Mother Dearest: pt 7

Story Summary: Damian Al Ghul loved his mother to no end but when she threatens to harm the one person he loves more; he has no choice but to go to his father for help.

---

Leona loves wash day. it felt like the only time her and Damian could talk without the other boys interrupting, talking over them or just being downright annoying. it was a day Leona spent with her head in a sink as damian's long nimble fingers massaged shampoo and conditioner into her scalp while she asked whatever questions she could think of. It was a peaceful day for her and Damian, A day they both looked forword to for different reasons.

For Leona it was a chance to ask Damian any and everything, questions Damian wouldn't normal answer. It was one of those rare days that Damian was relaxed, his only concern was keeping soap out of Leona's eyes and that made him easier to talk to.

Damian didn't know why wash day relaxed him, his guess is that it has something to do with focusing on only one thing for a change. Usuually his mind was plagued with every possible danger that can harm his sister. it was the only time that his worries seems to melt away. "When is the last time you got a full night of sleep?" leona asked, eyeing the dark bags under her brother's eyes. Damian let out a laugh.

"Bruce snuck a sleeping pill in my dinner last week. I sleep the whole day." Damian said, his voice heavey with humor as he comb the tangles out of her hair. If it was any other family that sentance would have been concerning; but this isn't a regular family now is it. Damian knew about the pill in his drink yet he drunk it anyways. Nowaday the only way Damian could sleep was with the help of sleeping pills. Everyone in the Manor knew about his sleeping problems so naturally they've decided to get involved.

More than once Damian has had one of his siblings trying (and failing) to get him to take these pills. each taking a different approach.

Dick liked to talk to him about his sleeping schedule. He was one of the only one who didn't try sneaking it into his food or anything. Dick's talks never worked. "How can you protect Leona if you're too sleep deprived?" was his favorite line.

Tim; the hypocrite, was sloppy, the pills will be half dissolved in whatever drink Tim would bring to him out of the 'kindness of his heart'

Jason is more forcefull, often times he tries forcing the pill into Damian's mouth and down his throat himself. those times Jason would leave the manor with fresh stitches and bruises. Damian actually stabbed him one time when things got too rough.

Duke is the only one who didn't care enough to try. "you're not hurting anyone but yourself" he would shrug "as long as you're alert on patrol I don't care how often you sleep" it may have sounded harsh but Duke didn't mean it that way. Duke cared about about his found family so of course he wanted Damian to be healthy but he also didn't want Damian to feel like everyone was ganging up on him.

Cass is the only person (other than Bruce) that Damian has had to keep and eye out for. she like him is an assassin. she knows how to sneak something into someones food. Cass was the only one of his siblings that was has been successful in getting him to unknowingly take the sleeping pills. Damian to this day stills doesn't know how she did it, the only way he knew that she was successful was because he woke up two days later.

Leona hummed out a reponse before decideing not to push the subject knowing how defensive Damian can get when it came to him 'relaxing'. "Can I ask you a question Dami?" Leona asked. Her eyes were closed and her head was laid back in the shampoo sink. "Of course." Damain said, messaging the shampoo in her head.

"I know you don't like talking about her but I just have to know. Why did Talia want me dead?" Leona felt damian stiffen. He didn't really like talking about his mother or most importantly her fall from grace. Leona was ten when Damian explained to her what happened to their Umi and how their mother went crazy resulting in them having to flee from their home. He still remembered the hurt in Leona's eyes when he told her. No ten year old should ever hear that their mother, the one person who was suspose to protect, them wanted them dead.

This was the first time she even asked about her umi. Damian cleared his throat thinking about what to say. "Still to this day I have no idea why. Umi's death hit us both hard and I think her mind just snapped. Umi's death was her fault in a way and she couldn't handle that"

"her fault?" Leona asked, intrigued by this new piece of information.

Damian nodded even though she couldn't see him with her eyes closed. "when Umi died I did some digging. the man who killed our Umi and tried to kill you was from a village Talia eradicated ten monthes before. According to the files I found a woman by the name of Elena Heartfelt had set up a meeting with Talia, she had asked for talia's protection from the village that had been harrassing her in exchange for a gift. Apparently the village dislike the lady, the report didn't say why they dislike her all it said was that they wanted her dead." Damian explained. "what was the gift?" Leona asked, her eyes open and her intrest piqued. Damain shrugged. "it didn't say but I hope it was worth the life of my Umi." Damian took a deep breath trying to keep his anger under control. "What she didn't know was that a small group of man and woman had left few days prior on a hunting trip, when they came back their loved ones were dead. They wanted revenge and they got it." Damian sighed, turning on the water and started rinsing out the shampoo.

the room was quiet until Leona sighed "I wish I could have meet her" she said, Damian's eyebrows furrowed. "Talia?" Leona shook her head. She would never admit it but the thought of Talia scared her. She's never had a desire to come face to face with the woman. "No Umi" she said

Leona has always wondered what her life would have been like if Aaliyah was alive, what type of mother she would have been. From the stories that Damian has told her she was have been an amazing mother.

Damian laughed "you know you look just like her. you have Talia's eyes but other than that you're an exact copy of her." Leona smiled. Damian's favorite thing to paint and draw was Aaliyah. Even at a young age Damian realise the resemblance his Umi and sister shared. If the eyes in the painting were brown it was Aaliyah and if it was Green it was Leona.

Damian smiled fondly "I use to hear stories of people forgetting what the dead looks like. they forget how they talked and how they smiled and it scared the crap out of me. I didn't want to forget my Umi; in my mind she was the only one who actually cared about what I wanted and how I felt. I would lose my mind if I forgot her. you've helped me to remember her." Damian leaned down to place a kiss on Leona's forhead. Leona smiled, reaching up to squeezed Damian's hand.

"Did Umi and dad ever meet?" Leona asked after a moment of silence, Damian shook his head no. "Father knew nothing about Umi until I arrived at the manor with you. I wish they would have met; I'd like to think that they'd be really good friends." Leona smiled softly at what could have been.

Leona studied her brother's face again before sighing, giving his hand another squeeze. "You know I'm safe right? I'm sure she's forgotten all about me so you have nothing to worry about. We. are. safe." Damian sighed, nodding his head even though he wasn't convince. Everynight he goes over every possible plan of attack, every way of entrance and with the manor so being big there's so many. If the Manor security's were to fail and the league found a way in. Damian shook the thought from his head. He just had to make sure they were safe.

"I'll be fine Leona. it's my job to worry about you, you know" Leona groaned. "I just don't want you to worry about me all the time. You know I have other brother's and a father that can protect me." Damian frowned, the room was silent until Leona sighed as she decided to change the subject.

"when you and Jon first became more than friends was it... awkward?" Damian chuckled. "Is it awkard between you and Jace?" Damian asked, Leona blush nodding her head yes. "That's the thing is I don't know if Jace and I are even together." She cleared her throat. "I mean He's going through a lot right now so we haven't really been able to talk about what happened a few months ago" Damian nodded in understanding. Damian thought about his answer before speaking.

"when Jon and I decided to be together it wasn't awkward at all for us. Being friends first seemed to have really helped. Maybe you and Jace just need to sit down and talk about what you want from each other?" Leona shook her head no the best she could since Damian was gently massaging the conditioner in her hair. "I can't. He's going through a lot right now and it'll be selfish of me to add this onto his plate."

John and connie, Jace's parents, had Jace scared to death of them.

They sounded like real sociopaths. They beat him almost everyday. Sometimes it was so bad Jace had to stay home from school for days on end just so he can heal; his body so bruised and beaten he couldn't move and Leona would have to steal pain pills from Alfred's secret stash. Those were the days Leona was most tempted to call Jason, knowing jason would handle it in a heartbeat.

"what's got you so angry?" Damian asked, pulling Leona from her thoughts. Leona relaxed her face; not realising her face was scrunched up in anger. "Nothing; just thinking about Jace." Damian nodded. "Ok. I'm done by the way" Damian said, wrapping Leona's hair in a towel. Leona sighed finally being able to sit up. They moved over to the vanity area. Damian took off the towel and started parting her hair, combing out any knots and greasing her scalp. suddenly the door to the in-home salon slammed open revealing a very stoic looking Bruce. he was in his 'Batman mode'

Leona laughed not taking the look seriously "who died."

---

Leona never ran so fast in her life before, Guilt and shame laid heavy on her chest like an obese elephant. "Leona slow down." Damian said trying to keep up with the frantic girl as she ran through the hospital. Leona ignored her brother as she made her way other to the nurses station. "I'm looking for Jace lovett's room?" Leona asked, her eyes widen with fear. The nurse typed something into the computer before frowning.

"I'm sorry darling but he's still with the doctor, it might take a while before you're able to see him." The nurse said, a sympathetic frown on her face. Leona took a deep breath trying to stop her racing heart. It didn't work. "can you at least tell us what happened?" Leona asked, All Bruce had told her was that he got a call from the hospital saying jace was in the hospital but that was about it. Leona has never been so thankful that John and connie added Bruce to Jace's emergancy contact. other than that they can rot in hell

The nurse looked left and right, almost like she was making sure no one was listening into our conversation before saying "I was outside smoking a cigarette when suddenly this huge white van comes speeding into the ambulance bay. They pushed the boy out of the car not even bothering to slow down or stop." The nurse shook her head. "The police are waiting to question him about who was in the car but like I said the doctor is still with him." she nodded her head to a corner where two policeman were leaning agaisnt the wall. the looked to be bored just standing there a cup of coffee in both of their hands.

Leona's hand balled up into a fist. "leona do you know something?" Bruce asked, His voice was stern and he gave me a look that said 'you better not lie to me' she sighed moving away from the nurse's station and were no one can hear them.

"do you know who did this to him?" Bruce asked sternly.

Leona nodded. she explained everything she knew about the abuse Jace has been going through. She also told them how she stole drugs from Alfred to help Jace. Bruce gave her a disappointed sigh. "we could have helped him Leona, before it went this far." Bruce said. Leona rolled her eyes. "I know that but I couldn't just say 'oh jace trust me you'll be safe from your abusive parents at the manor because my dad is the batman' now could I." Leona snapped. she didn't mean to but she was stressed out. Bruce sighed. "everything is going to be alright Leona. I'll ask Gordan to put out an warrant for John and connies arrest in the meantime he'll come live with us." Leon sighed laying her head on Bruce chest.

"Damian go over and tell the police officer what Leona just told us and make sure they take a report. I wont have them just sweeping this under the rug." Damian nodded before turning and heading over to the police officers. "Family of Jace lovett" an middle age doctor called out into the waiting room.

Leona and Bruce walked over, worry painting her face. "Here" she breathed out. The doctor smiled at her sweetly. "He's a strong young man." she sighed. "he has three fractured ribs, His left was arm broken in two places and his body is just covered in bruises but that is the extant of his injuries but other than that he's going to be ok. He can actually go home today if he'd like" Leona sighed.

"Can we see him?" Leona asked. the doctor nodded "he's a little loopy from the pain killers but yes you can see him. he's in room 2OA" Leona thanked the doctor before leaving to find Jace's room.

Leona has never been so angry before. Angry at herself for not telling Bruce about the abuse and angry at John and connnie for doing this to their son. How can someone be so cruel. "Leona" Jace's voice was low as he called out for her. "Oh Jace" she cried running over to him and throwing herself at his side. leona gasped as Jace let out a groan. Leona stood back up feeling like an idiot for forgetting why jace was laying in this bed in the first place. Two fractured ribs and an broken arm. Leona couldn't imagine the horrors jace had went through only a few hours before.

"sorry" she said, kissing his cheek. Jace let out a low dark laugh as his face turned red. "it's alright, I'm just a little sore" Jace said, pushing Leona's hair, that was still wet, out of her face. Leona glanced at the mirror that was opposite of the small hospital room and flinched at the sight of her hair. Her damp hair stuck to her head on one side while other was sticking in all different directions. She knew the Media was going to have a field day with this; they just couldn't help themselves. Leona sighed, peeling her eyes away from the jagged girl in the mirror and back towords Jace.

Jace eyes seems to be studing the girl infront on him. he seemed to be taking her in; like there was a test about her face and he just had to study for it. "I was so worried" Leona said resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm fine now that you're here" Jace laughed, winking at Leona. Now it was Leona's turn to blush. "Jace--"

"come lay with me" jace asked, his voice low and hoarse. Leona shook her head no. "you're hurt." Leona said, concern written on her face. Jace shrugged, groaning in pain. "just be gentle." Leona eyed Jace, waiting for him to start laughing because he couldn't be serious.

Leona sighed when Jace's face stayed straight and almost emotionless as he stared at her with his sky blue eyes. Eyes that seems to be growing hazier and low by the second. Leona cleared her throat before slowly getting into the small one person bed. The bed was so small that she practically had to lay on top of him, their face so close that their lips almost touched.

"I told my dad about your parents. he said you can come live with us for now on." leona regretted her words the second Jace stiffened beneath her. Jace groaned as he shifted to a more comfortable position. Leona, thinking she was hurting him, tried to jump down from the bed but before she could jace snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her even closer. "you smell good." Jace said, he shoved his nose into her neck and took a beep breath. He was so close that his hot breath tickled her neck when he breathed out making her body become hot with desire.

Leona shook the though away. "Um thanks..." she cleared her throat. "It was wash day." Jace chuckled placing a kiss on her neck before pulling away which she was thankful for. Leona let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding before willing herself to stay calm and focus on Jace.

"You're acting strange J." Leona said, laying her head next to his on his pillow behind them. Jace shrugged "I think I'm done being afraid Lee"

"you'll never have to be afraid again Jace. My family will take care of you, I will take care of you for now on." Leona reasurred. For the first time in her life she understood her brother. The need to protect, to defend flooded her veins. No one was going to hurt them ever again.

