Barriers

Haunted (part 3)

Raven

I am so stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid.

I know I saw slade but yet I hesitated. It's 100% Tess I saw him. Even Jamie said the bug sensed something.

Now Damon is mad. He knows I lied. When he flips out I count help but feel it was my full.

If I had said something Starfire would have listened to Damian but that was in the past and I can't change that.

I helped Starfire up. "Are you ok?" I asked. Everyone gathered around her.

"I think we should call Dick. He could talk some sense into Damian. Plus if Damian flashes out at him Dick can defend himself. "

"A tour saying we can't defend ourselves?" Jamie said, giving me an angry look.

"No that came out the wrong way."

"I can assure you that we are all capable of taking down a human." Raven seemed to get mad at that last part.

"Humans are every bit as strong, and Heroic as you. Some are even better."

Starfire

This is bad. We are getting divided. We aren't effective if we are fighting.

But I couldn't break up this fight. I let it blow over and let Damon go on his wild goose chase. He can't get hurt if he isn't fighting anything right?

I called Sick to vent out to him. The whole apartment thing wasn't really working.

I have to stay here and watch the kids or they will set the tower on fire.

"What should I do?" I vented out everything to dick.

"First of all are you ok?"

"Yes."

"Second, I will talk to him. Him and Slade go way back. I suggest you talk to Tara, they both just need someone."

"Thanks dick."I said.

"You can thank me tomorrow at dinner." He winked. "I have something special for you."

Then we Hung up.

I went to Tara's Room. She was sitting on her bed looking out the window.

"Ahem." I cleared my throat to get her attention. "Are you ok?" I walked in and she just looked at me.

"Yeah. Of course. What makes you wake that?"

"Well Robin did that Slade was back. I know how you feel. And you if you need someone to talk to we are all here for you. "

"Ok." He got up and walked to me. "If I need help I'll ask."

Before I knew it she was pushing me out the door and shouting it.

That could have gone better, I said to myself.

Dick

Damian was surprisingly hard to find. I know he was trained with assassins but this was hard.

I found him on the roof of some building.

"I saw you coming a mile away." He said as I landed.

"We need to talk."

"About what. There is nothing to talk about."

"Yes, there is. What's up. You flipped Starfire, and claim to have seen Slade."

"Well sorry if you hurt your girlfriend. But what I am dealing with right now doesn't concern you."

"yes it does. I know what it's like. Slade went after me too. Somewhat."

"He didn't break your arm."

"No. But he did attack me. Sorta"

"You don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes I do."

"Then why do you keep saying sorta."

"Slade attacked me using a mind trick. There was something in the dust that entered my brain and made me think I was fighting Slade and while I was doing that I caused my body physical damage."

"The difference between you and me is that I really fought him. It wasn't in my head."

This made me bad. We were about to leave the wagon. I grabbed his cape and pulled him down.

"You aren't going anywhere."but I just made things worse. Now he was better that usual.

She swiped at my legs and I fell back. He sat on top of me and grabbed my collar.

"You wanna talk let's talk. To start our team is falling apart,"

"Wha?"

"Raven can't control her emotions, tara isn't even trying to be part of the team, you and Starfire keep doing it, and on top of it no one believes me at all."

"Wha?"

"Starfire told you. When I was getting the crap breathe out of me they just stood there."

"But how could they fight something that wasn't real?" I got him now I thought.

Damian grunted and let go and let me get up.

"If I can't stop you just let me come along like back up."

"No"

"Come on you need me you know it" I said with a smirk.

"Don't make me put you down." He drew his sword. He wasn't backing down. But mother was I.

I stepped towards him but just attacked me.

"I said don't follow me."Now it was a battle.

Damian wasn't letting me get with him.

He shot a lung and wrapped around my feet and he pulled it and I came crashing down.

He was about to get away when my dodgy just reacted with thinking.

I got up and grabbed him in midair again and we fell to the ground. I wrapped my arms around him like a hug but in a more threatening kind of way.

Damian struggled, squirming around.

"Just chill."

Be didn't respond unless you count him growling.

Before I knew it he swanded his head back and smashed it into my noise. I fell back blood strayed as I breathed out.

After wincing in pain I opened my eyes. Blood was getting all over my uniform and on the ground.

Holding my nose I looked up and Damian was gone.
