Chapter 20
Deep within a mountain retreat that was for the Members of League of Shadows a 16 year old red haired hero/villain so to speak on the villain part was sleeping in a plush bed with her loving villain grandfather, aunt and cousin by her side. The teen was mentally and physically exhausted from her ordeal with someone that she thought would accept her but didn't.
"Grandfather, do you think that she will be alright?" Damian asked as he looked at his older cousin who was cocooned in a mess of blankets. The young Prince of the Shadows was concerned for Mehira as even though she was a hero she was still family and that was one thing that matter in the world of the Al Ghul's.
"Time is the only thing that will tell us." The immortal told his youngest grandchild. He had sent some of his most trusted assassins to retrieve MariBella and Antares. Even though he had a respect for Batman and Robin, Ra's didn't trust the other heroes especially Superman to use his oldest daughter and son-in-law as bait and leverage.
"I think that this is a bunch of crap that she feels that no one trusts her other than Robin, Flash and that red haired archer who I know thinks of her more as friend." Talia put her option in. She was concerned about her niece who was probably one of the sweetest people in the world do to her being raised outside of the Shadows.
"I have to agree with you on that Mother. Mehira has done nothing to warrant their distrust and had help the Justice League save the earth many time and yet when they find out that she is The granddaughter of the leader of the League of Shadows they start treating her like she is some common criminal." Damian voiced his option as he watched his cousin who he loved with all his heart sleep safely.
"I want to know if she is seriously thinking about joining us?" Talia asked as she had found out that Mehira was thinking about joining the Shadows from her son when he and Mehira had arrived three days ago in the middle of the night soaking wet and Mehira was sobbing her eyes out. Talia immediately ushered her son and niece into the castle and got them hot showers and after getting some food into them asked them why they had come to one of the most hidden castles that had been in the Al Ghul family for years in the middle of the night.
The younger Princess of the Shadows was shocked that her niece was thinking about joining the Shadows when a few weeks ago she was dead set against joining them. She loved Batman and Bruce Wayne to death and truly believe that he didn't follow Mehira because she was the granddaughter of Ra's Al Ghul but because she was a child that never really feared The Batman at all.
Talia could remember watching Mehira when she first had gotten her powers and had met Batman. Unlike most of the younger heroes Mehira never showed any fear towards the Bat themed hero. In fact Mehira seemed to love to bug the hell out of him. Over time Talia noticed that Batman had become just as protective of Kid Flash as he was of Robin.
"What I may have said at the last meeting a few days ago was not what I thought Mehira would think about Batman as I love the fact that he is just a protective of my granddaughter and his son as he is protective of Robin." Ra's pointed out. He never intended for his beloved granddaughter to think that the League did not trust her as he knew the most of the League would die for the members of Young Justice.
"That much is true about Batman. That man may act like he has no feelings but deep down he is a man that cares for those he loves." Talia said as she adjusted the covers around her niece.
"Come. Let us give her some time to rest and think. We will talk to her in the morning before the League and Young Justice arrive which I know they will arrive knowing Batman." Ra's told his daughter and grandson as he ushered the two out of the bedroom. He had to talk to his granddaughter when she wasn't so distressed and upset. The immortal knew that he had to choice his words just right to make Mehira make the right choice on where she wants to me and if she made the right one the Shadows may just become a different version.
Ra's shot his sleeping granddaughter a concerned look before he closed the door to her room and placed Black Spider and Cheshire who the latter had become very good friends with the young speedster. Ra's also knew the Cheshire wouldn't let anything happen to Mehira as the cat themed assassin had many times to take the speedster out before she knew that said speedster was a Princess of the Shadows.
Next chapter Wally makes her choice on what side she wants to me on and Luther makes an appearance that may spell trouble for the Shadows.
