Days passed. Terry was still not attending school, Blair made it a habit at visiting him after school. Her excuse was that she was helping Terry not fall behind in his classes, but even Nelson Nash could tell it was utter bull shit. She'd walk to his apartment, sit around and pretend to study while they sat around his room, talking about anything and everything, but school.
She learned a lot about him in a few days, after almost facing Juvenal hall in freshmen year, he went straight, well... Sorta. Terry liked to fight a lot, or more like Nelson liked to fight a lot. Blair wasn't surprised, she knows how Nelson is, thou he may be a sweet-heart with her, for obvious reasons, she knew Nelson's true colors.
"What happened to your septum piercing?" Asked Terry teasingly.
"Shut up niggah!" Blair shoves him playfully, making him chuckle.
"You said you were gonna get one." Terry continued to tease as he stuffed his face with cheese puffs.
"Well, thanks to Blade, I can't get one. Can't ask my dad for money all the time if not he'll snap at me. He doesn't like to spoil me."
"Rich kid problems!" Shouts Terry mockingly, laughing.
"Shat ap!" Laughs Blair as she drinks her soda.
"So... You and Nelson huh?" Asks Terry.
"Me and Nelson what?!"
"You guys have been dating for a while."
"Niggah you high?!" Snaps Blair. Terry resists the urge to burst into laughter.
"What?! You guys look like a couple!"
"Me and Blade are more of a couple than me and him. Like, I like Nelson, cause he's nice to me, but he is just a friend."
"Yeah, "nice" isn't really a word that I'd use to describe Nelson Nash with."
Blair giggles. "It's cause he think I want the D."
"Oh god, don't say that!"
Blair laughs.
"Ugh, I should start on that assignment wants for tomorrow."
"It takes me to talk about Nelson Nash's dick for you to actually do homework." She laughs. Terry chuckles and takes out his laptop. A small disk falls to the floor as he moves the computer. Blair tilts her head as she leans over and picks up the disk.
"What's that?" Blair asks as she picks up the disk. "Looks like something from Wayne enterprises."
"Probably my dad's." He mutters as he takes it from Blair's hands. He puts the disk into the computer to inspect the content.
"Whoa... What is this...?" Mutters Blair as she leans over Terry's shoulder to look at the computer screen.
"It's a formula... For some toxin compound."
"What?! My dad wouldn't let something like that be manufactured in the company!"
"This is really weird..! Think your grandfather would know something about this..?!"
"Don't know, my grandpa has been retired for a while." Mutters Blair as she rubs her chin thoughtfully.
"Your dad's at work, let's just ask him first then your dad."
"What are you guys doing?!" Said a small voice from behind them. Terry slams his computer closed and both teenagers turn around to find a ten year old child staring at them. It was Max, Terry's younger brother.
"Out of my room ya' dweeb!" Scolds Terry.
"Why?! So you can keep making kissy faces to Blair?!" Teased the ten years as he started to make kissing noises.
"Out!" Snaps Terry as he grabs the nearest object and throws it at his brother.
Max shouts and moves out of the way, bearly dodging whatever object Terry threw at him. "I'm telling mom!" Cries the child before he bullets out of the room.
Blair and Terry exchange looks.
"Let's go. My grandpa is still at the manor."
Terry and Blair walk along the streets of Neo-Gotham. The skies were clear and the streets alive. Blair placed her hood over head, it was strangely breezy. She looks over at Terry who was adjusting himself in his brown leather jacket.
"This way. It's faster." She mutters. Terry follows Blair down an alley that lead to a quiet street. "Let's hurry, it's gonna rain soon." Said Blair over her shoulder. They scurried down the street.
At that moment, an expensive car pulls up, the window tinted. One of the windows rolled down, revealing Mr. Powers, one of Wayne enterprises associates.
"Ah...! . I didn't expect to find you in this part of Gotham at such an ungodly hour...!" Said the man with a sly smirk. Blair narrowed her eyes slightly at him, but kept her composer. She had met before, at a charity event a few months ago. Blair didn't like the man at all, he smelled of corruption and douchy-ness. Reasons why her father partnered up with said man is beyond her.
"Oh, , what a surprise." She offered him a fake smile. "I was just on my way home."
"I noticed... Why don't i, offer you and your... Friend a ride." Hisses the business man. Both Terry and Blair were slightly shoved. They look back and find a man pointing a gun at them. Terry froze, as did Blair, but only for a few seconds. She slowly turns to Power and glares daggers.
"Get in...!" Blair whispers at Terry. Slowly but surely, they got into the car. The tall man with the gun followed them in, the nine millimeter still pointing at them.
"The fuck you think your doing Powers." Hissed Blair.
"Your little friend here has something that belongs to me." Said Powers as he crosses his legs.
"The disk...!" Whispers Terry, making Blair elbow him.
"Ah..! So you do have it." Smirks the business man.
"Your using my father's recourses to make these toxin... You sick bastard, just wait until I tell my-"
"You won't be doing anything ..." Said powers, pulling a silver gun and resting it against Blair's forehead. Blair bites her lips, resisting the urge to cuss out Powers. Terry moved to shield Blair, but the other man holding the nine millimeter prevent it.
"I'm giving you three seconds to let us go..!" Blair hisses as she glares coldly at Powers. Powers let out a laugh.
