A/N: Well, this is the last chapter of this part of Anastasia's life. Don't be too sad, though, because I will be posting a sequel to this story. I'm not sure how soon or how long it'll take me to get up that sequel because I'm still planning out the plot, but it will be up. Thank you all for sticking in with me and this story the whole way through and a special thanks to those who have left me reviews! Remember to leave me a review about how you felt about these last chapters and if you have any general questions!
I love you all!
Disclaimer: For the last time until the sequel, I am telling you that I do not own anyone or anything from the DC Universe.
Resurrection
The Troubling Epilogue
"Father," the brunette spoke as she entered the room, glancing over her father who had a towel wrapped around his bare shoulders. "You are looking much better after bathing in the Lazarus Pit." The image of the once burned corpse of her father flashed in her mind for a brief moment before she turned her attention back to him, watching as he drank from a glass of wine and stared out at the horizon.
"Ubu has informed that you have her. Where is she?" Ra's al Ghul inquired and glanced back at his daughter with an emotionless face.
"The girl is outside and waiting to be brought in at your command." Talia explained and nodded toward the guard at the door when her father sent his own nod of acknowledgement toward her.
A servant, surrounded by a group of assassins, wheeled in a steel table in which a body rested underneath a thin white sheet. Both Ra's and Talia al Ghul approached the corpse and the immortal man lifted up the sheet, examining the decaying child with a gaping hole in the middle of her forehead.
"We have procured Karina Azarova as you requested, father."
"And the detective has no idea that you were in Gotham?"
"Of course," Talia replied.
A dark chuckle sounded from her father and he placed a hand on the cool cheek of the small corpse. "Excellent. For now, store her in a cool place. It is not yet time for her place in our plan." He watched as the servant wheeled the table out of the room. "Send someone back to make sure her gravesite does not look disturbed. We cannot have the detective coming back to retrieve her before we send young Karina to the Lazarus Pit."
"As you wish, father."
