Have you ever tried to back flips and handstand after a night of rough and raw sex? No? Good , Don't ever fucking do it!

I swear I felt like my ass had been beaten like a drum over and over and every jump leap and bend had me wincing. Winces fallowed by a cute smirk at how I had gotten this way in the first place.

We had been practicing since nine that morning and I was so happy this was our last round before tonight. It was nearly 1 pm.

Barbra was a good leader if not a bit of a perfectionist. every time she would praise us with one thing she would condemn us for another.

"Barbra, we are great, perfect even. I need a break and it is still my birthday so cut me a break ok" I said landing another perfect cartwheel.

The rest of the team agreed and she sighed in defeat.

"well I guess we're good enough. But like I always say_"

"good enough isn't good enough! We Know!" we all chorused.

Barbara chuckled and dismissed the girls. I thanked the lion head goddess and made my way to the showers.

Suddenly I was pulled to the side and I smirked thinking it was Dick.

"Mr. Grayson why you naughty boy you." I said turning into the arms.

But it wasn't Dick. I didn't know this person but I could tell what he wanted and who he worked for.

"time to come home pretty kitty." said the goon. He was one of Marco's henchmen.

"ha! I though papa Marco had sent out the cobra goons to find me. Must not be too good at there jobs if he needs someone like you." I said trying to break the man's grip on my arms.

"ha how do you think we found you."

"well you can tell Marco I'm not going any where." I hissed.

"do you really think they will care about you, if they knew the real you, if they knew everything you had done, all these little rich kids wouldn't even tolerate your presence." he growled slamming me again the wall of the locker rooms.

"they would think your some kind of freak, something dirty, unwanted. Only Marco ever wanted you."

I began to stop fighting and fell back into that old mindset. None of these people knew the real me. The goon let me go and I stumbled back placing my hand on my neck… then I felt it, the necklace that Dick had given me.

"your wrong. There are people who care for me. They love me."

"you really believe that? That your big daddy Wayne cares for you. Youre nothing but a charity case. Idk why he took you in but I'm sure it wasn't love."

I took a swipe at him with my claw and jumped back.

"tell your boss if he wants me then he can come get me. I'll finished what I started the night I stole from him and I promise it won't end with a gun pointed at me again."

"Marco has given up the chase little kitty. He's leaving it up to you. But just so you know. The little birdie boy your fucking with, we've been watching him closely too as well as the wild blond, and the red head. We've been watching them all"

"are you threaten my friends? My family?" I growled my claws lengthening and my eyes turning gold.

"we are you family little one. Remember that." he gave a pat to my shoulder and walked away.

I slumped down and pulled my knees up to my chest. Would Marco hurt Dick if I didn't come back to him. Would he hurt Artemis, Barbara. How long had he been watching? Had I ever really been safe? Had they known where I was from the beginning.

"Solan? Babe?" said a voice and I looked up to see Dick coming toward me

"are you ok baby?" he asked pulling me into his arms. I hadn't even realized I had been shaking till he had me.

"Marco… he's found me" I said. I felt Dick stiffen and his grip tighten.

"He won't get you. I promise you." he said and if felt more like a swear to himself than to me.

He pulled back and swept my long blood red hair out of my face.

"I promise you everything will be ok." he said with that smile and I believed him. It was a fools hope. A child's hope but I had to cling to it because if I didn't I would crumble and go running back to Marco if only to protect all those I loved. So when Dick said it was ok, I believed him. I pressed myself into him. I needed him to make me forget this.

"show me. Show me you love me." I pleased nearly in tears.

"show me." I said ripping off the school blazer and shirt. I though that he would protest to having sex right outside the locker-room but he didn't' he simply pulled off his blazer and laid it beneath me as he pushed me down. I turned on my side pulling my pants down are as far as they could go and Dick did the same laying on his side behind me. He spit on his hand and pressed it between my cheeks. In one swift thrust he was in me. I moaned out grabbing the small of his back and pushing him deep into me

"harder, harder!" I panted

Dick grunted and thrust deeper and harder till he was hammering into me like a rabbit.

