Into Open Arms
So, you would’ve thought that me being the Flash, I had no problem catching up to anyone. Well… not all the way true! I would have to know exactly where someone went! I knew that Tabby would have to teleport to Alabama and that was a major problem; I had no idea where in Birmingham Jamila’s husband and children lived… if they even lived there! This was a true race against time!
I should’ve let J’onn handle it; he was truly connected to anyone at any given time. But, I was already racing past the Alabama state line by the time I realized it. A minute later, I was on the outskirts of Birmingham. I contacted the only other person I knew that could help me.
“Bruce… please tell me you’re not busy…”
“I’m on my way back from lunch. What’s wrong?”
“I need Tabby’s coordinates.”
“What? What’s going on? Is she in trouble?”
“She’s not but whoever gets in her way is! Look, I can handle this; it’s best that no one else gets involved.”
“Wally, what the hell is going on?!”
“I promise you, I’ll tell you later but I really need to know where she’s at like five minutes ago!” I rushed. This was the one side of Bruce Wayne I didn’t like; he needed to know the full details of things before he did anything! Then I remembered that he used to have this thing for her. Well, probably not “used to”; I had a feeling that he was in love with her still. She just chose Big Green over him. Man… what was up with the women liking J’onn? Huh… maybe it was Martian pheromones or something…
I had hoped that it wasn’t too late as I found the house. My hopes and my heart dropped as soon as I heard the screams. My adrenaline kicked in as I barreled through the door. The living room was a mess but I could feel the remnants of sparks in the air. I followed the screaming, shouting and the crackling of electricity into the kitchen.
All I saw was Tabitha holding doc’s husband against the wall with one hand, the other raised above her head with currents flowing rapidly around it and her arm. Tears flowed out of her eyes as she glared at him. That was actually a good sign; she wasn’t completely gone! But, she was still losing it. She was still on the verge of killing him and I had a feeling that it didn’t matter what he tried to say. I knew that talking to her would be totally in vain so I did the only thing I knew to do; I tackled her and pinned her to the ground.
I knew what was coming; she unleashed right then and there. I was just glad that it wasn’t a massive attack; my body took all of her lightning. Man, did not expect for it to hurt that damn bad; I wanted to pass out! But I knew that if I let her go, Tabby would go after doc’s husband yet again. I forced more of my body weight on her as she writhed in sheer anger, shocking me once more.
“Get… off me!” she seriously growled.
“Not until you calm down…” I managed. If she shocked me one more time, I was done for. I was surprised when she didn’t; she continued to try to break free.
A past conversation suddenly came to mind. Tabby was in the process of her initial training for the League and was nearly rehabilitated. We were discussing what to do if she ever went through one of her rage blackouts in our presence. The solution was simple: stop her at all costs. But, we all automatically assumed that J’onn would be the one to do it; his method would be painless. I never gave it a thought that I would be one of the ones to contain her; her determination to get from under me gave me no other choice.
If I thought about it too long, I would chicken out. So, I immediately grabbed the back of her head and forced her head down to the floor.
“Get the fuck off; let go!!”
“You either calm down or I’ll take you down! How do you want to do this, Tabitha?!” I had to show her that I meant business. As long as I known her, I never felt the need to remind her that I was a founding member. To hear myself threaten her sounded weird and just… off. I saw a flicker of something flash through her eyes before they produced more tears; she either finally realized who had her pinned down or was starting to snap out of her enraged state. I glanced over at doc’s husband (I kid you not; I never could remember his name: he really wasn’t important to me…); the triplets were right beside him, absolutely terrified. I glared down at Tabby, “You’re scaring the kids!”
In the back of my mind, I had hoped that the statement would be enough to make her snap out of it; she loved those kids almost as much as Jamila. I never expected for it to work! The darkness lifted from her eyes and I could tell that she finally saw what was in front of her. She started to shake as sobs tried to come out.
“W-W-What… trips… Wa-Wally…?”
“Yeah.” I sighed. Her body was no longer tense underneath me as she could do nothing but stare at the children.
“Please… let me up…” her voice cracked.
“Are you going to attack their father, again?”
