Never. Thatās canon. - NO LONGER ACCEPTING
@dementedspeedsterāĀ
āIāll give points for finding me. Unless, you just grid searched the city, thatās cheating.ā It took awhile to ditch the handful of agents that were tailing her. Joey always had a sway on them. She knows he just worried. That shouldnāt be his burden.
āWant a drink?āĀ Adeline offered out the whiskey bottle. She doesnāt think it would do much physically to a speedster, but it feels rude not to offer.
āItās my fault, you know.ā Everyone kept telling her it wasnāt. But they didnāt know. Not really. Not even JOEY knew the whole truth. āGrant was away at military school when a mercenary kidnapped Joey. He wanted a contact name from āDeathstrokeā. Sladeās pride almost cost Joey his life, and DID cost him his voice.ā Even enhanced reflexes werenāt enough to stop the knife from sliding across their sonās throat. She still wakes up, crying, clutching her hands around blankets like it was Joeyās throat.
āBut I didnāt have the will to tell Grant about Sladeās involvement.ā Why? She was so mad at Slade she shot him. She still was furious, but maybe she wanted someone to be mad at her too. āHe ended up idolizing āDeathstrokeā, not knowing it was his father. HIVE must have seen the desperation. They tried to synthesize a serum from Sladeās blood. To try and replicate his abilities.ā Everyone wanted power. Taking a long drink from the bottle, Addie stared at the name in stone.
āWant to know a secret?Ā Thereās nothing there. The serum ravaged through his body and didnāt leave anything left to bury.ā Something about his body rejecting it she thinks. āBut I didnāt know what to do. I wanted some kind of closure, so we still did the funeral. Just closed casket.ā It didnāt help her grief.Ā
āI donāt know what Iām doing. Itās childish to have run off and drink myself into a stupor just over a tech bug.ā Thatās what Searchers said it was.Ā āFor some reason my security system glitched. It said Grant had scanned into the building.āĀ
