The Green Bandit

White Rabbit

Kee was warm, comfortable, and had no idea why.

The last she remembered was that she'd totally flipped out at the enemy patrol. Oh no......no way......she had fallen asleep at the mercy of Kaldur?! Bolting upright she gazed in to the calming eyes of her father, who held her hand comfortingly.

' Dad?' She signed curiously, once she'd freed her second hand.

" Yeah hon, you fell asleep but it's fine now," Hal murmured quietly.

' Oh......did I miss my shift at the cafeteria?' Kee signed with slight surprise.

" No, no you've got an hour before that starts. But can you explain to me what happened?" Hal inquired, shifting closer to her in comfort.

Kee sat slouched on the bed, scrubbing a hand through her hair tiredly. She was still focused on the fact that Kaldur must have brought her back, and oh was she embarrassed! This sent her thoughts about him conflicting entirely, she couldn't show weakness like that in front of him! Oh man was he a strange guy, one minute traitor, the next minute protector!

Realizing she was yet to reply and Hal looked ready to check her over for a head injury, she stared to sign an answer, confusion still reigning in her eyes though.

' I needed to be alone, and he turned up wanting to talk. I flew away not wanting to talk to him when the patrol was sighted. They were too close to just let them continue on, so we fought them, and we won. I guess I just expended too much energy in the final blast,' Kee signed somewhat listlessly.

" Oh, kid, if he's bothering you you should have told me. I don't even know how he got out! But if he messes up I'll teach him a lesson for you," Hal assured, a glint in his eyes.

' Dad, please, I am not a child anymore, I can take care of my own problems!' Kee signed, fixing him with a small glare.

" Look.....I know that, but give a dad a break here, with all that's going on I forget how grown up you are now," Hal joked, ruffling her hair.

Kee rolled her eyes and stood up with the intention of stretching, only to grimace at the creaking her prosthetic made. 

' That better not be rusting,' Kee signed with an annoyed glance at the hidden limb.

Hal chuckled quietly, " I'm sure Batman will agree to look at it later, you know he has a soft spot for you," he pointed out mischievously.

Kee walked past him, giving his shoulder a nudge as she turned and signed her parting words. 

' Of course he does, it's my natural charm'.

After her shift in the cafeteria where she yet again had to stop uncooked meat from being served out, Kee was looking forward to doing something outside. She had too much pent up energy after her long sleep, and she was in the mood for a night flight. Surely the league wouldn't mind her going out for an hour.

Just as she made up her mind, her prosthetic creaked again, making her pause in her decision.

It's the perfect night for a flight! The weather's perfect, the moon and stars are bright, the wind has been tugging at you and begging you to go out again ever since your shift started! However, you did say your prosthetic was bothering you and knowing dad he probably has half the league ready to make sure you get it checked out. He is a worrier, probably because you're his only offspring. Well, he does have Carol. It won't take long to get Batman to take a look at it, you can go out afterwards.

So she set off in the direction of the lower caves, where there was more space and where Batman had his base. He built all sorts of things down there, and as far as she knew, Alfred and the boys lived down there too. Well, Red Robin didn't, he was studying abroad when all this happened and got ordered to protect his city over in Italy.
