Hacker R (Book 1)

» 05: Why Do I Have To Watch Him?!

Am irritated huff made its way past my lips as I was dragged along to another base. "I'd rather continue the interrogation."

"There's no need. I already obtained all the information I wanted."

"I already obtained all the information I wanted." I mocked, swaying my hips slightly. "I don't care! I don't want to go to another fucking base! It's not even a secret! Everyone knows about it, you know." He gave me a look. "Oh. You do know. Well, that's gay."

"Come on." He instructed, walking through the zeta beams, and again I followed.

We entered what I believed to be Mount Justice. The base of the newly made kiddie league, and everything was as white as the Watchtower. Strange how Batman designed both bases, yet chose such an annoyingly blinding color.

I remained silent as we walked through, only the sound of clicking heels against tile could be heard for a moment. The sound of chattering voices soon following suit. "I don't play well with other kids, you know."

"They're all older than you, so I'm sure you're fine," Batman stated, not even sparing me a glance. Rude.

"Why am I even here again?"

"Because minors aren't allowed to stay at the Watchtower." He grew silent for a moment. "And you agreed to come."

This man is just looking for excuses. Its so obvious. I know you have a plan, Bats. And I will figure out what that plan is!

"Only because I had no choice." I huffed again, ceasing my mental rant. "Plus, the speedster is cute."

My comment received no reaction as we entered what I believed was the base's kitchen. All those annoying voices from early suddenly growing quiet as they watched us come in. Their eyes landing on Bats and then me; confusion riddled all over their features.

"Who's this, Bats?"

"Is he a new addition to the team?"

"No. He is a mission." Batman spoke.

"A mission? Sorry Bats, I don't follow." Kid Flash stated, raising his brows in confusion. Nods of agreement coming from his teammates.

"This is the hacker, R-"

"R?!" Kid Flash interrupted, receiving a glare from Batman and a snicker from me. "Sorry.."

"He is being targeted by the Joker and will need to be kept under the protection of the League until this threat passes. Unfortunately, he isn't allowed to stay at the Watchtower, so he will be held here instead."

"I can handle myself. I don't need a bunch of grown-ups in clown costumes and their sidekicks protecting me." I folded my arms loosely over my chest. "I already had everything figured out before you dropped in and dragged me away- which is kidnapping, I hope you know."

"This is not up for debate." He stated.

I glared hard at him. "You spoiled little rich piece of-"

"Whoa!" Kid Flash cut in, zooming to my side. "Let's not start any beef with the Bat, okay?" He met the spoiled little rich piece of shits eyes, "We'll watch him, and don't worry, he will be here when you get back."

Batman simply nodded before walking out. "Hey!" I called after him, "I'm not done talking to you!-" an arm reached out and stopped me from running after him. The speedster holding me back. "Let go."

"Look, I get that you're pissed and that Batman is being a bit of an ass, but he's just trying to protect you." He explained.

"Kid Flash is right." Aqualad joined in. "We only want to help."

"He doesn't want to help me! He wants to keep an eye on me because I know everyone's identities! Including his." I ranted. "And didn't I say to let go?!" I roughly threw Kid Flash's arm off me.

He may be cute, but he's still a hero. And all heroes are the same. With their nauseating positive personality and belief that everyone is good until proven wrong. Just Ew.

I turned to walk away, but the Martian appeared in front of me this time. "Please don't go just yet. Give us a chance to get to know you. It may be fun."

"I don't do fun."

"Look, if he's just going to try and run off, we'll lock him up somewhere so he can't escape." Artemis cut in with her oh so charming personality.

Little bitch.

I gave her a crooked smirk, practically glaring daggers at her. "Only you would think of doing something like that. Always choosing the harsh route. But, I suppose you have no control over it. It's in your blood after all."

She sent me a hard stare as her body grew stiff.

"I didn't get my reputation for being stupid, you know. I know everything about you and I must say, you definitely do not fit on this side of the spectrum."

A fist was all I received a reply. Hitting me square in my mouth and knocking me over.

"Artemis!" I heard Kid Flash yell as I sat up, trying to rub away the pain. I'll admit, she packs a punch..

"Just keep him away from me." She huffed, walking past me and out of the room.

Standing up, I dusted myself off, ignoring the nagging voices in my ears. "Someone please kill me."

*******
