Adam sped off back home so he could wait for the dress to come. We get home and I go up to my room to watch tv. I decided to turn on the news and instantly I see the encounter between Bruce and I.

Fucking news they always catch on so god damn quickly. My door suddenly swings open to reveal my furious father, I was surprised it didn't fly off the hinges.

~~~Trigger Warning~~~

"You met with Bruce Wayne you slut! You have no manners nor regard for our family's standing! Mr. Wayne is coming tomorrow for our company's anniversary gathering. You are absolutely in need of therapy, forget what your mother says. I will harm you if I please."

I was pulled off my bed and almost dragged down the staircase. When reaching the basement I was thrown down with force-earning scrapes on both of my knees. My father got on top of me and begin to hit me. With each slap, the force increased.

"I have had enough of your freeloading the least you could do is help the company! You are worthless I never should have married your mother."

When John said that something in me snapped. It felt like electricity was coursing through my veins because it was. It was painful but possible to handle. The electric current reached my fingertips so I reached up and shocked him which forced him off of me.

~~~Trigger Warning Over~~~

I made a break for it and ran to Mr. Oslo's room. I didn't even care to knock because I wasn't sure how close my dad would be to me.

I barged in and closed the door behind me insuring to lock it. Adam stared at me like I was crazy for coming in without knocking.

I lifted my face and looked at him pleading, he rushed over and hid me in the back of his closet. He closed the door and a few seconds later there was heavy knocking on his door.

"How may I be of service to you Mr. Grey?" Even muffled I could still make out what the conversation was. "Where is my daughter Adam if I find out she has ran to you, I will cut your head off myself."

Mr. Oslo states he hasn't seen me since earlier today and gently shuts the door and locks it back. I hear Adam's footsteps get closer to the closet.

He opens it and helps me out, I instantly bring myself into his chest and start crying doing my best to not scream out. He rubs my back and holds me until I settle down.

"I wanted to wait until after the party but I think it's time." I look up at him confused about his statement but when he pulls a book on his shelf it all makes sense.

After pulling the book it revealed a secret staircase that led down. He motions for me to go down it so I did exactly that. When reaching the bottom I see a room with weapons and gadgets of all sorts.

I see plenty of male costumes on the wall but I see a dress that catches my eye. He notices me staring at it and speaks up about it, "It used to be my best friend's her name was Amanda but I called her Mandy. She had powers like you but she was born with hers, she moved here from Metropolis."

He looks down at the floor with a saddened expression on his face. "She moved back home after being hurt really bad, even with her abilities if she never left she would have died here in Gotham. If you want you could try the costume on." I smile gently and take a look at it.

I walk around the mannequin where the costume rested. The color was beautiful, but I wanted to know more. "Villain or Hero?" I ask looking Mr. Oslo in the eyes.

"We were villains, the life of crime was our everything. We got the chance to regain control over our lives. Yes, we killed and we stole many things."
