Chapter 5

He took the handcuffs off as she crossed her arms and glared at him. "You can't do this your not a fucking officer!" She yelled angrily catching people's attention. He sighed and spun the cuffs around his finger. "Tell me what's been going on and I won't handcuff you" he said as she looked down at her feet. Maybe Dick could help her after all? "Okay but you can't tell anyone" she said as he put the cuffs away and nodded. "Well I have an hour until I have to be back at the Academy and we're both going on this subway train to North Gotham. Take all of the time you need" he said as the train arrived.

The two stepped on and went to the back where it was deserted. No one ever sat at the back of the train because it was far from the doors. "So where do you want to start?" He asked sitting on a bench across from hers. Legs swung over the side as he lounged paying full attention to her. "After you left Roquette and Kaldur's wedding I went looking for you. I watched your car leave and I-I didn't know what to do so I went back to Gotham. Jon was pissed that I left and when I came back it wasn't so good" she said as he continued to listen.

She talked and talked until tears began to stream down her cheeks. "Now I live in a shitty house with an asshole of a boyfriend who hits me no matter what I do" she cried out as she began to sob even harder. Standing up he went to comfort her when the train screeched to a stop sending him flat on his back on the floor. Looking down she began to laugh a real laugh. He groaned before standing up and flashing her an embarrassed smile. "I will walk you to your babysitting place" he said holding his arm out to her as she took it.

     If she was walking with an officer she wouldn't get hurt. He surveyed the area and smirked to himself taking her to a local elementary school. "Thanks Dick" she said giving him a small smile. He nodded and patted her back placing a tracker on her backpack. "I'll see you again and remember if that ass tries to hurt you just call" he said as she nodded with an uneasy smile. Turning on his heel he walked away shaking his head while taking his phone out. "I know you won't call Zee that's why I placed a damn tracker on you" he muttered to himself activating it on his cellphone.

     Being Bruce Wayne's adopted son had his perks. For example getting first grabs on Wayne Technology and such. He made it back just in time to walk into his class at the Academy. While everyone else would be doing training he just had to brush up on his knowledge on the law. It was quite boring in his opinion. What he didn't know was that he would be getting an unexpected roommate soon.

     The last thing's she remembered flashed through her mind. Sitting up with her eyes opening wide the monitor spiked. Her heart was racing as she held her chest. Bandaged hand resting against the hospital gown she wore. A couple Nurse's ran in when they got notice of the sudden change in her condition. "Oh Miss Roth you're awake" a Nurse said as Raven looked around. The car crash and grabbing Mar'i and everything was still being processed in her brain. "Miss Roth are you alright?" She asked taking a light out and flashing it in the girls eyes.

     Raven began to blink a couple times before looking at herself. "Where's my Niece?" Raven asked as the Nurse sighed. "She's not dead is she?" She asked suddenly fearing the worst. The two year old couldn't have died, it would just kill her if she did. "No but she is in the next room with minor injuries" the lady said as Raven could now breathe easily. Then it hit her like a brick wall. "What about Kori? You know Kori Anders?" She asked seeing a frown appear on her face.

     Raven could feel tears beginning to cloud her vision. "The crash had hurt her brain quite a bit and she had lost her memory of the last couple of years. Miss Anders parents are on their way to transfer the girl to another hospital" the Nurse said as tears began to stream down the girls cheeks. "Wait. We were on our way to give Mar'i to her father. He hadn't known about her but Kori had to go away and I couldn't take care of her by myself" Raven sputtered out as the Nurse raised an eyebrow.
