"This is all your fault!"Nightwing charges at Damian once he and father returned back to the batcave with Dr. Langstrom. NIghtwing towers over the boy, his frustration emiting from him. Everyone could feel it."You lost, you got her taken away. If it wasn't for your little vendetta, she would still be here safe! Now she's out there, God knows where. And you have the nerve to come back here wi-"
"Enough"Batman steps infront of Nightwing and his son"I know you're upset."he places a hand on his shoulder.
Nightwing shakes it off"Upset!? Upset doesn't even cover it. If you didn't bring that thing here!"he points to Damian"Violet was doing just fine, she was fine. Then he came along, you know how she reacts, you should have had her stay with me! At least she would have be-argh!"
Batman looks at his former sidekick, he understood well how upset he was over the lost of you. After all you had been through since the start of your life, you finally found a safe place to call home. And Dick wanted to make sure you had it and stayed safe even with their crimefighting. Bruce himself has seen the progress you had made the last three years being here. The place they both found you he couldn't imagine anyone growing up that way, yet you some how where able to retain the small bit of inoccence even if you where beaten and broken. To Dick he was your Dark Knight that came and saved you, you where his little princess. The bit of hope he had in this world. He worked so hard to help you through your transition. Bruce helped as well, though not as much Dick. You where his only family he had left to his name, even if you where his 1st cousin. Batman watches Nightwing, he looked down at your silver locket he had open, he had bought it for you, on your first birthday here with them. It was a very important gift to him as well you.
Batman was also torn up about losing you as well. He knew the risk of having Damian here with you. But he knew that Damian need some humanity and who better to help him learn then you. He took full responiblity for everything that happen to you. When he first learned of your powers knowing full well how your powers where, and what you could do with them. You never asked for them, your powers made you very valueable to pretty much anyone. Yet you still manged to hold some sort of peace, when he first had you here to his manor he was watching you for your powers but grew to care for you like a daughter.
Damian looks at his father and to Nightwing, he underestand they where both equally upset at the lost of you. Though his expression was not an outbrust like Nightwing nor the use of words his father used he could sense his anger through it. Behind Damian plaster expression boiled something much more, Deathstroke had taken his grandfather from him, someone whom he cared for deeply, and now he had you. For some reason how he felt about his grandfather, you where up there as well. He played if of you falling down, just as he was about to get you. He was taken away, he was able to read you how you felt. The fear you had as well the happiness of seeing him that was hiden behind your fear. But when he was tackled, it was all washed away. And when one of the guards took you into the shadows, he thought of what he said to you. That evening when you used your powers on him, it was not longer there anymore. His words ment nothing now. He didn't know where you had been taken, but he was going to find out some way.
With you, Deathstroke had taken you and Talia Damian's mother from the place he held you both. Putting a black sack over your head, he tied you up throwing you in the back of something taking off your cover over your face. It was dark, but you felt yourself moving. You where frighten, you didn't like places like this, spending most of your life in the dark. You wanted to go back home, you wanted your cousin to come and get you. Your heart was beating fast, Talia could hear it. It was wild.
She knew the fear you had, yet at the sametime you try to remain strong"Violet, come towards my voice."she calls to you.
You hear her calling to you, you look around for her as you feel around the place you where. Until you felt her. "I'm here child."she tells you calmly"Do not be frighten. Relax. Shhhhh..."she shooths you in a motherly way. Something you had never have heard before nor happen to you. Her shoothing started to calm you. To which you reacted, rest your head on her like a mother to a child who just wanted to feel safe and comfort. She was taken back by this, she had just meet you. And you attached yourself to her, as your head rested on her grew a bit heavier, as if you had never done this to your own mother. Yes you had Dick whom you had rested your head on him tenderly as well Bruce and Alfred. But you had never to a woman, a mother. It was different for you. Having been deinied this in your life. You rested yourself head on her. Talia, looks down at you in dark, she was use to her son's doing this though he stopped as he got older. You where different, from this she was able to deduce much from you. Though her arms where bound due to the chains, she would not mind placing her hand on your head for further comfort.
"You have choosen well my son"she says to herself in a whipser to where she only heard.