Jace looked to be in deep thought, his lips curled downwords in a deep frown. Leona flinched when Jace eyes snapped towords hers. They were dark almost crazyed looking. "You are mine and I am yours" He stated. cupping my cheek with his good hand as his thumb traced my lips. "say it." He demanded. My mouth opened but no words spilled out. "I need to hear you say it" Jace said pulling her face closer; which she didn't think was possible. their lips so close they were almost touching

Jace has never given Leona a reason to fear him; but for some reason she still felt like she was signing a deal with the devil. "I am yours and you are mine." she repeated. Jace smiled a dazed looked in his eyes. Their lips connected in a slow heated kiss. "always and forever." Jace promised.

TW: metion of abuse, bruises and crying

----- Part 6

Leona's POV:

Leona and jace became quick friends when she came back from suspension. everywhere she went jace was right behind her. After school instead of parting ways they went over to the manor and played until Jace foster dad, John came and picked him up. They were inseparable. Even as they grew older they're bond never faltered. everything was going so well until they did something irreversible that changed everything about their relationship.

They had sex.

It was a spur of the moment thing. no one planned it, it just happened. did she regret it. no. would she do it again knowing what she knew now also no. Nothing was worth losing jace over, not even that amazing night on top of the roof of the manor where they took each other's virginity. the roof was a freqent hangout spot for jace and Leona. it was decorated in faily lights pillows and blankets. dick was the one who decorated the roof when he first came to the manor but since he left for blüdhaven it has been deserted.

one moment they were watching the sky. the top of the manor was one of the few spot in gotham you can actually see the night sky instead of gothams usual smog. And the next they were kissing and taking off each others clothes. That night was perfect for Leona. jace was gentle and kind, he made her feel like a queen.

the next day was awkward for the both of them but lovely nonetheless. Jace even made her breakfast (much to Alfred's annoyance) then he doted over her the whole day until Leona took him home.

that's when everything went downhill. he stopped responding to her calls and text, he even stopped coming to school for three weeks after that and when he did he acted like she didn't even exist.

He stopped sitting next to her in class, he stopped talking to her all together and when she tried to sit next to him at lunch or talk to him he'd just walked away.

"you're staring." Leona jumped not realizing her friend Anna had come to sit next to her. "I just don'r understand why he's acting like this. it was just sex." Leona didn't even believe her own words, it wasn't just sex to Leona. she had had a crush on Jace for years now and she thought he felt the same.

She was wrong apparently. Jace was ignoring her and she couldn't stand it. She felt as if her heart was being ripped out of her chest. she gave him something she deemed as special and now he's acting like she doesn't even exist.

"Just forget about him Leona." Anna sighed, rolling her eyes. "Look I'm throwing a party at my house, you should come." Leona took her eyes off of Jace's back for only a second to glance at anna. "I don't know Anna, I'm not feeling up to it." Leona sighed.

"Oh come on leona! just for an hour then you can leave." Anna said trying to convince her sad friend. Leona shrugged, already starting to tune out Anna's voice. Anna groaned in annoyance. "What if I asked Jace to come?" Anna tried.

"He's going to say no. He doesn't like parties. you know that." Leona was getting more and more frustarted at the boy she was starring at. if she'd known that he'd ghost her the next day she'd never let it go as far as she did.

Anna rolled her eyes. "Please come Leona I've already told people you were coming so..." Leona thought it over, it would be nice to get her mind off of jace for a while and maybe have a drink or two.

"Fine but only for an hour." Anna smiled widely "awesome" and finally she was gone.

---

"Hello the best father in the whole wide world." Leona saidl, walking into Bruce's home office. Bruce looked up from his mountain of paperwork that he had to finish before patrol tonight. "What do you need?" Bruce asked, signing his name on a form. "anna is throwing a party and I was wondering if I could go." Leona asked. Bruce shrugged "you know the rules, Tell Damian were you're going first, be home by eleven and don't end up in jail." leona smile. "thank you." she kissed his cheek Before heading towords the door. "Is Jace here? John has yet to call me about Jace's tuition. I need to know if jace is going to do any extracurricular this year. God this school, everytime you step a foot into that school they want more money." Bruce shook his head, sighing. Leona froze, she hadn't told anyone but damian about her and jace and how badley it ended. she needed to talk to someone about it and Damian was always there to listen.

"Um no he's not here but I'll ask him when i see him." Leona fiddled with her thumbs. It was something she did when she was anxious about something. a tell Bruce knew all to well.

"What's wrong?" Bruce asked, picking up on Leona's uneasiness. "Nothing" she said a bit to quickly. "I have to go. Love you bye" she quickly said before rushing out og the room.

Bruce's POV:

"wow, that was weird." Dick said coming into Bruce's office through the secret door that lead to the batcave. "Jace is not returning any of her calls after they're night on the roof" Bruce said, putting down his pen. Everyone knew about Jace and Leona's time on the roof three weeks ago. For one they wouldn't be great detectives if they couldn't figure that out and Second it wasn't like the two teenagers hide it well. jace turned bright red everytime he looked at Leona and Leona smiled the whole day, it wasn't hard to figure out what happened.

"that's fucked up" Dick said, flopping down on the couch that was in the office. "Do you think Damian know?" dick asked, starring at the ceiling.

"Of course, Leona tells him everything. he knows everytime she sneeze." Bruce laughed. it wasn't a bad thing, in fact Bruce knew Damain felt more relaxed knowing everything about the sixteen year old.

Damian had bad anxiety when it came to Leona's safety. it had kept him up most nights. He felt this intense need to protect Leona from any harm that might come her way. Nights where Damian brust into his room claiming Leona was dead only to go into her room and find her peacefully alseep were nights bruce knew all to well.

those night were usually followed by Damian clinging to her like a lifeline.

"it's been sixteen years and Talia has yet to make a move you'd think he'd loosen up a bit" Bruce sighed leaning back into his chair.

"I think that is what's making him so paranoid. the waiting for something to happen is putting him on edge." Dick said, Dick felt like he knew his siblings more than bruce ever could, it was him who they ran to with their problems. Bruce has failed each and every one of his children on way or another and Dick promised Damian he wouldn't let Bruce fail Leona.

sixteen years ago. Damian POV:

"He called you." Damian said, as he sat in the in home library. this was the only place without windows, the only place with only once entrance "you haven't been sleeping" Dick said coming to sit next to him. Dick glance down at the small baby that was sleeping in his brothers arm. "she's beautiful" Dick said, "I can't sleep, someone can hurt her." Damian said. "she's safe here Damian, bruce will never let anyone hurt her or you. you need to learn how to trust him." Dick tried.

"Jason trusted him before he died, Barbara Gordon trusted him too. I came here because Father is the strongest person I know. Even the league of shadows are afraid of him. they won't get to her without a fight and Father puts a big fight. but--" Damian trailed off. "But it seems he always fails when it matters most." Dick finished for him. Damian nodded.

"I trust him as a shield between her and the league but asking me to let him help raise her is something I don't think I can do." Dick nodded, telling his brother that he understood where he was coming from.

"I can't promise you that nothing will ever happen to your sister but what I can promise is I'll never let Bruce fail her. he will be a better father to Leona then he was to either one of us. that I'll make sure." Damian sighed, trusting his brother's word. "do-- do you want to hold her?" Damian asked. Dick was shocked. from what Alfred and Bruce has told him Damian hasn't let anyone near his sister let alone hold her since he showed up. Dick didn't need to be told how much of an honor this is. "If you want me to." Damian hesitate for a second before handing Dick the small child barley a month old.

"Her name is Leona" Damian said, Dick laughed "after the book you like?" Damian nodded "My Umi, Aaliyah. use to read me that book everynight before bed. My grandfather hated it "you shouldn't be filling his head with fairy tales" he would tell her." Damian laughed for the first time in weeks at the memory. "she would promise to stop but when night came so did the stories." Damian yawned, leaning his head on his brother's shoulder and quickly fell asleep.

--

Bruce POV:

"Just give him some space he'll see that there's nothing to fear." Dick said, Bruce hummed returning back to his paperwork. "why are you in town?" Bruce asked, Dick sighed "Harely quinn and the joker." Bruce put down his pen again. The topic of the joker always captured bruce's attention no matter what he was doing. "their goons have been spotted burying the bodies of a man and a woman in Bludhaven. we're trying figure out who they are but so far no luck. I was hoping the batcomputer would speed things along." Bruce nodded, "I'll see what I can find out on patrol tonight" Bruce said. "I hoped you would." dick said, leaving Bruce with his paperwork.

Leona's POV:

Dick came into Leona's room as she was getting ready for the party. "Hey, what do you think of this outfit? is it ok for a party or is it to elena gilbert?" Leona asked, twirling so dick could see the full outfit. Dick glance over the outfit she had on and said"No it's good. just change the boots it looks like you should be singing about green tractors and cheating boyfriends." Leona laughed as she walked over to her shoe closet. "how about these?" Leona asked, holding up a pair of black heels. "better."

"soo what are you doing here?" leona asked as she put on her shoes. "I'm here for work but I don't want to talk about that." leona frowned "what do you want to talk about then?" She asked.

"you and jace" Dick said. Leona groaned. throwing herself onto her bed. "what's going on between you two?" Dick asked, "we had sex and now he's ghosting me" Leona explained, "Jace?" leona nodded "Jace Lovette? the guy who took two trains and walked two miles to the manor in the middle of night because you hadn't answer any of his text or calls for an hour?" Dick said Leona nodded "yep"

"the guy who's been growing out his hair for years now because you made a comment about being attracted to men with long hair?" Leona blushed not knowing that was the reason he was growing out his hair. "I guess?" "isn't he like inlove with you?" Dick said in disbelief. Leona sighed, "I thought he liked me too but now he's not talking to me. Have you ever had this happen to you?" Leona asked.

Dick's face turned red. "Um, I can't say that I have" Leona groaned, snatching her purse off her night stand. "I have to go. thanks for the talk." she said before leaving.

--

As soon as Leona pulled in front of Anna's house she knew she didn't want to be there. Drunk teenagers stumbled around the yeard, most with multiple drinks already in hand. She didn't want to deal with any of this right now, so instead of going to the part she went to Jace's. she was going to force him to talk to her, wheather he likes it or not.

Leona has been pounding of Jace's front door for what felt like an hour (it was five minutes) Before giving up. She could hear Jace's loud music from all the way out here on the front porch. It wasn't unusual for Jace to play his music so loud but John Lovette, Jace's father. always made him turn it down.

Leona crouched over the rock bed and started sifting through them until she found the one with the false bottom "Finally" she sighed, walking over to the door and unlocked it. She placed the key in the bowl by the front door before making her way to jace's room. She burst in his room causing him to jump and fall on the floor. "WHAT THE HELL" He yelled over the music. Leona turned off the speaker. "I am not some slut you can't have sex with and then ghost-- what the hell happened to you?" Jace asked, purple and black bruises littered Jace's chest, neck and arms. They looked to be a week or two old. "Leona? what are you doing here?" Jace asked, quickly throwing on a shirt. Leona stood stunned, her brain couldn't process what she was seeing. Someone was hurting her friend and he didn't tell her. "Who-- Who did this to you?" She asked, "Leona--" jace tried.

"don't lie to me Jace. who's hurting you?" jace sighed not wanting his bestfriend to see him like this. Leona breath picked up as she grew more and more angry "Leona, can you calm down please" Leona ignored him to pull out her phone. "What are you doing?" Jace asked, getting off the floor, snatching Leona's phone out of her hand. "Give me back my phone jace. I need to call my Damian. he'd know what to do." Leona said, trying to grab her phone back from her tall friend. Jace raised his arm in the air keeping the phone out of her reach "No. Leona you can't" jace begged "we need to call your parents. they need to know what's happening." Jace face paled. he looked like he was going to be sick.

"we can't call them leona." Jace said, tears falling from his eyes. Leona eyes soften "are-- are they the ones hurting you?" Leona asked. As soon as Leona said it she thought it was rdiculous, John and connie Lovette were amazing parents. they loved jace with all their hearts. they would never lay a hand on him. Right?

Jace nodded. he flinched when Leona pulled him into a hug. Jace wrapped his arm around her, holding her tightly against his chest. "when did it start?" Leona asked, "the day after we...uh.. you know." jace turned bright red, clearing his throat. "I didn't do great on a... test and he got angry and just started hitting me."

"Oh jace. I'm so sorry." Jace couldn't stop the tears from falling. The stress from the month long abuse finally caught up to him. "they're insane leona. He dosen't care about anyone but himself." Jace hugged her tighter. "She tries to stop him sometimes but all that does is make him even more angry. I hate him so much, I wish I never met them." Jace cried. "I know how protective you get when it comes to me, I know you will try and go after them but I'm begging you not to. let it go and let me deal with this by myself." Jace begged. Leona sighed

"My brother can help you Jace, Damian, my father and I can get you away from here. they will never hurt you agian." Jace shook his head no. No one can help him, they'll die if they try. "Promise me you won't tell anyone about this." jace begged pulling away from her to grip her shoulders. "Promise me." Leona couldn't she knew her father and brother can help him, they fought worse criminals then a couple of abusive parents. "Leona please" Leona sighed and nodded her head all ready regretting her decision. "Ok I promise" Jace needed her to keep this secret and for jace she would.

PT 5

A/N: I am not a writer I just do this for fun. I hope you enjoy :)

"123 all eyes on me" Mrs. johnson yelled to her class gaining the attention of the six year olds. "today we're going to have our first student from the 'second life' organization." Mrs. Johnson smiled proudly as she pushed a small skinny boy infront of her. He had long light blond hair that almost looked platinum blonde. He stood a head shorter than the teacher who was hunched over with age. "Now for those who don't know, the 'second life' organization takes one child from the poortest side of gothm and gives them a chance at an amazing education. one that they would not have gotten where they live." She said proudly like it was her idea.

