"I-I, I didn't mean to. I thought it was another man-bat!" Damian mumbled while his mother just smirked evilly.
"It doesn't matter Damian I said no KILLING!" Batman shouted as he lowered me to the floor.
"Just shut up and take it out you idiots!" I screamed out in pain. Damian quickly gripped the sword, pulling it out as swiftly as he had put it in.
"What are you doing, she'll bleed out!" Batman shouted at him.
Please heal, quickly if you'd be so kind. I laid there, slightly writhing in pain as I swatted away Bruce's attempts to lift me up.
Damian was shouting at him only to get scolded by Bruce. I just waited, unable to do anything else in this much pain. Then it left. I let my hands run over the sealed skin, covered in blood just to prove there once was a wound.
"I told you she'd be fine!" Damian yelled at him. I shot up and looked around. Talia was gone. The ship was too damaged. We have to leave. I looked down at the boom tube sitting about five meters away and scurried towards it.
"Take us to my mum." I ordered as I reached Damian and Bruce again. We fell through the metal floor, landing on the sandy beach of the nearby island.
"What the hell happened?! Why are you covered in blood?!" Mum screamed once she saw me.
"Blame Bruce's son!" She scowled at him then looked to Bruce.
"Why did you tell Mila I was dead?" I began walking away to let them discuss it when Bruce grabbed my arm.
"You can heal now!" I rolled my eyes. What was so bad about my not advertising it. I don't want to give people an excuse to hurt me, just because I can heal.
"Ever since I went to hospital. I remember a man, with a pink liquid in a syringe. That's all." Bruce looked to Damian.
"And you knew this?"
"Only that she could heal from small cuts and broken bones. We weren't really trying to test her limits. But apparently fatal stab wounds can heal too." The infamous Bat-scowl was his only reply.
"Bruce, you told my daughter I was dead. If I wanted you to do that I would have told you to! You didn't even make it to the apartment in time to stop one of Talia's men from kidnapping her sister. It was a great decision making you their guardian! Dick would've been better off raising them!" Damian and I had thought it best to just stand back and watch.
"Maybe if you had told me there were suppose to be two babies there then I'd know to look for two! I never knew she had a sister!" Bruce yelled back at her and she pulled out her handgun pointing it right at his head.
"Don't blame this on me! I trusted you to take care of them! Instead you only take one home, falsely tell her I'm dead and somehow manage to get her drugged with some pink stuff that gives her healing powers. Great fucking job!" She turned to me and took the boom tube. "Take me and my daughter home please."
When we fell through the sand we landed on the wooden floor of a large cabin of what looked to be a snowy mountain area.
"From now on you're staying with me and you're going to help find your sister." I smiled looking up at her. She just threatened Bruce with a gun, knowing exactly how skilled he is. My mum's great.
"Did you plan on taking me anyway?" I asked as she showed me to a room that looked all ready and set up for me with a set of clothes on the bed.
"I figured that you were old enough to take care of yourself up here while I do my business with the League. There's a village not too far from here where you can visit during the day. We can train together if you'd like. I just though it was time I had my daughters with me." I took notice of the direction she pointed to when referring to the village before looking back at her as she looked to the floor. "I train this girl who keeps reminding me that I have two daughters her age. It just made the pain worse."
"Eww. You're not going all mushy and sentimental on me are you. I can handle a little but don't go overboard." She smiled at my response.
"Thank god you stopped me." She dressed herself in a thick hooded jacket as she headed towards the door. "Talia has an assignment for me, I'll be back. Later."
She shut the door behind her and I just stood there awkwardly. She better have food, I'm starving. I walked into the kitchen checking all the cupboards. No food, what kind of a house is this. I miss Pennyworth. He would cook me something. It wasn't too late, I mean the sun was only just going down. Guess that village sounds like a good idea.
I found a warm jacket and made my way out into the snowy area outside, trudging along in the deep snow as I made my way to the village.
One things for sure; my mother has a weird way of describing not far. by the time I made it to the outskirts of the village it was well past sunset and the darkness was setting in well.