Deathstroke makes it to base, he has his men take hold of you and Talia. He brings you two out as he looks at you both. Talia moves slightly infront of you for protection. Deathstroke saw this, he turns to you, as he goes over towering over you."I've just learned some valueable information on you"he grabs you by your bounded hands. He looks at them, then at you. He just stroke fear in you."..."he lets you go, as he takes off one of his gloves. In a lighting fast move he had his hand around your throat.
"No!"Talia screams at him, as she tries to go to you, only to be held down, all she could do was watch.
You try to breathe, his grip on you was tight. You where starting to see him slightly blurry."..."Deathstroke, you then felt it, as you body started to respond, you scream at the pain of his negative emotions being absorbed into you. You started to kick him to make him stop. But it did not phase him, he just kept his grip on you. Your veins started to turn black as they purded from your skin, your skin started to much darker grey, and your eyes turned black. Talia watched in horror.
Your screams soon stopped, you couldn't take anymore and passout. Your body went limp. Deathstroke sees this, he lets you drop onto the floor. You didn't move at all, Deathstroke calmly puts his glove back on. "So, it's true."
"You monster!"Talia snarls at him"She is just a chi-"Deathstroke slaps her across the face hard, blood dribbled down from her mouth.
"Set them both up"he tells his men, as they take you and Talia away.
Damian and his father had found some information about the whereabouts of you and Talia. Though Damian now Robin took it upon himself to go after Deathstroke to get his mother and you back himseld as well end Deathstroke, he was able to find Deathstroke's base an oil rig off the United Kindom Coast. So Damian made his way there, he was able to take out a few of the guards as well loose some of them. Only to come to a stand off with Deathstroke who had his mother in his grasp. Both of them had a gun pointing to the other, having a standing off. Damian demanded his mother as well the whereabouts of you from Deathstroke. Deathstroke instead, aimed his gun at Robin and fired. Only for Talia to get out of Deathstroke's grasp and intercept the bullet meant from her son. Damian stood there frozen at his mother's actions. Though that did not stop Deathstroke, he started to shoot at the ninja boy, who ran.
With you, you wake up but hunch over from the pain inside you. You look at your hands, you had not changed back to your normal form, you had Deathstroke's emotions in you, and they where strong. You grab your sides in pain, as you scream, you needed to let it out. You kept screaming, as you just let out what you where holding in. The emotions where strong, you slam your hand, only for the emotions to emit to that spot where your hand was, as it started to burn through, the ground beneth you soon melted away, and you fall out.
You scream only hitting the ground hard. Opening you eyes, you find yourself what seem like a bridge a metal wired one. You stand up quickly only to fall from the pain you still felt. Tried to contain it, but it was just to much. You knew what would happen if you let it all out at once. And with no one else to be the receiver. What could you do, you did your best to hold it in, when you heard the sound of metal clashing against one another, you look over the edge and see it was Damian fighting against Deathstroke.
"D-Damian..."you barely say his name, you needed to get to him. As Deathstroke overpowered, with your weaken state you get up on your feet and hurry to his aid.
As Deathstroke and Damian exchanged blows with their blades and fist, Deathstroke taunts him about you. What he did to you, as well what he will do to you. Angering the young ninja, giving Deathstroke an adventage, he beats Damian back hard. As he does, he noticed you out of the corner of his eye, he quickly kicks the boy in his face. And then goes after you, you stumble as you ran. Trying to focus on both things at the sametime. Only to bump into Deathstroke, he grabs hold of you as he holds you over by your hair. Calling to Damian, who looks up at you dangling over the railing. His eyes widen, then shift to anger.
"Well..boy?"Deathstroke then holds his blade up to your throat.
Damian growls as he hurries and gets up to you, he goes and ingages Deathstroke, tried his best to block the angered boy. Damian came at him one strike after the other. Deathstroke felt the fury from the boy even if he his moves flowed. You yourself grip onto Deathstroke's hand with your own, so you would not fall as well the pain you felt. But the pain you felt inside was much more, as Damian saw you hold it in. He goes and kicks Deathstroke who lets you go, you fall down, Damian goes after you, jumping down to get you. This time, he catches you in his arms, and turns his back to the ground, becoming your cusion, as he took the impact. He looks at you, you where stiill in pain, but you where safe for now. You slowly look at him, and give him a happly yet in pain smile.