"when I was young the rich stayed with the rich and the poor stayed with the poor. Oh how the times have changed."

"was that a hundred years ago?" Leona mumbled not expecting anyone to hear her. but of course everyone had. The whole class erupted into laughter, even the new kid. Mrs. Johnson glared at Leona. "Miss Wayne, is there something you have to say?" Mrs. Johnson said, in that scary voice that made the whole class instantly quieted down. "No Mrs. Johnson" Leona mumbled, "good. Jace, go sit down, you can choose any seat that's available" Jace looked around nervously. "Over here!" Leona yelled pointing to the seat next to her. jace quickly made his way over. "thank you" He mumbled, putting his head down to hide the fact that his face was turning tomato red.

"Ok class pull out your worksheet and start working on paged 14 and 15." she said, sitting down at her desk and pulling out her phone to play candy crush. "Mrs. Johnson! Jace doesn't have a worksheet" Leona yelled, raising her hand. "oh. right" she said, digging around her deck, looking for an extra worksheet. "Come and get it," she said, holding out the worksheet. Jace quickly stood up from his deck, he grabbed his worksheet and quickly made his way back. "thanks" he mumbled again. "welcome" Leona said, turning back to her own worksheet. she was half-way down when she felt a tap on her shoulder. "Ca-can you help me?" Jace asked, looking down at his worksheet in confusion.

"Sure" she pushed her chair closer to his. "it's super easy first you" Leona explained the worksheet to the boy. "see easy." Leona said, once Jace was able to do a couple by himself. he thanked her once again. Leona smiled at him before turning to finish her own worksheet

----

It was now lunch time and Leona was, like always, surrounded by a bunch of kids arguing over which butterfly stickers were the prettiest one when she saw it. Two boys walked over to Jace and pushed him out of his seat. They laughed as they stood over him. Leona couldn't hear what they were saying but by the tears spilling from his eyes she knew it wasn't anything good. One of the boys raised his fist and punched Jace in the face.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Leona shouting standing up from her seat. The two boys ignored her and threw another punch as Jace. "HEY!" Leona quickly ran over and kicked one of the boys in the balls then punched the other boy in the face. Both boys collapsed on the floor. both holding the spot Leona hit

"LEONA WAYNE!"

"here we go," Leona whispered, turning to face a red-faced teacher who was stomping her way over to them. "Principal's office. all of you, NOW!" she screamed. Leona helped Jace up. "come on, it's better if we just get this over with." Leona sighed,

"Thank you for helping me." Jace sighed, wiping the tears off his face. "any time, that's what friends are for" Leona said. Jace eyes widen in shook. not expecting someone like Leone to want to be friends with him. "we're friends?" he asked, Leona nodded, grabbing his hand "best friends" she said confidently.

----

When Bruce got a call from Leona's scholl he didn't know what to expect. She's never really been in trouble before. Only one other time when she was caught kissing a boy under the slid because she thought that was how you learned another language (thanks a lot Starfire) other than that there have been no problems.

Bruce Stormed into the principal's office. There Leona sat holding the hand of some boy while two other boys sat crying on the other side of the room. One of the boys had a nasty bruise on his cheek, while Leona looked to be unhurt. Bruce sighed, already piecing together what happened.

"what's the meaning of this?" He asked, calmly Moving to stand over Leona's chair. "Mr--" Before the principal could even start to explain the door swung open and two adults ran into the room. One man and one woman. "Oh Dustin, Avery." the woman cood. Throwing her arms around the two boys. "what happened? who hurt you?" She said, frantically. One of the boys, Dustin, pointed at Leona. "She did." he cried, nuzzling his head into his mother's neck.

The man moved over to the other boy in the room, the one who waas holding Leona's hand. "What is going on? The person on the phone wouldn't tell me what was going on" the man said, standing protectively over the small boy "I was just about to explain to Mr. Wayne what happened." He cleared his throat. He opened his mouth to start the explanation when once again the door was thrown open. "Leona!"

Bruce sighed and turned towords his son who quickly made his way over to his sister. "are you ok?" Damian asked, Leona nodded, smiling up at her brother. Damian sighed in relief. "Go on. tell us what happened?" He barked at the principal.

"you heard my Dustin. That girl attacked my son!" she yelled. "your son is a bully. He punched Jace in the face." Leona yelled. "what?" the father to the small boy asked. "They pushed him on the floor and punched him in the face. They were going to do it again but I stopped them." Damian smiled proudly at Leona. He made it a point to teach Leona how to defend not only herself but others and it seems like today it paid off. "they also said some really mean things to me." Jace said frowning. Bruce glanced at Dustin and Avery who had their heads down in shame.

"and for that I am sorry" said Mr. Jones the principal. he sighed looking toword Jace's dad "Jace isn't in trouble since according to both Leona and the Teacher that was on watch he was the victim here." The man nodded and grabed Jace's hand leading him out of the office. "But unfortunately for the rest of you fighting is not allowed at all here. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to suspend Dustin, Avery and Leona."

"What!" the mother of the two boys yelled. "Ms. Davis Please control yourself," Mr. jones said in annoyance. "Now I need you sign this saying you acknowledge the three day suspension." Mr. Jones said, pushing a yellow slip towords the two adults in the room. Bruce sighed as he signed his name. "will that be all?" Damian asked, Mr. Jones shook his head yes. "Thank you Mr. Jones" Bruce said, taking Leona's hand and walked out of the office.

"are you mad?" Leona asked, as they made they're way to the car. "No. of course not, I'm proud of you." Bruce said, picking up Leona "you stood up from the little guy, That's what our family is all about." Leona smiled at her father. "Now. let's go get some ice cream."

PT4

Small feet stomped it's way into the large master bedroom. The little girl was on a mission and Bruce can tell. Bruce smiled, Pretending to be asleep as the small child climbed into his bed. "Daddy you awake?" Leona 'wispered' into Bruce's ear.

Bruce opened his eyes to peer at the girl before quickly closing them. "No." Bruce said trying to fight back his smile.

Leona scoffed "but you opened your eyes" Bruce opened his eyes again before closing them. "No I didn't" Leona sisghed, frowning in defeat when an idea popped into her head. She stood on the bed before jumping on top of bruce.

Bruce groaned as the wind was knocked out of him. "you up now?" Leona asked.

"yes. yes I am." Bruce said, taking a deep breath, rubbing his chest where Leona landed. "good because I don't want to go to school." Leona huffed, throwing her hands into the air. Bruce sighed.

It was Leona's first day at preschool and she was nervous. For the last week she's been coming up with every excuse to not go.

"Leona. you have to go to school." Bruce said, Leona groaned. throwing herself back onto the bed. her head bouncing off one of Bruce's pillow. "But I'm scared. What if the girls are mean and the boys pull my hair? what if the teachers turns out to be a witch and feed me candy to fatten me up and eat me?" she asked, her eyes wild with what if's.

"ok. no more fairy tales for you." Bruce sat up puliing the small girl onto his lap. "And no one is going to hurt you, Leona I promise." Leona stuck out her little pinky. "pinky promise?" Bruce connected their pinkies together.

"Pinky promise." Bruce promised. Bruce's bedroom door was thrown open. "Leona go get dressed, we're going to be late." Damian said, he helped her down from the bed. Leona running out of the room as soon as her feet hit the floor.

Bruce waited until he could no longer hear leona's footsteps before saying to Damian, "she's already nervouse about today Damian. Don't make it harder than it has to be." Damian glared at his father. A glare that Bruce knew all too well. It was a glare that said 'don't tell me how to parent my sister.'

"Dami! I need help!" Leona yelled, Damian sighed before leaving his fahter's room.

--

Leona glared at the tall building she hated. She couldn't come up with a reason as to why she didn't like it, she just didn't. "Dami, do I have to go?" Leona asked, she watched as children her age ran into the building leaving their parents or nannies behind. She didn't understant why they were so quick to leave their family.

Damian opened his mouth to answer but stopped himself.

"yes Leona you have too." Bruce answered, Knowing that Damian would take Leona and run if she gave him her famous puppy dog eyes. She had already tried to run away when they were heading to the car. god that little girl can run fast.

"But I'm scared." she said, Bruce kneeled down on the hard concrete not caring about getting his expensive business suit dirty. "Have I or any of your brothers ever let somone hurt you?" Leona shook her head no. "and we're not going to start now." Leona laughed as Bruce tickled her belly. "now go in there and show them who's boss." Leona nodded and puffed out her chest.

"I'm Leona and I am a warrior." she said before walking into the school with her head held high.

Damain Al Ghul loved his mother to no end. But when she threatens to harm the one person he loves more than her, his sister. He has no other choice but to go to his father for help.

Pt 3

"Is anyone else confused?" Dick asked, breaking the the uncomfortable silence. both Tim and Barbara's hands raised. Everyone turned to look at Bruce who only sighed. 'The one day Alfred was out visiting his friends' Bruce thought. "I'll go talk to him" He turned to leave, already feeling the weight on his shoulder getting heavier. He couldn't help but wonder what the hell happened to Damian to make him freak out at Barbara the way he did. Yes, Damian was known for looking down at the other people in the batfamily. But he's never attacked anyone the way he attacked Barbara. It was brutal, unhinged and while Bruce would never admit it out loud, it was scary.

Bruce knocks on the door to his son'd room. He found it weird. For months now Bruce has walked past this same door missing the classical music that Damian liked to play while working on the art. He missed the smell of paint and he missed sneaking discarded Drawing that Damian didn't like into his pocket to put in a little scrapbook that he kept hidden from his children. But now he was he was nervous. He felt like a ham sandwich walking into a den with a very hungry scooby-doo. The door slowly opened barely enough to see into the room. "We need to talk." He heard his son sigh, opening the door wide enough for Bruce to slip in. Bruce didn't know how to start this conversation. So he said the first thing that came to mind. "what you did to Barbara was not okay." Bruce said, Damian rolled his eyes. "I don't need your lecture Father. I've been through too much." That Bruce can tell. Damian looked tired. He could barley keep his eyes open now as he talked to his father. His clothes were torn and dirty like he had been wearing them for days. "do you want to talk about it?" Damian looks behind him to his sleeping sister. She made him feel like he can take on the world.

Bruce was silent as Damian explained everything to him. He nodded along as Damian spoke, keeping any emotions he might have to himself.

As soon as Damian was finished Bruce pulled him into a hug. This was a foreign feeling for the both of them. Bruce was never the type of dad to hug his children and Damian was not use to being hugged. But Bruce knew that his son needed it. Damian reluctantly hugged his father back, finding comfort in his father's warmth. "what's her name?" Bruce asked, looking over to the small baby. Bruce knew all too well how life can be the cruelest to the most innocent. Bruce too had his parents taken away from him at a young age. it wasn't fair when it happened to him and it isn't fair now.

"leona." Bruce couldn't help but chuckle. "After the character in that book you like?" Bruce asked, Damian nodded, pulling away from his father. "My umi also liked the book. She used to read it to me before bed." Damian frowned at the memory. "she sounded amazing." Damian nodded "She was."

MOTHER DEAREST Pt 2

Summary: Damian Al Ghul loved his mother to no end, but when she threatens to harm the ONE person he loves more than her, his sister. He had no choice but to go to one person he trust to ensure his sister safety. his father

TW: Attempted murder.

Leona was the name Damain named his sister. He got it out one of the books Aaliyah use to read to him, the book was about a woman worrior saving the world from her evil father. Damian didn't know why he enjoyed that story so much, he just did. It's been two weeks since his Umi died and his Mother has only gotten worse. Damain feared for his mother mental heath since most of her day were spent crying over Aaliyah's gave or Torturing those involved in the attack. She's hasn't spent anytime with leona since she's been born leaving Damian to do all the work by himself.

Of course Damian didn't mind. he had his sister at his side at all time. it calmed him to see her there strapped to his chest in a harness; peacefully sleeping and without a care in the world.

"Master Damain your mother has asked us to bring you dinner." a gaurd said through the door. Damian sighed placing Leona in her bassinet and covering her with his shirt so she wouldn't start to cry. it delighted him to know that she couldn't sleep without him. it made him feel like what he was doing a good job.

Damain made quick work with the locks; only slightly opening the door enough to barley see the guys face. "set it on the ground and walk away." Damian waited until the guards footsteps could no longer be heard down the hall before he opened the door wide enough to pull in the tray. The tray had rice and chicken breast with water and a bottle of milk for leona.

Damain starred at the bottle in disgust before throwing it away. he didn't trust anyone to make his sisters bottle, they could've done anything to it and that's a chance he'd never take. "it's time for dinner my little warrior" Damian said carfully picking up his sister letting the shirt drop to the floor. Damian wasn't a messy kid by any means, he just preferred to prioritze his sister and her needs before a little mess.

Damain quickly made Leona a fresh bottle, fed and burped her before he even thought about eating. That's how most nights went, leona would eat and then Damian. Damian didn't mind waiting thirty minutes until leona was done to finally start eatting, even if his food was a bite cold afterwards. "now it's my turn" Damian said setting Leona down on the bed. he scooped a spoon full of rice and was about to take a bite when suddenly leona started to cry. he placed the spoon down and instantly picked up his sister.

"what's wrong little warrior? are you still hungry?" Leona cries died down once she was in her brother's arm. Damian glance at the clock that read '7:45' bedtime. Damian 'TT' he didn't realize how late it was for leona. usually they receive their food at six. Damian would feed leona and then himself before reading to leona chapter of a book before she went to sleep at 7:00. Damian was pissed that he lost track of time. he took leona's schedule very seriously.

"you're just sleepy. that's it." Damian pulled up the blanket accidently sending his food falling to the floor. Damian ignored the mess instead he laid down on the bed pulling his sister under the covers and closer to his chest. "goodnight my little warrior" he said kissing her cheek before closing his eyes.

