Wayne II

17.

I hear quiet voice quietly screaming at each other. My head is throbbing. I slowly opened my eyes to see my uncle kal and my aunt diana arguing.
I look forward to see My dad,my mom and joker standing by the door silently watching them argue.
I look so my right and saw my aunt Lois. Her eyes connected with mine and a loud shaking sigh came out of her.
"Honey oh my God- will you shut up!" She screamed at my aunt and uncle. My head winced at her scream. I let out a painful groan. "Sorry I'm sorry." She said.
"How are you feeling ? Go get the rest." My aunt Lois tells my dad. He nods and makes his way out the room.
"I had a weird dream." I let out a dry cough. My aunt Lois grabs a water bottle and holds it up to my mouth so I can drink some of it. I silently thank her. "I just want to see Damian." I smiled. I noticed they all stiffened up and looked at one another. My dad entered the room with Barry and the rest of my uncles.
They all looked at each other uncomfortably.
"Where's Damian?" I asked.
They all stiffened even more if that's possible. They all look at my uncle Arthur.
My uncle Arthur looks taken back.
"Pussies." He mumbled. I scrunched my eyebrows.
"What was your dream about Quinny?" My aunt diana asks.
"It was weird.. it was about Damian. That's why I want to see him I want to tell him about it. I always told him about my dreams, even the nightmares. It's our thing." I smiled. My uncle Arthur steps closer to me looking a little scared that usual. He looks around making eye contact with everyone.
"Honey. Damian was killed two days ago." I felt my body run cold. Like if someone have turned the AC all the way up. I look over at everyone. I let out a laugh followed by a snort.
"Stop messing around with me. Bring him in this isn't funny." I look over at my uncle kal. They all looked terrified at how quickly my expressions changed.
"You wouldn't lie to me right. Tell me they're playing some kind of sick game on me." He looks down and lets out a tear. That's when I knew they weren't lying. They weren't playing a sick game. I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. Tears start streaming down my face. I sat up and that's when I noticed I was handcuffed to a hospital bed, the handcuffs are power dampeners. I looked at everyone in disbelief.
"You handcuffed me?" My voice cracked I felt betrayed in many ways.
"We didn't want you to do something stupid." I tried to use my magic to release myself but I couldn't.
"They stop you from using your magic. From hurting yourself ... and someone else."  I decided to test something out.
"Stop fucking with me." I screamed. They all took a step back from me. My face softened up.
"You actually think I'll hurt you?" My voice betrayed me by breaking once again.
"Daddy?" My dad looked at me with sad puppy eyes. Trying to fight back tears. He looked down to the floor to avoid eye contact.
"Just kill me." I broke down. The anger going through my body. I looked Joker. "Kill me please." I begged. "I would give my life if it would mean to bring him back. He didn't deserve to die. That should have been me." I looked at my reflection in the window and saw my eyes were glowing blue.
"Damian was the only good thing in my life. The only thing that seperated me from this life this cruel reality.He was my safe place ." My voice broke. I let out a cry. My heart felt so weak, broken actually. I felt all of their eyes on me. Not knowing what to do.I look up at everyone with a straight face. Tears still running down my face.
"Knock me out." I blurt out. "Kill me." Everyone looks at me as if I were crazy." Sedate me I don't care I don't want to feel. I-I don't want to feel anything. If I feel I'll kill and I don't want to kill because Damian wouldn't want me to kill anyone. He wouldn't want me to ruin my life like that. He would be so disappointed." I take a deep breath and place my hands in my face and start rubbing." Do you know who killed him?" I look at my mom. She gave me a look and nodded. Everyone looked at her confused.
"Who was it." I said getting extremely mad by the second.
"There's word around our block." Block meaning around all the bad guys in Gotham city. "We don't know if it's true but they said it's Talia Al Ghul." I've heard that name before. She is the daughter as a notorious Ra's al Ghul. I see my dad's face go white. I know this story thanks to my uncle kal. My dad left Ra's al ghul to die. He could have saved him but he didn't. Talia is out for revenge for her father. He took it out on my husband. It doesn't make sense. How did she get in there.
"Word is that she's closer than we think. She blends in. She studies. Then she strikes."
"Why Damian? He has nothing to do with none of this. Why not kill me if she was trying to get revenge on my dad why not kill his only daughter."
"Damian was a easy target I suppose. He was open. He kind. Kind to everyone not just his close family or wife's family. He was the easy target to send a message."
"How did she know though. She had to be close. To the world Damian was quiet, with very high guarda but nice. He never let his guard down when he was out in public with people he didn't know." My aunt diana said. My aunt Lois and my uncle kal bent over to grab my hand. I look down to my hand looking directly at my wedding ring. That's when I noticed what my aunt said. Those last few words. "With people he didn't know. " ringed in my head.
"Lia." I whispered. But everyone heard. "He wouldn't have his guard on high alert around her because he already knew her for years. How could I be so stupid." I look at my uncle kal. "We ignored our feeling." I tell him he realised what I was saying.
"She spent years studying us by my dad's side."I looked over at my dad. He shook his head.
"No it can't be." He denied everything.
"She manipulated you dad. She didn't care about you. She was trying to hurt you." I looked at everyone. "She played us all." Right when we were finally accepting her.
"I'll be right back." Barry said before zooming out of the room.
"Seriously Talia, Lia. How could I be so fucking stupid.She fucking shortened her fucking name."
"Lucy calm down." My dad says.
"How the fuck do you expect me to calm the Fuck down. She killed my husband. She killed him. And we did nothing."
"You didn't know." My uncle victor said.
"We didn't know a lot of things. This all because of fucking Talia. When I get out of here in going to fucking kill her." With that said joker stepped out of the room followed by my dad.

Third person POV

"Jack.. what happened?" Bruce asked the joker.
"I can't see her like this Bruce." Joker shook his head."I never thought I had any sort of connection with her. She is so not like me. She is so pure and innocent with a good heart. But right now everything she's saying sound psychotic like me." He ran his hand through his hair.
"She's just dealing with the loss of her husband."
"Ooh really I didn't know. Guess what before all of this." He pointed at his features." I was just grieving the loss of my wife and unborn child that were killed in front of me in a home robbery and look at what I became..." Bruce stares at Jack.

"Bruce I know how this goes she's following the same exact steps I did and if we don't help her and support her she will become a killer. I did not stop until I got the last one the men that killed my family. She possesses the power to do that and more. If we don't stop her.. let's just say you should be scared for your life. "
Bruce was taken back. Joker never told anyone his backstory at why he became the joker. Hearing what he had to say for his daughter made Bruce get goosebumps.
"I've never been truly connected with Quinn but now everything of herself is reminding me of well me. She's grieving the way I did. I just don't want her to have the same outcome. I want to protect her from becoming me. Life gave me a second chance of being a father and I don't want to fail."
"She's not like you Jack she isn't mad enough to kill a person."
"Madness is like Gravity... All it takes is a little... push." He steps away from Bruce. "And Lucy was already at the edge ready to jump." He said before walking down the mental hospital's halls.
Bruce walked back into the room with Barry right behind him.

Lucy's POV

"My head hurts. " I said towards my aunt Lois. She nodded and sat on the bed with me playing with my hair.
My uncles and aunt were arguing about god knows what.
"I'm tired and I dont have the strength to hear you argue all fucking da-" I said before looking to my left where my IV bag was Barry had a needle injected to the IV bag he pushed the fluid from the needle all in . He took the needle out and looked at everyone and back to me.
"What? You said sedate me. I just followed instructions. " He said before stepping away.
"You're a fucking idiot." I said before falling into a deep sleep.
