" A new Batman."
Those were the words she had said, somehow thinking it was a good idea. Now she could see how wrong she was.
"Are you crazy!?" shouted Jason.
"What? Gotham needs it, and we give it."
Barbara spoke up. "Yes, Gotham does need it badly, but who would we even get to do it? Who could we even trust?"
Selina bit her lip, unsure of what she was about to say.
"Well, I was considering my son as an option..."
They all stared at her.
"What? He's strong, and I've trained him from a young age in the ways of stealth and agility. A little training, and he should be good to go!"
Barbara sighed.
"Look, Selina. We appreciate the offer, really, but we can't just ask you to send your son out there all alo-"
"He doesn't have to be." a voice interrupted.
They turned their heads, and saw that Harley had spoken.
"My...my daughter. She is an amazing acrobat, and has all he skills she needs, minus some training. Since she is already friends with Jordan..."
Jason stood up.
"Let me be the voice of reason. We live in Gotham City, a place that has fallen apart and is a haven for criminals. Yet you two want to just send out a couple of kids, your own children, to try and save it? Insane! This city is beyond saving, I think."
"Bruce would have wanted it." said Barbara quietly.
Anger flared up in Jason.
"Don't try and tell me what he would have wanted! I kept fighting for his city, unlike you who just had to quit right away! So don't try and act all loyal now!"
"You know why I quit!" Barbara yelled back.
"Because of some dumb arguments!? That's an excuse?"
"At least Bruce understood, unlike you! You are the reason he's dead to begin with! You have a responsibility for this city, and you need to help it! Think Jason! Would Bruce have wanted you to sit here and let his city rot because you failed!?"
Jason winced, and Barbara knew her words had cut deep.
"Fine. Send your kids out there, train 'em, do whatever. Just don't expect me to help."
With that, he stood and left, leaving them all quiet.
It was Harley who broke the silence.
"So when do we start?"
Well, what will happen now... leave a review!
