Chapter 1-
5 years ago, that's when it happened. That's when she died. Bruce Wayne had a daughter, she died just before she turned 19. Her name was Kara Athena Wayne. She was also known as BlackBat, a protector off Gotham, she was one of the best. Kara was the eldest of the Wayne Children. Richard Grayson (23) Jason Todd (20), Timothy Drake (18) and Damian Wayne (16) the Bat boys.
When she died her entire family broke. Richard left Gotham and moved to its sister city Bludhaven. Jason distended himself from his family even more. Timothy turned into Red Robin and moved to Jump city to join the Teen Titans. Damian Wayne didn't really change much, but he misses his sister everyday and has vowed to find the person who killed her. Bruce distended himself from the League and became more brutal towards the villains of Gotham, the only thing stopping him from crossing the line was Damian. Alfred missed the chaos and noise that would echo in the hall of the mansion on a daily basis, now there was only silence. Growing up as the daughter of Batman, Kara spent a lot of time amongst the Justice League. So much time that they became family. Every member of the league taught Kara different fighting techniques that she then taught to her brothers once they picked up the mantle of Robin.
Kara Wayne is one of the few people to get three funerals. Karas funeral took place on the grounds of Wayne manor, surrounded by her closest friends and family. Phoenix had two funerals. Her first funeral took place on the watch tower surrounded by every hero that BLack Bat fought alongside at one time or another. Her second funeral was held by commissioner Gordon in Gotham, Black Bat now has a monument in Gotham city Park. Bruce made sure that Karas funeral was a few weeks after BLack Bats to stop people getting suspicious. However, after the accident no body could be recovered from the wreckage of Karas 1967 Ford Mustang. Yep, that's right, Kara wasn't killed in the field, she was killed in a car accident. Bruce blames himself for what happened and here's why
5 years ago
Bruce's P. O.V
We've recently got back from patrol and whilst we were out we came across Scarecrow selling his fear serum to some black market sellers. However we were ambushed by scarecrows men and Damien got hurt because Kara went after scarecrow alone. So after I bandaged Damiens burnt arm I told him and the other boys to go upstairs so I could talk to Kara.
Kara is sat on the couch in the living room looking at the floor. I spoke first
"You could have got your brother killed out there. Damn it Kara, What were you thinking!" she then spoke really quietly
"Scarecrow was getting away. If I didn't go his fear serum would be all over the place"
"And your brother! did you see his arm, Kara. 2nd degree burns. If Dick didn't turn up then it could have been a lot worse" Kara then stood up and yelled
"I know that Dad! The last thing I wanted was for Damien to get hurt. But isn't it you that always says that the job comes first. That's what you raised me on. Damien was raised by the League of Assassins, he knows how to deal with pain"
"You're the eldest Kara, stop acting like a child"
"why do you always do this?"
"Do what"
"I'm only a few months older than Dick so why do you put so much pressure on me?. Why do you expect so much from me? You just expect me to follow you into the field like a good little girl, but I'm not that kid anymore Dad. I am nearly 19 years old so can you please stop expecting so much from me"
"I expect so much from you Kara because you have been doing this the longest, your brothers look up to you, they expect you to lead them when I can't"
"I didn't ask for that. You dragged me into this the second I was old enough. Does it even occur to that I'll be leaving soon to go to college. No wait of course you didn't because you never take me into account. You just want me to be obedient as Dick, Fearless like Jason, Smart like Tim and skilled like Damien but guess what I'm just one girl, I can't be everything you want me to be. That's why I'll never be good enough". She then picked her jacket off the couch and started walking out of the room. I followed her and when we were in the hall I said
"Kara, we aren't finished"
"No, you're right we're not, I have something else to say. Growing up I had more pressure than the boys, the pressure that you put on me as well as everyone in the rest of the damn world. Kara Wayne, daughter of the great Bruce Wayne, I couldn't do anything without it being caught by the media. And now I'm not even good enough as Phoenix all because I followed your stupid rules. I'm never going to be good enough to be your daughter, am i"
"Kara…"
"No actually, care to tell me what I have to do just to make you stop treating me like I'm useless, because that is how you make me feel all the bloody time" I couldn't respond to that, I didn't realise she felt like this. When I didn't say anything thing she put her leather jacket on and as she pulled her hair out from underneath the collar she said
"What nothing to say thought not. I'm going out" she picked up her keys and made her way to the garage. I then yelled to hef
"Where are you going?" she responded with
"Why do you care! " the garage door then slammed and seconds later I heard the faint grumble of a 1967 Ford Mustang.
As the engine noise faded I turned when I heard a quiet voice say
"Father" it was Damian. He'd changed out of his uniform and into a pair of grey joggers and a black t-shirt that showed his bandaged arm. I then said
"What's up Damian?" He sat on one of the steps and said
"Where you and Kara fighting because of what happened to me tonight?" I sighed and sat down next to him. Despite being raised by the league of assassins he really loves Kara and she's brought his child out of him. I then said
"No, Damian. Kara was right, I do put so much pressure on her and in the end she was following my rules. What happened to you tonight, that's on me. She's growing up, she's not my little girl anymore, I just need to come to grips with that"
"Kara's going to move on soon, isn't she?"
"She got to that age. She's getting to that stage when she's ready to leave home or go to college somewhere…Right, time to go to bed, you've got school in the morning"
"What about Kara?"
