Gotham's Assassin. (Male reader x DC)

Everything Is Permitted (Epilouge)

8 months later.

Cass and I are in the waiting room of a hospital. Angelo walks out with tear stains around his eyes.

Angelo: He's... on his way out. We can say goodbye now.

We walk into the room and see Al with his eyes closed, motionless.

Angelo: I said mine already. Go ahead.

Y/n: Al, if you can here me, I just want you to know, you were one of the best friends I had ever had. Good teammate, teacher, brother. I'm gonna miss you. We all will.

I see a small smile appear on his face. Angelo steps up.

Angelo: We'll see you soon, Brother.

We stand around him until he dies peacefully in his sleep.

We all walk out and Cass and I go pick up Alex from Bruce. Bruce answers the door with Alex behind him. He runs up and Cass scoops him up.

Cass: How was it with Grandpa?

Alex: It was so fun!

Y/n: Really?

Alex: Yeah!

Cass: Thanks for watching him, Dad.

Bruce: No problem at all, any time.

We leave the mansion and arrive back at the lair, where we add Al to the memorial of fallen Assassins. We put him next to Alex, Grandmaster, and Doctor Frye.

Angelo: It was a good life you lead, Brother.

Y/n: The best.

We mourn for a while the get back to doing Assassin work.

42 years later.

Cass is in the Hospital. She caught a really bad illness and we don't think she'll make it. I sit next to her and stroke her hair while we look at eachother. We hold eachothers hands until she gets rather upset looking.

Y/n: What is it?

Cass: Y/n, I'm scared.

Y/n: I know. But we will meet again. One way or another. We'll find eachother.

She smiles slightly.

Cass: I love you.

Y/n: I love you, too.

She closes her eyes and lets out one final breath. The doctors run in and try to revive her but nothing works. She dies in the hospital. I ride home with her things.

A few months later.

I go to her funeral and pay my respects and say a eulogy. I miss her everyday.

Two years later.

It turns out I'm now a grumpy old man. I have stepped down from Grandmaster to let someone more able to lead take the role. I hear a knock on my door and open it to find a young Assassin girl.

Y/n: Yes?

Assassin: Can you help train me.

Y/n: I'm too old. Go find someone else.

I go to shut the door but she puts her foot in the way. I open it again and grumble to myself.

Assassin: Please. I looked up to you my entire childhood and I need a great teacher.

I think about it for a while and then finally agree.

Months later.

We've been training for a while now and I'll be damned if I didn't say the kid has grown on me. But something bad has happened. My heart has weakend and it's hard to do a lot of things now. Alex walk up to me. I made him the new Grandmaster a while back since he had become a great Assassin.

Alex: I'm going to the market with the kids. Wanna come with us.

Y/n: Yeah. I'll go.

We walk out and I have a hard time exiting the lair. We arrive at the market and I sit on a bench and tell them to go on while I rest. A young man sits next to me.

Man: Ah this city is filthy. Full of vermin and disgusting people. But the women, they are like fine wine.

I glance at him and roll my eyes.

Man: Wouldn't you agree, Y/n.

I look at him shocked and suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my chest. I'm about to activate my blade but he puts his hand on my wrist.

Man: Don't be afraid, old man.

I look at him while breathing heavily and feeling my life fade. He smiles and nods at me. He then gets up and walks away. I let in and slump over.

Alex: Dad!

Darkness overtakes my vision.

Cass: Hey, wake up.

I open my eyes and look up. I see Cass.

Cass: Shall we go?

I look and see a bright light. I look at myself and see that I'm young again. I look up again and she extends her hand. I smile and reach out. She helps me up. We hold hands and walk into the light together.
