Aria was standing in the suitroom where she was looking at all the empty stands beside her and Gar, she had a ton of emotions flooding her body but the biggest one was grief as she stared at her suit that was placed next to her brother's empty one with a cross.
"Does it still hurt?" Gar asked as he walked up to her
"Time to time," Aria responded as she fiddled with her necklace
"He was like your brother?" Gar asked before she nodded
"Yeah, he was," Aria added with a warm smile
"Do you think that the others are going to come back?" Gar asked causing her to sigh
"I don't know but I do know that they will come with just a phone call," Aria spoke in a mumble
"Then why don't we call them?" Gar asked making her chuckle
"We're not in trouble for the time being," Aria reminded the man
"Cadmus is going to keep coming after him," Gar reminded his friend
"I know but they can keep trying, we'll protect him," Aria stated in response
"I have no doubt," Gar added as she sighed
"I'm gonna head into the city and get some groceries for dinner tonight, don't open the door for anyone," Aria directed him
Gar nodded his head before she headed out, she didn't like leaving them alone but they needed food for the tower and they couldn't go with her since Cadmus and the Police wanted Conner. She was looking down at her phone waiting for Gar to respond back about what they wanted to snack on when she looked up.
"Aria," Donna spoke as they bumped into each other
"I thought you were heading back to Chicago with Rachel," Aria spoke as they hugged
"I was planning it until she went rogue on me and stopped answering her phone," Donna explained to the blonde
"If I had known, I would've helped you to look for her but I haven't seen her once," Aria spoke in a soft tone
"I thought she would go back to the tower once she ditched me," Donna admitted to her friend
"Nope, it's just me, Gar, and Conner who woke up a week after everyone left," Aria explained in return
"Superboy woke up?" Donna questioned in shock
"Yeah and now we're hiding him since he decided to beat up cops trying to help this man," Aria asked in a soft tone
"That's concerning," Donna mumbled making Aria sigh
Aria and Donna shared a look as Rachel started calling Donna, they went to the tower in hopes she would show up while Aria was out but when they walked in they saw the place a mess and blood everywhere causing Aria to panic a little bit as they walked around
