Gotham city, home to the billionaire and CEO of Wayne Enterprises, Bruce Wayne and the Dark knight Batman. The city was lively, with people walking and traffic flowing. We find ourselves in the prestigious Gotham Academy where only the children of the upper class could go, with the exceptions of a few who earned their places with scholarships.
We find ourselves in a mostly filled classroom, the teacher wasn't in the room after she had being called out by the headmistress. After the teacher had left, everything quickly dissolved into chaos, people throwing paper at each other, others gossiping. In the corner of the class, Hadrian Lance was listening to music while reading a book until he was tapped on the shoulder by another student "What?" He asked without looking up from his book.
"Did you hear what happened in Star City?" The girl asked. Hadrian rose an eyebrow at her after closing the book "What happened? City overrun again?" He asked sarcastically making the girl roll her eyes "No. Damien Darhk broke out of prison!" The class went silent.
"What?" Hadrian asked in a low voice. The girl blinked "I thought you knew… cause ya know you're from Star City?" Hadrian didn't even give a response as his name was called over the intercom. A feeling of dread quickly came over him. He packed up his things and made his way out of the class, who all had their eyes on him.
As he made his way to the Headmistresses office, Hadrian had multiple scenarios running through his head. Unbeknownst to the raven haired teen, a boy with similar eyes and black hair was observing him. At the office, Hadrian was greeted by his father, Quentin and the last person he thought he would see in Gotham, Oliver Queen.
Harry walked up to his father and hugged him "Hey Dad! What has you in Gotham?" As he hugged his father, Hadrian felt the man tense. Letting him go and taking a step back, Hadrian looked at the two "Ollie… I never thought you would come to Gotham. Whatever it is… it must be serious" Hadrian said in amusement but the two men had morbid looks on their faces. Hadrian looked concerned "Guys? What's wrong? Aside from Darhk breaking out of prison?" Quentin closed his eyes, while Oliver gained a pained look on his face "Dad? Ollie? What's wrong? What happened?!" Hadrian asked as the feeling of dread became stronger.
Quentin tried to speak, but couldn't find the words, so Oliver told Hadrian what had happened in Darhk's prison break out "When word got out that Damien Darhk broke out, it was an all hands on deck" the emerald archer whispered, which was out of Character for him "Everyone tried to stop him… but Laurel" Hadrian felt tears forming and tried to blink them away "Hadrian… she um." This had to be a joke right?!
Hadrian looked at Quentin "Dad, this is a joke right? Laurel is alive!" Quentin pulled Hadrian into a hug "I'm sorry kiddo" the man said. Hadrian let out a choked noise as he tried to back away "No… dad no. Dad no!" The teen denied, refusing to believe that his sister was dead. Quentin pulled the struggling teen into a hug as Hadrian broke down sobbing "I got ya…" Quentin muttered into Hadrian's hair as the teen continued to cry.
Time skip
After Hadrian had being told that Laurel was… dead, Quentin had went around to get the car, leaving the teen with Oliver. Oliver hated the look on the teens face "Oliver… what a surprise to see you here."
A deep male voice spoke from behind the two star city residents.
Oliver turned around with a small smile on his face "Bruce! Good to see you!" The Emerald Archer greeted back "What brings you to Gotham?" The billionaire asked Oliver, whose pained look had returned "We came to bring Hadrian home."
Bruce rose an eyebrow at him "We?" Hadrian glanced at Bruce "My dad, Quentin Lance." The teen whispered. Bruce looked at Oliver and put two and two, together "Your sister was Laurel? I'm so sorry. I know what it's like to lose someone close." Bruce spoke genuinely, while Hadrian grit his teeth, but stayed silent.
Oliver eyed the kid that had appeared next to Bruce "Oh? Is this your son Bruce?" Bruce put a hand on his son's shoulder "Yes, this is my son, Damian Wayne." The CEO said proudly. Before anyone could say anything, a car horn could be heard in the school parking lot "Ah, that's our ride. Goodbye Bruce." Oliver said as he and Bruce shook hands.
Damian looked at the car as it drove off "So that was Green Arrow?" The boy wonder asked. Bruce nodded "Yes it was." The Dark Knight said as his phone began to buzz.
