Little White Lies

Ch.6

Nightwing stood in front of her disapprovingly while she sat in a chair in front of him. Everyone was arguing from Blanca to Mazoron to the doctor and her nurses, the alien named Mazoron accused her of war crimes while Blanca tried to defend herself.

"You need arrest this women!" He protested. "She unpredictable!"

"Unpredictable?!" She repeated nearly shouting at him.

"I knew their was something about her that seemed familiar. We need to tighten our security around her Nightwing. She's too dangerous!" Protested the doctor. Nightwing squeezes his temples in annoyance he was beginning to grow a headache.

Mazoron continues, "Doctor Heilty right, she's a killer, a thief! No one can trust her-"

"I don't remember anything of what your saying!"

Everyones bickering was so loud he couldn't even hear himself think and he finally had enough.

"Listen up!" He shouts over everyone. The crowed hushed all eyes were on him.

"Listen I know you're all angry, but being angry isn't going to solve anything. Doctor Heilty," he turned to the women in lab coat, "we don't need to up the security for her I'll look after her, and Mazoron I'm going to request for you to be moved to the first floor. Any objections?"

"Nightwing you can't be serious." Objected the doctor. "She's too dangerous to be keeping in this hospital. I refuse to let my team and I help her any further."

"Doctor Heilty I know your upset but-""

"Upset!? I'm furious that I helped her!"

"Doctor Heilty!" Nightwing raises his voice slightly catching her off guard, "you say she's dangerous so that's why I'm looking after her and you trust that I will be keeping a close eye on her right?"

"Of course I do."

"Good. I've known you along time Doctor Heilty and I trust your judgement but refusing to help someone because of your prejudices goes against everything you've been taught as a doctor. You've never turned your back on anyone here regardless of who they are, criminal or not. And that goes for all of you, each and everyone of you swore an oath to help anyone and everyone, regardless of who they are."

Mazoron breathed a laugh but no one spoke up. Doctor Heilty turns on her heels without looking at him she says, "she has one slip up Nightwing, if I feel that she's too dangerous to be here I'll sending her off to Arkham." Then left the room.

As the room cleared Nightwing approached Blanca. "Thanks for that." Blanca mumbles.

Nightwing folded his arms unamusingly. "Blanca what happened? Why did you leave?"

She furrowed her brows, "I had too and it's not like you gave me a choice. You left me handcuffed to my bed!"

"I left you there so you wouldn't do what you're doing. Why are they calling you dangerous?"

"How should I know!" Blanca tossed her hands in the air. "I just wanted to ask him a few questions."

"Look it doesn't matter right now, what you need to do is keep a low profile, heal up and let me handle the investigation."