“A-Again…? I… n-n-no…” she cried. I released her and was damn near overjoyed that she didn’t attack. In fact, she couldn’t even look him in the eye. I lifted her off the floor but looked at Jamila’s family.
“I’m… I’m sorry…”
“Get out…” Jamila’s husband shook his head.
“Can I at least clean…”
“Get… out!” he glared at me. I gave him a slight nod as I escorted Tabby out of the house. Man… this was bad… this was really bad!

-_-_-_-_-
Drinking a night’s worth of liquor in under an hour was probably the worst idea I ever had in my life! Pounding wasn’t the right word for what I was feeling in my head; it was almost as if someone was sitting on it, jabbing my skull with an icepick! The sensation was enough to make me nauseous. I didn’t want to open my eyes but I knew that I had to so that I could run… stumble to the bathroom!
A cool hand against my forehead stopped me from doing anything. It was what I really needed. I mean, it didn’t make the migraine leave but it was comforting! I slowly opened my eyes and just stared into his. I couldn’t do it for much longer; everything started to spin and I closed my eyes once more!
“I don’t have to ask how you’re feeling… but I will.” J’onn was cautious with his tone. I groaned.
“Can’t say that I’m a fan of myself right now…” I expected to taste everything that I had drunk on top of the vile aftertaste of throw up. I was surprised that neither lingered on my taste buds; did the Martian brush my teeth afterwards?!
“Relax.” he semi-ordered. I tried as best as I could as I felt pressure on my temples. J’onn started to make small, massaging circles on them with his fingers and I’ll be damned if it wasn’t soothing! I sighed in relief as the migraine downgraded to a headache. Part of me wondered how he did it; this was one of his abilities I didn’t think we discussed. Maybe it was something that he used sparingly, “Stop thinking…” he ordered yet again. Okay, yeah; like I could help it at that moment! Instead of being testy, I just sighed and concentrated on his fingers.
I dared to open my eyes yet again; maybe the daylight wouldn’t burn a hole into my sockets this time around! Better yet, the room would do what it’s supposed to do: not spin! I was relieved that the walls stayed put but I put my attention fully on the Martian. He seemed to be in some sort of trance. He was fully concentrated on healing me. I didn’t think of my headache or anything else; my focus was on him.
It was one of those rare moments where I didn’t look at him and the first thing on my mind was sex. I just wanted to study him. He didn’t have pupils but after spending so much time with him, I saw that they carried all of his emotions, even when his face didn’t. The only things “alien” about his appearance were his beetle brow and his green skin; the rest of his features were human. They were so basic but it made him so distinguished. I knew why he chose the look; he wanted to fit in but didn’t want to lose all of his Martian roots. We never talked about what made him choose that particular look but I was pretty sure he was oblivious to the fact that he made himself more… appealing to the eye.
Before I could stop myself, I reached up and grabbed his wrists. My headache was gone and all I wanted to do was look at him and hold him in my arms. After what I had gone through, I definitely needed to be comforted. The crazy thing was that I didn’t care if it led to us making love or not. He needed to know how grateful I was for his friendship, alone. Anyone else would’ve left me alone in the state I was in a few hours ago; I started to vaguely remember calling him everything but a child of God… or… whoever Martians prayed to…
Regardless, I didn’t know of many who would take that kind of abuse or antics; it definitely showed who your friends really were. J’onn came out of his trance and looked at me.
“… Thank you… for everything…” I felt that it was all I needed to say. He gave me a quick nod.
“As I’ve said before, we are friends. I do not mind giving you simple comfort when needed.”
“Even if it’s my own dumb fault?” I asked. He surprised me as he sighed but a soft smile appeared.
“I believe that I will always question human behavior. Regardless of your actions… your pain is real and I do not fault you. Question you, yes. But now is not the time for lectures.” he explained.
“I’m sorry for how I treated you… and everything that I may have called you…”
“I understand. I have been told that humans tend to speak the truth when they’re intoxicated. Seeing that you were highly frustrated with me, I know that your mind couldn’t comprehend that I was trying to help. Apology accepted.” there were no bedroom eyes this time around; just a simple look. But yet it made him even more tempting. I didn’t realize that I was staring at him until he gave me a small smile, “Is there something else you want to tell me?”
