Nobody's POV

It's been five months since the lab explosion at a small branch of Wayne Enterprises.
Since then, a new villain has arisen in the streets of Gotham. His name is Benedict Gore.
He has made it quite clear that he wants Bruce Wayne's head on a platter, and the two heroes of Gotham have concluded that it has to do with the death of Diana Gore. Diana died in a hospital bed the day after the lab fire. Her burns being too severe for her to survive.
Today was the day that Benedict was finally going to get his revenge. He was going to kill Bruce Wayne.
He was already headed towards the main Wayne Enterprise building, he also forced, the tech savvy of his two daughters, Acacia, to hack into the Wayne Enterprise systems using some stolen tech from various places.
As the security systems go down, Benedict enters the buildings dressed to blend in with the crowd.
His other daughter, Astrid, acting as a distraction for the front desk, pretending to be a lost child, while her father sneaks in.
Little do the other two know, Acacia had purposely left a trail that she knows the "dynamic duo" will pick up on, and pick up on quickly. She watches the cameras and security system.
"Come on guys, you're needed at the Wayne Enterprise building," Acacia mutters to herself looking at her work, "I need you to be at the Wayne Enterprise building"
After a couple more seconds of silence and the plan going perfectly, Batman appears on camera.
"Oh thank god! Finally!" Acacia mutters relief obvious on her face, "wait I forgot to make sure I wasn't able to be tracked. Oops, too late now"
Suddenly a recording of a boyish laugh is heard throughout the room. Acacia turns around and grabs the foot of the boy flying towards her and throws him to the ground.
"Stop! Can't you tell that I led you here? I didn't have to leave a trail, and I did!" Acacia yells holding him down on the ground with her foot, "I was forced to do this, he made me do this. If you truly are as good a detective as they say then you'll know that I'm not lying"
She moves her foot and holds out her hand to Robin.
"Please," she says, "hear me out"
The Boy Wonder doesn't take her hand, but instead flips himself up backwards to stand up.
"You have two minutes," he says, glancing at the computer screen where the girl's father and the Dark Knight were fighting, "talk"
"As you probably already know, my father has gone insane since my mother died, and he has been driven by his revenge since then," she says looking at the mask of the boy in front of her, wishing she could see his eyes, "that insane, revenge driven, man isn't my father. That man fighting Batman in there, replaced my father. I don't know who my dad is anymore. And I don't want to know what he can become. So, yes, I sabotaged my father's plan, and I'm not ashamed of it."
Robin raises his eyebrows slightly at Acacia.
"You're not telling me everything," He says, and Acacia turns to the computer screen, "tell me everything"
"I'm sorry, but I promise you, only I know what's been happening on this computer," Acacia says, worried what the Boy Wonder may do, "I didn't mean to hack that far in, it was an accident I swear"
She turns to face Robin again, trying to hide the fright she has.
"I didn't mean to hack into the bat cave" she says, gripping the table behind her
