Tears to a better life

Chapter Seventeen

~W.W.~

It's been two months since Percy was attacked. And she's changed. It's not very noticeable, but something inside has changed. She's not the kind sarcastic person anymore, she's the down right bitchy sarcastic. But the weird thing is, that some days, she completely fine.

" She's changed, hasn't she?" I ask.

Percy just stormed through the room, and when I asked her if she was proud that I beat Dicks record she sneered and replied with, " I don't think there's a person on this planet that's proud of you."

The continued on her storming path.

" I worry about her. Maybe she finally broke after what that bastard, Psychotic, showed her." Dick spat out.

" I don't think that's it." I said, rubbing the back of my neck.

Yeah, I guess I do-did, like her. But I don't know if she's the same person. She was kind and caring, but the keyword in that sentence: was. It made me sad when I thought about how much she's changed.

I was running full speed at Klarion, trying to get a good punch in. He lifted his arms up, said some crazy spells, (that won't work) and slammed his arms down. A wave of purple shot out, knocking me and the team off their feet. Before disappearing, Klarion shouted, " Have fun with that!"

I rubbed my head, " What was that all about?"

Nightwing groaned, " nu am nici o idee." (I have no idea.)

Percy glared at him, but in her old, before Psychotic changed her, " Δεν ξέρουμε τι λέτε, ανόητο" ( No one can understand you, stupid."

M'gann gasped and said something, not even close to an Earth language. Then Kaldur, calm as always, said something Atlantan. Percy smacked her forehead, " Ναι, όχι!" ( Yeah, no duh!)

" Wait, you can understand him?" Artemis asked.

Orca replied with a nod. " Well, that's not completely useless, but where did Klarion go?"

" I have no idea. But let's just head back to the cave and try to figure it out." I suggest.

The ride was silent, besides Percy letting out a few words when thunder rumbled. I'm ninety percent sure they were cuss words. When the ship landed, Percy was the first one off, tripping over herself to get there. Then we all got off Kaldur was rambling off but no one but Perch understood.

We all sat on the couch, then Percy sprang up, " Το πιασα!" ( I got it!)

She ran to the sink and turned it on, covering half of the facet with her thumb. Artemis, Conner and I followed her, not getting the attention of Megan, Nightwing, nor Kaldur.

" What are you doing?" Artemis asked, " Your getting water everywhere."

" Λαμβάνω βοήθεια." ( Getting help.) Orca said whole fishing around in her pocket. Her eyes lit up behind her mask as she took out what she found.

" A coin?" I asked, " I'm not even sure what language your speaking, how is a coin going to help."

She rolled her eyes, " Απλά κοίτα." ( Just Watch.)

As she threw the coin into the mist, " Ω, Fleecy, κάνε με ένα στερεό. Δείξε μου, Hazel Levesque. " ( Oh, Fleecy, do me a solid. Show me, Hazel Levesque."

" Hazel Levesque? Fleecy? Who are these people-"

" And what are you doing." Artemis cut Conner off.