“… You’re a beautiful creature…” my mouth had a relapse. He gave me a surprised look, removing his hands from my head. Once I realized what I actually said, I blushed heavily, “Uh… not that I think you’re a creature…”
“No, it wasn’t… thank you. Even though… if you were to see the real me, you wouldn’t think so.” his words sparked my interest big time. Huh… after all this time, I had never seen his true Martian form. Why had I never asked…?
“Well… why don’t you show me… and let me be the judge of that.” to say that I was curious was an understatement! That subconscious of mine found a corner to cower in which put a heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach. We had shared everything with each other; for me not to know how he really looked was speaking at loud volumes! Maybe he was right; maybe he was hideous in his true form.
“Are you sure?” he asked. It was do or die time! I needed him to debunk our myths on how Martians looked. For the most part, yes; I was absolutely sure I wanted to see what he really looked like. Before I could stop myself, I nodded. My heart started to race as he backed away and started to nod, himself, “Very well. But don’t say that I didn’t warn you.”
My eyes widened as he started to transform right before me. It wasn’t one of those quick ones like it was done in the movies. I didn’t know whether he was doing it on purpose or not, just to make sure that he didn’t startle me too badly. His beetle brow disappeared as his head elongated into a smoothed point towards the back. Ridges formed at the sides near his temple, making his ears disappear. His face narrowed a bit, making his features more angular. Okay… nothing hideous yet.
It was his body’s turn to transform. He removed the clothes that he had on as his body became lean. His chest formed into plates, more like some sort of exoskeleton but that wasn’t what made me gasp. It was his arms; from his elbows down to his wrists, numerous spikes appeared. His fingers began to stretch out into what looked like talons. I slowly got up to get a better, whole view of him. His legs were the only things that didn’t change as drastically… until I looked down at his feet. The only way I could describe them was that they looked like what I would’ve imagined on a gargoyle; three-toed talons.
I had to admit that it wasn’t what I was expecting. Then again, I had no idea what to expect! The way he talked, I half expected for him to turn into some slime covered, awful smelling thing from Aliens or something like that! This? I was accepting this! It was different and maybe a bit intimidating. I guess a part of me wasn’t afraid because I knew that it was J’onn. So, the only thing that was truly menacing were those damn spikes that ran up and down his arms!
My heart thumped hard as I approached him, studying his new anatomy. The one thing that was missing was that green cock of his; I wanted to assume that he had that sheathed. He took in a small breath as my fingers ran across his plated chest. It was a different texture, not hardened as I had thought it would be. I traced the contours of them, actually enjoying how they felt. I looked up and saw that he was staring at me with a mix of emotions. I wanted to ask but the professor in me wanted to explore more.
I let my fingers travel up to his face, particularly to those ridges. I slowly went over them, one by one; they were not as tough as his chest and a bit softer than the cartilage on my ear lobes. J’onn closed his eyes and let out some sort of a satisfied sound when I did so. He gently grabbed my wrist before I reached the middle, looking at me.
“Those are my ears… and they’re sensitive.”
“O-Oh. Sorry…” my attention went to his arm. As soon as he released my wrist, I carefully touched one of his spikes. Just as I figured; hard, rough and sharp.
“You are not bothered by my true appearance?”
“No. You’re still… beautiful.”
“Are you saying that you would be intimate with me… in this state?”
“Well… yeah. Of course. Why wouldn’t I? Although…” I made it a point to look down before looking back at him with a smirk, “I wouldn’t know how. You’d teach me how Martians really make love?” so this hadn’t dawn on me until that very moment. I couldn’t help but to tingle all over, trying to even imagine what it would be like to make love that way. For all I knew, it could’ve been the same as it had been before… not that I was complaining about that! But, what if it wasn’t? Before, I had no feelings of desire but just the thought was getting me quickly hot and bothered!
Of course, he noticed and of course, he gave me a small smile!
“We are capable of making love in numerous ways. However, I couldn’t show you the true Martian way.”
“Oh…?”
“It would kill you.”
“Oh. Now that’s scary!”
