His Younger Sister • Jason Todd

023: Falling

Deathstroke starts shooting at Kory, but she blocks it. Dick moves out of the way and I start shooting at Deathstroke, him dodging my open fire.

Dick grabs his vest and Deathstroke starts shooting towards him. Dick puts the vest infront of himself and directs the bullets away from his body. Deathstroke moves into shooting at me while I dodge and try to shoot back.

As I'm distracting him, Kory moves around and goes up to Dick and gets in a fighting stance, to protect him. A sound comes from outside and I look to see a helicopter flying around, shining it's light onto Jason and into the window.

This distracted me enough for Deathstroke to start shooting at me again, hitting my shoulder. I grip it in pain and stumble a bit.

"Emily!" Jason screams.

"I'm alright!" I call back, hoping he can hear me through the window.

Dick and Kory start fighting Deathstroke with hand-to-hand combat. By that I mean, Deathstroke uses a gun and the other two don't.

I'm leaning against a wall, just staring at Jason to make sure he isn't too injured. My shoulder starts bleeding out more and I try to move to the window without Deathstroke seeing me, just to quickly speak to Jason.

"Hey." I say, looking at him through the window.

"Hey." He says back, trying to get out of the handcuffs. "How're you doing?"

"Eh, could be better." I laugh, making my shoulder sizzle in pain. "What about you, how's the whole 'getting kidnapped' thing going?"

"Eh, could be better." Jason repeats what I said. "Watch out!"

I move out of the way in time for Deathstroke to miss me, making him topple to the ground. He stands up and starts fighting Dick and Kory again.

"Go get Jason!" She says, Pushing Deathstroke into a wall and the two of them fall through it.

"Jason! Hang in there, buddy!" Dick says and starts banging on the window.

Duck turns around when he hears a big explosion and runs towards there after telling Jason and I that he'd be right back.

I stand up and continue to hit the glass where dick was, before he ran off to help Kory. I keep banging on it but it isn't working as well, as my good arm was shot. All of the sudden I hear something and cover my ears, because it's really loud.

When I look back I see Deathstroke holding the button, and pushed it. My eyes widen and I look back to where Jason was.

"JASON!" I scream, watching the glass break and shatter all over me and Jason fall. "NO!"

I turn to Deathstroke and start to fight him again, until I see Dick run up to the window and say Jason's name. I go over to where he is and see Jason hanging from the window sill.

"Move over." I tell Dick, seeing him struggle with pulling Jason up with one hand.

I lean down and put my hand out and feel Jason skim it before he slips and falls, staring at me with fear and pain in his eyes.

I continued to try and grab at him, even when he was too far away. I stay laying on the ground with my eyes wide and tears fall down my face.

'I love him.' I realized. 'I love him and now he'll never know. God I'm so fucking stupid.'

I sob as he falls to the ground at high speeds, knowing I'll never see him again. I'll never share another moment with him, I'll never kiss him again. Everything we had would be gone. Forever. And there's nothing I can do but watch him fall because I was too cowardly to admit my real feelings.

I'm a joke.

Okayyy thennn. I don't really write angst but I hope this was acceptable.

This chapter is shorter than some of my other ones, I know, but it was still good (in my opinion)
