 What do you think about a little trip to the past ?

Not a sound. It was so calming. My whole body felt relaxed. And my mind was travelling in sweet memories. Her voice whispering praised into my ears. Her hands brushing my hair. The warmth of her skin when she hugged me. She was hugging me after I had cried from exhaustion. Training was so difficult and I was so young. I wanted to look up to see her face, her smile, her eyes. But I didn't because I knew that I would find nothing. Time was cruel. I couldn't remember her face. 

My lungs began to burn so I broke the surface of the water of the bathtub. The noises of the streets aggressively hit me. My muscles tensed. I went out of the tub and dried my body and hair before putting on some clothes. I walked out of the bathroom barefoot and went to eat something in the kitchen. B21 had come in the morning to deliver some dishes. I picked a box out of the refrigerator and looked inside; vegetarian fried spring rolls. It would do. While re-heating them, I heard my phone ringing.

I picked up, straightening my posture as if the caller could see me.

"I'm disappointed in you X1." a voice coldly said. "I've been informed that you let a witness."

"An unimportant Rank A." I responded knowing well enough that I had no good argument.

"A witness! Are you becoming soft Y/n?" venom in their tone.

I licked my lower lip.

"Of course not." I said as calm as possible. "It was a side mission. I haven't forgotten why you have send me here for, I haven't forgotten my main mission. I used the Rank A to deliver a message to Batman and Robin as you asked. Letting him live could be a useful element in the future, if I need to be a bit more ... persuasive."

A moment of silence passed.

"Talia, you have known me since I'm a baby and yet you thought I was soft by letting this Rank A alive. What Batman and Robin would think about it?" I added with a small smirk.

I heard a breathless chuckle at the other side of the line.

"Oh Y/n, you truly are a master of manipulation." she said, simpering. "Okay then. But don't forget who is Robin."

"Yes ma'am."

"Good. Make me proud Y/n." Then she hung up.

I let out a sigh and went back to my vegetarian fried spring rolls.

The next morning I went to Gotham University wearing a curly black hair wig, brown contact lenses, small and round glasses. I was wearing casual clothes and had swung on my shoulder a backpack. B21 had found me Damian's schedule at the university. It wasn't really part of the plan. But since I had arrived at Gotham, I hadn't seen him at all, except for pictures. I wanted to see by myself how he had turned out to be. I wanted to see him after all that time.

I walked inside the Science building and followed a group of students to an auditorium where a biology class was about to start. Funnily enough, the subject of the day was about cells and their capacities to mutate. I spotted Damian almost immediately. He was standing next to his sit, talking to two of his friends. I went to sit in the back and set up my stuff to make it like I was going to take note. The class was two-hour long, more than enough to watch him.