“Martians become one when we make love. Humans don’t have the physical ability to do so or withstand it.”
“Ah; I see.” regardless, it still made me curious. He was right, though. Him attempting to “become one” with me or any human would be downright painful. He would be melding with our muscles, our bones, our organs… I shivered just thinking about it! The only way would be if he became transparent. But then… you wouldn’t feel anything and that would defeat the purpose!
I couldn’t explain how I was feeling at the moment, though. I wanted to experience true Martian love-making… without experiencing it! If anything had come out of this affair, it was the two of us bonding. What better way to bond even more than to participate in something that was a part of his culture?
“J’onn… what if you… modified it?”
“Modify it?”
“Isn’t there some way you could show me… how it would feel to another Martian?” I asked him. He thought about my question for a while before giving me another smile.
“I could show you another way. But, don’t you think that this is an inappropriate time? You are still suffering…” he said. I knew what he meant by it. In all honesty, he was right; it should’ve been the last thing on my mind. But then again, I needed something to get my mind off of things. I had tried it in the least sensible way a few hours prior and it only ended with me slurring and not being able to walk!
“It’s… it don’t matter. I’m gonna suffer no matter what. I… I want this. I want you. J’onn… please?” I think that was the first time I ever begged him for anything. Wait; no, this was the second time. Even still; it didn’t happen often! The look of slight shock that registered on his face confirmed it as well. I didn’t know what came over me; I was not in the mood to be told no! I had to stand on my tip toes but I planted a tender kiss on his chin and leaned more into him, “Show me…”
Never expected for it to be so effective but I could feel the shift in the atmosphere! A gasp accidentally escaped as he suddenly cupped my chin, making me look at him. There was that familiar look; the one that made my heart thump harder because I knew what was coming! Only this time, I didn’t know fully.
“Have I ever mentioned about how persistent you were…?”
“Maybe… twice?” I bit my lip in anticipation. Instead of feeling his lips on mine, I felt a talon finger trace my cheekbone. My breath caught in my throat as he continued down to my neck. He wasn’t hurting me but I could definitely feel that his fingers alone were very capable of inflicting some serious pain!
“Human skin is so… fascinating. I enjoy the feel of it…” he trailed off as his hands went to my waist and then underneath my shirt. I swear, I couldn’t breathe right as I felt his palms caress me! The feeling was much different than all the other times; it was more intense and deliberate. His hands slowly ran across my stomach, up my sides but made their way back down right before I thought he would cup my breasts. J’onn carefully hooked his fingers into my pants and pulled them off, all the while running his hands over the curvature of my legs. He was… studying me. He wasn’t lying; he really did enjoy the feel of human skin. I looked down at him but his eyes were paying more attention to what he was feeling.
He suddenly looked up at me and smiled, which eased the tension that was stuck in my stomach. Not that I was afraid; I couldn’t explain it. I guess it was the fact that I had no idea what was going to happen and part of me needed to know what to expect. As he stood, his hands went back underneath my shirt, this time around, he pulled that off as well.
So, there I stood in my underwear, looking at him for some sort of sign as to what was next. He gave out a light chuckle as he tipped my chin up and kissed me. Ah; finally! My body trembled as I felt his hands on my shoulders; the tremble was replaced by a moan once I found out his real intentions: he was taking my bra off! J’onn abruptly broke the kiss and just stared at me. Oh, those eyes; this was most definitely going where I wanted it to go… I think…? Whatever; deep down, I knew that I was going to experience pleasure one way or the other!
“You think too much…” he gave me a wry smile. I narrowed my eyes at him.
“Maybe you should stay out of my mind, Martian...”
“I enjoy your thoughts too much to do so, human…” was it my imagination or was his eyes starting to glow…? I quickly realized that I wasn’t imagining it; in a blink of an eye, I found myself lying in bed. I didn’t mean to but I let out a gasp as he pinned my hands above my head; not that he was rough but it was the pace of it all that had my heart about to leap out of my chest! Okay, whatever I had done… I needed to remember to do it, again!