It was '1:00' in the morning when the locks clicked out of place and the door opened without a sound. A dark figured walked into the room with a syringe planted firmly by his side. The man had killed many of children before. some younger than the two week old laying here in the bed, the nightmares didn't bother him anymore. he just wanted to get it over and done with. before the man could even take another step towords the young girl he was pinned to the wall, a kutana embedded into his right shoulder. the man opened his mouth to yell but was stopped by Damian stuffing one of Leona's diapers in his mouth. "who sent you?" Damian's voice was deep and scary, dispite him being so small.

Damian instantly reconized the man as one of the gaurds. Damian was shooked to see the man. Not because the man was part of the league but because the man was new, which meant he was lower ranked. Usually the lower ranked leagued members stuck to training or guarding the horses, they shouldn't even know where Damain and leona slept. this whole this felt off to Damian and he need to know why. "and how did you infiltrate the league?" he asked

the assassins here were not for hire. most of them spent their whole lives training and working with Damian's grandfather Ra Ah Ghul. those are the only assassins who were allowed on the island. But this one is new, he barley looked old enough to have mastered all martial arts forms. He also got caught so easily. the man came through the door instead the window. which would have been quieter, quicker and easier (except for the numerous traps Damain had set up. But that was besides the point) Then the man failed to noticed Damian pull out his katana before it was too late. This man was an amateur.

. "Mhhmm ammhmama" the man said Damian rolled his eyes at the man. "if you wake up leona with your yelling I will tortrue you until you beg for death. do you understand?" the man quickly nodded hoping to get out of this situation as quickly as possible. "ah mhndeand" Damain sighed as he pulled the diaper out of his mouth. "now who sent you?" Damian asked again, losing patience very quickly. "you- you were suppose to be sleeping. This is suppose to be an easy mission" Damain raised his brow, that caught his attention.

"someone sent you here" the man nodded vigorously. The man was breathing heavey from the pain, sweat already running down his face. Damain noticed the large syringe strapped to the mans side. he quickly ripped it away from the man, holding it up to the little light the room had.

"what's in here?" he asked

"Potassium Chloride" Damain froze there was enough in here to kill a grown man. "who was your target?" Damain asked Grinding his teeth, trying to stay calm and get the information he needed. "the girl, Leona. she wants her dead." Damian eyes turned dark. He was angry. Someone was trying to take the only part of Aaliyah he had left, HIS sister and that angered him. "this poison is very painful. when injected into someone, it inflames the potassium ions in the sensory nerve fibers." Damian chuckled "it's literally burining up the veins as it travels to the heart" The man eyes widen in fear. "No, please don't do this" the man begged. Damian wanted to laugh, this man was going to poison his sister in such an horrible way and now he had the nerve to beg him not to bestow the same fate on to him. "tell me who hired you? and don't lie." Damian said now holding the syringe to the mans side. glaring daggers at the man.

"Talia. Talia Al Ghul" the man said quickly. Damian's rolled his eyes, injecting the poison into the man. "I told you not to lie." Damian quickly stuffed the diaper back into the mans mouth before he could yell in pain and disturb his still sleeping sister . "come on little warrior let's go see mother." Damian grabbed Leona's harness, strapping it to his chest before placing the sleeping girl in it. it always amazed him how deep of a sleeper Leona could be. the last time he got to sleep like that was when he was at this father's. here on the island you had to be alert at all times. It exhausted the young boy to no end.

Damian found his mother exactly where she's been for the past two weeks, at his Umi's grave. The guards surronding his mother didn't surprise him, no that was normal. what did surprise him was that each one of them were dressed for war. each of them had atleast Two katanna's by their side and multiple other hidden weapons. "so we are under attack" Damain said happy to be right, happy he was able to protect his sister.

He wondered if his Umi would be proud that he was able to sense the danger and get his sister out of there. Talia looked strange as she smiled down at Damain, ruffling his hair. "Yes Darling, we are under attack. thank goddness you got your sister out of there before she could get hurt. great job my love." That scared Damian. his mother was never affectionate like this, she never praised him in public, always when they were alone. Damian was taught to look for the least likely in the group because 9 times out of 10 they did the crime, And sadly Talia was the least likely. "how did you know we were under attack?" Damian asked now eyeing the assassins clothes in suspicion "and why isn't there more gaurds out here? why hasn't anyone sound the alarm?" talia's smile fell as she pulled her hand away from his hair. "Damian you're too paranoid" Paranoid.

Damian took a step back from his mother putting some distance between them. She was trying to get him to doubt himself. the more he questioned himself the less he'll question her. Guess she didn't realize how stubborn the boy was. he was is father's son.

Damian didn't want to belive that his own mother would try to kill his sister but all his training was screaming at him that he was right. "what the assassin said was true wasn't? you put him up to it. you're trying to kill leona" Talia's smile returned. it was wide and crazy looking, almost like the jokers. "Damian you're speaking non--"

"you're lying" Talia's smile dropped again and her face turned to scowl. "Damian give the girl to the gaurds now!" Talia yelled with a crazed look in her eye. Damian face was neutral and his voice was calm. His father would be proud. "Umi would be disgusted by you right now." That made Talia pause "I believe Umi is watching over us right now, and I know she will never forgive you for this." Talia turned her back on the boy. she didn't want him how much his words hurt her. her eyes trailed over to the family tomb where her wife and father was laid to rest. She wondered in that second how life can be so cruel. in a span of two year she's lost her father and her beloved. The irony of the situation hasn't dawned on Talia yet. all her life she was taken loved ones away from other people. she's killed mothers, fathers and even children but she always thought her family was untouchable. That they'd be with her forever.

Damian doesn't often visit the tomb, his umi didn't want him. Aaliyah talked a lot about what she wanted if she were to pass.

she didn't want to be put in the Lazarus pit, she made sure that they knew that. she disliked the affect it had on people, she made them promise her not to put her in the pit. the only reason Talia didn't disregard the promise was because she knew Aaliyah's injuries where far to serious for her to have a normal life. while Talia loved her wife she wouldn't be able to stomach the thought of her wife not coming back a one hundred percent.

And she wanted them to move on and take care of each other. she said that if she was going to be watching over us she doesn't want to see the same boring thing over and over again. Damian laughed when she said it. he thought it was funny. but now he finds himself doing different things each day just incase she got bored.

"she's dead, her opinion doesn't matter anymore." Damian stepped back from his mother. his arm protectively hugging Leona. she started to walk away but stopped in her tracks to say one last thing. "kill the girl and don't let the boy off this island." was the last thing she said before leaving them.

Damian tensed, waiting for the guards to attack or make a move. he didn't have any weapons on him only a couple of smoke pellets hidden in leona's harness. he thought about using them to try and escape to one of the boats behind him but he didn't know if he'd make it. "are we going to fight or what?" Damian asked hugging his sister. for a minute nobody moved, they just starred at each other. "go. take one of those boats and go far from here." a guard said turning his back on Damian. Damian's eyes widen he wasn't expecting this. he was expecting a fight, to die protecting his sister, that is what he trained his whole like for. "what?" The guard turned back towords him, glaring down at him. "Aaliyah was a kind soul and I will not be responsible for killing her child." Damian was confused. these men where killing machine they had no emotions when it came to combat and here they were afraid to kill hurt a child. "Go! before I change my mind" he yelled. Damian nodded in respect before turning and heading towords the deck. the whole time it took for Damian to get to a boat and pull away from the dock he expected to be stabbed in the back. thankfully he wasn't and he and his sister was able to get away.

--

It would be two days at sea until they reached gothem. Damian had never been so happy to see they dark, dirty, smelly city. "Hey you can't dock your boat---" the man trailed off confused why a small boy holding a baby was coming off a yacht all by himself. "where are your parents?" the stranger asked. damian tsked patting the back of leona who was taking in her new surroundings. "My father owns this dock, I can do what I want." Damian said pushing passed the man. the man was stunned but let the small child walk away. "I can't wait for you to meet Titus he's going to love you." Damian said glancing up and down the street wondering if he should walk to the manor or to Wayne Enterprises. Wayne's Enterprises was closer but there will be more people, people he didn't trust, but the manor was further away. It would take him awhile to get there.

"ok leona, Enterprises or the manor?" Damian asked. Damian nodded when leona hiccup "the manor it is."

By the time Damian reached the manor it was already dark and leona was hungry. Damain has never been so relieved to see the large gate surrounding the dark manor. Damian made quick work with the electric gate and the other hidden traps that would have stopped any normal person from entering. 'it was a lot harder last time' Damian thought "I can't wait for you to meet titus and Bat-cow oh and your going to love Alfred the cat.... and probably the human too." Damain told leona as he walked up the long drive-way. "I'll have alfred go to the store for us. you need formula and toys and another harness wouldn't hurt." Damian said eyeing the worn harness. it's been a rough two days for damian. he's been up for three nights now, unable to sleep worrying about getting him and his sister to saftey. taking care of a two week old while on a boat, having to make almond milk from a bag of trail mix he found was hard.

Damain slowly pushed open the heavey door, not caring about the group of vigilante aiming their weapons at him. almost everyone was here. dick, barbara, tim even duke and of course bruce. "Damian?--" Bruce was surprise to see his son here in the manor. He thought it would be years before he saw Damian again after Damian chose to go back to the league of assassins. Bruce was hurt that his son chose to go back with his mother, yeah their start was rocky but towords the end Bruce thought they came to an understanding. Bruce didn't know the real reason Damain decided to go back was because he found out his Umi was pregnant and wanted to be there for her.

"Mother's has lost her mind. we need to lay low for a while." Damian said moving past them and into the dining hall. he was looking for one of the many cards Bruce left around the house incase they needed to buy anything. Damian was never hesitant to spend his Father's money, he knew bruce had more than enough to go around so why should he limit himself?. "Damain--" Bruce tried but again was interrupted by his son. "how good are you at taking care of babies?" damian asked turning to face his father and his entourage. Bruce opened his mouth to say something but was again cut off. "never mind I'll teach you." Damian said turning back around to continue his search for the card. "she'll need a crib, formula, bottles and a bunch of other things. I can't find the card where is it?" Damian asked

"Damian, back up. what happened with your mother?" Dick asked pushing past Bruce to stand infront of Damian. Dick put a conforting hand on his brother's shoulder. He knew it was a fifty percent chance Damian would stab him but he still kept his hand there. Damian scoffed pushing Dick's hand away. "she's tried to kill leona, my sister" Damian said looking down at the girl who was now sleeping. Barbara gasped wondering how anyone can hurt such a small baby "that's horrible, can I hold her"Barbara said reaching out to pick up the sleeping girl. in the blink of an eye Damian picked up a fork that was left on the table and held it to her throat. "Don't you dare touch her." Barbara gulped moving her wheelchair back and away from the fork. Damian huffed "she's tired I'm taking her to bed." again Damian pushed passed them, this time going up to his room. He could hear Dick and his father call after him but he didn't stop. He wanted to be alone right now. he was tired and though he'd never admit it, he was scared.

Damian locked the his door behind him before he pulled leona out of her harness. Damian took a deep breath glancing around his room. everything was kpet tidy and exactly where he left it, He liked it like that. "we're going to be ok here leona. it's safe here"

PT 1

Damian didn't have a regular family and he loved it that way. he loved the confused look on peoples face when he talked about his mom being an amazing cook and then in his next breath tell them about the time his mother forgot she was making toast and almost burnt the kitchen down. He loved telling people about the other woman who raised him, Aaliyah Al Ghul his mother's wife. she raised him from birth and she loved him like he was her own son. Before his grandfather had died she was the only other parent he knew. It took a while for him to warm up to bruce, he felt like he was betraying his umi. she raised him, she took care of him when he was sick or hurt. she encouraged him when felt he couldn't do something. so when everything was said and done and his family was no longer in danger he had a choice. Stay with his father who he had grown to care for or go back home with his mother. he choose to go home. Bruce was upset of course, he didn't want his son going down the wrong path but he accepted that it was damian's choice.

"Damian, honey sit up straight your mother is walking over." his umi warned, placing her warm hand on his lower back. Damian sat up instantly always trying his best to impress his mother. Since his grandfather Passed Talia has been harder on him then ever. trying to shape him into the man his grandfather use to be. he didn't want to be like his grandfather. he didn't want to hurt the people he loves to get ahead in life. he wanted to make his umi and father proud and he couldn't do that if he became his grandfather. "thank you umi." he said sitting up straight with his shoulder back. Aaliyah tried to do the same but her nine month pregnat belly didn't allow her to. "I've been looking for you everywhere damian, you have training in five minutes" Talia said looking down at her watch. damian wanted to roll his eyes but knew if he did it would only result in extra training. damian just sighed going to stand up only to be pulled back down by his umi. "actually beloved, damian was just about help me to our room. you see I am not feeling too well and I think it's best if I laid down." Aaliyah said resting a hand on her large stomach.

Damian look at his mother in concern. he didn't know his umi wasn't feeling well. he felt betrayed she hasn't mentioned it before now. "I will accompany you to the room, damian go to training." Talia said sternly, leaving them no room to argue. talia gently helped her wife up, planting a hand on her wife's lower back leading her out of the room. "you're being to hard on him Talia. he's still a boy, he needs a break" Talia scoffed shaking her head in disagreement. "he's not just a boy Aaliyah. he has the world on his shoulders now more than ever." Talia argued.

The death of Ra hit Talia harder than anyone else. Aaliyah tried to be there for her wife anyway she could but no matter what she did she couldn't heal the hole that Ra left with his death. "I know that Talia but that doesn't change that fact that I'm worried about him. he hasn't been the same since he left his father. like it or not Bruce change him in the short time they knew each other, he's no longer..." Aaliyah searched for the right word to describe Damian's change in behavior. "bloodthirsty" Talia finished.

