My True Future : A Batman Fan Fiction

Chapter 8

I quickly realize its Batman.... I slowly back off. my dad wlks towards me and doesn't realize batman is behind him. Dad puts his knife to my cheek. Batman walks nice and quiet and pulls my father around to face him. They fight for a short while cause batman knocked my dad out cold. I looked for my mom but..I think she ran away like she always does when she is scared. Batman told me he would come back soon from the police station. I stare at Robert and William. who am I supposed to help first...I looked back at my unconscious father. I wanted to please him...but...now I know. nothing can please the joker. "Joyce! Omg Girl are you ok?" Asphodel says and Peter, Avery,and Marissa come running in. "Guys..I'm...fine...But please we need to help William and Robert! Now!" I say almost going nuts at the thought of losing either of them. Robert and William both must have had some kind of an adreniline rush because they both jumped up out of no where's and ran to me. I smiled at them and tried to get them to sit down. all of a sudden I heard shots and once again Robert was on the ground...and so was William. I turned around and saw my mom. She ran away and we never even talked to each other. Without even thinking I ran to Robert. "Robert....your gonna be OK....I...I promise" I whispered into his ear not even knowing if he could hear me. "Joyce....what happened..." I hear Batman's voice and see him slowly walking to williams side. "It's....a long story...Its all my fault...I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt...especially not them..." I said tearing up. I grabbed the knife my dad dropped and put it towards my hand. "Joyce...Come on...give me the knife..." Batman stared at me and I looked at my hand then at him. I handed him the knife. Peter and Asphodel went to get bandages and other supplies from the nurses office. Batman, Marrisa and I Stayed to help Robert and William. Robert was more hurt then William was. I sat there and without really noticing I sat by Roberts side and never left. William Finally did wake up. He walked to me before his dad took him home for rest. "Joyce.... We need to take Robert to the hospital...we don't have the supplies here to help him...." Batman said and picked up Robert somehow. I almost ran to the hospital. Batman wouldn't let me come but I was going...so I went by myself. "Where is Robert Grayson? Where is his room?" I asked the receptionist. She gave me the room and I ran to it. I walked in and I saw his mom and dad. I almost walked right out but I didn't care anymore....I was there for one of my best friends. I stared at him with anger over myself. If I would have at least gotten them out of there before my dad showed up....he wouldn't be here....laying almost lifeless in a hospital bed. "You must be Joyce..Robert told us about you...You don't seem like your father's daughter.." Roberts dad said walking over to me and looking me over. "I am nothing like my father...I actually have a heart..." I say trying to sound funny. "Oh hahaahah well that's very good there" He said laughing a bit. "W-What.....H-Happened...?" I hear a very faint famillier voice. I realize its Robert and I want to explain to him what happened but I just stare with watery eyes. Batman and William eventually tell him after letting him rest more. "Is Joyce.... Is she OK?" I hear him say and he looks around. I walk over to his side. "I'm right here Rob.... I'm OK..." I smile at him he smiles back and then winces in pain. Batman looks at the machine Roberts hooked up too and nods his head at William. "Joyce... come with me my dad wants us out of the room.." He grabs my arm. "What? N...No! I'm not leaving..." I say very stubbornly. All of a sudden there's a long beep and I stare at Robert. I see that his machine has a flat line. "No! Robert! No don't you dare! Please stop it! Help him!" I start screaming and William pulls me back and out of the room.