I tensed when I felt his finger trace my jawline all the way down to my neck. Before, he was careful and only used the palms of his hands. Not this time. He deliberately scraped that talon finger against my skin. Not hard enough to break the skin but enough that I definitely felt it! Wherever his fingers scraped, in their place was a tingling sensation much like the time when he bit me. I closed my eyes from the pure ecstasy of it! My heart raced along with the feeling that erupted all over my body; was this part of the true Martian lovemaking? If it was, hot damn! I squirmed as his hands made their way to my panties and he slowly peeled them off. A low grumbling came from him as he carefully took the back of his finger and rubbed at my swollen clit. I whimpered as I began to move my hips along with his circular motions.
…… Wait… if one hand was playing with the button and the other scraping its way up to my breasts… what the hell was still holding my hands?! My eyes popped open and I froze at what I saw. Or at what I assumed; I couldn’t see above my head! That didn’t change the fact that I knew for sure that both hands were below my waist… and something else was holding my wrists together!
“Relax. I will never hurt you.” he tried to reassure. My eyes widened as I watched green appendages slowly wrap around my ankles. He spread my arms out and it took everything in me to control my breathing; I could feel them coiling around my wrists. Could I call them tentacles…? No. They were more like… vines. This was weird; what the hell did I get myself into?!
A thick appendage made its way on my back, lifting me from the bed a bit. It narrowed and wrapped around my neck gently, giving me no other choice but to look up at my ceiling. He told me to relax but it was hard to do knowing that something was wrapped around my damn neck! But, the more I attempted to panic, the more I realized that he was right. He wasn’t hurting me. I was actually… comfortable. Well, as comfortable being spread eagle a few inches off the bed could get me!
I gasped as I felt one slide inside of me; of course, my muscles immediately squeezed around it! Oh… this wasn’t bad at all! I was about to move my hips until I felt… another appendage. I gasped as both stretched me; they were both thick yet smooth. I moaned as he began to make them piston in and out of me. Along with the feeling of his scrapes erupting over my body, my body writhed and wiggled with the motions. By the gods, this was unreal! And there I thought that having regular sex with the Martian was amazing; this took the cake! Why had it took so long for me to experience this?
“Give me all of you…” it didn’t come out as a demand but it still puzzled me, “Can I have all of you?” he breathed out. I… what? What did he think I did all this time? Ever since he pinned me on the wall and made me look at him while I made my ugly “oh” faces… it was all that he ever received from me. I had long accepted that he thoroughly enjoyed those embarrassing noises and horrible faces; I always did whatever he asked of me. Even when he didn’t say a word, I found ways to satisfy him. There were no complaints, though; in return, he always made sure that I was a happy camper!
To say that I didn’t understand was an understatement! However, I was still experiencing this new level of pleasure and I didn’t want him to stop. I nodded as best as I could.
“Y-Yes…” I trembled. He could always have all of me! He let out a satisfied moan as he pushed those tentacles, er, appendages deeper into me. Was that what he meant? Because that confused me even more; he had always tried to drive as deep as he could into me, which left me in a quivering mess! Mind you, two cock-like objects were taking turns inching me closer to possibly the most powerful orgasm I will ever experience but J’onn going deep was nothing new!
The appendage that cradled my back started to flex; it wasn’t until I felt a smaller one slither (ugh; that was such a creepy word but… there was no other way to describe it…) in between my cheeks that I realized exactly what he meant by having all of me! I tried to protest this move… or at least I did in my mind! I was pretty sure that nothing escaped my mouth but stuttered groans! I automatically tensed up as I felt it go past the puckered entrance and braced myself for the most excruciating pain ever! Welp; I could no longer joke about being one-third virgin!
I was slightly confused that there was no pain. A lot of pressure and a bit of an uncomfortable feeling but both subsided as soon as they began. This new feeling seriously took my breath away; the tingling sensations that I was used to in one area was happening simultaneously in a new spot! I didn’t know which way to move; all I could do was lay back and enjoy everything that I was experiencing! Two more appendages wrapped around my nipples, gently squeezing and caressing them; another made its way around my clit which only intensified everything!