His hand worked its way around my me and gripped my cock jerking with his spit slicked hand to the rhythm of his pounding.

I heard a cough and looked up. Bruce was looking down at us with a very angry glare.

"when you two are finished, you get dressed and get your asses to the car." he seethed and then stormed off.

It was funny cause even though Dick had seen him too he hadn't stopped his thrusting

"what if someone had walked back there and seen you two?" Bruce asked as Dick and I stood in his study head cats down but hands joined.

"to the public eye you two are suppose to be brothers, not Fuck Buddies!"

" its my fault Bruce I'm sorry. I was crying and Dick only wanted to make me feel better_"

"I fucked him on his birthday too, and I'll fuck him tonight and every night for the rest of my life because I love him." said Dick and I stared at him

"Are you of all people really going to tell me not to love him?"

Bruce threw his arms up in the air and groaned in frustration

"that's not what I meant Dick and you know it. I could care less about the two of you being lovers. God I've been expecting it for at least a month now but what I am concerned about is you two going at it in public like dogs_'

I coughed

"sorry… cats in heat. The last thing we need is a media scandal and what had you so worked up Solan that Dick had to solve it with his penis?" asked Bruce

I looked at Bruce then at Dick and sighed.

"I had a visit from one of Marco's goons today after practice."

The room got really quiet really quick and the joking awkwardness of being found with my pants around my ankles and a dick up my ass was suddenly replaced by the all too serious vibe that there was danger in the air.

"then you are to stay home tonight and every night from now one. No more cheerleading practice. I'll inform batman and the rest of the justice league."

"I'm IN THIS MESS BECAUSE OF BATMAN!" I screamed." and I can't just miss practice. Barbara , the girls they need me." I pleaded a bit realizing I had kinda exploded. I wanted to do this. I wanted to have this experience of actually being part of something. All my life I had run, avoided, hidden from the world. I had turned my back on the world and I was ready to dive back in. I wanted to be a teenager again, I wanted to do homework and go to class and have arguments with my boyfriend over dumb shit. I wanted Dick to be my Boyfriend, I hadn't had one of those EVER! I wanted all this and it started with this Football game and the cheer squad.

I pleaded with Bruce with my eyes, begging that he understood what this meant to me and that I didn't want to run anymore. I was tired of running from men and their ire.

Daddy Bruce slumped his shoulders and sighed. He leaned in and kissed my cheek before nodding.

"fine but I'm till telling batman. I want you to be under surveillance to make sure your ok."

I jumped into his arms wrapping my legs around his waist and kissing him all over his face then did the same to Dick which resulted in us rolling around on the floor making out.

"I'm just gonna…yeah I'm gonna go." said Bruce with a nervous chuckle.

Barbara hugged my the moment I showed up and held on tightly. Dick must have told her something

"you didn't have to come tonight Solan." she said holding me at arm length.

"what! Of course I did. You bitches can't win without me." I said with a flip of my hair and a smirk. Barbara shook her head but smirked back

"whatever sank. Lets go get dressed"

Walking into the girls locker room, passed all the envious football players, was something I would never get tired of. We got dressed quickly and stretched out. I did back flips and cartwheels to make sure I was perfect

I pushed all thoughts of Marco's goon out of my head. Though the thought made me angry as a rabid feline, Batman, and Robin, as well as the rest of The Rest of the Team would be watching this game. They wouldn't allow anything to happen and if Marco thought to attack my family, I'd kill him.

"whoa! Solan!" cried one of the girls. I blinked and looked down at my hands, I had shredded the team banner.

"sorry. Too much adrenalin." I lied.

We dressed quickly enough and the nervousness began to set in. I could smell it rolling off the girls in waves. Barbra alone seemed unfazed though I see her jaw set in a determined line and her eyes harden. I on the other hand was nervous for other reasons. I couldn't fight the fear that I would look up into the stands and there would be Marco's ever grinning face, like The Joker laughing at me. I closed my eyes and tried to even out my breathing. My wrist vibrated and I looked down at the locator going off. I excused myself from the line of girls swearing that I would be back before we were on..

