Chapter 27

"Everyone knows that Riddle man." Kayla said as she pressed up against my back.

"Now should I feel insulted?"

"I don't know Riddler, what do you want?" I asked him.

"Answer my Riddle and I will leave your show alone."

"What riddle do you have for us?" I asked him.

"You missed a bat." He said calmly.

"Skybat or SuperBat?" I asked him.

"Oh, you know the ones I was thinking of." He said.

"Sky bat is retired." I remind him.

"But then what of Superbat?" He asked me.

"How often do you see superbat with anyone other than SuperMan or Superwoman? I am working on a song for them ."

"Even though they seem to be dating."

"Who?" I asked him...

"Our dear Bats and Superman."

It took everything I had not to laugh at. "Who's fanfic are you reading?" I asked him.

"Ohh I like you but still Skybat was always around why did you forget her?" He asked us.

"Why do you care Riddler?" I asked him.

"Ah no deflecting." He said as the curtain fell.

"Mics are off." Alister said I pulled the headpiece off my head and dropped it to my left as I walked towards his voice.

"Why wasn't Skybat in the thing? Simple." I said. "Because I didn't want her in it. Sky and Superbat along with Dazzle are their own thing." I tell him. "They are a power to themselves and as such should be honored as such."

"How odd of you." he said from my right and I stopped and turned to him.

"We have answered your questions dear riddler."

"Oh but little sky have you really?" He asked me. I tensed up as I looked at him. "Excuse me?" I asked him.

"The purple sky stands clocked in shadow's and mystery. How can one who lives in darkness be the purple sky?" He asked before a loud thud was heard.

"You're Annoying." Alister said.

"Agreed." Dora sighed.

"I see I was not needed." Dad said.

"Not really, I make a great distraction." I smiled.

"She does and Alister has a mean right hook." Ruma said softly.

"Thanks!" I giggled as I sighed and relaxed back against Kayla.

"Okay, so cops should be here soon." I said as I listened.

"Well, that ends up showing a couple of songs early." I sighed.

"It's okay I am sure your Papa is ready to blow a gasket with what he saw." Kayla said as she runs her hands along my arms.

"That is an understatement." I hear Dad mutter as the cops came up to us.

"Well, this looks odd." I hear. I laughed.

"Hey, Commissioner!" I said with a smile.

"How? You know what, I don't want to know how you knew it was me." He sighed.

"Sorry." I said with a small smile.

"Why are you apologizing?" He asked me. "Your blind I am glad you can recognize save and not save voices Miss Lara."

"Thank you, sir." I said with a smile.

"I love you." Kayla whispered to me.

After he was removed from the stanged

"I love you too." I tell her once the cops left and we gave our statements we were heading back to the changing room when I hear a groan

"Can you let us change before you start in?" Dora said as RUma's arm wraps around me. The door shut behind me and I sighed as I pulled my tank top off.

"I swear." I grumbled.

"I want to laugh but even my Dads were not this overprotective," Dora said. "And I had an all-powerful being after my ass." I sighed as I pulled my shirt back on, changed into my jeans, and washed my face.

"Are we ready for the storm?" Kayla asked.

"Sure." I said sitting in my chair.

"Come on in." Dora said. "Can we not break anything."

"I love you, Papa." I started off as the door closes. "But you are not locking me into the house because a villain showed up."

"You… I handled the first song. The second one was not so bad outside the fire."

"Like I would let my fire hurt her." Ruma snapped at him.

"But the third song, what the hell were you thinking?" He snapped at me. "Flying like that is dangerous in a live show.

"We were all wearing wires." I tell him.

I rolled my eyes. "We have safety harnesses on while performing and the lines are made out of a material that is all but transparent in the light."

"And you know this, how you can not see!" Papa snarls at him.

"Why does it always come back to that?" I asked him.

"Come back to what?" He all but yells.

"The fact I am blind." I spat at him. "If I wasn't blind you wouldn't have an issue with anything I do."

"That is not true. I would still dislike the fact that your friends here know who we are." He hisses at me. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't lock you into the Manor."

"Well good luck with that Papa." I smiled and I leaned forward.

"Why is that?"

"I will say no." Dad said.

"You agree with what she does?" He asked him.

"Did you ever stop and think that I don't but I trust our daughter to know what the hell she is doing?" Dad snaps back at him.

"It was a great show." Dick said as he patted my shoulder. "Dad was tearing up on the Darkness song."

"I wrote that a while ago." I said.

"And there was a fight when we would do it." Dora laughed.

"I am not done yelling." Papa said and I sighed.

"Well, you can keep yelling." I tell him as I spin in my chair and grab my sneakers and bag. "But I could really use something to drink and food." I tell him.

"Hey girls!" I hear as the door slams open.

"Koi!" I said with a smile.

"Hey, Smartass." Kayla said.

"Oh see if I give you your coffee." He huffs.

"Okay let me make the room bigger." Ruma said and then I felt her magic press against my skin and I shivered.

"Your magic is cold today." I tilted my head.

"Sorry." She said as a cup was put in my hand.

"Hot chocolate for the coffee addict." Koi said.

"Thanks, Koi." I said sipping my drink. I listen to the heartbeats in the room. One of them had what sounded like 2 heartbeats in one chest.

"Great so what is going on?" Nik said as Lera's arm wrapped around my shoulder.

"Hey honey you okay?" She asked me.

"Hungry." I grumbled.

"That was spectacular!" One of the voices I do not know spoke up.

"Thank you, Uncle." Ruma and Dora said.

"I must agree." The rumbled voice said and I tilted my head because I know I have heard it before but where????

"Thank you, cousin." Ruma said.

"Clark let it be for now and let go get some f…" The door slammed back open.

"I swear those guys were idiots." Percy said.

"Hey, Love." Ruma said.

"Sorry about that handsome I didn't mean to leave you with them." Koi said as a burger was put in my hand.

"Thank you." I said.

"No problem we got a bunch of burgers so everyone grabbed some and I put your bag on your area." Lera said.

Another wave of magic filled the room. "Dora?" I asked as her magic bounced around my skin.

"Relax you know I would not hurt you." She tells me.

"I know but your magic is aggressive today." I said.

"Yea I know." She sighed as I took a bite of my burger.

"What are these?" The girl's uncle asked.

"Fast food." Koi answered as I ate my food.

"It's a burger they are greasy and good when you're in need of a good hunk of calories." Lera said.

"If you don't like them that's fine we can get you something else this is just an after-show snack." Dora tell him

"You call this much food a snack?" Dami asked.

"We have extra people here with a large appetite and you know your sister can and does eat 20 to get full." Percy said as I dug into my fries.

"Fuck you, Percy." I said once my mouth was cleared.

"It's true though you and I know it."

"Shut your trap seaweed brain!" I snapped at him.

"Oi!" He snapped back at me.

"Son of Posiden." I shot at him.

"Daughter of kypotion."

"Salt for brains."

"Egghead." I bit into a fry.

"Better an egg head than a dumbass."

"Better a dumbass then." Someone shut him up.

"Alright enough insults and eat." Nik sighed.

"Yea yea." I smiled and eat my food.

"Besides you know insulting her sexuality insults so many of us in this room." Ruma hisses.

I laughed around my fries. "You know I am joking, love." He huffs.

"We know but our guests do not." Dora answered.