Everything that happened to me in the past few hours were erased. The only thing on my mind was how to handle this extreme form of pleasure that wavered throughout my body. I sounded off in every way I possibly could as a cooling sensation mixed with the layers of orgasms I found myself having. What made this so bad was that J’onn was going at a slow and steady pace. I was pretty sure that his heart was beating normally while mine felt like it could burst! I wanted to move but he had me firmly in his grasp; the only thing I could do was claw at the air as yet another orgasm leapt out. Nothing could distract me from being brought to the pinnacle of desire… not even my phone ringing. I didn’t even look towards my night stand as my husband’s… uh, ex-husband’s… soon-to-be… you know what? Didn’t give a damn at that moment! I eventually tuned it out and concentrated more on the sounds coming from the Martian. My moans and groans got in sync with his as he drove those tentacles even deeper into me… that’s what I was gonna call them and I didn’t even care! He quickened the motions and I could’ve sworn that they were beginning to moisten. Oh… was he about to…?
I didn’t get a chance to question it. It appeared from nowhere; my orgasm shot out like a cannon! I knew that I was having a series of small and medium ones but this one was the mother-load of orgasms and it came from left field! I cursed and yelled out his name, followed by a stammered attempt to let him know what was happening to me. But he knew; I didn’t know why I wasted my energy to tell him! Another powerful shot of my orgasm exploded through my veins that brought immediate tears to my eyes. When I opened my mouth to say something, only a sob of his name came out.
That… was a first. I had heard the rumors all my life about cumming so hard that you cried; I always thought that it was something that only happened in the movies and those raunchy novels that sparingly laid around in my home! Never did I imagine that it would actually happen. This man, this… Martian had given me so much pleasure that I was literally crying! I couldn’t stop any of it. My body continued to tremble, the tears continued to flow… and I continued to cry out his name. I was so glad that my voice eventually gave out; I was seconds away from confessing everything to him: mainly that I loved him.
When I felt his appendages quiver, along with an approving sound from him, I knew that he just had his own orgasm. I was still panting when he gently lowered me back onto the bed. As he pulled out, I noticed that I was wet… everywhere! Particularly where he had a hold of me. But, I was more worried about calming my heart down and breathing back to normal! That was absolutely draining! His still glowing eyes were one of the last things I remembered seeing as my eyelids became heavy. As much as I wanted to tell him that was the best sex I ever had… and wouldn’t mind having Martian sex more often, my body had other plans! I had just hoped that he noticed the little smile I tried to put on my face before nodding off.

-_-_-_-
Man… this was bad! But I had no other choice. It was my duty as a founding member to tell Supes what happened. I knew that he would hear about it one way or the other so it was ten times better that he heard it from me rather than through the news. Because I was pretty sure that after Mila’s husband collected himself, he would be calling his lawyers! At least Tabby wasn’t fighting this; she somberly agreed that it was the right thing to do.
I had never seen Clark so visibly upset, especially if he wasn’t fighting Luthor! The scary part was that he let me tell the entire story and sat in silence for a moment after I was done! No; when he glared at Tabby was the scariest part!
“What were you thinking when you decided to pay him a visit…?” he slowly asked. Tears made their way down her cheeks; she couldn’t look at him as she shook her head.
“I… I wasn’t…”
“If it wasn’t for Wally, this could’ve turned out completely for the worst!”
“I-I know; I’m sorry!” she started to cry.
“Was anyone injured?” he looked at me. I shook my head.
“They were all a bit rattled but I don’t believe there were any injuries. Serious ones, anyway.” I explained. Clark let out a deep sigh as he nodded.
“This is unacceptable. We have a duty to make sure that civilians can trust us. You have broken that trust. I have no other choice, Tabitha: you’re suspended indefinitely from the League. At least until…”
“Wait; what?! Since when did we stop voting on things like that?”
“Since most of the founding members have a close connection to her. It would be a biased vote. And I believe that I can make a sound decision.”
“We all had a close connection to Shayera and we still did a vote on her punishment! So you’re either saying that you’re not Tabby’s friend or that the rest of us are sheep!”
“Wally… it’s okay…” she put a hand on my arm. It forced me to look at her, “It’s what I deserve…”
“You deserve a fair trial!”
“… It wouldn’t be fair.” she shook her head.
