The Robin I needed

Her Dark Past

Demona's POV:
Realizing that his hand was still on my face and that we were inching closer to each other I quickly pushed away his hand. His face was filled with shock at my sudden movement.

"I need to get away from him" I thought

I try to get up but I was lost in his deep blue eyes that I forgot that I still had a piece of glass in my leg. The pain came back and it felt unbearable. My vision started to go blurry and I felt dizzy. I fell to the ground and everything went black.

In the Bat Cave
I wake up to hear the sound of yelling echoing as if we were in a cave of some sort. Not wanting who ever was yelling to know that I was awake I just stayed lying down to listen to their conversation.

???: "Why the hell did you bring her here, Damian?!"

Damian: "I had to or she would have died from the extreme amount of blood loss, Bats."

Batman: "you should have brought her to the hospital. The worst part of this whole thing tonight is that she knows who you are, but do you know her? And don't you dare lie to me."

Damian: "... Yes I know her... She is a girl from my school and I could see why she wanted to kill me."

Batman: "oh really Damian and what is the answer to that?"

Damian: "she's been through so much. Her family beats her and she gets bullied at school. She hides so much inside that it is probably is killing her from the inside out. It's not her fault."

Batman: "yes it---..."

I was getting sick and tired of this argument and decided to chime in.

"It was my fault... I got greedy and accepted to kill him. The reward was $1,000,000. $500,000 before and $500,000 after the job was done. It was from the Joker. I want to get away from all the pain and suffering I've been through."

I sat up on the table and hugged my knees to my chest.

Damian's POV:
She hugged her knees to her chest and it looked like she was going to cry but not one tear came out of her eyes. I slowly made my way over to her and say down next to her.

"Demona, wha---..." Before I was able to ask my question I was interrupted.

"I know what you're going to ask and I mind as well tell you... When I just turned 6 years old my mother and father decided to take me out for my birthday. We went to my favorite restaurant Bugaboo Creek and after we ate they took me to this beautiful jewelry store. They knew the owner of the place and had something specially made for me. They told me to close my eyes and when I opened them I looked into the mirror and saw this beautiful turquoise crescent moon necklace. They said to me 'As long as you wear this we will always be with you no matter where we go or how far apart we are.' My mother also pulled out this gorgeous hand crafter music box and gently placed it into my hands. She put the necklace on the top of the music box and wounded it up. I opened it up slowly as if it would break and it played a beautiful melody. It was the song my mother always sang to me..." She stopped speaking and it felt as if She was going to cry but nothing came out. She then held onto something around her neck and continued to speak. "We left the store and walked down the road nearing our house but someone stopped us before we turned the street. A tall skinny man held a gun up to my parents and I and told us to give him everything valuable on us. He saw the music box in my hand and the necklace around my neck and said he wanted those. My father moved me behind him and told the man to leave me alone and to take everything else except for me and my presents. And he did just that... He took everything away from me... He took everything I loved. I fell to my knees sitting in a pool of both my parents blood, but something deep inside of me snapped that day and I could never forgive him. Anger took over me and I killed him... I was only 6 when I first killed someone... Then I was sent to an orphanage and I hated it there and ran away every night going to the same place over and over again to my parents graves. Every night I would play the music box at their graves and I would fall asleep. Then my asshole stepparents came and adopted me and my life was a living hell. I wanted to give up on life but my anger took over me and I practiced fighting everyday. I soon became what I am now and lost sight of everything around me..."

Her hands were shaking and I took them in mine. I looked at her and saw that there were actual tears in her eyes. My hand moves to her chin and pulled her eyes to look at mine.

"I'm so sorry for everything that has happened to you. But I would never ever hurt you." I hugged her and then I kissed her. I was shocked myself... I only knew her for one day and I kissed her but I feel like everything is right with her around and I think I like her but I'm not sure if that is my true feeling. I slowly parted my lips from hers and look up to see Batman looking straight at us.
