Disclaimer: I own nothing except for my OC Danika and any alterations to the original storyline plot her presence creates to various readers amusement everywhere across the globe.
Daughter Of Batman 2 Chapter 10
Danika and Ao end up trailing Talon and Damian all the way back to the Court of Owls headquarters deep underground in the sewers. Unlike what happened to Bruce getting infected by the poison laced in the sewer walls as a security measure Talon took Damian down a supposed safe route where it is safe for members to cross without feeling any effects.
Lucky for Danika neither of them noticed her presence as she followed them step by step.
Eventually, they're taken to that assembly hall where all the Court of Owl members are gathered together. To avoid detection Danika chooses a good hiding place at a concealed inside a shadowed zone so as not to be seen.
From here Danika witnesses everything as Talon introduces Damian to the Court of Owls. She watches and waits just as she's been taught. Danika seriously has to restrain an enraged scream when she sees Damian foolishly remove his mask and reveal his identity to the masses. The one rule that must never be broken and he just shattered it and by doing so divulged the identities of everyone else in the tight-knit family unit.
Danika's suspicions about Samantha are confirmed when the Grandmaster immediately recognizes Damian for who he is. With all the effort Bruce put into keeping the brother and sister pair hidden from the public no one should've been able to recognize him.
This proves that Samantha is not only a member of the Court of Owls but a leader.
Damian is quickly subdued and entrapped in bars for containment as Samantha quickly orders that Damian be put to death here and now to hurt Bruce and break his spirit straight to the heart. Danika's anger flares even more as Talon slips up and says right in front of Damian insinuating that the main reason why he recruited him in the first place was because he wanted her brother to take the man's place in the procedure to become like those "immortal warriors" they've been creating.
Danika feels vindicated that Talon's intentions matched the instincts she felt for him from the start. At the same time, Danika's sympathy goes out to her twin. Damian admired this guy a great deal enough to where he was willing to leave her, Bruce, and Dick behind.
Ao is growing restless, eager to jump in and help Damian and so is she. But Danika knows they must be smart about this as she cups a hand around Ao to keep him still. They're terribly outnumbered and she has no means of freeing Damian from his cage.
Danika doesn't have much time to contemplate.
She is soon left stunned when the decision is removed right out of her hands before her eyes.
Instead of striking Damian down Talon turns completely on the Court of Owls. He goes on a rampage striking members down left and right with none being successful in escaping as he smites them all with prejudice. Not even the Grandmaster escapes his wrath.
Danika watches in shock and terror, too frozen to move. A hand over her mouth to prevent herself from crying out.
It's all over in minutes.
Danika is preparing to go down and retrieve Damian as he's struggling to reach his utility belt when Talon reenters the vicinity. Talon knocks Damian out and carries him to the labs where the soldiers are kept in suspended animation.
Not long after Talon places Damian into one of the empty containment tanks her brother wakes up and he's not pleased about it.
Talon's intentions are made clear. That Damian will be safe here while he takes the army of undead soldiers to Wayne Manor and ridding Gotham City of Bruce.
Like hell.
Damian is struggling to break the glass of his containment chamber as it's steadily filling up with chemicals that would keep him there in suspended animation as Talon departs with his army.
Only when she's sure Talon is going does Danika make her move.
So preoccupied with what he's doing Damian fails to notice Ao clipping into an open compartment connecting the wires that make the tank function. Seconds later the liquid stops running.
Damian watches with wide eyes as Danika punches in the combination code that she watched Talon use and it soon opens.
Sitting up, Damian said "Danika?"
Holding out an inviting hand to him, Danika said "Let's go. There isn't much time."
Talon already has a massive head start on them. Hopefully, they'll be able to make it back in time.
Authors Note:
For those of you on fanfiction I'm sure you've been facing the many unwanted ads when you're reading a story. Well, yesterday, I finally had enough, and I got an adblocker app. It worked! No more ads on any level! The one I got is Adblock Pro: Safari Ad Blocker. It really works. Just follow the instruction video that it attached to it.
Heads up everyone there's someone on fanfiction you need to seriously watch out for. Early a couple of months ago after I woke up I was checking my email and I saw I had a new guest review on my A Dog's Purpose Is Strange Magic 2 sequel. I took a look at it and got a very big shock. Some random person I've never spoken to before on here or anywhere else in my life was basically threatening me. Intimidating and practically ordering me to write a threatening letter to someone on their behalf, telling to stay off of for life or else they and everyone else close to them would be killed, disgustingly telling them to kill themselves. And at the bottom of the message this crazy person wasn't done. Warning me that if I don't send the letter then they would kill me and for confirmation to email them to make absolutely sure I complied with their demands. Of course I did nothing of the sort. Instead of doing what they wanted I reported them to the website, sent copies of this deplorable guest review message to police officer cousins of mine so they could have it on file, and I went to a nearby police station and reported it.
When I spoke to the police officers and they checked everything on the message they saw, that while the address and names of business were accurate the people and their names were not. They agree it was more than likely a scam because of the email address on the bottom in order to perhaps get access to personal information or potentially hack my computer. Despite that I'm still very happy they took it seriously as I showed and told them everything. All the same I'm still very happy that I brought this to the attention of law enforcement. Even though the entire thing might be fake I'm still very happy to have brought this to the attention of those who can do something about it if it was legit in some way. This may have been a scam, but it's obvious these people are beyond irresponsible if they try to goad people into sending death threats to random strangers just to get access to info.
Be that as it may if this does unfortunately happen to you do not send any messages to the email addresses they put down and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you bring the message to the authorities immediately whether it is legit or not.
Because it's a guest review it might not be visible for a couple of days as it loads if it is sent to you. But when it does you should definitely pressing the report abuse button and send it to the email that leads to the support staff that is available.
Just a heads up to those of you who aren't aware of this yet, Email alerts for this website are now only active if Email opts is enabled in account settings.
I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
For those of you just starting out with my stuff there are other works on my profile that may catch your interest. I highly recommend you take a look as soon as the opportunity presents itself to you. Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.
Stay safe everyone. Especially with all of these crazy natural disasters occurring a lot lately due to global warming and climate change everywhere for sure. I swear it's like they're getting worse and worse all the time and it's like officials are simply just ignoring it or pretending it doesn't exist entirely just to go on with their daily lives. Especially those in multi-million dollar companies that rely on certain elements of our planet that we rely on to naturally keep us safe instead of adapting and finding new safer ways to keep in business. There are so many options out there where they can adapt, but they just refuse to see it because all they care about is money. Climate change is altering so much faster than anyone can really keep track of.
So, in light of all this, it is important to live life to the fullest as much as anyone can.
I know I am. ;) See you guys next time.
