Saying goodbye (open)
The winter wind had a sharp bite to it and the cold rain made the day that much more miserable. The small canopy set up over the grave site did little ward off the rain. The weather fit Maria's mood perfectly. The graveside service had just wrapped up and the coffin had been lowered into the frozen ground. The other mourners were heading to the warmth of their waiting vehicles.

Maria didn't seem to notice the wind and the cold rain as she stood as still as the many statues that dotted the graveyard. Her mother was dead. Victim of bombing. It happened too close to the breakout at Arkham to be coincidence. Maria knew one of the escapees was responsible, she just had to find out which one.

She stared at the coffin sitting in the ground.

In the back of her mind she knew Bruce and her father were waiting in the car, but she just couldn't move.

There were some thing you couldn't believe until it was right in front of you. This was one of those things. To Keith, he had refused to believe it when somebody told him that his Aunt Helena had died. As much as he knew that nobody joked about those things in his family, he refused to believe it. But today, he watched they lowered the coffin.

It seemed like even the weather wasn't going to give her a break. If anything, Aunt Helena deserved the sun in the sky while she was buried. But no. She was given this dreary, unwelcome weather.

His mother returned to their car. Lucky for Keith, he had an umbrella all to himself. There was something he needed to do before he went back to the car. He walked over to Maria, and used his umbrella to keep the rain from her. Not much he could do about the wind, though.

He was silent the whole time. Maria was his friend, and he couldn't stand to let the rain beat down on her more than this already had.

Eventually Maria came back to the world and started moving. The fact there was an umbrella over her head didn't go unnoticed. She kissed Keith's cheek in thanks.
