After I get settled into my room and perform for the Legion it is time for Dad to go.
"Well, I guess I'd better get going. Have fun Brigid and remember that no matter what happens you will always have a home here with these guys."
We walk out with Dad to the car.
"Right Dad. Take care of yourself, okay?"
"Don't you worry. Everything is going to be alright and I'll be home before you know it."
As he cranks the car and drives away i feel a single tear roll down my cheek.
Oh, God watch over Dad. Please don't let him go and get himself killed.
Just then Timberwolf comes up behind me, picks me up and totes me inside with me struggling playfully.
A couple of weeks later I receive word that Dad went missing after an air raid.
Oh no. Dad! I thought you said you wouldn't get hurt. What am I going to do? I don't know what I'm going to do if you die! Please come home Dad. Please, God don't let him die now.
"Brigid, are you alright," Saturn Girl asks me.
"Yeah, but if it's alright I think I'll go hang out in my room for a while" I respond with my body shaking so much that it feels like a maraca.
I hide my emotions surpisingly well.
"Sure, that's perfectly fine. Just remember if you need anything we're here."
"Right" I say as I turn around and go upstairs to my room.
In my room, I look in the mirror and see myself as white as a sheet with tears rolling down my cheeks. I can't help but think that my Dad was killed by the air raid. Just to help me relax a bit I take out my keyboard and prepare to play "Brothers in Arms" by Celtic Thunder. Just before I start playing Superman knocks on the door.
"Brigid, we have to go out for a while. Are you going to be alright here by yourself?"
"Yes, Superman. I'll be alright. Thanks for letting me know though."
"You know how to contact us if you need something right?"
"Right."
I continue playing and singing.
"These msit covered mountains
are a home now for me
but my home is the low lands
and always will be.
Someday you'll return to
your valleys and your farms
and you'll no longer burn to be brothers in arms."
While playing I remember Dad telling me this is his favorite song and that while he is gone if I start singing this song he will know.
As I play I notice alot of noise coming from downstairs. Knowing that I am supposedly alone at Headquarters I stop playing and get up to go to my nightstand, where I have a communicator, to find out where the Legion is. However, before I can get there the door to my room is ripped open. Upon seeing a tall, male figure with blackish-brown hair and red eyes I start to turn and run to get to my communicator even more urgently. Before I can even turn around completely the man has got a hold on my black hair.
"Who are you? Wh-" Before I can say anymore the man has a pale hand clamped tightly over my mouth. His other hand lets go of my hair and before I can attempt to break away from him, he has grabbed both of my wrists holding them behind me.
He laughs cruelly. I groan, frightenedly trying to free myself from his grasp.
"You might as well give up, girl. We both know which one of us has the advantage here."
