Part 1: आप Were far Too Young

Everything about him that had once existed, his personality, his emotions, they were gone. He was an empty shell, but और like the devil in human form. And there was one thing he craved for. Revenge. And though Sebastienne doesn’t know him yet he was sure she would bleed for him, she has to. After all, he’s family.

He wants revenge on his brother, who happens to be Sebastienne’s father, for almost leaving him to die. And besides, what better way to get back on the Justice League team that had once came after him, द्वारा having their former friend be the one to kill them? It wouldn’t take much to convince the whole team. Even better, having them all kill each other द्वारा persuading them with their own fears.

He know the strings to pull to manipulate Sebastienne in just the right way. But first he had to break her. The girl had a dark side, one that no one know about. But he knew. He knew from the सेकंड that Sebastienne had multiple times killed the assassins that had hurt her father in the past. He knew from the way Sebastienne’s दिल quickened, how her pupils dilated at every shot of the rifle. She was the child that grew up too quickly.

With both hands on her knees and a slouching back, she takes in a deep breath with watery eyes. “I cleaned the house today. It was getting a bit dusty,” Sebastienne fakes a grin then looks down, legs awkwardly dangling from the chair. Hearing the squeak of every swing. “I also cleaned all your cars and guns, and...” from then on she keeps quiet with nothing to do but sit in silence. It was night time and the hospital was awfully vacant.

For months she’s been visiting her father and talking to him about her everyday schedule. It's shameful to be able to heal herself but not being able to properly healing others. Though she can take some of the pain away, it was still useless. And now she has nothing else to say to him.

Though he’s in a coma, she was happy to know he’s सुरक्षित and is still alive. “Connor wants me to tell आप he says hi,” She looks back up at the pale blue eyes, the blue pair that use to be brighter, and smiles, trying to hide the whimper that’s about to escape her throat. No longer able to hold it in, she runs out the room without a word and heads for the girls’ room.

Staring into the reflection and seeing the view of herself crying was a image that she knows her father never wished to see. With a hard पंच at the mirror, it cracks and the surface ripples around her bloody fist. Like a rock being thrown into water, it ripples. She bites her lips trying to choke back the tears but it wouldn’t work, the tears just comes flowing down her face. “Stop crying!” she shouted at herself in disgust.

The moment of crying was over as she finally decides to start heading back to the cave. Her hands did heal and she had to get out of the hospital before someone finds the bloodied and broken mirror. Walking halfway to the door she hears scraping sounds of the wooden door. It was a slow and rough sound, and it was strange. Sebastienne tipped toed to the door and placed her ear on the surface. The door feels hot, as though there's a आग burning behind it. If there was a आग the hospital's आग alarm would've went off. And there's no smoke या crackle of fire. Just the sounds of scraping wood followed द्वारा heavy breathing. She place her hand on the door knob trying to open it. It was an instinct of curiosity. With the turn of the knob she takes a peek of the outside surface of the door. It has four deep, ugly gouges. Almost like they're gouges of nails of an adult. Except it looks bigger than any human hand she's ever seen.
As soon as she came out of the girls' room completely, she sees a man walking down the hall of the empty hospital. She sees him but not his face. Why? Cause he keeps turning corners like they’re in a game of maze and he’s winning. But Sebastienne no longer has time for that. The sudden ring of her phone shook her out of the thoughts, she completely forgot about the mysterious man.

“yeah?” she answered, knowing the call was from Paradox.

“Sebastienne,” her voice was a stutter. “Cadmus. She- she’s hurt.” This worries Sebastienne. The sudden whimper in Paradox’s voice has a distinct fear, it just wasn’t natural.

“Dot? What is it? What happened to Cadmus?”

“Twan- Twan shot her.”
