I tapped my foot rapidly as we flew home.What were they going to think?Could I trust them?They could always betray me like a lot of other people.

Though as those thoughts raced through my head, that only made me more nervous.Bart occasionally looked over to check on me but I could tell he was avoiding me.

Then again,I had almost jeopardized the mission by doing something stupid.After that,I couldn't blame him.How was I ever going to explain this to them?If I do,I will never be trusted on a mission again.If I don't,I will never be allowed on a mission again.

See my point?Why can't decisions ever be easy?The ship landed and I was awakened from my thoughts.I walked in behind them with my hands in my hoodie.I was slightly looking at the floor as we met up with Aqualad.

"Just saw it on the newscast.Great work team.Im assuming everything went as planned?"He asked.Tigeress casted an angry glance at me.

"Until someone decided to go solo."She said angrily.I stared at the floor even harder.Aqualad looked at me.

"What was the complication?"

I looked up.All I wanted now was to turn into a fox and run away.I silently inhaled deeply.

"It was nothing.I just saw a prisoner and made sure he didn't get away.I didn't mean to cause any complications."I said silently hoping they would believe me.Aqualad looked at me suspiciously but before he could comment,his com went off.He put his hand to his ear and went silent for a few seconds. 

"Every inmate was accounted for except one.I believe his name was Simon Rwen."My blood chilled over my body.Everyone looked at me.Any chance of not telling them was gone now.What BeastBoy said next just made it worse.

"Wait, 'Rwen'?Isn't that your last name.......oh."Everyone went silent.Tears threatened to fill my eyes but I fought the urge.They weren't tears of sadness,they were tears of frustration.Why did this have to be me?Why was I saved by that stupid fox?My head snapped up.I knew they were waiting for an explanation.

"He's my dad, okay?Is that what you want to hear?I saw him and I..I just couldn't...."I shook my head.Having fox DNA made my senses sensitive.I felt like I could hear them staring at me.I clenched my fists to my side.Bart was the first one to speak.

"Caitie,I'm sorry."And though he looked liked he was about to say something else,he was cut off by Tigeress.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"Because, I haven't exactly had to chance to tell you that MY DAD IS INSANE!"I answered, my voice slightly raising at the end.Everyone went silent.

"Just.....forget it."I stormed off down the hallway.Surprisingly,no one followed.I shut my door behind me and flopped onto my bed.I don't need their pity.Thats exactly why I didn't tell them.

I draped my hand over my face and sighed.A few moments passed before I heard a knock at the door.I growled in frustration and swung my legs over my bed.

"What is it?"

Bart slowly opened the door.I laid back down on my bed.

"Oh it's you.Come to say 'I'm sorry' or 'things could be worse' cause trust me,I don't know how they can."I said in annoyance.Bart didn't answer and sat next next to me.

"I can understand why you didn't tell us before.Just wanted you to know that and I'm if you needed to talk......"He stopped and waited for me to answer.Ugh.Why did he have to look so cute and be so nice?Um pretend I never said.I sighed and propped myself up with my arms.

"It happened a while back,when I was younger.He was in and out of prisons most of the time.What made him be considered insane was probably from being stuck in the system too long.My mom and I moved around a lot trying to get a new start.She was all I had."I said quietly.Bart looked at me with shock.I continued.

"I only really had one friend growing up.We moved to Gotham a few years back.We later found out he had been moved to Arkham.My mom decided to stay where we were and for a while it was fine.Until,that night,with the car......"My voice trailed off as I could no longer speak.Tears finally fell down my face.

Why did this have to be so difficult?I suddenly felt an arm wrapped around my shoulder.I looked up and saw Bart.We stayed quiet for a long time.

What people say are true.There is a beautifulness in silence.