Aaliyah nodded swallowing down the tears. she always felt guilty for Damian coming back and she knew if it wasn't for her he wouldn't have. he never told her such a thing but they way he speaks of his family in gothem told her everything she needed to know. "I just want him to be happy and I don't think he is when he's here." Aaliyah could feel Talia's grip tigten around her. "he chose to be here" she huffed "I didn't force him."

"I know" Aaliyah said taking Talia's hand into hers, cailming Talia down immediately. she sighed leaning futher into Aaliyah touch. "he's not the only one who needs a break." Aaliyah turned to face her wife properly "you haven't slept through a whole night in who knows how long." Talia sighed hiding her face in her wife's neck, allowing herself the brief moment of comfort. "I can't sleep wtihout knowing you're safe." she said letting go of Aaliyah's hand to wrap her arms around her waist, hugging her tightly afraid if she let go she'd disappeared.

Aaliyah was her rock. no matter what she did, who's lives she destroyed Talia could always count on Aaliyah to make the pain go away. dispite what Aaliyah might think she had helped Talia grieve her father's death. "I'd be more safe with a crazy hot assassin sleeping next to me" Aaliyah flirted planting a quick kiss to Talia's lips while her hands traveled down to her ass. Talia hummed a slight blush painting her cheeks. "you know it's been awhile since we had alone time" Talia said hands trailing down to her wife ass also. Aaliyah nodded "oh I know." she laughed

"We should make up for lost time." was all Talia said before she picked Aaliyah running to their room.

--

"umi watch this." Damian closed his eyes before throwing an apple into the air. Aaliyah watched in awe as he sliced the apple into perfect pieces pieces. he looked towords his mother waiting for the approval he so desperately craved. she starred in awe at her son, smiling widely. "that was so good damian!" she cheered from her spot on the bed. she had been put on bed rest by the doctors. the baby has been very active these last few weeks and that worried the doctors.

Damian returned his umi's smile, shrugging his shoulder. "it was easy umi a baby can do it." Damian said picking up the apple off the floor, setting it on the table. Aaliyah smile dropped as soon as damian's turned. she took several deep breaths hoping the pain in her stomach passed. she bite the pillow trying to drown out the groan she let out. luckly the pain subsides before damian turned back around chewing on the apple. She didn't want him to worry about her. she figured that Talia would be back soon and when she was Aaliyah would tell her about the pain she was having. "Damian you're getting stronger." Aaliyah praised she tried to smile at the young boy but another wave of pain stopped her from doing so. instead she settled for a proud nodded.

Damian sighed sitting down next to Aaiyah on the bed. he placed his small hand on her belly smiling to himself when he felt a kick. "I have to be umi, how else am I going to protect you and my sister." Aaliyah chuckled placing her hand on top of his. "sister hmm? how do you know it's a girl?" Aaliyah teased. she knew Damian was hopping it would be a girl, something about having to much brother already? Aaliyah didn't know what that meant until Talia explained to her that Bruce, Damian's father has adopted multiple sons. "trust me umi it's a girl and she's strong just like you." Damian leaned down to place a gentle kiss on Aaliyah's belly. right where the baby had kicked.

Aaliyah sucked in a breath as a cramp shot through her again. this one was worse than ever. "Damian, you flatter me" she said cupping his face in her hands. like his mother Damian couldn't resist the comfort the woman before him brought.

The comfort wouldn't last long for either of them when a minute later loud alarms went off, scaring Aaliyah who was not expecting it but she knew what it meant. "we're being attacked." Damian said standing up from the bed grabbing his katana. a member of the league brust into the room almost getting stabbed in the eye by damain. "what's going on?" Aaliyah asked. her heart was racing, the last time those alarms went off her father-in-law was killed and her son was sent away. she didn't think she could take it if another one of her family was taking away from her. "we're under attacked" the man said causing Damian to roll his eye.

"we know that you idiot! who's attacking us?" Damian yelled looking like he was debating if he should actually stab the guard or not. "I don't know but we need everyone we could spare can you help master Damian?" now Aaliyah was sure this guy was going to get stabbed.

"and leave my mother unprotected? ARE YOU AN IDIOT?" Damian yelled. the guard apologized before running out of the room and into the fight. Damain stood infront of the door in a fight stance daring anyone to step foot in the door. he'd love to show his umi how well he could protect her.

Aaliyah couldn't hold in her scream anymore, the pain was getting worse and worse. she needed to get help and fast. "Umi. what's wrong?" he asked turning to face her, his face full of concern. "I think... the baby is coming" she groaned out. Damain looked on in horror as water splashed to the floor ruining the carpet. "FUCK" Aaliyah cursed."you can't give birth now umi! mother isn't here and we're under lock down, can't you wait?" he said aiming the last question at his sibling. Damian started to panic ever more when Aaliyah yelled in pain again. the contraction were coming faster and faster.

"Damian I need you to calim down ok? what did you learn in training?" if there was one way to calm Damian down it was making him focus on his training. it was one thing he never could forget. "your sister need you right now ok?" he nodded looking more determined than ever. "all the guards are probably fighting right now so we need to get you to the hospital wing somehow, there should be doctors in there. can you walk?" Damian asked making Aaliyah sighed in relief she had her smart boy back. she had nothing to fear that with him by her side. "I don't know let's try" she answered

Aaliyah wrapped her arms around Damian's neck as he helped her out of bed. she took a step and immediantly yelled in pain. "I can't Damian, it hurts too much." she cried "Umi we have to tr--" Damian was cut off by the door brusting open but this time a tall man dressed like in all green walked in.

"who the hell are you?" Damian cursed moving to stand stand infront of his Umi. the man smirked "My people has been under the thumb of the demon head for for to long now. only when she and that demon inside her is dead will my people know true peace." the man said. his eyes were dark and wild. he twitched every so often like someone was wispering in his ear.

"Over my dead body." Damain said getting into a fighting stance. "then Three Al Ghul's will die today." Damian attacked the man. the only way to doge the attack was too back out of the room which he did. Damian knew the best way out of the situation was to play defense, get the man to tire himself out and use that to defeat him. but that is not what damian was trying to do. he was trying to get the man far way from his Umi as possible. he need to give her time to get to the hospital wing and get help for herself and his sibling.

Thankfully his plan was working. Damian attacked the man until they were down the hall and almost out of sight from the room. "be careful Damian." Aaliyah whispered. she was never one for prayer but today she had to give it a try "protect my wife and children and let them come back to me safely" she groaned through a contraction. "ok now let's get you out of here." she said to her baby. she slowly made her way back to the bed. she laid down putting a pillow under waist. she let her instinct take over, pushing when she thought she needed to breathing like the doctor's taught her. it was hard, painful and tiring but it was all worth it when she heard the sweet sounds of her baby. Aaliah tried to soothe the crying baby while she Reaching under the bed Aaliyah serched one of the many weapons Talia kept in the room for protection. she grabbed the first thing her hand came aross which was a small kunai Ra gave to Talia on her first birthday. she cut the cord before pulling the small babygirl closer to her chest. If it was any other time she would have laughed, she could almost hear Damian's 'I told you so'.

"Hi my sweet girl. I'm your Mommy" her loud cries lowered when she heard her mother's voice. Aaliyah laughed "you picked one hell of a time to be born little one." the baby lip curled up into what looked like a smile. "you're going to be a trouble maker aren't you." Aaliyah laughed "it's ok when your brother gets back we're going to take a little trip to the hospital wi--" Blood and there was so much of it. Aaliyah didn't understand what was happening but what she did know was this was not good. "It seems I'm in a little trouble here little one" Aaliyah said watching as her daughter's face fall as she starts crying again. Aaliyah could barley make out the heavy footsteps that were making it's way towords her door. Too heavy to Damians or Taila's.

Aaliyah forced herself off the bed barely waddling her way towords the large dresser. she pulled it open making room to fit the small child before stuffing her in it. "shush my child it's going to be alright, your mother is going to be here soon ok? she going to protect you no matter what." Aaliyah planted one last kiss on her daughter's cheek before closing the drawer and making her way back to the bed just in time for the man from earlier to barge in again. "what did you do with my son?" Aaliyah asked having no engery to yell or fight with the man. he smirked

"I told you three Al Ghul's will die today" Aaliyah couldn't help but let out a sob. "he was young, innocent. he had nothing to do with you or your family" the man slammed his arm against the wall in anger "NONE OF YOU ARE INNOCENT. not him, not you, not even your baby." he yelled he was twitching again. "please I can make thing right, whatever Ra or Talia has done I can fix it just please let us go. I need to get to the hospital I'm bleeding that means there's something wrong with the baby" she Lied. the man's smirk widen he was happy to hear the news.

"you should have thought about that before you married Talia Al Ghul" the man rushed towords and in one quick motion he stabbed her through her stomach where her baby would have been. Aaliyah's brain didn't register fast enough that she had just been impaled until he pulled out his sword and slit her throat.

the man stood there and watched as the mother of two was quickly drain of life. he laughed in victory when she fell to the bed. Aaliyah Al Ghul and her child were dead and his work here was done.

the man could feel the heavy winds from the helicopter on his face, all he had to do was get on and he was home free but like every good story the bad guys don't get away. "you should have made sure I was dead" was all he heard before he was stabbed from the back. he turned his head to face the young boy who he had thought he killed. "I can't wait to join your mother and sister in the after-life" was the last thing he said before falling to the ground in a pool of his own blood.

Damian had never run so fast in his life, he just had to know

Damian could barely look at his Umi, dispite his training he was not perpared for the sight of his mother laying in a pool of her own blood. the white sheet stained red like her clothes.

he wasn't use to how cold she was, she was never cold alway warm. how could she be so cold. "I'll warm you umi" the young boy said pulling the woman to his chest. "I'll warm you." he promised. that was the first and only time he allowed himself to cry, allow himself to beg. he would have stayed there and cried all day when small, muffled cries caught his attention. he slowly peeled himself away from his mother and made his way towords the dresser. He gasped as he quickly pulled the child out of drawer. he held her tightly to his chest. the young girl cried in her older brother's arms. "shhh my little warrior, your big brother is here now. and I promise that I will never let anything happen to you" he promsied. his eyes drifting back to his mother. "never again."

PROMISES, PROMISES pt.4

TRICK OR TREAT" I yelled to the small boy who opened the door. he looked to be the same age as me but he was super skinny and small. he eyed my outfit before looked at me like I was crazy and unstable. "it's november 15th" he said in a due tone. I sighed. I knew this was a stupid idea but my mom insist we go tricking or treating now since we missed it in october. "I know but I wasn't able to go in october because we needed to move so I'm going now." he still looked at me like I was crazy. sighing in defeat I turned to walk back to my apartment. I just moved in a week ago after my mom lost her job in Metropolis. gothem didn't have lot of jobs but the rent was cheap so win win or atleast that's what my mom said

."I think I have a lollipop do you want that?" the small boy asked. I nodded "I'll take it." I smilled opening my bag for the lollipop. he was gone for longer than expected before coming back with a pillow case. "you're in luck. I still had candy from halloween" he held it up like one of those fisher man who caught a big fish. his face slowly turned red. "do-- do you want to share it with me?" he asked I smiled nodding my head "yes please." he gave me a shy smile as he stepped into the hall closing the door to his aprtment behind him. "um we can sit here." he said sitting down in front of his door.

sitting down next to him I watched as he emptied the pillow case onto the floor. it wasn't a lot of candy but it was somthing. "what's your name?" I asked taking a bite size snickers. "jason. and yours?" he asked. I quickly swallowed the candy and said. "y/n and I just moved into that apartment last week." I said pointing to the apartment door. "what are you dressed as?' he asked eyeing my outfit "a fairy. you probably couldn't tell because I lost my wings when we were moving." moving sucked and I hated it.

"what did you go as on halloween?" I asked stuffing my mouth with chocolate and skittles "I went as dash from the incredibles." I laughed, imagining him in tights. I sighed "I bet you got loads of candy." he shrugged "not really. gothem is not really a place for trick or treating." he sighed "this is all the candy I got from halloween. I was trying to save it for as long as I could." I fell bad now. "oh." I put the pack of skittles I had back. "I'm sorry." he rolled his eyes "it was stupid. the candy would have gotten old and stale anyways so--" he shoved the candy back into my hand. "eat up." "you know what this means right?" I asked he looked at me confused waiting for me to continue "it mean we're bestfriends now." I said grabbed his hand to hold. "bestfriends?" I nodded. "you can never get rid of me for now on." we laughed before popping more candy into our mouths.""

----

I hated waking up. the reminder that jason was missing and I was living in a dirty motel was soul crushing. it's been four days since our run in with batman and he has not been home since. I've been looking for him non-stop but I knew deep down that batman probably got to him but that didn't stop me from searching for him, just incase. but I was starting to get discourage so I did somthing I am not proud of and will never do again. I went to the police. "No. you're not understanding me. my friend was kidnapped by batman and I need help getting him back." I argued with the police women in front of me. she wasn't listening to me, she just continued to play a game on her computer. "go away kid" she said rolling her eyes. "you're suspose to be helping me. why won't you help me?" "go away!" she yelled throwing a pen at me. "fine! you won't help me, then I'll get someone else to" I groaned stomping out of the police station.

ok now for this next part, don't judge me ok. I'm desperate.

if it there was one thing for certain it is that this club was not a place for children. there was half naked women and dirty old man dancing, drinking and doing drugs. I figured in a place like this someone had to know something about batman. right? it was honestly surprising how far I got into the club without being noticed or kicked out. in fact I made it to a private room that over looked the club. thankfully there was no one in the room. the room looks amazing decorated with art and jewels in glass cases that I would never be able to afford. well in this life time at least. but that wasn't what I was after. I was after information.

