Work Text:
“Red please don’t start. We need him” I tell him
“Why do we need him? Just let me kill him and I’ll be happy to help here.” He yelled at me.
“Red, she's right he’s not against us today he is going to be with us.” I heard Bluebird tell him.
“He is the only one that can bring him out of hiding so we can save him. Hell Selena nor Sup’s can’t do that only him.” I told him. “I was the one that made this call. If you don’t like it then leave.”
I walk away from the group. It’s been a month since B man went missing and the killing started to come out more and more. I noticed a pattern to the kills and figured out that it was him. We didn’t want to believe it but it was true. I know that he is following me right behind. I go to my room and throw off my mask.
“I don’t get why you had to bring in that fucking clown.” He yelled at me more.
“You think I care if I did. I didn’t want to. I had to do what I thought was best. Dick, Tim, the blood son didn’t want to either but what choice did we have. We need to save him, Jay.” I yelled back at him. I knew that I had tears coming down already.
“I shouldn’t have brought you here in the first place just for you to be part of his bats.” He yelled more.
“He didn’t know. After you saved me and brought me here. I never felt so free. I decided to join the nightlife on my own because of you. Not him I didn’t know until about two years later when I missed one night.” I told him, Angrily.
“What do you mean? I thought you would join him.” He asked me.
“No, I was on the ground getting my own ass kicked because I thought I could do it. I found out that he knew that I was going out and decided that once a day of the week to a month he would watch me from a distance to see if I was doing okay. He picked that day to watch me if he didn't. I would have been dead. He saved me from dying. Okay Jay that’s how I figured out. He never asked me to join him. I did my own thing and I was allowed to use that Batcave when needed.” I told him.
“We need Bruce back, Jason. We’re not the same without him, he’s our father one way or another.” I started to cry more. I felt arms around me holding me in place.
“I, I never wanted you to be part of this. I thought it was a better choice to bring you to him after what happened. But I don’t think even if I didn’t you still would have been doing what you are doing now.” He tells me.
“If you didn’t I would have been dead from that one night, Jay. I almost die twice. You save me and so did he.” I cried to him.
“My Angel I won’t leave you again. But the main question is when we find Bruce and save him what are we going to do with the clown.” Jay asked me.
“I was hoping that I get to kill him. And have Bruce think he did it.” I said quietly.
“Really, why do you get to kill him and not me?” He asks pulling away from the hug.
“Well remember that I only know who my mother was?” I said, “Bruce helped me get a start on finding my father. Umm, I found him.”
Jay just look at me and started to shake his no in disbelief but I started to nod yes. Knowing what he does now. I wish I was lying about who my father was.
“Okay that’s fair but I get first shot then Tim and he’s all yours. Let’s head back okay we have work to do.” Jason told me. I decided to let my heart lead the idea I had right then and there cause we may never know what could happen.
“Hey, Jason waits a minute,” I called to him. Grabbing his face and kissing him. Knowing that he started to kiss me back. “Sorry been wanting to do that to you for a while now.”
“Don’t be sorry Angel. I’ll let you kiss me anytime you want.” He replied to me, kissing me again. The kiss feels like home to me. The next thing I know was Jason cussing out the guy after hearing that they place a bet on us.
“Misstress Napier. I do hope your plan works and bring home Master Bruce.” Alfred tells me as we watch the boys fight each other.
“I hope so too, Alfred.” I turn more to the guys putting my mask back on. “Okay, Birds Let’s Bring The Bat Home.”
“Mom, Mom can we go see grandpa, please?” I heard my son called out.
“Yes, we can let go. Don’t forget to wear the shirt. I want to see how long until your father or uncles read the shirt.” I replied to him. It’s been a few years since it happen. We lost people we care about. But in the end, there was nothing else to do. We left the house and head to the graveyard we have. We passed Mathra and Thomas gravestones, I placed flowers there for respect since they are my grandparents.
I could see Jason’s gravestone still here. And I could tell one of the guys put a zombie coming out of the grave again. Why we still have it, I don’t know. Jason likes it. We got to the grave he wanted to go to.
“Here are some flowers, go ahead and place them on the gravestone,” I told him. I see Jason coming up to us.
“I thought I find you two here. Visiting the grave of the clown again I see.” He tells me as he kisses my cheek.
“He likes to visit him. We can’t stop him from visiting the grave. I saw Harley come by once or twice with Lucy. And he does know what he use to do and he doesn’t care at all to hate him.” I told him. We tell him the history of my father and he doesn’t really care much about it.
“You’re right. Hayden comes here, Alfred made cookies let’s go before your.” Jason stops talking for a moment and looks at me. “Your joking right? You are! Oh my gosh, Angel. Does anyone else know yet?”
“No, not yet. You’re the second to know. Hayden was first to find out.” I told him with tears in my eyes.
“Hey, dad. Do you like my new shirt. Mom got it for me after she went to the doctor yesterday.” Hayden tells him.
“Yes I do bud, do you want a sister or a brother?” Jason asks him.
“A sister so I can protect her from bad guys like grandpa J. Nobody can be near her at all.” He says. I can’t believe he said that. I look at Jason for his reaction and he was in a tear.
“Okay but no joining your uncle Damian until you are at least 13 maybe 12 if you are good on training,” I told him. “Let us go and find the others and Grandpa Bruce so they can see the shirt.” We left the graveyard and went inside. It was something to celebrate with Hayden’s shirt.
