I'm skipping the dinner scene because I really don't know what to write for it.
Setting: after dinner, everyone is heading back to their rooms.
Arthur's pov
Everyone is heading off to bed. Leon and Elyan are supporting Gwaine out of the room. Naturally, Gwaine had too much to drink. Jason was shaking his head at the knight's antics. Jason was just about to leave with his brother, who was carrying Abigail as she had fallen asleep. Merlin is still at the table, he knew that I wanted him here for the questioning.
"Jason, can you please stay, along with your elder brother? We have some questions that we would liked answered."
Jason looked at his brother. Dick sighed. "Alright, don't expect to get all of your questions answered tonight." He shifted the young girl in his arms. They came back to the table, while Merlin came over to sit next to me.
"Why did you really come to Camelot?" I began. "You had seven years to come after your village was raided, why now?"
Dick ran a hand though his hair. A few gray hairs are showing, this man is barely 30. 'How much weight dose he has on his shoulders?'
"I told you a partial truth. We are still searching for the raiders were. They kept pursuing us."
Jason clenched his hand around the table. "And you know nothing about them?" His voice is rising with his anger.
"Jason, please maybe-" Merlin began, but Jason held up his hand.
"Tim would have found out. Cass could easily spy on people, Babs would of figured out the -" Jason's kept rising, almost yelling.
"Jason." Dick's voice took on a cold edge. The man's goofy grin gone. 'It appears that he only lets his mask down when he is with his brother, and maybe a couple others.' "I said we didn't know who the raiders were, not who sent them. We figured that out after the second attack."
"Who raided your village?" Merlin asked.
Dick again shifted Abigail in his arms. Her head is now laying on her brother's shoulder, one arm around his waist. Her expression peaceful, yet she looks so familiar. Her long dark hair, the tannish skin, her body shape. 'She looks a lot like Ruby, their hair doesn't match neither do their eyes or skin. Everything else screams Ruby.' Dick ran his hand though his hair again. "Ras Al Gaul."
Several things happened at those words. Merlin cringed, I choked on my drink, Jason growled, and Abigail whimpered in her sleep. Dick rubbed her shoulder. "Shhh, he is not here."
"What on earth dose the Demon's head want with you?" Jason growled.
"You know some of the reasons Jay. Frist Bruce."
"Who is Bruce?" Merlin asked.
"Our father." Jason growled. He closed his eyes. "Talia was running from her father. She stopped in our village, we gave her sanctuary. Lets just she stayed long enough for Bruce and Talia to have some quality time together. After two months, her father came. My father had crossed the line in my opinion. He was willing to give up his new wife to Ras so our village would be protected. He also said some other things that I will never forgive him for. That's why I ran. I ran to escape him. Seven months later the quadtupiltes came."
Dick looked up at his brother. "So they really are Bruce's sons? That must be why Ras raided in the first place."
"Why else did he raid the village?" Jason pressed.
"A couple years after you left, I went in pursuit of Ras. I thought he caught Talia and you. I thought I could save you. I was his best solider for a year. Talia's sister had a daughter, Mara. I saw her as my sister. Around nine months later, I found Abigail."
"What do you mean? You found her? Where, when? "
"She was probably five or six. She was in a cave, chained, next to the pit."
"The pit?" I asked.
Jason closed his eyes, putting his head in his hands. "The Lazars pit. It.. it brings murdered people back to life. Talia used it on me. Resulting in the white in my hair."
"Who?" Dick asked.
"Joker himself." Dick cringed at his brother's words.
"Who would name himself Joker?" I asked.
"That man. He was/ is insane. His bandits caught me, then they killed me. Talia found me, she was still pregnant, drug me to the pit in the fortress, brought me back. Ras saw her, knew he would have grandkids to take up his legacy. That's why he continued to purse her."
Dick nodded. "I found her chained, beaten, whipped, and without proper eye sight. He had taken it, and replaced it with her seeing like a bat or owl. Using sounds to see. I managed to get out of their with Mara, for only four days. She had no name so I gave her a name. Abigail. We were recaptured, and for the next three months the three of us tried to escape. Mara.. Mara was killed. I barley managed to get Abigail out alive, then the next three months we traveled to the village." Dick put his head in his hand, breathing shakily. "I can't answer anything else tonight."
We all nod, and head for our chambers. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. .
Hi, this chapter is short because I was unsure what else to write. Please comment, I need some inspiration. I have a couple outlines for the next couple chapters, but I really need some input. Thanks.
