Between Heaven and Hell

[Wonder Woman]

Winter didn't hug back she barely moved as she spoke in a monotone voice "I-I should get cleaned up" she walked to the bathroom and closed the door locking it.


James had gotten tired of waiting and went into the ampartment and saw blood on the wall "Zero?! Where's winter is she hurt?! Who did you kill?!"

 

[Zero Drakos]

She's fine just a bit shaken. I didn't kill anyone. She killed Connor he fell and was about to kill the baby.

 

[Wonder Woman]

James knocked on the bathroom door "Winter open up..." After she didn't he looked at Zero "Winter hates killing. More than anything in the world, she's not emotionally capable of handling killing."

 

[Zero Drakos]

Zero unlocked the bathroom door and closed it behind him. Come her. Zero said as he held her and wrapped his enormous soft wings around her. It's ok he kept saying to her.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter still was covered in blood losing her will to clean up. "I-i killed"

 

[Zero Drakos]

It's ok. Zero said as he turned on the shower.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter just kept repeating "I killed" over and over

 

[Zero Drakos]

Zero kissed her. Look at me. You're ok. You don't have to be scared. The first time is always the hardest.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter looked up and him tears running down her cheeks running through some of the blood making her tears red

 

[Zero Drakos]

Zero took a rag and started wiping the blood off her face. It's ok he said.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter nods letting him wipe her face, her hands were firmly planted on her belly

 

[Zero Drakos]

Don't worry. He's fine. Zero said as he held her hand.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter finally began to cry "he almost killed my baby" her body shook blood from her hands covering her body now "He held a knife to my baby"

 

[Zero Drakos]

He's gone now. It's ok he took his wing and wiped the blood off her belly and hands.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter continued to cry "I could've lost our baby" she leaned into him her knees getting weak with the fear

 

[Zero Drakos]

No you wouldn't have. Zero wrapped his wings around her. Sh Sh Sh. It's ok. Just calm down. What's done is done.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter nodded "I-I need to get cleaned up... And I'll clean up all the blood in the house too..." She was still shaking

 

[Zero Drakos]

No. You take a nice warm shower and James and I will clean the house.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter nodded numbly and turned facing the shower and staring at the running water almost frozen in place. Her motivation to get undressed and into the shower was next to none.

 

[Zero Drakos]

What's wrong? Zero asked as he was about to go clean up.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter was silent, she could hear him but she couldn't respond emotionally. All of her will was gone.


James opened the bathroom door and saw his sister, he had seen this before "I'll clean the house ok? Help winter shower and clean up." He patted Zeros shoulder lightly before backing out and closing the door

 

[Zero Drakos]

Come here. He said as he carried her into the shower. Doesn't that feel better. Zero said as the warm water soaked them both. He turned her around and held her close wrapping his soft wings around her and the warm water soaked them both.

 

[Wonder Woman]

James began scrubbing the walls and floors getting rid of the blood left.


Winter watched as the blood from her hair and clothes mixed with the water and it went red going down the drain. She gave Zero a slight nod of acknowledgement to his question.

 

[Zero Drakos]

Look at me. He said in quiet and soft voice.

 

[Wonder Woman]

Winter moved her head up and looked at zero, she was a mess. Tear stained cheeks and blood shot eyes. Her face had no emotions on it expect for emotional exhaustion
