Justice League Porn Story: Winter Storm – Chapter 17

I
smirked at him, I should shower. Ill be in our room.

I
looked back at him, winking playfully, my ring gleaming in the light.
I skipped up the stairs to my room, finding a small box on the bed. I
just walked past it, not really caring as I entered the shower.

I
felt such a high. I couldnt even begin to describe it. I was so
happy. I sang in the shower for the first time in years. I smiled
getting out, and drying off.

I
walked over to my large king size bed, opening the small package. I
lifted out a small envelope, deciding to open that later. I looked
into the box, pulling out a small glass violin. It was perfect. I
lifted the bow from the box as I began to play. It sounded full and
magical. It had a better tone than any violin I had ever played.

I
slipped it back in the box, placing it under my bed. I didnt want
anyone messing with it. I walked to my closet. Whisper entered the
room, Hey, Ales, were on patrol tonight.

I
nodded, Yeah, I heard that Dad is taking the night off, and giving
it to Frank and me. So, you are coming too.

She
smirked, Someone has to keep Frank from hurting himself.

I
laughed. Frank would do something like thathurt himself instead of
the villain, Im glad to have you along. I was just getting
ready.

I
slipped on my leather pants and red tank top. I sighed, sitting on
the bed and looking down at my mask. It had been three years since I
had done this. I wasnt sure I was ready. I took a deep breath
slipping the mask on.

Whisper
smiled, I love the mask too.

I
tilted my head at her, What?

She
smiled and nodded, The maskI love it. It hides all our
failings. People see us as the strong protectors of Gotham in our
colorful costumes and masks. When truthfully, we are just as
vulnerable and frightened as they are.

I
laughed a little, We are the children that still play superhero.
We feel big in the costume with the cape, but we are still just
children, trying to make up for our mistakes.

Whisper
took a deep breath, Or, trying to make up for the things that we
just couldnt help.

I
looked down, You really understand me, Whisper.

She
shrugged, leaving my room, Perhaps.

I
hated this. I pulled out the card from the violin. I opened the
envelope, reading the note, Ales, Im sorry to send a gift like
this, but I just got away. I didnt die in that car crash. It was
all just a ploy of Isaacs to take me away. Ive been through
pain, and now, Im in hiding. I guess I want to say that Im
sorry, but I did make you into something great.

I
tossed the note on the floor. I highly doubted that I would ever play
that violin again. I didnt want her to be alive. I hoped that it
was all just some sick joke. I decided to ignore it. Maybe then, it
would all go away. I walked down the stairs into the cave. Whisper
and Frank were waiting for me.

As,
we climbed in the Bat-mobile, Caspian jumped in, Did you honestly
think I would let you fight alone?

I
smirked. It was good to know that he always had my back, No, I
knew youd be right here with me.

It was cold in Gotham like always. Snow fell to the ground, covering
the streets. I sat on the edge of the roof, leaning on a gargoyle. I
watched couples passing by holding hands. I finally understood their
bliss. I understood what it was like to be in love.

I turned to look at Caspian. He smiled, wrapping his arms around me
to protect me from the cold. Everything was so still until an alarm
went off down the street. A robbery was in progress. I jumped off the
building, running down the street. I caught I single glance at the
thief.

She was tall and slender. Her blond hair came down to her hips. She
looked at me with such vibrant blue eyes. I knew who she was,
Allison!!!

I screamed her name trying to catch her, but she outran me. I
suddenly felt a stabbing pain in my side. I looked down to see a
pearl dagger embedded into my side. There was a note attached, Stop
trying to be the hero, Ales. You are kidding yourself if you think
that anyone can look past your scar.

I wasnt going to let her get to me this time. I had to be
stronger. Frank was at my side in an instant. He pulled so gauze from
his belt wrapping the wound, Ales, maybe you should go home.

I shook my head. I knew where I belonged, No, I can still catch
her.

I would never give up. I couldnt let her get away. I kept fighting
the part of me that wanted revenge. I couldnt let her hurt anyone
else. That is why I wanted to catch her. But, there was a part of me
that wanted her to understand my paina part of me that wanted to
make her suffer.

I finally stopped running. It was no use. She was gone. I would
probably never see her again. I looked behind me, running into
Caspian, Did you find her?

I didnt want to tell him, but I knew that I should, No, Allison
got away.

He looked away, You must want to kill her. I mean she made you who
you are.

I had often felt this way, but for once it angered me, I made me.
I worked hard to be strong. Im not saying she had nothing to do
with who I am. Thanks to her, I intend to live making sure that
people like her go down.

Caspian wiped my tears away, Im glad that you are who you are.
I love you.

I smiled at him, I love you too.

It was cold in that alley. It was hardly the most ideal place to
spend Christmas. The night was getting colder. Anyone else would want
to go inside, but we werent anyone else. We fought for so many
reasons. My father always said he fought because of his parents, but
truthfully, I think there was another reason. I think that we all
fight to try and regain something. I dont think its honor or
pride, but our innocence. The world slowly steals it from us, and we
become corrupt.

I know that my father fights to make sure that no child ever suffers
his fate. I guess I wanted the same thing, but I wanted more than
that. I wanted to make sure that I never became what Allison was to
me. I fought against darkness to assure that I would never stray to
far from the light.

But, I always had Caspian, my light house, to bring me back to my
safe haven of rest. When I was with him, I no longer sailed the wild
seas, but lazily floated on the water. Everyday with him was like
walking on air, on sunshine, on water. I felt so light and free.

Sometimes, I felt as thought my curse had been liftedlike I was no
longer the beast. The lamb had fallen in love with the lion. We were
light and darkness, but we made the universe whole. We made each
other whole.

Caspian pulled me closer to him. He gently kissed the mark on my
neckthe mark that defined me as him. No, the mark didnt define
me. I defined it.

He softly kissed my neck, dipping me down like he did when we had
danced earlier. I gasped as he once again took my breath away, I
love you, mon ange.

I
smiled as the snow continued to fall around us. It was a beautiful
moment, but even now, crime never takes a break. Neither could we.
Perhaps, winter wasnt the most peaceful time of year.

Maybe,
there was never a peaceful time of year. Frank smiled at me, wrapping
an arm around Whisper whose bright green eyes were filled with warmth
and love. Caspian gently kissed my forehead pulling me closer to
protect me from the cold.

So
maybe, there were no peaceful seasons. Hatred never stopped. But,
moments like this made the fight worth whilethe fight to regain
our innocence. Maybe, the fight wasnt so worthless after all
because it wasnt really a single battle or even a war.

Life
was journey to be traveled. Life was a song to be sung. Living was
about more than winning, being whole, or being perfect.

Pain
was something to be carried, but I knew now that I didnt have to
hide it. There were some who would judge, but others would
understand.

I
knew three things for certain: I loved Caspian, I would be okay
eventually, and I would make it through lifes many journeys as
long as I stood each time I fell.

I
smiled, arching my neck in complete trust to give Caspian full
access, I love you, ma lumire dans l’obscurit

Experience,
which destroys innocence,
also leads one back to it.
