Legacy of Bats & Iron

Four: Death Is Still Roaming

Years had passed and the girls hard grown to be young ladies very different but very similar both wearing mask for their peers.

"You would think that Osborn would leave us alone." Toni said with a groan laying down in her bed.

"Well we would be a big investment." Brianna said with a smile.

"Well I don't care about that."

"Still pinning for the Captain?" Brianna asked giggling her eyebrows with and a smile on her face. That only ended with her having a pillow being thrown toward her face.

"Hey!"

"Why did you keep reminding me about it?" Toni said. "Look at it this way the man is never coming out of the ice." Toni sounded a bit bitter about it and Brianna knew the reason about it, it meant that Howard had gone on another 'Let's find Captain America Tour' she knew how much it annoyed Toni.

"You may never know, it might actually stop Howard from looking for his again." Brianna told her.

"I really don't care anymore." Toni told Brianna. "I don't think it matters."

Winter Holidays

"Mum it's the Winter Holiday you promised…"

"We already told you Antonia that you're Mother and I will be leaving for two weeks." Howard told her.

"But…we were supposed to be together for the first time." Toni said.

"Toni dear, we will be back before you know it." Maria told her.

"Yeah, when I have to go back to the academy." Toni told her crossing her arms.

"Antonia stop acting like a child you understand that what I do is important." Howard told her.

"You're trying to find a man that has been under the ice for 59 years…you're looking for a lost cause!" Toni snapped and she didn't expect what happened next she just felt a burning heat on her cheek.

"Howard!" Maria said pulling Toni backwards and hugging her.

"Don't Maria; she needs to understand that finding Steve is not just for me it's for the betterment of the world." Howard said.

"I hate you!" Toni said moving away from Maria and walking away.

Maria followed her daughter toward her bedroom and she was laid own on her bed crying. Maria sat down on the bed with her going to touch Toni's head.

"Why is he looking for him Mum?"

"Your Father wants to do the right thing. Steve is someone he feels guilty over. Toni you need to understand…"

"I don't want to understand, why I was even born if I was only going to be ignore." Toni told her sitting up.

"I apologize that you feel that way, but I can tell you that you are the most important person in my world." Maria said and pulled Toni closer. "Tell you what?"

"What?" Toni asked.

"You can go over to the Wayne's for the Holidays and when we come back you and I will go on a girl's only trip." Maria told her. "You and me shopping in Europe and doing girly things."

"Really, you'll be with me." Toni said.

"Yes, I give you my word your vacation is for three weeks we're only gone for two and I'll be back just you and me." Maria told her.

"Okay." Toni told her with a smile. Maria hugged her tightly.

"I'm going to miss you so much."

"So will I Mum." Toni told her.

"Love you."

"Love you too." Toni replied to her.

Wayne Manor

Toni and Brianna were watching movies, while Martha was looking at paper work for Wayne Enterprises.

"Mum, you promised." Brianna said.

"I know, I know this is the last page I give you my word." Martha replied putting the page away. "I guess the Board of Directors can wait another day and I can be with my favorite girls."

"Come on Aunt Martha you're missing the best part." Toni said.

"I'm going." Martha answered and Alfred moved to carry her from her chair to the couch. She pulled both girls to her.

"Now, what have I missed so far?" Martha replied.

"We it is the Princess Bride." Brianna said.

"Oh, so has its inconcebible." Martha said with a wink just as they saw the Persian and Wesley battle of wits.

#

The girls had fallen asleep on the couch much later in the night, while Martha was looking over the paperwork.

"What is on you mind Mistress Wayne?" Alfred asked.

"I worry about Toni's parents." Martha told him. "Maria hasn't missed a call and she hasn't called for two days straight."

"It might be the signal and Mr. Stark is known to been incredibly busy." Alfred told her and Martha looked at him straight in the eye.

"You and I both know that Howard cannot stop Maria from calling Antonia." Martha told him.

The New Years was coming when a knock came to Wayne Manor. Toni was excited it for she knew that her Mother had come for her. Brianna and Martha came forward; Brianna was helping with the wheelchair. Alfred opened the door and on the other side stood Jarvis with Obadiah.

"Jarvis, did my Mum ask you to come for me?" Toni asked.

"Oh my dear girl, you haven't heard." Obadiah said.

"What?" Toni asked.

"Miss Stark you need to be very strong." Jarvis told her.

"Obadiah, what is the matter?" Martha asked.

"I'm afraid Antonia's parents suffered an accident." Obadiah answered. Toni's eyes went wide.

"No." Toni said.

"Maria has died." Obadiah said and flinched at the glare Martha gave him. Toni fell to the knees and Brianna went to hug her.

"At the bright side, Howard is alive in the hospital but alive." Obadiah said.

"Alfred please gets the car ready we are going to the hospital." Martha said.

"Right away, Ma'am."

"I don't want to go; I want to see my Mum." Toni told Martha.

"Antonia please understand everyone needs to see you supporting your Father for his great lost." Obadiah pleaded with her. "Just know that he is hurting just as you."

"You heard Antonia, Howard can wait." Martha told him, her voice hard and cold. "We are going to see Maria as I know that her body must have been transported and gotten ready for burial."

"Martha you must under—"

"Mrs. Wayne, Obadiah." Martha told him. "Come on girls, we are going."

The sky was dark and raining to the surprise of many. Toni was dressed in black with glassed covering her red eyes. Obadiah was trying to get near Toni. This time he couldn't as Martha and Brianna were both standing with her. Howard was standing next to them but he was looking straight, Brianna was holding Toni's hand.

"It's going to be alright." Brianna whispered to her. When the other's left and the only ones left were Martha, Brianna, Howard and Toni. The Father and Daughter had not spoken at all.

"This is your fault." Toni said walking away pulling Brianna with her. Howard looked at the grave and spoke to the only person there.

"I believe it is for the best that Antonia stays with you, until she returns school."

"She is leaving for college, just lost her mother and you don't care." Martha told him.

"You've been through this and pushed your daughter away, you're no better than I Martha." Howard told her.

"I did it to be better, not chasing a ghost." Martha said.