I slipped off behind the bleachers then to the side of the locker room being sure to keep my nails drawn and ready just incase.

Robin leapt down from the roof, nearly startling me.

I went to make some rude remark but found myself in Robin's arms. He hugged me tightly and I stiffened but when he didn't let go I couldn't help but relax. His smell was comforting. He pulled away and those white eyeholes in his mask searched me.

" the entire team is here to look after you. Megan's hovering over the field scanning each and every mind for negative intentions directed towards you. Wally's in the stand with Connor and Kaldur. Batman, Black Canary, Superman and Green Arrow are here too."

"all this to look after me?" I smirked.

"Batman must be feeling more guilt then I thought"

"they came because I asked them too. I wanted you were safe."

I looked into Robin's white covered eyes and tried to search for where this new affection had come from.

"why."

"because I care about you."

"….."

"you better go, they're waiting for you. Faster Kill, Faster Still Pussycat." he smirked then to my utter surprise he kissed my cheek then like batman vanished into the dark.

I walked back to the girls just as the encounter started In over the loud speakers.

"AND NOW THE GOTHAM ACADEMY GLADIATRIXES TO OPEN THE FIRST PART OF TONIGHTS FOOTBALL GAME.!"

The crowds cheered as the lights on the football field dimmed as we lined up under the goal post. Usually the cheerleading team stood off to their team's side line but Barbara wanted to make sure we were seen by both sides. I squared my shoulders as the first chorus of Christina Malian's Dip It Low began to play. It was now or never

Says he wants you

He says he needs you

It's real talk, then why not make him wait for you

If he really wants you

If he really needs you

Really got to have you

Take your time and feel him out

When he's a good boy

I mean a really really good boy

Why not let him lay with you

That's when you give it to him good

Barbra had chosen an oriental theme to match with the sound of the music so we all wore Chinese style dress, our hair done up in Chinese buns with dazzling and ornate hair sticks. My own dress had to be longer than the others by about a foot but it didn't throw off the over all look. Barbra and the other girls wore dresses of deep red over laid with red sakura leaves and flowers where as I wore the reverse.

We passed the fans from hand to hand like we had seen the fan dancers on you tube dude and it worked seamlessly till the chorus.

Dip it low

Pick it up slow

Roll it all around

Poke it out let your back roll

Pop pop pop that thing

Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"

Dip it low

Pick it up slow

Roll it all around

Poke it out let your back roll

Pop pop pop that thing

Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"

Once the chorus sounded we opened the Chinese dresses to show off the black halter tops and fishnet sleeves. My legs were wrapped in a pair of skin tight black jeans completed by the stiletto knee high boots we threw the fans up in the hair and matched every move from the music video perfectly.

You getting bold

He growin' cold

It's just the symptoms of young love

Growin' old

You think it's time

And you're thinking of leaving

But give it time

It's late at night

He's coming home

Meet him at the door with nothin' on

Take him by the hand

Let him know it's on

If you understand me

Yall come on

The cheer routine fell seamlessly into the dance and before I knew it the back flips and hand stands and lifts had started.

All my ladies wind it up

If you know just how to move (mooove)

All my fellas jump behind

And show her what you want to do (show her what you got daddy)

All my ladies wind it up

If you know just how to move

All my fellas jump behind

And show her what you want to do (ouuuh..wouh ouh)

The crowd cheered and roared as we danced and twisted and leapt through the air with practiced grace. The girl readied to do the toss ups, first Barbra then the other two girls then me. I made sure to go higher than the others, arching my body clear over the goal post and landing perfectly on my feet to thunderous applause

Dip it low

Pick it up slow (ohhh)

Roll it all around

Poke it out let your back roll

Pop pop pop that thing

Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo" (ima show you how to make him)

Dip it low (ouhhh)

Pick it up slow

Roll it all around

Poke it out let your back roll

Pop pop pop that thing

Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"

We can move if you wanna

We can move if you wanna

We can mooove if you wanna

We can mooooooove...

