2. Chapter 2

Samantha P.O.V
I wake up in my bed. Bruce must've put me in here. I pull the covers off me and I sit up in my bed. Alfred comes in with my breakfast and a list of what Bruce wants me to do.
"Master Bruce has requested that you go to his office right away." Alfred tells me.
"Okay." I reply. Alfred leaves the room and I get out of bed and put on my dressing grown. I walk to Bruce's office and knock the door.
"Come in." He calls. I walk through the door and see Bruce at his desk at the end of the room. I walk up to his desk and I try to smile but fail.
"Listen Sam, I got a phone call last night. It was from Jason." Bruce tells me.
"Jason?!" I gasp.
"Yeah, he said that he wants you to meet him at the new restaurant in up town." Bruce says. I feel my face go red.
"When?" I ask.
"In an hour." Bruce replies. I run out the room smiling my face off. I run to my room and grab my red dress and run to the bathroom. I put my dress on the rail on the door and grab my old make up bag.
I put on all my things and I run down stairs to meet Bruce at the door.
"You look beautiful." He tells me.
"Thanks." I say. I run out to the car. Bruce and Alfred get in the car and Alfred drives to the restaurant.
"Sam I'll be in the office at work. If you need me just give me a call." Bruce tells me as I get out the car.
"Okay." I reply. I walk to the front doors of the restaurant and go through them. I get showed my table and I sit and wait. An hour goes by and I start to worry. His not going to show up is he? I go to stand up when a wall goes passing in front of my table. I scream and run. Everyone has left before me. A masked person jumps in front of me and grabs me. He takes me on top of a building. He puts me on my feet and he walks to the edge and looks down to the ground. "What do you want from me?" I ask him.
"Just don't panic." He replies. His voice... I've heard it before. He turns back around. He puts his hands at the back of his head. He takes off his mask and I see who he is.
"Jason!" I gasp.
"Hey Sam." He says. I look at him without saying a word.
"Listen. I know you probably mad right now. But, I never wanted this for you, I didn't think it would happen." Jason says as he walks towards me. I stop him by putting my hand on his chest.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask.
"I wish I could have, but its not that simple to just come out with it." Jason replies.
"I trusted you. I even told you that I loved you!" I snap. I run to a wall and hit my fist off it. I pull my hand back to find its bleeding. Jason comes over to me and holds my hand that's bleeding.
"I know you love me and trust me, but I couldn't tell you that I was Red Hood. You don't know its been like. Going out there alone and scared that I'll never see you again." He tells me.
"But you... you left me. And you've only just came back and I don't know if I can trust you any more." I say.
"Would it make you feel better if I told you that I know the man who killed your parents?" Jason asks me. I stagger back.
"You found him?" I ask. "Yes, and you won't believe who it was." He replies. I look out towards Wayne enterprise and I look back at Jason.
"Take me to him." I order.
"Not yet. I think Bruce should tell you why his never home." Jason tells me. I turn around and see Batman standing there.
"Just the person we needed." Jason says.
"Let her go Jason." Batman threatens.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"Sam, I should have told you earlier." Batman says. He reaches for his mask and takes it off.
"Bruce? But why?" I ask.
"To stop people like you losing your parents like I did." He replies.
"Then why did I lose them?" I ask.
"Sam look, I'm sorry. I didn't get there in time. By the time I got there they were dead." Bruce replies. I grab hold of my chest. The fire has started again. I fall to my knees. I look up and see my parents.
"We're sorry honey. We didn't want you to find out this way." My Mom tells me.
"Mom." I moan. I feel Jason wrap his arms around me. I take a deep breath.
"Take me to him now Jason." I order.
"Sam-" Bruce starts but he stops. I stand up and let go of my chest. I hold on tight to Jason.
He takes me to a old warehouse. He takes me through the machines to a old room. "His in there." He tells me. I walk in and I see the man who murdered my parents. Joker.
"Oh hey. Who's this girl Jay?" Joker asks Jason. Jason hits him around the face with a crowbar.
"Shut it clown." He threatens. I walk up to the Joker.
"You murdered my parents." I say.
"Oh yeah. Now I remember you." Joker laughs.
"I watch as your parents eyes burned and then they were lay still, dead!" He laughs. I grab a gun off Jason and point at Joker's head.
"I wouldn't mess with me." I threat.
"The girls got style. She learn it from you Jay?" Joker jokes. I go to pull the trigger but I stop.
"I won't kill you, but I'll make sure you won't kill anyone else." I say.

Bruce P.O.V

I sit in the Batcave typing on the computer. Turning to find the place Jason took Sam to. She can't kill Joker, she won't be able to stop. The old warehouse in down town. I put my mask back on and get in the car. I drive to the ware house and when I get there I hear a gun shot. I get out the car and run towards the door. I kick it open and run in. I see Sam holding a gun pointing towards the ceiling, she's fired a round. But it hasn't hit anyone, thank god.
"Oh hey Bats!" Joker shouts. I glare at him and he turns away from me.
"Jason, what are you doing?" I ask.
"Giving her what she wants. Joker dead and out the way." Jason replies.
"Do it Sam. You could end it all right now, just think me and you could go around the world without a care in the world." Jason tells Sam.
"Don't do it. If you do you can't stop what will happen to you in the future." I say reaching out for Sam. Sam looks at me then at Jason and finally at Joker. She points the gun at Joker, but her hand shaking.
She lets go of the gun and walks out the building.
"Bats what you think your doing? She could have got what she wanted!" Jason snaps.
"No, you could've got what you wanted." I say.
"He killed her parents!" Jason yells.
"But he killed you and I never killed him for it." I tell him. Jason shots at me and I dodge each bullet.
"STOP! STOP IT THE PAIR OF YOU!" Sam yells from the door way. I turn to she her eyes are red.
"What happened to you?" I ask. "I finally see why I've got this anger, it's because of everyone. Their fears, their terror, it feeds me." Sam replies.
"Sam, your going to that place, don't go there, once your there you can never get out." I warn her. Joker chuckles to himself. I throw a Batarang at him to make him pass out.
"You don't understand Sam. You go there then you can say goodbye to Jason, you can say goodbye to your parents." I warn again. Her gets full of worry. "Mom, father, help me." She says towards a empty space. She falls to her knees again holding her chest I walk up to her and kneel beside her.
"I don't want this." She says looking up at me.
I sit by Sam in my house as she drinks a hot chocolate.
"How do you feel?" I ask her.
"Better. I don't know what happened back there. One minute I was listening to you and Jason, then I just lost it. I've never felt that much anger at once." She replies.
"Don't worry I'm going to be around more. I want you to be my new Batgirl I could use your help." I say. Sam sighs then looks at me.
"I'm sorry Bruce but I'm being like Jason and Dick." She answers.
