Landing hard on flat surface of the roof top to a building, not stopping you kept it up running. Richie flew at his speed keeping up with you the best his little wings could. He was by your side, not leaving. Jumping to the next one, feeling Damian becoming closer. He hadn't move but you knew something went down, because what you felt from him the guilt mixed with pride and satisfaction. Not sure why, but whatever the reason it didn't sit well with you.

Flipping down, landing in an ally way. Right by a manhole, looking around to make sure no one had seen you. Richie comes and perches on your shoulder. Looking around you find a steel pipe and use it, to help you lift up the manhole. Struggling at first, but you manged to get it off. Richie chirps nervously. Looking to him.

"You don't have to come."you tell him, holding a finger out for him. He looks at it, then to you. Puffing out his little chest, his way of saying no. Smiling at him, for his noble character. Still, picking him gently you set him down looking at him."I can't have you hurt."putting your nose to his beak, he chirps sadly knowing what you where doing. Lifting your head back with a sad smile, you wave by to him and jump doing into the manhole. Leaving the sad little bird. Who chirps for you to return.

Dropping down into the sewers. Which smelled pretty bad, but luckily you've had your fair share of disgusting smells. Running through the low water towards Damian who was now closer than ever. Telling yourself, you where coming for him. Making a quick left, coming to a dead end. This was strange, felling Damian's presence behind here. Slowly scanning the wall, remembering one time what Bruce had told you. Nothing is at it seems. Placing your hand on the brick wall, slowly gliding it across. Feeling anything that seem out of place. Anxious you had to calm yourself otherwise you might miss it.

Closing your eyes, to get a much better feel. When your finger felt something out of place, opening your eyes. Gliding your hand back, feeling the misplaced brick. Pressing it, next thing a secret door opens. Moving back with your guard up, you find a tunnel leading to...Damian. Without hesitation you proceed down the dark barely lite tunnel. Feeling Damian getting closer, when something spiked in him. It was anger, this time this anger was different then his other ones. It was scared anger, something you never thought he would release.

Fear came over you, not wanting to think the worse of what might happen to him. Pushing yourself harder, you felt other emotions mixed in with his. Others running in fear for their lives. As if something was hunting them down, soon you didn't feel them am more. Only death. Then Talon. Something in him twisted and snapped to the brink of psychosis. That seem to bring a sort of thrill from others fear. Yet at the sametime he remained calm. Feeling his twisted emotion, felt like sludge hammer.

Stopping, you felt your body starting to react to these dark emotions. Feeding on them, doing your best to block them out despite the agony your body was starting to feel. Damian needed you, pushing through the pain like before. Remembering what your sensei that Talia had hired for you. To remain calm and not allow these emotions to take hold of you. Even if they wanted to swallow you whole, find a way to redirect them, expel or keep them back till you needed them.

Holding it in, Talon's emotion where to strong. Falling down, your body started to transform. To its darker state, feeling your body jerk from the feeling. Wanting to scream, but you chose against it. Using your willpower, that you had. Trying to focus on only one person at this moment.

Damian.

It was hard to sense his emotions now that everything was becoming clouded. Thinking back to what Talia said, you couldn't help but agree that she was right. You where not ready. Your submissive side was starting to take over, which allowed Talon's emotions to easily take hold of you.

Clawing at the ground, gasping for air. Reaching out for nothing for no one. Vision starting to become blurry, calling for anyone to come and save you. Eyes becoming heavy, giving into the waves of emotions. Your body finally reaching its limits. Apologizing to Damian for not being able to be there for him. To rescue him. Submerging to the feelings.

Your body laying there, unmoved. Curled up in the fetal position. When you felt a sharp spike of energy or emotion. Not sure what it was, but you felt it. It jerked you up, sharply gasping for air. Inhaling hard and exhaling just the same. Coughing hard, your body starts to gag, ready to throw up.

