Chapter 7

"She gave him a way to kill her?" Dad asked.

I smiled at him. "Kayla would rather be dead then have hurt me to the point that he would be killing her." I smiled and leaned against Jason.

"It sounds like you and I found keepers." He laughed.

"Dami." I said, pulling out the knife.

"What's this?" He asked.

"This is what is called a sun blade." I said "If Zane hurts our big brother this is what you want."

"How do you have that?" Jason asked me.

"Because I love Zane he's a good friend however if he hurts you Jason I'm going to kick his ass. I told him that." I answered him.

"I see. So you give it to the assassin."

"Would you rather I give it to Cass?" I asked him

"No." He said

"Cass Steph can you help me pack for the week?" I asked them.

"Sure." Steph said as someone grabbed my hand.

"So." Cass said softly.

"What?" I asked.

"Why didn't you tell us or even Barb?" Steph asked.

"Because I didn't want Pa to know." I said.

"I would have thought it was Dad you wouldn't want to know." Cause said.

"Dad will listen." I said. "Pa won't." I sighed.

"You know that is so backwards to what you would think." Steph said. I laughed and shook my head.

"At least they will listen to Alfred." Cass said.

"True. Pa and Dad are scared of Grandpa." I laughed as I sat on my bed.

"So how far have you two gone?" Steph asked me.

I blinked "What no no we are not talking about this while Pa is in the house and we have not been past kissing and holding hands."

"Aww that sad." Steph said.

"Steph." I said. "Between her culture and Pa I didn't think it would be past anything else." I sighed.

"What does sex in her calture mean?" She asked me.

"It's meant for mates and mates alone." I said. "If you would pack me 9 pairs of pants shirts and under garmand."

"Well that sucks." Steph said.

"What outfits do you want?" Cass asked.

"Anything that can handle Jason's apartment." I laughed.

"True." Cass said. "His apartment is a bit dangerous."

"That is not true." Jason said as he opened my door. I laughed as I sat up.

"Your apartment has at least three guns in every room, a bazooka in your kitchen, a rocket launcher next to your bed." Cass started.

"Okay okay." He sighed and I smiled as they laughed as I hummed softly.

"What are you humming?" Cass asked as my bed dropped next to me.

"The new song we are working on." I said.

"Can we hear it please." Steph said.

"No." I groaned.

"Oh come on." Jason said.

"No." I huffed at him.

"Here." A bag was dropped onto my lap.

"Thanks Steph." I said smiling up.

"Your welcome batling." She said I grinned.

"Hey Bixbe can you play the instrumentals of Toss a coin to your witcher metal verson." I called out.

"Now playing." She said.

I started singing as the music played. "When a humble bard

Graced a ride along

With Geralt of Rivia

Along came this song

From when the White Wolf fought

A silver-tongued devil

His army of elves

At his hooves did they revel

They came after me

With masterful deceit

Broke down my lute

And they kicked in my teeth

While the devil's horns

Minced our tender meat

And so cried the Witcher

He can't be bleat

Toss a coin to your Witcher

O' Valley of Plenty

O' Valley of Plenty, oh

Toss a coin to Your Witcher

O' Valley of Plenty"

"Will you shut up!" It makes me stop singing. "I can't hear myself think!" Martha yells.

"Martha stop yelling throughout the house!" I hear Dad yell back.

"Lovely." I rolled my eyes as I get up and head back to the living room.

"Welcome back." Pa said softly as we entered.

"Thanks." I said as I sit in my spot.

"Well you said that you aced your exams." Dad said after a few minutes of silence.

"I did." I agree with him.

"That is great." Dad said.

"Thank you." I said softly.

"Where does your girlfriend go to school?" Dami asked.

I rolled my eyes. "She goes to Gotham public." I laughed.

"That's…" Dami started.

"Let's not go there." I said rolling my eyes.

"I just."

"No." I say again.

"You said you're in a quartet." Pa said.

"Yes." I said with a smile.

"Tell us about your friends?" He asked.

"Well in the quartet there's Me, Kayla, Ruma, and Nymphadora.Then we have our tech/choreographer Nicole and her boyfriend Alister works as our manager. Then there's ruma's twin Finn, then you have her little collection Kol, Niklaus, Eva, Percy, Nico, and Thalia. Then you have Dora's duo Micheal and Lucifer."

"Some named their kid Lucifer?" Neal asked me.

"Yes, someone named their kid Lucifer." I rolled my eyes. "Then Nicole shes a mad wis when it comes to robotics though I think that might have something to do with her father implanting a usb and a get different computer chips in her head." I sighed. "Then there is Alister." I shivered. "Be glad Alister is with Nicole and is good."

"Why?" Dad asked me.

"Who said any of them were human?" I asked him. "Outside Nicole none of them are human. Alister is probably the most dangerous one since Dora and Ruma are directly involved and can't intervene with situations like we would."

"Why?" Dick asked.

"You know the counsels of order and chosa?" I asked them.

"Yes?" Dad said with a sigh.

"The magic they pull is part of the well of magic that Ruma controls. Ruma and Dora are neutral parties in the world much like death. Alister though he is not neutral that demon would kill everything if not for Nicole."

"Did you just say demon?" Dad asked me.

"Wait if they are not human… is Lucifer the actual Lucifer?" Tim asked.

"I was wondering if someone would ask that." I laughed. "But that is not my tale to tell." I smile at him.

He snorted. "Well what are Dora and Ruma?" He asked me.

I leaned back looking into the darkness in front of me. "Not a threat to this city." I said calmly. "That is enough I think if they want to tell you what they are that is up to them." I sighed.

"I am not sure how I feel about you hanging out with a demon and the possible devil." Pa said.

I broke the handle of the chair as I glared towards him. "I have known them for years Father." I spat the last word out. "I don't need you to protect me from my friends." I snarled at him as I pushed myself up and headed for the door.

"Clark." I hear Dad groan as I may have slammed the front door behind me.

"Bixbe call Dora." I said as I walked down the driveway.

"Hey Hun what's up?" She asked as she answered the phone.

"I want to shot my Pa!" I snap as I lean against the wall.

"I can help with that if you want." SHe offers.

"I want to say yes but dear Roi Dora he can't make me feel any less useless then Martha does." I snarled.

"Do you want me to send Lucifer to come get you?" She asked me.

"No Kayla will be here in a few hours for dinner then I am staying at Jason's for the next week."

"Sister finally got grounded for her attitude?" She asked me.

"Yes." I huffed.

"Good. Next time she says something I am sure I cam make a living nightmare or something." She said.

"And here I thought you couldn't intervene." I laughed.

"Oh please I may not be able to intervene on large scale things but this protects someone I have come to see as a sister? Not a chance could my teacher stop me from intervening."

"So we are your exceptions?" I asked her.

"No shit. I think Ruma would bring the full power too if anything happened to you guys." I smile at that.

"At least I know someone cares." I said.

"Oh you have plenty of people who care about you Lara but some just show it in the wrong way." She reminds me.

"Yea I know it just sucks all the people I thought were my friends when I was Skybat haven't contacted me in forever." I sighed as I opened and walked out of the gate.

"I understand that little one." She said. "How is your song coming."

"It's good I almost have it down but I keep getting yelled at by Martha when I try to sing." I sighed.

She hissed. "I can make your room soundproof if you want."

"I do not think my parents want my room sound proofed since they now know I have a girlfriend but I am sure they would not mind setting up a music room for us."

"That would work." She said with a sigh. "By the ancients Lara you scared us today when your brother jumped on your back."

"I'm fine Dora." I tell her
