She sat slumped at the mahogany desk, elbows propped onto the edge and hands kept together holding a pale picture frame. Her auburn hair was pulled up into a messy bun, and her freckles became even lebih obvious with only the light of a three-wick candle in the corner of the desk. A pained smile was formed on her face, and stained tears to match.
There was a knock at her bedroom door. She quickly and quietly tried shoving the picture into a drawer, but accidently leaving a corner of it sticking out and therefore the drawer only partially-closed.
Another knock.
“Bella?”
“Uh, yeah- come in!”
He walked in, wearing grey sweatpants and his signature black v-neck tee.
“Just checking to see if anda were here. anda okay?”
“Yeah, yeah,” She wiped away what tears she could with the end of her sleeve, “just thinking.”
“It’s almost 3 in the morning…About what?” He walked over to sit on her bed.
There was a pause, and she looked at him with a sigh. “Do anda think it was a mistake, me leaving the team?” He cocked his head slightly, shifting his position on her bed. “No. Do you?”
“I mean, at the time it seemed like the right idea. And it still does- but I just feel bad, anda know? I mean, they-“ Her voice softened “…they think I’m dead.”
“But the fact is, you’re not. You’re right here, with people who care about anda instead of just using anda because anda can spew fire.”
“I know that, E. I just- anda know!” She groaned out of frustration and propped her elbow up onto the table, resting her chin on the bahagian, atas of her fist.
The two sat there, in silence, for several minutes. E yawned and berkata hesitantly, “Bella, I have a meeting in-“ he checked his phone, “-4 hours. So, unless anda really think anda want me he-“
“No, no. anda go get your sleep. I had 3 cups of coffee a little while ago, so I’ll be awake for a while. Maybe I’ll go for a run atau something, but anda should rest.”
He stumbled off of her katil and passed sejak her. When at the door, E turned and the glare that the glass frame and the candle had produced caught his attention, “What’s that?”
“What’s what?”
“This.” He slid open the drawer and pulled out the picture frame with the photo.
“Oh, yeah. It’s-“
“It’s the frame I gave anda for your birthday.”
“Yeah, that it is.” Bella gave a soft chuckle, “But it’s not like I was going to fill it with a foto of you. I see anda every day.”
She took the picture from his hands and stared at it a moment before speaking again. “Well, that’s Artemis,” She used her index finger and pointed her out. “Then there’s me- well, obviously.”
E laughed, “Digging the bright orange hair.” As Bella had when she first joined the team. Bella gave an embarrassed blush.
“And then that’s Kaldur.” She gave a quiet sigh, but quickly brushed it off. “Then Robin jumping in behind us.” Bella motioned to the small boy behind the three who seemed to have just barely been tall enough to be seen. “M’Gann and Conner talking in the background; and that whole orange-ish blur over the picture? That’s Wally.” She gave a quick laugh, “He made it out of the dapur just in time to see us take the picture, so he tried to sertai in but overshot the distance sejak a bit.”
Red yawned, “That’s great. Well, see anda when I get back.” He gave her a pat on the shoulder; “Make sure to blow out the candle before anda go to bed. I don’t want two api, kebakaran hazards in this apartment.” She smiled. “Yeah.”
The door closed, and Bella propped the foto up in the corner of her desk. Without looking away from it, she quickly blinked, as the api, kebakaran seemed to blow itself out.