"Don't humor me child, it makes you look pathetic." Said Powers as he pressed his gun closer to Blair's forehead.
"Don't fuck with the Wayne's, Powers." She snaps, making the business man laugh more. Without hesitation, Blair twisted Power's wrist, taking the gun in her hand and shooting the other man's shoulder.
"Holly shit!" Yells Terry.
Blair grabs him by the collar and pulls him out of the car. They ran down the streets, trying desperately trying to take cover. Gun shots were fired, Blair and Terry duck into a random alley. Blair peaks out and begins to shoot randomly at them.
"Are you crazy?!" Scolds Terry, pulling her away from the alley's opening.
"Chill out, I'm only doing it to distract them!" Shouts Blair as she drops the gun, grabbing Terry's hand and pulling him down the ally to run.
"Their still following us!" Terry shouts.
"Just keep running and trust me!" Shouts Blair over her shoulder as they both keep running.
They want down the street and came across a tall bridge, they ran up the bridge, Powers hot on their tail.
"Jump!" Shouts Blair.
"What?!" Yells Terry with wide eyes.
"Jump!" Yells Blair as she pulls Terry violently, making him jump over the bridge. Blair and Terry crashed through a window and into a random apartment. Blair rolled to her feet, landing gracefully and unharmed. She looks back and sees Terry, lying on his back, groaning in pain. Blair walks over to him.
"Terry?! Terry, are you okai?!" Shouts Blair worried. He looks at her, an overwhelmed expression.
"Are you crazy?!" He scolds. Blair rolls her eyes at him.
"Get up bitch." She pulls him up to his feet. "C'mon Terry, we have to get to the manor, and fast."
"Can't I catch my breath?!" He complains.
"Your just asking to get shot."
Hours pass and rained poured over the teenagers.
"I think this disk is the reason why my father was really killed..!" Mutters Terry. Blair looks at him, a soft expression crosses her eyes.
"You don't know that for sure Terry..!" She mutters, taking his hand and gripping it.
"Let's face it... It's pretty obvious." He looks at her with cold eyes.
"If your right, I promise I'll bring Powers to justice." She says softly, a smile spreads across Terry's lips.
"You really are batman's daughter."
"Granddaughter... Robin was my dad. But those days are over."
"So no one in your family is a super hero anymore..?!" Asks Terry.
"My cousin is. He's superboy." Blair suddenly freezes when she realizes what she just blurt out. "Yeah... Don't tell anyone I told you that."
Terry chuckles. "If you get me some hot chocolate, and bring Powers to jail, my lips will be sealed."
"It's a deal." Blair giggles as she opens the gates to the manor.
Terry sat in the batcave, his hair still wet and a towel over his shoulders. Blair walks over to him, handing him a cup of hot chocolate.
"Thanks." He says to Blair as she walks over to her grandfather, who sitting on the large computer, reviewing the disk.
"I can't believe Powers is using my company to make this...!" Mutters Bruce as he places his elbows on the large desk.
"I can't believe you don't." Mutters Blair, crossing her arms.
"Please tell me your gonna get this guy." Says Terry as he stands. Bruce turns to Terry in his chair with an arched eye brow.
"I'm not doing anything. I'm calling commissioner Gordon."
"But your batman!" Shouts Terry.
"Was! Those days are over, got too old."
"Look Terry, I promised you justice and this is it." Says Blair as she walks closer to him.
"This isn't justice! He's just gonna talk his way out of it. We have to catch him in the act!"
"Terry, we have evidence, what more do you want?!" Snaps Blair.
"I want that bastard to pay and rot in jail!" Snaps Terry.
"I've done all I can...! Now leave." Glares Bruce. Terry glares back and does so. Blair took a heavy sigh and sat against the batcomputer's desk.
"Despite his attitude, he's right...!"
"I've done what I can..." Says Bruce softly.
"I know... And I appreciate it. " smiles Blair sweetly.
"Get some rest. I'll speak to your father when he gets home about Powers."
"Thanks grandpa." She kisses Bruce's cheek as she heads upstairs to rest.
The next day, Blair was constantly looking over her shoulder, Powers was still free man, and still wanted her dead... She wasn't afraid, her father trained her better than to be afraid of some corrupted little business man. She could take him, there wasn't a question in her mind she take anything Powers threw at her, at least she hoped. Today she went home late, the sun was setting and she wasn't going to visit Terry after yesterday's ordeal. She know she should, for safety reasons, but if Powers would have done something, he would have done it by now. With that in mind, she decided to give Terry some space, maybe even text him before bed. She walks up to the manor, walking in quietly, being greeted by Ace with dog-kisses.
"Down boy." She giggles as Ace settled down. As she walks deeper into her home, she notices that the grandfather clock that lead to the batcave was still open. She figured that her grandfather was still looking over the evidence on the disk. She headed down, resisting a sigh. She saw her grandfather glued to the computer monitor, a angered look across his features. Blair figured it was because he was still angry at Powers for using Wayne enterprises resources to create the toxin compound that was in the disk. But after looking around the batcave more carefully, she took in the possibility that it might be something else. Her chest tighten as she froze into place, her eyes slightly widen.
"Where's the bat suit..?!" She dare utter the words.
"M'ginnis took it." Hissed Bruce venomously.
"Fuck..!"
