        "Im here Bruce! Whats up?" i yelled walking down the stairs to the library. It was completley silent. "Hello? Anybody here?" i asked. "Okay i guess not, i'll just wait." I started to walk into the library when i started to hear two people talking. I saw Bruce talking to a man in a purple suit. The suit looked like it was made from fine snake skin. The man had slicked back green hair. "Green hair? The only person i know of is..." i trailed off.

Bruce looked my way and i quickly ducked out of sight behind the wall that concealed the stairs from the library. "I hope he didnt see me." i muttered to myself. I tried to listen to them talk but i couldnt hear much. "I hope you have an easy journey Jonas." I heard Bruce say loudly.

"Same to you Bruce. Take care of my daughter." i heard Jonas say. I figured this was the indicator that the conversation was over. i Quickly picked up my empty bowl and rushed up staires so Jonas wouldnt see me.

"I see you there Monday" Damien said making me jump and drop my bowl.

"What the hell Damien?!" i yelled at him. He smirked.

"Thought i would jumpscare you. It looks like it worked." he said laughing.

"Jonas is here!" i said quietley. The look on Damiens face changed quickley. Now instead of looking happy and care free he looked pretty worried.

"What do you mean Jonas is here? My dad would never go for that!" he said his voice shaking.

"They were talking about something in the library." i said. "Shhh, here he comes!" i said pulling Damien into the kitchen." We peered out of the kitchen door to wait for him to leave. Soon he walked by and we saw him. Tall with slicked back green hair. A fine purple snake skin suit a cane with a dragons head on it. Damiens face was mixed with worry, terror and excitement.

We watched him walk by the kitchen and then to the front door where Alfred stood. Alfred opened the door for Jonas and then spitefully closed it behind him. Alfred made this face that was pretty fulll of anger but it was pretty funny. Damien and I walked out of the kitchen to see Alfred.

"Did you see that?" he said in his british accent. Me and Damien both nodded. Bruce walked up the stairs and looked at us a moment. "Monday can i talk to you down stairs?" he asked. I nodded and followed him as he descended down the stairs. When we got down stairs Bruce sat down in his chair behind his desk. He only did this we he was going to talk "professional issues".

"Take a seat Monday." he said gesturing to the two chairs in front of the desk. I sat down in the left chair. "Whats up Uncle Bruce?" i asked. He let out a deep sigh and looked down.

"I know you saw me talking to Jonas." he said. I looked down. Did he know i knew Jonas was my father? Did Damien tell him? I nodded in answer to what he said. "Who was that guy?" i asked.

"Jonas Graham a.k.a The Joker a.k.a Your Father." he said. I lokked him in the eyes and stared. "I know you've met him before. He told me everything, thats why he came here. He wanted my approval." he said. I made a puzzled look.

"Approval of what?" i asked with a raised eyebrow

"Approval of finding your mom." he replied

It was silent. Not a word was being said. "I know you know about this. I also know that that one girl Pam never drugged you. I know that Damien kidnapped you and brought you to Jonas in lower Gotham to Arkham." he said going on. I was looking down and i continued to look down.

"Well? What do you have to say for both you and Damien?" he asked.

"Well, in my defense Bruce, Damien shoved me in his car after lunch, and then i was knocked out by something and woke up tied down to a chair." i said trying to defend myself.

Bruce sighed. "I see..." he said trailing off.

"i have a question Uncle Bruce." i said. Bruce nodded as to say go ahead. "What did you tell him when he asked your approval?" i asked.

"I told him that i did not approve of this." he said. I looked down. "That will be all Monday." he said. "Go to bed now." I nodded at this and headed down stairs.

I turned to face the stairs. I started to walk down the stairs. I heard Bruce call Alfred on his cell. "Send Damien down here we need to talk." i heard him say. 

                                                                                                  ...

I was on my laptop in my room and it was about 3 am. I was messaging that guy i met in class on the first day. Tony Dumstrang. We had become friends since the first day of school and he was actually a pretty good guy. We talked for hours on Instant Messenger. "Do you wanna video chat?" he asked.

"Yea sure." I replied.

A few minutes later he finally video called me. He was wearing a loose Mayday Parade T-shirt and baggy basketball shorts. We talked for so long about so many different things. "Hey Monday?" he said.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Im going to get my shower for school. Do you want me to text you after i get out?" he asked.

"What do you mean its only," i paused looking at the time on my laptop, "6:30 AM" i said trailing off.

We were talking so much that time got away from me. "Wow." i said.

"Yeah," he replied, "So ill message you when im out?" he asked once again.

"Yesss!" i said kind of eagerly.

"Okay, bye beautiful." he said and then then he ended the call.