"N-ninja boy..."you faintly smile at him, but grip him as from the pain. Damian gets up with you carefully, he looks over you there where a few marks on you. Your breathing was starting to become hard,he could tell, you lost your balance. But he catches you, he brings you back up looking at you. You look back at him straight into his eyes, that was hidden behind the damino mask, for the first time Damian gives you a small smile. A warm jubliant smile. Through your pain, you return it, though your's was more. He takes hold of your hands. Only for blood to be spattlered onto his face, though it wasn't his, his looks on to you, in horror.
"Argh..."your eyes shot wide open, as you felt your warm blood ooze out of your now fresh wound, your eyes look down at the blade that was exited out of your chest, right where your heart was. Deathstroke was behind you, as he pushes his blade more, all the pain you where feeling from him emotions, went away as you turned back to normal. Damian felt your hands fall from his, you go limp. With his strenght Deathstroke yanks you back with you still on his blade, he looks at you, your eyes still open. He looks at the ninja.
"They say love hurts...appertently it's true."Deathstroke says coldly to him, as he unstealths you from his sword flinging you off of it. Over the railing, your body falls down into the now flooding base, as you hit the water and sink.
Damian watches in distraught as you sink, he grips the handle of his blade as he lunges to Deathstroke a whirlwind untold fury. Deathstroke was able to match him, Damian did not bother about the injuries he was reciving, he could care less. Compared to one he had felt when his grandfather had died, and now with you. As he fought the man, he was able to out smart him. Bringing him to his feet, Damian was ready to strike but choose against it. As the base started to fall apart, he sees his parents coming, they see their son and meet up with him. But he goes and dives into the your watery grave. He swam down, holding his breath it didn't matter how long he was under for, he looks around for you, he knew the spot you were tossed in like trash. If he could he would call your name, to hear him, but he had to use his eyes. Though it had only a been sometime that he had spent with you, the impression where left in his mind.
He noticed a shark swimming towards something, he realized it was you. He knew what was on the sharks mind, as he sped up with his sword drawn, just as shark had its' mouth open to take you, he accucry throws his blade at it stabbing it on his side, killing it. He goes for you, and grabs hold of you, tucking you close to him, he takes his sword back, and swam back to his parents.
Talia and Batman wait for their son. Talia looks around frantic for any sign of her son, Damian comes up for air. Relifed at the sight of her, Batman sees your unmoving body in his son's arms. He waste no time helping him with you.
"..."Damian lets his father hold you, but takes you back from him, and follows his mother. With Batman entering the escape pod, Talia takes off. Damian with the help of Batman apply pressure onto your wound. Damian started to give you CPR to revive you. But you did not respond at all.
Batman watched in despair as his son did his best to help you. But with the amount of blood you had lost and being underwater. Batman knew there was no way you would survive, he could only imagine how Dick would take the news.
Batman did the only thing he could think of, placing a comforting hand on his son's shoulder. Who stopped and looked at his father, his eyes told Batman the upseting pain he felt. He was angry, upset and grief-strunken. Damian looks back at you, Talia looks at her son. She understood his emotions greatly.
Though she had little time with you, Talia felt a connection with you. With the help of Nightwing who was able to save them, after they had came to the surface. Talia looks over at Batman who reads her signals.
Talia stands up, once the escape pod had come a stop. She looks at her son as he sat over your body. She walks over to you, Damian looks up at his mother, he was fighting back everything he felt inside. She reaches into her breast part of her suit, and take out a tube filled with some sort of green substance.
Damian sees this, his eyes widen. He knew what it was. Talia smiles at her"..."placing it in his hand, Damian waste no time, as he uncaps it and pours it into your mouth. Everyone just waited. Damian stayed over you, waiting. He waited and waited, when your eyes shot open, as you scream in agony from the side effects what was given to you. You lashed out if not for Damian who held you down, you slowly started to come to.
Your vision became focused as you looked on, and see Damian. You give him a weak smile"D-Damian."you mange to say his name.
He just looked at you, never letting his eyes leave. You turn and see Batman, you smile at him, he gives you one back. You then close your eyes.
"...Thank you, mother"Damian tells her.
"...That's not going to be enough is it?"Batman asks Talia.
Talia remained quiet giving the Dark Knight the anwser. Batman looks at you, knowing full well what was to happen. Damian knew as well, as he grips onto your hand.
You finally come to and wake up, for some reason you felt much more refreashed all the pain you felt seemed to be cleased from you. You sit up slowly, holding your head. As you look around, noticing you where not in your room.
