No one said anything for a moment, before Batman walked over to me, giving off an intimidating aura that triggered that one flight or fight instinct. I cringed slightly, taking a step back as he got close. He saw that and stopped once he was close enough.

"Why are you being chased?" He asked.

"Don't know. Probably a threat to someone. They threatened that person too, though. If that helps." I pointed at the people I traveled with.

"You have abilities." He stated.

"Yup." I popped the p, looking to the side, trying to show it was obvious.

"What are they?" He demanded. I scowled at them.

"I can shadow travel, and I can move the earth." That was all they were gonna get. Maybe if he was a bit nicer he would have included the whole dead people thing.

"What is 'shadow travel'?" Wow. Rude. Came here for help(protection) not an interrogation.

I glared at him. He was unfazed. "Teleporting through shadows." I could see Artemis roll her eyes.

"He's notorious for being difficult, it seems." I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Hey. If I hadn't been there you guys would have either been killed or chased all around town." I pointed an accusatory finger at her for emphasis.

"Enough. What attacked you?" The dark knight demanded.

"Skeleton warriors. Grown from... a special kind of teeth. Weird shit. Once they get a scent, they never lose it. Pretty much immortal. After you bring them down, they just reform. Annoying more than anything."

"How do you know all this?"

"My cousin and... a few... other people... were being chased by them." Thinking about that old war brought a bad taste to my mouth. Reminded me of why Luke was able to start a war. All because of those people Dan was helping. Wait... If Dan worked for Triumvirate Holdings, and they got my hair from them.

He asked me something, I ignored it as I thought of this, they repeated, I ignored them, they started to repeat aga-

"Who did you guys piss off in Triumvirate Holdings?" They went silent.

"How did you know about that?" Batman asked (more like growled).

"I'm not stupid. They've been causing havoc for my... family... for years." Connor gave an angry huff as he walked closer.

"Enough with all these pauses. Just tell us the truth."

"I have told you guys the truth."

"No, you're not! Stop lying!" I glared at him.

"I'm not lying about anything." He groaned, storming off into the other room.

This was getting annoying.

"Ok. I have a proposal for you guys. I stay here, and protect you when they show up-which I guarantee they will-and make sure you guys don't get yourselves killed, or I can leave, and you guys can either get killed or run around for a very long time, wondering who it was that sent them. Now, do you guys want to keep asking me questions or leave me here so I can plan a counterattack for those monsters?" I took a breath, holding my hands out, lowering and raising them as I laid out the options. I raised my eyebrows, waiting for an answer.
