Chapter 18

"Well, sadly I cannot hide in here forever so I will leave you two in here to keep talking and I will go deal with my parents." I said as I stand up and head out of the room just barely missing the table I'm close the door behind me.

"Dare I ask how you ended up getting her here?" Dad asked from the other side of the hallway. I smiled at him.

"I don't know if your pride could handle the answer. I also don't know if Tim's Pride could handle the answer. I tell him as I moved out of the doorway and leaned against the wall. However, if you must know someone has hacked the system. I will laugh if you can find her because you haven't yet. She's been in there for 2 years." The look on his face made me want to laugh but I know better especially considering I should be able to see his face.

"You're telling me you knew of a security breach and didn't say anything?" He asked me.

"DataMaster has been hacked into everything since she got here. hi, sad shrugging. She has no needs nor wants to do anything with that information other than help me what I need to know what the hell's going on with you all." I tell him glaring behind my glasses.

"And yet your friend could be hacked." Papa said.

" I'd like to see them try." I said laughing. "I would love to see somebody go up against dad has different AIs that she has for defense on her systems. Not to mention if they get ahold data herself and they won't be lucky not to have their system hacked be put into a virtual room where they think they're hacking them still but they're not and then she'll just go on her day and leave them there for 12 hours trying to get through the created for them. Not to mention what she do with the information she got off of their hard drives. She was able to hack the cave. And you know how much Tim Prides himself on making sure no one can hack the cave. I watched as their drawers work trying to form words."

"I want to ground you." Dad said calmly.

"Oh come on I didn't find out about this until after she already did it." I tell him.

"That doesn't change the fact you didn't tell us you know you knew." Papa said.

"Oh sure go ahead, blame me. I'm not the one who does the computers. Yes, I knew. Should I have told you no. If I would have told you then you would have tried to figure out a way to keep her out of them. And Data is how I keep tabs on you guys when I don't see you after a few days. No no just no you guys want to go ahead and grab me fine I guess but how about you look in a mirror considering Dad I'm pretty sure you have most everyone's systems hacked and watching in the cave. So how about pot and kettle stop calling each other black. That is beside the point at the moment."

"How is it besides the point?" Dad asks.

"You asked how we got her in here not how someone hacked the cave. Show to answer the question Nicole has access to the Zeta tubes. As for the next question on why she's here. Black Canary's the only therapist I can think of that can handle a dimension-hopping goddess. Other than maybe Harley but I don't think Harley's going to want to talk to her simply because well I think the only reason she talks to Jason is that she doesn't want him killing her puddin."

"And you couldn't just meet Black Canary somewhere else because?" Dad asked.

"Because you're not the only one paranoid." I said looking at him. "Magic has been running from someone who wants her dead for over 900 years and she finally needs it she just talked about it. Not only has she been running but she's lost a lot. Dad takes what you experienced and add the entire Clan to that."

He dropped his head into one of his hands. "Are you telling me she watched her entire family being murdered?"

"What do you think?" I asked him. "These aren't things I can tell you without breaking her confidence. take what I give you and figure it out if you're such a great Detective." I rolled my eyes at that.

"How do you kill a god?" Dad asked.

"I don't know. I didn't ask." I shrugged. "That's not really the kind of thing I asked when trying to deal with a friend who honestly is on the brink of a mental break. And this is coming from me who watches her parents And siblings go through them constantly." I said turning and walking away.

"Sky what the hell are you talking about." Papa asked me.

I stopped and turned back to them. "Oh I don't know, how about Jason's panic attacks and manic breaks. Both Damian and Cass have anxiety. Dick fears he'll never live up to you. Barbara got fucking shot in her own home. Steph has separation anxiety. Luke feels like he owes you. Everyone feels bad when we try and disappoint you. Not to forget we all have PTSD. We are a back clan of broken mentally unstable people so no no I am not about to ask her how to kill her when she's so close to Breaking as is. I'm not going to take the trust she gives me and give you that type of information. If Dora goes off the deep end she knows what will happen. She'll get put back into isolation and that is the last fucking thing she wants. I all but be yell at the end. so why don't you both get off of your fucking high horse and see that other people know what the fuck they're doing? Also, I am not enabled. So Papa stop with the overprotective bit and get your God damn head out of your fucking ass." I do end up yelling that last bit. Yeah, that Could have gone a lot better but honestly, I don't give a rat's ass it felt good.

The door opened up and Dora came out. "Are you okay, sky?" She asked me.

"I am fine to let's get out of here before I decide to not be fine." I said drying her to the Zeta tubes while my Dads just stand there.

"I warned you guys not to Baby her." Black Canary is said to them.

"But she's blind." Papa said.

"Show their blind people doing all sorts of things maybe not here owing. but they dance they sing they can do everything a normal person can maybe just a little differently. So yeah I think she's right you both need to get your heads out of your asses." Was the last comment I chose to Listen to As We Zeta out.
