Her Knight In Armor [Batman X OC]

2- The Morning

I wake up to the sound of knocking at my door. I groggily respond for whoever was at my door to enter. Even though my eyes were closed when I felt the bed sink down I knew it was my mother.

I feel her push a strand of hair out of my face and kiss my forehead. Moments like this make me wish it was just me and mom. "Darling it's 1 pm, you sadly have therapy in thirty minutes. I would have woken you up earlier but I couldn't bear to break your sleep cycle."

I open my eyes to see my mother somewhat smiling in hopes to cheer me up and out of bed. I begin to sit up before stretching. "Now c'mon sleepy head I hate seeing you in trouble."

I quickly get up out of bed yawning while my mother leaves the room. I go into my closet and throw on a black shirt and some red sports leggings.

I walk down the hall and softly knock on Mr. Oslo's door. When the door gradually opens I see Mr. Oslo in an actual tuxedo today, this was weird since he usually would wear a vest by itself. Maybe today was special I thought.

"Ah, good afternoon Ms. Grey did you sleep well?" He raises an eyebrow and I respond with a yes. "Thank you for tucking me in last night and not allowing me to sleep in that god-awful outfit," I say chuckling at the end of my sentence.

He chuckles with me and looks down at his watch. "Ah speak of the devil I'm sorry to inform you but your father has requested you down in the basement for the um therapy." He looks at me with sad eyes as I tell him thanks.

I walk down to the basement passing the maid and the other butler. I let out a big sigh before pushing the door open. "Good afternoon, father," I say putting extra emphasis on father.

"Hi, Lily or should I call you Lilith? I hope you haven't outgrown your nickname yet dear please take a seat." He motions for me to sit down in the chair underneath the only light fixture.

I let out a nervous sigh and take a seat. "Give me your arm dear, it's time for your medicine." I slowly lay my arm on the armrest and close my eyes.

I honestly hated this part but at this point, I realized this would make me stronger against him. Maybe I could leave finally if I were stronger.

"Tada" I heard him say as I feel something sharp prick me then my father forces my eyes open and holds a mirror in front of my face.

I try to turn and look away because this was my least favorite part. His hand wrapped around my cheek to force me to look at myself. My body started to feel as if it was burning up from the inside out.

My cheeks were red and my eyes started to glow a bright light blue. I felt my muscles tighten and then I soon saw nothing but darkness.

~~~2 Hours Later~~~

"What have you done to her this time! She is sleeping longer than she should John!" I heard a faint voice say. As my eyes flutter open I see who was speaking.

"Well I wanted to try a new drug out, it will greatly improve her dexterity electric powers, and healing abilities. She will be the first superhuman to protect what we transport Jasmine." I saw my mother slap my father after he made that statement.

"The fact that you did all of this just because she wanted to leave home is ridiculous. She doesn't want this, she will hate you, John. If I didn't love you I would leave." I hear the clicking of my mother's heels as she walks away.

I close my eyes as my father's footsteps get louder. Maybe if I pretend I'm still asleep he won't continue with anything

"Ugh, I'm sorry but I must continue my work at a later time darling." He unbuckles the straps holding my arms down and picks me up. After being carried for what felt like forever I feel myself being lowered down back onto my bed and then I hear my door being closed.

I open my eyes and painfully roll over to press a button on the side of my nightstand.

I close my eyes and wait for Mr. Oslo to come in. I hear the door swing open but I was in too much pain to move let alone open my eyes. "Oh my God Ms. Lilith what has he done to you, I'll bring you something to help with this."

He rushes back out of the room and comes back with some sort of medicine in a vial. "I know you are in pain so here let me help."

He holds the vial closely and I drink from it. I tell him thank you and he sits down on my bed. "Ms. Grey I understand you aren't feeling alright but your mother has requested me to take you dress shopping."

I look at him and ask if I could sleep while I wait for the medicine to kick in. He nods and leaves the room.
