Are you afraid now? ( under revision )

1. So Lonely

Waking up, not knowing where you are or why you're there, it's a horrible feeling, when you can not breathe it's worse, it's been a while since Laura did not open her eyes, she could not remember the last time she'd done it.

She remembered her last trip, she was in Pequin, there were rumors that an Hydra cell was resurfacing, she went there to "find out" the location, she was already 18, and her whole life had been paved by a path of blood.

It was clear that her life was to sum up to that, after Logan's death, what else could she do ... he had asked her to be better than the two of them, but the only problem was that she didn't know how.

Then being a machine of destruction and caos was just about everything she identified with, she had it inside her brain, but always after she'd wiped out Hydra's agents she clung to that dogtag.

That same dogtag that her father Logan had given her, before dying in that forest, years before, she had made him a promise, which so far wasn't going very well.

She entered the barracks where the Hydra agents were supposed to be, she thought it would be just another little mission, and the next thing she remembered was, to see a vortex. And be swayed by it.

And now where was she? Touching herself on her knees and hands staring at the floor ... but she wasn't alone, she immediately stood up and didn't see the face of the person who had made the mistake of releasing her.

She pulled him by the arm and practically climbed his cochle, curling his arm into hers, and placing her hand in front of the boy's face, she looked at him.

He seemed to be surprised that she had reacted so quickly, he had blue eyes, and black hair as night, he was relatively tall, much taller than Laura anyways .

" Who are you  ? And where am I? "- Laura asked

"I'm ..." - He started to say but then the two Hydra guards enter the room

Before the boy was able to understand anything, Laura threw him to the ground and then killed the two guards who tried to stop her with two machine guns, not counting on his healing factor.

She saw the dead bodies bleeding on the ground, and then she saw the boy standing there and staring at the bleeding bodies engulfed in a pool of his red blood.

"Are you afraid to know ?" - Laura asked

The boy dared not respond, but she had already realized he wasn't one of them.

"You . Aren't you with them?" - Laura asked

"No, I was here investigating a clue, and I found you." - He said

" I will going to get out of here . Are you coming? "- Laura asked going out of the room being followed by the boy

"What's the plan?" - He asked

"I'll make my way and you'll bend over." - Laura

"Your Gonna open the way as you just did back there , the way you opened it?" - He asked

"Exactly." -Laura

" can I propose a less bloody approach ." - He said

The boy pointed to the window, which showed a river next to the laboratory, she realized what he wanted to do if they jumped out of the window they would fall into the river. And the guards wouldn't follow them with the dogs.

"It's a good idea." - Laura said

Laura took off her claws and then cut a piece of the window that fell into the river, the two just looked down.

"You first." - Laura

The boy took some distance and then jumped, Laura turned to the door of the corridor she heard the steppes probably form people that came to kill her, but then as soon as they became louder, she jumped.

The cold water of that river engulfed her, it was at that moment that she discovered that she couldn't swim, the cold water seemed to bring her down. When she felt an arm carrying her up.

The boy who had suggested she jumped from the window helped her to swim across the river and shortly after, she ran out into the woods, she heard the boy coming after her, so she stopped and waited for him to arrive.

"What the hell is it?" - She said sarcastically

"You run faster the more you know." - He said

"By the way, what's your name?"- She asked

"Superboy." - He said

"Really?" - She asked

" And you ?"- He asked

"Your really not giving me your real name ? "- She asked

"And what's your name anyways ?" - He asked

"It's none of your business, your mother never taught you not to tell your name to strangers."- She said and kept walking

The silence prevailed between them until they reached a road, it was very busy and it had a convenience store across the street, Superboy bowed.

"What are we going to do?" - Superboy

"Walk to the other side." - Laura

"Wait." - Superboy said

She crossed the avenue and then entered the convenience store, she entered the store, looked at the fat man at the counter a red neck, she went into the store after something to eat, hunger was calling her.

Then she heard the bell at the door of the shop ringing again, and the boy's voice, Laura saw him go to the counter where the red neck was and asked:

"You saw a young lady ..." - But his voice was buzzing

Laura looked sideways and saw a man putting a gun on the boy's head, so she was slowly reaching behind the back of the robber, and when he least expected she attacked him. She threw the thief on the ground, and gave him a kick in his face, she went to the counter leaned and told the seller:

"Two bus tickets ... what is the nearest town?" - Laura

"Gotham miss." - The old man said

"Two bus  tickets for Gothan." - Laura said
