Fate (DC X Male Reader)

Danger Line

Two weeks after the party.

It's night time and I'm sneaking out again. I exit through my window, climb down, and hop the fence. I go through the Gotham streets and notice things are quiet. A little too quiet. I look behind my back every minute or so to make sure some psycho isn't chasing me with a gun or knife.

Homeless man: Hey kid, got any change.

I look and see a man surrounded by empty bottles. I reach in my pocket and give him a fifty dollar bill.

Y/n: Spend it on food, okay?

Homeless man: You have my word kid.

I walk away and take a turn down the street, but something grabs me and pulls me into the alley. It throws me and I square up. Two men step in front of me. I run at one and punch him the other grabs me and throws me into a wall. I get up and kick him in the knee. He falls down but the other puts me in a hold.

???: Oi. That's enough, lads.

The one guy still has me in a hold but I look at the guy who spoke and see Oswald Cobblepot.

Y/n: Ah, shit.

Oswald: Don't be down, son. I ain't gonna do anything to ya.

Y/n: Your family has been in Gotham for six generations... why do you sound british?

Oswald: Went to school there. Nice place.

Y/n: What do you want?

Oswald: Well, Lad. You're new dad has files I want. Hell, files I need. They're the deed for a large series of condos. Get them for me.

Y/n: Why would I do that? These people have been nothing but good to me.

Oswald: Wanna meet your parents?

Y/n: What?

Oswald: I know them, Y/n. I can bring them to you.

Y/n: How?

Oswald: Your, dad and I were... let's just say partners in crime.

Y/n: What?

Oswald: Y/n, people don't know this but you come from one of the largest crime families in Gotham.

Y/n: But why hasn't anyone gone after them?

Oswald: They used a fake name. You're real last names were never used in any documents.

Y/n: Smart.

Oswald: Bring the files to me by friday, and you'll meet your parents. Deal?

Y/n: Deal.

Oswald: Let him go!

They let me go and I walk back to the manor. I hop the fence again, climb up to the roof and back into my window. I then get in my bed and go to sleep. The next morning I get up and do the morning routine. I go downstairs for Breakfest and grab a plate. I eat my food and then put my plate in the sink. I go upstairs and find Bruce's study. I map out an escape route from there to out of the manor grounds.

???: Y/n.

I turn and see Bruce right there.

Bruce: We're going out to a Basketball game. You want to come with us.

Y/n: Uh... no. I'm not feeling right today.

Bruce: You sure? It's your favorite team.

Y/n: Yeah. I'm sure. I'm gonna go to my room. I'll see you guys later though.

I walk past him and towards my room.

Bruce: Hmm.

I stay in my room for the rest of the day so I don't look suspicous. I can't believe I'm doing this but... I want my family. And that's something this place doesn't have. Bruce knocks on my door and lets me know they are leaving. I wait about an hour and then make my way towards the study. I peak my head out and start moving towards it. I make my to the door and open it. I step in and close the door in case Alfred is home and upstairs with me.
