Erik decided that silence was the best thing for him so he kept his mouth silent.

"Good if you ever try to protect me like that again and I'll kill you myself. " Martha promised hugging her friend.

April blinked but smiled softly hugging her tightly."Im sorry for making you worry Martha"

"You better be." Martha sniffled a little. "I'm just glad your alright."

April hugged he a bit more tightly."its okay Martha",she said softly

Martha pulled away and smiled at her. "I'm alright just have a lot on my mind."

April smiled at her and nodded."no doubt,so why don't we take it easy for now and watch a movie?",she asked happily.

"Sounds good to me." Martha smiled at her then blinked as Tim sat down next to her. "I just put in big hero six." he grinned and started the movie.

April blinked at Tim."hey...when did you get here?",she asked shocked

"Been here since last night. Bruce called in the robin army to help keep you ofh!" Tim doubled over clutching his stomach which Martha had just elbowed hard. "Hush." She snarled. "Yes ma'am." He groaned.

April looked to them."help me what?",she said crossing her arms.Then looked to Martha

"He's here to keep me safe." Martha scowled eyes glaring into the rug with a like that could set the wool on fire. Tim grimaced a little chuckling nervously.

April blinked but smiled."good, i could use the help',she said relaxing into the couch

"I DON't NEED PROTECTING!" Martha lurched to her feet then stormed off. "Martha!" Tim decided not to follow her sighing a little.

April neary jumped out of her skin,but sighed getting up."I'll talk to her",she said following."Martha wait up"

Martha paused at the top of the stairs. "What?" she snapped rubbing the tears from her cheeks.

Aprl joined her."I know you don't need protectingyou can take care of yourself",she said soft;y."you scare th hell out of people,but, you mean a lot to a lot of people,and with this creep after you,people are worried about you",she said calmly."and you'r dad has lost a lot of people he has cared about, can you blame him for wanting you safe?",she sighed."not o mention your going through a lot as it is, no one wants to add more to your plate"

"Yes well I don't need to Tim to take care of me." Martha huffed. "He should be out helping hunt Slade down." she sighed and ran a hand threw her hair. "They'll get hurt like you did and it will be all my fault." Tim stood at the bottom of the stairs watching them frowning a little.

April blinked but smiled slightly,understanding."its not your fault Martha....blame Slade",she said frowning.

"I'll try." Martha hugged April. "Lets play chess." she headed back down stairs and pulled her into a chair. "Lets play!" "Ok I have to ask because I feel a little weird not asking." Erik swallowed. "What do you think of Jason?" he regretted the message as soon as Martha looked at him. "he is useful that is all." she turned to the game. "I have no feelings for him."

April frowned same but nodded as she looked to the chest board."thats too bad',she said softy Then blinked as her cell buzed.She looked ot it."speak of the devil",she read over the text."he says he has a lead on Slade"

"Well tell your dad then." Martha took charge of the game taking one of Aprils pawns. "There in charge of the hunt were to stay here."

April frowned."yes but...not one of those guys ae going to trust him...",she said and frowned."nice move",she said stareing at th board.

"Your mom might tell her." Martha made her next move deep in thought.

April nodded and texted her mom,before making her next move

"Why don't you like Jason?" Erik asked sitting far away from them. Martha ready with a sharp retort was cut of by Tim "Because she likes me. It was suppose to be a secret but since you insist on annoying her about it." he grinned at Martha. "Jigs up." he chuckled. She smiled back "True at least we don't have to hide." Erik blinked surprised "But the age difference." he stammered. "I like older men." Martha raised her eyebrow "That a problem?"
