"Wait." He said getting hold of her cape knowing what woul dhappen if he grabbed her wrist. "If you keep blowing up like that every time someone mentions tim's name your going to put one of your freinds or team mates in the hospital. Just feel glad i've trained as hard as you for as long as you."

"You just don't get it, do you." She clenched her fist and furrowed her brow, using the voice that was sure to give ANY man the willies. "You don't undertand."

"I understand perfectly." He growled the voice batwoman used went beyond 'the voice' but that he had actually gotten used to through being around members of the batclan so often so all this did was unnerve him but he wasnt about to shut up. "You keep moping aorund like your the ONLY person who's lost someone. whose had tragidy in their life. Newsflash: YOUR NOT! let me fill you in on what happened to saiyaman. before he came to our world one of his best freinds killed his fiancee he arrived in time to watch her die no ealier no later. he has scars from battles he's been in just the same as me. But do you or i have a scar from when a man put a HAND through your chest? NO! and me? look at all these scars! and remember chance? remember what he's done before? all the people he killed? well he also managed to find out im adam honshi and do you know what he did? he tried to murder my whole family. My mother, my grandfather and my sister! he shot may, burned down grandpa's dojo but my mother. He actually killed her because he did it himself!" It was the first time in a long time anyone heard him yelling. "AND LETS TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IT DID TO ME!" he motioned to all of the scars on his chest and hands as he rolled up a pant leg pointing to a circular wound on his shin. "I MET UP WITH HIM AGAIN BUT I LET MY ANGER RULE MY FIGHTING! THATS WHAT HAPPENED NOT TO MENTION THE MONTH BEFOREHAND WHEN I WAS SENDING CRIMINALS TO THE HOSPITAL ALMOST BEAT TO DEATH FOR NO REASON! BUT THIS WOUND HERE! HE SHOT ME IN THE LEG AND NEARLY CRIPPLED IT! DO YOU KNOW WHO HELPED ME REHABILITATE IT?! TIM AND MY GRANDFATHER! SO DONT YOU DARE ACT LIKE YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHOSE EVER LOST SOMEONE, LIKE YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS AFFECTED BY TIMS DEATH. DONT YOU DARE."

Rachael raised a hand to slap him,but stopped herself. Her eyes started to grow red with tears and she felt another lump come to her throat, only, this time, she wasn't able to keep it down. She felt her face begin to grow red and look of anger turned to one of deep sorrow. She froze. Her hand still in mid-air.

"Y'know some times it takes more courage to cry then it does to bottle your emotions." He said using a phrase his grandfather once told him as he gently lowared her hand back to her side.

No. Not now She felt her lower lip begin to tremble and she pressed it against her upper one in an attempt to get it to stop. you haven't cried since the day he died. Don't do it now. It's a sign of weakness.
But she failed the voice that told her she daren't cry and crumpled to the floor in a heap, crying and sobbing for the first time in months. Tears flowing freely in streams down her cheeks.

" 'sall right ra-batwoman." he said sitting next to her. "Actually i did the same when my mother was killed, at her funeral and for a few days afterwards. its not a sign of weakness to cry. its a sign of humanity."

Then why the heck did it make her feel so vunerable? She wondered to herself, afraid that now that she started the water works, she wouldn't be able to stop them.
"I thought I could do it, darnit. I thought I could at least be strong for Skyla, for the team. But I couldn't even be strong fo Tim. He died because of ME! He died trying to protect ME!" She continued to cry and sob, wrapping her own arms around herself as she did so.

"No man...person...is an island." Adam says trying to sound soothing. "everyone needs help and theres no shame in asking for it. and although this probably doesnt make you feel better...everyone chooses their own path to walk."

She stopped her sobbing, but the tears still flowed. "He-he told me not to think it was my fault but--but I still feel like I could have DONE something. He shouldn't have died trying to protect me--espicialy after I tried to keep his own daughter a secret from him after all these years because of my own selfishness and fear of rejection....He deserved better."

She sat indian style on the fighting mat still holding her cape around her figure as if it was a comforting blanket. "I still miss him." She sniffed."And everyones just weanting me to move on and act 'normal.' But--I can't. I'm just not ready." She couldn't ever remember feeling so small.

"I can almost understand your feelings. My mother died but you, you lost the person you loved." He said shacking his head. "and im not trying to ask you to be 'normal'...hell in this group i dont think 'normal' is in anyone's vocabulary..." He said trying to lighten the mood with a joke. "but what i am asking is that you try to lead us. your the one best suited for the job. But im willing to help however i can."

"Thanks Adam," She wiped her eyes on her sleeve. "Your a good friend, you know that?"