Holding your mouth, as you gag. Holding down whatever wanted to come up. But your body wouldn't let you keep it down. Throwing black muck twice. Looking at it, it disgusted you. It soon started to evaporate, when you realized what it was. Talon's emotions. Your body expelled them out of you.

Standing up staggering, wiping your mouth. Holding your head just a bit, remembering why you where here. For Damian, picking up his spiked distress emotions.

"Damian!"you become alarmed, forgetting to recover you hurry and run to him. In just a few seconds you come and find yourself in some elaborate like Colosseum arena of some sort. It was pretty nicely designed. With very exquisite taste, not for the dead bodies wearing white owl masks you saw in the seats and around you. Now scared of might have befallen Damian.

Leaving the bloodily arena, pushing open double doors, gasping at more dead bodies wearing the same mask. Seeing the way they where executed no doubt was done by an elite. This was not Damian's work, no it was someone else. Swallowing hard, but regaining your true priority. Running away from the bodies, tracking Damian you come to a white room, with what looked like red coffins of some sort. The tops where open, looking in each one, not see anyone inside the large holding tubes.

Grabbing the edge you fling yourself down the hole. Landing hard, but that didn't matter. Running through, calling out for Damian even though you could feeling him. Stopping when you hear something drop and glass break. Not to far ahead of you, seeing the water and particles of glass shatter. Knowing right off the back who it was.

Damian now Robin, was able to get himself out the his 'cell' Talon put him in. Thankful for his early training since a young age, managing to break the tube that connected to the tube, spilling out the water. Reaching out his arm grabbing hold of a lever, which dropped the tube breaking it upon impact. Coughing up the liquid he almost ingested. Regaining his senses, he was sure he heard a familiar voice calling to him happily. A voice he hadn't heard in months, but that didn't mean he forgot about it. Hearing that voice call out to him, made the boy feel serene and joy. Even with his stoic look.

"Damian!"extra weight came on him, almost knocking him down if he didn't catch himself and the person who hugged him tightly. This hug he remembered it well. This important embrace he grew to cherish even if never would say it. Feeling their arms around him, he wasn't sure if this was a dream. But in a dream you couldn't smell someones scent. It was when he heard them say."Ninjaboy."He knew right away who it was.

Grabbing their arms, prying himself out of their arms, looking at them with wide eyes. Only for them to turn into confused one. A girl at least a year older than him, who sounded just like the person dear to him. But instead of black long hair he knew, it was instead white and cut in a pixie style. And instead of those sweet blue-violet eyes that held such deep compassion where hazel ones.

A snarl look forms on the boy. Seeing this, remembering how your appearance. Seeming a bit hurt by his reaction but you couldn't blame him. Calling his name softly, you take out your contacts revealing your normal eye color and bringing your masked around your mouth down. Damian looks harder taking off his mask, he realizes it was you.

"...Violet."he looks at you with his usual scowl, but you could see passed it. He was just as happy to see you, just as you where him. Everything seem to stand still for a few seconds, during this reunion. When he remembered Talon. Getting up quickly."Come on."he tells you, nodding your head getting up. Damian grabs hold of your wrist pulling you with him. This time you didn't stumble, which surprised him. Taking out his communicator he calls Alfred and informs him of how to stop Talon's army, by making sure the temp is subzero."We have to hurry to the Manor!"

Nodding your head agreeing. Lifting your masked back up to cover your mouth. Taking your wrist back from Damian, you run next to him. Surprising him, something changed in you since those months apart. You still looked the same besides the hair, but something about your personality changed. Normally you would be meek and back down, this time there was something else. Just like with him, something changed with his time away from you, yet it still remained the same.

Hustling quickly to the Manor, you felt Batman, Alfred and Nightwing's hostile emotions. Worried about them, you and Damian scale the walls of the Manor racing across the lawn. Finding a broken window, the two of you slip in. Damian helps you inside, running down the hall. Damian stops and turns to you."Go and help the others!"he tells you, knowing your mind was mainly on Dick. He then runs off leaving you.

