"So why are you guys here." Jason asked bluntly as I sat on the couch, staring at Kori, she had such strange coloured skin and eyes but was still unbelievably beautiful. She stood by Roy who looked slightly insulted.

"Do I need a reason to drop by my best friend's house?" exclaimed Roy and after a long uncomfortable silence he added, "Alright we need help with a job." A sheepish grin came to his face as he looked at Jason, whom stood by the couch I was on, a frown on his face as he contemplated the idea.

"Okay, I'll bite, what job is it?" Jason sighed. Roy's face lit up immediately and Kori smiled slightly, she had turned to me now and was staring at me, I could feel her looking me up and down, judging me and it made me feel slightly exposed so I turned to face Roy who hesitated, looking over at me and then looked at Jason whom just nodded and this seemed to be enough for Roy who began explain the job.

"My sources gave me information that there is going to be a massive shipping of weapons down at the dock, a lot of the big timers are going to be involved, namely Black Mask and a few others. But its huge and it needs to be stopped before they wreak havoc in this city." While Roy was speaking he walked over to the fridge and grabbed a beer from the fridge which made Jason glare at him although he ignored it.

I frowned at this explanation, it didn't make sense for Roy to want to take down such a big operation in the Batman's home city so I piped up and said; "You forgot the fact that Batman's got a constant eye on the docks, by the way you're talking about this he's got to already know." Roy seemed to really look at me for the first time now; he seemed to come to the realisation that I wasn't some girl who Jason had just taken home for some one night stand. He looked me up and down, apparently now noticing all the scars that covered my bare flesh and curiosity appeared in his bright green eyes.

"Who are you?" Kori asked before Roy got the chance, she had not removed her eyes from me and I sat up straighter under both their gazes, I looked up to Jason who nodded silently at me and I looked back at the others.

"My name's Violet, Jason's been training me for almost a year now, after some unfortunate events." Roy raised her eyebrows at me and then looked towards Jason solemnly.

"It seems all our lives have been born from…unfortunate events." Roy muttered, looking distance as if thinking back to some past memories. An uncomfortable silence fell upon the group and I looked at the ground trying to force back the memories of the recent nightmare.

Jason coughed awkwardly, "Getting back on topic, what Vee said does make sense, why not just let the Bat handle all this?" I could tell Jason really didn't like to admit that he would refuse a case because Batman had it covered but it made sense, if they were both there then the end result would be quite messy.

Kori was the one who spoke up this time, her bright eyes finally focussing on Jason, "Our intel also told us that there were people in place to keep Batman busy tomorrow night, it seems like it is up to us." Jason's mouth moved into a crooked smile,

"So that means all the more action for us." He said happily, "So if its tomorrow night that this is going down we've got some preparations to do, Vee if you could be so kind, I've got some new AK-47's out the back I've been dying to try out."

I nodded and hurried out the back to the room where we stored our weapons, there was probably over one hundred or more different types of guns stored in the room and Jason had taught me how to use every one of them. I heard the faint voices of the others talking over the plan for tomorrow, they were eager for this and frankly so was I. I was thirsty for some action, I craved it. Hearing how big this deal was I hoped that Two-Face would show up, there was a large possibility that he would and I knew that if I found him, I would make him pay for what he has done, for the people he has hurt. There was no damn way I would let him walk away with his life because if he did I would have failed myself and my parents.

I found Jason's guns and walked back into the lounge, placing them on the table along with the ammo. I was quite tired but there was no way I was going back to sleep, looking over at Jason and the others, I didn't feel as if I would be much help in the planning of this mission so I decided to get some fresh air. I climbed outside, onto the fire escape and made my way up to the roof. I sat on the edge, legs dangling over the alley below, the cool night air felt refreshing. The constant sound of sirens had become oddly calming to me over the last few nights, it was nice and familiar. The lights of Gotham were like a Christmas tree, I enjoyed looking at them and this roof had an excellent view. I spent a lot of time up on this roof, it was a great place to think and relax, escaping the reality of what my life had become. I knew that my parents would not be happy with what I chose to do with my life but all that mattered to me was getting justice for them. They deserved better than what they got.

"Aren't you cold?" A familiar voice called to me and I jumped, surprised, I hadn't heard anyone join me on the roof top. I smiled when I realised who it was and replied not even bothering to look back,

"I never seem to feel the cold and besides, the breeze feels so refreshing." I turned to see Tim, in his Red Robin costume sit next to me.

"I see you've got visitors, I'm guessing it's not just a social visit, you want to tell me what there up to?" Tim inquired curiously, looking at me and I rolled his eyes at him,

"Sorry to spoil your fun but they really are just dropping in to say hello, Jason does actually have some good friends you know." I lied, there was no way I was letting slip about the weapons shipment, it could be my chance to find Two-Face and there was no way I was letting that get away from me. I could sense Tim frowning at me but I refused to meet his gaze.

"Come on Violet, this is nothing to be lying about, if something is about to go down in Gotham, Batman and I need to know." I raised my eyebrows at him and shook my head,

"I'm not lying Red Robin. Just believe me…please." I asked and Tim stared at me silently for a moment before finally sighing and nodding his head,

"Fine… Well, it's nice to seeing you again anyway, I wish I could stay but…you know." He added quietly and I nodded sadly. I knew that we wouldn't be able to stay close now I was out of the Wayne Manor, it was like we were on opposing sides. It made me sad, I had the urge to tell him to stay so we could talk longer but all that came out was,

"Goodbye." Tim nodded and gave a wave before disappearing into the dark shadows of a near by building. I breathed out slowly, shakily. I knew that I had Jason whom I cared for deeply but never in my life had I felt so alone. So disconnected.

I stayed on the rooftop for about two hours more before Jason came up to find me, he silently sat next to me, staring at the horizon as the sun began to rise. Finally I turned to him and found his eyes meeting mine. He pulled me into a deep kiss which I relished. Warmth flooded through me and I eagerly kissed back. Finally he pulled back.

"You better get some sleep, it's going to be a tough mission tonight." He said softy and I nodded, realising how tired I felt. It was going to be a very long night indeed.
