Nightwing, Red robin, Robin and batman had been helping out the Red hood since there was a big drug war going on. So none of them were far away when they heard three screams. All the vigilanties headed over.
The first was Red hood, and he was sick to his stomach. He saw two people dead, and one child bleeding out. He jumped down and approached the child.
At first the kid was afraid, but soon felt safe as the man embraced him.
"Are you okay?"
"My parents." was all the child said. Jason sighed. He took off his helmet and sat against a wall, still holding the child.
"Dont worry its alright. Do you want anything?" Jason said. He knew about losing parents.
"I want to go to sleep."
Jason held the child closer and after some thinking started to sing a lullaby he made when he was in Arkham.
How my deeds pain me as time stretches long
How could I have hurt them this way?
So rest easy now, my punishment's mine
The weight of my crimes are my own
But into that stillness you brought me your song
With your voice my company kept
For your tired eyes and sweet lullabies
In exile I pay you my debt
Once did a boy who gleamed like the moon
Look out on his city and sigh
Dejected he cried, "Surely there is no one
"Who loves me, or finds any love in my night."
So great was his pain, he rose in rebellion
Against those who cared for him most
He let the Nightmare fall on those he protected
And threatened to grip them in a terrible war
Lullay, dear Bruce, good night father mine
Rest now in starlight's embrace
May this cool lullaby reach you in dreams
And ease you your passage of days
May my apologies find you this night
And may my sorrow in kind
Bruce, you loved me much more than I knew
Forgive me for being so blind
Soon did his father do what was demanded
And gave to the Red hood his due
Breaking the Harmony, he saved his people
And banished him, as a wise hero must do
Such is the weight of the cowl that we wear, father,
Duties we always uphold;
May you forgive me that foolishness mine
And live on with no burden upon your soul
Lullay, dear Bruce, good night father mine
Rest now in starlight's embrace
May this cool lullaby reach you in dreams
And ease you your passage of days
May my apologies find you this night
And may my sorrow in kind
Bruce, you loved me much more than I knew
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind
The space now before us, empty and forlorn
I never imagined I'd face them all alone
May these sunless seasons swiftly pass, I pray
I love you, I miss you, all these miles away
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon that bed above the lights
And know not of heartache, fear, nor gloom
And when I dream, I'll fly away to meet you soon
Sleep, sleep
Sleep…
Jason called the police and sat their til they came. He left the small boy and continued his patrol. Little did he know all the while his family watched from the shadows.
And as his son left, the famous Batman mouthed, not being able to actually say the words,
I love you too.