I ran to the desk. throwing open the drawer looking for anything with batman on it. "what are you looking for kitten." I jumped back from the desk not expecting anyone to be in here. I didn't even hear the door open; but there stood a tall, curvy woman whoes face was covered by a mask with Cat ear? "um, nothing." I lied quickly pulling my hands out of the drawer and hiding them behind me back. the women eyed me up and down, studying me. "don't lie kitten, tell me the truth and maybe I could help you." I laughed. "I'm not stupid woman. no one in gothem helps a stranger without wanting something, so what do you want?" she walked over to one of the glass case, chuckling as she went. "you see this ring? I need it."

"ok... than get it." I said in a duh tone. she rolled her eyes at me. "I can't, not right now at least. I'm going to need help." her eyes stayed on the ring with the huge diamond in the middle of it, like eater egg big. it was almost like she was in a trance. "I could help you get the ring, but I need help also." she fold her arms in front of herself as she leaned on the wall. "what does a little kitten like you, need help with?" she asked "you're catwoman, right? it's rumored that you and batman have a thing going on." her face was stoic as she shrugged "the point kitten, get to it."

"I need to speak with him. he um, has a friend of mines" I explained. she hummed, glancing at the ring once more. "I work here, in the club. when the ring goes missing the first thing they're going to do is search the girls--" "then why can't you steal it as catwomen on a day you're not working?" I asked she rolled her eyes. "I have a reputation of stealing things I'm sure you know; and the people that ownes the club has some very powerful allies, allies that I do not want to get on the bad side of" she shrugged "at least not right now."

"so you want me to steal for you. ok I'll do it. I'll steal it on a day where you're not working and catwoman is to busy stealing something else; and in return you get me a face to face meeting with batman." she smirked "you're a smart cookie" she held out her hand. "let's shake on it." I walked the short distance to stand in front of her and shook her hand. "deal." we pulled our hands apart.

--

I had no idea how I was going to steal this ring. catwoman and I have been come close over the last few weeks. she was teaching me all the ins and out of club, red room and what I'd need to do in order to actually pull this off and to be honest I don't think I can. so as it turns out it wasn't luck that got me to that office, it was catwoman. she knocked out the guards and the surveillance camera, making it easy for me to slip in.

now I need to do everything she did and then some if I'm going to make it out with the diamond. "are you sure you can't just go in and knock out the cameras for me." catwoman and I sat in my small motel room going over the plans for tonight. "the whole point of this is so I'm nowhere near the club when you still the ring. if you're having doubts--" "NO!... I mean no. I can do this. I'm just nervous" she smiled. "I've got you something." she pulled out a small mask and threw it to me. it was all black with little cat ears on it. "Really, for me?" she nodded "incase you mess up with the cameras" she said shrugging her shoulders, like this wasn't a big deal but her small smile gave it away. "but wouldn't it defeat the purpose of separating you from all of this if I wear your logo" her face fell. "I guess you're right. but keep it anyways, for next time" I smiled "next time?" she nodded pushing the mask closer to me. "next time."

--

catwoman and I started getting close when she showed up in my motel the day after we met. it was weird waking up to the smell of bacon and eggs. at first I thought it as a weird murderer who made it's victims breakfast before killing them. but when I turned over there stood catwoman, dressed in her cat suit. "what are you doing here?" I asked slowly sitting up. she didn't even flinch when I spoke, just grabbed a plate off the counter and handed it to me. "eat up we have lots to do" I looked down at the food, then back up at her. "do you realise how creepy this is?" I asked putting the plate on the bed. she rolled her eyes, putting the fork and knife down next to my plate. "I work all week only day off is next saturday. if we're going to pull this off you'll need to learn how to get in and out without being noticed." I groaned "I'm tired" I layed down on the bed, pulling the covers over my eyes. but she wasn't having it.

she pulled the covers away from me. "if I'm wasting my time with you tell me now. if the deal is over I would love to know." I sighed sitting up. "the deal isn't over. I'll learn." she smiled. "first eat." I rolled my eyes but dug into my food. "it's good." I said with a mouth full of food. "you have nothing to eat in this whole motel." I swallowed my food. "I do." she scoffed "yeah ramen and cereal. your milk went bad I had to throw it out."

"thank you for the food." I haven't been food shopping in a few days. I've been to busy looking for jason. "no problem kitten. hurry up and eat, we have a lot to do."

--

everyday I'd wake up with catwoman in my kitchen, making me breakfast. then we'd spend the whole day going over the plans. surprisingly it was super fun and going over plans, learning how to use her nails to cut glass. it was all fun and it made it a little less nerve-wracking. "remember, get the ring and get out. don't stop for anything." cat sighed. she was nervous about tonight and who's to blame her. she putting a lot of trust into me and I don't want to let her down. if I let her down I'd let jason down. "once you get out of there go to 5th street. there I'll give you you're next instructions" I nodded "and where will you be." she smirked turning back to the blue prints. "it's time. good luck kitten."

"you too catwoman"

--

the club was more intimidating than it was the first time. it felt bigger and darker, scarier but I had a job to do and I was determined to get it done.

heading towords the back of the building cat said there would be a door leading to a locker room. that is going to be my way inside the club. it was there but so was two large security guard. "hello" I said giving them my sweetest smile. "go away kid." the man on the left said. he was tall, bald and buff. "I need to get inside." the one on the right sighed he looked annoyed and stressed "kid please go away." I sighed

"you don't understand my mom is in there, she's working, and my dad wants me to get her and bring her home." they looked at each other, having a silent conversation. the one of the right asked "is your mom melody?" I nodded. if it was one thing cat taught me, it was to always be confident in my answer. "yes!" I said. "we should let her through. the last time melody's boyfriend didn't have her home when he wanted, he shot up to club, and I do not want to stay late again."

"that sounds like papa" I said they rolled they're eyes as they opened the door. "don't take long kid and don't get caught." I nodded walking in the locker room. it was surprisingly lit up and it looked nice. huge vanity mirrors on the wall with twenty plus director's chairs infront of it.

there was only a two girls in the room, doing there make-up and getting dressed. I walked, well more like ran out of there into the actual club. it was dark and smelly filled with drunk adults of all ages dancing and doing drugs. why do adults like this? it's weird and toxic

just like last time I was able to make through the sea of adults without being stopped. gothem is not a safe place for kids. instead of going straight to the office like I did last time, I had to go through the ceiling this time.

NO'S POV:

you had a lot on your mind right now. climb the stairs to the fifth floor, get to the girls bathroom, climb into the ceiling. take a right, left go staight until you reach the dead end. below you is the office. but it wasn't that easy. as soon as you stepped foot into the bathroom the plan started going down hill. you were frozen in fear looking up at THE Harley Quinn touching up her make-up in the mirror. she didn't notice you yet which you were very lucky for because she did not seem to be in a good mood. she angrily patted her cheek with a napkin trying to cover up a bruise that almost covered half her cheek. "stupid harley, you never learn do yah. you just always have to make him mad."

"It's not my fault! he's the one who forgot our anniversary! we got all dressed up and even made him dinner but nooo. he wanted to come to this stupid club!" she replied to herself. "Don't talk about him that way!" she yelled pointing a finger at the mirror "and this club isn't stupid, it's a nice place for an anniversary." you could tell by her voice that she didn't believe it. she opened her mouth to reply when her eyes landed on you through the mirror. "who are you?" she asked turning around to face you. "Um. MR. J wanted me to tell you to hurry up. he, um. misses you" you lied. her eyes widen. if this was a cartoon she'd have heart eyes. "I'M COMING MR. J!" she yelled running out of the bathroom.

once you were alone you went to the first stall, climbing onto the toilet. reaching into your back pocket, you pulled out a black mask. not the one cat gave to you but a different one. you were about to put it on when something caught your eye. Harley left her bat. it was too great of an opportunity to pass up. you said to yourself as you ran over and grabbed the bat, it was heavy and it took a while for you to get it into the ceiling but eventually you got it. now your turn. it took a lot of upper body strength (that you didn't know you had) to get up there but you managed. you put on the mask and started crawling forword when you remembered something.

'put the tile back once you get in. don't leave any evidence of you being there.' cat's voice reminded you. groaning you kick the tile back into place and now being one step closer to the ring. you couldn't wait to tell jason about tonight. he's going to be so jealous.

left, right, straight, dead end. peeling back the tile, right under me was the case with the ring. excitement course through your body at the thought of taking the ring. you never felt so excited taking something before. when you'd strip cars with jason it was usually jason doing all the work and you just being the look out; but now you were in the driver's seat and you didn't mind it at all.

now all you had to do was drop down pull out the Freddy Krueger nails Cat gave you. (you called then that because they were long, sharp nails that she used to get through the glass without setting off the alarm.) cut the glass, get the ring and get out of here. the room was empty which made it a thousand times easier, or it should have atleast.

maybe there was a reason jason was in charge of the stealing part. as soon as you dropped the bat down into the room, you knew you fucked up, watching in slow motion as the bat fell and smashed the glass case into pieces.

The room turned red as a loud alarm came on. "INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT" it yelled. "someone's in the bosses office." a voice said from the other side of the door. "fuck" you said jumping down from the ceiling, almost impaling yourself on the broken glass. you sifted through the broken pieces of glass looking to the ring, while also not trying to get cut.

"WHO'S IN THERE" a man yelled. there was a pounding on the door like a body was being thrown against it. "go get the boss. now!" you heard footsteps fade away but the pounding on the door continues. "you better hope boss is in a good mood tonight or you're as good as dead." 'where the hell was this ring.' you thought. you were about to give up and just run out of there when something shiny caught your eyes. the ring! you grabbed it quickly putting it in your pocket.

now how the hell were you going to get out of here. the glass case was too smashed to use it to get back into the ceiling so you had go to plan B. improvise. you ran over the the window that lead to the fire escape. you tried opening it but it did not budge, even through there was no lock on the window.

'the windows in that place doesn't open, so you won't be able to get in or out through there.' Cat said one afternoon when you were having lunch and going over plans. 'we'll see' you thought going back over to the smashed case where you left harley's bat. picking it up before running back to the window. it took one swing and the window was smashed. "thank you harley"

you quickly climb onto the fire escape. "they're going through the window!" the gaurd outside the room said "mark and james are already down they're ready to cut them off." you glanced down, and sure enough there stood two huge men in black suits. so down wasn't an option. up it is.

people in the movies made running up the fire escape look so easy, but in reality it was exhausting. when you finally made it to the roof you were out of breath. "ok. what now?" you asked glancing around the roof for a away down. 'this is a stupid idea' you thought as you started noticing how close the buildings where to each other.

"this is stupid" you said as you started running towords the edge.

"THIS IS STUPID!" you yelled as you jumped off the roof, soaring through the sky before landing hard on the opposite roof. "oof" was the only noise you made as you knocked the wind out of yourself

all you wanted to do was stay there on the roof looking up at the starless sky but you couldn't, you had to meet cat. you groaned as you peeled your body away from the roof. "you owe me big time jason."

--

5th street was deserted and dark. no one was on the street not even catwoman. this was suspose to be the meet up location but cat wasn't here. 'maybe she was late or got held up. or maybe batman took her away like he did jay. if he did he's going to be in a world of hurt if I every get my hands on---' you were pulled out of your thought when a phone you didn't notice until now started ringing.

you slowly walked towords it picking it up off the trash can it laid on. "you made it!" cat's voice answered through the phone. she sounded more out of breath than you did which you thought was impossible. "you sound surprise" she laughed "you have the ring?"

"yeah. now, where are you?" you asked. "look up, kitten." you could barely make out the black shadow on top of the museum across the street. "batman should be here soon, come up and meet him. the front door is open."she said before she hung up the phone, walking away from the edge. you threw the phone behind you, not caring where it ended up.

walking through the museum was the easiest part of your night. "I'm proud of you kitten." you jumped at the sudden sound of cat's voice. "don't scary me like that!" you yelled she laughed "it's gothem kitten, you need to learn how to grow eyes in the back of your head." you sighed "here's your ring" you said throwing her the ring that she easily caught"you did good kitten. real good." she put it in her pocket. "aren't you going to inspect it?" you asked she didn't answer instead she walked closer to you.

she gently cupped your face into her gloved hands. "oh kitten. you're all beaten up." she pushed a piece of your hair away from your face. you sighed leaning into her warm hand "I kind of messed up--" she shrugged "were you caught?" you shook your head no. "seen leaving the office?" again you shook you heard no. "then you were perfect. a bit more training and you'll be a real pro." your eyes widen. "you want to teach me?" she nodded "if batman can have a robin and joker can have an harley. why can't I have a kitten." you felt honored and happy. you would love to learn from catwoman, it's been a goal of yours since last week. "what do you say?" you nodded

"yes! I would love too!" she opened her mouth to say something but was cut off. "caught red handed selina hand over whatever you stole." batman. she smirked "Oh bat, I've missed you." she pulled away from me, turning to face batman. "don't play games with me selina, hand over the ruby and I'll forget you where here."

"selina? that's your name?" you asked she glanced at you. "yes kitten, that's my name." she pushed you forwords "bat this is kitten, she has a question for you." the tall shadow in front of you was intimidating and scary. you gulped down your fears "my friend and I are the ones who stole your tire. we went back for another one but you were already there, you chased us and were gaining on us but we split up. what did you do with my friend?" you asked trying to sound brave you don't think he was buying but you still tried.

Y/N POV:

I could feel his eyes studing me, like he was trying to determine if I was worth the imformation or not. "please, sir. he's all I have left." I pleaded. it was silent for a minute when he said. "he fought hard to get back to you." he sighed "I knew once you two split up I would not be able to catch the both of you, expecally since I didn't know where you would be going. so I slowed down and let him run. I thought he would lead me to you. it took me a while to realise he was running in the opposite direction from you. he was giving you time to run away."

"aww that's so sweet." cat-- selina said. "where is he?" I asked again he hesitant to answer the question. he didn't know if he could trust me and I didn't care. I don't care if he trusted me our not it's not about him. I'd do anything to get jason back. I've already proven that and I'll prove it again if I had to. I don't know where this anger came from but standing here looking at the masked man with no powers deciding he had the right to take my friend away from me. where did he get off.

