The Daughter's Diary
Chapter 11: On The Edge Of Optimism
Lex Luther pats her meager back, "Well, I did warn you young Maris."
Her eyes were still filled with misery, "I think they don't love me anymore."
"Dear Maris, did they even love you before?"
She fell silent again. She never really asked. Well it's not like she never thought to ask, but she was just scared what the answer was gong to be.
Maris sank more into the chair she was currently sitting in. He smiled at her lightly, "It's okay, I'll always be here for you. Just like I've always have."
She wiped a tear, "Are you really my father?"
His hands became softer and smiled lightly, "I've always been the one that has been a father to you. Of course I am."
She nodded slowly. Luther excused himself out of the room as he lets Mercy stay with the young child.
...
They sneaked into the Bat Cave to use the more complex and gigantic computer tracking machine to find their daughter. They didn't exactly know if they could tell the family that they lost they're precious child, again.
Dick knows that Bruce isn't in the mansion because he's somewhere in Belgravia promoting Wayne Enterprise. And plus he already coded the alarm signals to not go on. All they want to do is get in and out.
His fingers touch the keyboards of the computer as files came spurting out with numbers and letters next to them. Something only a bat kid was trained to do.
Zatanna got more and more fidgety, "Do you think she wants to be found?"
"Of course, Zee. What child doesn't want to be found?" His eyes are still fixed upon the computer.
"Well," she went closer to where he was sitting, "Maybe a child who doesn't want to be found?"
He's looking at her now with a sentimental look, "I don't think Mary Ella is like that."
"But that's just it," somehow her hands turned red, "She's not Mary, she's Maris."
Dick was taken aback from her answer. He looked back to his work, "Don't you still want to look for her."
"Of course I do, you know that-"
"I know, I know. Either Mary or Maris we're still going to help that little girl, okay?"
Suddenly, a body jumped out of the dark, "Don't be too sappy, Grayson."
Nightwing felt like his headache might explode, "What are you doing here Damian?"
"I live here, Grayson. You shouldn't be touching father's equipment."
Zatanna leans on the colossal computer, "Dami, this is important-"
"Woman! My name is Damian Wayne! Not Dami," he scolded at her while impersonating her voice.
Richard pushes out of his seat, "Come on Zee, I got the information."
They both try to exit out of the bat cave without any Damian complaints, but that was too impossible.
...
Lex Luther clasps the petite clear glass in his hands while he motions it in a circular way. For a guy staring at one of the most deadly assassins in the world, his vital signs were pretty conventional.
Lex sips the alcohol, "I protrude you know what to do?"
"Why can't you kill the child yourself?"
Lex Luther stops his motioning, "Because I know my opponents very well, and the blood of that little girl would be too much."
The bronz armored figure folded his arms, "And that's why you hired me."
"Yes, your contribution to the Light is very much appreciated. We have acquired the information needed about all the Justice League members, but all we need to do now is to dispose the messenger."
There was a little bit of silence from both sides for a second. It wasn't until Lex Luther talked in a luminous voice, "Are we in the same page, Mr. Wilson?"
"I like to be called Deathstroke."
Yeeessss! Deathstroke is here- I don't know if you guys have noticed but he has been here in the story before. If you guys remember a little description from before, Deathstroke is actually the stranger that captured Mary Ella. Just a little hint hint there *wink*
And Deathstroke is not the only one that's back...yes...I'm here...even though I haven't updated this story in like a frieken YEAR! I am deeply sorry...even though I had like 99% of this story done like 6 months ago but fail to upload it...yes... I'm sorry and I'm also sorry that it's short, but I guess I wanted to leave it at an ominous cliffhanger *wink*
I'm ssssooooorrrrrryyyyyy but I've been lazy lately and I guess I just want to at least upload something before I keep contemplating in my mind that I am a terrible person but...lets all just wish the Grayson Family (plus an annoying Damian) that they'll find piece in the future (preferably near)
Review!
