a change of clothes. I don't know if this will finish today or take longer." Nightwing said to me as I thanked Mega'an and we left. I sighed.

"Are you sure you don't want to use someone a little more... experienced?" I was hesitant. I had just been shot on my first mission.

"The only other person I would take isn't doing missions anymore." He answered. I was about to ask who when I remembered that he had told be about his friends. The one's who had started the Team with him. Since Aqualad had turned evil, he must mean Kid Flash.

"I don't believe you." I said, testing him.

"And why is that?" he asked.

"It's just not logical to take me. I'm not as trained, I'm green you could say. You could take Wondergirl and have a higher chance of winning. Heck, you could take Miss Martian and have an almost certain chance of succeeding. But you take the new girl." I said. "Someone I know even killed my favorite 'celebrities' when I was young. And I couldn't stop him. I could do nothing."