"Where. is. he.?" I asked one last time. "Ma Gunn's School for orphans." that name sounded familiar. I think Greg told jason and I about it one time. I don't remember what he said about the school but I don't think it was anything good. "Thank you selina for everything you've done for me. I'll see you around." I said leaving the dark museum. I don't know if I'll ever see selina again, I wanted to. I really wanted to learn how to do what she does. but I can't think about that right now. jason comes first. he will always come first.

--

my legs were tired by the time I stood infront of 'Ma Gunn's School for orphans' it was late, cold and creepy out here in the middle of Crime Alley. it was stupid of me to be out here by myself but jason was in there. somewhere.

I was surprise at the School infront of me. it was not like the other Buildings on the street. It was smaller then I thought it would be, there were no broken or boarded up windows and it was bright yellow like a school bus. every building except this one looked like a heavy sigh would cause it to crumble to dust but this one stood strong. red flag number one. Red flag number two was the bars on the window. now bars on the window isn't uncommon in Gothem but these bars were on the inside. like they were trying to keep something in not out.

something about this place did not seem right to me. the building should be falling apart because of it being extremely underfunded like every school/orphanage in gothem was. Money laundering is the only explanation I could think of. 'stop worrying about the school y/n just get in get jason and leave.' maybe there's a back door that was left open? or maybe a window without bars on it.

the boarding school was not easy to get into, it took almost an whole hour for me to finally get in. the inside was even more impressive. it was obviously an apartment turned boarding school and it was nice. the first floor (or the lobby) was a large classroom with a white board on one end and an elevator on the other. it was HUGE, the classroom could fit fifty kids comfortably there was also a small desk in the corner next to the backdoor probably for the teacher.

I got into the elevator which wasn't really a good idea. I could easly get caught this way. I could hear selina yelling at me now. 'get out of the elevator.' 'you're going to get caught' 'what are you going to do if someone gets in the elevator?' but I had no chosice, there were no stairs.

the buttons on the elevators read.

ATTIC.

HALL A.

HALL B.

CAFETERIA.

CLASSROOM A.

CLASSROOM B.

I pressed 'Hall A.' to go up. 'Hall' was of course the rooms and in one of those rooms was jason. my heart pounded at the thought of seeing jason again. I was excited, I wanted to hug him tight and never let the go. I wanted to run into his arms and have him hold me tight and never let me go. I wanted him to call me stupid for worrying about him. he'd probably say something like 'you shouldn't be worry fairy, I knew you'd find me.' or something sappy like that. my face would get hot and I'd push him away in embarrassment but he'd probably pull me back. God I couldn't wait.

I practically jumped out of the elevator when the doors finally opened. I was one step closer to jason. the floor I was on looked like a regular apartments now. except none of the apartments had front doors. I walked into the first one labeled 'H1'. I was hoping someone here knew jason and could point me to him. I was not trying to go through every room but I knew if it came down too, I would.

there was no rooms just an open space with bunk beds and dressers against the wall. it was basically a large studio apartment. there was no oven/stove but a small table and three little chairs. the only thing they had was a bathroom. there was six boys in this room and they all looked to be different ages. I walk to the nearest boy to shake him awake but before I could even put my hand on his shoulder a loud siren sounded through out the whole floor. "Not again." I groaned. everything happened so fast. the boys rose from they're bunk bed wearing dark shirts and pants. they looked like robots, none of them paid me any mind as they put of they're shoes. a line started forming infront of the elevators. groups of seven went down at a time. they didn't seem to be thinking just doing. it was weird. I couldn't see jason in the crowd of boys and girls, maybe he's in the other hall.

I followed the crowd down the elevator back into the Lobby/ classroom B and out the door. an odd looking woman was ushering kids into a long bus, she looked like the old lady from Monsters, Inc. she was a fat, short lady who had no neck and spiky white hair. she looked mean. "get in, get in. we don't have much time." she said almost pushing a girl up the steps. "what's going on?" I asked the boy next to me. "where you sleeping in class or something? it's the hest." I looked at him like he was crazy, Kids pulling a hest? that was completely unheard of. even for gothem. "the one we've been planning for week?" a kid on my other side said. a small girl who look no older then five. "you must be new, I'm Nia. can you hold my hand, I'm scared." Nia held her hand up, I took her hand in mine.

"yeah me too but it's going to be ok.I promise" she let out a sigh and shrugged. "don't mind Michael he doesn't like alot of people. just his friend Mike and sam. they use to steal my lunch until my friend jason kick their asses." I froze, could she me talking about MY jason? I cleared my throat from the sudden tightness. "Nia. your friend jason, what's he like?" I asked stopping in the line so we had time to talk. something tells me once we get on that bus I won't have that opportunity. she smile widely "Oh he's the best. those mean boys were picking on me again and he punched them in the face." her small fist hit the palm of her hand with a loud smack. "he beat their ass. that'll teach them to mess with me." her hand tighten around mine. "he shared a secret with me, he said--" she narrowed her eyes at me "are we friends?" she asked I nodded "of course" I said she smiled "then I think I tell you a secret" she glanced around making sure no one was listening. "he told me--" "HEY! get on the bus" the monster Inc. lady yelled glaring at Nia and I. I rolled my eyes walking up the steps of the bus with Nia. the bus was oddly silent dispite there being 30 plus kids. they sat perfectly still, staring forword. "Creepy" I wispered taking the closes seat to the front. "We have to be quiet now." Nia wispered she looked scared. her little knee was bouncing with nerves and her hand clunched tightly around my hand. "it's going to be ok Nia I'm going to protect you." I said. I don't know what is happening here and I don't see jason anywhere but I truely wanted to protect her. she was just so young "Nia." she looked startled "your friend jason, where is he?" I asked she glanced around nervously "he ran away." she wispered "he said he was going to stop Ma Gunn." I nodded that sounds like jason.

The large bus pulled into the parking lot of a bank, Ma Gunn smiled widely almost as big as the jokers. the bus doors opened and like robots the kids stood up simultaneously heading towords the doors of the bus. I looked down when I felt a tug on my shirt. "we have to go" Nia said she was standing up also, waiting for me to move out of the way. I followed the line into the bank where kids were making quick work stuffing the money into large garbage bags. "we have to hurry the police are going to be here in five minutes." nia and I grabbed the huge bags and started stuffing money into it

it would be ten minutes and an half bag of money later when a loud bang made everyone in the bank freeze. "the hell was that!" Ma Gunn yelled rushing out of the bank. kids being kids we ran after her to see for ourselves. I don't know what I expected to see when I ran out of the bank, the bus being on fire was surprisingly not one of them. "MA GUNN I will not allow you to use these kids for your personal gain any longer. come out and fight me" I wanted to laugh. there he was standing infront of a burning bus ready to take on a woman more than twice his size, yep that's my jason.

PROMISES, PROMISES

it's been four months since my mother left and I started living with jason. it was hard at first, being abandon by the only partent I had left in this world but jason made sure I had everything I needed. at first it was hard to get out of bed in the morning and it was even harder to eat. but jason took care of me, like he's always done. he made sure I ate what little food I could stomach and he held me close as I cried on his shoulder then he'd wiped my tears and tell me how much he loved and cared for me, he promised me that he would never allow another person to hurt me like my mom did.

I haven't fully gotten over my mother leaving, who would. but life goes on and there's more important things I need to worry about. like surviving.

jason and I have fallen into a rythem of our own. we usually woke up in the afternoon due to our nightly activities that lasted well into the morning if the loot was good. we'd eat breakfast infront of the T.V. while jason's mother slept. when it got late enought we'd head out to strip some cars.

stripping cars put easy money on the table even though most of it went to jason's mother. which I don't mind because she's letting me stay with her. I feel like I owe her and jason everything, if it wasn't for them I'd be on the street or worse.

things were going great until jason's dad showed up. from what jason has told me his father would disappear for monthes on end and pop back up when the money ran dry. I guess the money ran dry because there he was sitting at the table stuffing rice and chicken down his throat while jason was staring daggers into his father not bothering to touch his food in a small protest.

I was worried about jay, he hasn't said a word since we came home and saw his father sitting at the table with a beer infront of him. he didn't say anything when willis. jason's father, ordered us to sit and he didn't say aything when willis glared at me, like he was wondering if I had always been here or just popped up.

the room was silent expect when catherine would let out a small chuckle. her eyes where low like she was about to fall asleep right here at the table and she rocked back and forth like she was soothing a baby.

she was high out of her mind no doubt thanks to willis. "who's the kid" he asked nodding his head towords me. "that's y/n. she's going to be staying with us for a while" catherine said slow like a sloth. "what, she's your little girlfriend or somthing?" he asked jason. but still jason said nothing. willis slowly started turning red. he didn't like being ignored and his face showed it. he looked like an ape who didn't get a banana. "Oh so you don't know how to speak now huh? last time I was here you had a lot of mouth on you and now you're quiet."

"why are you here?" jason asked clenching his teeth in anger. willis slammed his hand on the table. "I don't have to answer to you! I'm the parent here." "you're an ass." I said without thinking. everyone in the room paused, it felt like even the cars outside stopped and fell silent, waiting for something to happen. "the fuck you say!" willis stood up so fast his chair fell backwords. everything else happened in slow motion, jason quickly standing up from his chair and getting in front of me just in time for willis's fist to connect with his jaw. jason stubbled back and I saw red. I jumped on willis clawing his face with my nails I always forget to trim. willis was surprise at first but he quickly regained his wits and pushed me off of him. "you fucking bitch!" he yelled wiping off the small droplets of blood from his cheek. "don't touch him!" I yelled jason pushed me behind him incase his father came at me again. "you fucking bitch." he said again while wiping more blood. "I'll get you for this. you'll learn sooner or later who runs this house" he said angerly but thankfully he didn't do anything. instead he put on his shoes and walking out the door, making sure to slam it behind him. jason sighed in relief "jay, are you ok?" I asked he nodded, turning around to face me. "for now, I think so."

---

Willis made our life a living hell. he took back the only room in the apartment, forcing jason and I and sometimes Catherine if he was being extra shitty, to share the couch. he would beat on jason every time he saw an opportunity and when I would get involved he would beat me too and if that wasn't bad enough, he started taking the money we earned. every dime of it. there wasn't a place we could put it that he wouldn't find it. it's like he knew every hiding spot that had ever existed in the apartment.

I don't know what he did with the money but I know what he didn't do. pay the bills, because three monthes into him being here we got a eviction notice saying we had a week to get out. "what are we going to do jay?" I asked staring down the the big red letters. he held the paper tightly in his hands. he was angry. at the paper, at his father and at the world. "I don't know" he whispered. "it's going to be ok jason." I said taking his hand into mine. "we'll figure it--" I was cut off by willis yelling "get your ass in here!" he sounded both scared and out of breath. like he was running a marathon in the room.

jason and I shared a look of concern before running to the room. when we got there willis was on top of catherine doing chest compressions. there was foam around her mouth and she was slowly turning blue. "fucking help me!" willis said I snapped out of my trence and ran to the house phone. I dialed 9-1-1. "911 what's your emergency?" the lady asked in a montone voice. "my friends mom is ODing we need help." I cried into the phone. "ok. what your address honey?" I quickly told her the address and apartment number. "ok do you know if she's breathing?" "No I don't think she is. she was turning blue but my friends dad is doing chest compressions, but I don't think it's working" she hummed "ok the police is on the way now, can you open the door for them?" I ran to the door and opened it before running back to the phone. I could hear jason and willis yelling at each other but I couldn't make out what they were saying. it's like my brain went numb with adrenaline.

willis stormed out of the room, his face was red from anger or saddess I didn't know. "where are you going?" I asked. he seemed startled by my presents like he forgot other people in the world existed "I-I. take care of him you're all he has left." he said before walking out of the apartment. I didn't know what he meant all I knew was that I need to be with jason. "I have to go" I said the the operator. "wait, no you need to sta--" I hung up the phone going back into the room. jason was crying over his mother unmoving body "the police is on they're way. they're going to save her." jason shook his head. "she's dead." his voice was small and weak. "jay. we-we have to try. Ok?" he didn't say anything, he just stared at her. I sighed and got on the bed next her catherine. I didn't know how to do chest compressions but I knew from the office I had to maintain 120 beats a minute. "ah, ha, ha, ha stayin' alive. stayin' alive." I repeated it over and over again until a deep voice called out. "Police!"

"we're in here!" jason yelled. two officer and three paramedics rushed into the room. "you can step back, we got it from here." a lady said coming to my side. jason and I backed away and watched while the paramedics checked her pulse before shaking her head. "how long has she been like this?" one asked. "30 minutes or more. we're not really sure." I said trying to keep a level head for jason. "can you take them into the living room?" the lady asked the police officers. they nodded and lead us into the living room. "do you know what kind of drugs she's taken?" an officer asked. we shook our head no. "I think she does almost everything." jason said. he had a far away look in his eye like he was in another universe. "and your father?" we shrugged. "he left ten minutes ago." I answered "and what's his name? maybe we can find him"

"willis todd." I answered again. the officer nodded before leaving the room. the room was silent. except for the sound coming from the room. I don't know what they were doing but I don't think it was working. I gripped jay's hand hard when the noise in the room stopped and catherine was wheeled out on a stretcher. "what's going on? what's happening?" jason asked jumping up from the couch. "I'm sorry kid but your mother is gone." and just like that jason and I were truly alone.

the next few weeks were a blur. they took catherine away, I have no idea where. I don't know where they take the already dead people. do they still take them to the hospital? or somewhere else. willis showed back up that day and was instantly cuffed and taken to jail. the police claimed they had a warrent out for his arrest, something about petty crimes and we were homless. the property manager came that friday with the police. we barley had time to pack our clothes before we were shoved out. the police didn't care about the two kids being put out of they're home, they never did.

