I frowned a bit as I searched the huge expanse of the manor. True it would get easy to get lost in the many halls of Wayne Manor but if you've stayed a few days it wouldn't be hard to forget. I had to talk to Bruce,because he would know who this woman called Talia Al Ghul was. I had checked several places of the manor including the Batcave which had only left Bruce ' s study. So walking down the hall and to the right I open the door rather then knocking finding what I needed to know more important than his work."Bruce you need to tell me about a woman " She said abruptly and to the point. Bruce simply looked up from his work no emotion etched on his face but a hint of anger could somewhat be seen in his features but I simply ignored them.

"Who is Talia Al Ghul" I said looking at him. In a brief few seconds I watched as Bruce seemed to go from the anger etched in his features to somewhat of curiosity. He looked at me with the blue eyes he had " Why is it important you must know now and where did you hear that name from?"He questioned. I looked at him and closed the door behind me before I leaned against it."Well let's see it is important because one my own father just told me my mother isn't dead and that her name is well let's see Talia Al Ghul so tell me who is this woman " I said.

Bruce sighed and said " take a seat it might take a little bit"he said.

I frowned a bit and sat down silently waiting for Bruce to begin. "Well let's see... Talia Al Ghul is...."He said going into facts and this and that that I wanted to know and I listened intently frowning a bit more before I stood slowly at the mention of Damian and piecing things together from there I easily realized that if Talia was my mother that made Damian my half brother and I grimaced a little bit. With a quick thanks I left Bruce ' s studies and went back to my room where I pretty much blocked the door with a dresser in the room.
