EMOTIONLESS
"How could you let him live?"
"Jason, you know-"
"I know fully well. But . . . I DIED. Don't you get it?"
I turned around from Bruce and looked at Joker. He killed me and now I'm alive. It's Bruce's fault for not killing him. He should have died before he could even have the chance.
"I HATE YOU."
I ran away and went to a place even Bruce wouldn't go. I sat there under a tree for the longest time. Thinking. It stayed like this between us for at least five years. Until I learned about Damian. One like me. He's killed and he's violent. I was at the top now so I didn't have much free time but it was especially dead tonight so I sat down at the old creaking wooden desk, pulling out a yellowed paper and an almost dried up pen. And I wrote to Bruce for the first time since the incident.
'Hey Dad, Writing to you, not to tell you that I still hate you. Just to ask you how you feel. And how we fell apart, how this fell apart. Are you happy out there in this great wide world? Do you think about Dick or I? How's Barbara? When you lay your head down how do you sleep knowing that one of your own died? Do you even wonder if we're alright? Well I talked to Dick last month. He's fine and so am I. It's been a long hard road without you by our side. Why weren't you there when we cried. You broke us. It's not okay. But we're alright. I remember when I wanted to be the Batman. Not anymore. I spent so many years learning how to survive. Now I'm writing just let you know we're still alive.
The days I spent so cold and hungry. I was angry because it could be different. If only you had changed. The scars from lost fights hurt and I'll take things to my grave that you'll never know. But I'm okay. It's been hard without you. It's not okay Bruce, but I'm okay. Seeing as I'm an unwanted son. But sometimes, I forgive. And this time I'll admit I miss you. I'm thinking of coming with Dick to Christmas this year. If your alright with it. Bye Dad.
Jason, the unwanted son.'
I read over it five times before putting it in an envelope. I write the address for Wayne Manor and hop on my bike. I speed through Gotham as I see the mansion rolling over the hill. I stop a little out so they can't hear me. I put it where Bruce or one of the others will see it. Then I get back on my bike. Just as I start leaving the driveway Dick comes into view. I stop as he comes right next to me. I see in his hand a note as well.
"Hey Dick, you going in for a visit?"
"Nah, I gotta get back to Bludhaven. Just wanted to drop something off."
"I'll take it for you. I left something too. I can put yours with mine."
"It would be nice to see Alfred. And his food. I never knew the salary of a cop was so low. I can barely get any food."
Just then my stomach rumbles as well. We look at each other as I turn my bike around. We drive up to where I left my note and grab it then continue to the front door. Before we can even get off Alfred comes and grabs us. He almost drags us inside and places us down in the living room. A little kid comes out and he looks like a mini Bruce so he must be Damian, the new Robin. Another kid comes out. He's a little shy but he runs up to Dick and holds him. I feel out of place as I turn to stand only to see Bruce himself.
"H-hey Dad."
A/N: I do not own the song emotionless or any DC characters. I was hanging out with ghost and Gemini and well we got a bunch of fanfic ideas. Ghost is typing one we all formed and Gemini and I are working together on this. There will be many of these and they are all song inspired. Sorry iPod version Fanfic is really stupid and deletes all spacing basically. -Leo
