"I-"
"I have faith in you, Jason. Lucy adores you so much. I don't think you see it but she considers you like a brother. She looks up to you."
"She does?"
"Yeah, probably more than me. Neither of us are that good a role model, but you're much better than me."
Violet Pulled over at a gas station then pull out her phone and called clem
(hey I hate to be that person but do you mind making your posts longer and using proper grammar? at least the grammar part? i can handle not much detail but it's not hard to use punctuation and the likes)
Clem didn't hear her phone ring, but it wouldn't have mattered. She didn't have her phone's bluetooth on, and her ringtone was on mute.
Ember had lost interest in the conversation halfway through, fidgeting with her own hands. 'I really hope we get there soon…' Sighing, she looked out the window to watch the night sky fly by. It had to be getting late, they had been out for quite some time at this point.
Violet might have given up if she was a normal person, Violet paused then laughed. She started to call Ember, but she stopped if they in a fight and Clem not answering her phone means if she called Ember it could get them hurt or worse killed. Violet opened a special app to make sure that they weren't in trouble, they are fine but they are moving. Violet put her phone down and started to drive again.
(Bump?)
(she is following you guys.)
(sorry ive been really busy and haven't had time to reply or anything. nothing is coming to mind either)
(It's all good. Do we want to skip until they get there?)
(probably best, if you could do it that would be awesome)
(Sure thing! Give me a couple minutes here, and I'll write up something decent.)
(thank you!!!)
(No problem!)
As they pulled up to Gotham Academy, Ember let out a breath of heavy relief. The ride had been rather agonizing, in Ember's opinion at least, as she had said almost nothing the whole time. Most days, that wouldn't have been a problem, but right now it killed her not to have. Assuming it was because she felt excluded from their secret conversation, she knew nothing about.
Though she always felt left out. Even if her and Clem were close friends, she normally felt ignored whenever she was around. Especially around this group of people. No one cared, she didn't have a big enough personality. No one paid attention to her.
Sucking in one last deep breath, she let it out in a sigh. Ember slid out of the car, as soon as it had stopped, and stood waiting for the others to do the same as she had.
Clem stared at Gotham Academy, with its destroyed walls and decaying surroundings. She couldn't bring herself to move, hand fixed on the hand brake after she pulled it up. Jason placed a hand on hers, snapping the girl out of her thoughts.
"Hey. You're gonna be OK. I'm here. Ember's here. Tim and Dick are here. We're all here for you. We'll get Lucy back."
Slumping down to the ground, she sucked in a deep breath of the musty air. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't completely terrible. The sight of the school, half relaxed her. It was better than the prison at least.
The words Jason had spoken before set her straight. Don't get too comfortable, the building was unpredictable. There wasn't a for-sure chance they'd get out alive tonight, but she sure hoped they did.
"I know. I have to do this. For myself and for Lucy. Dad deserves to be put away. He deserves to die. If I was given the choice between killing my father a thousand times over and terrorising Gotham for a day…I would choose my father."
Ember began to grow impatient, though she wasn't going to pry. It wouldn't surprise her if the two were talking now that she was gone. It felt like they had been talking in code while she was in the car, so as soon as she was gone, they probably started talking freely.
The others were nowhere to be found, so she sat on the sidewalk by herself.
With that, Clem opened her door and got out. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes and then opening them. She could almost hear Joker's laugh echoing through the academy and out of the building, as well as Lucy's screams of terror. Of course, they weren't there.
At seeing Clem out of the car, Ember was up on her feet in a matter of seconds. "Hey," She began in a hum, brushing her figure off. "How are you holding up?" This time she was more careful when she spoke, just so she sounded caring.
Though as mentioned before, she wasn't the best at comforting.
Violet pulls up to Gotham Academy, to see everyone standing outside of the cars. She shuts off her car and puts her phone in her knives purse in a separate pocket away from knives. and gets out of the car seeing her friends. As soon as she gets to the she is hit with dizziness.
(just gonna let you know that it is past tense - i only like present tense if it's first-person and it's not)
"Barely," Clem said truthfully. "But I'll get through it. I have to be strong for Lucy's sake. For Lucy more so than myself. She's more important than I ever could be."
"That's not true, but if it's what gets you through, then that's what gets you through." Ember hummed, holding her arms out for a hug. "As soon as this is done with, you never have to come back."
"Hah, yeah. There was a reason this place was condemned all those years ago. Came as a surprise to many people, but seeing it now there's no doubt why."
Resting her arm on his shoulders, she gave her shoulders a slight squeeze. "Yeah, it's really creepy. Let's go beat the crap out of the creeper lurking inside."
