Chapter 17: Another Half
"So a few things happened to you in that sim. Go ahead." Black Canary sat in the chair in front of me.
This was basically a therapy session, I had to go through a lot of these with her when they first rescued me, I was a bit unstable after all of that. Anxiety, paranoia, panic attacks. Everything was gone after I met Robin.
"Why am I like this," I whispered, "I should have been like the others. Should have thought Artemis was dead, and that everything was real, but I knew it wasn't."
"You're right, you didn't. You stayed strong, you followed your belief and it was right."
"This time, my belief has made me almost hurt the team. It's like a demon taking me over... I saw something that night, in the roof of the Tower of Fate. Something That I didn't tell anyone else about. I didn't even believe it... I saw me, but it wasn't. This me had pure black eyes, no iris, no pupil or white, just black. She was wearing this strange outfit, and she told me to shoot the ice at the team... I knew she was a figment of my imagination, I'm sure of that, I made her appear in my eyes... But why? Why am I like this?"
"The figment of your imagination could have been an easier way to channel your anger, into something that was entirely evil, and that would tell you the wrong thing to do. You're still young (Y/n), you still have to train. You're incredibly powerful, being half Lord of Order, and half something we don't know..." Black Canary trailed off.
"Exactly, I don't even know what I am. I'm dangerous."
"We're all dangerous," Black Canary assured, "What about you and Robin?"
"What about us?" I asked quietly.
"You two kissed didn't you? When did you first realize you feelings?"
"I honestly don't know. When we met we just clicked." I shrugged.
"And what about the song you two wrote, and the necklace."
My hand instinctively went to the necklace.
"We didn't really think of it as anything, we were such good friends, we didn't think of each other as anything more. We were young too, we still are. But i guess being a hero makes you grow up faster... Robin and I talked, we'll continue to be good friends, maybe go on a date every so often."
"I see... You're dismissed."
<><><><><><><><><><>
I layed in bed that night staring at the ceiling. So much was happening, and I was overwhelmed. If Robin were here he's say I had to 'stay whelmed', or 'get traught'. The thought made me smile and I eventually fell asleep.
I stood in an inky darkness, wherever I walked I could see however. I heard humming, and a copy of me with black eyes walked into the light, she had a different out on though (Copy's outfit in picture above)
"It's you, the one who told me to hurt my friends. Who- What are you?" I asked.
"I'm you, well the figment of your imagination. I'm your other half."
"Other half, so you know what I am!" I got excited, the memory of her telling me to hurt my friends gone, "What am I?"
"You're half demon." B.E.M (Black eyed me) smiled eerily.
"No, no you're lying! Demons aren't real." I insisted, I couldn't be half demon, that means a part of me is evil, the thing I swore to fight against.
"Why aren't demons real? Martians are, Atlantis is, you're the daughter of a Lord of Order for goodness sakes!" She paused, making eye contact with me, I shuddered, her eyes were the only thing that weren't mine, and they were haunting.
"No Lord of Order would have a child with a demon." I scoffed.
"It was more of a Romeo and Juliet situation. You father brought out the better in you mother. Although instead of the same deaths, the demons and orders teamed up to find and 'exterminate' you parents."
"So what, how do you know about all of this, and how did I imagine a demon me when I didn't know I was half demon?"
"In a way you always knew, at least some part of you mind knew, you just weren't conscious of it. Your mind created me to help you see the truth, that and what you could become."
"Become?" I wondered.
The clone started to circle me, "you know, evil? You're not good or evil, you're a bridge. You will have to chose between one or the other, but the other side will still be a voice in the back of your head. I will be there, to help you make the 'bad' choice."
"There has to be some way to lower the temptation, or get rid of you." I sighed.
"Nope, too late for that." She walked closer to me, "Black suits you."
I woke up with a gasp. I looked over to the clock, seeing it was almost noon I rushed to put on a training outfit and ran out to the training area.
Once I arrived the team looked at me closely and weirdly. I gave them a weird look back.
"What?"
"Your eyes," Megan started.
"They're black, all black." Artemis finished.
"What?" I ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror.
I gasped and held back tears. I looked in the mirror and saw B.E.M standing behind me, I whipped around and she was gone. This was horror movie type crap.
"It's started." I whimpered. "It wasn't a dream."
"What's started?" Kaldur asked from the door of the bathroom. And there she was behind him, B.E.M, same outfit, and same smile.
