So, I am absolutely bawling my eyes out, as I just finish reading Can A Bird Trust A Cat? by TheBatAndTheBird. If you haven't, read it. I spent the whole day reading it and now I want to rip my heart out from the feels. 

NO OFFENCE TO THEBATANDTHEBIRD I LOVE YOUR TECHNIQUE.

Hand in hand, Dick and I found the apartment Carrol lives in. We took the elevator to the floor one from the top. When we were in there, I noticed a small dent in the floor and laughed.

"What?" Dick asked, and I kneeled down, releasing his hand for a sad moment.

"I did this when I was ten! I hung upside down from the top of the elevator. It didn't work out for me," I laughed, scratching my head.

When I straightened up, I didn't retake Dick's hand, and we walked down the hallway to Carrol's apartment. I knocked on the door excitedly.

"Coming!" She called, and a few second later, she opened the door. Carrol has a short, black bob hair-style and stunning purple eyes.

"Hana! I've missed you!" She smiled, opening her arms up to me. I laughed and hugged her, telling her I missed her too. She must have just gotten home from work, judging by her grey office clothes.

"This is R-er, Dick. A friend of mine," I smiled, gesturing to Dick with a smile. I'm sure she got the idea that he was part of the team.

We were invited in and took a seat.

"So, how are you liking the new job?" She asked me with a smile.

"It's great. Scary sometimes, but great. Yeah, I love it. The Team are amazing too," I gushed, and couldn't stop myself from grinning.

I told her about a mission actively, and became slightly aware of Robin's arm around my shoulders again, but I certainly did not mind.

As I explained the excruciating pain of being squeezed by a clay monster, I decide I was vaguely certain I had definite feelings for Dick.

Carrol decided to drop us off at Marist Elderly Home. She visited Lana often, and so did Lana's brother, and his family. 

Dick and I followed Carrol into the apartment's garage, and climbed into her Lexus. 

"U-Um, Carrol. How is...her condition?" I then remembered, I hadn't mention to Robin that Lana had Lewy Body Disease. 

Carrol was silent for a while, and worry came over my face. 

"She's...she's not good Hana. I'm not going to lie. The Doctor said this is one of the fastest deteriorations he's seen in a LBD patient. Most have seven years but...he set Lana's at a few months."

I guess I always knew that. I couldn't help the tears pooling in my eyes, so when we pulled up at the high care facility, I practically sped from the car to the door. It may or may not have involved some flying.

Carrol entered the code, and the door opened. We were greeted by nurses, and entered the main living room. It was nice, but it smelled like soup. 

Automatically I grasped Dick's hand.

"If it's okay Hana, I'll leave you to this. I'll take you kids out for dinner afterwards, alright?" Carrol said, and then she left.

I lead Robin through the hallways. We passed one in particular old lady with a walker, or grinned a toothless smile at us and said, "ah, young love."

Discreetly, I let one of my ponytails curtain my face to hide my blush.

We came to room 16, where a plaque was nailed to the door with "Lana Salvini" engraved on it. Grasping the handle, I looked up at dick.

"Lewy Body Disease is a dangerous form of dementia. When I come here, I'm always worried that...she won't remember me."

My hands turned to fists, and I tried not to cry, chanting 'don't be a baby' in my head several times. Dick placed a hand on the small of my back, and that willed me to knock on the door gently, and open it.

"Miss Lana?" I said softly, and walked in to see her on a rocking chair, watching her TV like she always did. Two and a Half Men, of course.

She looked up at me, and I saw how much she had deteriorated in six months. Lana had always been...chubby, but she has lost considerable weight. Her eyes were red, and had several lines and dark bags beneath them.

Her skin was pale, wrinkled and saggy. She kept an IV pole with her, and had many tubes protruding her body. He hair was still long, but completely grey.

When we entered, her normally bright Hazel eyes were clouded with confusion. I was so worried that she would ask me who I was.

After a moment, the cloud disappeared, and her confusion was replaced with excitement.

"My little flower! Oh Hana darling!" She stood up from her chair and waddled towards me. I laughed,so happy to see her, so happy she knew who I was.

I pulled her in for a hug gently, feeling like a kid again.

"Oh child," she smiled, placing her cold hands on my cheeks. I smiled sadly when tears filled her eyes, and touched her hands.

She hugged me again, and seemed to finally notice Robin.

"Oh dear, is this your boyfriend?" She asked me taking my hand tightly.

"This is a friend of mine, Dick. Dick, this is my nanny, Miss Lana." The two met, and as expected, Lana pinched Dick's cheeks, and I had to hold back a grin.

