Starfire's words sparked a new discussion, but I wasn't paying much attention anymore, since I was deep in thought.
On the one hand, I have to meet Doctor Fate, and if the Young Justice follows the plot, even partially, they would come across the helmet of Doctor Fate.
On the other hand, if I wanted to join a hero team wouldn't the Justice League be better?.
'But being away from a certain caped crusader would make my job easier'.
I focused again as I saw the heated discussion it was more or less only Starfire and Batman but it does still count.
"What you mean friend pink not allowed to leave?!" Starfire said as she floated to Batman's face with a pout and slight confusion.
Batman didn't seem interested in explaining as he answered.
"Her situation is complex"
"What is that supposed to mean?" I said with my own annoyed look as I stepped closer still drinking from the straw.
"It means you are dangerous" he answered without hesitation as he gave me the bat glare.
I looked down at him as I answered with my own glare as I said "I could say the same about most of the so-called heroes in the league "
I cut him off from answering as I said "You are not the trusting kind you are paranoid"… as I smirked and decided to use my human knowledge to mess with him.
"But you are not as difficult to understand as you like to believe let me guess you already have plans for everyone here aren't you?…so stop lying to yourself bats it isn't me that is dangerous in your eyes simply everything is dangerous….I am willing to bet you even have plans against yourself "
I was answered by a him giving me a real bat glare this time…I will admit this one had a small effect on me but I wasn't going to show it.
"Hmmm? Seems I hit a nerve….. see big guy? It took me less than a week to guess something right about you…. Do you want me to give it more tries? I am sure I can guess more"
As I took a long second to finish my drink making sure to make the slurping sound of the straw as high as possible.
'Ragebaiting is one of my skills'
The silence from everyone was deafening I didn't know if it was because I am right or because no one talks to the bat like that.
Superman stepped between us with his hand on each of our shoulders…or more accurately Batman's shoulder I was slightly too tall for that but his intentions were obvious.
"Alright you both that is enough and pink that wasn't necessary"
I would have given a sarcastic remark but I refrained from doing so I owed that much to big blue …But that doesn't mean I was not about to complain.
"Well your friend wants to keep me in the tower until his obviously mentally challenged self decides I am allowed to go for a walk and even then he would ask someone to keep a collar on me so I won't bite anyone "
'I didn't think you were so traumatized in your staying here from what I heard you seemed to be quite happy living in the cafeteria ' As he looked at my drink.
"Well I heard that you pay for everything so I decided to indulge in organic food…oh and for the record, I don't need to eat or drink but I appreciate your generosity"
"Hmmm so your cell in the future won't need such things …..good to know"
"And your cell would need a psychiatrist " I answered back as invisible lightning flashed between our glare for a second.
At this point, Starfire decided to intervene as she pulled me back and Superman flew between us as he said "Batman she has a point you can't expect her to stay in the tower forever"
"But pink you also have to understand that your situation is very complicated at the moment"
Which earned a raised eyebrow from me.
'Why do I feel a strange sense of dread'
( 2 hours later)
[Pink diamond(Mc) POV.]
'I am going to die!'
My situation was in fact not complicated it was terrible! Very very terrible!
First and foremost the people did not in fact ignore me quake punching the capital of the United States of America.
So currently a number of people demand that I get punished for my actions and the government is feeding those people since well….They very much didn't like me punching most of their capital away as well.
Thankfully a lot of cameras and even witnesses saw me healing victims of the quake…so some people think I am a Disney princess heart or something.
Their thought process is that I am an alien who woke up on earth in the Cadmus facility and used excessive force to break out but as the pure-hearted being that I am I regretted my actions when I broke free and realised that there was a city above me.
While some part of the population is not even caring about me since many and I mean many diplomats and politicians are being sued for treason..why you ask?
Simple Cadmus yeah Batman did in fact expose everything he is going in a sort of an all-out war with the government showing everything to everyone from the human experimentation and many terrifying acts that all happened with the approval of those in power.