"..."you became stratled at your surroundings, this was not room at all. But you heard a familier sound, you to find...
Over at the Manor, it was quiet with the four males. Dick was told about what happend to you, and where you where taken. He didn't like it as it was the only way. He felt like he failed you, all that happened to you. He sat in the chair in the one of the studies that had the piano you played, he looks down at your locket. This was the room where you both took the picture it was for Christmas. Dick sighs to himself, though he didn't like the choice, he knew it was best for you. He looks up out towards your green house garden, then back at the locket.
Alfred was in the kitchen, making chocolate chip cookies, something you had loved to make. He had good memories of you in here. He would miss your assistance now that you where gone.
Bruce was looking in the gym, where you had started to your training, he would help you a great deal. Until you showed him you could do it yourself. Now you where not in here, there was no need for him to help you in here. He remember you asking him to teach you, a few times he would watch you pratice ballet, he even hired you a teacher. Your first recitall, he was there. Now you weren't.
In the green house, Damian just looked at your flowers, you had done a lot in here. The birds still chirpped as they went about their merry way. Damian had a few times watched you in here, you seem so peaceful in. He stops and see the same yellow flower you had given him. He plucks it as he looks at it. He saw your smile in it. He looks at it with deep affection, until he realized someone was in here, he turns and sees Dick.
Damian regains himself"Yes"he asks, your cousin.
Dick looks at him, he walks over to him. As he opens his fist, holding your locket in it. Much to Damian's surprised, Damian looks at him, Dick gives him a warm smile. He gestures for Damian to take it, which he does.
"...You knew flowers where always her favorite. She always found beauty in them no matter what kind."Dick starts to tell Damian about you.
"Yes, I know"Damian tells him"But, please go on."
Dick smiles to himself he then gives Damian a half smile look"..."
Back with you"Richie?"you look at your little Robin in its' silver cage. You take him out as he hops onto your shoulder you smile at him, when you look down and see your are not wearing your normal clothes. It was much more exquisite, it was a long chinses kimono, something a of higer rank would wear. Yours though was a beauitful deep rich purple with golden petals emborded into it. As well gold trimmings on the end. You stand up and look at yourself, when you realized the room you where in was also of anicent Chinese with a mix Japanese style. Your room was bigger then the one at the manor. It was fit for a Empress or someone. You find a mirror and look at yourself, you where dressed just as suck with golden hair piece. As you touched, someone came into you room. You turn and see it was Talia. She dressed in a lovely chinese dress, though her's much more formal and tighter, she looked like a goddess.
She smiles at you warmly, you smile at her and go over to her. "Talia, you're alright."you tell her happy to see her well.
"As you too child"she smiles back at you, you look around, then back at her.
"What about Damian?! Is he alright"you asks her worried.
"He is well, with his father"she tells you.
You relax hearing that"Good, so Mr. Bruce is here too?"
She didn't say anything, but you where able to read it"...Child"she puts her hands on your shoulder"...Come with me"she tells"There is much I must tell you."she guides you out of your room.
She explained everything to you, from your capture, Damian coming to free you and your death. As well how you where brought back to life, and why you where here. It was Damian's wish as he knew the amount he had from the Lazarus Pit, so you had to be given to his mother so she could take you and heal you the right way. Also, Damian felt you would be best protected away from those whom would hurt you. Away from the darkness he told his mother, Bruce had also agreed to it as well. Your cousin was well infromed. Talia told you, that you would be staying here with her.
You where in shock from all you heard, as you both sit outside over looking those training. She watched as you took in everything, you wished you had a say in this, sadden by this news. Talia comforts you, just as she touches you. You bring your head up, with tears in your eyes but a smile on your face. You look at her.
"My beloved ninja boy is always trying to protect me..."you tell her, the wind gently blows your hair.
Talia was amazed at how you handled this. She smiles to herself. When she felt you resting your head on her, she looks down at you, she tenderly motherly hug. Something you had always wanted all your life, you hug her back as mother does a child.
You look up at her, as she looks down at you tenderly, brushing your hair back. She then looks over at those training, you do the same. She brings you infront of her, with her hands on shoulder, you look at Richie, you knew Damian had his mother bring him back with you. As you smile at the little Robin, as it perched firmly on your shoulder.
End.
