Joka

Chapter 4

The bell rang as school was out for the day; Joka waited for her friends. Venus and R.J. met up with Joka at the gate of the school; they saw a limo figured it was waiting for Damian as normal. Gator ran up behind Joka, wrapping his arms around her spinning her around in his arms.

“Joka!” He called.

Joka got dizzy when he put her down; she tumbled as Venus and R.J. tried to catch her, she fell backwards onto Damian Wayne. He had caught her with his arms; looking up at him she blushed as he pushed her back up to her feet.

“Sorry Damian.” Joka apologized. He looked down at her not saying anything for a moment. Joka thought she did something really wrong, last person she wanted to get upset was a Wayne cause they were the reason why she could live the life she is now.

“I never asked, did you like your present?” Damian asked curiously.

Joka nodded her head; Gator frowned in jealousy, R.J. and Venus giggled as it was amusing to see Gator getting upset. They could see the limo waiting for Damian, turning her head she didn’t wait to keep Alfred waiting for him. The old man had been serving the Wayne family for a long time.

“Joka come on. We have that thing remember.” Gator laughed as he patted her on her back.

Damian pulled out a small envelope, giving to Joka. “There is a Halloween Gala at the end of the month. I don’t have anyone to go with, would you come with me. It would help show people you’re not like your father.” Damian said, he actually just wanted her to come with him as a friend.

“I would rather go cause you want me to go. Thanks, oh we are still on later for the arcade right?” Joka asked with a smile as she placed the envelope in his hands. “Go with someone you like.”

Joka walked away with her friends; Damian sighed as he held the envelope seeing that he had to approach this differently. Going with Alfred in the limo, he crawled into the back. Thinking about how to ask Joka again; he had Alfred worried as he wasn’t sure what to say.

“Did you ask someone to the Gala, sir?” Alfred asked curiously.

“Yeah, but she said I should ask someone I like.” Damian sighed, he checked the messages on his phone as he took a sip of his water. “But maybe I should have worded it better. Said it would show people that she isn’t like her dad.”

“Are you talking about miss Quinzel?” Alfred asked curiously.

“Yes, I asked her to come cause I wanted her to come with me.” Damian rubbed his temple, but paused when he saw the message from the justice league. It was something he didn’t expect since he was normally kept out of the loop about anything involving the league at times unless it was young justice. “Wait…Joka’s part of a new division of the young justice?”

“I thought you knew, Master Bruce has spoken to you at dinner about it many times.” Alfred told them, as they were heading to the batcave. “You have a training session with them today.”

“Them?”

“Yes, miss Quinzel’s friends. They are members as well.”

“What do they call themselves? League of regrets?” Damian smirked almost laughing.

“Those remarks are probably why she turned you down. You will never get a date master wayne with an attitude like that.” Alfred said, that made damian drop his smile. “The league has named them League of Redemption. Superman’s idea. So I suggest you get dressed.” Alfred said closing the window to block the view of him.
