I stomped into the hotel. I walked to the desk and the lady automatically gave me the key.

"Thank you. Give this key to the other girl with Richard Grayson." I said nicely

I went to the room. Slammed the door closed and laid down.

The mention of my father. I've tried hard to pushed that man out my life. I killed him because he was terrible man but I miss him so much. I heard the door creak open and soon close again. My bed dipped meaning someone was sitting on it.

"You should've punched her." A voice said

Ali.

"I guess." I answered

"Guess I never noticed how much your father's death effected you." Ali said

I stayed silent.

"Its not like we had a choice." I said finally.

"But he was your father. No one should be put through having to kill their father." Ali says

I nod.

"What was he like before he was president?" Ali asked suddenly.

I look at her. My father was the nicest man ever before his presidency.

"He was amazing." I say quietly,"When I was little he would take me out for ice cream everyday and always let me ride on his shoulders. I always wanted a relationship like his and mom's when I little. They were high school sweethearts. My dad was what every kid wanted in their dad before he became president."

I felt tears priming my eyes. I missed my old dad.

"Sorry I brought it up." Ali says.

"Don't worry about it." I said finally turning to look at her

I moved myself up and sat next to Ali. We sat in silence until she broke it.

"You almost had it." Ali said

"Had what?"

"That relationship like your dad and mom." She answered

I realized she right. If Wally hadn't died and everything had gone right I would probably be going to college and soon after marrying Wally. I would've had the dream I've been dreaming about for years.

"Yeah I would've. But still have it kinda." I said

Ali looked at me confused.

"You and Roy and Zoey and Dick. If I can't have it then it would be nice to see my friends have it." I said

Ali smiled and nodded. She grabbed the remote and turned on the tv.

"Are you coming back to team?" I asked

Ali shook her head.

"I don't know."

"Think it over." I said

There soon an knock on the door. Ali and me looked at each other confused. Its 12 in the morning, who would be knocking?

I went to the door with Ali right behind me. I opened up the door and an limp body fell against me. Bruises covered the person's body and blood trickled from their head down their forehead. I lifted the person so could see their face.

I gasped at the recognition of the face and so did Ali.

"Kat? What happened?" I yelled frantically

Wally POV-

I have to get out of here. I stood up with an book bag full of essential things. Speed appeared next to me.
