The Blood Of Gotham

| 5 |

Jason didn't know what to do, his date had just passed out on him after glowing an intense red. Jason was in a stand still.

"Fuck, why is this happening right now?" Jason muttered under his breath as he held Marilla's head steady, and her body close, her breath still but her body unconscious.

Jason didn't know what to do but called the manor.

"Hello, Wayne Manor speaking."

"Al, I need you to get ready for the Medbay, and maybe bring Bruce." Jason explained briefly, "and probably someone who's good at magic, and tell Bruce to call Clark, it's about his sister."

"Okay Master Jason, when will you get here?" Alfred said as calmly as he could.

"I'm not sure, maybe 5 if Clark is able to find us."

"I'll tell Mister Clark as fast as I can."

And it was then when Alfred hung up the phone.

And it took less than 5 minutes for Clark Kent to reemerge in the alleyway Jason and Marilla shared.

"Jason." Clark growled out as he saw his sister unconscious on the floor. "What happened to my sister?"

Jason couldn't believe it, but he felt scared for what Superman's wrath could do to him.

"Before you kill me," Jason held Marilla close, "get her to the bat cave, she's not stable."

Wordlessly, Clark picked up his sister and was gone in a second, leaving a stunned Jason in the alley.

For a moment he thought about what a shit end to a date that was before remembering he had to make it to the cave as fast as he could to see how Marilla would end up.

———

Jason's motorcycle revved as he entered the bat cave, and before he knew it he was being held by the collar by Clark.

"What happened?" Clark spit out, his eyes were almost red with fury.

"Wo-would you-let me down?" Jason choked between breaths.

Clark reluctantly let him down.

"We were in the middle of walking back to the hotel," Jason explained, holding his neck, "she was feeling weird and I led her to the alleyway to rest and she started coughing up blood. Before I fucking knew it her veins were glowing red and blood was spilling from her fingertips."

"What?" Clark looked shocked, and a little calmer.

"Is she maybe meta?" Bruce entered the conversation, dressed in his costume minus the cowl.

"I've known her for most of her life, I'd know if she was meta." Clark looked focused.

"I've tested for anything weird in Gothams air, like fear toxin or poison ivy's poison and I came up with nothing," Bruce looked at the scans, his fingers tapping on various keys, "her blood levels have spiked, however. With no physical injuries, it has to be something internal. And before I can get Zatanna here, I'm not so sure I know what is wrong with her."

"Will she be okay?" Jason looked at his dad with a pleading look.

Bruce only frowned, "Sorry Jay, I'm not sure."

"Fuck.." Jason rubbed his eyes.

"Meta..how would I not know?" Clark looked over to where his unconscious sister. "What's the ETA on Z, Bruce?"

Bruce looked up, "2 hours."

Clark sighed, "Alright, thanks for helping out with this. I appreciate it."
