Dick gasped in horror and dropped to his knees. His eyes were wide and he couldn’t stop staring at his bloody fists.
A few feet away, M’gann was sprawled on the floor, unconscious. A pool of blood was forming underneath her head and staining the floor beneath her. He had been allowed to go back to Mount Justice and Batman told them his identity just in case.
Back to the topic.
It didn’t feel real. Dick looked at M’gann and started choking. He couldn’t breathe.
You did it again.
You’re just a monster. You’ll never stop hurting the people you love.
Just kill yourself. Nobody would have to deal with you again and they can live their lives peacefully again.
Just die. Nobody’ll notice.
*Tap*
*Tap*

“Hey bro, where’s M’gann? I’m hu-”
*Clatter*
“What. The. HELL HAPPENED!?”
Wally ran up to M’gann and assessed her injuries.
“What happened? I hear-” Superboy froze. He looked at M’gann and to Dick who was on the floor shaking.
Artemis gasped.
“What did you DO!?” Superboy yelled and stomped towards Dick. He grabbed the collar of Dick’s shirt and slammed him against the wall, making a large dent in it.
“WHAT DID YOU DO TO M’GANN?!?!?!?” Superboy yelled again and slammed Dick back into the wall.
“I-I-I s- s-..” Dick stuttered and looked around the room again. Wally was right at Superboy’s heals, completely pissed off. Artemis was shaking M’gann’s shoulders while Kaldur stood with a grim look on his face, calling for help.
Dick started coughing. The pressure on his neck was too much in his weakened state.
“YOU MONSTER! TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO M-!”
“Stop,” Wally said. Superboy turned around, confused.
“Stop it Conner. Just, stop.”
“What do you mean? He HURT M’GANN!” Connor yelled.
“Yeah.. but hurting him, we’re no better than him,” Wally said and he walked away towards Artemis and the others that gathered around.
Superboy glared at Dick.
“You’re a monster,” he hissed and dropped Dick to the floor. He started in the same direction as Wally to help M’gann.
Dick lay on the floor, eyes unseeing and cloudy from fear. Utter loneliness washed over him, drowning the pain.
See? Even your own team thinks you’re a monster.
You’re no better than the Joker himself.
HAHAHHAHAHAHHHAahHAHHAH!
FOol!
What made you think they’ll accept you at all?! Idiot!
“Ha. HAha. Ha,” Dick started gasping silently. Nobody payed attention. He was okay with that. He hurt somebody, he deserved this kind of treatment from them. He always expected it since he came back. He knew it was too good to be true.
“WHat HAPPENED!?” Canary nearly, ALMOST, screeched when she entered the room.
She looked at the group around M’gann and then Dick who stared at nothingness on the floor. She looked Kaldur.