Nodding your head, you focus on Dick and make your way down to the Batcave. A place you had not been in sometime. Though you wanted to start and reminisce now was not the time. Looking you see a army of Talons fighting the others. Looking for you cousin, you spot him fighting another man with dark either red or maroon hair the same length as your cousin. Who was putting the beating on Nightwing.

Your heart skipped, taking out your tonfas. Jumping down into the fight. Landing on one of the Talons using them to push yourself off, while knocking them back in the process. It the other Talons to realize you fighting for Batman, and started to attack you. But you didn't go down easy, jumping from to another. To reach your cousin. Barely dodging them sharp claw gloves. With the last one, pushing off them coming to where the leader was with Nightwing by the case of Robin costumes.

A surprise attack, that took Talon by surprise. Coming up hitting him in the face with one of your tonfu, which took him off balance. You then go and drop down kicking him hard in the chest but at the sametime you transferred some of the negative energy you held in, powering up your kick that transferred it to him. Blasting him back, standing protectively infront of Nightwing, who was baffled by your sudden appearance, mentally tell himself not say anything about being saved by a kid.

Twirling your weapons, waiting for Talon to come. Nightwing was about to say something when he got a closer look at you. His eyes widen when he realized who it was.

"Violet!?"you hear your cousin call to you. Pulling down your mask, showing he was right. He overwhelmed with joy to see you, if circumstance could present themselves much better. He would embrace you in a hug. But instead, he gets his guard up as Talon comes back with lashing yet refined focused attacks on the two of you. Nightwing quickly throws you out of the way, taking the blows. Getting up quickly, the temperature drops in the cave, stopping the other Talons. Batman was able to do it, sighing happily. Only for that moment to end, when you hear Nightwing's agnostic grunts."Violet!Run!"he yells in pain.

Looking your eyes widen in horror seeing Nightwing pinned by two blades in shoulder on the costume case. Talon turns his attention to you, holding his claws up ready to come at you. No an ounce of sympathy in his eyes, that burned deeply with bloodlust. The fact you where a minor was of no concern to him.

Thinking quickly, he saw it blocking the tonfu you throw at him, breaking it with his own strength. Seeing the fear in your eyes, pleased him. His agility was faster than you, before you could even leap over the railing he manages to hit you back hard with his knee. Then come down and elbow you in the spine. Slamming you hard down, you yelp in pain. Which alerted the others, Nightwing screams your name. Standing over your body, Talon makes sure you didn't move. Seeing you didn't even move an inch. He goes off to finish what he came here to start.

Pain surged through you body, mainly through you spine. Hearing Nightwing call to you, waiting you to respond. Pushing yourself up, stumbling at first but you manage to get up. Hearing a fight happening, along with grunts you knew to well. Looking the best you could, using the railing to help you up. Your vision a bit blurry, but you still made it out.

Squinting your eyes, looking to see that it was Damian fighting Talon. Who now had the upper hand, Damian falls down."NO!"you gasp, with the strength you had forgetting about your pain. Limping turned into running, jumping off the side of the rail right where Talon who held up Batman. Ready to give the final blow. Your eyes glow as your skin turns dark. Your hands out."DON"T YOU DARE!"

Talon looks up, you land right on him around his neck. And slam your hands on either side of his temple. He screams as you send a wave of the corrupted emotions you held in you, unleashing it onto him. He screams in pain, trying to get you off him. But you didn't let go, holding on with all your might. Your skin starting to return back to normal, knowing that everything you held was gone, you give one last good wave and jump off, kicking him back. Stumbling just a bit. Talon, still screamed in agony.

That took you a great deal from you, falling to your knees but catch yourself. Smoke coming from you, breathing heavily. Looking you see Batman was fine and so was Damian.

"V-Violet?!"Batman surprised by your presence.

With a exhausted smile to him."H-Hi Mr...Bruce...I mean...Papa."he smiles softly back at you. He looks at your hair, noticing the color. Getting up you go over to Damian, and help him up."A-are you ok?"

