The Past in Red.(a red hood fanfic)

Chapter 7

Jason went straight to the cemetery. Parking right outside the rickety old gate he removed his Red Hood helmet. He tried the gate but being 2:37 AM they were locked. Jason sighed and jumped the old metal fence instead.

Walking among hundreds of graves he finally found Nikki's. In the back of the cemetery underneath an old leafless tree.

" Hey baby." Jason whispered placing a bouquet of black roses in front of the big grave stone." I brought your favorite." Jason kneeled in front of her grave. Placing a gloved hand on the top of the grave stone trough tear filled eyes he read:

Here lies, Nicole Amanda Brine.

Wonderful girlfriend expecting mother beautiful daughter.

then the born and died dates saying she was only barely 20 . Then it said: Buried by; Jason Todd , the love of her life.

Jason just sat there for how long he didn't know . "Why?" He whispered"Why?Why why why why why!?!" Jason cried "Why couldn't I have just stayed dead! Then you would have never died!"

"Jason." Jason froze. He heard no foot steps no nothing but a gentle breeze going through his messy 'helmet' hair. "Jason."

"Who's there!" Jason yelled spinning around, gun in hand. Crap. He thought his left leg was numb .

"Jason. It's okay." The voice was female and it comforted Jason when he heard it.

"Who's there!? Do I know you?" Jason whispered the last part he felt like he was in a dream.

"Jason. It's me. Nikki." As this was said Jason saw her. Short brown hair, bright eyes that were green and blue kind of mixed together, a overall look of determined rebelliousness and mystery in them. She had a sweet but sad smile, her curves were still perfect and Jason saw no trace of the Jokers horrible mutilating act that had killed her. Just seeing her after all this time was to much. He wanted to laugh,cry,hug her , kiss every inch of her beautiful body, to hold her close and never let go.

"Nikki. How?" Was all Jason could say and even then it came as a hoarse whisper.

"Jason, I must go. But be careful and cherish the people who love you. Don't miss out on the perfect girl. She is closer than you think. And as for that girl in your apartment, be careful....."

"Nikki!? Nikki!? No wait! Come back please! Please don't leave me!" Jason cried suddenly a hand was on his shoulders. Jason shot his head up seeing he was still on his knees.

"Jason, come home. Please." A deep but fatherly voice said.

Jason spun around and couldn't believe it. Couldn't believe he came.