I ran straight to my room and shut the door behind me, trying to calm my churning stomach.
"Lock the door to everyone unless told otherwise." I ordered S.A.S.S.
I sat down on the bed and look at my shaking hands. I wanted to break something, hurt someone.
"Then do it" I snapped my head up and sighed in relief when it was only B.E.M
"Do what?"
"Break something, hurt someone. Give in." Her voice was like a whisper. Her mouth moved, but no sound came out, her voice was inside of my head.
3rd P.O.V
The team stood outside of (Y/n)'s door trying to figure out what was happening.
"She had black eyes." Artemis started.
"She freaked out." Wally added.
"No duh." Conner rolled his eyes.
"She looked past me, like there was someone there." Kaldur sighed.
"She talked to Black Canary yesterday! We can ask her." Robin suggested.
The team found Black Canary and started to ask her about what they talked about. With all of them talking at once Black Canary couldn't understand what the team was saying.
"Slow down, one at a time."
"She had black eyes, and freaked out, she looked past Kaldur like someone was there, but there wasn't anyone."
"What was said in that room, stays in that room." Black Canary sighed.
"She locked herself in her room and won't come out... Please."
"We talked about her relationship with a certain person," everyone looked at Robin. "She also talked about how lately she was feeling more angry. She said it was like a demon taking her over."
"Thanks."
The team ran back to (Y/n)'s room discussing what Black Canary told them. When they reached the girl's door they knocked.
"(Y/n)? We just want to talk." Megan said.
"Guys, I got this. Wally if you record this I will hurt you." Robin ordered. He knocked on the door and started singing gently, "All those days chasing down a villain. All those years, fighting in a blur. All that time, never really seeing life as it could be. Now you're here shining like a bright star. Now you're here suddenly I know. When you're here it's crystal clear, you're where you're meant to be."
They waited in suspense for an answer, for her to sing the line they had to sing together. When they were ready to give up a voice came from the other side of the door.
"And at last I see the light, and it's like the fog has lifted, and at last I see the light, and it's like the world is new." Robin joined the voice, "And our lives have somehow shifted. All at once everything is different, not that I'm with you."
"All those days watching from behind doors. All those years hoping to be free. All that time never even knowing just how lost I've been. Now I'm here breathing in the fresh air. Now I'm free, suddenly I see, standing here it's all so clear, I'm where I'm meant to be." (Y/n) sang her part.
Robin looked to the others and they urged him to continue.
"And at last I see the light."
"And it's like the fog has lifted." The voice from the other side of the door became louder.
"And at last I see the light."
"And it's like the world is new."
"And it's warm and clear and bright, and our lives have somehow shifted. All at once everything is different, now that I see you... Now that I see you."
(Y/n)'s P.O.V
I opened my door and threw my arms around Robin, burying my head into his shoulder.
"Promise no matter what, you'll still be here." I whispered.
"I promise." He assured me. I pulled back from the hug.
"Good, you guys can come in, we have to talk."
They walked into my room and I sat on my bed, while the rest of the team sat in different spots of my room. I took a deep breath.
"I'm half demon."
"What? No- demons aren't real." Wally scoffed. Him and his scientific mind, then again, I thought the same thing yesterday.
I looked at him and turned my eyes black, it was easier than I though. I just had to picture it, and when I wanted my eyes to go back to (E/c) I had to picture them going back. Simple enough, I suppose I should thank B.E.M for that.
"I'm half demon." I repeated.
"Why does that upset you?" Kaldur asked.
"I have to chose, good or evil, and there's a 'figment of my imagination' telling me the wrong thing to do... she was there when I almost hurt you when Wally became Dr.Fate."
"Choosing shouldn't be a question. Good, always good." Artemis shrugged.
"I know, it's what I want to choose. But I'm angry all the time, and the temptation is heavy. Heck there's a copy of me only I can see that wants me to do the bad thing. Black Canary said that I channel my anger into making that. Even if I do choose good, there will always be that voice. I don't know if the copy will be there, but..." I trailed off.
"We'll be here for you (Y/n), besides, your eyes still look nice." Robin smiled.
"Thanks Robin."
"We will help you through this, keep this the temptation."
B.E.M appeared, when she did it was like dust coming together to form her. Same outfit, same smile, same as always.
"They might not be able to help you (Y/n), you want to choose evil too."