He nods his head, about to say something when his eyes widen. But it was to late before he could alert you, and the second you turn around. Talon had his grip around your throat. Lifting you up with great ease. His grip became tighter, you began to claw at him. But it made no difference.

Damian snarls at him."Let her GO!"he yells along with Batman.

Talon looks at you then to the boy. A sadistic smile appears."She means that much to you, doesn't she?"Damian narrows his eyes threatening to the man, who was able to the answer. His grip tightens on you, that the others could hear what sounded like neck bone and spin crushing. Digging his claws into your skin, blood started to drip from it. Damian saw it, his eyes widen.

"STOP IT!"he demands.

"She's just like Batman, both of them are holding you back. I'll just eradicate them both."his grip tightens more, your body unable to handle it and with lack of oxygen, Damian and Batman watches as your arm goes lip. Talon then goes and picks up Batman."Now...say goodbye to them both."

Growling, Damian on pure adrenaline fury attacks Talon who drops the two of you. Batman manages to catch you, before you hit the ground. He looks down at you, seeing the marks from Talon's glove. Looking he watches his son fight off the man, to protect not just him. But also you, stating that Talon would never be able to replace Batman because he was his father. And that would die before allowing you too. Seeing the it in his eyes. Talon prompts Damian to finish him with the sai he had pointed at the man. But Damian refused to so. So Talon did it for him, he steps into the pointed blade impaling himself on it. Startling and leaving Damian tainted. Before he died. Filled with anger and frustration over what just happen. Confused not sure what to do. His father saw it.

Getting up, with you in his arms. He goes to console his son, who looks down at you. Confessing to his father how he felt he should have killed Talon, along with how he hears Talia, Talon and Batman's voice in his head, and not his own. Not knowing who he was, being troubled. Batman sympathizes with his son, knowing his son was right, that he needed to leave. Telling him about a Monastery in the Himalayas that went there when he was troubled years ago. How the monks there helped him. Damian at first denied the help but thought it over. His eyes still on you.

Bruce saw the deep concern in his sons eyes for you. The same look he had months ago with you, when he sent you off to live with Talia. Feeling unworthy and wanting to keep you safe. Damian places a hand ontop of yours. Without words, Batman hands you over to his son. Who holds up his hand denying you.

"No...I don't deserve to."he tells him. Looking away."I need to go pack."looking at you one last time he leaves. Batman watches his son, then looks down at you he knew his son wanted him to watch over you. While he went away to gather himself and find himself. And when he did he would be worthy of you.


If you want to, listen A Thousand Miles when you read this part.

Waking up, finally. Your vision a bit hazy but it was still alright. Feeling something soft under you. Realizing it was a bed, sitting up in a familiar large bed. In a room you knew all to well. It was your old room in the Manor. A jolt of remembrance came, Damian. Jolting up, the pain caught up with you, you stumble out of bed. Pushing your pain behind you call for Damian. Flinging your door open, dressed in satin nightgown. You go to his room door, knocking on it over and over again. Calling for him. But he didn't open his door.

You repetitive knocking echoed through the Manor. Alfred, Dick and Bruce come rushing to you. They find you, knocking your last knock on his door. Your head upon his door. They remain quiet, hearing your whimpers figuring out for yourself that he left. Sliding down, onto your knees mouthing his name. Feeling the presence of the others, you look to them. Your eyes land upon Bruce, who gives you a sympathetic look. His look did not help you, your tears came more with crying sounds echoing through the manor. Burying your eyes in your hands. Shaking your head no, wishing he was hear. Without saying a word.

Dick hurries over to you, embracing you tightly. Letting you cry on him, again he chose for you. To keep you safe, far away from him. You came back to see him again, and though the reunion was short, you hoped that this time it would be better. You would be able to stay, and continue the friendship. The many ideas you had for the two of you, going to the movies, doing school activities together, enjoying the holidays together. So much you had planned that you wanted to do with him. But now, that would not happen. Instead of sadness it became replaced with anger.