The song was winding down but I wasn't any where near tired out yet. And good too because Barbara had set aside this portion just for us. She was almost as good a gymnast as robin who was almost as good as me so she kept up well. Back flip, front flip, cartwheel, handstand, leap, twist, twirl, bend, pivot and dance. Barbara and I owned the night. We were perfect.

Dip it low

Pick it up slow (slowww)

Roll it all around (ohhhh)

Poke it out let your back roll

Pop pop pop that thing (yeah)

Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"

Dip it low

Pick it up slow

Roll it all around

Poke it out let your back roll (come on come on come on)

Pop pop pop that thing

Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"

The song ended and we bowed with our fans coyly in front of our faces. There was a second of silence then the field erupted in applause… from both sides. I breathe heavily but the smile on my face was beyond measure. He girls collided in a group hug, jumping up and down excitedly. We had owned this game, there was no way the other team's cheerleaders could even come close.

I looked up to the stand scanning for the one face I was most desperate to see, but he wasn't there. Dick and Bruce weren't there. Alfred stood in their place clapping loudly. I was sure I had seen them when I walked onto the field. Oh god had something happened, had batman told them to leave because it was dangerous? I began to panic but then I heard gasp and silent murmuring. I looked up and there they were standing just a foot off from me. All eyes were on Bruce Wayne and Richard Grayson. I smiled forgetting my panic and ran to my family. I flung my arms around Bruce who hugged me and laughed at my excitement. Then I slipped to Dick who I had to fight all desire to kiss then and there.

"you were wonderful babe." he whispered in my ear and I snuck a kiss to his cheek

The actual football game was a blur. I had never much understood football so I simply stood and cheered when dick and Bruce cheered. I had to be called back to the field three times to cheer with the girls but nothing outdid our first performance. And the other cheerleaders didn't even try. I kept close to Dick and fought the urge to scan the crowds in the stands. I knew he was there watching me. I could feel it. If my tail hadn't been wrapped around my waist it would have been standing on end. I looked to Dick and he seemed to be scanning the crowds, as was Bruce though you wouldn't be able to tell unless you knew his face well. When had I become this person, hiding behind two men to feel safe. Where was the roaring lion I had been, the wild cat who didn't need anyone to protect me? The spitfire of a child who had been so damaged all he knew was to fight. Had a few month healed all this so easily, had Dick's kiss, and Bruce's tears washed away all my fierceness. Had they domesticated me so easily and so totally.

No, the lion was there, I could feel her twitch behind my eyes, the wild cat lay curled up, waiting in his slumber. I knew if push came to shove I would destroy for this family I had found. A family doesn't own a cat, a cta owns a family and I would kill anyone who tried to take mine from me.

I smirked and chuckled to myself. Dick looked at me quizzing and I rested my head on his shoulder.

"what's so funny Soley?" he asked

"nothing, just a cat content in his master's arms" I said kissing his cheek again.

Artemis convinced Bruce that I would be safe at mount justice with the rest of the team and though I wanted to spend another night in Dick's bed being pounded into oblivion by mr. Grayson and his thick cock, I knew the team had planned a special party for me and I didn't want to disappoint. Bruce agreed to let me go agreeing that the easier it was for batman to be contacted then the easier it would be for tem to keep me safe.

I hugged Bruce then Dick and fallowed Artimist off to one of the boom tubes hidden in the locker room.

"oh before we get on our way here." she said with a smirk handing me a blindfold.

"really? A blindfold?" I quizzed with a sneer.

"oh just shut up and put it on" she said pushing me into the open locker and fallowing behind me.

"Recognizing Artemis 2004"

"Recognizing Wild Cat 5009"

The hall was dark and my voice could here whispers and murmurs.

