I think I'm going to take a small break from writing my stories, I'm starting to get writers' block again after writing so many chapters so fast. Don't worry, I'll still keep these stories of mine going, I'm just going to be taking a tiny break.
Anyways onto the reviews.
ThunderClaw03 chapter 28. Mar 4
Great job keep it up. The craziness of the bat family is about to go up several levels with what the boys are about to hear. I imagine there will be a shit ton of foul language involved. I feel sorry for whatever Dumbledore has done to the joker. I imagine that this might fix some hard feelings within the bat family.
I wonder how stupid Dumbledore and Molly think Adriane is to not have her house-elves have her gifts and letters scanned for things that would influence her by Gringott's bank. Adriane's plans to have the loans in the wizarding world paired back are going to make a lot of rich people a lot poorer. Lol, the poor bastard has to pay the initial amount of the loan plus however many years of interest. This could easily bankrupt some people. They should have paid the loans back as quickly as possible instead of waiting for the loan to accumulate decades or centuries of interest. The interest allowed could bankrupt some of the businesses in the magical world.
Especially the Crooked and underhanded ones. Just imagine how many deadly items are in the dark alley to know most if not all shops in that alley MUST BE shut down. Update when you can
Me: Hehehe, Yeah they should have paid back their loans, even if they thought the family had died out. Several families are going to be soooo broke!
ArashiNokitsune chapter 27. Mar 6
in terms of reactions, I know Jason will really want to shoot something but I am not entirely sure about Tim or Dick my best guess would be going to a sparring room and just practice... and vent any form of oncoming anger
Me: Yeah they're upset for sure. It's only Adriane's first year so they're not as upset as they will be later.
And that's all for now, onto the story.
With the three older Bat brothers
Dick plugged the USB into his laptop and sat on his desk chair to listen. Tim was sitting on a small couch he had in his room and Jason was lying back on his bed, clearly bored.
Jason snorted at someone mistaking Superman for Bruce Wayne while Tim started thinking of ways to fix that problem. Dick was amused when thinking about what Bruce's reaction was.
Jason sat up in shock when hearing who Adriane's birth parents were, he shared a horrified look with Tim and Dick when hearing how someone was strong enough to destroy an entire planet so easily.
Tim whistled at how strong Adriane had the potential to become, "Damn, she's a little powerhouse isn't she?" Dick looked over to Jason who had been the one to speak and nodded in agreement.
Jason growled as they listened to how Adriane lost her adoptive parents while Dick listened sadly, he could understand what it felt like to lose your parents but poor Adriane lost two sets of parents while still only being a baby.
Tim winced when hearing how Adriane's aunt and Uncle treated her, Jason and Dick were a bit more focused on the old guy that seemed hell-bent on controlling Adriane's life. Going so far as to change her gender and name.
Jason snorted at Adriane's descriptions for each Hogwarts house. He had a feeling he might like this kid.
The three boys listened in horror at how their cousin, their untrained cousin, as a matter of fact, took on a full-grown mountain troll and won.
"What kind of school keeps a cerburus in one of it's class rooms!" Tim cried out when hearing of Adriane finding the three-headed dog in her school.
"Clearly one with an insane Princible!" Jason replied while fingering his gun.
"I think they call them Headmasters and Headmistresses over there." Dick corrected Jason numbly.
Jason just huffed in response. "You know what I meant."
"Shh we need to finish this recording." Tim walked over and rewinds the recording a little to replay what they had missed.
The Bat brothers listened in horror to the rest of Adriane's first year at Hogwarts. They all vowed that they would find a way to make the person who allowed this to happen to their cousin pay. Bats looked after their own after all.
Dick turned his laptop off when the recording was done and the three boys just sat in silence as they came to terms with what happened.
With Damien.
Damien eyed the USB in his hand with a frown. The last recording he listened to was very worrying, he hopped this one would be at least a bit better.
Plugging it in he leaned against the wall to listen.
Right away he was grumbling softly, what the hell was a house-elf and why was it trying to keep Adriane away from school? His eyes narrowed when he heard how her relatives had reacted to learning that she couldn't do magic outside of school. He wondered how they would like it if someone treated them the way they treated his cousin.
Damien raised an eyebrow when hearing that Adriane had flown in a flying car to get to school. He wondered what that would be like. Damien was curious about if he could get his dad to redo the batmobile so it could fly.
Damien frowned when hearing how yet another Halloween was ruined for Adriane. He hoped that she wouldn't be in the middle of a mess her teachers should be fixing this time.
His eyes furrowed when he heard of the rough bludger before snorting when she gagged Clark. He would have loved to see that.
Damien tossed a knife into a training dummies head with a growl when he heard why Adriane didn't like growling. Who could be so stupid as to let a dog almost tear a child's leg off? Why were social services ever called? Damien narrowed his eyes, he had a small suspicion that it was the fault of the old man.
He must have done something, used magic on some people, to make it so no one would look too closely at Adriane's home life and how her relatives treated her.
He wished he could get his hands on them, both the old bastard and the Dursleys. He smirked when getting an idea, he could ruin their reputations.
