After school I was greet by Virgil. Which surprised me actually. Why would he know where to find me?

"Hey Virgil, what are you doing here?" He was leaning against the railing that ran down the stairs leading out of the school.

"Chillin', how about you?"

"I happen to go to school here genius." I said walking past him, continuing in the direction of mine and Roy's apartment. He followed. Yay.

"Uh, train station's that way." He pointed behind us. I stopped and faced him, narrowing my eyes.

"How do you know I took the train here?" He seemed so chill about meeting me in public. I was trying to act cool but I was so not happy about this.

"I was on the train with you." And instead of minding his own business he decided to stalk me. "I was here to see Jefferson Peirce and Batman called and asked me to check up on you."

"Oh, now he cares." I kept walking, slightly infuriated.

"You don't like him much do you?" I do like him. But I am my mother's daughter and I'm going to keep playing the angry teenager for a while longer. "I don't get you kids."

"What do you mean 'you kids'?" I asked walked into my apartment building.

"All the Batkids, why do you resent him so much?"

"I don't resent him it's just..." I paused trying to think of a way to say this. "You know I've killed people, right? If anyone else in the Batfamily killed someone, he'd go off at them. I got nothing. I should be happy that I got out of it but I'm worried. We barely spoke to each other, and when we did I went off at him before he could get the chance to yell at me. What if now he hates me so much he won't talk to me?"

"How many people has your mum killed? A lot right? Probably a lot more than you and you probably had better reasons most of the time. Batman still loves your mother like a daughter." But I bet my mum doesn't know he does. "Wouldn't it show that he cared when he sent me to check up on you every time I visited metropolis?"

"Then why can't he ever show it. He was never warm or loving or fatherly." I struggled with the lock, my emotions affecting my motor skills like a bitch. After a few failed attempts I just threw the keys at the floor. "Why couldn't I have parents? My mum was never there. My dad tried to ignore that I was his daughter just as much as I ignored he was my father. Now he's gone and I-"

I fell to the floor in front of the door holding my face in my palms. Failing to hold back my sobs. I flinched slightly when I felt Virgil embrace me but just let it happen and hugged him back. We say there for a few moments until I wiped away my tears and stood up.

"You tell anyone I cried and I'll stab you. I'm not joking." He chuckled and I went into the apartment.

"What's wrong with living here?" Bruce asked after I made my declaration.

"If you truly want me to be a part of that little team then I think I should be closer to them." He narrowed his eyes at me.

"You live with four of them here." I gave him a look which clearly said 'Batfamily doesn't count' and rolled his eyes. "Why can't you stay in one spot for once? First going to school in Metropolis at 4am this morning now this! What is so bad about this place."

"You!" Don't do it. You did it. Mila you fucked up. Well, can't make this any worse. "I can't stand to look at you- to have you look at me. You know that I've killed but I get no punishment, I don't get reprimanded, i just have to suffer as I wonder what you could possibly think of me! YELL AT ME! Tell me how angry you are! Let me know what you think of me for once!"

"I don't understand how you killed those men after you were brought up and trained to subdue NOT kill. I am infuriated at you. But I don't know what to do with you kids anymore. I thought if I punished you as soon as you came back you'd feel like I just want to push you away and I don't." I felt tears welling in my eyes. "I push you all away and I get you killed. I just want you to stay."

I walked right up to him, he towered above me. Before I could he brought me into a hug. For the first time ever.

"I'm not gonna leave you Bruce." I kept hugging him as I thought about how many hugs I've gotten lately. "So, um. Now what?"

"You can still go if you want to but you can come back whenever you want, even if just for dinners." I nodded semi-excitedly.

"I'll go pack."