"you guys know I can see in the dark and hear you right?" I grouched as Artimist lead me forward.

"yeah hence why your blindfolded smartass!" I heard Robin call out to which the others hurriedly shushed him.

"just sit down." said Artimist pushing me into a chair.

The blindfold was pulled off and I was met with a large home baked birthday cake

17 candles lit in an array of colors and the words happy birthday written in red icing.

"its chocolate and cheesecake" said Megan putting her hand on my shoulder.

"had to make six cakes to stop Wally from eating all of this one" said Connor. And I smirked at the red head who shrugged.

"so are we gonna sing happy birthday or what?" said Artimist

It was the more horrible rendition of happy birthday I ever heard. Thanks to wally and Artimist. Gratefully Kaldur's and Connor's voices melded beautifully to cover up.

Once the song ended everyone fell silent and waited for me to make a wish.

"its not like me to get all mushy and shit so don't get used to you ok!" I said glaring at everybody but then my eyes softened

"I'm suppose to make a wish and the only thing I can think of is how happy I am and how I wish this night would never end. The last few months have been just amazing and I want you all to know that… that you've made me a very happy kitty."

Everyone awed and then my face was smooched into the cake by robin and Wally.

"I TAKE IT BACK I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL!" I SCREAMED JUMPING UP AND CHASING AFTER Robin and Wally, robin being the easier one to chase of course.

Once I had calmed down and my face was clean came the presents. First up was Artimist, she handed over a Ruby Gloom messenger back of rich purple with the silhouette of a cat on it and golden letter spelling out "Some Things Are Secret."

I thanked her with a tight hug. Next was Wally. He handed over a huge box which fell open the moment I united the bow. Inside was a little black kitten with huge green eyes.

"Ómg Wally. He's adorable."

"got him after busting up an animal smuggling ring .Saw him and knew he was for you."

"he's a bit big for a cat Wally." said Megan

"that's cause he's a panther. Actually he's a rare breed of panther. He won't get any bigger than a bobcat."

I flung my arms around Wally's neck and then kissed him on the lips which started another nose bleed.

"I'll name him…Brat." I said holding up the little panther kitten and snuggling him. Brat purred and curled up in my lap when I set him down.

Then came Roy. He shoved a small box under my nose and grunted happy birthday. I opened it and saw a small charm bracelet. Set with Egyptian charms.

"thank you Roy" I cooed only to have robin push Roy out the way to make room for Kaldur and Connor.

"we thought this would look…" began Kaldur

"cute." finished Connor

"yes cute and befitting on you when in costume."

I opened the box they handed me only to find a diamond studded cat's collar with a small diamond encrusted tag that said my Codename.

"Aww guys its beautiful. Thank you." I said kissing them both on the cheek.

Last was Robin he walked over holding something up to his chest. He laid it on the table and knelt beside me

"its from me and Batman" he said and for once I didn't sneer.

"I think its best you have it."

I looked at him quizzingly then opened the book. It was a photo album and the first picture was of a woman in a very smart looking but very tight business suit. Her thick blond curls were pulled back in a pony tale and her eyes stared up at me from behind stylish glasses. Next to her was Bruce. She was smiling and seemed very happy. I flipped the page and there she was again in a dress of dazzling black rhinestones.

"who is she?" asked Megan over my shoulder. As I flipped another page this time is showed a sliequette of a woman on a building top in a skin tight suit. You could make out pointed ears atop her head and the long line of a whip in her hand.

"it's my mother." I said and looked up at Robin.

"Selena Kyle."

I flipped another page and there she was again staring at me and clearly pregnant but standing beside Bruce again.

I closed the book and looked at Robin.

"thank you. Thank you so much." I said tears leaving my eyes.

"I never knew what she looked like. It was always these vague memories. I never realized we looked so much alike."

I dried my eyes with my hand and shook my head.

"ok enough with the tears." said Wally. "its suppose to be your birthday!"

He ran off and music started.

"Lets Party!"