Damien would deny it but his jaw dropped when hearing how that useless professor vanished his cousin's bones. What the hell? How had he ever been hired! Even schools in gothem had better teachers than that.
He shook his head in disbelief when hearing people start thinking Adriane was behind everything that was going on, just because she could speak to snakes. That was a useful power, not a sign that someone was evil for Pete's sake.
He groaned when hearing that the only reason people stopped believing his cousin was behind everything was that one of her best friends had been petrified.
He listened in disbelief and a lot of horror to the rest of Adriane's second year. She fought a basilisk? She was bit by one? Adriane had only survived through sheer luck.
He silently hoped that his grandfather and mother never found out about being able to split your soul and put it in something to keep you from dying.
Damien's finger twitched with the need to grab a sword and shove it through Adriane's headmaster's chest and watch him bleed out.
He shook his head when hearing that Adriane's godfather was never given a trial, even in gothem you needed to have a trial for first offenders at least.
Damien felt awful when hearing that Adriane remembered Lily's final moment's thanks to those monsters.
He was very tempted to see if there was a curse on Adriane's family lines, there was no other reason than something bad and scary always happened to her on Halloween.
He froze and paled when hearing that those weird monsters could suck out a person's soul. He was furious that they tried to suck out Adriane's soul, if it wasn't for time travel, which was a thing now apparently, she would be without a soul.
Damien waited for the recording to finish before he started attacking the dummies in the room.
With Bruce
Bruce wasn't sure if he really wanted to hear this last recording, he knew that if he wanted to understand Adriane then he needed to listen to it so he decided to suck up his apprehensiveness.
Plugging it in he sat back to listen, hoping this would be better than the other recordings.
Right away he was worried when hearing of the attack at the world cup thing for the sport Adriane played. He relaxed slightly when hearing no one had been hurt, at least no one in her group.
He groaned and rubbed his face when hearing the drawing of names for the tournament that Adriane's school was hosting was going to be on Halloween. He only sighed when hearing her name came out of the Goblet before frowning when hearing that everyone but a handful of people turned on her for it.
Bruce listened to Adriane as she explained how she was now of age and about her Inheritance test. He furrowed his eyebrows when he heard about all the blocks on her, it made sense that her special abilities from her birth parents would be blocked but he had a feeling that it wasn't just those things that were blocked.
He growled when hearing about those marriage contracts and only relaxed when Adriane explained that they weren't legal and couldn't be enforced now that she was of age and could declare that they weren't legal.
He narrowed his eyes when he heard Adriane explain about Horcruxes and how they might have affected Petunia and her husband, along with those hatred potions. He would need to see about hiring these Goblins to check and see if they had been charmed or enchanted as well.
It wouldn't excuse everything but it might make it easier to swallow that his cousin could abuse her sisters child.
Bruce blinked when hearing about her dream. That sounded interesting and he wondered how the dream let her know things that there was no chance she would have known otherwise. He would have to mention this to one of the magical league members, maybe Wonder woman would know.
She was old enough to have heard something like it and if she didn't know anything he would ask someone else.
Bruce made a mental note to ask about these time chambers, it would make training so much easier if they had more time to do so.
He sighed but agreed that it was much too soon to let Dumbeldore know that Adriane was free. Even him suspecting that Adriane knew would be worrying.
He thought that it was good that Adriane bought that newspaper since there was no way she could sue them without letting someone know that something was going on with her.
He froze in his seat and leaned forward as he listened to Adriane explain how she had to go up against a dragon for the first task and live. He was furious with the people who set up the tasks.
Who sent children to go fight nesting mother dragons? Adriane was only 14 and the other champions were only 17! What the hell was wrong with all of those people? Sure Bruce might fight crime with literal 10-year-olds but at least he trained them up and made sure they were as safe as he could make them be while fighting thugs like the Joker.
Oh, shit the Joker. How was he going to explain to Jason that the Joker was technically family? He was going to flip, Bruce just hoped that he didn't start hating Adriane for who her Uncle was.
Not to mention that Dick and Tim were going to freak out too. He knew that Damien had taken a peek at the DNA test results he did on Adriane, he didn't mind. He had left the results up on purpose after all.
With Alfred
Alfred sat in his room staring at the ring that young Adriane had sent him. He had no clue how she had known how close he and her mother had been but he supposed Adriane might have read it in Lily's diary.
Silently getting up, Alfred walked to his closet and dug through the things he had hidden in the back. Finally, he found what he was looking for and he silently sat back on his bed and looked at the unassuming cardboard box in his hands.
He opened it carefully and looked at what was inside. Inside the box was several pictures of Lily and Bruce together the rare times they managed to meet in person. There were also several pictures of Lily and a newly adopted little girl with bright green eyes. Alfred has been the only one that Lily had told about the little girl having a tail.
Lily and her husband had used a charm to hide the tail from anyone who wasn't told about it. They didn't want to cut the tail off, they had no clue how that would affect their new daughter but they also didn't want her to be considered nothing more than a creature like werewolves and the like were.
He silently wondered if Adriane would like copies of these pictures of her mom and cousin together.
So tell me what you think in a review, you just might see the answer to your questions in the next chapter!
