Silent demons

                                    

                                          
Recap: 
     He leaned farther in holding my chin in his hand while his eyes fluttered shut. I couldn't fight the urge to do the same. After a second more I felt the heat of his lips just barely making contact before M'gann's voice erupted in our heads. 
                          
M'gann: Aqualad has been retrieved. Everyone report to the bioship. 
                          
My eyes popped open and so did his. He growled for a second before roughly pulling away from me and walking around the men, still unconscious, on the ground then out the exit. I felt tears swell up in my eyes but as usual; I chose to ignore it and also walked towards the exit meeting the darkness of the dessert head on.

Robin pov 
                          
I paced in front of the bioships open back hatch for several minutes waiting, waiting for her. She's taking longer than she should. With her super speed I know that she rivals even flash, yet here I am; waiting. 
                          
Robin: black cat what the hell are you do- 
                          
I stopped mid mindlink when Conner came stomping passed me without a word and continued onto the ship. Which was semi weird, usually B.C never left his side during missions since they were our heavy hitters. Aqualad made it a point to keep them together. Turning back towards the darkness I watched her emerge slowly dragging her feet, her head down, and arms hugging her body. Whatever had happened, it somehow rattled her. 
                          
I ran to her and consumed her into a large hug. Breathing in her scent and closing my eyes as I felt my nerves and protectiveness settle. I held her for many minutes until  Artemis yelled about getting a room. We silently walked into the ship, well I walked and she was dragged. I sat her down in a chair facing me while I faced her holding her hands and rubbing her knuckles soothingly. 
                          
"What happened out there?" I whispered softly. Izzy slowly lifted her head and looked off to the side not meeting my gaze.
                          
 "It's nothing I'm fine." 
                          
Her tone was distant and her voice was harsh. It bothered me immensely. 
                          
She hasn't talked to me like that in years... 
                          
I grabbed her chin softly and turned her face towards me. I leaned in slightly to put my forehead to hers, Something I used to do when we were younger; it always calmed her down and helped her find her head. However this normal gesture was interrupted by a powerful force gripping my wrist and yanking it backwards toppling me out of my seat. I fell with a groan and I could feel the bioship come to a hasty halt. Baffled by the force I quickly looked up at the culprit and was met with the livid glare of superboy. I simply stared at him shocked. 
                          
Why would he attacked me? 
                          
"What the hell Conner!" Izzy growled quickly gripping his arm with her super speed and throwing him towards the back access hatch with her super strength. The ship violently shook as he came into contact with the organic metal. M'gann lost control of the bioship at the sudden weight change and sent the ship into a downward spiral. I scrambled off the ground to quickly calm down my raging partner. She's exposed her super strength and speed! 
                          
"Izzy! Calm down I'm okay!" I pleaded with a silent order. I held onto the wall hearing M'gann trying to regain control over the ship. Izzy simply continued to glare heavily at S.B while he pulled himself off the ground. Wiping the side of his mouth with the back of his hand he growled at her. 
                          
"What the hell me!?" He laughed spitefully. "What the hell you Bella!"  He roared swinging his arm down in defiance. 
                          
Curiosity and cautiously I turned my head towards her. "Bella?" I whispered out loud to myself. Suddenly conners voice ripped through the air. 
                          
"Don't. You. Dare. Call her that." He roared leaping towards in rage. I side stepped out of the way but realized I really didn't need to. I felt my eyes widen at the person floating  before me.
                          
Actually floating...
                          
Meeting his shriek head on Izzy superman flew straight into him and captured him with a tackle. The force was so strong that they both went straight through the hatch into the air. 
                          
"Izzy!!" I screamed running towards the hole with new found strength feeling simply helpless just watching my friends free fall in the air