"She needs to blow off some steam, knowing here, she'll crash at a mates house for the night. She'll be back when you get home from school. Go to bed" he then went upstairs. When I heard his door close I took my phone out and called Kara, it rang a couple of times before going to voicemail
"Hey, this is Kara, sorry I can't come to the phone right now. Please leave me a message and if I remember I'll call you back. Bye" I sighed and left a message
"Kara, it's dad. I know things have been difficult lately and I'm sorry about that. I think I know what you're feeling. Ever since you were a little girl, you've been living with so many unresolved things. Well, take it from an old man. Those things send us down a road... they make us who we are. And if anyone's destined for greatness, it's you, sweetheart. You owe the world your gifts. You just have to figure out how to use them and know that wherever they take you, we'll always be here. So, come home,Kara. I love you!"
The next morning- 8:55 AM
Alfred is currently out on the school run. Dick is enrolled in the 6th form at Gotham Academy, Jason is enrolled at Gotham High, Both Tim and Damien are also enrolled at Gotham Academy. After the events of yesterday night I've decided to work from home today. I've also made this decision because Kara isn't back yet and she still won't answer her phone not even when one of the boys calls. This isn't the first time she hasn't come home but she always keys someone know where she is.
It's currently 8:55 in the morning and I've just finished reading the paper when there was a knock at the door. I put the paper down and went to answer it. When I pulled the door open I saw Commissioner Gordon standing there with a pretty serious look on his face.
"Jim, what an unexpected visit"
"It's not a house call Bruce. Can I come in"
""Of course" I stepped aside so he could come in. When I closed the door behind him he said
"I take it the boys are at school?"
"Yes, Alfred just said took them. What's this about Jim?"
"You may want to sit down Bruce"
"What's going on?"
"Bruce I highly recommend that you sit down"
"Jim just tell me, please"
"Okay, in the early hours of the morning we got a call about a car accident near the cliffs, a bad one. Only one car was involved. By the time police and Firefighters got the the scene there wasn't much of e car left. When I got onto the scene the blaze was dying down but wasn't completely out. There was one casualty but they were trapped inside of the car. The remains are too badly burnt to be identified. But I found this at the crash site" he pulled something out of his coat and handed it to me. I took it from him and recognized the picture instantly, it's the same picture I have on my desk. The picture in question was taken last Christmas. I'm stood behind the coach, Jason is sat on the arm rest, Damien on the other, Tim is sat next to Jason and Dick is sitting with his arms around Kara. We're all happy. I then sad
"No!"
"I'm sorry Bruce but I recognized the number plate and Kara is the only person in Gotham to own a 1967 Mustang"
"She can't be gone, not my little girl… She can't be dead"
So that's how Kara Wayne died. It was ruled as an accident but it really wasn't. Kara was run off the road by a crime lord she'd been investigating for a good friend. The crime lord in question is named Drake 'Nighthawk' Timmerman, a human, drug trafficker. Kara wasn't investigating as Phoenix, she was doing it as normal Kara Wayne, that's why she was targeted. She was investigating Drake because one of her good friends was in trouble and she wanted to help him, his name is Dean Wilson and he has a history with Kara, an intimate history. Kara dug to deep into the investigation so Drake decided to remove her from the equation. However Kara survived the crash…
Damiens P. O.V
It's been 5 years since Kara died. There was so much I had to tell her, so much I had to thank her for but now that's never going to happen. Kara saved my life more times than I ever thought someone could. She saved me from the likes of my mother, Talon, Joker, Scarecrow, Death stroke and she saved me from myself. When I first arrived at Wayne Manor I was, to Quote Jason, I was a little shit. I only cared for revenge of the death of my grandfather no matter who got hurt in the process. But thanks to Kara I learnt how to process human emotions properly and that vengeance isn't everything. If it wasn't for Kara I would probably have gone back to the League of Assassins by now. I owe Kara everything but now I can never repay for everything. I miss her
Tim's P. O.V
5 years ago the Wayne family fell apart. She was the glue that held us all together and stopped us for ripping each other apart. Kara was the one who brought me out of my shell. She told me that it's okay to embarrass who you are despite what others think. She taught me to defend myself and how to use other strengths against them. No matter how far away she is, Kara Wayne will always be my big sister. I miss her
Jason's P. O.V
I wasn't even back a year before she was taken away. Kara helped me and Bruce work out our differences and within a few months everything felt normal, well normal for us anyway. Kara never wanted to admit it but this family needed her. I know that she never asked for any of this to happen but everyone has a destiny and Karas was to hold this family together. Dick was the first one to leave after her death. That Bone head was so stupid to not tell Kara how he felt, and he was so blind that he couldn't see how much he meant to her. I miss her
Dicks P. O.V
I can't believe that it's been 5 years already. 5 years since I last heard her laugh, seen her beautiful smile, held her in my arms. Kara and I basically grew up together and over the years she became so much more than my best friend. Somewhere along the way I fell in love with her but I didn't have the guts to do anything about it. I just pushed those feelings away knowing that she didn't feel the same. When Kara first started dating that Dean guy it did make me a little bit jealous. it's not like I haven't got options, just about every girl on Gotham wants to be with me, but there will only ever be one girl for me. Kara Wayne will always be the girl I love and want to be reunited with. I miss her
