AN: This chapter is a bit centered around Trish and her relationship with Nerissa. My sister pointed out that usually the best friend is treated like crap in books, and I don't want to do that! I love Trish so she'll be getting some well deserved attention! Do leave a comment, a vote, a recommend, let me know what you think!
Gotham city Saturday afternoon
"You're not leaving any of your hazardous gadgets here are you?"
"Just the one you like, you know if you get lonely without me."
"Your mind is a gutter Harper! Call me when you get to Star City okay?"
"You know you love me!" said Roy hugging Trish from behind.
"I do," she turns and kisses her boyfriend long and hard, "don't be too long."
"I'll be back by Monday, you know I can't live without you anymore. But Dinah called-"
"I know! I love how loyal you are to her! You better stay loyal to me in Seattle!"
"Always baby, always." Roy picked up his bag and went for the door, "you're going to the manor?"
"Yeah, I have a shitload of shit to go over with Alfred for the Gala."
"Look at you, already on a first name basis-"
"Well I did spend last night holding hands with him." she heard Roy laugh.
"He'll keep calling you Miss Somers." he replied impersonating Alfred, "tell Jaybird I'm leaving, and keep the security system on."
"I will tell your mistress, and don't worry."
They left the apartment together and kissed goodbye for the hundredth time before getting in their respective cars.
Trish had a lot to think about, yesterday was long and eventful. She wasn't sure how to approach the Waynes now that she knew their secret, it wasn't just any secret, they're the fucking Bat-family, and if this weren't enough, her best friend is a witch who died and came back to life.
Trish is a smart and logical person, she accepted the unusual because nothing seemed to be unusual in this world, aliens, gods, speedsters, so maybe witchcraft and resurrection aren't so unrealistic. Nerissa never lied to her, she hid this from her but it's understandable that she did, the British guy showed out of nowhere, a tree man appeared from the grass, it's all just so weird. She knew it was real, she remembered the vines around Nerissa's wrists, she remembered something keeping Andrew on the ground, and yesterday she met the thing that made it all possible.
The more she thought about it the more sense it made. She took a right turn and decided to go to hers and Nerissa's favorite spot in the city; the park behind their old high school. It was as empty as always, she walked around for a bit, she sat down next to the giant Pine tree where they made their friendship vow and where they took important decisions, things seemed easier back then. She took a deep breath.
"Hello? Mr. Alec- uhm, Mr. Swamp Thing sir?"
As expected the ground started grumbling and trembling, and the Swamp Thing appeared, she couldn't help but yelp at the sight, he was a scary creature.
"Swamp Thing is enough Trish Somers."
"Right!" Trish tried to be strong but couldn't look directly at him, "sorry, this is just.. too much."
"I understand. You have questions."
"I do." she took another deep breath, "what are you exactly?"
"I was once a man; Alec Holland. I am an elemental creature, I share a connection with the Green, I protect the plant, life of the Earth, so long as the Green lives I can't die."
