Agony Never Looked This Good (Young Justice) [3/3]

In Book Three of the NLTG series, Pyrrha is in protective custody of the Justice League as she heals from Queen Bee's coup and Lex Luthor's betrayal. As time heals her body, the Team--sans Nightwing--try to heal her heart and save their friend from letting her pain consume her.

As all of the lies and secrets surrounding Pyrrha come out, can she find who she truly is before it's too late?

"On the off chance Pyrrha is alive and watching, what would you say to her?"

He thought for a moment and turned to face the camera. A chill came over me as I saw his acid green eyes again.

"If you are lost and feeling alone, Pyrrha, I just want you to know I forgive you. I'm not Lost, Pyrrha, and neither should you be."

I choked back a sob but instead I could hear laughing. It wasn't until I had to breathe that I realized it was me. Laughing like a maniac, like the villain I was, laughing in a room full of heroes who had heard their own nemeses laugh in a similar way.

The screen turned off and I stopped my psychotic breakdown to turn and see Kaldur holding the remote. His light green eyes blazed as they challenged me to turn him to ash. I walked to him, glowing a deep, angry red, until we stood toe to toe but he didn't back down.

"Stop. Protecting. Me."

"From who," he growled. "I don't know if I should protect you from him--or yourself."
