Everything falls apart || Dick Grayson||

Chapter 23:it was too late

Previously "Everything falls apart."

I inhaled, exhaled, and said, "Why couldn't you tell me what was happening? And don't give me a bullshit answer."

She said, "I couldn't because if I did, then you wouldn't be alive right now, and Skylar would be already turned into a deadly weapon."

I said, "If you were honest about this situation, things wouldn't turn out how they are now."

She turned her head and said, "Please forgive me for what I have done, Bruce."

I walked over to her and gave her a death glare, then said sinisterly, "I will never forgive you for what you did to Skylar, and let be known that if I see you around her at any moment, then you are dead."

Bruce's POV 

Nyssa looked at me like she had never seen a ghost before, and the silence was so loud in the living room. It looked like she was about to say something, but I didn't necessarily care what she would say anyway. I walked away from her, left the apartment, returned to the car, and Alfred drove us home.

Alfred didn't ask what happened and just kept on driving. Once we arrived home, Alfred opened my door, and I exited the vehicle; we both entered the Wayne manor. Alfred closed the door, and I saw Grayson coming up to me.

It all happens in slow motion.

Alfred tried to stop him, but Grayson pushed him away; then Grayson's fist came into contact with my jaw. I touched the side of my mouth, and blood came out. I looked at him and was about to reiterate against him, but Alfred got in the middle of us and pushed us away.

Everything was back in motion in real-time.

I clenched my jaw and spitted some blood out of my mouth, then Grayson gave me the death stare.

Alfred spoke up and said, "Now, Master Dick, why did you punch Master Bruce in the face?."

He gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw, then said, "It's his fault that she has gone off the grid, all because you couldn't tell the truth about her father from the beginning."

I rebutted by saying," Oh really? You would have told her that her father was the leader of the League of Assassins, then used her to his advantage."

Grayson said, "I wouldn't have kept from her as long as you did, and now she is gone and nowhere to be seen."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Oh please, you didn't even like her at all, Grayson, and would constantly mention that she was a murderer. So don't act innocent when you are not dick."

Grayson tried to get to me, but Alfred pushed us away from each other and then yelled at the both of us, "ENOUGH, YOU BOTH MADE MISTAKES IN INVOLVING SKYLAR ALRIGHT BUT RIGHT NOW, WE NEED TO FIND HER AND BRING HER BACK HOME WHERE SHE BELONGS OKAY."

Grayson and I were stunned and stood there because we had never seen Alfred so angry in all these years with me. He was right that we needed to find her and sort everything out before something terrible happened.

Back to Skylar's Pov 

Everything around me was destroyed and became a wasteland for my anger.

I kept walking in the forest until I stopped and stood there.

It was getting dark in the day, and I needed shelter, so I built a little cabin with the materials around me. It took a while to make, but it was finally finished, and I walked into the cabin.