"It's a little late for children to be outside, is it not?" A tall blonde woman with a Russian accent asked.
"I'm fine miss, just here looking for some food." I answered confidently. I haven't really been a child for a while. Just young. I don't feel like a child.
"Well come inside, I've got soup." I was about to accept when a man interrupted our conversation.
"She's fine Anna. She's with me." With you? I don't even know who you are mate. I couldn't see many details in his features but I could definitely see his red hair showing through. Anna, as he called her, grunted as she was obviously annoyed by him. He walked right up to me as she left.
"You're Jace's brat, huh? Which one?" I just looked at him sceptically and he almost chuckled. "I'm a friend of hers."
"So have you been sleeping with her?" His eyes widened in shock.
"I'm not talking about this with you, you're like ten!" I'm just gonna take that as a yes.
"Look, I came up here for food. If you don't have any then go away." He smiled, obviously amused at the attitude that someone so small could have.
"As a matter of fact I do, but you won't get any." That's what he thinks.
"Why not?"
"Because you're a spoilt brat, how about you try saying please." How about you're banging my mum, give me damn some food.
"Why don't you make me, Harper." He widened his eyes at me. I was raised by a detective, of course I'd figure out who he was.
"You know who I am, how?" What is he, an idiot?
"It's on your name badge." I stated just to see if he'd look down at the nonexistent name badge. He didn't, so at least he's not that stupid. "I'm the daughter of Red Hood and Nightwing, and I was also raised by Batman. On what earth would I not know who you were?"
"Good point, so which of her kids are you?" I crossed my arms and looked away, acting stubborn. He realised what I was trying to do and sighed heavily. "Fine I'll get you some food. Come inside."
"It's Mila. I've never met Kylie." He raised an eyebrow at me as he lead me in.
"But I thought Jace left both of you with Bats." More like she left me in an empty apartment and told Bruce where to go, but okay.
"Yeah well Kylie got kidnapped before Batman got to us. So the closest thing I had to a sister was Tim." He snickered at my last comment. "So what was so bad about that Anna chick out there."
"She's a bit strange. Since she moved here a few kids have gone missing. They've been rumoured to have fallen in some tragic accident but an accident is once or twice, not five." So stay away from the Russian blonde lady. Got it.
"I should probably call Jace and let her know you're here." I hope she's not like Bruce. He'd kill me for just wandering off at this time.
"So why doesn't my mum just leave the League? They obviously are just gonna go behind her back and kidnap her kids anyway." I asked as he handed me a packet of chips. He hadn't picked up the phone yet, good, I don't want him to.
"She's training a girl who they'll just kill if she stops. They don't see any potential in her but she does." Mum spoke of her, I don't think its potential she sees. It's Kylie and I.
"Maybe she should just take her away from the League too." I'm guessing it's probably not that simple but it should be.
"Maybe you should tell her that. Maybe you, Kayla and your mum could run away to Blüdhaven and live happily ever after." I felt like he was mocking me. No, I know he was mocking me. Shit head.
"Bite me red riding hood." he laughed at my response so I took the large packet of chips with me as I walked towards the front door. "See you later Roy."
I walked back out into the snow and headed back towards mum's cabin. It's a good thing I love cold weather or I'd be hating this right now.
Once I made it to the cabin someone was already inside. Expecting it just to be mum I walked in casually, only I found a young blonde woman instead.
"Mind telling me what you're doing here Anna?" I ground out trying to intimidate her in some way. She turned and smiled at me.
"Oh Mila, don't be like zat." How the hell does she know my name?! "My associates say you recovered remarkably vell considering zee injuries you sustained last veek. Guess somezing helped you out."
"So I get that you know my name and about my miraculous healing abilities but how and why have you been spying on me?" She merely half smiled.
"You're velcome." She stated before walking past me out the door. Definitely don't like the creepy Russian lady. Wait what did she say? That's what that man said. The one with a stitched up mouth. It's seems more comes back to me as time goes by.
