Wayne Maner
9:45 pm
Maya, sit down in the middle of her bed, her legs crossed over. Cami top and underwear, letting her tears fall down her face. Her heart was hurting very badly. Her cellphone was ringing, at first she wasn't paying much attention to it. Then it stopped, but few minutes later. It started up again, she finally answered her cellphone. "Hello?!" Sigh of relive on the other end of the cellphone. "I'm glad, you finally answered me. I was about ready, to drive over there and check on you." Realizing, that he was pretty serious, about checking on her. "You, don't have to do that. Just cause, you feel guilty about the past. Don't make me, a priority, just too easy your guilt."
"Maya?! I'll admit it, yes, I feel guilty for past three years."
"You, need to let it go. I'm not that important."
"Maya. You're very wrong, you have become important. Not, just me. But, the whole team."
Tears were falling down her face, "I just- I'm trying to understand you."
"Be honest with me. Remember, what you said at the restaurant. About being honest, I want you to tell me truth. I know you're scared, most all still hurting from the past three years."
"Fletcher, wasn't crying because of you. I was upset and hurt, cause i."
"Cause of what?"
"Just, Missed them so much."
"Mom and Dad?!"
"No! My grandparents, I hardly knew them. When, I was up there flying, I swear I could feel them. With me. Know, that sounds stupid."
"No! It's not stupid. Hon, you're just going through, everything in your mind."
"Bad part is, can't even talk about this, with my dad. Because I don't, wanna bring up bad memories with him; from his childhood." She takes a deep breath, "Hey, listen I'm going to get some sleep."
"Good. Get a lot of rest, I'll call you later."
"Yeah. Good Night!"
"Good Night!"
The Hotel
10:02 pm
Fletcher, felt guilt about leaving her alone. But, he had a feeling that Maya need some time alone for herself. Wondering, if that was a huge mistake, leaving her by herself. He need called; the Gotham City Police Department. Telling the person; that he needed to speak to Barbara Gordon. That it was very urgent, that it was about Maya. Barbara, answer the phone. "What can I do? For you Fletcher?" He is running a hand; through his hair. "Look, I was wondering, can we meet somewhere." He was waiting, for her to refuse him. "I'll tell you, what. Meet me at a local cafe. I'll see you, in 15 minutes." Knowing this was his only chance.
He was getting dressed very fast, before he could leave everyone was ready too. Before, he could say anything; Had says to him; "everyone is worried, about Maya. We're coming with you. So, there is no arguing with us."
Local Cafe
10:35 pm
Fletcher and the other ordered a drink, he was drinking his black coffee. He had a black shirt, black jacket and black baseball cap. He saw the door opened up. Notice, Barbara had entered the cafe. She saw Fletcher, and his whole team waiting for her. But, she sit across Fletcher. "I'm guessing, you never go anywhere without your team." He just shakes his head; "actually, we all wanted to be here." Jad, told her. "I see. Loyalty, is a good thing to have on a team." Barbara gave them a smile.
"Before, I tell you anything. I wanna know, the truth. Are you all doing, this cause you care about Maya? Or, because you feel guilty about the past?"
"I did feel guilty in the beginning, for how I treated her. But, I don't know, who was. Had no clue, of her real identity. Was, trying to find a young woman. Who don't existed. Meeting this real person; she very different from the other girl from three years ago."
"What about now?"
"She wasn't, what I was expecting. But, she very different from any women I meet." He takes a small slip of his coffee. "Yes! I do care about her." Everyone was nodding their heads; in a agreement.
"I'm happy to hear you, say that. Now, what was you needed."
"I was just, wanting to know. Why? Maya, can't talk to her own father. About her Grandparents."
"Was she afraid, to bring up bad memories."
"Yes! But, why?"
Barbara, was looking at her own cup of coffee. "What have you? Heard, about The Flying Grayson?!"
"That, it was accident."
"I heard same thing."
"Everyone, heard it was accident with the stunt."
Barbara, stares right at them, "it wasn't an accident, they were murdered."
The whole team; mouth drop open in complete shock.
"Have to make it, look like an accident. Acid was all over, the rope eating through it. A Mob Boss, had them killed. Because the circus owner, wouldn't pay him. So, he took the best act he had. Killing the Grayson; while their son was hanging upside down. He tried to reach his mother hands. He couldn't grab her in time. He was just fingertips away. Dick, had to watch both parents fall to their deaths. While he was hanging upside down."
Casey heartbroke for the first time, in her life. Had tears falling down her face. No one could, imagine, how a Maya Father felt. Losing his parents; at a young age. All cause some mafia man; don't get his money. He had to ruin everyone lives.
"How do you know him, so well?"
"Dick and I dated, when we were in college. We don't work out, that was my own fault of course. I had an affair with Bruce Wayne."
"Oh, Shit!"
"Is that why? Maya, don't meet her Grandfather before?"
"Yes!"
"Does Maya, know anything about this?"
"Some of it. But, Maya felt it was more then a falling out. That happened between them. She more right then she knows. She knew, I hurt her father badly. But, her mother; helped Dick in ways no one could or reach him ways I couldn't." She stands up and hands Fletcher, a data stick. "Here everything, you need to know." She walked out, and left them all there, thinking about everything they had heard about today.
