In one rapid movement Robin deflected the bird-a-rang, his blue eyes focused on his sister’s. His face contorted in anger, Delta’s eyes widened in fear, she could picture the manic smile and blood smear as he gouged her arms. In a rapid flurry of movements, Delta and Robin were rolling around on the ground, punching and kicking every inch of skin on the other’s bodies.
“STOP!!!” A voice screeched but the other two paid no mind and continued their fist fight, before they were both flung into the walls, sa pamamagitan ng an angry Superboy. Kaldur shakily got up.
“Team, report, any injuries?” Artemis had a few scrapes from her own fingernails, and of course Delta and Robin had several bruises and they both spat blood.
“Nothing major.” Miss Martian sinabi softly, Delta rolled her eyes thinking. ‘Speak for yourself’ as she coughed up some madami blood. Delta scanned the team again, Fin was staring at the ground, Ash hadn't moved from her nakaraan position, and Robin was leaning on the wall, giving apologetic glances to his little sister.
“What happened.” Fin muttered to no one in particular. No one made any ilipat to answer the golden tanong though.
“Just like Bialya.” Kid Flash murmured
“‘Cept worse.” Ash added gesturing to the walls and cameras. In a fit of rage Fin lept up and blasted the cameras...to no avail, they still hung in the same position as before. She placed her head in her hands and collapsed against the pader once more, sliding back into her nakaraan adjustment. “This is hell,” came her muffled voice, and Delta silently agreed.
Wiping the wetness from her cheeks, Fin looked up again. “Did everyone see...?” She trailed off, giving a couple of glances to the other members of the team. “Fears,” came Superboy’s angry reply. “I saw something... that I feared.”
Fin only hugged herself tighter, grasping her legs closer as if they were the only things keeping her linked to this world. “I don’t want to ever do that again,” she heard someone mutter, and in her mind she was yelling ‘me neither.’ But now she just couldn’t find her voice, and something was telling her that it wasn’t over just yet.
A slight ruffle of fabric alerted her to a person placing themselves adjacent to her spot, but she kept her eyes focused on the opposite wall. “Hey,” came her sister’s quiet breath. “For horses,” she whispered back, earning a half-hearted chuckle from Delta, but it dwindled down soon. “Are you alright? You’re never this quiet, not even when Scarecrow is the pinagmulan of trouble.”
A up and down movement of her shoulders, Fin didn’t ilipat otherwise. She had a small want to take off her mask, but she didn’t want to let go of herself, so she didn’t. Delta placed a hand on her shoulder, and was half-shocked to find that her sister’s skin was colder than she last remembered it. “What did you see? You don’t have to tell me, but--”
“You.. and Dick.. everyone, really.” Fin’s voice had become even quieter, which most wouldn’t think possible, and the emotions she usually concealed were extremely easy to hear. She wasn’t exactly ‘Fin’ right now. She was a young girl once again, the Kyra she’d left behind four years ago. “It was just a huge bloodbath. I was stuck in the middle of it all, you know? As hard as I tried, none of you would stop. You were all just killing each other, and I couldn’t do anything. I hate that, I hate it, and it’s not helpful, because I’m not sure which one I’m madami afraid of-- you guys hating each other, or me not having any say in anything. Being no one, just a placeholder...” She began to choke and tears were pricking at the corner of her eyes, so she hid her face in her knees, hoping to block it all out. Delta came closer and placed an arm over her shoulders, internally worried at how vulnerable her sister was at the moment. She glanced back over at Robin for a second, but was brought back to Kyra as she began to speak again.
“And then I wake up, and you and Dick are fighting... and just like before, I couldn’t stop you.” It suddenly occurred to Delta that it was Fin who had shouted at them to stop before, and they’d ignored it. Guilt washed over her mind, and she pulled Kyra closer, for some reason feeling like an older sister instead of a younger one.
“I’m so sorry...” Delta choked out. Suddenly she too felt arms around her small figure, Delta looked up from Kyra to see Robin holding her as well. The three siblings sat in there small circle, defending each other from the cold white walls.
“Delly...I’m sorry...I just..” Robin looked down tears falling from his eyes, his mask was long discarded.
“I’m sorry too.....” Dana sinabi looking down ashamed. Kyra looked at her siblings, looking at their tear filled eyes.
“What did...you know..” Kyra sinabi the words slipping out. Dana looked up, fear and pain were evident in her bright blue eyes.
“You two....Bruce too....you were..hurting..me...” Dick and Kyra blinked at Dana, they expected anything..just not that.
“You..k-kept saying..t-that I was..useless....that I..didn't deserve to live..” Delta sinabi tears now falling freely. Dick tightened his grip on his little sister as she sobbed into his shirt. Kyra bit her lip and held Dick and Dana tightly.
“......I had to kill myself...it hurt to much.” Dana sinabi words barely a whisper. Kyra’s blood ran cold at her words how distant and painful her voice sounded, and Richard’s face went white. He grabbed Dana sa pamamagitan ng the shoulders and looked her in the eyes.
“Dana, you know that would never happen. We would never do anything to hurt you. Alright?” He sinabi his voice somehow demanding yet calming. Dana nodded and the three siblings went into a tight hug, as if they never wanted to let go.
The other Young Justice members looked at the siblings and smiled at the sight.
“Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.” Kid Flash sinabi interrupting the moment “That’s cute..awww and all that but seriously how did we get here!?”
