Chapter 31: Letters (Part 3)

Location: Everest-Underground City-LowerLevels-Talia's Quarter

Talia opened her door to find Harley, lending against the wall.

"Hello Amirah (Princess)," Harley said.

"What do you want, Quinn," Taiia said,

"It's Doctor Quinn. I didn't earn that PhD for fun, thank you very much," Harley said, walking into the living room.

"No you're felonies were for fun," Talia said.

"I'm a doctor, sweetie…which means I can break every bone in your body whilst naming them," Harley said.

"You were a clown's glorified shrink not a medical doctor," Talia said.

"No need to get nasty….can't you tell when someone's kidding with you," Harley said.

"I used to and then I met you," Talia said.

"How are you holding up," Harley said, losing the teasing tone.

"My beloved is dead, and my son blames his brother for his death," Talia sighed, sitting down on the couch, "How you think I feel.

"I think you need some alcohol before and possible after I give you this," Harley said, handing Talia the letter. Talia saw Bruce's handwriting, and couldn't breathe for a moment.

Dear Talia,

I will always remember the very first time we met, the very first time my lips touched your lips, the very first time you wrapped your arms around me and rested your head on my shoulder. Your smile your way of looking at me will always be fresh in my memories.

We are two sides of the same coin. And would love to be able to say I hate it, but I can. You are and will always be the best part of my nightlife. You were the best part of my life. This will be our final goodbye. I wish it wasn't. I want to tell you how great you are, and how glad I am to have known you. I want to thank you for giving me the greatest gift, my son; and I wished that you, Damien, and me could have been a family together.

Bruce

Location: Everest-Underground City-Shooting Range

After a little while, Helena had come down. The first thing she did was grab her bolt shooter and a full clip, and headed to the range. She was halfway through her clip, when she knew she wasn't alone.

"What do you want birdbrain," Helena asked.

"Why didn't you tell me I was a big brother," Dick said.

"Alfred knew…I thought he would have let it slip eventually," Helena said, firing, "Beside, my mother was giving you all hints those years…you should have caught on."

"I wasn't thanking about my having a little sister with a shooting complex," Dick said, and Helena's shot wavered.

"How," Helena asked, putting the shooter down.

"Bruce's letter said stubborn mothers," Dick said, sitting down against a wall, "And only three women has I every heard him can stubborn were Selena, Talia, and Shayera….And no universe could handle a child of Bruce and Shayera."

"That's true," Helena chuckled.

"So," Dick said.

"It's a boy," Helena said, walking over and siting down beside Dick, "He is a little devil with puppy dog eyes."

"Good," Dick said.

"What can you tell me about him," Dick said.

"He's a kid," Helena replied, shrugging and taking aim again, "He likes shiny things and steals them."

"That it," Dick asked.

"No, I have a hundred stories about him," Helena said.

"I have a hundred about growing up with Bruce," Dick said with a smile, "Wanna trade."

"Please," Helena said, laying her head on his shoulder.

"You know the first time I meet the league, I was such a little wiseass. I pointed fun at Superman and Green Lantern and flirted with Wonder Woman and Shayera," Dick said.

"Bruce must not have been thrilled about that," Helena said.

"I was eight," Dick said, "He was more concerned that my main insult for Superman was Big Blue Cheese and Alien Boy Scout."

That got the two laughing. And it also got another person hiding in the air vents thinking.

…I know you can do this. Of course, if you muck it up, I am going to be very cross. And dead.

~Bruce

Wally sat at his desk, reading his letter from Bruce. As Shayera sat at the window, her letter in her lap, unread and unopened.

"Incredible," Wally chuckled, setting his letter down.

"What," Shayera asked, turning from the window.

"That man didn't has a scene of humor until the day he died," Wally said, leaning back in his wheelchair.

"What's it," Shayera asked, smiling at the thought of what Bruce may have written.

"That man always did have a back-up plan," Wally said.

"What," Shayera asked, standing up and walking to Wally.

"This," Wally said, holding up a microchip.

"What's that," Shayera asked, and Wally plugging the chip into his computer.

"Operation CHRONOS," Wally said.

"That's not everything," Shayera said, watching two files pop up on the screen. Shayera would never admit it, with her being a seasoned warrior and whatnot; but when those files opened, her jaw down.

"If we make it through this, I might kiss that man," Shayera said.

"Me too," Wally said.
