The one time in Gotham

<Family secrets>

That night the police took half the kids that couldn't be held in the old decrepit building. She, being one of the kids that sat down in the shelter of the police department. They brought them food and gave them sleeping bags curtsy of the billionaire dirt bags, Bruce Wayne enterprises. I would rather die. Two days later they got placed in temporary homes day by day kids left and more left the few unlucky ones, (her and a few others) sat here till some of the police took the others in.

On fateful day i got sent to a temporary home, the biggest home or the top riches in Gotham, Damn fucking Bruce Wayne. I was picked up by his butler and sent of to his house a dark house that always seem to have an ominous dark cloud surrounding it. A manor on a Clift nearing the oceans edge. When i arrived i see the man and what seem to be his kids. One short, tan and black sleek hair. Next pale as a ghost, hidden pockets of sleep deprived nights under his eyes almost looking like Tim from the other night. Lastly the older male with boy~ish charms and sleek black hair just like dick Grayson. "Dick" I whisper under my voice but the boy caught it. "Yes, we meet again." He smiles and puts his hand out to shake. I smile but decline, i look to the man to be my temporary caretaker, "hello sir, Im Jesica Tetch and frankly im distest to you one-percenters. Im here only for shelter till two months ends and the orphanage is up and running again. I will not make myself a burden to you or your sons i just ask that you'll leave me alone." I smile nicely holding my hand out to make a deal. I hear the little one laugh to himself "i like this one she's funny." He says nearing over to Tim who seems half alive. Bruce gives a half hearted smirk and shook my hand. "I accept to your terms but i can not say for my boys." I huffed in discontent "ok thank you 'sir'" i say mockingly as i followed Alfred to the second story of the manor. Third door down on the right side of the hall, i bid Alfred a good night stating that im not hungry and i would be going to bed early. "Thanks for everything Mr. Alfred... see you tomorrow." I shut the door studying my room 4 large windows on half the room a kingsize bed with rustic dark oak furniture and floor. "Well this is my life now for the next few months." I say to my self and i slouch down on the door. -why did she leave me this is so unfair i was a good kid for most of the time why did she leave.- tears threaten my eyes to spill out of my lid. -sleep just go to sleep.- i lay down on the lavish bed, the pillows, mattress, down to the fitted sheets felt like silk or a cloud.

I wake up to boys shouting in the halls and messing around. Looking to the clock reading 4:48AM -this fucking early are you kidding me.- walking out to the kitchen i see them again. "Midnight?" I barely say above a whisper. It was like all their head darted in my direction. All the boys faces but in the vigilante suits. "What the fu-" gloved hand covers my mouth. "Relax were not going to hurt you so you don't scream got it ." I nod as he lets me go i turn back to him masked in a red hood filmed whites coving the eyes. "So who are you the other 3 i know, your new." I stare unwavering. "He's one of Bruces kids like us he's just not living here for the moment." Dick say from the counter by the fridge. "Ok.... Just shut up out here, people Like to sleep and not play dress up. Night" i turn around back to my room. Once back in i closed my door and screamed in to a pillow, -WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK- so many questions reaching though my mind. I hear foot steps stopping at my door i slowed my breathing and watched the door. Next minute they walk away into their own room. Sigh in relief. After that night i became skeptical attempting find out the family secrets. The only thing i came up with that the boys would leave every night and return in the morning although i never caught them again i would listen to there foot steps.

I had to attend the private school mr. Wayne paid in full to continue my high school education. Every morning we take the car to school. Tim and I go finish up our junior year Damian his 5th grade year. Damian complains how tedious this is for him and he's smarter than everyone even the teachers. I join in on the teacher hate club but for other reasons while Tim is asleep on the window. Over the week Damian and i got along playing who can wake up Tim first between that and homework rush it was enjoyable. I had death threats and suide notes thrown around, placed to scare me away. Because a 'commoner' is in their school. Damian and Tim showed up a few of the worst but i only got harder more secretive. Tim had one class with me witch was forensics the poor teacher couldn't keep up between us. I would answer everything right but never turn in work, Tim would do the most beautiful work bur never talk unless a grade was required. For a cold exterior he's friendly once you get in to topics he likes. Dick and i only hung out never much but it was enough to make me warm up to him. Jason would drop in after a bike ride but he was too scuffed up to make it a believe it.

——night——-

In the kitchen about 2:30 boys busted though the kitchen Jason had a gunshot to his shoulder on the left. "MOVE-" dick demanded I cleared the counter. I realized all of them were in the costumes again all beaten and bruised. "Guys wha-" I barely gasp as i got shoved in the hall by Damian still in full gear, domino mask and everything. "Dam-" I barely got out "not now later go to your room." Damian says without a hint of emotion. I got so frustrated I punched the wall. -Damn fuckers!- Alfred ran by with an aid kit. I sat on the steps Batman ran in, my heart stoped "B-bruce!?" He glanced in my direction for a second but continues straight.
