.you may not like it.

Alfred Pennyworth thought that he saw every Wayne fall, by blood or name. They have all fallen into the madness, when Bruce Wayne decided, years ago, to became Batman, Gotham's own vigilante. After years in training under Ra's al Ghul, he returned and became someone who protected the city. But he had a code, to never kill, was the main rule of it. Bruce knew that if he would kill, he's no better than those who terrorize his city. When Alfred talked him into going out one night, he returned with freshly orphaned boy, who witnessed his parents dead. Just like him. He had to admit, Richard Grayson was different than Bruce. He didn't hold so much hate as Wayne, but still wanted revenge.

When Richard turned fifteen, Bruce Wayne returned with yet another, orphaned boy. Jason Todd. Kid raised on streets of Gotham, with runaway father and drug addicted mother, who died two years earlier. He tried to steal tires of Batmoblie, when Bruce returned to it. He saw something in barely nine years old boy. He trained him, but soon saw difference between Dick and Jason. When Dick was graceful and gracious, Jason wanted to punish those who did wrong. Second Robin didn't have empathy, that the first one had. He didn't obey the orders and at the age of fifteen, he died beaten with crowbar by Joker and then blew up.

Six months after Jason's dead, Alfred Pennyworth met Timothy Drake. Boy was shy and very taciturn, but brilliant as well. Without a Robin, Batman went out alone, but one night he found young boy in the cave, with domino mask in his hands. Blue eyes were wet with tears and he asked him if Batman was real. That night, Alfred Pennyworth witnessed birth of another Robin, hoping he would be the last one. Tim Drake was always better with computers, than humans. So when he decided to not join Teen Titans, like years ago Dick did, Bruce only nodded.

After a year with no Robin, Bruce Wayne was faced with his demons. Talia al Ghul returned to Gotham, but not alone. She had a girl at her side, with Bruce's eyes and his mother's smile. Daniella Wayne was stubborn, confident and well trained, being the granddaughter of Ra's al Ghul and heiress to the Demon. Knowing how much pain, the twelve years old girl must feel over the years, Bruce only nodded at Talia's words and took the girl in. She was wary, intelligent and creative. After three days with her father, she was going out with him in Robin suit. And that's when, Alfred Pennyworth for the first time in his life, saw Bruce Wayne broken and irreparable. When he appeared in the cave, after Masters Jason, Timothy and Richard. With his daughter's lifless body, covered in blood and bruises.

April 1, 2010 Daniella Wayne devoted her life to save hostages, at the age of fifteen. At April 2, Bruce Wayne announced that his daughters life has ended, when she tried to get Joker's hostages out of the warehouse in Gotham's port. That day, Jason Todd, returned to life, appearing at his little sister's funeral, all in black, with tears and blood on his hands. That night, Red Hood was in Gotham's, Metropolis's, Central City's, National City's and Starling City's television, while he threw Joker's beaten body out of the city hall's roof.

Talia looked over the room, her green eyes scanning all of it. She returned to Gotham only to learn about her daughter's death. Doors open and Bruce Wayne walked in, closing them behind him. He sat before her and look at her face. She looked the same, but what hit him the most, was emptiness in her eyes. She didn't even bother to fake pain or sadness. "Why am I here? What for?" Her voice was still melodic and light, but he heard harshness in it. His eyes narrowed and he took a breath. "I want to learn. The truth." He said, not looking at her, but at necklace between her fingers. "You may not like it, beloved."

"Why did you sent Daniella to me?" Talia smiled, but he felt sick seeing it. Her green eyes were so much like Daniella's, that it also hurt to see so much negative emotions in them. "She was supposed to be prepared to live alone. Without League, me or you. She failed and took my greatest creation with herself to the grave." She said with venom in her voice.
