Heart Attack

Elastic Heart

I was dreaming, this time, within my new dimension. I saw Jason, Tim, and Damian sitting inside a tend along with three females. Al older one who had black hair and red eyes, the blonde they were sent to find, and a white-haired girl. I didn't understand much of the situation, I only stood and watched. 

"So, what's the truth?" asked the blonde. The glares of everyone towards the black-haired woman made me remember Batman.

"You know, it's better when it's hot," said the woman.

"You know you're really obnoxious," said the white-haired girl.

"She is right, and we live with obnoxious brats," said Jason, I could see Damian desperately trying to control his temper. "But, lady, c'mon and spill the tea, and yes, that was a pun, you started it"

I smiled, always the one to make inappropriate jokes at the worst possible times.

"The truth is, the truth is hard to come by," said the woman.

"Color me stoked" muttered Tim, earning snickers from the girls, Damian and Jason.

"We know that, Branwen," said Damian seriously. "History is written by the winners, people only say their perspective. So please, enlighten us with your supposed wisdom."

"You are right. And by now, Qrow has told Ruby and her friends' plenty of stories" said Branwen.

"Stop wasting time already" growled Jason. "Really, we really just came here for one thing lady, and you are making our patience thin. Like, boss babe, seriously, why should we not shoot her in the face?"

"Well, Jay, its 'cause she's my mom and has the information and the way to go to my sister" answered the blonde to Jason. "And, mom, Uncle Qrow hasn't given me a reason to doubt him before."

He is her uncle? So her sister is Ruby. It makes sense! But, why would this woman have a way to get to Ruby? Doesn't Damian also have a way to reach us?

"That doesn't mean those reasons don't exist," answered Branwen. I could see my friends and their companions getting more and more stressed by the minute. "You know, you and your teammates might as well be the poster children of huntsman academies. Your motives vary but you all enrolled for the same reason: to make the world a better place. It's adorable"

It struck a chord for all of us who heard her. I was mainly concerned for Jason, who does think that way when it comes to Batman and his Robins. His frown was evident, I prayed he wouldn't say anything to endanger them. Yet, when Tim took his hand, I knew it would be alright.

"Its what huntsmen and huntresses do" answered the blonde Jason called Boss babe.

"Not all of them" countered Branwen. "Some people are in it for the money and the fame, but there's even more that are in it to grow stronger"

"Those who seek fame through death and war are supreme idiots" interrupted Damian. "But learning to strengthen your abilities is hardly something that should be scoffed at, Branwen. Searching to make the world a better place, as naive as it may be, it also is a great motivation that helps the human race, as I have seen in the past, defeat those creatures that feed of fear and negativity. Or wasn't that the same reason you interrupted the fight caused by your idiotic answers and the kidnapping of Schnee?"

"You do not see to understand boy," said the woman.

"Actually, he does, more than you think," said Tim for the first time. "And from what I gather, you attended Beacon to become stronger, and you chewed more than you could swallow"

"What do they mean mom?" asked boss babe. I was confused as well, I couldn't understand much f this conversation.

"Tell them, for you and I are the same." Said Damian staring right into her soul.
