I was sitting on the edge of the skyscraper that was 15 stories tall, it was one a.m. The orphanage didn't know where I went, they probably haven't even noticed yet that I'm gone. I looked down at the street and smiled. I was ready to say goodbye, but I had to honor the memory of one person first.
The monks came and sat me down, I had thought for my lesson. But I was wrong.
"Raven, we think you need to go back to Earth." They told me.
"What?" I asked.
"Today someone killed your mother, because she had you. It is no longer safe for you here child. You know mostly how to keep your powers under control, so you must leave. Goodbye." Azar spoke, after that I saw a portal open behind me and then I was in an apartment. Apparently, it was registered under my mother's name, and her dead body was right next to me. The police showed up a little while after and took me away to an orphanage. Everyone at the orphanage treated me like glass, one small step and I would break. Later I learned it was because they found out I was born of rape. I tried running away but it never worked.
I looked down at the cement and thought of my mother, she endured a painful life she didn't deserve, because of me. I pushed myself off the edge and closed my eyes, but I never hit the ground. After about a minute I opened my eyes and saw I was on about the 10 floor, held up by a bat shaped hook attached to a rope. Quickly, I fumbled trying to detach the hook from my waist, I was in too much of a panic to use my powers correctly. The bat's seemed to be trying to open the window probably to grab me. My hands couldn't seem to get the hook off my waist and that was when I felt I was being pulled into the building, I thrashed around a bit but it didn't work. I was inside. Looking around the room, I noticed Nightwing and Batman.
"Where is your family?" Batman finally asked, after a century of quiet.
"Dead." I replied.
"How old are you?" He asked.
"15." I informed him.
"Is there anyone we can contact to get you home?" Nightwing wondered.
"I don't have a home. I live in an orphanage. They are very different things." I scoffed and after that I felt sadness from Nightwing, perhaps he knew something or other about that.
"Which one?" Batman asked.
"Doesn't matter." I told him, getting up and dusting off my jeans and long-sleeved skull shirt. "I'll be going, good luck with the whole saving Gotham thing." I waved and started to walk away when Nightwing appeared in my path and shook his head.
"Come on let's get you back to the orphanage," he told me.
"I'm not going back there," I replied, but then felt a prick in my side and I blacked out. When I woke up I found myself back in my room in the orphanage. "Damn bat's." I muttered.
"That's not very nice," I heard a voice say and I jumped around turning my body 180 degree's, falling off my bed. Then I saw Nightwing.
"What the hell?" I demanded.
"Just wanted to assure you of how you got here, also don't try what you did last night. It won't work," He told me then disappeared out my window. I sighed and returned to my bed to get some more sleep. Soon enough it was night again and I snuck out the back door, through the forest, and to an old bridge which ran over a shallow stream. I went up on the bridge and climbed over the edge, I looked around for any sign of a Bat or anyone really. I didn't see anything so I looked up at the star's in the clear midnight sky.
"I'll see you soon father," I whispered to myself, so quietly you would have to have super-hearing to know what I had said. I looked down at the water and tried to push off the side, but someone caught my arm. "Damnit!" I cursed, "Let go!" I demanded but they pulled me up. Soon I see it's just Batman, he was pulling on my arm as well as my jacket sleeve, threating to rip it. Quickly though, I was up on the bridge again. "Why can't you let me leave?" I demanded.
"Because, you have a life to live." He told me.
"Back in that hell-hole, I don't think so. And who would want to adopt me? I have purple eyes, midnight sky hair, and paler than snow white skin. Besides I don't deserve to live," I informed him.
"You do deserve to live, and I'll work on getting someone to adopt you." He argued.
"No. The rest of the kid's need a good home a lot more than I do. Help them, they deserve it. They need it. I don't." I told him then stood up, "You know when you make me go back there, I'm just going to run again."
"I know, but it's all I can do for now."
"Maybe just stop trying, it'll be easier for the both of us."
"Maybe," he replied before I saw a dart hit me, "Here we go again." I whispered and then passed out.