Since the government didn't approve of his way of dealing with Cadmus from the roots …he is rooting the government as well at this point it may be easier to just throw all of the USA government to prison and appoint a new or temporary one to be honest.
And one of the experiments that he showed to the public was my diamond prison before I came here…and oh boy there was even a video where they used a drill I don't know if my diamond is this resilient or simply some universal power wanted to make sure I arrive here.
The disadvantage?….well all the planet now knows that my diamond is my real form.
The advantages are that a lot of people seeing the evidence of my imprisonment started supporting my panic attack….especially since I helped the victims of my attack afterwards.
Now the other problem is I am now the most precious wanted on the planet WHY?
Because apparently showing magical tears that can save and cure anything except death.…Is not that great of an idea!
Every lap on the planet wants a few drops from my tears and every sick person with terminal disease that watched the videos of me helping those on the verge of death at Washington, D.C. wants a tear to be able to live and their families want it for their sick loved ones.
A few presidents/tyrants started looking at my tears as a miraculous cure to rule for decades more.
Some ruthless people are demanding that I surrender myself for the greater good or for the Justice League to force me to make more tears!.
How could I possibly cry enough! All the planet wants my tears and according to Superman there are many influential people willing to give anything for them.
In short in the eyes of all of humanity, I am a walking miracle that should be protected and used for my precious tears.
I am not joking none of the bounties on me had the world dead or even harmed…what idiotic person would harm the only source of the miraculous cure/pink tears after all?
'The consequences of my actions...Thank god none of them know that my spit works just the same ' As I felt a shiver up my spine.
And the funniest of all? My beautiful diamond you know…the part that is not very important to me is fact now within the eyes of humanity as well.
Why? Well because some super hacker or something stole my data from Cadmus during the collapse….and there was A big mention how my diamond has infinite energy…..INFINITE CLEAN ENERGY.
For the world that meant reduction in nuclear waste and advancing technology on another level…
Which caused many kind-hearted people including scientists from around the world to love to give my diamonds some minor tests to discover the secrets of infinite energy.… Yeah, my diamond my not-so-important source of life it's not like I would die or anything.
'Not happening!'
'I am not a selfish person or at least I like to think so I mean once I started my gem empire I wouldn't mind giving a few tears to some of my gems or more accurately to replicate and then I could help Earth….But I was a human and humanity is not that great so let me make it clear no one will ever touch my diamond'
'No one!'
I could try to look at it from a more positive angle for instance I am quite sure I can offer my tears for some magical favours…..which means Doctor Fate isn't my only option now and I have in fact decided to approach Zatara with it soon nothing serious just a magical favour for a tear bottle.
'If he refused I could always mention how his daughter would be much safer if she had that bottle of tears with her'
'Alright that thought process felt wrong'
"Hey pink you alright?" I looked to the side seeing Captain Marvel looking at me concerned.
I looked down at my lap seeing lion giving me his own concerned look.
As I looked up as I said "I am great why are you asking?"
"Your ehh…diamond has been flashing lights and you looked troubled…. Are you sure you are okay?"
"Of course, why would I not be okay it's not like half of the human race wants my head on a spike or anything like that! "
"Hey hey! Look your tears are important I get it and you used them to help a lot of people including me….But if anyone tries to force you to do anything you can tell me!"
As he struck a stupid heroic pose.
"I am a hero after all!"
"And Flash and Superman….and maybe Batman I am not quite sure that he is on the same page he can be very confusing sometimes "
He joked a few times and only left after making me laugh.
'How the might have fallen…to think I need a kid to protect me'
'FINE!.. If anyone even thinks of playing with me I will show them what an angry diamond can do….if they come after me then there will be no mercy'
'And I can't wait much longer I need to meet zatara I need that time magic and He Is going to give it to me!'
'Or I hope that is'
As I stood up and started walking to the cafeteria I stopped as someone teleported to my face.
'Do you have a minute'
It was obvious what Raven wanted to talk about but my mind had only one thought…
'She should have a time magic grimoire …or any sort of magical artifacts that are related to time right?.
'I hope yes '
