Alex's POV
Gotham,
Alex's apartment
"Good. I don't want her to know just yet."
"Good. I don't want her to know just yet."
"Good. I don't want her to know just yet."
This sentence has been echoing in my head since I got back to my apartment. I tied my jet black hair in a ponytail- not caring what I look like. I had to finish a report for Bruce that is due on Sunday, so I grabbed my laptop and started to write.
After a few minutes I had an epiphany that I had nothing to actually write , I put my laptop to the side to grab something to eat in the kitchen. Just like the great Nightwing once told me; "you can never go wrong with a bowl of cereal to help you think." I smiled at the memory of thirteen year old me rolling my eyes at the much older Dick Grayson being annoying and childish as usual.
I grabbed my bowl of cereal and head towards the living room where I was working on my laptop. I looked at the open window that was closed just a few minutes ago. I put my bowl on the table and put my laptop back on my lap. Then I grabbed the bowl back into my hands I gasped, my eyes widen.
I AM STILL HERE. ASK BRUCIE.
I hear a noise behind me, I turned head only to see an old photo of me. And Jason. It was at my first Wayne party. Both of us where smiling and holding each others hands. We where about 10 years old. We looked carefree and happy. As if our lives where normal. Just a boy with a rich foster dad with a girl as a best friend. Wouldn't life be simpler if that was true?
I felt my eyes water. My phone started to ring. I looked at the collar ID, Damon Evans. I smiled a bit at the name.
"Hey sweetheart." He said.
"Hey to you too babe." I said. A surge of gilt hit me. I looked back at the photo of Jason and me. He is dead remember. The voice said in my head.
Jason's POV
Outside of Alex's apartment,
Gotham
"Stay away from her." Bruce had said. Me not giving a crap abut what he says or does, I went to the roof next to her apartment. I haven't seen her in 7 years. After I stopped my killing spree, and got clean up, I went to see her but I found out she was visiting her family in Russia. For an entire year.
"Hey to you babe." I heard her say. I glared at the phone, wanting to know who the hell was she talking to. If I would have brought my hood I could have found out who she was talking too.
"That's Damon Evans. Her boyfriend that she has been dating for two years." My annoying older brother said.
"How do you know that?" I said still glaring at the phone while the dark haired girl laughed.
"He had dinner with us a few months ago." Dick said talking off his mask. "Do you regret the decision?" He added.
"Do you regret breaking up with StarFire?" I said to him. Not caring if it hurt him or anything. He raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, but it was what Bruce wants." I said. Dick scoffed.
"Since when do you care?" He said looking skeptical.
"Since its Alexandra Sokolov or Alexandra Pierce. She is the best Bruce has ever train. She is his favorite protege. With Cass. " I said, letting my anger show.
"First, ouch that hurts my first protege ego." I rolled my eyes. "You'll get over it." I said.
"And second, you are invited to the next dinner we have with her boyfriend." He said with a smirk.
"When is it?" I said mirroring his smirk.
"Tomorrow." And with that he was gone. Maybe I do want her to know now.
A/N: I wrote this on the fly, this is my first story hear so please be merciful. I do think that Jason isn't really an asshole so that's why I wrote him like that. And yeah, Alex' s full name is; Alexandra Natalia Varvara Sokolov. But her fake name is Alexandra Natalia Pierce. She changed it because she is an ex- assassin. You will see more of her past and Jason's.
