Venomous

The calm before

I stared at her in shock. The kid was right. It was Ame. In some ways I was relieved, and even excited. In other ways, I was scared and sad. Seeing her made my heart break. My little sister was alive, yet she has become the monster. She's a emotionless murderer, a stone cold killer and apparently didn't give a fuck.
Manta was thrown on the ground next to her. She grabbed him from Superboy and held him in her arms. For as of right now, he was unconscious.
The kid spoke,"I don't wanna go back with you, Midnight! I'm staying with my uncle now!"
In the time it took him to finish the sentence, her eyes had went from cold, and vile, to depressed and full of sorrow,"Y-you what?"
"For one, I'm very surprised that you came after me. But it was all in vain. I'm not going back." He grabbed my hand,"I found your friends and your brother, now I'm never going back to that prison."
She looked only at him,"Astrid, you can't."
I felt him tighten my hand,"Why the hell not?! You treated me like shit half my life! Didn't gave a fuck whether I lived or died but now that I'm in the hands of the enemy, you want me back?"
"I love you," she held Kaldur tighter,"We love you."
He looked at her in rage,"Where was that love when I needed it?!"
Ame started,"I....", but she couldn't finish.
"Astrid," Kaldur slowly sat up,"I know you must hate us but son please understand that we love you. We came to find you, in hopes that you would accept our apology and come back to us. In hopes that we could make up for our poor parenting and tough love and so that you can be normal. So that you can have a normal life."
"You know Manta, I while ago, I would have given anything to hear you say that."
"And now, my son?"
"I couldn't care less."
"I can't believe it." I cut in.
Ame gave me a sad look but quickly looked away,"I can't believe that you're here in front of me the whole time."
When I said that, she winced as if I caused her pain,"I can't believe that the infamous Midnight is my little sister. Midnight is a villain, and someone we heroes know all too well. She's a murderer and cold blooded killer. She doesn't give a fuck about what or who she hurts, just as long as she gets what she wants. She sometimes fights along side Manta. In odd pair but they fight well together-in sync-as if they've fought side by side all their lives. No one knows about Midnights backstory or why she's this way. Maybe it's for fun, or maybe she's crazy. Maybe she just enjoys hurting people and watching the life slip away from their bodies."
"I'm not here so you can tell me about what I've done," She said, finally looking at me,"I'm here for my son."
"Well I'm here to get things off my chest. And I don't give a fuck why you're here, all I know is that after 16 years, you're gonna shut up and listen to what I have to say," I felt myself getting icy"After all these years. 16 years I thought you were dead. 16 years I thought that my sister was gone and never coming back. I closed myself off from the world. I shut down and let my stupid emotions get the best of me. I sat there by the goddamn phone and waited for you to call! I called and listened to your same voice mail, I listened to you telling me that you weren't here right now and that you'd call me back. 16 fucking years, like the idiot I am, I waited and waited for a sister to return from her grave!"
We stared at each other. My face full of anger with her's calm and collected.
"16 years I lived without my sister, my best friend, my shoulder to cry on. I lived without you and I was miserable. And now that I found out that you're alive. You have nothing to say to me?!"
Her jaw tightened and her eyes darkened,"I'm holding back a storm."
"Then let it out."
