Skeletons In Our Closet

by RHNWRRR

Alexandra Natalia Varvara Sokolov was just a normal Russian assassin. Until she was caught by Batman and was taken under his wing. She developed a friendship with his robin, Jason Todd. After his death, she was never truly the same. But what happens when she finds out that someone is keeping a huge secret from her? Only time will tell.

1. The Voice

Alex's POV * 7 years ago*

"Alexandra!" I ran. Ignoring the voice that was behind me. No. No. No! He can't be dead. No that him. I ran, and ran. I could hear my heart beat. The blood was rushing to my ears. My eyes were burning with the need of crying.

I found myself in a cornered. A shadow came over me. Two big male hand grabbed my waist, pulling me to a hard chest. I heard the person trying to calm me down, playing with my hair. I couldn't keep it cover. I broke down.

"Alex, I am so sorry." Said Dick hugging me tighter. I could feel his on tears fall on my t-shirt. Why was he even crying? He always fought with Jay. It's not like he ever cared.

He was his brother. Brothers fight. The voice inside my head says.

"I am sorry Alexandra, but Jason is dead." The voice of Bruce kept echoing in my head. Jason Todd was dead. And there was nothing I could do.

You promised. You said that you were coming back. Liar. You are a liar. I cried harder

Present Day,

Gotham, Wayne Manor

"Maybe I could help you?" "Maybe you can shut up." I rolled my eyes at the two idiots fighting. They have been at it the entire day. Tim won't let Damian help, and Damian won't stop being an ass about it.

"Could you boys shut it? Damian,just leave Tim alone. Tim stop messing with Damian." I said in a harsh tone.

Bruce had put me in babysitting duty since Dick did it last time. Tim was sick and in a prissy mode. While, Dami was angry that he got grounded for being too rough on a criminal. He shattered his collarbone and broke 3 of his ribs.

Nightwing and Bats where both doing rounds. The orders are if we call, we need your help. It was only matter of minutes before they arrive. I started to walk towards the old grandfather clock. Opening it to the side.

I walked carefully down the stairs trying not to make a sound. I saw both Dick and Bruce standing next to the bat-computer. Dick looked mad. While Bruce carried on with his usual stoic expression.

"She has to find out one day Bruce." Said Nightwing

"We both know her reaction. She will break just like before." Bruce said.

"But we all know she is stubborn. Once she gets a hold on something, she isn't letting go." Said another voice. It couldn't have been Dick, since it was too deep. And it couldn't have been Bruce, the voice was too harsh, for it to be calm Bruce.

"And we are all sure the Replacement and the Demon haven't snitched on me?" The voice added. I could see Dick scowling at the direction the voice was.

"Yes we are sure of it." Bruce answered

"Or we would have a very pissed off assassin Alex on our hands. And we both know she can be merciless when she wants to." Dick added.

"Good. I don't want her to know just yet." Said the voice. Then there was a motorcycle tire screech. What is happening and who is that voice?
