Danielle Pov. Chapter 4 Danielle's Story

"Slade," I replied hating the fact that it was him. The man, who beat us, killed our mother right before my very eyes, and the man that forced me to kill people when I was a little girl.

There was silence in the room. Nothing made a sound. Robin was the first to speak.

"Are you saying that Slade is your father?" He asked in the disbelieving voice.

"Yes." I said in a monotone voice.

"I think that we all need some time to adjust to this information," Cy said glancing at Skyler.

"Yes, I believe that is a very good idea. I will see you all in the morning," Star said as Cy and her walked out of the room.

Robin stayed behind and sat in a chair across from me.

"Well, I'm kind of hungry. Robin where is the kitchen?" Skyler asked as if nothing had happened.

"Go into the hallway and go left. It will be the first door on your right," Robin said in a monotone voice.

Skyler got up and left the room.

" You have obviously meet up with him," I said with dislike in my voice, "Haven't you?"

"Yes, he attempted to make me his apprentice," he said with the same dislike in his voice.

"Well you're not the only one."

"What's that supposed to mean," he asked as he stared me in the eyes.

" I was his first apprentice. That is the reason that he trained me so hard and not my sister and the only reason that I'm still alive. My mother was a very powerful woman. He married her because she was too strong to… well, you know.'

"Anyway, well nine months later she had us. He just wanted one but ended up with three. I'm the oldest, by only a few minutes of course, but I'm also the most powerful. For that reason I was chosen for the apprentice.'

"By the time I was three I had control over most of my powers and starting to learn more advanced ways to use my powers. Well one time I refused to do as he said, so he had one of his robots bring my mother into the training room," I couldn't continue. The memory of my mother's murder was too strong.

Robin stood up from the chair he was sitting in and walked over to me. He knelt down in front of me and looked into my eyes, at least I think he was it was hard to tell with the mask he was wearing.

"He killed her didn't he."

A tear rolled down my check as I nodded. The tear turned into glass, it looked just like the one around my neck. Robin reached out his hand and caught it as it fell from my face.

"Can all of you do this?" he asked as he examined the tear.

"No just Skyler and me. We don't cry very often so there have been very few of these stones, ' I said as I reached into my pocket and grabbed a very small wooden box that held a silver chain and a needle.

I took the tear from Robin and I also so took the needle out of the box. I used my firepower to heat the needle so it was hot enough to put a small whole in the glass tear. Then I put the tear on the silver chain.

Robin looked at me and asked, "Do you always make necklaces out of the tears?"

"No. This is only the second necklace I've made. I destroyed all of the others," I replied.

"Why would you destroy them?"

"The tears have powers. If we give the tear to someone they can use it to contact us, but if they are taken away from us they can be used to control us. That is the reason for destroying the others. Slade could use them to control us."

I handed the necklace to Robin so he could examine it some more.

"After he killed her he threaten to do the same to kill my sisters if I ever disobeyed him again," I continued the conversation that we had before I cried, " From that day on I did every thing he said."

Robin looked up at me and handed me the necklace.

"I trained, studied, and when he would loan my services out to other criminals I did as I was told. I was even an assassin. If I hesitated he would hurt me."

I sat there for a while and thoughts of my past came into my mind but there was one in particular that stuck out. It was the mission that I had before Skyler and I were locked up.

Flash Back

I was to help a mad man named Two Face get his revenge on Batman. The mad man had a bomb and it was lifted up off the ground of the circus ring. Some of the acrobats tried to stop it, so Two Face told me to cut their ropes. This caused them to fall to their death. One was able to get rid of the bomb and when the boy came back and saw his family on the ground dead, and the look on his face. It reminded me of something that I had pushed into the far corners of my mind, something that happened eight years ago.

He wore the same face that I did after seeing my mother murdered. I had just killed a twelve-year-old boy's family and it made me wake up and see what I had become. I was a monster just like my father. I had become the one thing I never wanted to be.

I can still see the boy's face, like it was happing all over again. His eyes hidden behind a black and white mask that went with his red and green costume. Pain of loss written all over his face. His jet-black hair spiked up and…

End of Flash Back

"Are you ok?" Robin asked. For the first time I really looked at his face. It was looked almost exactly like the face that I had just been picturing. The face had matured.

I was kind of afraid to ask what I was about to ask next but I knew that I had to. I had to find out I he was the boy from five years ago.

"Did your parents die at the circus?" I asked in a shaky voice hoping with all my might that he would say no.

Robin got this startled look on his face from the question that I had just asked. "How did you know that?"

I looked away from him. I couldn't stand to look at his face any more. All I could see was the face of the boy from five years ago.

"How do you know?" He asked again, more forcefully this time.

"Do you know how I said that he would loan my services out to other villains?" I said still not looking at him.

"Yes." He answered.

" Well, five years ago I was hired out to a mad man named Two Face, and well he had me cut the ropes that some of the acrobats were on because they were trying to ruin his plans." I stopped and chanced a look at Robin. He was staring strait at me in disbelief.

"I'll under stand if you want me to leave." I said as I stood up, my weak body protesting, and started to walk away. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. - I flinched out of habit. I was not used to human contact that was not harmful. - I stopped but didn't turn around.

"So," Robin said in an unemotional voice, " You were responsible for my family's death, but you did it to protest your own family. I understand."

It was my turn to look at him with disbelief.

" I think that I would have done the same had I been in your position." He said. "Didn't you say that five years ago Slade lock you up?"

"Yes. He did it because I refused to do what ever he said after I came back for the mission. I have a few reasons for saying that to him, but one of the main reasons was when I saw your face it was like looking in a mirror when I was three years old. I couldn't continue being the monster that Slade turned me into." I told him not looking at him, "He was furious and sent me back to my chamber so he could think of a fitting punishment. Skyler and I were able to get Terra away but Skyler wasn't able to make it. He came for us and beat us before he locked us up."

"I'm so sorry for what I did to you and your family." I said finally looking at him.

"I forgive you," Robin said, "You are also still welcome to stay."

"Thank you very much Robin!" I replied sitting back down on the couch.

"So what's the necklace for?"