----

the little money we had from the cars went to a motel we were staying at and food. it was rough but we made it work. as long as we had each other everything would work out. "we have enough for ceral and ramen." I said counting the money we got from greg. "the rest goes to the hotel." jason groaned as he flooped down on the bed

"I hate this"he said. I flopped down on the bed next to him. "I know but we're making it work. I'm proud of us." he laughed "us? you do all the work" I shook my head in disagreement "we're a team. you strip the cars and I make sure we eat, a team." I intwined our hands together. we were all each other had left. both our parents are gone now, either dead, in prison or never to return. it was hard, but we made it work. or atleast we tried too. suddenly jason sat up from the bed "did you hear? batman caught two face" jason said with sudden excitment in his voice. I rolled my eyes gettin up from the bed. we needed to start getting ready to go out but knowing jason he's going to talk my ear off while I get dressed.

"greg told me that he was made in a lab by a mad scientist, who got bored one night. he told me batman is half bat half man." I said. jason made a face of distaste. "that old fool. he's not half man. he's a bat that's the size of a man and he wasn't made by a scientist. he accidentally fell into toxic waste or something." he said rolling his eyes. "that doesn't make any sense jay. why would he fight crime then if he's just a bat? and what about robin? he's oviously a boy." "of course he's a boy but he was also bitten by batman and now he has weird powers" I rolled my eyes as I put on my shoes. "come on it's time for work." I said throwing his shoes at him.

--

we've been walking up and down alley ways looking for any car worth stripping but so far nothing. drug dealers? yes. prostitutes? also yes. but cars that doesn't look like it'll break down turning the corner, so far no. until we turned down a dark alley and just sitting there was THE batmobile. "oh shit!" jason cursed. we ran over to the car, to addmire it. it was nice and shiny and freaking amazing. "this can't be real. is this real or am I dreaming?" I asked jason. suddenly jason pinched my arm. "ow!" "nope not dreaming. now do me." I pinched his arm as hard as I could. "ow!" he said rubbing his arm "nope, not dreaming" he glared at me but it didn't take long before he was smiling again. "let's steal batman's tires" I looked at him like he was crazy but the more I thought about the more cool it seemed. I smiled and grab the jack. "let's hurry before he gets back" I said.

surprisingly it didn't take long for us to get the first tire off. "greg is going to flip when he see's this" I said as we loaded the heavy tire onto the wagon. "come on let's get this to greg before we get caught." I said pulling the wagon behind me.

I pounded hard on the rusty metal door. "ok. ok. what do you want" greg said. he looked like he just rolled out of bed. "greg! look. look what we got." I said rolling the tire into the shop. "what is it?" he asked voice all groggy "a tire. off THE batmobile" I exclaimed. that seemed to have woken him up because he immediately put on his glasses to inspect the tire. he took his time, going over every little detail "well shit kid. how the hell did you get somthing like this?" he asked "found the car in an alley-way when we were hunting. so how much are we getting?" jason asked "well for my faviorte customers, I'll give you a thousand." I rolled my eyes "those rich boys you sell to will pay top dollar for this tire. try again." I said. greg laughed "ok, you got me there. how about five?" my eyes widen "five thousand?" greg nodded "sold!" jason and I said together. after getting our money we were going to head home when suddenly jason stopped. "let's go get another one." I just stared at him. "just hear me out, we got five thousand for one. one! if can get at least on more we'll be set." it would be nice to not have to worry about finding good cars to stip or having to pay for the motel for a while. "ok. but one more." his smile widen. he grabbed my hand and we ran back to where the car was.

"ok let's make this quick. we dont want to get cau--" I stopped a tall black shadow stood next the car. "oh shit" I cursed. I looked at jason who nodded.

jason and I took off running. heavy footsteps could be heard behind us. he was most definitely following us. "crap. he's gaining on us!" jason yelled. "we need to split us! I'll meet you back home" I said. jason nodded before taking a quick left down and alley-way. I heard the heavy footsteps falter before following jason down the alley. "come back to me jason. I need you" I wispered. I was out of breath when I finally made it home. I ran all home not stopping until I saw the old, dirty motel I called home. I stayed up late waiting for jason to return but to my horror he didn't return.

sorry for the mistakes. I hope you liked it.

PROMISES, PROMISES. pt.2

"my moms probably out with her boyfriend. do you want to spend the night at my house?" I asked as we walked up the stairs of our apartment building. the elevator in this old dump didn't work, so stairs it is."yeah but I'm going to take a shower first. I'll see you in a bit." I nodded and let go of his hand when we finally reached his door. "don't take long or I'll eat this whole pizza without you." I told him, snatching the pizza out of his hand. quickly running to my home across the hall. "yeah right." he said as he closed the door behind him. rolling my eyes I opened the door to the apartment I shared with my mom and her boyfriend, dave. it was small and smelly because dave refuse to leave his work boots outside. everytime I would complain to my mom she would pretty much tell me to suck it up. my mother loves dave, she's had a lot of boyfriends in her life but there was something about dave that makes her forget all of her self repect. she bends to his every will. so I shouldn't be surprise when I came home and everything was gone. our couch, T.V. table, hell even the microwave was missing. "mom?!" I yelled through the house only to resceive no answer. were we robbed? was my mother hurt or worse dead. yeah I hated her obsessive with smelly dave but I still love her, I still need her. she's the only parent I have left. my father is dead, killed in a robber gone wrong. I wasn't born yet so I never knew him and according to my mom he didn't know about me either. she and jason was all that I had. 

I jumped at the sudden sound of someone cursing, coming from my mom's room. "mom?" I called out, slowly made my way to the only bedroom in the apartment. opening the door and peaking my head through, I expected to see men dressed in black clothes climbing in and out of the window with our stuff. instead I saw my mother running around her room like a chicken with it's head cut off, grabbing everything she could and throwing it in a suitcase. her room was almost completely cleaned out, except for a small dresser and a few of her clothes. "mom?" I pushed open the door all the way. "what are you doing? and why is all of our stuff gone" I asked. watching my mother continue to run around the room, like I didn't just speak to her. "MOM!" I yelled. she sighed. "Y/n, I am so sorry" she said still not looking at me. still packing her suitcase. "I thought I had more time to clear everything out. I lost track of time" I am confused, what does she have to be sorry for? what is going on? "mom--" "dave and I are leaving." she finally turned to face me but her eyes couldn't reach mines. "dave is getting a new job in starling city, it will be a new start for him and he asked me to come with him." I looked at her like she was insane. "and you said yes?" "jason's mom is going to take you in, you're stuff is already there, she said you could share a room with jason and--" "you sound insane!" she turned back to her suitcase and quickly zipped it up. "I really thought you would be gone longer." she sighed picking up her suitcase and walked in front of me. "when are you coming back?" I asked ignoring the fact that if I hadn't come home early enough she would have just left without saying anything. "I don't know---" I scoffed my eyes started to blur with tears. "you're my mom. you're suppose to look after me, protect me and instead you're leaving me so you could run off with smelly dave." she scoffed and she rolled her eyes. "my whole life I've been taking care of other people. first it was my parents and then it was my grandmother and then it was you. it's time I did something for me." I stared at her in disbelief "you're my mom" wet warm tears slipped from my eyes. my mom pulled into a hug. it wasn't tight or warm, it was a goodbye hug. "I pray one day that you'll forgive me." she dropped her arms before pushing past me. I stumbled back but she didn't seem to care. in a last minute attempt to get my mother to say I jumped on her legs. keeping her from walking. "y/n!" she yelled kicking her legs out to shake me off of her. "mommy please don't leave me. I need you!" I yelled holding onto her even as she made it to the door and into the hallway. all while yelling at me to let go. "get off you brat!" dave yelled coming out of nowhere. he grabbed my hands to pry me off of her. "No! she's my mommy! mommy please don't leave me. I'll be good. I'll do anything. please" I begged. dave mangage to hold me down while my mother ran down the hall not stopping until she was out of sight. "I'll see you around brat." he said laughing as he got off me and then followed after my mother.

I sat in the hall crying when jason finally came out. I immediately ran into his arms. he didn't hesitate to wrap his arm around me and hold me like our life depended on it. "fairy, what wrong? " he asked wrapping his arms held me tight in a protective yet comforting manner. "my mom-- she left" I cried pulling away, only slightly, to look at him. "she packed her bags and left with dave. she's not coming back" I explained crying into his shirt. jason was silent. he didn't know what to say. on one hand he hated my mom and didn't mind she was finally gone but on the other he saw how much her leaving hurt me and was mad she left. "I'll take care of you fairy. come you'll stay with me for now on ok?" I nodded as he lead me into his apartment, which I've been in a thousand times. laying on the couch was jason mother catherine. she had needles and and empty bottles around her and she looked like she wouldn't be able to sit up by herself. "come on let's go in my room." the only time we pulled away was the few seconds it took for us to crawl in the small bed together. jason was behind me holding me and god did I feel like a baby. but truth be told jason is the only person I would allow to see me like this. "I love you jay." I wispered "I love you too y/n." the rest of the night was meet with us laying in silent until I finally got tried and fell asleep.

"PROMISES, PROMISES"

"jason hurry up he's going to be back any minute." I said nervously glancing around the empty ally. "I'm almost done just give me a minute" the door to the strip club opened and a very drunk man covered in glittter stumbled out. "shit jay he's coming" I said watching the guy pick an argument with one on the bouncer who's left bicep is bigger then the drunk guy's whole head. "and.... done. come on lets go." he put the tire in our wagon, grabbed my hand and pulled me behind the dumpster. we watched in silent as the guy walked towords his car. I guess he was done arguring with the guy twice his size. he was so drunk he didn't notice his new tires weren't on his expensive new car. "I could have gotten the batteries too if I had time." I rolled my eyes, jason was always an overachiever and alittle greedy. he wouldn't have been happy if he had stripped the whole car. "jason shush" I said peaking out from the behind the dumpter and watched as the man turned on his car and attempted to drive away. his car made a loud shriek as metel scaraped on the concrete. I winced at the horrible sound. "jay lets make a run for it before we get caught. I said he nodded and grabbed the handle to the wagon. we ran as fast as we could past the man, now getting out of his car to see what that horrible sound was. "those are my tires! HEY! get back here you hoodlums!" he yelled. I glance behind me and watched as he tried to run after us but tripped and face planted in the ground. jason and I shared a laughed but continued to run.

I was breathing heavy when we finally came to a stop three blocks away from where we took the tires. "you're getting to greedy jay, we almost got caught." I complained. jason sucked his teeth at me. "we were fine y/n" I rolled my eyes and opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off. "you're my special fairy nothing can go wrong when I have you by my side." he grabbed my face and kissed my cheek. my cheeks felt hot. "come on let's get these to greg before that drunk fool report them stolen." I said jason smirked and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "whatever you want fairy" he said using his other arm to pull the wagon behind us. "I get nervous stealing from rich people, the police actually care if they're stuff gets stolen" I said glancing behind me to make sure no one was following us. "the the fact that there's a shadow out there taking out bad guy--" "we're not bad buys" jason interrupted me "we're just kids trying to survive" he said glaring down at the pavement. he is angry. I sighed and entwined my hand into his. "you're right. we're not bad guys, just kids trying to eat." I sighed "that's why I love you jay, you keep me sane." I said kissing his cheek. his face turned bright red. "I love you too y/n" he said turning his face away so I wouldn't see him blush. I giggled "aww jay you're blushing." I teased he sucked his teeth at me "you wish. I'm red from running not because you kissed me!" he yelled sticking out his bottom lip in a pout "whatever helps you sleep at night" I laughed as we turned down a alley. it was dark except for a small light neon light hanging above an old rusty door that read 'greg's garage'. I knocked three times.

it didn't take long for the sqeaky door to open and a chubbly old man stood on the other side. "get ready to pull out the big bucks greg we got some wheels for you" jason said, well more like yelled. I don't think jason knows what a inside voice was. "quite down kid. I have neighbors" greg ushered us in, flipping on the lights. "let me see these tires." greg put on his glasses and studied the tires "what kind of car you steal these from." "BMW" I answered. greg let out a low whistle. "good steal kid" he stood and walked over to his safe. "jay I'm hungry" I said whining. "what did you eat today?" he asked but he already knew the answer. it was the same thing he had. absolutely nothing. "mom had her friend over when I got up, so I had to sneak out" I told him. jason nodded in understanding but I could tell he was angry. he hated my mom, he though she was worse then his because she slept with that gross man she calls her boyfriend. his words not mine. "how about we get some pizza for dinner?" I nodded and my mouth started watering at the thought "can we get breadsticks too?" he nodded "of course" my stomach started growling. "hurry up old men, we're hungry!" I yelled "calm down. calm down, here's your money" he handed me a stack of money and I instantly started counting it. "five-hundred" I said looking at jason for approval. jason is the one who knew about cars not me. he nodded "nice working with you old man" he said as I pocket the cash. "yeah whatever kid." greg rolled his eyes and walked us out. it was cold outside, like always.

gothem was known for a couple of things. the most famous one being our criminals and the second being how we have no sun. of course that wasn't true, we had sun. it's just our city was so polluted the sun can hardly be seen. we begain to walk when greg stopped us once again "hey kid wait up" greg disappered into his shop before coming back out. he handed jason somthing that I couldn't see "protect your fairy" he said before going back into his shop. my heart stopped for a seconded when I saw a gun in his hand. "jay--" jason tucked the gun in his wasite band. which didn't hide it well due to him being a skinny twelve year old. "let's go get somthing to eat, can't have my fairy starving to death." he said his arms tightening around my shoulder. I sighed "just promise you'll be careful" I said jason rolled his eyes "fair--" "promise me jay" he sighed knowing I wasn't going to drop it unless he promised "I promise"