“Wally, would you vote for her to be suspended?” Clark looked at me. I was close to saying no but took the time to think about it. Whoa; they were right. My immediate response was going to be no… all because Tabby was my friend. I mean, it was one mistake! It showed how much she really cared for Jamila and the kids; it wasn’t fair that her husband would react like that!
So… did that mean that I didn’t care more about Jamila? Because going to “have a talk” with her husband never entered my mind. That made me realize our main priority as Justice League members: protect the civilians. No matter how much they pissed us off. Tabitha had broken that rule… and she deserved to be punished. I sighed.
“… I would. I’m sorry, Tabitha.” I gave her a sorrowful look. She only gave me a slight nod as I looked back at Clark, “I just feel that you should give the others the benefit of the doubt and we make that decision fairly!”
“Very well. For you to vote for suspension… I may have assumed prematurely of the others. Tabitha, you’re still suspended unofficially until we make a clear decision. If your attack becomes public, which I feel that it will, it would probably make things a bit easier if everyone knew that you were suspended.”
“I… understand…” her voice broke. Before he could say more, she turned and left the room. I looked at her but put my attention back to Clark.
“This doesn’t mean I’ll stop being her friend! So if you have a problem with that, let me know now!”
“I don’t have a problem with that at all, Wally. She’s going to need as much support as possible right now.”

-_-_-_-
It didn’t alarm me that the room was dark when I opened my eyes. I couldn’t help noticing how much better I felt, as if I had slept for nearly a day! It was as if my being in a drunken stupor never happened.
Of course, I noticed the soreness and the tingling that lingered! It wasn’t a bad soreness, one of those ones that made me not want to get out of bed! Just one that reminded me that I had been, well, basically probed for thirty minutes straight! I blushed at the thought and hoped that he wasn’t in my mind to hear my stereotypical thoughts!
Turning on the light revealed that J’onn didn’t leave me in a puddle of our mess; there were clean sheets and he even cleaned me up yet again: I was in simple shorts and a tee. I was only out for about an hour and a half and of course, he was nowhere to be found; at least not in the room! I grabbed my phone and made my way downstairs.
Just as I thought; he was in the kitchen, making something! That wasn’t my main concern; he immediately looked at me with a small smile.
“You… shape shifted back…”
“I did not think you would prefer my true form.”
“I don’t mind it. You made love to me in your true form…” gah; why did that make me blush so hard, “Think it’s safe to say that it doesn’t bother me!”
“I was worried when you started to cry. I thought that I was gentle…”
“O-O-Oh… that. Uh… that… those weren’t tears of pain…”
“I see.” he continued to look at me. The only thing I wanted to do was kiss him. But, I knew what would happen! We would get purely involved just by one kiss; he would rip my clothes off and I would possibly get tentacled in my damn kitchen! Was… was that even a word? I didn’t think it was but the very thought of it made my toes automatically curl!
I put my attention to what he was making and sighed.
“I have a feeling that you have not eaten anything… and you should eat…”
“Didn’t I tell you I had a burger earlier?!”
“You assumed you had one. Which means, especially in the state that we found you, you didn’t.” he left it at that. The funny part was that he was right. I probably told myself that I had a burger just to make myself feel better about drinking so much.
Before I could stop myself, I approached him. I loved mind readers; he immediately leaned down so that I could kiss him. He always did these types of things. As much as I would roll my eyes at it, I honestly was highly appreciative of every little thing he did for me.
Some things happen for a damn good reason! Because right before we could get into that kiss, right before I could at least stop it and finally let him know that I loved him, my phone buzzed in my hand. I gave him an apologetic look before glaring at the damn thing! Something told me not to ignore it; that and the fact that it scared the shit out of me just gave me this odd feeling that I needed to look at it.
Oh, yeah… I did miss a phone call from my soon-to-be ex while I was busy being reduced to a blubbering mess! The plan was going to be me not returning his call until a few days later after I listened to his voicemail. That in itself should’ve warned me that something wasn’t right; he never left voicemails unless it was absolutely detrimental. My babies. My heart raced as I went into the living room and put in my passcode. Damnit; I should’ve listened to the Martian! There it was, an hour later and he was probably highly irate that I just now got back to him. There went my argument of being a fit mother!