Dick and I lead Lana to a meeting room. They're spread all over the room. Little lounges you can reunite in since the rooms are so small.

"Bet you were worried I wouldn't remember you," Lana chided as we settled. I looked back at her sadly.

"Yes. I was aware that things had gotten worse," I sighed. Robin seemed surprised by Lana's comment, but to me that was just Lana.

"How's Orion? Still good?" She asked.

"He is. I haven't taken him on any missions yet, might have to take him on the next one though. He'll be expecting it," I laughed. "Maybe I'll bring him with me next time."

Lana looked dead at me then. "If you choose to wait six months again to see me child, then the next time you come back I will not be here," she said sternly.

I looked at the table. "Yes Ma'am."

"What were you doing, exactly?"

"I wasn't on Earth Miss Lana. I was serving the Guardians, and at the same time looking for that red lantern."

"Make sure you make him regret what he did Hana."

"I will Ma'am."

I stared at the table. I had searched and followed every lead for that red lantern.

"So, Dick. Do you like cars?" Lana asked Robin. I smiled at him, and he nodded. Lana lead him over to the window and pointed to her car in the parking lot.

"There's my legacy. Jaguar F-type R Coupé." Lana treasured that car. 

Later, Carrol picked us and Lana up and took us to a restaurant. We ate and laughed, but I noticed Lana had a lot of trouble putting certain words together, plus she asked me several time how Orion was.

When we returned to Marist, it was late at night, and the code doesn't work at night so we rang the bell. A nurse answered and let us inside.

Unlike before, there were only two people in the lounge, and we went down the hall to room 16. We realised we had left the door open.

Wait...no. A woman who looked a lot like Lana had when she was younger emerged.

"Carrol! ... Is that you Hana?" It was Lana's niece Teresa, her brother's daughter.

"Yes, Hana came for a visit with her boyfriend dear, isn't that nice," Lana smiled, waddling into her room. She insisted on referring to Dick as my boyfriend.

To be honest, I didn't mind.

"Hana!" some voices chorus. Three kids came running out of Lana's room. Daphne, Luke and Brent hugged me. I smiled and hugged them back.

Luke was seven but tall, with big brown eyes and blonde hair. Brent was only three with brown hair and grey eyes. Eleven year old Daphne's hair was a lighter brown, and she too had grey eyes.

As Carrol and Teresa talked, I introduced Daphne and the boys to Dick. The boy then ran off, but Daphne stayed. It was awkward between the two of us, because six months ago she had seen me using my powers. Yeah, not good.

Reaching out, she grabbed my arm and pulled it up. For a while, she stared at my ring.

"So, this gives you your powers, right?" She asked quietly, so the others wouldn't hear. 

"Daph, I don't know how you hoped Dick wouldn't hear that, but he did. It's okay though," I heard Robin chuckle behind me.

"He knows?"

"Yeah, he's part of the team I joined."

Daphne stared at him, and then wet back to staring at my ring. It was strange. I think she had a question for me.

"Is something wrong Daph?" I asked.

"Y-Yeah. Well, I was just wondering. You know like...Black Canary, Captain Marvel...were they born with their powers?"

"Well...yeah." 

"How? You know medical stuff, right? So how?"

"Well...there are different theories about it. But I agree with one about mutation. Those born with superpowers were simply gifted with a mutation of their biology. But Daphne...power is not what makes a hero, if that's what you were wondering."

"N-No! That's not it I just..." She released my hand, and stood away from me slightly. It was then that I realised where this might have been going.

"Hang on, Daphne. Are you saying...you have powers?" I asked. 

For a split second, the grey disappeared in her eyes and flashed green, before returning to normal. I went to say something, but Teresa came out. 

"Hey, ready to go?" Carrol asked Robin and I. 

"Yeah, but Daph and I were just making plans. So, will you be available on the..." I pulled my phone out to check my calender for when I didn't have something planned. 

"Will you be available on the seventh on September? I'll take you shopping." That time, Daphne could use to ask me any questions she had.

"Err, yeah. I should be, if that's okay, mom?" Teresa nodded, and then they left.

I kissed Lana goodbye, and before I knew it, Robin and I were at the Star City Zeta-tubes again.

We stepped in and appeared in the empty mission room. 

"Well, I guess I better Zeta back to Gotham," He said, turning towards me.

I smiled up at him. "Yeah...thank you for coming with me today Dick. I needed the support," my heart when a million miles per hour as I leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"Goodnight," I smiled, as we separated. 

"Goodnight, Hana."
