The next morning I woke up to a knock on my door. "Yeah Jess." I say tiredly.
"Come on get up its twelve in the afternoon. I'm going to work." She says outside the door.
"Alright." I rub my eyes as I jump down from the bed as I walk over to the dresser as I comb my hair in the small mirror. The front door shuts meaning Jess left. She has the same car as me but it's white. I twitch a bit; I take out my pills and take one. I put on blue jeans and a white T-shirt. I grab twenty bucks from my desk drawer, I grab my phone and I put socks on then I walk out of my bedroom. I put my sneakers on as I walk down the stairs into the garage. I open the garage door as I grab my keys off the hook. I walk out of the door as it closes behind me slowly. I don't drive in the morning, only when needed to. I walk down the street as I pass houses and people. I walk down to a bagel place about two blocks away. I walk into the place to have the owner shout my name.
"Aay Hanna!" She shouts making people look.
"Hey Nikki, no need to shout my name." I walk up to the counter and I lean ageist the register.
"The usual?" She asks.
"Yeah but this time no coffee, it's too late for that."
"I can tell. How about a Pepsi?"
"Sure why not." I smile a bit. She walks off to the back to get my ham and cheese bagel that's toasted. Yum. I look around the bagel shop at the people then I wanted to shoot myself. My dad was sitting by the window reading the paper. I kept looking over at him for a long while, studying him.
"Looking at someone you like?" Nikki asks making me jump.
"No, just a family friend." I look at her as she places my bagel on the counter along with a can of Pepsi.
"Alright Hanna whatever you say. That will seven fifty." I reach in my pocket for the twenty and I hand it to her. She puts it in the register and gives me back my change. I put it in my pocket as I grab the bagel and can. I walk to the opposite side of the place ageist the wall. I unwrap the bagel and I start to eat it. Great bagel. I look down at the table then to my dad again. I hope my eyes to become bad so I have to wear glasses. He looks so calm as he reads the news. I hate reading. I keep eating till he turns his head slightly and looks over at me. I quickly look away swallowing hard. I take a sip of the soda as I keep looking straight ahead. I look from the corner of my eye to see that he's gone. I sigh deeply as I shack my head. I finish my bagel and soda as I look at my phone to say its twelve thirty. I get up from my seat and I throw my trash away.
"See yea later Nikki."
"Bye Hanna." I walk out the door and I head back home. I walk into alley ways because I don't like being seen by people when I come back from places. Too many creeps looking at you like you're a damn alien. I walk through alley ways for some reason is becoming dark. I look up at the sky to see it's going to rain soon. Damn. I keep walking as it starts to rain right before I get home. I keep walking till I'm grabbed from behind. I turn around and I swing having someone catch my fist. I look closer to see its Scarecrow.
"You look scared." He says.
"I'm not scared of you." I take my fist away from him but he grabs my wrist.
"Why are you trying to get away then?"
"You're a creep." I glare at him as I punch him with my left. I get him square in the face making him let go. I then run off as fast as I can to the back door of the house. I pull out my keys quickly but not quick enough. I'm tackled to the wet ground as I growl in pain. I look up to see Scarecrow.
"What is your problem sack face!?" I try getting up.
"You hit me!" He then sprays his fear gas in my face. I cough a bit as I look at him. But nothing seemed like it changed because I'm use to it for some reason. I've never been around the stuff before, maybe it's all fake in what people say about it. But I twitch again in my eyes, that hurts.
"I see nothing scary. Good job you wasted it on me." I then push him back on the ground as I get on top of him.
"Listen now, leave me alone or I will smack the scary out of you." I look down at him but he laughs.
"Aren't you cute when you're angry." I glare at him then I rip his mask off but I wish I didn't. I look down at the man who is my father.
"You're a crazy psycho... Is that why you left!" I grab his suit jacket.
"What are you talking about child?" I smack him hard in the face.
"SCARECROW GO AWAY! Bring Crane out! NOW!" I made him flinch a bit but then his black eyes turn clear blue. My eye twitches again. Just like mine. He pushes me off making me land in a puddle.
"I didn't leave you, I don't even know you." He says getting up.
"I know." I jump up. "You left before you were to know."
"What are you talking about?" He puts his glasses on.
"They say she went insane and they shot her. I was then left alone without you knowing. Here I am now standing before you." He looked at me like I read that out of a damn book. "Damn it I'm your daughter!" I shout at him. Nothing was heard but rain falling. He walks over to me but punches me in the face real hard. I fall to the ground to have him kick me as well.
"I left because of you." He then walks away as I spit out blood from the punch. I hate him now because I know he was being funny; yeah he knows I'm around.
"That went well." I say to myself as I watch him walk away.
Later I finally got up from the ground and went inside. I went to the bathroom and peeled off my wet clothes, plopping them on the floor. I took my pill again so it wouldn't hurt my eyes. I turn on the water and I get in the warm water. I stand there for a long while looking down at the shower floor like it would move. What did he mean he left because of me? Did mom lie to me that my dad didn't know about me? I punch the wall only to have pain shoot though my hand. I hold my hand as I then shut the water off. I get out and grab my towel from the rack to then have the front door close.
"Hanna are you home?"
"Yes, I'm in the bathroom I'll be right out." I dry off and then wrap the towel around me. I hang up my wet clothes on the towel rack. I then open the door and walk into the hall to my room. I dry my hair a bit as I put on a gray T-shirt and a pair of black jeans. I throw the towel on my bed then I walk out of my room and towards the living room to stop in my tracks.
"Err, Jess." I call out.
"Yeah?" She walks into the room as I raise an eyebrow at Bruce Wayne but she saw something else. "Oh shit what happen to your face?!" I then turn to look at the reflection of the window. Nice, my own dad gave me a bruised cheek.
