Her Knight In Armor [Batman X OC]

1- The Perfect Family

"Honey pass your mother the pepper please." My father said refusing to make eye contact with me. I pass my mother the pepper quickly out of fear of getting more 'therapy'.

"Thank you, sweetie." My mother smiles at me gently with sadness in her eyes. I look back down at my plate and stare at what was in front of me. Steak with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Don't get me wrong I like it, I just can't eat this. Not after my 'therapy' session earlier. I proceed to remove the napkin from my lap and lay it on the table as I stand up.
~~~Trigger Warning~~~

When I go to turn and walk to my room I felt my arm being violently tugged at. I look up and see my father staring at me with his rage-filled eyes. I instantly freeze in place only to feel a hand meeting my cheek. I wince at the pain I felt coming off of my now throbbing cheek. I start to feel my wrath build up inside of me.

I started to feel pulses of electricity surge through my fingertips. I immediately get slapped again, this time with enough force to get brought down to the floor.

"Don't you ever think about shocking me ever again little missy! That was your last mistake! Every single day this week you have attempted to leave from this dinner table, I don't care how cold your food becomes you will fucking finish it. Am I understood?"

I nod my head quickly and continue to sit there on the floor as I feel a tear run down my face. I hear my father tell my mother to leave me there on the floor as they move back to their bedroom.

~~~Trigger Warning Over~~~

I slowly stand back up with the help of Mr. Oslo my personal Butler from back in Scotland.

Mr. Oslo was always there for me when these sorts of things would happen. I was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. My father is from New York while my mother was from Virginia.

When starting up their Security Company, Grey Security Co. they set up an office in Aberdeen which led them to become the second richest family that currently resides in Gotham City.

I despise my parents so much. My mother simply for letting it happen and my father for making this all happen. When I turned 18 my father decided to use me for his experiments.

He aimed to make a variety of superhumans to protect the company's employees when moving money and weapons that came from banks and military bases. He used me as his test subject as soon as he heard I wanted to go back to Aberdeen to further my education.

"I'm so sorry Ms. Lilith, here let me wipe your lip" I feel a cloth gently run across the corner of my lip. "If you truly don't want to eat this I can throw it out and bring you something else in secret." Mr. Oslo states motioning to the dinner plate on the table.

"I would prefer anything over that right now Adam," I say looking down at the floor only to feel his hand gently lifting my chin so he could stare into my eyes.

"I will get you out of this Ms. Lilith, tomorrow if Master Grey doesn't take you into the therapy room I would like to show you something." I smile and tell him thank you.

"Off I go to bring you something else to eat, go and head off to your bedroom." I walk up the stairs and go into my bedroom. I ball up my fists and aim at a nearby lamp on my work desk. I hear the bulb shatter from me hurling a ball of electricity towards it.

This was my new way of screaming, my new way of taking out my anger. I hated it but it felt better than screaming, my father was turning me into a monster.

I hear a light knock on my door so I rush to open it and see Mr. Oslo standing there with a plate of fries next to a few chicken tenders. "Your comfort food Ms.Grey, also may I come in, please."

I accept the plate of food and motion for him to come in while I set the plate down nearby. His eyes dart towards my broken lamp. I hear him sigh then let out a small chuckle. "Would you like me to clean this up before sunrise, we have an extra lamp to replace this as well."

I nod for him to replace it when he got the chance tonight. I pat beside me on the Ottoman as I start up Netflix. He stares at me for a moment wondering if he should sit. He grabs my plate and hands it to me before sitting next to me.

"Don't let your food get cold Ms.Lilith" I hear him say as I finally select a show to watch. When I finish my food I place it on my desk and rest my head on his shoulder. I could tell he was shocked at first since he tensed up.

I start to feel my eyelids get heavy as I struggle to pay full attention to the show. I drift off into sleep after another day of pain.
