Killer in The Mirror - (a Young Justice Fanfic)

Chapter 9

Normal POV - Back at the mountain

     The team had just gotten back to the mountain after their mission. Yes, the mission was won easily but they learned something important. Don't try and help Blood.

     After entering the mountain, Blood went back to his room. He wasn't really tired, but wanted to get away from anyone who breathed. Blood didn't like people to begin with. But Wally poked his buttons when he tried to help him after he told him not to. He even tried to say it nicely at first but they wouldn't listen. He really needed to do something to get rid of his anger, or he would kill someone.

     The rest of the team went to find Batman. They had notified him that they were near the mountain and to meet them there. Batman had told them about how self-reliant Blood would be, but they had not expected that.

     The met Batman in the meeting room. "Hello Team, how did the mission go?" He asked in his usual cold voice.

     "The mission was a success. It did not stay Recon unfortunately, but we won easily." Aqualad informed the Dark Knight, he nodded in response.

     "But we did learn something about Blood." Artemis said, throwing the new information out into the open.

     "You did? What did you learn."

     "Well at the warehouse where the deal was happening there were a ton of thugs. We won easy considering they were just low life thugs. But there were tons of them. Like a whole bunch. We got out mostly unharmed. I just got a shot in the shoulder, Artemis got a few cuts on her arm. Aqualad got punched a lot. But Blood got the worst of it. He got a bunch of cuts on his arms, and a Black eye. And he has a small limp from being kicked in the leg a bit to hard." Wally rambled. "But when we got back to the ship we tried to help stitch him up, because his hands were shaking. But he wouldn't let us. I eventually just tried to take the needle from him. Which was a really big mistake because he flipped me and got on my back and twisted my arm around. He let me go after a minute or so and went back to working on his arm. But what was important was that he got so mad when we tried to help him he looked like he was ready to kill us." Wally finally finished.

     "So you found out how self-reliant he was?" Batman confirmed. The teens nodded.

     "Well that may cause a problem in the future. If he won't anyone help him, he'll get himself killed."  Batman spoke, mainly to himself. It was true though. Blood was always gonna be in danger during a mission if he didn't allow anyone to help him.

     "Where is he now?" Batman asked. Drawing everyone out of their thoughts.

     "He went back to his room." M'gann answered. Batman nodded his thanks, before making his way there.

     When Batman got to Blood room, he was met with an odd sight. Blood had torn his mattress somehow and was ripping all the fluffing out. He looked extremely angry, which made him look more dangerous.

     The angry assassin turned his head towards the Caped Crusader. His lips pulled from his teeth in the form of a snarl, like a territorial animal. "What do you want Batman." He spat.

     Batman slowly made his way towards the boy, not sure how he would react to him walking into his room. "I just wanted to see how your first mission went." Batman responded, a bit soft as not to provoke the already mad child.

     "Well it went good. Not being sarcastic. We won and took down the dudes." Blood answered still pulling fluffing from the bed.

     "Then why do you seem so mad?"
