Chapter Seventeen: Track


Once we escaped from the prison we continued to travel, Rachel guiding us of sorts as she had a feeling where Dick would be. I stood against the car, my arms crossed over my chest as I was waiting for Kory and Rachel to get back. Luckily, the gas station was clean in and out. Hopefully the bathroom was the same...

My mind was else where at this moment in time, knowing Dick he would be on the run, staying low so the cops wouldn't find him. But at the same time, I felt scared for him, on how alone he is right now and if I could, I would help him out. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Kory and Rachel come from the side. Kory looked mad or anger about something, her hands in her jacket pocket.

"Hey, are you mad at something?" Rachel's voice rang out in the air, as they walk back over to the car.

"No, Rachel, I'm thrilled to be looking for a guy that doesn't need to be rescued," Kory spoke back with cockiness laced in her voice.

"Dick is in trouble. I saw it," Rachel spoke back, she went around the back of the car to the passenger side, as I said she could take shotgun this time.

"Ok. Then knock yourself out and dream up his exact location," Kory kind of snapped at her, but it was more of a command. I turn to face Kory, giving her a 'really' look.

"He's around here," Rachel began, making me take my gaze over to her, seeing that she was chewing on something. "I think," she spoke after a moment of silence, her eyes didn't leave Kory's. Kory opens her door, as Rachel opened her own. Kory leans down and does the seat for me, allowing me entry into the back seats. I gotten in quick as I didn't want to waste her time, and Kory slammed the seat back into place, my knees touched the leather seat. Kory took a sigh as she was now inside the car, before I see her grab her phone from her pocket and read the message that was on her screen.

"Fuck," she cursed quietly, but we had still heard her.

"What's wrong?" I ask softly, my head titling to the right see I could be in direct eyesight of Kory.

"Something's happened with Gar," Kory replied starting the car up and began to put it into drive and off we went.Once we were out of the gas station we were now back on the road...

"Hey, where are we going?" Rachel pipped up, taking her gaze over to Kory.

"Back to San Francisco," Kory replied back to Rachel, but she adjusts the rear-view mirror, but I see Rachel expression turn into surprise.

"What about Dick?" She protests.

"We're going back," Kory raised her voice slightly higher than usual.

"Ok, so that's it. You know, I don't get a say. You're just gonna pull the adult card?" Rachel shot back at Kory, making me raise my eyebrow in shock, she was getting a right teenager, but hey, teenagers are like that.

"Yeah, well, someone has to make some adult decisions around here. No more running after Dick Grayson-" Kory raised her voice once again, defending her point. "'Cause some intergalactic space witch had a bad dream," Kory went there, she literally went there, but all I could do was sit here quietly, like I was invisible...

"Oh, I'm the space witch?" Rachel raised her voice back at Kory.

"You're the space witch who has no idea where she's going or why," Kory shot back at her, maybe Rachel didn't know where she was going but she would always find her way to Dick.

"Easy, Truth-Claw. You didn't even know your own name a couple months ago,"

"Yeah, well, I know it now. Kory Anders," Kory took her gaze over to Rachel for a moment before they went back to the road.

"Big whoop!" Rachel yells. "Princess Alien Pink Hair from Planet Tam-O-Whatever," I took a sigh as I sank back into the leather material of the seat, waiting for these two to stop their fighting.

"Tamaran!" Kory yells back at her.

"Whatever!" Rachel yells once again, as I shake my head at both of them, as fighting won't get us anywhere.

"Get it right!" Kory snapped back at her.

"Do I look like I give a fuck?" Rachel carried on like a teenager, making me have the last straw and I was going to snap.

"Stop both of you!" I now raised my voice at them both, I noticed that Kory had pulled over. "If you don't stop being children, we won't help either Dick or Gar," I was using my teacher voice with them both, my gaze flickering to them, but they didn't look back. I see Kory lean forward onto the wheel, as she began to stay there for a moment or two.

"Kory-"

"No," Kory had cut off Rachel before she could make her apology.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I really am," Rachel offered her sweet soft voice.

"It's not your fault," Kory voice broke as she spoke the words, as she was about to cry. "It's mine. I just..." She paused for a moment to gather her voice and words. "I got upset because I used to be so in control of everything, you know? Like, I felt like I could do anything, and now I... All my best qualities are just gone," I offered Kory a sad small, she wasn't useless and her best qualities haven't gone.

"Those aren't your best qualities," Rachel spoke softly to Kory.

"I'm sorry I pulled the adult card," Kory locked gaze with Rachel. "I'm sorry I called you an intergalactic witch," she apologised for name calling, but I think I should be called that really.

"I do give a fuck about what your planet's called,"

"We're all partners in this," Kory had turned her head slightly to meet my gaze as I offered her a smile. Kory held up her hand to Rachel, and they began to do their hand-shake they made. I chuckled at the both as I found it really cute that they had something like that.

"We should go back to San Francisco," Rachel states to us. "It looks like Gar really needs our help," Kory starts the car back up and off we went once again, travelling down the road.

"I'm sorry we didn't find Dick," Kory spoke aloud.

"I'm sure, he'll find his way back," I said to both of them, as we know what Dick was like. My eyes drifted from the front to the side-window, taking in the view for this moment in time....

...........................................

I walk around a forest area, my gaze going up to the night sky the stars shining down at me as well the full moon. I inhaled the fresh air, living for this moment. I walk with nature, though it was night I could still hear the trees swaying in the wind and the crisp leafs crunching under my feet. I was aimlessly walking around going deeper into the forest, but I didn't know why but I felt at peace with nature and myself. My gaze travelled to the trees above, which now blocked out the moonlight, but I kept on walking. 

I blinked for a second, but I was now standing in an open field, trees surrounding me as far as I could see. However, the moonlight shone down upon me, lightening up the field. I smile to myself as this was good, I had no care in the world, I felt... 

Free...

I took my gaze to the moon to see it was beautiful to stare at. I inhaled once again, finding peace in this, but I began to notice something forming in front of the moon, like a black dot, almost. But as I squint my eyes at it, it began to move and grow in size, meaning it was coming for me. Once it was close enough, I made out a humanoid shape, but at the same time it wasn't human. I blinked once again, but now the figure was inches in front of me. It's body was humanoid, but it was different shades of purple. It's hair, pink energy and it was one long flow, it came way pass it's shoulders, to the middle of their back. But it had no face, no features of eyes or anything just a blank purple canvas. This was an Anodite...

"Who are you?" I ask, my voice not too alerting, but the Anodite seems to cock it's head sideways, like it was analysing me.

"Death awaits..." The Anodite distorted voice rang in my ears. I frown my eyebrows at the comment as I've heard it before. "Death awaits for us all, and soon death will surround you," that to me sounded so scary. 

"Who? Who's going to die?" I replied my tone high as this was much pressure. Basically, the Anodite is telling me that someone is going to die, this is a warning. But the Anodite stares at me with it's blank face, before I could get anything more out, she jumps up into the air, flying back where she came from and all I could do was watch... Darkness seem to cloud around me, the moon no longer above, neither the stars, it was a black abyss...

.............................

I shot awake in the car, my eyes casting around in the car, but my eyes were met with Rachel's gaze upon me. Her expression kind of worried, like a concerned friend she was.

"Are you ok? You were like speaking another language," Rachel spoke softly to me, giving me those big blue eyes of hers.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I replied back to her, before shifting up right as I was laying down on the back seats. "Are we back yet?" I cast my gaze over to Kory.

"About there," she states, meaning we were back in San Francisco, and back to the tower. I lean back into the seat as I wondered about the dream or whatever it was. Someone was going to die, and I had no clue who, nor when...
