Chapter 11

Apologies

My sheets feel warm as I open my eyes to the morning sun. the numbness in my hand spreads as I sleep on my left side with my arm trapped under my pillow. I smile as the warm sun heats up my skin. I opened my eyes seeing that last night was not a dream. I see the two holes from his fists, still broken into the drywall of my walls. I sigh, setting up. My door is now shut and somehow I managed to get to my bed. I don't remember getting off of the floor though. I sigh feeling my nausea on an empty stomach. I groan getting out of bed slowly, trying not to get queasy but it doesn't work and my head dives in the toilet bowl for my morning appointment.

Will this stupid morning sickness ever get better? I feel like I haven't eaten anything since I am constantly throwing it up. FInally finishing, I shower and dress for the day. Brushing my teeth I feel almost like a normal person but the morning sickness still lingers. Slipping on my tennis shoes I walk down to the main room to be met by everyone huddled around the computers and screens, mapping and planning. A light smile plays on my face as I feel the nostalgia of our former years. I walk into the area noticing Nightwing dressed in full gear with an angry glare on his face.

"Whats going on?" I interrupt their meeting.

"We're pla-" Beastboy gets cut off suddenly by Nightwings angry voice.

"Nothing that concerns you." he jots on a piece of paper. Everyone in the group looks at one another in confusion.

"Yeah, I deserve that." I sigh, "Can we talk?"

"I'll get in touch with you in a few days. Kori is taking you home." he states.

"Excuse me?" I look in shock. "You're sending me home?"

"That's where you wanted to go before, why stop you?"

"Hey, lets not do this here" Cyborg chimes in.

"If Bee was pregnant with your child and was attacked and then lied about the attacker, how would you feel?" he snarls

"Upset, but worried about her and the child."

"Exactly" he doesn't look at me

"So treating me like shit is how you care?" I chime in.

"No getting you out of the danger zone is what I am showing that I care"

"Why couldn't I have just died in that explosion" I walk away even after everyone pleads me not to say that. I go back into my room, Grabbing the items that survived my crash and placing it in the tote bag Star got me. I quickly call a cab to the airport and I'm heading out the door. When I open the door Nightwing is standing outside of the door. He puts his finger up to silence me. He waves at me to follow him. Confused, I do just that. He leads me to the stairs where we venture down. We continue climbing down past the main floor into the old underground pool. He leads me around the now empty pool into a small machine closet.

"Slade is listening everywhere else." He whispers lightly. "Towers been empty for too long, he came in weeks, months, or even years ago and planted devices."

"So what?" I cross my arms still upset.

"Rae, I love you. I was putting on a show." he sighed. "I'm upset but not that upset. Did you call a cab or uber?"

"Wait, what?" I stare in shock. "How did you know?"

"Because I know you Rae." he smiles. "Did you have morning sickness today? I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you. I just went in to put you to bed after I cooled down and noticed a red flashing light under your bed when I went to pick you up."

"Yeah." I smile lightly, "You really hurt my feelings."

"I'm sorry, but it worked" he smiled. "The cab driver is going to be Slade. He thinks we're fighting and he can take you without me even caring but that's not how this is going to work. Let's go through the plan real fast…."