The party got under full way. Black Canary, the Flash and Green arrow even showed up and enjoyed themselves. Connor twirled me and I laughed at the concentration on his face when it came to dancing.

"come one con, its just dancing." I said and he growled.

"that is not what I'm focusing on." he said as I pressed into him.

"I'm trying not to become aroused. Wally says my penis is frightening when it is erect like that time in the showers."

How could I forget and Wally wasn't exaggerating. Superboy was packing a caveman's club between his legs. I regretted that I had never made a move on him but he seemed solely devoted to Megan.

"believe me Con. There is nothing to be ashamed of. But maybe you should go dance with Megan." I laughed. He nodded and turned to go wrench the young Martian from Wally's groping hands. I was turned around and there was Robin waiting for me. Before I could even protest the song changed and he pulled in me in for a slow dance.

"your awfully close bird boy." I said but there was no venom in my voice. I couldn't find the urge to be angry with Robin anymore. The gift he had given me had driven all the bitterness and anger I had for he and Batman away.

"I like being close to you. Can't you tell" he smirked and I shook my head bemused.

"why is that?"

Robins shrugged twirling me perfectly as the song began.

We started dancing

And love put us into a groove

As soon as we started to move

The music played

While our bodies

Displayed through the dance

Then love picked us out for romance

I thought it was clear

The plan was we would share

This feeling just between ourselves

"you seriously got me "whelmed" heavy on the "over" said dick and I shook my head

"are you saying I overwhelm you." I said . This feeling was so fermialr. Even the song. Why was it that that when I was this close to bird brain that I could help thinking of of my clean cut Dick.

"yeah that's what I'm saying." he smirked.

But when the music changed

The plan was re-arranged

He went to dance with someone else

We started dancing

And love put us into a groove

But now he's with somebody new

What does love want me to do

Love said

Let the music play

He won't get away

Just keep the groove

And then he'll come back to you again

(Let it play)

Let the music play

He won't get away

This groove he can't ignore

He won't leave you anymore

No, no, no

Robin pressed into me rocking with the rhythm. I had to admit it was nice. I had never seen this side of him. This caring, gentle side. My entire time here, he had either been so stoic like batman or simply annoyingly childish. I had never gotten to know the caring and affectionate Robin. Ha! Too bad for him I was with Dick Grayson. They were nothing alike, I mean sure their builds were the same but Dick was everything Robin wasn't . he was quiet, studious and well groomed. Robin was all spiky hair and constant cocky smirks and rash behavior. Their smells were even different. Dick was clean and smelt of powders and cologne and there was always that underlining smell of young maleness. that's all Robins smelled off was that youthful male scent and the light smell of soap.

He tried pretending

A dance is just a dance

But I see

He's dancing his way back to me

Guess he's discovered

We are truly lovers

Magic from the very start

'Cause love just kept me groovin'

And he felt me movin'

Even though we danced apart

So we started dancing

And love put us into the groove

As soon as we started to move

As soon as we started to move

I pushed Dick from my mind and let the music take me. This was our song and even if he wasn't here it was easy to imagine Robin was Dick… a little too easy. I had to be honest. The though became easier to entertain with Robin this close. It had crossed my mind more than once but they were so different even if they bore a few similarities. But no it couldn't be. So I pushed it from my mind yet again.

I was such a fool.

Love said

Let the music play

He won't get away

Just keep the groove

And then he'll come back to you again

(Let it play)

Let the music play

He won't get away

This groove he can't ignore

He won't leave you anymore

No, no, no

Robin pressed his lips to mine and I fell into him easily. That when I realized it.

He tried pretending

A dance is just a dance

But I see

He's dancing his way back to me

He's dancing his way back to me

Love said

(Let the music play)

Let the music play

(He won't get away)

Just keep the groove

And then he'll come back to you again

(Let it play)

Let the music play

He won't get away...

The song ended and with shaky hands I ripped the mask from his face. He didn't even blink. Dick just stared at me with those pleading blue eyes.

