PART ONE: Love and Death
Maria Troy was typing her reports on the teams recent mission and she looked over at the picture of her and Jason. The second Robin. She smiled as she remembered the fist time she met him.
Flashback:
Maria and Dick entered the cave through the elevator. Batman was sipping tea that Alfred had just served. Dick crossed his arms.
Dick: Ok Bruce, Why'd you call us here? We have a city to protect ya know.
Voice: So they're the infamous Titan Leaders huh? Wow
They turned to see a boy a little younger then them. He was wearinga new version of Robin's old costume. He was smirking smugly and he walked around them evaluating them.
Jason: I'm Jason, I'm the newest member of the bat family. You wondergirl have a 'wonder'ful rack.
Dick clenced his fist and went to go foreward but Maria beat him to the punch. She slapped him so hard it sent him flying towards Bruce, who caught him with one arm. He stumbled back onto his feet. Maria walked towards him and grabbed him by the front of his costume.
Maria: Listen here boy, you will from now, on, talk and treat women with respect. If you talk this way to a female again I will remove the appenge without killing you and you will live the rest of your life dickless.
Jason: Yes Ma'am
She let him down. Dick was laughing and Jason had a blush spread across his face and he looked down ashamed. Maria just simpley smiled kindly.
End Flashback
She laughed softly and completed her report and save it to Nightwings's folder, where he could acess it and reveiw it. Sometimes he was just like the Bats. Dick had gone ahead to greet Bruce and Jason back from their mission in Russia. She smiled and went and changed into her Civies. She waved goodbbye to Megan and Conner who were currently sitting together and watching some action movie. All she heard was a woman crying over her dead lover. She rolled her eyes. She hated movies like that.
She entered the transporter code for the Batcave and she entered. She made it to the cave. No one was there. That was strange since that was usually where they had catch up sessions. She heard the Elevator ding and it opened revealing a very solem Alfred. His eyes looked mmore tired then usual.
Alfred: Miss Maria, Master Richard and Master Bruce are waiting for you upstairs in the study.
Maria's eyes widdened slightly. She knew that tone. She suddenly realized what was missing. She ran into the elevator. She ran to Bruce's Study and slammed the door open.
Maria: Where's Jason!
Dick stood up and Bruce looked down. Maria clenched her teeth, she began to tremble and tears began leakng down her cheeks. She fell to her knees and covered her face with her hands and began sobbing uncontrolably. Dick kneeled down and took her into his arms. He clenched his eyes shut to prevent tears from escaping. Maria sobbed into his chest. Alfred stood in the hallway and for once he let his butler posture slip. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, he let out a mournful sigh. Bruce just sat there and watched the floor. Maria's cries echoed in his ears. He clenched his eyes shut. He felt as if the world around him were falling apart. He knew he couldn't just leave though. He had to stay...he had to stay strong..for them..
The computer announce the arrival of WonderGirl. Maria walked in eyes red and glassed over. She had a clear tremble as she clencehed her fist. Megan moved to go comfort her friend but Aqualad stopped her. They couldn't help her. She entered her office and locked the doors. They heard crashing but they didn't go to check on her. When you're a hero...when you put your life on the line. These things happen.
A week later...
The Team was sitting around going over reports when Tsunami rushes into the Tower. She is beaten and bloodied, tears are flowing freely from her eyes. Her arm is sliced and there are two gouge marks on her theigh.
Nightwing: Corrie what happened!
Tsunami: The Joker! The Joker! He- He-
She let a out a sob and crossed her arms to stop herself from shaking.
Tsunami: He took Roy!
Maria had dropped a glass. Her eyes filled with rage. Tsunami collasped into Aqualad's arms. She sobbed and the team became horrified. The Titans quickly suited up and were out the door. Maria was still standing there. In complete shock. She put on her armor and was in gotham before the Titans. They had taken the ship. She took the portal. She was quickly able to hack Batman's files and found Jokers most likely holding warehouse. She left Batman and note and was gone.
Batman came down the elevator ten minutes later. He see that his computer has been activated and on the screen is a note.
Bruce: Red Arrow has been taken by the joker. Warehouse 7 in the docks. I will get there and subdue him. Contact the league in case we need back up -Maria
Batman crumbled the paper in his hands and threw it. He glared at the screen and activated his com link.
Green Arrow: Go ahead Bruce.
Batman: Joker has Roy...sending you coordinets.
