Are you afraid now? ( under revision )

7. Mutant

Walking to Atlanta wasn't easy, but after a while Conner and Laura jumped on a freight train as if they were law-abiding or illegal immigrants, fleeing to Atlanta.

As soon as they got there Conner gave Dick a sign of life, he explained that he was a trusted friend, yet Laura was still distrustful, so they used a public phone which was quite difficult to find but they found. Conner called Dick's cell phone and waited until he heard Dick's voice on the other end of the line.

"Who is it?"- Dick asked

"It's Conner."- Conner said

"Conner !!! Where are you!?! "- Dick

"Shhhhh, don't talk that loud." - Conner

"Yeah, where are you?" - Dick

"I can't tell you now, but I know you'll find out in a little while." - Conner

"Conner I need to tell you, while you were out, we got a vortex being opened from another dimension and we thought maybe something bad came out of it ..." - Dick

Dick continued to speak but by the time Conner's head had come to what Laura had told him, she had come in a from a vortex, she was from another dimension, so he wondered if he should tell Dick about Laura, he decided to do so.

"I think I'm with the subject." - Conner

"What do you mean?" - Dick

"I have the subject that came out of the vortex." - Conner said

" What !?! "- Dick

"Shhh." - Conner

"What's that, Con? " - Dick whispered

"She isn't hostile to us, but she has advanced training and really strange powers. I haven't seen much of her in action, but from what I could see, she is skilled." - Conner

"She?" - Dick

"She's a girl ... about my age." - Conner

"Oh, you think I should tell Batman." - Dick

" Are you done ?" - Laura pegged closer

"No." - Conner responded swiftly

"Okay, on this pace we will get to Washington is about a month. " - Laura

"Wait, just a second." - Conner

"Okay." - Laura said moving away from Conner

He didn't know but she hates to hear his conversation. But for some reason, she decided not to listen. Turning their concentration back to the sounds that came from the street, next to the alley where they found themselves, the cars driving, the people walking and talking, something characteristic of a bustling city.

She knew that she knew all of that, bustling cities, people hunting her down. That was what she knew, maybe this dimension wasn't that different from hers, she thought to herself, she knew places like Gotham, dark and full of scum, that was familiar to her.

 But people like Conner, he trusted her without even blinking an eye. Maybe it was because he sympathizes with her situation, but Laura knew as soon as they meet, that he hadn't lived like her. He was soft and charing even if he didn't like to admit it.

Maybe sticking with him wouldn't be that bad. But as the thought crossed her mind, she through it to the back of her mind. He was expendable, she was expendable, he could be well off using her to get to a point or something that he wanted. No one was to be trusted. Not even a fellow clone.

"Who was that ?"- Dick

" Nobody. But when I figure something out here ... I'll go home. "- Conner

"Okay." - Dick

Conner hung up the phone, and went to Laura, she turned to him immediately.

" Let's go to the zeta tube. It's not far from here."- Conner said wanting into the street closely followed by Laura

" Goof I thought you were going to do the hole debriefing off your life by that call."- Laura

Dick turned to go to the team meeting room and as soon as the call went silent, he arrived and there were all the teammates discussing where they should start looking for Conner. It had been almost a week since he had disappeared, so that call was like a breeze of fresh air.

"We're going to Washinton."- Dick