I dropped the mask and stepped back my hand shaking and my eyes wide.

"Dick…Your Robin." I whispered looking down at my feet. Everything had stopped and the team was looking at Dick and I.

"you lied to me?" I said

"I wanted to tell..

"YOU LIED TO ME!" I screamed

"and I I knew it was you. God I knew I just kept putting it off. You were too different. But then… of course you were. Batman trained you to be, I mean he…."

that's when it hit me. Bruce! I turned on my heal and took off. I ran as fast as I could to the boom tubes and straight out of my room. To my not so utter surprise Alfred was waiting for me outside Bruce's study.

"is he in there?" I demanded and Alfred gave me a sad look.

"is he in there old man!" I demanded.

"mast Solan, your father is in the middle of a meeting…" I pushed passed Alfred and into the study and there he was. The Batman., only when he turned around the cowl was lowered and I was staring into the very sad and very regretful eyes of Bruce Wayne.

"you…you lied to me, Robin lied to me, Alfred lied to me!"

"I never lied to you Solan. I couldn't risk you knowing till I was sure you could handle it." said Bruce

"no you didn't tell me because you knew it I knew you were batman I would hate you! You knew you couldn't win over my forgiveness as Batman so you stole it as Bruce. Goddess, I though you truly loved me."

"I do!" said Bruce urgently coming towards me and kneeling before me.

"I do love you. The moment I saw you hurt I regretted everything."

My nails lengthened into claws and I slashed him across the face.

"liar!"

"you only wanted to erase your guilt. You, you brought me in out of pity. Where was your pity when he raped me. Where was your pity when he mad me walk to school bleeding from my ass because he had slammed his dick into me over and over and over again. WHERE WAS YOUR PITY THEN YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

Bruce looked down at his hands, not even bothering to cover the bleeding scars on his face.

"I didn't mean to. It was just you were the son of some thug, a criminal…"

"so because of my father, I was too worthless to be saved?" I cried.

"No, you don't understand. You were suppose to be mine Solan."

I stepped back from him.

"Selena slept with your father to save me and I never knew. I thought the child growing in her stomach was mine but when you were born…I promised Selena I would hide you away from this life. I was so angry and bitter that… when I found out John was raping you I couldn't bring myself to help you. Superman, hated me for it. The entire justice league hated me for it, but I threatened them all to not interfere, by the time I realized what I had done, you hated me. But when I began to fallow you, when I saw you cry that day everything I told you was the truth. I am so sorry for what was done to you." he looked up at me and there were tears in his eyes but his tears of sadness could not quall my tears of rage and hurt.

""I do love you Solan, my son."

"I'm not your son. I hate you!" I spat and turned only to find Dick blocking the door.

"please Solan. Please try to understand. I wanted to tell you."

"then why didn't you. You had chances, millions of chances, but you lied and lied and lied to me. You kept his secrets and lead me on."

"no. Bruce was telling the truth. Everything we said. Everything I said was true. I … you we just so happy I couldn't bring myself to ruin it. That all we ever wanted was your happiness."

"I hate you both. Move out of my way." I demanded but he didn't budge.

"please baby. I'm so so sorry."

"I'm not your baby." I hissed slashing Dick across the chest and taking off when he doubled over. I ran and passed Alfred . We shared a sad look then I was gone. I ran as far as I could never looking back. My mind was blank and my body numb but my skin was hot with rage. Dick, Bruce, they had lied from the start. They had never truly loved me. Bruce I could almost understand but Dick…

I realized as I entered the city of Gotham I had nowhere to go. I couldn't go back to mount justice or Wayne manor. I was alone. I had to where to go, I had no one.

My feet carried me through the slums of the city till the sound of music vibrated through the street. I walked to the back of the club and knocked.

I had nowhere else to go. Nowhere lese but back the way I had come.

A large man opened the door and looked down at me.

"what's your business here punk?" he asked lifting up my chin to star into my eyes.

"tell Marco, his pet is home."
