    Her smile ? She could keep it for herself, because in this moment there was no way sheâd indulge in letting her soften or sweet talk her. She literally trapped her into that stupid situation.    â I did ! You could have just let me go ! instead⌠youâre acting like Iâm a complete criminal ! â    & Zeeâs words resounded in her mind again & again ; she didnât want to hurt her. But she couldnât just let her control her either.    â You guys donât need me. â    That was the truth, she felt like it was the actual truth. Dinahâs voice broke, but the sobs didnât clutter her throat to let her speak freely. Her hold loosened from the brunette, & she back off as far as she could, considering she was still cuffed with one hand with her. Her canary cry happened to be uncontrollable & the last event was still haunting her. People died because of her ; collateral damages yeah, call it whatever you want, but still people with names. A few children too⌠she memorized the names. Just so she wouldnât forget.    â Iâm not a monster, Zee⌠I swear⌠I didnâtâŚâ   She frowned, trying to hold back her tears,    â I didnât mean to kill themâŚÂ âÂ
Zee knew she was not the best at making moral choices. She tried, followed a strict set of rules when it came to her magic and she still somehow managed to throw her compass out the window when she felt like more was needed to be done. Add in someone she cared about and Zee was hopeless. âI am not treating you like a complete criminal. I would not handcuff myself to a complete criminal. Just not someone who is thinking completely rationally.â The joke feels flat even to her ears. To Zee, Dinah had always been so confident. She could take on anyone in a fight, stand next to Wonder Woman and Batman without batting an eyelash and still look gorgeous even after a brutal fight. Or maybe it was because she had been half in love with the Black Canary since the first time she had seen her. She wanted to wrap her arms around Dinah, âWe need you. I need you. Someone has to remind me to keep going even when all you can see is darkness.â And everyone knew she had turned her back on this world more than once. It was only when she was dragged back in that she came back. âItâs like when you get injured, you just need to heal first. For you and them.â Zee closed her eyes and took a deep breath. âNone of us think of you as a monster. Youâve watched me do unforgivable things, to people I love and hate. My own magic has gotten out of control.â Never to the extent, it had with Dinahâs canary cry but it had come close. She had nearly destroyed the world in her own arrogance. âHeal first, Lets both of us go somewhere. We can relax, remind ourselves that there are other ways to be a hero or anything, but please whatever you do, rely on us.â