The line went dead but he knew Green Arrow had received the message. He just hoped to god that Roy would be saved. Just so Ollie wouldn't have to go through what he just had. No one deserves that sorrow. He was sure Maria was thinking the same thing. He also knew Maria was out for blood.
At the Warehouse...
Maria had just beaten down the door. She quickly disabled all of the goons that Joker had hired. She heard echos of Jokers laughter and Roy's grunts of pain. She heard metal scrape the floor. She rounded a cornor and saw Joker about to put a bullet in Roy's head.
Maria: Don't you dare shoot him Joker.
Joker looked up with that grin plastered on his face. He pointed the gun at her and fire nine rounds. One hit her arm. She blocked the rest. Jokers grin quickly faded when he realized she was suffering no pain. He growled and went to put a bullet in Roy's head but all he got was a empty click indicating he was out of bullets. He growled and dropped the gun and went to grab a joker gas pellet. She threw a dagger into his hand. She rushed foreward and pinned him down to the ground with her heel. Crushing his ribs. He grunted in pain then smiled and laughed painfully.
Joker: Guess it's back to Arkahm for now. Oh well, at least I killed one sidekick. At least it was the one that matter.
Maria's eyes widdened in shock then narrowed in broke severel ribs and went over and grabbed the crowbar. She looked at Joker, scowl plastered on her face, and took the crowbar and smacked him across the face. It left a huge gash in his cheek and she continued beating him. She broke his arms and legs. Crushed his pelvis. Severed his shoulder from it's pocket.
Maria: How dare you have the audacity to keep smiling like that. In front of me! You killed him! You godamn killed him! I'll make you suffer! You'll wish I would just kill you!
Before she could deliver a final blow she heard a beeping sound. She looked over to see ove 300 pounds of C4 explosived set to go off in two minutes. Maria threw the crowbar far away.
Maria: I'll tell you this. If you no longer want me to break every bone in your body everytime they heal, you'll do the world a favor and just die. Maria kicked his head so his ears began bleeding. She picked up Roy and walked out of the warehouse. She placed roy aginst a far away building and She turned and looked at the building that held the most insane man in the world. The warehouse blew up. She didn't even flinch. The fire burned in her eyes as pieces came crashing down. She heard a yell behind her. Green Arrow..Batman..The Titans and the mentors of the league showed up. They all gasped atthe horror that was before them. There was Maria coverd in someone blood. Some of Roy's and most of Jokers. Superman and Superboy rushed past her and began putting out the fire. Tsunami, Green Arrow and Zatanna tended to Roy. Aqualad, Aquaman..Artemis..Kid Flash helped put out the fire. The martians were forced to stay back. Batman and Wonder Woman approached Maria and demanded to know what had hapened. She ignored them and watched as the fire dimmed. As the roar as the fire faded she heard the worst noise in the universe erupt. Jokers laugh. Her face became clear with rage. She watched as Superman dragged Jokers bloody body from the warehouse. He was laughing and starring straight at Maria. Taughting her. Asking her to kill him. She glared at him then turned away and flew off. Wonder Woman went to go after her but Bruce put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. He knew where she was going and he would get her later.
The Skies grew dark in Gotham. Sprouting lightning followed by large blast of thunder. She landed at the Wayne manor cemetary. She walked to Jason's grave. She layed besides it and put her hand where his cheek would of been if he had been there.
FlashBack:
A storm was erupting outside and Maria was staying at Wayne manor for the night. Jason knocked on her door and entered. Maria was sitting on the window ceil. She smiled at him. He blushed slightly
Maria: What's wrong Jay?
Jason: I'm uh- Uh- nevermind.
He went to leave.
Maria: Wait..I know Jay,
She pulled him under her bed and layed there with him. She giggled at this childish act but she cuddled up to Jason. They Spent the night under the bed and that whole night Jason wasn't woken up by the thunder or his nightmares.
EndFlashback:
She closed her eyes and her tears began to mix in with the rain. Dick walked out to her a few hours later. She was asleep. Shivering slightly. He had seen the whole thing. He had found Joker moments after Maria but he didn't stop her. She let her bury her feeling along with Jason. He knew it was over tonight. He picked her up and carried her inside. He changed her cloths and put her in bed. After he had changed into his own PJ's he slipped into bed with her. She cuddled up to him immediatly. He looked down and saw the tired red eyes of his best friend...His Maria. He looked back at her with his bright blue eyes and kissed her forehead. She didn't stop him. She burried her face into his neck and for that night she was at peace. and so was he.
