[color=Mediumaquamarine]“I’m…I’m so happy you’re okay Daph…”[/color]
The scientist and his teenage daughter were standing in the small greenhouse inside the HQ. There was a good amount of distance between them. He tried to make eye contact with her but she avoided looking at him. He cleared his throat and loosened up his tie some more. He took a step forward and noticed Daphne tensing up. 

[color=Mediumaquamarine]“I came as soon as I heard, it’s really unbelievable, you have no idea how relieved I was”[/color] He kept looking at her face. 

[color=Lightgreen]“I’m done….”[/color] Daphne said in an even voice. It felt like the calm before the storm. Her face was set in an angry scowl, barely moving her lips when she talked. Either her dad ignored what she said or he didn’t hear her, but as per usual he started to talk over her. 

[color=Mediumaquamarine]“It’s amazing how your powers got you out of this”[/color] His behavior gradually changed from regretful into excited. This was never going to end. 

Daphne finally snapped.

[color=Lightgreen]“Why are you happy Dad? Why??"
“Are you relieved that I'm alive?! Or are you happy your research can continue?”[/color] Daphne’s voice wavered with emotion, but her words cut sharply, demanding the truth. All the anger and resentment she felt was coming to the surface, clawing to get out. 

His silence confirmed the truth she’d always suspected. 

[color=Lightgreen]“Do you have any idea? ANY idea what this was like for me!!”[/color] She gestured to the husk of the tree that remained, the prison she’d spent the last months in. Daphne was trembling with anger. This was going to be the last time he would betray her trust like this. 

[color=Lightgreen]“I’m DONE!”[/color]

His daughter's sudden outburst left him stunned for a couple of seconds. He stood there quietly, processing what had just happened. This wasn’t making any sense to him. 
[color=Mediumaquamarine]“What do you mean, done? done with the initiative….?”[/color] He genuinely didn’t understand. 

Daphne started to turn and walk away when she heard her dad’s question. It stopped her dead in her tracks. She looked at him and it was like she was seeing him for the first time. Maybe this was his real face? Where was the dad who took her to the circus in Gotham every year? Was he being for real? How could he not understand this? 

She felt tears welling up in her eyes and turned her face towards the door. He was not going to see her cry, she wasn’t weak. Daphne didn’t answer and started to walk away. This conversation was over. 

Her dad refused to let it go and walked after her. He grabbed her arm.
[color=Mediumaquamarine]“Don’t walk away from me, you’re sixteen and still living under my roof.”[/color]

[color=Lightgreen]“I’m seventeen…”[/color]

[i]Seventeen, When did she turn seventeen? He forgot her birthday…..[/I]

For a minute his grip loosened and Daphne tried to pull back her arm. 

[color=Lightgreen]“Let me go dad”[/color]

He held on, less tightly but he didn’t let her go.

[color=Mediumaquamarine]“I still have to take care of you”[/color]

[color=Lightgreen]“We’ll see about that”[/color]

The tension in his grip suddenly relaxed. He looked down to find he was holding a handful of flower petals. His eyes went wide with disbelief, faced with Daphne’s new power for the first and probably the last time. It baffled him, seeing her entire form disperse into a cluster of blossoms, vaguely shaped like her. Daphne floated in front of him, her pink face serene. His anger disappeared and he was left staring at her retreating form.
