What the hell happened?
(Takes place a week after this post)

Morgaine woke up in a strange place, not knowing where she was or how she got there.

The last thing she remembered was just running after the League's compound had exploded. She had gotten into the car that had been provided for her and Damien, hot-wired it, and just drove. She drove until the car ran out of gas, and then she ditched it and ran as far as she could.

And then she had passed out in an alley somewhere, not caring to know where she was.

And now...she was in a hotel somewhere, her wounds stitched up, her head throbbing.

Someone had to have to gotten her here, but who? Her brother was dead, and her mother probably was either dead or at the mercy of her grandfather.

She heard someone moving around in the bathroom.

"Where am I?" It hurt to sit up, but she tried.

	"And what condition is that?" Morgaine asked, lying back down, as it hurt too much to sit up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"When this is all over, I ask that you give serious thought to leaving the League altogether. You can still be anyone you want, Morgan. You don't have sign your life into killing for money or because someone else wants you to." Robert says. "Just think about it. That's all I'm asking." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have no purpose to go back to the League after we kill Ra's," Morgaine said. "I am not fit to the life of the Demon's Head. It is not for me. My cousin can have it, if he lives. I will go quietly without protest and never bother him. Or my brother's bodyguard can have it, if he lived." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Robert nods at Morgan's assessment of the situation. Nothing further needed to be said.

"All right, I'll help you. But you need to give yourself a few days to rest, Morgan. You were in bad shape for a bit there and it's not going to do you any good to drop dead from some illness that you don't know you have." he tells her.

"You can take the bedroom and I'll take the couch, like we did before. I'll get us some food in a bit." he says.

	"I will rest," she said, taking a hold of his arm. "If you will help me numb the pain." She couldn't believe what she was suggesting. Again. But she didn't care about that right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robert nods, thinking it over. "I'll help you with the pain." he says, taking her hand. He'll help her up and lead her to the bedroom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A couple hours later, as they lay in bed together, Morgaine stared at the ceiling. "I need to go to Star City," she stated simply. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2011-03-28 11:25 am UTC (link)
	"What's the plan, there?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2011-03-28 11:29 am UTC (link)
	"Lian Harper," she said. "I need to warn her that Ra's is coming for her and her children. Damien...he would have wanted them to be safe. I can offer her my protection, though I doubt she'd want it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2011-03-28 12:05 pm UTC (link)
	Something about that name was familiar to Robert, though he wasn't sure why. Still, if she thinks it's necessary, then it needs to be done. "She was important to Damien. You're kind to look out for her like that." he says, turning his head to look at her. "So, did you have anyone else backing you up on this or were you planning on going back alone?" he asks.

"It's not so much my being kind as Damien would not want to see his children fall into Ra's' hands." She said, her face hardening.

"I will likely have to go alone," she said. "I don't know who else in the League survived. Though I will need to be quiet about it. The League isn't exactly welcome in Star City, and Lian Harper's friends will think that I am there to do her harm. They won't listen to reason, the idiots."

	"I meant against the League, but Star City won't be too much of a problem. I can help you get in and out safely. I need to make contact with some people, but I can get you help with both." Robert offers. "Ra's will pay for what he's done to you." Robert says. "We'll get your mother out, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you want the truth or what I'm telling myself to get through the day?" Robert asks, shifting to stare up at the ceiling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2011-03-28 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	"I can handle the truth, Robert Queen," Morgaine said, shifting to lie on her side and look at him. "I am not so fragile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"There are lots of truths, but the main one is that you numb the pain, Morgan. I'm not saying you're a replacement for Jane. That's an insult to you both.

But I said we were a lot alike before. You and I understand things about each other that no one else I care about does. Devotion to siblings that were deemed more important than us from the day we were born. Fathers that cast us aside. Mothers that allowed us to be turned into weapons.

I want to say that helping you helps me, but that's not true. Helping you helps you, and I'm willing to do that. And maybe, deep down, I'm trying to help to make up for what I took from you. If you get a real life out of that, then maybe I'll get one, too." Robert finishes.

"I should have picked an easier answer." he grouses.

	Morgaine was silent for a long moment. "No. I asked for the truth and you gave it to me." Another pause, and Morgaine found herself saying something she never normally said. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2011-03-28 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	"You're welcome." Robert says, looking over to her again. Someday, he would look back on this and wonder what happened that led them here. She'd tried to kill him twice, and he tried to do the same to her. Yet, here they were. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2011-03-28 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	There was a long silence. She was supposed to be trying to kill him. That's what they were supposed to be doing. They weren't supposed to be having almost heart-to-heart talks...and he wasn't supposed to offering to help her, either, and she wasn't supposed to be taking his offer. Though she wasn't objecting to the sex. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2011-03-28 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	The sex is definitely a perk. "How are you feeling?" Robert asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2011-03-29 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"Better than I was an hour ago." Pause. "The sex helps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2011-03-29 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"I agree." he says, smirking a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"When should we leave?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2011-03-29 01:12 am UTC (link)
	"Give me a few hours to get in touch with some people and I can tell you when." Robert says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2011-03-29 01:31 am UTC (link)
	Morgaine nodded. "Okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)
