Sorry for the wait. I've been busy. On to the story.
Break Line
Recap:
We walked downstairs and climbed inside of my van. We all sat in the back with me towards the front between Dick and Tim. Bruce faced me as he was directly across from me.
"Risionis, why did you become Sanna?" Bruce asked me. I swallowed, not having an answer.
"I guess because I wanted to show my father that I was better than him at annoying Batman. I'm not really sure," I answered, confused.
"Risionis,…who is your father?" Dick asked turning towards me. I played with my fingers for a moment, thinking about how I could answer Dick's question. "Risionis? Who is your father? We won't judge."
"I'm not sure about that," I mumbled under my breath, but of course the Bats heard it. Dick grabbed my hand and squeezed it. His face shone of worry and fear. The kind of fear that you get when you mother, who knows nothing about fashion, gets you an outfit and forces you to promise to wear it to school.
"Please just tell us, Risionis. I promise, cross my heart and hope to die, that we won't judge," Jason joked, trying to lighten the mood.
"I think you would have more reason to hate me if I told you than the others," I mumbled, quietly so that only Jason heard. Jason cocked his head to the side and looked confused.
"Why would I have more reason to hate you because of your father?"
"Because he killed you before."
The van got really quiet when I said that and their faces became mixtures of horror, worry, and dread. I got up and was about to run off when Bruce grabbed me around the waist and pulled me down into his lap. He wrapped his arms around me and held me as I cried my eyes out. Jason face became unrevealing and he got up and left. This is why I didn't want to tell him, I thought to myself. The others watched him leave and Dick got up to follow him, but was stopped b Bruce.
"Let him go, Dick. He needs time to deal with this. Just let him go." Dick started to say something back, but a look from Bruce stopped him. We all watched as Jason walked away into the night while tears streamed down my face. I pulled myself from Bruce's arms and raced after him.
"Jason! Jason! Jason, stop! Please! Jason!" I screamed after him, but he just started to run away and would run faster every time that I called out his name. He soon left me in the dust as I was sobbing and wasn't as familiar with this area of Gotham as I was with the docks. "Jason," I whispered as he vanished into the night, running from me and my heritage.