"Some guy tried to rob me while coming home." I rub my cheek a bit. I look over to Bruce who is standing up.
"Damn it I keep telling you to bring the taser with you." Jess rolls her eyes.
"We are going out to dinner; would you like to join us?" Bruce asks.
"Thanks for offering but no thank you." I smile.
"Suit yourself, I got Stouffer's mac and cheese in the freezer and a small lasagna."
"Alright, have a good time you two." I smile as I wave. Bruce holds the door for Jess then he looks back at me, more like a glare. "On your way." I walk away into the kitchen. He shuts the door and they leave. Bruce doesn't like me much because he thinks I was the one helping behind his parent's death. I knew the guy who killed them well now I don't because some chick shot him. The guy was a good friend of my mom's but then I never heard from him after her death. Somehow my name got out there and now Bruce looks like he wants to kill me. I look at the kitchen clock to see its five in the afternoon. It's either I was outside too long or in the shower. I hope its outside because I drove Jessica's water bill sky high. I pull out the mac and cheese from the freezer, I take it out of the box, peel the plastic off and I set the oven to 350 degrees. I place the plastic box on a metal pan then I wait for the oven to go off. I look down at the floor but then my eye starts to twitch making me growl. I speed walk to my room and I open the door as I walk over to my dresser. I open my shirt drawer and pull out my pills, I take one then I place it back into the drawer. I hate this crap, why did I have to be born with this? I walk out of my room as I hear the oven go off as I walk towards the kitchen. I grab the metal pan then I open the oven door to slide the pan in. I close the door and I set the timer for seven minutes. I walk away into the living room and I turn on the TV to Family Guide. I sit down on the couch as I watch the show as Peter and the giant chicken fight each other. Soon enough the oven goes off again making me get up off the couch. I go back into the kitchen and I grab an oven mitt from the drawer. I open the oven door and I grab the hot metal pan and I place it on top of the stove. I take off the oven mitt and I let my food cool a bit as I grab a plate and put the plastic box on the plate. I grab a fork from the strainer as I walk back into the living room to watch TV again. I start to eat a bit as the mac and cheese is still hot to eat it. I sit there as I feel like the TV is draining me as I start to eat again feeling hungry.
After a long while the plastic box is thrown away, the TV is still on as I'm on the couch asleep. Who knows what's on as I'm quietly asleep but the TV turns off. I jump up quickly from the couch sleepily to only see Jess looking at me. "Oh..Hey. How was dinner?" I ask rubbing my eyes plopping back down on the couch.
"Alright. We talked, had dinner, made out.." She says walking to her room.
"Ohhhhhhh! Jessica and Bruce Wayne! Ha-ha all the way!" I laugh.
"Not funny!" She shouts from her room. I giggle a bit as I look at the blank TV. I look at the green glowing TV clock to see its around ten thirty. Should I go out and kill some people tonight? Why not! I get up from the couch and I walk to my room to see Jess standing in the middle of her door way. "So are you going to tell me how you really got that bruise?"
"I had an encounter with my father." I say walking into my room.
"What? He beat you?!" She says as I throw my shirt on the floor by my closet which I pull out my gray dress shirt along with black dress pants.
"He wasn't that happy to meet me. I have a bad feeling my mother lied to me." I say putting on the shirt and the dress pants. I button the shirt as Jess just looks at me as she is shocked. I put on my black tie as I slip on my shoes as well.
"Lied? What do you mean? Didn't she tell you your father didn't know?"
"But he said he left because of me, so I guess she told him making her go insane." I ball up a fist and I punch the support for my bed.
"Hanna stop you're going to hurt yourself." Jess runs over to me and hugs me so I won't do anything. "It's ok."
"I have to go." I push her away then I grab my gun as I put it in the back of my pants and goggles and mask. I walk away and out of my bedroom living Jess standing there. I put on my mask and goggles as I walk out the back door and I run through the alley ways stepping in puddles as I go. I then clime up on the side of an apartment building to the top. As I stand on top of the roof I look at the lights of the city like every night. I pull out my gun and I look at it.
"Thinking of shooting yourself?" I turn around to see no other then Batman.
"No batty not today or any other day." I put the gun away. "I want to be alone is all." I say looking away.
"I can't let that happen-" I turn around to see that he's gone. I raise an eyebrow as I walk over to the edge to see Batman on the ground but there's someone standing over him. The person looks up at me to be Scarecrow again. I the run from the edge of the building as fast as I can to jump from roof to roof. I keep running till I'm then tackled to the ground. I groan in pain as I landed face first.
"What do you want dad?"
"Johnny Boy can bring you into this world, and I can take you out."
"What? Your talking in a two person."
"Your father is a crazy schizophrenic."
"Great, we aren't a normal family at all." Scary shoves my face into the rocks making my face cut up.
"There is no family! I disown you!" I don't know who that was but I didn't take it well. I grab my gun and I press it ageist his chest.
"I twitch when I don't take my meds on time. Back away or the worse will happen." I grumble from my face being implanted into the rocks. Scary gets off me letting me up having my face bleed.
"You won't shoot your father." Scary says.
"I would if I want to and right now I do." I then walk over to the ledge of the building. "Bye Jonathan." I then jump off the side to the ally way below. I walk off as I take off my mask and goggles as I walk. I can feel him watching me but I'm mad to turn around. I turn the corner to see a couple of guys. I put my goggles and mask back on, I walk towards them as I pull my gun. They then look over to have them stop talking. I point my gun at them and I start to shoot the three of them. I stop and I look at the dead bodies to feel nothing. I put my gun away as I walk past them putting my hands in my pocket. Disown me! I'm not the type of person you just disown! I'll show him how I feel about that. I keep walking to the corner of the street out of the ally way. A white dodge pulls up and I get inside as it the speeds away.