I couldn’t comprehend it all. It didn’t matter that J’onn had a look of concern as I stopped breathing and tried to concentrate on what Albert was yelling about. It sounded like pure chaos on his end; I could’ve sworn that I heard crying as well. W-What? Attack…? I didn’t even hear the knock on my door until I looked up and saw Wally and Tabs. The only thing that I understood clearly was his declaration:
“You can forget about seeing your children ever again!! If I ever see you or… h-h-her or any fucking Justice League member within a hundred feet, I’ll make sure that none of you see the light of day, again!!!”
I could finally hear my heart pounding through my chest. I missed something; I had to. Or, I didn’t hear right. I needed to replay the message. There was no way that he told me that I would never see my children again! I glanced up at my new guests and saw that Tabs wouldn’t look at me. She had her eyes concentrated on the floor and she was shaking slightly. She was… crying. Even Wally could barely look at me; he had a look of remorse.
For some reason, the message was clearer the second time. The first time, I stopped myself from breathing; this time… I simply couldn’t.
“Jamila? What has happened? What’s wrong?” J’onn rushed to me. He switched glances from me to his girlfriend who was no longer trying to hide her tears. My own finally came as I started to tremble. I… I wasn’t going to see my babies… ever again.
“What… did you… do…” I couldn’t even look at her; I suddenly started to feel disgusted. With myself, with her, with… everything.
“D-D-D-Doc… I’m so sorry!” she sobbed. I had hoped that maybe Albert was mistaking. That maybe someone else attacked him and because he was so hell bent on blaming Tabitha for everything, he would blame that on her as well. But those words had done it. She had done it.
“What did you do?!?!” it was the only thing I could think of to say. More tears came from my eyes at a rapid pace. Trying to hold in my sobs started to choke me. The overall feeling made me drop to my knees but I glared at her finally. She still wouldn’t look at me; she started to sob in her hands.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t… think…” she managed. She didn’t think. Whatever else she had to say, I ignored; I was having a hell of a time trying to breathe. Did… did she know about me and J’onn? Was that why she made the decision to take my children away from me? Well, I guess in a sick and fucked up way, it would be the best revenge. I was messing with someone she loved… and in return, she would take away people that I loved.
It was all my fault. I was so concerned about getting a piece of the Martian that I ignored that call. No… it was because I got drunk. I didn’t know. I knew that my thoughts were erratic; the next thought in my mind was what Albert had told me earlier: so long as I was affiliated with the Justice League, I wouldn’t be able to have custody of the children. And now, because of what a Justice League member had done… chances were slim that I would see them ever again. What was I doing; I should’ve left with them. I should’ve cut all ties with Tabitha. I wouldn’t be in the situation where I could hardly breathe and my heart thumped too hard through my chest. My mixed emotions and concerns about why I was having a hard time breathing created a migraine. I should have never became friends… with any of them.
“Get… out…” I barely could say. It felt that I was wasting energy trying to speak; I needed all the air I could take. I needed air but the room started to spin. I couldn’t move; all I could do was kneel on all fours to attempt to get a grip on the moving room.
“Jamila…” I heard J’onn try to calm me down but at that moment, my mind was spinning along with my surroundings; I couldn’t concentrate on where he was.
“GET OUT!!” I didn’t want them there. Something worse would happen if they continued to stay around me. But what? I had already lost my family. Maybe my job. Maybe… my mind. I didn’t know and I didn’t care. I simply didn’t want them around me anymore.
My vision blurred as I continued to try to get full breaths. But I couldn’t. Why couldn’t I breathe?! My heart… it was beating way too fast. It was going to explode. Everything that was dumped on me in the last twenty-four hours was too much. As I heard my door open and close, I looked up. They were gone but everything was spinning too fast. I clutched my chest and tried to calm my heart. But, I couldn’t. Everything… I lost everything. I was a bad mother. I was a bad wife. I was… a bad friend. And so it was fitting that I would die in the middle of my living room, alone. I laid on the floor, the only thing that echoed in my mind was my wheezing and gasping for air. Fuck… why was this happening to me…