Dick could sense it, he held you tighter. But you get up and push him away running back to your room. Shutting the door hard. Wanting to go after his cousin to comfort her. Feeling a hand upon his shoulder, it was Bruce who looks at your door. Dick looks back too, understanding to give you space.

Getting up, Dick leaves with the two men. To give you time alone. Sitting in your room, with your back to the door to prevent anyone from coming. Crying angry tears. When you hear familiar chirping sound. Looking at your open window. Richie comes flying in. He lands on your hand you had open for him. He ruffles his feathers looking at you, happily.

Surprised that he found you, you left to go free. So he wouldn't get hurt, but yet he came back. Ignoring your order for him to go. Wiping the tears from your eyes, Richie chirps again. Standing up, you smile down at the little bird. Thanking him.


In the cold Himalayas Damian covered in mountain attire, with a thermal jacket looks as the snow blows aside giving him a clear vision of the Monastery his father told him about. Where he needed to be, to help him figure out about himself. Just as he lifts his masks up, he hears footsteps approaching in the distance behind. Turning around, he looks waiting to see who it was. The footsteps became closer, with his guard up, that is until he saw who it was that came.

His eyes widen, surprised to find you. You stood there right infront of him. He was speechless. You look at him with hurtfully eyes. He never felt so guilty from the look you gave him, he knew why you gave him that look. For leaving you behind, so he could deal with what he needed to on his own. So you would not be caught up in it. Behind your hurt eyes he saw anger, tired of others telling you want to do. Your eyes spoke demand. Demanding that you choose not anyone else.

But through all that, he saw how happy you where to be with him. How important he as to you. Damian kept his scowl up rolling his eyes in irritation at your presence."You are a very stubborn, girl."he tells you. Hearing a chirping sound, he looks, seeing this you unbutton your thermal jacket as well, showing him a bundled up Richie. Which baffled the boy. That you brought him all the way out here."You do realize, his kind is not meant to be in the cold?"

He looks at you, you smile behind your mask at him."Yes, but...he would still follow me. Either way. So...I couldn't live him behind. I care for him way to much."

Hearing your words that paralleled with the current situation right now. Looking to the little bird, then to you. A small smirk appears on his lips. He digs into this pocket, your attention on Richie, making sure he was alright. That you didn't see Damian coming over, until you felt him place something around your neck. Looking realizing how close he was to you. Looking passed you, when he felt your eyes on him. Finished with what needed to do, he looks right into yours. Locked, both eyes locked on eachother.

Damian arches an eyebrow at you."What?"

You couldn't help but giggle sweetly at his denseness. Which of course he assumed you where mocking him. But left it alone. Looking to your hair."Tell me, that will grow out?"

You touch your hair."Yes...it will."

"Good. Because it..."he turns his back to you."Doesn't suit you."he slightly mumbles the last part, covering his mouth with his mask. He looks to the Monastery."I have a lot to deal with. To find myself."

You stand next to him looking at the place as well. Shaking your head no."No."you tell him. He looks at you, but you kept your eyes straight at the place. Grabbing hold of his hand, tightly. He looks at it, then to you. Which you finally look at him with your smile."We have a lot to deal with. Together."your grip became tighter.

He scuffs nodding his head."Yes...that we do."he looks at what he put around your neck, you do as well and see it was your locket. Your eyes light up, looking at him. He gives you a half smile, but a smile none the less. Feeling his grip tighten with yours."Let's go."he tells you. Nodding your head agreeing. The both of you walk off towards Monastery, hand in hand. Ready to find yourselves and become stronger, and would return back when ready. But right, you both had eachother and nothing was more important.

Hope you enjoy the ending. :) sorry if there was only three chapters for the story. But again thank you to everyone who has read it. I am glad you enjoyed it :). If you have any questions let me know. :) plus I have a feeling some of you might ask if there will stories of their life at the Monastery.
