Chapter 44

Selina helped me up and we left our cell. Two male guards came up to me. And grabbed me.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"No questions." One said as he gripped my arm tighter.

They took me across the prison to the men's ward. They opened the door and shoved me in. I lost my balance and fell on all fours. I put my hand on my stomach.

"Hey it's the b*tch that put me in here." I heard yelled. I sat up and back up against the door. A hoard of men circled around me.

Floyd ran out of the crowd and stood in front of me. "Anyone hurts her and you'll deal with me." He said.

"And what are you going to do to me?" Captain Cold asked.

"Well to start off I don't need powers to have a fight." Floyd said taking a fight stance.

"Break it up!" A guard yelled.

The crowd disbanded and Floyd helped me up.

"When did this happen?" He asked as he put a hand on my stomach.

"Um about eight months ago." I said.

"Is it Nightwing's?" He asked.

"Yes, I met up with him after our mission." I said.

"Are you done blaming yourself for Diablo's death?" He asked.

"No, it's not something I would let myself forget." I said.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"I have no idea." I said. "Did you see your daughter after the mission?"

"I did, did you? Well you saw your husband I would assume you also did." Floyd said.

"Hey let's sit." He motioned to a table.

"Yes I did. I hid in her room while Lagoon Boy, Superboy and Red Robin searched for me. I was using an invisibility spell." I said.

"You two are so clever gadget wise." Floyd said.

"It's all Nightwing. I'm only a sorceress and archer who also knows martial arts." I smiled.

I felt a flick on the back of my neck. I turned and saw the Riddler. "What do you want?" I asked.

"Riddle me this. Small and Tiny it grows and grows. When the time comes away we goes!" He said as he sat down.

"Very cleaver, if you'd asked anyone else you would have stumped them." I smiled.

"But what's the answer?" Floyd asked confused.

"A baby." I said. Edward laughed as I rolled my eyes.

"Now is it your hubby's." Icicle Jr. asked as he joined us at a table.

"If your asking if it's Nightwing's. Yes it's Nightwing's." I said as I leaned on the table.

"You okay Kid?" Floyd asked.

"I'm fine. It's nothing I haven't dealt with before." I said.

"Wait you've got another kid?" Cameron (Icicle Jr)asked.

"Yes, did you not notice the year and a half I took off before killing the mayor of Metropolis?" I asked.

"No," Cameron asked.

"Now that you mention it. I did notice Nightwing was flying solo." Edward said.

"Ya," I noticed I was rubbing my stomach. I stopped and rested my hands on my stomach.

"I miss them so much." I said as I felt as a tear rolled down my cheek.

"You alright kid?" Floyd asked.

"It's just my hormones they're everywhere." I said.

"A Hormonal superhero. I've seen it all now." Edward laughed.

"Dude be nice." Cameron said. I smiled as I watched as the enemy stood up for me.

"When Black Canary and Green Arrow started training me I never thought I would be sitting in a prison talking with Dead Shot, The Riddler And Icicle Jr." I said with a smile.

"Do you think you'll go back to the Justice league once you get out?" Cameron asked.

"Yes, but I'll take strategies completely different. I'll definitely try to talk the situation out." I said.

I scrunched my nose, "what's wrong?" Edward asked.

"Something smells bad." I said.

"Well it is the men's ward." Floyd laughed.

"True, the men's locker room on the Watch tower sometimes gets this funky smell." I said. They laughed.

"Wait I wanna know why you've been in the men's locker room on the Watchtower?" Croc asked as he took a seat next to Floyd.

"I was meeting up with Nightwing, because we had dinner reservation and I was getting him so we wouldn't be late." I said.

"So have you spoken with The Bat recently?" Ed asked.

"No, I haven't seen him since before the suicide squad mission. He came and spoke to me about it. But there's without a doubt he had some hand in my arrest." I said.

We spent almost an hour chatting before a one of the inmates decided to pick a fight with me.

I stood up, "what is your problem?" I asked.

"You are." Black Paisley said.

"You and Nightwing are the reason I'm in here. So I'm gonna take something from both of you two." He said as he swung at me.

I ducked and kicked him. It was a bit harder with my stomach. "You ain't got your magic or your bow." Paisley said.

"But that doesn't mean I can't fight." I said.

"Ha I'm not even trying." He said.

"Quit chatting and fight." I huffed as I threw a punch then a kick.

He grabbed my foot and twisted it. I jumped but landed on my back with the wind knocked out of me. Paisley picked me up by the neck. I pulled on his fingers.

"Where's Nightwing to save you now?" He laughed.

"She doesn't need him she's got me." I heard.

He threw me down. Ed ran over to me as Cameron, Waylon and Floyd kept him distracted.

"You okay?" He asked.

"I don't know." I said as I wrapped my arms around my stomach.

He helped me up, I could barely walk. Ed scooped me up and carried me to the door I was brought in. Two guards opened it and they led Ed out.

The guards escorted Ed to the Medical ward where I was taken care of.

Later that night I was taken back to my cell. Selina was relieve to see I was somewhat alright.
