just a heads up there is mentions of rape but nothing in detail just the word and some cursing.

CHAPTER 4

DAMIEN'S P.O.V

"he's heading your way batwing" i hear my father tell me when i see him i drop down behind him i sneak up and put him in a choke hold he struggles but eventually grows still i drop him and drag him to a pole in the alley "what the hell was that?" "that was me taking care of a guy who's raped 17 women and killed 5 of those 17" i reply angrily while handcuffing him to a pole and dropping a flash drive with all the evidence needed to convict him "you should've waited for me" i turn around and say "why because you don't think i can handle myself or because you are afraid i would've killed him" he doesn't reply that just makes me angrier "incase you haven't noticed i am not 10!" i grab my grappling gun and aim for the roof "see you at the cave" i shoot and i'm on the roof before he can protest i take a few deep breaths to calm down and then make my way to the bat-cave when i get to the motor pool i get of my bike and head to the main area of the batcave as she likes to call it when i enter two things happen 1. i see grayson talking on the phone and 2. i hear father calling my name i ignore him instead i take off my cowl and my weapons then i hear a deep sigh and "fine" from grayson "i never accused you of anything" "you're right but just because never said anything doesn't mean you didn't fucking think it you don't trust me when she's not around" i shout at my father "i do trust you" "not as much as much as you do when she's around before he can say anything back grayson interrupts "um… speaking of 'her' she's on the phone" while covering the the bottom of the phone motioning towards me i walk towards him "here he is but i should warn you he's in one of his moods" i roll my eyes and take my phone from him "hey felicity" "Hey I need to tell you guys something and before you interrupt just listen" when i hear who voice my anger immediately starts to go away but when i hear that my anger comes back "fine" 'i swear to god if queen hurt her i'll kill him' "Good so apparently the electrocutioner is in Star City team arrow plus ray have been trying to catch him and after tonight's unsuccessful attempt to get him ray apparently had set up a search a few weeks ago to find anything like his MO And found the GCPD reports about him from 1998 And roy and ray figured that batman might have Had Something to do with it so ray, thea, Sara and I Are heading to Gotham" "and using his gala as cover as to why you're there" i finish for her "yep" i take a deep breath to calm down cause i don't need her using her loud voice on me "this is the kind of thing you don't wait one day before telling someone" i say already trying to think of a way to tell them "i thought you saw my name on the guest list" i can practically hear her trying to figure out how none of them could have known that she was coming "yes I saw your name on the guest list but I'm talking about the trying to find batman part" when i say batman fathers and grayson's head snap towards me with confused and slightly panicked looks on their faces already going to the worst possible situation but felicity comes first always "and don't say something about the gala being a last minute decision" already knowing what she was going to say "you know me too well and that means you also know that i would call to tell you the second i got a phone and a private place to speak" "your right thanks for the heads up" i tell her honestly "you're welcome i would love to chat but" "you have to pack why do you put it off till the last minute?" i smile slightly thinking about her cursing under her breath and running her hands through her hair hating that she waited till the last minute "i don't know see you later" i chuckle already hearing the slight aggravation in her voice "goodbye felicity" "bye" and hang up when i look up from my phone and see father and grayson father's face is unreadable "explain now" he growls i take a deep breath still mad at him "well…"

DAMIEN'S P.O.V

getting ready for the gala

'why is pennyworth making me wear a bow tie' i snap out of my thoughts by a knock at my door' "dami open up" i recognise grayson's voice "enter" i growl in frustration i hear a chuckle behind me i turn around "what i swear pennyworth makes me wear these things because he likes to watch me suffer" "yeah i know may i" he asks while motioning to my bow tie "go ahead" he walks up and 15 seconds later he steps back i turn around and look in the mirror "wha-how?" "babs made me learn" "it took you 15 seconds to do what i've been trying to do for a hour" i ask incredulously while turning to face grayson "you've worn bow ties before, how?" "felicity tied them for me other times i've just worn a regular tie" i answer "ready to go down?" he asks "yes" and we head down the stairs when we get down barbra comes up to us and says "in 5 minutes come get me i do not want to talk to got it?" "got it babs" "okay good" she then turns to me and says "hey damien long time no see" it's good to see you to barbara she smiles and walks of to find but not before she grabs a glass of champagne we walk into the party "why would anyone talk to voluntary she's so snobby, gossiper and condescending, i mean seriously why would anybody willingly talk to her he hands me a glass of champagne "she talks to her first so she doesn't think you're avoiding her and you don't have to talk to her again so that way you might actually enjoy the party without looking over your shoulder worried about talking with her, smart move" grayson looks at me in shock before saying "damn, that's smart" "you should go rescue her" he's confused before looking behind him and seeing that barbara was about to go batgirl on "oh" and he rushes over after a minute they come back over "god i am a nice person and i don't believe in killing but i just want to wrap my hands around her throat" "on the plus side you don't worry about talking to her again" then barbara's eyes land on the entrance to the ballroom grayson then follows at what barbara is looking at and i'm curious at what they're looking at so i follow and look at what their looking at and i see felicity at the entrance with ray and thea on her right side and sara on her left 'she looks stunning' is the first thing that pops into my head when i see her.
