"Dad do something he is going to kill himself!" Quinn cried at the man bent over looking out of the window, the city skyline invisible to his eyes as the sound of his daughter's pain pierced through him like a knife.

" Quinn I have tried, I warned Grant what would happen he has not listened to me. "

"This is insane you know he is hell-bent on revenge against the Teen Titans, even Joe." Why did her brothers have to be like this?

" I know Quinn, I know but what can I do? " He was no saint but in his way, he loved all three of his children. Adeline to if she had let him.

"You have to do something he won't listen to me!" Jealousy had been part of the reason Grant had disconnected himself from his siblings, the powers Quinn and Joseph possessed were much more potent and vast than his own, his falling in with H. I.V.E had been the biggest factor.

"He went totally crazy after Carol dumped him, everyone warned him what would happen if he kept on cheating on her." Quinn herself had not been one of them, she was hardly a fountain of moral virtue on the subject, she herself had slept with Joseph's girlfriend.

" Jesus what is wrong with my kids! " Slade turned back to the window he knew he was to blame but damn he wanted them to do better than this.

His fault Joseph couldn't talk, his fault Grant was so hell-bent on self-destruction and his fault Quinn had no idea what she wanted but seemed fated to stay in the middle between her brothers, running after a woman who didn't even know she existe...

His fault Joseph couldn't talk, his fault Grant was so hell-bent on self-destruction and his fault Quinn had no idea what she wanted but seemed fated to stay in the middle between her brothers, running after a woman who didn't even know she existed, she thought he hadn't noticed but he had, anyone with eyes had.

"He is going to burn himself out!" Quinn had seen the start already, she had done everything she could to dissuade him from letting H. I.V.E experiment on him, he hadn't listened he wanted to be just like Deathstroke even if it meant destroying himself.

"I will try again Quinn but I can't promise anything." 

She left her father's office in despair her mind so focused on Grant that she didn't notice the blonde just ahead of her until a bubbly smile was her greeting.

"Hi, Quinn."

" Oh err....Hi Sara. " Cursing herself for being so tongue-tied around Sara Lance she hung her head and blushed, her mind singing all the ways she could tell her she loved her.

"You are sweet, so I'll see you around I'm late."

Quinn watched her go, knowing full well where she was going and with who.

"Some people never know how lucky they are." Her father may like Oliver Queen but Quinn hated the man, he had what she wanted and had it by cheating on his girlfriend.

Sighing she collected her morbid feelings and left, she had been allowed a brief place in the sun, a charitable donation to the less fortunate, now she was back in the shade again.
